Everyone joked about it, and it was considered a formal acquaintance.
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing learned about the work content during the chat. The project requires more external bidding. Now the workload is divided into two, half of which is given to Zhou Qu and half to Pan Yicheng. The former is mainly responsible for the actual construction, and the latter is mainly responsible for expert advice.
The group is now going to visit the aborigines. The locals claim to have belief in mountain gods, and even have primitive sacrificial places. Zhou Qu hopes that Pan Yicheng and others will go to investigate whether there is any value in visiting the local relics, and whether it is necessary to make concessions to the railway construction.
Zhou Qu stayed at the workstation to handle other affairs. Batu arrived at the workstation ahead of time. He was familiar with the surrounding environment and was assigned by Zhou Qu to be a guide for the expert advisory group, along with several workstation personnel.
The outside of the workstation is bleak, not even a little green can be seen. The mountains in the distance are brown in color and look sparsely vegetated, even similar to Gobi.
While Batu led the team to set off, he said with great anticipation: "That's what I said, but I still hope that it's worthless, and I really don't want to change it. The terrain here is already complicated. If you take all these things into account, the job is really useless." It can't be done."
Batu looked at the problem from the perspective of engineering, and of course he didn't want to face the demands of carping.
Tan Muxing was in charge of taking pictures. He used the camera to record the surrounding environment so that he could sort out and study after returning.
Chu Qianli looked at Yamagata, she thought for a while, and said: "The mountain is in charge of the people and the water is in charge of wealth. It should be an ordinary altar, and I guess the scale will not be too big."
There are too many famous mountains and great rivers in China, and precious cultures are usually bred in places with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to leave anything behind in places with harsh environments.
"Then we have to see it on the ground. The work must be done." Pan Yicheng said.
Talking about the end of Mu Xing's photoshoot, he still remembered that Batu is a minority, and asked, "Does Batu know their belief in mountain gods?"
Batu: "I don't know. To be honest, I haven't been here as a local before I started the project."
Chu Qianli: "Fake local?"
"Our province is too big, and the distance from my home to the imperial capital is even closer than here." Batu sighed, "Hebei students still envy me when I go back to my hometown, saying that he has to go to the imperial capital every day. , our province can be adjacent to eight provinces, you envy me to go back to work in my hometown!?"
"Working in the north of our province, and then working in the west of our province, it will almost span half of the motherland!"
"..."
Chu Qianli and others now have a deep understanding of the reason why Batu knows nothing about local beliefs. Although they are all ethnic minorities in the same province, they are indeed too far away from each other.
It is also biased towards local people, and it is not even suitable for living.
The environment is dangerous along the way, but herds gradually come into view on the short hills. Although they are not as strong as the cattle and sheep near the base, there are obvious traces of human habitation.
The simple and simple building complex is located here, just like the last residence on the Gobi Desert. The food is dried in the air at the door, and there are also decorative colored strips, but it has long been eroded by wind and frost.
Pan Yicheng staggered up, panting from exhaustion: "It's really original."
Chu Qianli commented: "A low EQ is called a bad living environment, and a high EQ is called the original ecology."
Tan Muxing looked at the buildings in front of him, looked around and asked, "Is this a village?"
"It's a very small village." Batu said, "I guess there are less than a hundred people. Maybe it's not as big as some communities."
The people in the village obviously knew each other. When they saw Batu and the others showing vigilance, they didn't take the initiative to say hello. They stood at the entrance of the village hesitating and muttering.
Chu Qianli: "What are they talking about? Can you translate it?"
Batu: "These despicable and shameless foreigners are here again."
Tan Muxing: "Brother Batu, don't you understand Mongolian?"
"Yeah, I can't understand the random make-up, and I don't know if they speak Mongolian or not."
"..."
Fortunately, other people in the workstation can communicate with the villagers, and some villagers can also speak Chinese, so they can finally establish communication.
However, the two sides had an unpleasant quarrel not long ago, and the villagers suspected that they were looking for trouble, so they didn't really want to let the group into the village.
Batu asked his colleagues for help, and explained: "Tell them, isn't it that you can't cultivate if you have faith? Now we have hired experts to come over and talk about faith today."
The colleagues at the workstation communicated with the villagers, but unfortunately the effect was not great, and they were still kept out of the village.
"Oh, it's like this again..." Batu scratched his head helplessly. He looked around and said happily, "It's a good thing the leader didn't follow today."
