Chapter 49 Gobi Village, Strange Children

The vast Gobi Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and the ground is full of gravel, stones, and hard loess, and there is not even a single grass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the three of us walked on the vast Gobi Desert, and we didn't know how to start with the matter of raising ghosts for a while.

"Shouldn't we look for a populated area and see if there are any clues?" Ruomeng suggested, "Since this ghost cult preaches evil doctrines and fools the masses, then they will definitely take root among the masses." ”

"yes, that makes sense." I chimed in, "I also think we should find a place with people, and it would be best to find a village." ”

"You're right, but how do you know where there is a village?" The bearded man asked.

"Senior brother, because you are still a university professor, you still have to ask such a simple question. Where there are fireworks, there are people. You have pupil skills, you can see farther than us, you can rise into the air and look around, and you will know. I said.

"Stinky boy, I just want to test you, do you think I really don't know." The bearded man said in annoyance.

"Okay, let's stop bickering, you better act. Now that the sun is about to set, we can find the village early, and maybe we can make it in time for dinner. I urged.

"Okay, look at me." The bearded man's eyes suddenly glowed red, and then his body rose into the air. Ascended to a height of several hundred meters, and looked around.

After a few minutes, the beard fell.

"There are people due north, about forty or fifty kilometers. Looks like we're on our way. The bearded man said.

"Okay, how about we have another speed contest?" Ruomeng said excitedly, this girl has won an addiction, and she wants to compete for speed when she has the opportunity.

"Okay, I'll count to three, and we'll run together." The bearded man said, "Listen up, one"

"Two"

"Three"

Suddenly, the three of them flew out like arrows. The wind is born under the beard's feet, and one step is a hundred feet; If the dream is fluttering, the body is disillusioned; My legs are full of qi and blood, my mana is bubbling and moving, and I don't fly in the air, I only take one step and walk, and I also step across a hundred feet, just like a leisurely walk.

Ruomeng still flew to the front, stopping from time to time to wait for us, and her silver bell-like laughter sounded in the empty Gobi.

After about five or six minutes, we slowed down. We have reached a grassland. The grassland is not large, about three or four square kilometers, and there are herds of cattle, sheep and horses grazing on the grassland. There was a small river that ran through the prairie and meandered into the distance. There are a few low houses near the river, some yurts. One of the more striking buildings is a temple-like building, with the exterior walls painted red, and it is noticeably taller and more majestic than the others.

As we approached the village, a middle-aged man with a turban greeted us and said, "Guests from afar, where are you from?" ”

"We are from Beijing, and I am a university professor who brings students to do geological research." The bearded man said politely, and after speaking, he secretly transmitted a message to me and Ruomeng: "Ruomeng, Yang Shu, you want to pretend to be my student, and you want to call me Professor Li, do you know?" ”

Ruomeng and I nodded quietly.

"Oh, it turns out that the guest is still a university professor, which is amazing." The middle-aged man gave a thumbs up, "What do you call the guest?" ”

"My surname is Li, and one of my two students is named Yang Shu and the other is Ruomeng. What is the name of the old brother? The bearded man said politely.

"Professor Li, I'm the village chief here, and my name is Amaqi." "It's getting late now, and it's just one of our villages nearby, so why don't you come to my house for a few drinks?" ”

"Okay, I'm about to bother. Later, we have to trouble the village chief to arrange a place for us to rest, I don't know if it's inconvenient? The bearded man said with a smile.

"It's convenient, it's convenient, I'll arrange someone to set up three tents for you later." Amachi said enthusiastically.

"Two tents are enough, and my two students are a couple of lovers." The bearded man said.

"Oh, okay, understood, please come with me." Amachi enthusiastically led the way. The three of us followed Amachi. The people I met on the road greeted Amachi warmly, and it seemed that Amachi was quite prestigious here.

After turning two small corners, I came to the front of Amaqi's house, which is a small one-story bungalow with a hundred square meters. When he entered the house, Amachi called out in a loud voice, "Akalan, guests have come, bring me wine and beef jerky." ”

Amachi led us to a low stone table and sat down, where a middle-aged woman with a turban came with a cowhide bag of wine and some beef jerky, placed it on the stone table, and then brought a few porcelain bowls. When he was done, he smiled and sat down beside Amachi.

"This is my wife, Akalan. Acalan, this is Professor Li and his students from Beijing. ”

Akalan smiled and nodded.

"What about Atayi and Atamo?" Amachi asked Akalan.

"Atayi is playing with Atamo." Acalan replied.

"Call them over, you go roast some lamb and some goat's milk, and we're ready for dinner."

