Subsequently, several people took their luggage and walked to the cottage.

After only walking a few hundred meters, Yu Siyan hung his luggage bag on Wu Tian's shoulder and said, "I'm still waiting for you to take the initiative to carry the luggage for me, it seems that I can't count on it, so I'll take the initiative." ”

Wu Tian was silent, if it was before, he might really take the initiative to take the luggage for her, but since he was cheated by her yesterday, he suddenly felt that it was better to take less initiative, so as not to be sold by her, I didn't know, I didn't expect Yu Siyan to take care of herself very considerately.

This is not all, she turned her head and asked Concubine Xu Rufei to give her luggage to Wu Tian as well, but Concubine Xu Rufei obviously did not want to have anything to do with Wu Tian, so she coldly refused.

Wu Tian doesn't have a hot face to stick a cold fart-stock, just happy and relaxed, but he is a little curious about what is in Yu Siyan's backpack, not to mention that it is stuffed full, it is quite heavy, and the big tube is still carrying a few bags, as if he is moving.

A few people walked a few miles on the mountain road, Xu Rufei was finally overwhelmed, walked for a while to rest for a while, and I didn't know who she was competing with, but she refused to let people help, and even Yu Siyan refused to help her take it, her personality was really as strong as a donkey.

It took me half an hour to get there.

Yu Siyan obviously didn't come for the first time, and he took a few people into a village's house with a familiar car.

She greeted the head of the household in the Miao dialect...... Anyway, Wu Tian didn't understand, thinking that if she really sold herself, she was afraid that she would really be kept in the dark.

The head of the household was very enthusiastic, hurriedly moved a stool to pour tea, and asked his wife to prepare a few good dishes quickly, and shouted to his daughter to clean up the room where several people lived, and also took out a few jars of old wine buried in the mud cellar.

It was already lunch time, so it didn't take long for the meal to be served.

Wu Tian drank some wine with the head of the household, the only thing that was depressed was that he couldn't understand what he was saying, but the other party couldn't speak Mandarin, and Yu Siyan, who was sitting at the other table, was eating with his back to Wu Tian, as if he was afraid that Wu Tian would see her face, and he didn't have the consciousness of translation at all.

Fortunately, the daughter of the head of the household was studying in college outside, and she happened to be at home during the summer vacation, so she was immediately called by the head of the household to act as a translator, and the two communicated.

After eating, Yu Siyan immediately disappeared with Concubine Xu Rufei and Da Tube, and he didn't know where he went.

Later, Wu Tian asked the head of the household to find out that several people should have entered the mountain.

As for what to do in the mountains, the head of the household does not know, anyway, Yu Siyan comes once every one or two months, and every time he comes, he runs to the mountains, sometimes ten days and half a month to come back from the mountains.

It's weird.

However, Wu Tian was not interested in paying attention to her affairs for the time being.

Subsequently, he took the daughter of the head of the household to inquire about the Baique Qiangongmen in the village.

The daughter of the head of the household is called Peng Jiayun, twenty years old, very beautiful, the most important thing is that she has a simple and natural temperament, which gives people a very refreshing feeling.

The two of them walked around the village for an afternoon, and it can be said that they inquired from house to house, but they found nothing, and no one had heard about Baique Qiangongmen.

Wu Tian had no choice but to follow Peng Jiayun home, and halfway through, Peng Jiayun said: "Brother Wu Tian, if I don't take you to other villages tomorrow to ask, but it's a bit far, you have to cross several mountains, and it will take several hours to go back and forth." ”

"Okay, will it cause you trouble?"

"No, it doesn't matter if it's troublesome, because I like Brother Wu Tian very much."

probably realized that there was some ambiguity in these words, and added: "Brother Wu Tian has the unique temperament of our Miao people, so I feel very close and like it very much." ”

"Oh, what's the temperament?" Wu Tian asked curiously.

"It's naturalness, tenacity and unyieldingness."

The two walked and chatted, and when they were about to get home, they came across an old man who came down from the mountain with a large bundle of dry firewood on his back, hunched over his waist and carrying a wooden stick.

Wu Tian hurriedly ran over, took off the dry firewood from the old man's back, and delivered it to his home for him.

The old man insisted on keeping Wu Tian for a cup of tea, but Wu Tian was so enthusiastic that he stayed for a while.

Later, when chatting with the old man, I learned that he was a lonely old man, and his son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident, leaving him alone.

When the old man learned the purpose of Wu Tian's coming to the village, he thought about it and said, "This kind of thing, it is estimated that only the mountain guards know. ”

Mountain Keepers!?

Wu Tian was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.

The old man explained: "The Miao people do not believe in Buddhism, do not believe in the Tao, only believe in nature, ancestors and totems, in our clan there is a branch that specializes in the belief in nature, they live in the mountains for many years, not involved in the world, but they are most proficient in the history of the Miao people, especially their elders, called the mountain guards, are the inheritors of the history and culture of the family, and are born spiritual, can communicate with all things in nature, can be said to be powerful." ”

Wu Tian was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Then where can I go to find him?" ”

"I don't know where they are, only that they are deep in the mountains, and they have no fixed place at all, but ......"

"But what?"

"I heard from the older generation, if you want to find them, you can climb the cliff peak, as long as you shout nine mountain guards in the eyes of the cliff peak, the mountain guards will appear."

"Old man, where is this cliff peak you are talking about?"

Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a little excited, if the mountain keeper really knew, then all the questions might be answered.

The old man replied: "It is also in the depths of the mountain, starting from us, going all the way north, if the foot is fast, you should be able to see it in five or six days, anyway, as soon as you see the mountain, you will know that it is a cliff peak." ”

After a pause, the old man said seriously: "The cliff peak is not something that ordinary people can climb, the monkey who is the best at climbing cliffs and trees in our village has specially gone to see it, and he turned around and came back on the spot. ”

"Well, I know, don't worry, old man, I won't climb without 100% certainty."

"That's good."

After a pause, the old man continued: "Oh, by the way, if you go into the mountain, don't kill animals and destroy the forest, otherwise, even if you climb the cliff peak, the mountain guards will not see you." ”

"yes, I know."