Batu whispered something in his colleague's ear, which attracted a surprised look on the other side's face, and gave Chu Qianli a surprised look.
The colleague at the workstation hesitated for a moment, and honestly passed on the message to the villagers.
The villagers were taken aback after hearing this, they looked at each other, and finally sent people back to the village to report, and they let Pan Yicheng and others go after a while.
Pan Yicheng: "What do you mean?"
Batu: "I said that our colleagues are regarded as shamans by people from other villages, so we came here on purpose this time."
Chu Qianli said in shock: "But I'm not a shaman!"
Batu laughed: "It's okay, we didn't tell you who you are, it's a misunderstanding of other aborigines, isn't this just a paraphrase..."
Talking about Mu Xingsi and Zhou Qu who was terrified at the banquet, he worried: "Will we not be scolded for doing this?"
Chu Qianli: "At that time, I can only let Professor Pan explain it with folklore knowledge."
Pan Yicheng was shocked when he heard that she was so righteous: "Teachers have always blamed students, but students can blame teachers?"
In any case, Batu's approach was quite effective, and he successfully met with the villagers.
Pan Yicheng could only turn a blind eye to this, and planned not to talk about the details with Zhou Qu. One more thing is worse than one less thing.
A group of people walked into the village, and they found that the living conditions were relatively primitive, and the entire village occupied a small area.
Tan Muxing recalled Yinlong Village, he is now convinced that Chu Qianli is not lying, Yinlong Village is definitely an advanced and civilized village, and it is definitely richer than this place. There are all kinds of products on Yinlong Mountain, but it is bare everywhere, and even the cattle and sheep in the mountains look hungry.
"It's really not easy. I'm using your light this time. It's the first time I went to the depths of their village. The first two times I entered the village, I could only go there." Batu looked at Chu Qianli, and stretched out his hand to point out the location for everyone.
The workstation wanted to inspect the local mountain god altar, but was brought to the village manager by the villagers.
Inside the house, an old lady sits at the head of the big table in the center. She has a wrinkled face and wears a small hat decorated with ribbons, feathers, and various complicated patterns.
As soon as Chu Qianli entered the door, she was stared at by the old lady and the villagers, and subconsciously shrank behind Tan Muxing.
There were many people in the house, and the two sides negotiated many times. The old lady spoke a minority language, and Chu Qianli and the others couldn't understand, so they could only stand by and wait.
The colleague explained: "They said that not everyone in the village can go to the altar. If you want to go there today, you must first perform a ceremony to see if the day is suitable."
Chu Qianli suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, I understand, it is to choose an auspicious day, so let them do it."
"Then let's go out and avoid it for a while?" Pan Yicheng said, "Wait for us to come in after they finish the ceremony?"
Colleague: "It is also said that only true warriors can go. Before the ceremony, there is a wrestling session. It is said that it is a reserved event."
Batu's face changed slightly: "... isn't it?"
Chu Qianli: "What is woke?"
Batu: "A traditional sports activity that belongs to the national intangible cultural heritage."
Pan Yicheng answered patiently: "It is written as Boke, which means wrestling. It is said that there will be people before offering sacrifices to Obo in the past."
At this time, a strong man stood up among the villagers. He patted his arm, stretched his muscles and bones, and waved to Batu and the others as an invitation.
Chu Qianli panicked: "Don't you ethnic minorities don't wrestle? Didn't you just break the stereotype!?"
Batu said numbly: "I didn't say no to wrestling."
Chu Qianli: "?" Are you messing with me
Everyone was forced to move outdoors to a flat, earthy ground, which could barely be used as a wrestling venue.
The villagers have already sent out candidates for their representatives, and now they are all staring at the group at the workstation, waiting for the contestants who will come out to challenge.
The burly man on the field was bouncing back and forth. He seemed to be doing warm-up exercises, eyeing everyone.
Chu Qianli and others unanimously elected Batu to fight, and they said eloquently: "This is your own national event, and you must be sent to it. Aren't you all riding horses, archery and wrestling to go to college!?"
"My God, I don't know if he went to college or not. I, who has studied in college, can't beat him..." Batu broke down, "I hope you will treat me as a Northeasterner at this time!"
"Northeast people are also very powerful in combat."
"It's still a stereotype!"
Batu's facial features are quite special, and he looks exotic. However, he was knocked down not long after he played, and his appearance did not match his combat power at all.