Akaran got up and left. After a while, two little boys of seven or eight years old walked in. One looks smart, the other is a bit muddled.

The clever child called Abba and sat down beside Amachi, while the dumb child didn't say anything and sat next to the clever child.

Amachi pointed to the clever child and said, "This is Atayi", and then pointed to the dumb child and said, "This is Atamo, they are all my children." ”

"Has Atamo been like this since he was a child?" The bearded man asked.

"No, he was just as smart as Attayi since he was a child. It's only been like this in the last two months. Amaqi's eyes were full of sorrow.

"Did you take Atamo to the hospital?" The bearded man asked.

"I took it to the State People's Hospital to see it, and I couldn't find any problems." Amachi's voice was sad.

"Brother Amaqi, I know some Chinese medicine, let me help Atamo take a look, okay?" The bearded man said.

The bearded man's words made Amachi's eyes light up, and then they dimmed again. I understand his mental method, the State People's Hospital can't detect it with such advanced instruments, what can you do as a half-hung Chinese medicine practitioner. But Amachi still had the attitude of giving it a try, and agreed to the bearded man to help Atamo check it.

"Atamo, you're a smart kid, you're the best, can you play a game with your uncle?" The bearded voice has a calming effect.

Atamo looked still blank and let the bearded man take his hand.

The bearded man held Atamo's palm in one hand and put the other hand on Atamo's wrist, pretending to be a Chinese medicine doctor. The bearded man sent me a message, "Help me block Amachi's view." ”

I stood up, pretending to be interested in the bearded vein, just blocking Amachi's view.

The bearded man's eyes suddenly flashed red, and I knew that he was going to use the pupil technique to investigate.

After about a minute, the bearded man lowered Atamo's hand, the red light in his eyes receded, and his face was a little solemn, as if he was still a little sad.

Amaqi said anxiously, "Professor Li, how is it?" Check out what went wrong and didn't come out? ”

The bearded man didn't answer in a hurry, but asked Amaqi: "Brother Amaqi, can you tell us more about Atamo's illness?" ”

Amachi sighed and fell into the memory.

"Two months ago, I remember that it was a special day, when a thug from our village came back in style, his name was Amazhuo. is an orphan, who is idle in the village all day long, and does not graze, so he knows that this family eats for a day, and that family eats for a day, and over time, everyone dislikes him. Later, he left the village and went to the outside world. Unexpectedly, after leaving the village for more than ten years, he came back, drove a big off-road vehicle, and came back in style, bringing back a lot of good things from the outside to the villagers. He was warmly welcomed by the villagers. A banquet was held on the river beach in which the whole village participated. ”

"After that day, there were two dozen children in the village as old as Atamo who suddenly fell ill, had a fever all the time, and did not like to move. The doctors within a radius of hundreds of miles have seen it all, and there is no way. Later, I organized the villagers to take the sick children to the big hospital in the state, but there was no way, and there was no problem at all. No way, we'll be back. ”

"Later, Amazhuo came back and brought back a man who looked like an ugly Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest said that the people of our village had offended the gods, which is why so many children were sick. He also said that as long as a temple is built for the gods and a sick child is brought to the temple every morning to pray sincerely, the child's illness will be cured without medicine. ”

"We built a temple at the head of the village and took sick children to worship and pray every day. After a few days, the fever subsided, and the people in the village were very happy, and it worked, so they continued to worship and pray, but instead of continuing to improve, they became silent and dumbfounded. ”

"Brother Amachi, do you still go to worship every day?" The bearded man asked.

"Go, the people in the village think that our own sincerity is not enough, so it is not good, so they still take their children to worship and pray every day." Amachi said.

"Can you take us to the temple?" The bearded man asked.

"This will not work, you have offended the gods, and the gods will be angry." Amachi refused.

"Brother Amaqi, can you tell me which god you are worshipping?" The bearded man asked.

"This can't be said, the gods are powerful, and calling out the names of the gods is disrespectful to the gods, and the gods will punish them." Amachi still refused.

"Alright then, Brother Amaqi, let's not talk about that. Atayi is such a smart and lovely child, did he go to school? The bearded man said with a smile.

Amaqi heard the bearded man praise Atayi, and his face was happy, "Yes, Atayi is going to school now, there is a primary school in the village, and Atayi is going to school in the primary school in the village." ”

Akalan came up with a large plate of roast lamb and a large bottle of goat's milk.

Amachi said happily: "Come, guests, you are hungry, let's talk while eating." ”

Smelling the fragrant roast mutton, Ruomeng and I moved our index fingers and ate unceremoniously. In other words, the Amachi couple is really simple and hospitable, and the people of the Great Northwest are simple and simple, which is really good.
