Caiyun didn't seem to be tired at all, and when he heard Li Qing's question, he immediately blinked his big watery eyes, and explained with great interest: "You don't know, this Longxi is round, and every household is dedicated to the mountain god Niangniang." The mountain god Niangniang likes the moonlight and is afraid of seeing the sun, so she will cover the idol with a cloth cover during the day, and only light incense at night. ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "Is there still such a saying?

"It's working. Caiyun smiled and stroked her silky hair, "The mountain god Niangniang has the art of change, sometimes pretending to be a young man, sometimes pretending to be a kind old woman, if you happen to meet a stranger you have never seen in the mountains, maybe it is the changed body of the mountain god Niangniang." If there are sinners in the village who are traitors, unfilial to their parents, and disrespectful to their relatives, the mountain god Niangniang will skin them and hang them on the door of the village to show the public, warning the Hakka people to do more good deeds and honor their elders. ”

Li Qing smiled dumbly: "The art of change? According to you, wouldn't the mountain god Niangniang become the Monkey King who can change seventy-two times?"

"You're not serious again. Caiyun spit out her pink tongue dissatisfiedly and grimaced, "Don't pee your pants as soon as you see your mother's real body, that's a shame." ”

Snorting lightly, Li Qing said, "It's like you've seen it..."

Caiyun hesitated for a while and said, "I really haven't seen it, but someone in the village has seen the true body of the mountain god Niangniang." A few years ago, there was a bully in the village near here, who was tall and mighty, not to mention blocking the road and robbing, and also moved the widowed woman in the village, and the people in the village were afraid to see him. ”

"And then?" asked Li Qing with interest.

Then one night there was a fog in the village, and according to the elders there, they had never seen such a thick fog after living a long time, and in the middle of the night they could only hear the cries of men, which lasted all night, and frightened every family out of the house. When it cleared the next day, the people in the stockade found that the bully's skin had been stripped and hung on the door of the stockade, and his hair was still covered with skin, but he was the only one who could not see his face. When the tribesmen searched his house, they saw a bloody skinless corpse, lying naked on the mat, a room full of blood, which was terrifying. ”

The corners of Li Qing's mouth twitched, a little shocked by the ability of ethnic minorities in remote places to make up stories.

Seeing Li Qing's appearance of disbelief, Caiyun Wu shuddered to himself: "I'm so scared that I tell you, why don't you still believe it? I heard that most of the people in your city are atheists, it's really strange, and I'm really not afraid of the gods getting angry." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "There are few immortals in our city, and most of them have gone to the countryside. ”

"Cut. Caiyun rolled his eyes, "Here in Longxi, the story about the mountain god Niangniang can't be told even if it takes three days and three nights to tell, and when you live here for a while, you will naturally believe it." ”

"I hope I'm in trouble, and if there's any mountain god Niangniang, I really hope she'll help me. Li Qing responded with a smile, not wanting to hit this little girl anymore.

"You are not sincere, and you are an outsider, so the mountain god Niangniang doesn't want to pay attention to you. Caiyun said with a small pout.

"Colorful clouds. A call came from Tashi's father's house, and a cough rang out.

Caiyun spit out his powdered tongue, then put a jade finger to his lips and shouted: "Late at night, Mo Yu, Ah Gong blames me." ”

She turned around and went back to extinguish the incense embers, covered the idol with a cloth, made a grimace at Li Qing, and went back to the house to rest.

Li Qing regarded Caiyun's words as a relaxing chatter, and did not take it to heart. Seeing this Nizi go back to the room, she slowly closed her eyes, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

This sleep was very heavy, and by the time Li Qing woke up again, the sky was already bright.

"Hehe, big brother, are you awake?" Qian Liming's big face leaned over and handed a tin can in his hand to Li Qing.

"What's the matter?" Li Qing looked confused.

"This is canned meat for the military, big brother, let me tell you, this thing doesn't look valuable, but it's very difficult. If it weren't for your brother and me, no one would have been able to get this kind of munitions. Qian Liming looked proud, "Hungry, right?"

"Take your tin can aside, he's not healed yet, and he can't eat such a greasy thing. Caiyun came over with a wooden plate, brought the contents to the table, and said to Qian Li with a clear look.

Qian Liming smiled embarrassedly and slapped his chest loudly: "Caiyun, do you want to eat? I brought a lot." Or what do you want, just ask, I don't have it at hand, just let them fly to send it. ”

Caiyun cracked the freshly boiled egg, and said angrily while peeling the shell: "Who are you and me?

"I... I didn't mean that..."Qian Liming hurriedly explained.

