"Come on, try. Miao Xihe took a small wooden tripod and put it in front of him, opened the lid on it, and there were some very terrible poisonous insects inside, which kept rolling, biting, and making a trembling sound.

"Don't be afraid. ”

"I'm not afraid. Without hesitation, the young man put his hand into the wooden tripod.

Something magical happened, the insect in the wooden tripod seemed to be very afraid of the breath in his hand, and did not dare to approach at all, dodging everywhere, and a vacuum area was formed where his fingers fell.

"Sure enough. Miao Xihe was very relieved to see this.

"Knives. When a man heard this, he immediately handed him a sharp knife, which he wiped repeatedly.

"Xiaohe, I'm going to take a little blood from you, it won't hurt very much. ”

"Yes, Patriarch. "This young man is not afraid at all.

Miao Xihe gently slit his wrist and released a small half bowl of blood.

"Alright. He quickly applied ointment to the wound, and in no time, the bleeding stopped.

"Xiaohe, tell me the truth, is there any place in your body that you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, that's good. The young man said.

"Don't you want to stay in here?"

"Well, I'm used to it. The young man said.

"Bear with me, it won't be long before you can leave. Miao Xihe held him in his arms and comforted him softly.

"It's okay, Patriarch. "This young man is very sensible.

"Okay, good," Miao Xihe nodded vigorously, looking very pleased.

He spoke with the young man for a long time.

"Xiaohe, let's go, let's go out for a walk. ”

He took the young man out of the other way, it was an extremely dangerous road, in the depths of the cave, almost a hollow in the cliff, leading to a hole halfway up the mountainside, if it was an ordinary person, even with the help of ropes, it was very difficult to get in and out, because it was not only a matter of the cliff, but also a large number of centipedes and other strange insects on the cliff, just the appearance of the vicious, they were highly poisonous.

"Come, I'll carry you. ”

"I can do it myself. ”

"Come on. ”

Miao Xihe carried the young man on his back and rubbed up the steep cliff, like a dexterous ape. In an instant, I was halfway up the mountain, and then I came outside.

The sun is shining, even a little harsh.

In the sunlight, the young man looked no more than twenty years old, with a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, looking up at the clear blue sky, and he was distracted for a long time.

"Xiaohe, I'll read a medical book below, you memorize it by heart. "Miao West River Road.

"Yes, Patriarch. ”

Miao Xihe immediately began to recite, he did not speak loudly, the speed of his speech was very slow, and his words were very clear, one side after another, three times in succession.

"How, how much do you remember?"

"Memorized them all. The young man said.

"yes, I'll listen to it by reciting it. "Miao West River Road.

Xiaohe immediately recited it, very fluently, and not a word was bad.

"Okay, good, think about it when you're fine, it's good for you. ”

"Yes, Patriarch. The young man said.

The old man and the young man sat on the mountainside, quietly looking into the distance, and after a long time, the young man stood up.

"Let's go down, Patriarch, it's been too long, they should be worried. ”

"Well, good. Miao Xihe looked at this young child, and his inner mood was very complicated.

He is too well-behaved and cooperative, how nice it would be if it were his own son!

The two men came down from the cliff and re-entered the cave.

"Xiaohe, I'll come back tomorrow. ”

"The patriarch walked slowly. The young man watched Miao Xihe leave the cave.

After diving out, the two of them came out of the water and entered the forest after making sure that there was no one around.

"Xiaohe is a good boy. "Miao West River Road.

"Well, he is very obedient and very cooperative, which makes us all feel very surprised and relieved, the patriarch has not hurt him in vain all these years. The middle-aged man next to him said.

"Fengxing, if I have an accident this time, the village will depend on you in the future. Miao Xihe stopped and said to the man beside him.

"Patriarch, why did you suddenly say such a thing, the village can't leave you!" the middle-aged man hurriedly said after hearing this.

"Fengxing, I have never treated you as an outsider, or even as my own half of my son, this time, the turmoil outside is too big, some people are very dissatisfied, and the peaceful life of our village is probably coming to an end. "Miao West River Road.

Recently, more and more people have come to the village, the people outside have brought things from the outside, and the people in the village are repellent, but this is only temporary, it is the inherent tradition in the village that binds them, and sooner or later someone will accept it, because the things outside are too exciting, too erosive, and if there is a person who accepts it, there will be a second and third, just like a dam bursting, a little bit of a gap, and then it will be too difficult to block, sooner or later the embankment will burst, and then it will be earth-shaking changes. At that time, people's hearts also changed, and the village was not so easy to control.

"I didn't expect that the words of the old patriarch would come true in my hands. Miao Xihe stretched out his right hand.

He tried his best to stop it, wanted to keep it, but as soon as the general trend came, he entered the surging river, couldn't stop it, couldn't stop it, and the things he was guarding were going to change sooner or later.

When the two of them walked into the village, they saw a wave of outsiders, four men and two women, carrying backpacks, looking at this paradise with joy and curiosity.

"Look, here we go again. Miao Xihe pointed at them.

"Bring them to me. "Miao West River Road.

"Yes. The middle-aged man beside him said.

Miao Xihe's home, in the wooden house, six young outsiders, very curious to look around, this ancient wooden building, and the middle-aged man sitting at the top position, also staring at them, the patriarch of this paradise, there are many rumors about him on the Internet, saying that he is the staunch guardian of the isolation strategy in this village, and he has done a lot of bad things in this village, that is, the overlord of one side, not a good person.

"Hello, welcome to our stockade. Miao Xihe said with a smile.

"Hey, it doesn't seem to be the same as the rumored situation!" "A few people, you look at me, I look at you, to be honest, they were still scared when they came in."

"Thank you, hello, Miao patriarch. ”

"You know me?"

"There are a lot of rumors about you online. ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" Miao Xihe said with a smile after hearing this.

"Well, not a good word. The man at the head of the six smiled.

"To be honest, I really don't welcome outsiders like you. ”

"Can you tell me why, such a good place, if there are more people coming, it will definitely bring you a lot of income, and besides, the way in is so bad, it's not convenient for you to travel or anything, right?"

"We are not so eager for money, we live here, we can be self-sufficient, it doesn't matter if the road is almost there, because we basically don't go out much, maybe you think that we live like this very closed, very backward, but we feel that we live like this very comfortable, very happy, I don't believe you can ask, I can't guarantee that everyone says so, but more than 95% of people will think so. "Miao West River Road.

"But are you willing to go on like this?"

"Then why are you here, why do you think it's good here, because those four words, paradise, right?"

"Yes, there are no factories, no cars, no smoke, no hustle and bustle, all you have is nature, the most primitive nature, which is intoxicating. ”

"You are used to the life of the big city, you will be surprised when you encounter a place like our village, you will like it, you will yearn for it, but you think about it, if you let go and build the road, we will still be like this here, it is estimated that it will not take ten years, there will be a big change here, there are factories, there are cars, there are bars, there are restaurants, it is not so quiet, it is not so natural, just like the old town of Lijiang. "Miao West River Road.

"Have you ever been out?"

"Been out, and been to more than one place. Miao Xihe said with a smile.
