Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 061 The Dead Man's Inn

The three of them were looking for a restaurant in the county seat for lunch, during which Bai Yang tentatively asked a person who went to Wuyun Village half a month ago.

The guide's face was shocked, and he said, "I know that person! I was not at home at the time, and the county cadres found another person from our village to lead him into the mountain. But the man who led him into the mountain has already returned, and the man you are talking about is ...... Didn't you come back?"

When Bai Yang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Can you help us find the person who led him into the mountain?" We want to ask what happened, how did the guide come back, but that person is still nowhere to be seen?"

The guide looked at Poplar with a suspicious face and asked, "I wonder what your two are related to that person?"

"He's a friend of mine!" replied Bai Yang, quickly making up a lie, "I just heard him say that there is a very old Miao village in this big mountain, so I wanted to go in and collect wind!" but I didn't expect it...... He didn't know what was going on, he went in and never came out!"

"That's right!" the guide shook his head, "even if you find the person who led your friend into the mountain, you won't be able to find out your friend's whereabouts!"

"Why?" asked Poplar.

"Because since the person in our village came back first, it must be your friend who wants to stay in that Miao village for a while longer, so let the people from our village come back first. If you ask him now, he will only tell you that your friend is in Miao Village, and as for what happened to your friend, I can guess everything. ”

"What do you think happened?" asked Poplar.

"Eighty percent of the girls in Miao Village have taken a fancy to your friend!" the guide smiled, "This Miao Village has an open folk style, as long as it is a man that girls fancie, they are willing to take the initiative to stay overnight." Eighty percent of your friends can't resist the temptation, once they spend the night with the girl, they can only enter the Miao Village and never leave!"

Bai Yang was secretly frightened when he heard this, thinking that it was fortunate that this guide reminded him, otherwise even if he could hold it, Tie Niu would be left in Miao Village.

Tie Niu is far less serious about the affairs of men and women than Poplar, although he has a deep love for Hongxing, but as long as there are beautiful women in the place where Hongxing can't see, he will basically not refuse to come.

So when he heard the guide, he was even more frightened, and looked back at the poplar, just as the poplar was also looking at him, there seemed to be a joke in his eyes, and Tie Niu smiled and scratched his scalp.

Poplar turned his head and said to the guide, "Why don't you lead us to meet the man in your village, anyway, I want to know the exact news from him." Poplar said again.

"But if you want to go to our village, then you can't set off today, spend the night in our village tonight, and set off from our village tomorrow, then you won't be able to catch up with Wuyun Village until tomorrow night. The guide said.

Poplar couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he could only ask Tie Niu's opinion.

Tie Niu said, "I don't think we need to ask that villager!"

"Why?" asked Poplar.

"Think about it, since the village man came out alone, the county leader must carefully inquire about the person who went with him...... The whereabouts of that Senior Brother Wang. In addition, Professor Ding was thoughtful in everything, and since he did not tell us more information, it means that the people in the village themselves did not know more about the situation. ”

When Bai Yang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I really didn't expect you to understand this matter better than I thought!"

"That's because this matter is very simple, and you writers are too complicated, so the simpler things are, the more complicated you think!" Tie Niu said, winking at Poplar and laughing again.

The three of them ate in a hurry, then followed the guide to take a long-distance bus first, got off at a place called Zhupai Ling, and then followed a small mountain road into the mountain.

Passing through a long green bamboo forest, you can only see the rolling mountains.

Poplar followed the guide and asked him about the Dark Cloud Village.

The guide said: "Wuyun Village is in a big mountainside, and it is strange to say that the mountainside is covered by dark clouds all year round, so it is called Wuyun Village." There are still very old customs preserved in the village, anyway, you have to be careful everywhere after you go, otherwise you will be in trouble if you violate other people's taboos!"

"They must be speaking completely different from the Han people, I wonder if we can understand it?" Tie Niu asked.

"It must be different from talking to you Han people, even talking to us is a little different!" the guide smiled, "But don't worry, although the people of Wuyun Village do not interact with outsiders, there are too many of you Han people, according to legend, Wuyun Village has recruited a few Han people who have entered the mountains in the past, so there are still a few people in the village who can understand Chinese." ”

Poplar asked again what the taboos were, and the guide gushed about it, and Poplar naturally remembered it with his heart.

Tie Niu was not interested in this, and when the guide finished talking about the taboo, he asked the guide again: "I heard that you Miao people are good at making Gu, what does that mean, is there really such a thing as Gu?"

