Chapter 19: Women Are Afraid of Snakes
Everyone entered the gate, Lin Tao pressed the switch to open it, and the door closed with a rumbling sound. It seems to go directly from the day to the night, the empty cave, the street lights are all turned on, and the shadows are abundant, Xu Tianyi and Yingya feel like walking in the quiet night of Vientiane, which is very emotional.
"Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen such a big cave." Yingya exclaimed.
Yu Songyuan reported the entire situation of the cave to them.
But the two women, the more they went inside, the more frightened they became. Yu Songyuan did not rush to take them to inspect, but first took them to the living area, sat down in the Chunliao bar, drank coffee, tidied up, and cleaned up.
"What about Shuwen, why isn't it in a cave?" Xu Tianyi asked.
"She stayed in Miao Village, which is the barrier of the underground world, and nothing can happen!"
As soon as Yu Songyuan finished speaking, Lin Tao smiled first, and then asked, "Two eldest sisters, can you guess what this witch's biggest hobby is?" ”
"What is it? I really don't know! Xu Tianyi and Yingya were stunned for a moment, the witch lived in the south of Annam, and they were not familiar with her before, and they really didn't know what personal hobbies the witch had.
"Carpentry, carving!" Liu Guodong smiled, "Inexplicably, this girl's carpentry work is even better than my major!" ”
It turned out that in the past two days, the witch has been staying in Miao Village and found a "treasure".
That day, after Hu Shixiong and Hu Shibing were reprimanded and robbed by her, they hurriedly gathered all the Miao people and announced that no one should discriminate against the carpenter's family again. After the meeting, the witch was not at ease, and lived in the bamboo building of the craftsman's house herself.
It was in this dilapidated bamboo building on stilts that she found her bosom friend and found the "baby"!
The man of the carpenter's family is five short and stocky, and his name is Hu Shiyou. The hostess's name is Xu Yunhua, but she is tall and white, and the two stand together, which is extremely incompatible. Hu Shiyou is a jungle carpenter, and he is an indispensable figure in the village when building bamboo buildings and building simple furniture, and he is very authoritative in the village.
The so-called "jungle carpenter" is different from the carpenter who works hard to make furniture outside the mountain. The Miao family migrated from place to place, and the carpenter's main job was to build wooden houses or bamboo houses on stilts.
In the primeval jungle of Lancang, there are many rare and rare trees, and the price of teak and rosewood is higher than gold. Red almond wood, camphor wood, iron wood, etc., are all excellent wood. You take a walk around the primeval jungle of Lancang, and the good wood that is hard to find elsewhere is everywhere and at your fingertips.
The witch has no sense of the tree, and when she sees good wood, she becomes an expert.
There is a large piece of wood under Hu Shiyou's bamboo building, which is two or three meters long and can have a diameter of more than 40 centimeters. The whole body is black, like metal. The sun and rain have not changed at all, and they still have a black and shiny luster.
When the witch saw it, her eyes turned green and straight.
Seeing this, Hu Shiyou deliberately said, "This tree originally grew behind our bamboo building, and it was cut down by lightning and let me cut it like this." The trunk is so heavy that carrying it can exhaust a cow. I wanted to chop it to make firewood, but it was as hard as iron, and a few people couldn't get it open. I wanted to throw it away, but the baby mother was reluctant, so she simply made a skid. It's been a few years, and it hasn't changed color at all. ”
"This is the famous ironwood, and it is a carved quality. In the past, powerful people would use it to carve flowers or make chopsticks. If you can have such a wood carving at home, or even a few pairs of chopsticks, it will be quite face-saving. Moreover, this kind of wood carving or chopsticks is not broken, does not rot and is not corrupted, and can be passed down from generation to generation as a treasure in the family. The witch explained, looking back and forth, and couldn't put it down.
"Chief Wu is our savior, you are a big man, how can you know wood?" Hu Shiyou asked.
"You're a carpenter, I'm a carver." The witch grinned and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, our family loves this." My mother loved carving, and all three of my sisters were influenced by her, and they all loved carving. My father once bought a piece of ironwood from the Java Islands and carved it for us to pass on to the next generation. ”
"That's great, it's useless to put this wood for us, so we'll give it to Chief Wu." Xu Yunhua hurriedly said. The hostess was overwhelmed with gratitude for the witch's presence, and the family was destitute and could not be repaid.
The witch said, "It's not to give, it's to buy." You are about to move to Banbahang Forest Farm to settle down, Master Hu will go to the forest farm to work as a carpenter, and your three daughters need to go to school, and they all need expenses. So I'm ready to buy it! ”
At this moment, Hu Shixiong and Hu Shibing came over, and Hu Shixiong said, "Chief Wu, it's just a piece of wood." If you don't come, we won't be as good as this wood. I'm in charge, Shiyou sawed and planed the wood according to the meaning of the witch chief, and counted a little bit of our Miao people's mind. ”
The witch couldn't argue anymore, so she did what Hu Shixiong wanted.
Just do it, Hu Shixiong found a helper, and Hu Shiyou immediately sawed and cut it into 80 centimeter-long thin plates. I didn't dare to throw away the scraps, cut them into 30 centimeters long, and after bringing them to the Babanbahang base, they were made into chopsticks for everyone to commemorate. Downstairs is vigorously cutting wood, upstairs witch and Xu Yunhua have become good sisters. Xu Yunhua is nearly forty years old, but he still has charm and is very feminine.
