"Hey, buddy, what are you doing going to the Miao Borderlands for?" The taxi driver was clearly the chatty type, striking up a conversation as soon as Ye Qing got into the car.
"Looking for someone," Ye Qing replied.
"Looking for someone?" The driver turned his head and looked at Ye Qing, surprised. "Buddy, you sound like a Han person. What kind of person are you looking for in the Miao Borderlands? Do you know someone there?"
Ye Qing: "Yes!"
"My gosh, buddy, are you joking?" The driver widened his eyes. "You know someone in the Miao Borderlands? How is this possible? Over there, Han people are almost non-existent. The person you know couldn't be a Miao, right?"
Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "Sort of."
"You really know a Miao?" The driver was even more surprised, giving Ye Qing another glance. "Buddy, are you kidding me? You know a Miao? Preposterous!"
"What's wrong with that?" Huangfu Ziyu asked in curiosity. "Can't we know Miao people?"
