Chapter 2 Part 1: One Hundred and Fifty-two Video Tapes Brought Back by Bai Su

Bai Su came back from Miaojiang. She once said that she would stay in Miaojiang for three to six months, but it turned out to be five months.During these five months, we had several phone calls. She contacted me when she left Lanjiadong and went to a town where long-distance calls were available.I always ask her: why you stay in Miaojiang, do you want me to help you finish? Bai Su's voice sounded quite tired: You know what I'm doing, why bother to ask? I do know why she stayed in Miaojiang. She said that she wanted to transform the female wild man. In the Miao language, the female wild man is regarded as a half-human, half-beast monster, and the pronunciation is Hong Ling.

I know that Bai Su stayed in Miao Jiang for Hong Ling, but what I don't know is why she stayed in Miao Jiang for Hong Ling. Bai Su doesn't seem to have any intention of telling me, so it's inconvenient for me to ask.We know each other so well.I know if she doesn't want to talk, it's useless to ask.Moreover, I understand better that if she doesn't want to say it, there must be a reason she doesn't want to say it, which must be a very good reason. Although she didn't say she needed my help, there were times when I wanted to see her in Miao Jiang.Especially Wen Baoyu, who was a bit selfish, and kept urging me to go to Miaojiang. He happened to accompany him, so he could meet Lansi, but I always had a lot of things to do, and there were always a thousand reasons why I couldn't leave.

Of course, if I really want to leave, there is really nothing that can stop me, but I always feel that Bai Su's decision to stay in Miaojiang is very hasty, as if there is some ulterior secret. On the contrary, it hinders what she is doing, because I have no idea what she is doing. Recently, it seems that there are more and more situations where I don't know what Bai Su is doing.Like the last time, when Wen Baoyu and I were in the land of subduing heads, dealing with pros and cons of subduing heads, I knew that Bai Su had had contact with the famous female legend Magnolia, and had discussed some matters.But so far, she didn't even mention it, but she didn't deny that she had talked with Mulanhua, and said that Mulanhua was very wonderful, and it was a long time to meet her.

For another example, last time, at the auction where one had to wear makeup to participate, Bai Su and I made a bet that whoever had poor makeup skills would be recognized by the other party.That time, I disguised myself as a Caucasian and dyed all my hair into gold. I was nervous for a long time at the venue, but I didn’t recognize Bai Su. I thought I lost the bet, and went back dejectedly, only to find a note left by Bai Su, saying There was something important, and failing to attend bet she hadn't gone at all. It is conceivable that the important thing must be really important, but until now, I still don't know what it is.

I once protested to her, sent the note she left directly in front of her, and questioned her: What is the matter of running away? Bai Su smiled nonchalantly, it seemed that she had absolutely no intention of answering my question, instead she stretched out her hand, snatched the note, and tore it to pieces.I said again: Unless there is a reasonable explanation, otherwise, according to your behavior, you lose. Although it's me and Bai Su, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.But when we make such a bet, if we are not childlike, we are still young.Bai Su's aggressiveness is quite strong (the more gentle the person is, the more aggressive she becomes, it's even more surprising), I guess she won't admit defeat and will tell the reason for running away.

I think my technique of extorting a confession is very clever. In fact, it did play a certain role, because after listening to my words, Bai Su half-turned away, and after a minute, she said: There is no reasonable Explain, I throw in the towel. She spoke very seriously, but instead I yelled a few times to ease the atmosphere. Naturally, I never mentioned it again, so I don't know what she went to do. This time, I don't understand why she stayed in Miaojiang for a female savage who was raised by a Miaojiang spirit monkey. That's right, that female savage, Hong Ling, can be said to be a miracle. It is worth studying and gradually returning her to normal. What about Miao Jiang?

When I escorted Wen Baoyu away from Miaojiang, I also asked her this question.She talked about him clearly, and found a random reason: I want to teach her to speak, and she can't only speak Hmong. At that time, I didn't ask further, because I could see that Bai Su was covering up something.When you see that others are covering up something, you have to go to the bottom of the question if you want to ask. It is a very boring thing, even among close relatives and friends, it is inevitable. I just grumbled: If the female savage can learn to speak Miao language, it will be very good. That's what I really think, because Hong Ling, a female savage, can live in Miaojiang, and the Twelve Heavenly Officials in Lanjiadong can't speak other languages ​​except Bunu, and they live well.