The rules of the game are extremely simple, if the part above the knee touches the ground, it will be considered a loss. Batu fell to the ground as soon as he was pulled, looking like paper.
All the villagers gathered around the field to watch the game. They found that the big man won easily, and burst into bursts of applause instantly. It really has the joy of celebrating and entertaining in festivals!
Batu shook the dirt on his body, but he was not injured, and complained: "I will never brag about riding a horse to college again..."
He was afraid that one day someone would really ask him to perform horseback riding.
As an old man, Pan Yicheng definitely couldn't play, but now he followed the show and said leisurely: "You have to make it clear to Lao Zhou when you go back. Our expert advisory team didn't touch fish today, and it's all because of your wrestling that we couldn't do research on the altar. Wrestle and win!"
Batu: "???" Can this pot be dumped
The boys from the workstation went to the field one after another, but none of them could defeat the experienced big man. After all, they were all engineers, and some were even purely civilians.
The crowd watched the competition excitedly, and even made a noise when the players fell down. The atmosphere was quite lively!
The people at the workstation weren't sure if they had to win to go to the altar, but they took turns and only the expert advisors remained. Naturally, Chu Qianli and Pan Yicheng couldn't play, so they could only talk about Mu Xing in silence.
Batu patted Tan Mu Xing on the shoulder, and said helplessly: "Okay, you can represent your group. If you can do it, you can pull it down. Let's think of other ways. Anyway, this game is not bad."
Tan Muxing hastily waved his hands to decline, panicking: "But I don't like violence..."
Tan Muxing witnessed the pushing and pulling of both sides, which was really hard for him to accept. Just now, watching it with a slight frown, he always felt that it was similar to a fighting event.
Batu: "What violence? What violence? Don't insult the traditional sports of our ethnic minorities!"
Tan Muxing: "..." But before you played, you still said that you hoped to be regarded as a Northeasterner
Tan Muxing couldn't evade it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and play, feeling deeply embarrassed under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The crowd burst into shouts when they saw a competitor enter the field, making the field heated up again.
The people at the workstation were also infected by the atmosphere of the game at this time. They briefly left the altar behind and cheered for Tan Muxing.
Chu Qianli cheered, "Come on, the stars! The stars will win!"
Pan Yicheng smiled and said, "It's fun to experience folk activities once in a while."
Tan Muxing bowed politely to his opponent, and after the two sides shook hands, the match officially began.
The burly man is obviously rich in experience. He is good at throwing, pulling, throwing and other skills. He always defeats the opponent quickly. This time he is also the first to attack and rushes towards Tan Muxing!
Tan Muxing was a little dazed when he first entered the stage, but was abruptly thrown by the big man, and then subconsciously blocked back, which made the big man take two steps back!
There was an uproar at the scene.
Batu was surprised: "Huh? Didn't he fall? That man is very strong, is this the first time he missed?"
Chu Qianli shouted excitedly: "Stars, stars!"
The big man was also taken aback, he became cautious when he missed a blow, and instead of attacking rashly, he jumped back and forth at Tan Muxing, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Chu Qianli asked in a daze, "What is this?"
Pan Yicheng: "Eagle step? Their wrestling skills seem to imitate animals."
Chu Qianli made a decision: "The stars will imitate Xiongbu!"
Tan Muxing on the field didn't know if he heard Chu Qianli's decision. He was a little absent-minded and his eyes wandered throughout the whole process. He was wrestling with so many people staring at him. Even his movements seemed slow, and he basically stood still.
If Tan Muxing doesn't take the initiative to attack, he can only pass by the big guy.
The big man's momentum was swift and violent, and he rushed forward!
Tan Muxing blocked slowly and grabbed the big man's arm.
The big man struggled hard, trying to bring down the opponent!
Tan Muxing turned around lightly, and slowly let the big man fall to the ground.
He has always been in a state of being cautious and handling with care, but the burly man couldn't break free for a long time, until there was a sound of exclamation on the field, and the final result of the game was announced!
When Chu Qianli found out that her tablemate had won, she cheered from the bottom of her heart: "Xing Xing won! Xing Xing won!"
Batu watched the whole match, his expression was subtle, and he commented: "Should I say it or not, if I hadn't been knocked over by him in the game, I would have thought that person had no strength."
Batu always felt that Tan Muxing had a strange peaceful temperament, and he was just trying to create a Teletubbies slapstick atmosphere. He wanted to switch to the children's program with one click, which was completely the style of a childcare worker.
