Chapter 526: The Woods
Now I'm actually very curious about the history and stories of their ancient Miao tribe, and I'm also very curious about the story of the Gu worm man who couldn't find it, but I don't have time to be curious about these things now, I don't know how long it will take me to learn Gu art, so I have to cherish every second of my time now, just in case.
"Then I'll go to the woods to look for Gu worms first. "With that, I'm going to get out of here.
Miao Xin stopped me: "Don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so let's do it, you don't know much about Gu worms alone, just let Miao Jing go to the forest with you to find it, and the two of them can also take care of each other." ”
Hearing this, Miao Jing and I didn't say anything, Biwei immediately said: "No, it's too dangerous to let Li Ran take a little girl, so I'll accompany Li Ran." ”
Miao Xin glanced at Biwei: "Aren't you also a little girl, and the injuries on your body are not healed, although this forest is not as good as the fog forest you passed through here before, but it is still very inconvenient for you to go inside like this, and you don't have Miao Jing to understand Gu worms, so Miao Jing should go." ”
Biwei looked unhappy when she heard this, and seemed to want to say something, but I said, "Biwei, you should take care of your injuries first, and I will treat you to a few more meals when you go back." ”
After hearing this, Biwei nodded a little reluctantly: "Well, I know, but you also pay attention to safety." ”
"Don't worry, I can't die!"
Biwei secretly glanced at the three people of the Miao family, and then put her mouth next to my ear: "Be careful, I heard that people who know Gu magic will always give love to those they like." ”
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, because I didn't understand why Biwei suddenly said this to me.
I saw Biwei wave at me, and then turned to leave.
Miao Xin looked at me and Miao Jing: "Then you two get ready, and then go to the woods after lunch." ”
Miao Jing and I left Miao Xin's house, and after going out, I said directly to Miao Jing: "Thank you, Miao Jing." ”
"Thank me, thank me, what are you doing?" Miao Jing was still bouncing, looking innocent and cute.
"If it weren't for you, maybe your grandmother wouldn't have made up her mind to teach me Gu techniques. ”
"This is thanks to yourself, you saved my brother, otherwise my grandmother might not agree to teach you Gu arts. In the end, it's because Brother Li Ran, you are kinder. ”
It seems that doing good deeds can really be rewarded, and I must accumulate more virtues and do good deeds in the future.
Just as the two of us were chatting, a child suddenly walked over, stared at Miao Jing, and then said a Miao word, Miao Jing squatted down, then touched the child's head, and also said a Miao word.
The boy was so happy that he left.
"Did you tell him anything?"
"He said, Sister Miao Jing, I'm so hungry, I said that you will have porridge to drink when you go there. Miao Jing stood up, "Hey, the harvest of crops is getting worse and worse, and if it continues like this, we will all starve." ”
"Are you having a bad day?"
"About a century ago, we moved to another mountain, because the crops here were so bad, and then we moved back more than 30 years ago, but the crops didn't change, and 10 years ago there was an avalanche here, and my dad died in the avalanche, and that avalanche killed a lot of people, and the previous planting was all buried, and now the cultivation is even worse. ”
I didn't expect this paradise to face something like this: "Have you always lived a self-sufficient life?"
"Well, we don't have the slightest contact with the outside world, and if we continue like this, we may really starve. Miao Jing's tone was originally a little sad, but suddenly became very happy again, "But it's okay, I believe that the bad days will pass sooner or later!"
I didn't expect there to be such a thing here, I looked around, and found that the living environment here is really not good, the meat that Biwei and I ate that day should have killed a cow, but looking at their current situation, it should be that only foreign guests like us will kill livestock, otherwise they will not kill livestock easily.
I think I should donate something to this place when I go back after I finish learning Gu arts, but I'll talk about this later.
"It's good to be optimistic, I'm sure you'll have a good day soon, and the hard things will pass. ”
Miao Jing nodded after listening to my words: "En! I believe Brother Li Ran's words!"
Miao Jing took me to her room, and I found out that there was a pink bear in her room, and the bear should have been here for a long time. However, the bear's body is particularly clean. ”
After Miao Jing let go of me, she took out a large basket and put some necessary things into it, such as knives and the like.
"Brother Li Ran, don't you have anything to bring?"
"I don't have anything, my luggage was lost on the way here, so I'll travel light this time. "Actually, I wanted to bring some flashlights and stuff like that, but I thought about it, I couldn't have those equipment here.
Miao Jing changed into clothes suitable for sports, and tied up her long loose hair, looking as cute and innocent as just now. Then we were about to leave the place and enter the forest, but before we could leave, Miao Xin suddenly came to the two of us.
Miao Xin said a word to Miao Jing about the needs of the Miao people, and Miao Jing immediately knelt in front of Miao Xin, looking very respectful, and said a word to Miao Xin.
I saw Miao Xin suddenly take out a bottle, dip her fingers in the water in the bottle, and then flick it on Miao Jing's head.
Miao Jing said another word of the Miao people, and then stood up: "Brother Li Ran, let's go." ”
"Did you just say anything?"
"This is our Hmong ritual, we Hmong believe in nature, once I leave my own Hmong area, I have to pay a respectful respect to nature when I come into contact with nature, so that nature will not prevent me from being harmed. ”
"Then shall I also bow down like I did earlier?" I feel that I should also show my devotion to nature now, since I went through that kind of thing with Biwei, I have found that the power of nature is really powerful.
"Brother Li Ran, don't need it, this is a unique ritual of our Miao people, and only we Miao people need to do it. Miao Jing glanced at the woods, "Then Brother Li Ran, let's go." ”