I don't know what Bai Su is doing. Of course, I don't like it very much. So, when she called me and told me that she was already at the airport and could come back soon, I had a plan to deal with it after meeting her. Let’s take a look at this question, otherwise, there will be more and more examples like this, and it will be really bad. I went to the airport to pick up Bai Su. As soon as Bai Su appeared, beside her were two quite large suitcases, and they seemed very heavy. Pushing the luggage cart with her also felt noticeably heavy. I said: My good fellow, what is so heavy? Bai Su smiled but didn't answer, I just wanted to take the opportunity to say: I have to pretend to be mysterious again, there are too many things about you that I don't know.

But when I looked at her and saw her five months apart, although she still had the same demeanor, there was an indescribable sense of bewilderment in her expression, which I had never noticed before. That made me very surprised and very worried, and I also felt that if she had serious concerns under such circumstances, I should not bother her. When the time is right, she will naturally tell me that I should trust her judgment. And determination, because I am her closest relative after all. So, I swallowed back what I wanted to say, but kept asking her about Miao Jiang, and she answered them one by one.

When the two big boxes were loaded onto the car, Bai Su said: There are some video tapes in these two boxes, I hope you can take a serious look at them. I didn't even think about it, so I agreed and asked a question: What is the content of the video? Bai Su replied: Hong Ling's life silhouette. I was stunned: Hong Ling's life silhouette.What does this silhouette of a savage woman have to do with me?Why did Bai Su want me to take a closer look?I looked at Bai Su, but I couldn't get any further clues from her expression. Back at the residence, I moved two big boxes in. Bai Su opened the boxes at the first time. I looked at the opened boxes, pointed at the boxes, opened my mouth wide, unable to speak, and my eyes froze. Straight, look at Bai Su.