Before the attack on Miao Village, at the edge of the woodland, when Cook was raping Xu Yunhua by the pool, the witch had seen her figure, and she had been suffering in the mountains and old forests for many years, but Xu Yunhua was not like other middle-aged women in the Miao family, and her figure was not out of shape at all, like a young woman in her twenties and thirties.
During the conversation, it was learned that Xu Yunhua turned out to be a native of Yongzhou City, the capital of Gui Province, China. At that time, she and more than a dozen classmates, who had not graduated from middle school, were full of revolutionary ideals and secretly crossed the border into the Indochina Peninsula to prepare to go to Honsawady to participate in the armed struggle of the Communist Party of Burma. As a result, after entering Lancang, they entered the jungle to escape the local drug trafficking forces.
They ate and drank in the primeval jungle for a whole year. At that time, Lancang was being wrenched into the Vietnam War, and the Miao armed forces were gradually gaining strength. Once in an encounter with the Miao armed forces, they ran away, and most of the classmates were arrested and never found again. Xu Yunhua hid in the jungle alone and escaped pursuit.
She hid in a cave for three whole days, dizzy with hunger, and preferably passed out in the woods.
"It was Hu Shiyou who saved you?"
"Yes. At that time, there were more than 500 people in their tribe, and their power was okay. Later, I married Hu Shiyou. ”
"Is there anyone else in the family?"
"Yes, my parents and two older brothers ......" Speaking of this, Xu Yunhua silently wiped away his tears.
The witch hugged her and shed tears with her. "Sister Xu, your Miao Village will move to Banbahang and join the Longdai tribe, and life will gradually get better. In the future, you will have more chances to go home. During the Spring Festival this year, I will prepare your air ticket and luggage for you, and then call the embassy to arrange for you to go home to visit your parents! ”
Xu Yunhua looked forward to a bright future, and was so happy that he burst into tears when he heard this.
"In the same situation as you, there are six people who have fought in northern Myanmar for more than ten years, and this time they also joined the Long Dai tribe with us. When you arrive in Bambahang, you can come to work in the factory, we need people like you. ”
……
In the underground cave, Xu Tianyi and Yingya took a hot bath and ate something. The two of them were so tired that they even took a nap for ten minutes. I had something on my mind, and I soon woke up, and I was curious and anxious to see the file.
So Yu Songyuan and the others took them to the dock, got on a small boat, and rowed towards the secret cave on the opposite bank. Boarding the pier, Liu Guodong started the generator, illuminating the sandy beach as if it were day. Then, let the tribal warriors stand guard outside the gate before leading them into the snake cave.
Before entering the snake cave, Yu Songyuan had already reported the situation in the cave, and the two of them trembled in their hearts, but they still gritted their teeth and walked into the cold swishing cave.
The hibernating snake, although it has been cleaned aside by Lin Tao and Liu Guodong, the gloomy snake hole, the white bones, and the piles of black snakes still make the two women frightened. Even Xu Tianyi, who has seen the world, is still a woman in the end, looking at the piles of black things, she can't help but be frightened and tremble.
Lin Zhumin walked in front, and Liu Guodong was in the back. Xu Tianyi and Yingya both felt that their legs were weak, trembling, their knees were weak, and they couldn't move at all. Fortunately, it was dark in the cave, so they simply closed their eyes, grabbed Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao's backpacks tightly with both hands, and finally entered the vault.
Only then did the two women know what their weakness was. In fact, don't say that the two of them are women, just an ordinary man, who has to walk through thousands of black snakes and hundreds of tired bones, and it is strange if they are not afraid!
Liu Guodong entered the vault first and turned on the electric light, and the cave was immediately lit up.
Entering the vault, Xu Tianyi and Yingya's faces turned pale. "The people of country M are really perverted, damn it, it's disgusting to set up a warehouse in a snake hole." Yingya said, spitting out a few more mouthfuls of sour water. Xu Tianyi was the same, his face was pale, very uncomfortable, and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but want to vomit when he looked at it.
"Two good sisters, where are these little snakes, and what scares you even more has not yet been told to you. Now, do you want to know what's sitting under your buttocks? ”
Yu Songyuan wanted to quickly distract them, so he said deliberately. But the method he said was wrong, in fact, it scared them even more.
"Ah, what is it?!" The two of them screamed, as if they were scalded by boiling water, jumped high, and asked in surprise.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, nothing else. The box is full of all kinds of treasures! Yu Songyuan hurriedly opened a box, inside, all kinds of gold and silver handicrafts were dazzling, all kinds of rare treasures were ingenious and moving, and pearls and gems were dazzling and shining.
"Wow! Unbelievable, so many treasures......"
Yingya first forgot about her fear, and opened her beautiful little mouth wide in surprise. Women are born with a love of gold and silver jewelry, and the power of treasure is truly great. Xu Tianyi's eyes also widened, but soon, she recovered to the state of a strong woman and opened the other boxes one by one.
"Little things, you've done Naga a great favor this time! Our finances are tight, we can't make ends meet, and it is the time when we are most short of money, and these things come at the right time! Xu Tianyi said happily after reading a few boxes.
The vaults were inspected one by one, and the rich seizures surprised both of them. In addition to the excitement, the tension just now was completely relaxed, and the blood color returned to the faces of the two beautiful women.