Poplar was actually very curious about this question, but he didn't want the guide to change his face when he heard this, and he didn't even say anything, but just buried his head and walked forward.

Poplar Tie Niu was very surprised, and hurried a few steps to catch up, Tie Niu asked again: "Did I say the wrong thing?" Could it be that I ...... Gu is something that you Miao can't talk about casually?"

The guide sighed softly and said, "It's not that we can't talk, it's just that ...... As soon as you Han people heard about this thing, they thought it was evil, and we Miao people specially used it to harm people! Actually, ...... Of course, Gu can harm people, but it can also save people! Moreover, among our Miao people, Gu will be extremely rare, and it is not like you Han people imagine, any Miao person can use Gu!"

Bai Yang and Tie Niu didn't expect the guide to say such a thing, in their impression, the legendary Miao Gu was indeed a very evil and harmful thing, I really didn't expect that the Miao people could actually use it to save people.

Bai Yang hurriedly said: "Then we really misunderstood, but I don't know what Gu is, according to legend, it is a small insect that can enter the human body through food and drink, is that so?"

"This ...... To be honest, except for the witch doctors in our villages and villages, the average Miao people don't know about it. So don't ask, I really can't explain it to you. ”

Poplar always felt that the guide was unwilling to talk more about this matter, so he and Tie Niu looked at each other, so they changed the topic.

Although the Poplar Iron Ox is familiar with the mountains and forests of the north, this is the first time he has come to the south.

The mountains and forests in the south are very different from those in the north.

For example, most of the mountains in the north are tall and straight, while the mountains in the south are beautiful, and the forests in the north are vigorous and majestic, while the forests in the south are beautiful.

Because the poplar iron bull is too familiar with the mountains and forests in the north, he feels that what he sees in front of him is novel.

So the two of them were in high spirits and did not feel tired, but left the guide behind.

The line went straight until dusk, and a mountain bend appeared in front of it.

There is no fork in the road before and after Nashan Bay, so the poplar iron bull is still safe and bold to walk ahead.

I don't want to just turn the bend and see a flat hillside in front of me, and two houses stand on the hillside.

I don't know how long the house had been built, but the walls on all sides, as well as the door frames and windows, were all black.

But the house shows no signs of decay, and the thatched bark on the roof must have been renovated not long ago, according to Poplar.

In other words, the house is still inhabited, not abandoned.

The two black doors of the house open to both sides, and above the black door frame hangs a horizontal plaque with two simple words: inn.

But the word is neither red nor gold, but white. It's just that with age, its white has turned gray.

Poplar secretly felt strange, thinking that what kind of person is this who opened an inn in the depths of the mountain, and he didn't even have a name for the inn?

was muttering in his heart, not wanting Tie Niu to see the word "inn" at a glance, so he laughed and said: "It's getting late, there is an inn here, we don't seem to have to sleep on the mountain tonight!"

As he spoke, he already called "Boss, boss", and ran to the door of the inn.

Although Baiyang felt inappropriate, he thought that since it was an inn, it was always necessary to live in people, so it didn't hurt to go in and have a look.

So he didn't say anything to stop him, but followed the iron bull to the door of the inn.

I didn't want to just approach the door, and first heard the guide screaming behind them: "Can't go in, can't go in! That's not for the living, that's not for the living!"

Bai Yang turned his head in shock, but an exclamation of the iron bull sounded in front of him.

Poplar didn't bother to see how the guide was doing, and hurriedly stepped into the door of the inn.

At a glance, the situation inside the door was even more surprised and surprised.

The strange thing is that this house has two rooms from the outside, but there is no opening on the inner wall of the door, as if the next room has another door, and the door is open at the back of the house.

In addition, there was not even a single piece of furniture in the whole house, there were no tables and chairs, not even a small bench.

In the corner of the house sat two people against the wall, one old and one young, the old one should be in their fifties, and the younger one was only eighteen or nineteen years old.

Both of them were wearing gray cloth gowns, and although they never stood up, it was evidently long enough to cover their ankles.

At the feet of the two of them were two straw hats, round and large, as if they were made of straw.

The two men seemed to be napping together, and had just been woken up by the shouting of the Iron Bull, the young one yawned wrought with sleepy eyes, and the old one opened a pair of cloudy eyes and looked at the poplar with pity.

Although Bai Yang was shocked in his heart, he didn't care about paying attention to this strange image of the old man and the young man, and only asked the terrified subway cow, "What's the matter? What is your name all of a sudden?"