"No, no. Caiyun was impatient, and her good-looking eyebrows furrowed tightly, "If you are idle, go out and take a walk, don't get in the way here." And your canned food, I get sick of it when I see it. ”

Putting the peeled eggs on the plate, Caiyun filled another bowl of millet porridge and said to Li Qing, "Eat breakfast." ”

Seeing the power of this little girl again, Li Qing nodded hurriedly, propped herself up, picked up the porridge bowl and glared at Qian Liming: "Get out, don't affect my appetite." ”

Qian Liming looked at Li Qing enviously, and his eyes wandered around Caiyun again, and then he reluctantly left the house and ran to Qin Wuchao to sell his baby cans.

"This dead fat man, it's so annoying..."Caiyun muttered, and then said to Li Qing: "Drink all the porridge, I'll go wash a towel and wipe your face." ”

Caiyun poured water into an enamel basin and soaked a white towel in the water: "There is a sharp-beaked monkey cheek in your team, who talks a lot, and his face is more annoying than that white-haired one." ”

Li Qing knew that the person she was talking about was Qin Wuchao, so she couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth. Raised his eyes and stared at Caiyun's thin shadow, straight legs under the short skirt, and white little feet: "Where's Tashi's father?"

"Oh, Ah Gong went out early in the morning and will come back in the afternoon. Caiyun wrung out the towel and turned around, "I just heard the dead fat man say that you want to stop here for a while, you just have to recuperate in peace." ”

"This money dawn..."Li Qing grinned and glanced at Caiyun lightly, "Shouldn't it be hiding in the name of recuperating my injuries..."

After breakfast, she wiped her face with the towel handed by Caiyun, Li Qing wanted to get up and go around, but this little girl was very strong, and she didn't say anything to let Li Qing get up. Li Qing could only sigh and honestly lie on the bed to recuperate.

Caiyun was afraid that Li Qing would be bored, so he dragged the bamboo strips into the house, sat on the mat and made up the mat, and at the same time chatted with Li Qing without a match. Feng Yucheng, Wen Yang and Deng Shi didn't know where to go early in the morning, only Qian Liming and Qin Wuchao were left with a group of mercenaries to chat and fart, did they probe into the house to take a look at Caiyun, most of the time they were quite unpopular with this girl.

Caiyun has never walked out of the Longxi realm, but his knowledge is also rich, and he told Li Qingjiang some local stories, many of which are about the legendary mountain god Niangniang. Even if Li Qing didn't believe it, it was a pleasure to pass the time.

There was a sudden commotion at the door, and then Wen Yang pushed the door in and sat in front of Li Qing's window excitedly: "Big brother, are you better?"

"It wasn't a big deal, I'm fine. Li Qing smiled, "Where did you go, what's going on outside?"

"Oh, this morning Team Feng talked about exploring the terrain nearby, so we asked Qian Liming to find a guide to take us into the mountain. Wen Yang glanced at Caiyun lightly, and continued: "I saw a silver python in the mountain, seven or eight meters long, Deng Shi wanted to kill and roast and eat, the guide did not let him, and finally the two of them took a step back and compromised with each other, and Deng Shi beat the snake to death. ”

"Damn. Li Qing scolded directly.

Caiyun rolled his eyes suddenly, and threw down the work in his hand: "Why didn't I find out where you compromised?" ”

Li Qing pointed at Wen Yang, crying and laughing for a while.

Due to the injury, Li Qing has been lying on the bed, but he didn't see any virtue in this silver flower python, but Caiyun ran out to see it excitedly, and came back and patted his chest with his pink little hand, claiming to be frightened.

At noon, Deng Shi smiled and twisted into the house, gave Li Qing a bowl of stewed snake meat, and was scolded by Li Qing fiercely, saying that he wanted to follow the customs of the villagers and not make trouble. After kicking Master Deng out of the house, considering that this bowl of snake meat was cooked by Caiyun himself, Li Qing ate it cleanly, quite unsatisfied.

In the evening, Tashi's father came back, stood the basket at the door, and took out a pheasant from it and handed it to Caiyun, so the next day Li Qing drank the chicken soup stewed by Caiyun himself, which attracted the admiration of Qian Liming and several people.

Caiyun still worships the mountain god Niangniang every night, and Li Qing has already seen it. Every night at that time, after Caiyun finished the incense, he would secretly chat with Li Qing for a while, until there was a light cough from Tashi's father in the house, and then he went back to the house to rest.

After lying on the hospital bed for three days, Li Qing finally got permission to get out of bed and move freely. Tashi's father's medicine is quite effective, and coupled with Li Qing's own strong recovery ability, it no longer affects his basic actions.

On the first day of getting up, Li Qing gathered several people together and held a secret discussion meeting in the open space outside the stockade, and preliminarily decided on the next action plan. Capturing Gu Yue, killing Ram, and finding the so-called Zhen Fan Gu Lou became the three major goals of this small team.

But what happened next was something no one could have expected.
