Chapter 2 Aman
Jue Wuying gave up the gorgeous outfit he wore in the city, and instead changed into the black leather pants and leather jacket that he had worn out of the mission, and put on a black trench coat over his body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In this way, her whole temperament becomes completely different, she looks wise and capable, giving people a feeling that she does not let her eyebrows go. I was simply dressed in jeans and long sleeves, with a jacket and a travel backpack over my shoulder.
This is an ordinary town on the border of Yunnan and Guangxi, and I really couldn't think of where to start, so I took a map and pointed to a random place, and the first place we chose was this quaint and primitive town. The town is a bit of a closed area, and the road to it is very difficult to walk. However, most of the buildings here are still wooden and stone buildings from a long time ago, and they are all buildings with a few ethnic styles, so it is still a unique taste to walk on the street.
We found a hotel to stay, then went to the opposite noodle restaurant and asked for a bowl of noodles, first solved the problem of food and clothing, and after eating noodles, we asked for two cups of tea and sat and chatted.
"Xiaoxiao, I said that your luck is really good, you chose such a place, remote is remote enough, the scenery is very good, but the food here is a little wronged me!"
I gave her a blank look: "Your eldest lady will take care of it first!" At that time, I pointed with my eyes closed, and I also communicated with the four spirit jades, and I believe that this is the direction they pointed me to. ”
Jue Wuying took a sip of tea: "If you really find the spirit jade, it will be worth it!" But do you think the rest of the spirit jade will really be here? ”
I shook my head, although this was the direction of Lingyu's guidance, but my heart was also bottomless: "It's really hard to say. It is said that this place should be remote enough, and after all, this is a gathering place for a small number of famous people, and I have met a lot of people with good abilities along the way just now, so there must be hope. ”
Jue Wuying sighed: "You also know that there are many people with special abilities here, and they don't look like they came from the same clan, among so many people, how can we find the barbarian clan?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this, if the Barbarian Clan really has descendants, presumably in order to complete the mission as soon as possible, they should also be looking for us." It's a remote location, and everyone in this neighborhood should know each other, except for the occasional backpacker, there should be very few outsiders coming here all year round, so our fresh faces should have caught some people's attention. ”
"There seems to be some truth in what you said, so let's wait for them to find it!"
"It's not going to work either!" I denied: "We can't wait for them to come to us, and if they're not here, then we're not waiting." ”
"What then?"
"I still need to go out and take a look, observe the geography of this town and some people who have strange breaths, and by the way, you can explore. Since you're here, you're definitely going to have to look for it. ”
Jue Wuying's whole body was lying on the table, with a decadent face: "Although I am the elder of the Jue family, I am most afraid of doing physical work, but I have to accompany you to run west." It's better for me to deal with those people in the upper echelons, just use my mouth and brains. ”
After Jue Wuying finished speaking, he waited for a long time and didn't hear my answer, then he raised his head to look at me, saw that I had been staring out the door, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"There's something strange about that girl!" I didn't look at her, but kept looking at a little girl sitting on the steps opposite me who was feeding the little yellow dog with the pastry in her hand.
This little girl looked to be about ten years old, wearing a slightly shabby dark red dress, which was supposed to be a kind of clothing of ethnic minorities, but I couldn't tell what nationality it was. There were some strangely shaped silver ornaments on her clothes, and a few small black bells hung on her waist and feet, which made a string of light rings with her movements. Some of the black hair on her head was discerned in small braids with red bands, scattered all around.
The girl's eyes are very clear and her appearance is also very cute, but she has a thick yin qi wrapped around her, which is particularly conspicuous in this crowd, and it also makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Jue Wuying followed my gaze and observed the little girl for a while, and then asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Is there anything strange about this kid? ”
"Don't you see the yin energy around her?" Even I could see it, and she could see it too.
Jue Wuying listened to my answer, shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze back: "What's so strange about this, didn't you also say that this is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, and there are many people, so it's okay to meet some strange people." Maybe the little girl is the child of the corpse chasing family! ”
I looked back at her, and while she had a point, I still felt strange. Seeing that the little girl got up to leave, I also got up and followed: "Let's go up and have a look!" I always find it strange. ”
Follow the little girl out of the town all the way, and soon into the surrounding dense forest. In order not to be discovered by her, after entering the dense forest, we widened the distance between us and her, and we could only follow her breath. She didn't seem to notice anyone following, singing and dancing along the way, but the road ahead became more and more remote, making it feel like it wasn't an inhabited place at all.
