In the evening, Shen Yue's people had not returned, and Qi Jie had some foreboding.

"Is there usually a lot of times like this?" Shen Yue asked Ah Gui.

Ah Gui nodded: "Usually they rarely go home, but we have a lot of beasts in the mountains, and it is not safe to spend the night outside." ”

When Ah Gui said this, Shen Yue and Qi Jie were even more worried.

Early in the morning, early in the morning, some clansmen came to Agui's house, shouting, and Agui went out.

After a while, Agui brought bad news.

"Oh no, there is news from the old village in the deep mountains, saying that someone has violated their taboo and will be burned at the stake. ”

"Is there a law at the stake? Can the stockade carry out private deeds?"

"Those villages are too old, we are ethnic minorities, and the law is not binding, don't you know that the law does not hold the people accountable?"

Ah Gui's words silenced Qi Jie and Shen Yue.

"Ah Gui, can you take us to see, in case it's our person, or the person we're looking for, you are a local, there will definitely be a way, right?" Shen Yue took out a stack of RMB.

"Okay, I'd like to figure it out, but first make sure it's the person you're looking for, and don't make a noise when I take you there. Agui immediately found two sets of local clothes for the two to change into.

Putting on their clothes, Qi Jie and Shen Yue look like locals, thanks to the fact that the two grew up by the sea since childhood, their complexion is almost darker than that of the locals, and if they don't speak, they really can't tell that they are not locals.

Ah Gui climbed a mountain with the two of them, and pointed to the houses stacked on the mountainside: "The cottage is there, there is a sentry over there, and outsiders are usually not allowed to enter, except for our own people, of course." ”

"You two must not speak up after me, they have lived in the mountains for generations, the rules are strict, and they still live according to the old clan rules, and there are many taboos. ”

"I see, we know, it will not be too much. ”

Hearing Shen Yue and Qi Jie's assurances, Agui took the two of them to the cottage.

According to Gui, there are three or four hundred households in the cottage at most, but with the passage of time, there are not many families left, and there are only dozens of families living in this cottage.

These dozens of families are more united, and generally not outsiders are not allowed to enter at all, that is, their own people are slightly friendlier when they enter.

When Agui took Qi Jie and Shen Yue in, he attracted the attention of many people in the village.

"Agui, who are these two?" Because they are from a nearby village, everyone is very familiar with them, and the people in the village feel that Qi Jie and Shen Yue's faces are very unfamiliar.

"Oh, they, this is the child of the uncle's family, the woman got pregnant and went outside to give birth to these two babies, so she has been living outside. He had been working outside the home, and he came back only after hearing about his background. This little one is his son. ”

Even though Shen Yue and Qi Jie have seen a lot of the market outside, it is the first time they have seen someone who can make up stories so brilliantly.

The two also immediately remembered that when they first came here, they had heard that there were women from the marriage clan nearby, saying that they were the marriage clan, and the marriage clan was also called the Mosuo clan, which belonged to the matriarchal society, and the two who got married would only be together when they had feelings.

Even if it is separated, it is almost the same as divorce, and now more and more ethnic minority people are going out, so it is not uncommon for people to divide and merge and walk in and out of the mountains.

But it is still different from the people in the cottage, and many people in the deep mountain cottage may not have gone out in their lives.

With the story of Agui as the foundation, the people in the cottage have no doubts about the identities of the two, and the most important thing is that the two of them have dark faces, and the locals can be real.

Shen Yue and Qi Jie nodded kindly to the copycat.

The man's curious gaze didn't stay on the two of them for long, and he chatted with Ah Gui.

"The burning stake will be carried out at noon today, it is two people, it is very likely that Ah Hai and Ah Sheng, it is said that the two of them entered the cave in the mountain and offended the mountain god, so the two should be sacrificed to the mountain god to calm the anger of the mountain god, otherwise the mountain god will punish the people of Shansai.

Listening to Gui's words, Shen Yue and Qi Jie felt a headache. The two decided to rescue Ah Hai and Ah Sheng no matter what. You can't just watch the two of them being burned alive!

"Ah Gui, the two of them didn't mean it, can this matter be solved with money? As long as the two of them are released, can you let them say a number?" Shen Yue said.

"Guest, it's not a matter of money or not, I can't talk about this matter, these clansmen are quite stubborn, if they can solve it with money, they won't be out of the way.

These people are completely different people from me, you two don't think that they are no different from me here, once they know who you are, the situation will be completely different. ”

When Ah Gui said this, Shen Yue and Qi Jie were scared, but Shen Yue couldn't watch his people being burned with fire, but they just strayed into the cave, where is it so serious.

"Then you can help me ask, how can I get people out?"

"No one can do anything about offending the mountain gods, and I can't do anything about it. Gui shook his head. "Don't think about it, all I can do is let the two of you give them their last ride. Now I'm going to help you find out where they're being held, and don't go away. After saying that, Agui left here.

Qi Jie and Shen Yue looked at each other.

"Senior brother, we can't watch them being killed, these are two lives, or we should go down the mountain now to call the police. ”

"It's too late for the police to come, the mountain roads here are not passable by cars, and even if they can, it's too late, and they're determined that there is no such thing, and it's not unusual for even one or two people to be missing on such a big mountain. ”

"Can't we get Gui to testify?" Qi Jie asked.

"It's useless, Agui and the people in this cottage are of the same clan, and they won't report their own clan. "Unless Agui doesn't want to go back to the clan, this is absolutely impossible, and he can see that the people here are quite united.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then how can we save people?" Qi Jie was depressed.

Even he and Shen Yue can't save anyone now.

Even if you save someone, you can't escape.

"Otherwise. Shen Yue looked at Qi Jie with a flash of inspiration. I thought of a solution.

"What's the solution, you say it quickly. ”

"It's just that this method is going to make it difficult for you, and there is a little danger. Shen Yue looked at Qi Jie with some embarrassment.

"You say, as long as you can save people. "In order to save people, he also gave up.