Although I didn't make any sound, I can be sure that Bai Su must understand what I mean. The two big boxes were full of video cassettes, the kind everyone is very familiar with. It was marked on the outside of the box that each box was 180 minutes long. I guess it was more than 100 boxes. With so many videotapes, how much time would it take to take a serious look at them?Even if the content of the video tape is extremely interesting, it is still a chore, not to mention that it is just a sketch of Hong Ling's life. Bai Su knows that my personality is not suitable for this kind of thing, so as long as I open my mouth and look at her, she can know that although my protest is silent, it is extremely strong. My protest was effective, Bai Su sighed: There are a total of 152 boxes, one box per day, you can see the remarkable changes in the red silk in these five months. I still maintained the original posture, Bai Su sighed again: If you are really not interested, you can quickly roll the video tape over. I know, Bai Su's saying this is already the biggest concession, I shrugged, and Bai Su suddenly laughed: I found someone for you to watch with you. I hold her close to me: You? Bai Su smiled: Of course I want to see that I never get tired of watching, the other person is When she said this, Wen Baoyu's yelling voice was heard, he was yelling: I am very happy to have a friend from Miaojiang. While yelling, he jumped in, grabbed Bai Su's hand, and shook it vigorously. When he saw two large boxes of video tapes, he yelled again: What is this?Record of Miaojiang? Bai Sudao: It can be said that you must be interested in watching it. Wen Baoyu was laughing all over his body, rubbed his hands, and kept calling: "Hurry up."Come and see.Come and see. I saw that there were serial numbers on the video tape boxes. I pointed to the box with a word written on it, and Wen Baoyu immediately picked it up and walked towards the TV. It wasn't until then that I realized that Wen Baoyu didn't come by himself. Nonsense came in after him. It's just that his quietness was in sharp contrast to Wen Baoyu's uproariousness, so people almost didn't feel his existence. When I saw him, he just said: Xiaobao wants me to see the scenery of Miaojiang. Seeing Wen Baoyu's elation, I reminded him: It's all the life silhouettes of the wild woman Hong Ling, don't get too excited. Wen Baoyu pointed to Bai Su: Mrs. Wei told me that Lan Si is very interested in Hong Ling, and there are many shots of her, which is enough to comfort the pain of lovesickness. This kid is willing to go all out, even the nasty words about the pain of lovesickness are actually openly uttered. Bai Su only explained: This is what I recorded on video the day after you left. It took me a whole day to buy video equipment. At this time, on the TV screen, there were already pictures, people, objects, and the environment. Wen Baoyu and I had been to Miaojiang, so it seemed very familiar, but it was very new to Nonsense. When Hu Shi saw the close-up of Hong Ling's face, he let out an exclamation: she has a pair of elf eyes. Bai Sudao: Yes, she is extremely smart, she learns everything, and she learns everything quickly, beyond expectation. Then, seeing Lansi, Wen Baoyu danced and danced, and almost didn't want to hold the TV in his arms. Lansi was holding a bowl made of bamboo tube, and there was a bowl of black stuff in it. She was using a very primitive way to feed Hong Ling to eat that kind of stuff. She picked up the black stuff with her fingers, Putting it into Hong Ling's mouth, Hong Ling was very obedient and ate with relish. The three-hour video tape is indeed full of Hong Ling's life silhouettes. What I want to explain is that the first volume is numbered: (1), and I watched it patiently from beginning to end. Firstly, because it was the first volume; secondly, there were quite a few times when Hong Ling and Lansi were together, and Wen Baoyu read it with gusto; thirdly, if he didn’t finish even one volume, he was afraid that Bai Su would be unhappy; fourthly, , I just started watching Hong Ling's life, which is quite interesting. And since the second volume, I have no such patience, but as long as I watch the video, Bai Su is by my side.As the narrator explained, her patience and high spirits were astonishing. When Hong Ling was eating this kind of black stuff, Bai Su explained: It is a panacea concocted by the Twelve Heavenly Officials and Lan Si, after eating it, the hair on the body can be restored to normal. Hong Ling put on more formal clothes at this time, it seems that she is not very used to putting on clothes, but she likes it very much, she kept tugging at the clothes with her hands, Lan Si and Bai Su couldn't wait to start teaching her To speak, first teach her the names of the five sense organs. Indeed, Hongya learned to speak quite quickly. The first video tape only recorded what happened in a day. By the time it got dark, she could already speak clearly about eyes, ears, nose, etc. .And whenever she was right and was rewarded by Bai Su and Lan Si, she was very happy and laughed out loud. That was a real laugh, not a roar. After Wen Baoyu heard her laughter, he was very emotional: I heard her laugh for the first time, and I knew she was a human being, and other creatures would not laugh. Moreover, Her laughter sounded very bold. Yes, Hong Ling's laughter was very bold, not only bold, but also unscrupulous. Only a person with no intentions could have such an unreserved voice. When she laughs happily, she can also jump, jumping high, and her jumping ability is unbelievable. Two or three times, she suddenly reached out and hugged Bai Su, and jumped up together with Bai Su, which can also jump higher than one meter. As for her own jumping, she can easily grab a branch three meters above the ground. In the video tape, it can also be seen that the Miao people surrounding Hong Ling, including the Twelve Heavenly Officials, stare at Hong Ling with a shocked expression. Bai Su's narration is: The Twelve Heavenly Officials are very attentive, and they all admit that Hong Ling is a human being, a person who suffered an accident when she was a child, wandered in Miaojiang, and was adopted by a monkey. I watched the first volume of the video under such circumstances. Three hours is not too long, and Wen Baoyu is still not satisfied: Watch the second volume again. Bai Su said: Lansi left early the next morning, so from the second volume onwards, she was absent. Disappointed, Wen Baoyu took out the first videotape and threw it up and down in his hand. Bai Su saw through his intention: You can take it and record it, and then return the original tape to me. Wen Baoyu was very happy, let out a long whistle, and waved at Hu Hua, like a gust of wind, he swept away. Hu Shi hurriedly followed to the door, and said to me: Mr. Wei, I'm afraid I