Zhou Zhi made a grabbing gesture, then waved his hand, replaced it with a finger, stretched it out gently, then suddenly retracted it, and then rubbed his ears to show that he was being burned.
As expected, Muxia Laha was very curious and did it again in a thoughtful manner. Sure enough, as soon as his fingers touched the hot exhaust pipe, he suddenly retracted, then rubbed his ears and screamed.
All the children laughed loudly. Muxia Laha's two brothers each hit him on the head, and everyone laughed even louder.
At this time, the door of the grain station opened. A man wearing a military uniform without epaulettes and a soft military cap without a cap badge came out. He said in Chinese with a strong Yi accent: "Do it all. What? Are you done with your homework? It’s your turn to teach you early morning reading. Have you mastered the required texts?”
“Uncle Tu, Mu Xia is good at fighting, but not at reading.” A little girl shouted from the side: “This. His brother just refused to let him touch the car, but he insisted on touching it and his hand got burned.”
This little girl speaks Chinese very well, but Zhou Zhi would not have been able to remember who she was if it weren't for her fluent Chinese.
Now that I think about it, the little girl’s name is Ziqi Aguo, and she is the best-learned child among the children Zhou Zhi took care of in her previous life.
The man stretched out his hand to grab Muxia Laha’s hand and took a look at it, then slapped him on the palm of his hand: “It’s time to go home and do your homework...”
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Zhi suddenly called out to the baby. The children took out a bag of candies from the trunk: "I have some candies here. Come and get a few each."
"Wow! That's great!" The children suddenly cheered, and one Either clean or dirty little hands stretched out in front of Zhou Zhi.
"The one with the cleanest hands gets first." Zhou Zhi pretended to judge the little hands around him: "This little girl has the cleanest hands. You are the first. What is your name?"
"Big brother, my name is Zi. "Qi Aguo!" The little girl liked the big brother in front of her who could drive, had candy, was clean, and had a gentle and elegant temperament, so she rushed to sign up.
Zhou Zhi put a few candies into her palm. Zi Qi Aguo peeled one off and put it in her mouth, and she immediately smiled happily.
"Second place, um, you, what's your name?"
"Teacher, my name is Amulano." This is the boss of Wolf Spleen, the younger one among the children. The big ones are also more stable.
Zhou Zhi put the candy in his hand, and then said to the other children who had puzzled faces: "Amulano's fingernails are a little black, but they are not dirty. His hands have also been washed, but I He knew that it was stained by the vine pulp from cutting the vines, so his hands were actually the second cleanest. "
Hearing this, the man in military uniform began to look at Zhou Zhi in surprise. He stood up and nodded slightly.
"Teacher, is it too late for us to wash our hands now?" a child asked.
“You’re in time, hygiene is a good habit.” Zhou Zhi said, “If you wash your face too, I’ll give you one more reward.”
“Yeah!” When the children heard this, They all ran excitedly towards the creek below.
"Young man, there are very few outsiders in our township. Are you... a teacher sent by the county education committee?" The man in military uniform asked as only Amulano and Ziqi Aguo were left beside him.
To talk about the person Zhou Zhi admired in his previous life, the man in military uniform in front of him is one of them: "No, I am a college student at Shudu University. My name is Zhou Zhi. I travel and look for projects when I come out."
Actually As soon as the man in military uniform spoke the words, he knew that Zhou Zhi was definitely not a teacher. It was impossible for any private teacher who had just graduated to work these days to be able to drive a private car. Moreover, although the brand of this car was not recognized, at first glance, it was better than the cars in the county. Much more. "Our teacher is Uncle Tu." Zi Qi Aguo blinked his big eyes: "Brother, why don't you stay and be our teacher!"
"Zi Qi Don't talk nonsense!" The man in military uniform interrupted Ziqi Aguo: "Didn't you hear what the elder brother said? He is still a student and will not stay for long."
"Stay as long as you can!" Ziqi Aguo, however, seemed not to be afraid of the men in military uniforms, and was trying hard to fight for it: "Big brother can live in my house!"
After saying that, he remembered to decide on a question: "Big brother, you You will definitely teach, right?"
"If I can find a topic, I might stay longer." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I definitely can't take it seriously. It’s a standard teacher, but if you need me to take over the class when doing the project, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
The man in military uniform immediately stretched out his hand: “Hello, my name is Tu Liangzhi, because I have worked outside. After serving as a soldier for more than ten years, everyone did not dislike me and elected me as the head of the township. "
"Hello, chief of the township," Zhou Zhi also extended his hand to shake his hand.
"Don't call it so formal," Tu Liangzhi said with a smile on his face: "Just call me brother. What project is Brother Zhou going to do? We are very poor here. Our industry is potatoes, pumpkins and black goats. There are no projects to do. Right?”
“I’m doing cultural inspection,” Zhou Zhi explained: “I know that Meigu is the ‘source of Sonobi’, the hometown of Asuraze, the great master of Bimo. The ancestral land of the Moroccan sect, I guess there should be a lot of information to find."
"Ah..." Tu Liangzhi suddenly looked embarrassed: "Aren't these all ghosts and monsters...I am a party member..."
"Brother Tu, times have changed. Any culture has its essence and its dregs. We can't completely deny the rest just because of one part of it." Zhou Zhi was laughing so hard in his heart.
Of course he knows why Tu Liangzhi is embarrassed, because Tu Liangzhi's father is the biggest "ghost and snake god" in his mouth.
Bimo is a priest in the traditional religion of the Yi people. In the Yi language, "Bi" means blessings and chanting sutras during religious activities, and "Mo" means elder or teacher.
According to the Yi literature "Leoteyi", the seeds of the spiritual fruit dropped from the sky and fell to the lower world. After three years and nine lives, they finally grew into a giant fir tree, but they always looked like a human but not a human, just like a tree. If it is not a tree, it cannot be the ancestor of mankind.
It was not until the time of Aju Acong that the mountain god learned that he would ask Bimo to get rid of the three filths of white, flowers and black. Only after holding a sacrificial pig divination ceremony could he become the ancestor of human beings, so he sent porcupines, white rabbits, pheasants and spiders as envoys to the upper world to invite Ebisi Ubimo.
After many requests, Ebibimo agreed to complete the work in the lower realm. Ebibimo cut back three sacred bamboo poles in the bamboo forest behind the house, made them into sacred lottery sticks, magic hats, and magic fans, and sent them to To the third grandson of Eazi, he came to the underworld with a scripture called "Smuangan".
After the third ancestor and grandson got rid of the three-colored dirt three times for the fir tree giant and held sacrifices to pig divination, twelve branches of the Snow Tribe were finally born on the earth, one of which became the ancestor of mankind.
Later, when the world entered the great flood period, the gods sent Sanbimo with Yi scriptures to save the people.
Each of the three Bimo rode an ox and hung the scriptures on its horns. However, when they crossed the vast ocean, the scriptures were soaked.
So after they descended to the mortal world, they put the scriptures on green branches to dry. As a result, an eagle flew and scratched some pages. The scriptures stuck to the green branches and tore some pages. .
The Yi scriptures have been incomplete since then. Therefore, later Bimo would bring horns, eagle claws and bamboo sticks as ritual tools when reciting sutras, and insert green branches on the altar, which meant that they would use these things to make up for the lost pages of the sutras.