After walking for about half an hour, a huge stone tower appeared in the dense forest, but this stone tower also looked a little old, very dilapidated, and several corners of the tower body had even collapsed in a few places. The little girl walked into the tower.
Although I wonder why there is such a stone tower in this deserted place, I dare not disturb the owner of this place like this, and I plan to go back to the town to inquire about the origin of this tower and the identity of the little girl. Everything here struck me as mysterious, so I became more interested in that little girl.
The people in the town weren't very xenophobic, and my questions didn't make them sensitive, so we quickly got the information we wanted.
The people of this town did not seem to know the origin of the tower, and they asked several old people, and they all said that this tower existed before their ancestors came to settle here, and no one knew who built this tower and what it was used for. But there was not only a little girl living in this tower, but also an old woman. Now the old woman is a little inconvenient, so she rarely goes out of the tower, and usually asks the little girl to come to the town to buy some food and clothing.
It is said that the mother-in-law was a widow whose husband died young, and she had no children, and that the little girl was picked up in the forest nine years ago and has been raised until now. The little girl is a little withdrawn, and the children in the town are almost reluctant to play with her because she is an orphan, but she still comes to the town a few times a day, and even if no children want to play with her, she can still play with the cats and dogs. The people in the town saw that they were pitiful, and would give them something, and many old people still liked this cute little girl.
There is also the fact that the embroidery skills of this old woman in the tower are first-class, and many large families like to buy her embroidery. But this is also their only source of income, and now that the mother-in-law is older, her eyes are no longer good, and the output of embroidery is getting less and less.
"Sister Wuying, what do you think?" After summarizing the information, I felt more and more suspicious, so I asked.
Jue Wuying held his chin and thought for a moment, and replied, "There is indeed something suspicious. That mother-in-law is quite suspicious. ”
"Actually, these are fine, after all, there are some people of unknown origin and some buildings that don't even have legends in every place, but the strangest thing is the little girl! Since they don't have any special identity and occupation, why does that little girl have such a strong yin qi? This shouldn't be! ”
"It seems to be!" Jue Wuying approached me and winked at me, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this, smile at you, you're so smart!" ”
In fact, as long as Jue Wuying doesn't smile or speak, she is dressed like this, no one will think that she is a charming, sexy, unrestrained and coquettish woman, but will think that she looks like a ruthless and capable killer, but as long as she smiles or speaks, this setting will collapse instantly.
The next morning we waited at the entrance to the town, and when the little girl appeared, we pretended to follow her along the way.
Followed all the way, there is nothing strange about it, her behavior has always been normal. She was a shy and silent girl, and along the way, some kind people put some vegetables and food in her basket, and she only whispered thank you. Another point is that she avoided the children in the town all the way, like a plague god, and hid or walked quickly when she met from afar.
It was almost time for us to stay, and she seemed a little tired, and sat down again on the same steps on which we had seen her yesterday. Soon a little yellow dog came out of the alley next to him, ran quickly to the little girl, wagged his tail at her, and stretched out his tongue and licked her hand. Only then did she have a rare smile on her face, and she smiled happily.
Jue Wuying and I walked into the noodle shop and sat down in the same position as yesterday, waiting for the little girl to rest before following up.
"You little beggar! Why are you begging here again! A little boy appeared with a group of children and came to the girl with a disdainful tone.
"I'm not a little beggar!" The girl retorted.
"Why aren't you? Every day, I came to the town to beg for food. And it's a little wild seed with no father and no mother picked up! The little boy continued.
"I'm not! I'm not! I still have a mother-in-law! The little girl continued to retort, and although the expression on her face was angry, she was very spineless and did not shed tears.
"Ah Xing, isn't that your dog? Don't go and pick it up yet! The little boy said to a thin little boy beside him.
When the little boy named Ah Xing heard this, he immediately stepped forward and retrieved his little yellow dog from the girl. During this time, the little girl struggled a little, but the puppy was still snatched away.
At this time, her mood was a little abnormal, the yin qi in her body was much heavier, and there was more resentment in her eyes.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I walked out of the noodle shop and came to the group of children: "What kind of ability do you guys have to bully a little girl!" With that, Jue Wuying had already walked up to me.
It may be because of Jue Wuying's dress and momentum, so those children ran away unwillingly without saying anything.
I squatted down in front of the girl, pressed her shoulders and said, "Are you alright?" ”
Her eyes were a lot clearer, and she lowered her head a little shyly: "Thank you, two sisters!" ”
I smiled at her and said, "No thanks! What is your name? ”
"My name is Aman!"