don't have time to read so much, after you finish reading, tell us the content. As I agreed, I immediately looked at Bai Su. My purpose is very obvious, to ask Bai Su if she can be exempted from military service, and ask her to tell me the content. But Bai Su avoided my gaze, obviously she still insisted on her opinion and asked me to read the volumes. From the second volume to the one hundred and fifty-second volume, I naturally cannot describe the situation of each volume in detail. . Let me first talk about my watching videotapes, a total of more than 450 hours. Even if I spend ten hours a day watching it, it will take me a month and a half to watch. Therefore, in many cases, I ignore Bai Suxian’s obvious dissatisfaction. Skip it with a fast forward roll.Anyone who has watched the videotape knows that when scrolling forward quickly, the picture can still be seen, but it is jittery and there is no sound. Most of the parts that I skipped over were Hong Ling's language learning process. Although she learned the language very quickly, the process was always boring. In this way, I also spent twelve full days, almost forgetting to eat and sleep every day, to finish watching all the videos. After reading it, I couldn't help but stare blankly for a while, because the changes that have happened to Hong Ling in the past five months are really too great. About ten days later, the long hair on Hong Ling's body began to fall off in a large amount. The situation was quite surprising, because it fell off piece by piece, not all of them changed from dense to sparse, as if they were suddenly shaved off. With a piece of hair like that, it is even uglier than when the whole body is full of hair. As soon as I saw this situation, I couldn't help but startled the boss, and lost my voice: This girl has become uglier than a whole body of hair, what's wrong with it? Bai Su felt the same way: I was anxious at the beginning, but after reading it, you will feel relieved. I didn't say anything more, after a short pause, Bai Su said again: You really care about her. I laughed: You stayed in Miaojiang for her and took care of this wild woman. If you make her so ugly, it is your failure. The intention of my answer is very obvious. I only care about Bai Su's success or failure, not Hong Ling. After Bai Su heard this, he didn't say anything more.When the long hair on Hong Ling's body fell off in large pieces, her appearance was really ugly, but after the long hair faded, the skin first showed a very ugly flesh red color, but after three or four days, it gradually turned into a red color. normal color. When I saw this part, I made a slight comment: obviously, she is Asian. Bai Su agrees: the scope can be narrowed, she is of yellow race. I nodded my head. The range of Asians is relatively large, Indonesia has a large number of brown people, and India has Aryan white people.The scope of the yellow race is much narrower.I tentatively said: it can be narrowed down to Chinese. Bai Su didn't answer. During those ten days, Hong Ling's appearance was changing, and her inner being was also changing. Her ability to learn languages ​​was astonishing.It must be that Bai Su and the Twelve Heavenly Officials were teaching her to speak at the same time. Bai Su taught the northern dialect of China, and the Twelve Heavenly Officials taught Bunu, which belongs to the Miao language family. Even for a normal person, it is very difficult to learn two completely different languages ​​at the same time, not to mention that Hong Ling has never known what a language is, and her pronunciation organization is more suitable for roaring and calling, which is more suitable for complex speech. The syllables should be extremely difficult for her.However, as Bai Su said, Hong Ling has extraordinary intelligence, and she learns two completely different languages ​​very quickly. Moreover, she knows who she sees and which language to use. This situation left me dumbfounded. Bai Su's statement is: Hong Ling's brain has been longing for knowledge, human knowledge, for twenty years, but she can't get it. Once she gets it, her ability to absorb knowledge is really surprising and unexpected. A savage who hasn't even lost his long hair can speak simple conversations. I am also amazed: and in two different languages. Of course, I didn't forget to praise Bai Su: it's rare for you to see her as a talent when you see her. Bai Su showed a very happy expression. In the video, it can be seen that Hong Ling is very attached to Bai Su, almost inseparable. Several times, it is obvious that Bai Su asked her to take a few steps back for the convenience of taking pictures, but Hong Ling hesitated and refused to back down. About a month later, the long hair on Hong Lingtou's face had faded away, leaving only the place where the hair should grow. The hair was about an inch long, which looked thick and hard, and matched her face shape quite well. On her left cheek, there is a scar, presumably it was left by a collision and injury she did not know when she was living with the spirit monkey.Other than that, she didn't have any other scars on her head and face, which can be said to be a miracle.Bai Su took a lot of close-ups for her. Of course she is not beautiful, but with thick eyebrows, big eyes and wide mouth, she also has an indescribable hearty and heroic spirit.In particular, her pair of eyes are so piercing that people dare not look at them closely, they are very special.Moreover, the elf light revealed in her eyes made it impossible for anyone to guess that not long ago, she was a savage who only knew how to roar. Her eyes even have a cunning full of wisdom. During this period, Bai Su also taught her boxing skills. In this aspect, Hong Ling's progress is faster, no matter how complicated the movements are, she can master them quickly, no matter how difficult they are, it is not a problem for her. Two months later, all the long hair on her body had faded away, and there was no trace of a savage anymore. The women in the Miao Village dared to get close to her. There was a videotape of Miao girls dressed in red silk. After all, a woman is a woman, she usually jumps up and down, never quiet for a moment, even when she is sitting, she will suddenly change her posture, and the whole person may jump up. She also likes being beautiful herself. The Miao women dressed up in red silk according to the traditional costumes of the Miao people. After dressing up, I couldn't help but sigh when I saw the red silk. From the looks of it, they were in high spirits, no worse than other Miao girls in Lanjiadong. I sighed: Good guy, it's been completely reborn. Bai Su raised her eyebrows: This is nothing, she will have even greater changes. I looked at Bai Su: What is your further plan? Bai Su smiled but didn't answer, I suddenly felt very bad, I jumped up and pointed at her.
