chili naxi grandmom

We met her after we met those two lovely naxi ladies. She was washing her chilies at the little stream next to the vege field and she kindly offered the chili she was biting to me (of course, she took some parts off and handed it to me, voila! hahahaha). Then she offered more and more, and we thought she was cute, so we took a photo with her. BUT.... right after the photo shoot, she used mandarin with quite heavy local accent telling me that we had to pay for taking photos with her. I thought okay, not a problem at all, as some parts of the tourist destinations worldwide do have this common rule. While I was busy taking 1ZMB note out of my pocket and handed it to her, I heard she said "No, 2ZMB". Since then, she completely ruined my beautiful moment with her. I thought of one sentence of an western song, it sings like ...... when you say nothing at all ~

辣椒婆婆與我們,有著

熱情的吃辣椒情緣
含蓄的拍照付費情緣
沒有下次的無緣結局

婆婆,你知道嗎?
剛開始的時候你很可愛
要我給你合照錢的時候也還算可愛
但是你嫌一元不夠,要兩元才可以時,你知道我很難過嗎?
你碎了我與你田野間相遇的美好感覺

別難過,或許妳帶給老婆婆的.可以讓老婆婆開心.
老婆婆請求金錢的想法,或許也是很單純的.
我多嘴了.但我想妳是好人.別因為這個難過...

我突然想到楊大哥不愛照相,他說他們媽媽輩以上的說拍照魂會被攝去.....也許老婆婆也有這樣的想法,魂被攝去了,那麼來點錢,還可以彌補一下,這樣想會開心一點.

謝謝Matilda 及狗兒的開導
我應該把"難過"這兩個字眼改掉,因為我心境上的感受並沒有如此強烈嚴重,只是反映當時我聽到那句話的感覺,就是失望。我想文明社會帶給納西人的改變,這也算其中一部分吧?!

在我旅行中總會無意間遇到一些人,有過短暫交流;即使這些人不見得會在我的人生旅途中佔有很大的空間,但他們終究曾在我的心裡駐足過。

我還是很高興遇見婆婆、吃了她種的辣椒、跟她相處簡短的幾分鐘啦! 也許就像楊大哥說的,他媽媽說不要隨便被拍照,不然魂會被拍走。呵呵呵....

恩.希望沒有開導那麼嚴肅.
我自己才需要人家開導呢.呵呵...
只是我曾經也有過類似失望的感覺.
所以才會冒昧的留言~ 不好意思吶~
你的旅行記事都很棒呢!

祝 好~ : )
