In order to facilitate our understanding of local customs and enthusiastic teacher, Sun gave him the knowledge of our cultural center of the Dai village cadres and knife Baoding home before they put away.
Baoding knife put to the lamp drive west, and his wife warmly invited to our Chinese New Year at home. Uncertain about Dai customs, did not want to inconvenience people too much, we went to the town center's only hotel, the most beautiful small building where he was staying, the owner Dai Xiao Zhou downstairs market women selling bean jelly, very clean home and clean up. Rain stopped, we lingered at the village alley, got into the porch patio people watching New Year ritual of burning incense, the custom of the Dai New Year's Eve to the ancestors before the Shang Fen, home slaughter of chickens worship ancestors, every household cleaning houses, bath updated clothing.

Silent Night was cursed witch-like murmur has become increasingly clear, I am afraid of them, an early reduction in bed to sleep.
Night rain hard. In this tranquil mountain country, with consecutive days of fatigue and lack of sleep are added back. The morning, misty, morning mist inside the stockade like just waking up, the Quartet fog of the mountains gradually wear clothing with 3322 villagers, the different ethnic festivals clothing, walking in the wet along the streets to catch the last day of the twelfth lunar month of malaria. Today is New Year's Eve啦.
To the knife Baoding home interviews, the bulk shrimp and short-sightedness of the rain, I ran the wrong people, then honest Dai couples did not ask who we are, burned the tea invitation to sit, but also helped me in the fireplace wet clothes on the grill . The topic to be opened, They laughed off the question directly, I found a mistake! They are still smiling way, brought us to the back of the knife at home.

Light rain for a float for a stop, the mountains with cloud changes.

Life can not be filled with a variety of swore off trouble, the pressure and responsibility. I do not know when it can live only for their own whim. In all the beautiful scenery, we are all passer-by. Rare journey so reckless, do not hurry, what would not have thought I gave myself the luxury of a half-day, in such a remote mountain country of the upstairs market, in the fresh cloud of years, quietly sat, hair a stay for the whole heart, calm down --
