The people in Xiangxi are fierce, and the clans are relatively united, many times in order to grab water and land, or the family in the short grudge disputes, will do it, and this action, that is, the whole village of men, women and children are mobilized, take the hoe to take the hoe, take the plow to climb the plow.

Good guys, it's like rushing to the market, it's called a lively.

Don't think it's a joke, don't say anything else, the last time the little carpenter followed the master to work on the Phoenix side, I saw three fights of this scale, and two times there were deaths, if it weren't for the soldiers stationed in the Phoenix Guard, it is estimated that it would have made a bigger fuss.

Speaking of which, many people may not be convinced.

But in fact, the folk customs in Xiangxi and even the entire Miaojiang area are very strong, and very backward, and many people regard life and death as nothing, which is famous.

Otherwise, how would the army choose such a place to be the source of soldiers?

There is no army without Xiang, this sentence has been verified in the most chaotic period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The little carpenter and his party stood on the top of the hill, and saw two or three hundred men fighting and dying there, and they did not know what it was for, but for about a quarter of an hour they heard the sound of a gong, and heard a shout from afar that they were dead, and a group of them retreated, and scattered like a tide to the south.

In a short time, they scattered into the forest and disappeared.

On the other side, the victorious side gathered in an open field, where a man lay and a pool of blood was lying underneath.

The people around were singing, dancing and cheering loudly.

There was a strong shirtless man, who touched a pig-killing knife, walked up to the dead man, opened his chest, pulled it with a stroke, and then cut off a bloody human liver and sent it to his mouth.

The people next to him shouted and cheered for him.

Then the gang stripped the dead man of his clothes, stripped him naked, bled him, and carried him down.

Seeing this scene, Qu Menghu looked frightened, and said that these guys are still eating people?

Luo Fugui seemed very calm, saying that here in Xiangxi, the folk customs are like this - they eat people's hearts and livers, not to satisfy their stomachs, but to show their martial bravery, of course, there are also people who believe in witchcraft and feel that everything has a spirit and can get strength from it.

Even with this explanation, Qu Menghu, who has received a Western-style education, is still a little difficult to understand, after all, even if he is in eastern Sichuan, he is a large family, and later traveled everywhere and experienced the baptism of "civilization".

But even then, he couldn't stop anything.

After seeing this, Qu Menghu told everyone that when he saw the tiger, that guy mixed in the crowd, and the person who was killed was done by this guy.

And Zhang Qiming and his entourage were on the hill over there, with a few bad old men.

Those bad old men should be the village elders of the crowd here.

That guy is really like a plague, wherever he goes, there is calamity.

A few people hesitated, and at this time, this large group of people were running upstream of the river, they had to follow, walked for half an hour, and came to a village surrounded by mountains and rivers, which was very lively, and actually set up a banquet, Luo Fugui thought for a while, and said to Qu Menghu and the little carpenter: "There are a lot of ripe seedlings there, I and Baolan went in to find out the news, and you are waiting outside." ”

The little carpenter was a little worried, and said Brother Luo, is it really okay?

Luo Fugui grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said that when I rushed to Sandaokan Town before, I rested in this village for a day, and if there are people I know, as long as I avoid that guy from the tiger, nothing will happen.

He is the kind of person who is very confident and gives people a very strong sense of trust, so since he said so, the little carpenter and Qu Menghu no longer dissuaded him.

As for Baolan, this Miao girl is a bold girl, not at all as timid as a country girl, and she doesn't care at all.

After the two left, the little carpenter and Qu Menghu hid in the woods, just watching from a distance, Qu Menghu saw that the little carpenter had been staring at Baolan's back, and couldn't help but tease: "What, do you like this little girl?" ”

The little carpenter shook his head and said no, how could it be, I have a target - I just think this girl is a little not simple.

Qu Menghu pursed his lips and said Of course, he could easily catch Boss Luo's altar snake, how could this woman be simple? Like her, the Miao people are generally called "grass ghost women", and they are all very terrifying and powerful people - not to mention her, by the way, you say you have a partner? How do I not know about this, who she is, how old she is, what she looks like, and where she is from?

His series of questions made the little carpenter a little embarrassed.

The little carpenter scratched his head and said that I had never seen it, and the master said that he was engaged to someone, and he also gave a piece of gluttonous black jade to people as a token, and when I was eighteen years old, he asked me to go to Daxue Mountain to propose marriage...... But now that Master's whereabouts are nowhere to be found, I don't know if it can be counted.

Qu Menghu couldn't help laughing, and said that your master ordered it for you, you haven't seen anyone, so how can you do it? If that girl is a black fat man, eat and chirp, don't wash her feet, have stinky feet, and have fox odor and constipation, and is a lazy woman, are you willing to do it?

The little carpenter didn't believe it and said it was impossible, my master wouldn't harm me.

Qu Menghu gloated, saying that he wouldn't harm you, but he might not have seen the girl's current appearance, if it really grows crooked, what will you do for the rest of your life?

He kept making fun of the little carpenter, which made the little carpenter's mood become low.

Gan Shisan closed his eyes and thought, if it was really a dark and fat earth girl, what should he do?

The little lady is very kind, there is no chance in this life, I am Gan Thirteen only to be a cow and a horse in the next life?

This......

He was worried and apprehensive, and after a while, he thought about it: Now that the master is gone, what do you want about your daughter-in-law?

Time passed unconsciously in this chatter, and in the afternoon, Luo Fugui and Baolan came back full of wine and food, not only that, but also with a guy who was tied up tightly and had his eyes and mouth covered.

Although he was firmly tied, Qu Menghu could still tell that this guy was the one who went to Luo Fugui's hometown to withdraw money before.

He saw that Luo Fugui's lips were still shiny, obviously mixing a meal in that village, and couldn't help but have a bad association, and asked, "You won't eat human flesh too, will you?" ”

Luo Fugui glared at him and said Fart! They took a wild boar two days ago, ate a little, and today they got it all out and cooked it, and I shared a little of it.

The little carpenter was more concerned about the man they had caught, and asked, "What is this ......?"

Luo Fugui said that it was a coincidence, he bumped into him halfway, so he intercepted him, let's go, let's find a safe place and interrogate this guy.

Touching the tongue, all the previous doubts may be solved, and there is no need to be as dazed as moving forward in the fog, so a few people did not dare to slack off, and escorted the guy to the mountain.

After a while, they found a cave in the mountain, the entrance of which was narrow enough for only one person, and it was covered by bushes, which was very secret.

Luo Fugui went in, and after making sure that there were no snakes and insects or anything like that, he placed the person properly, and then took out the blindfolded cloth strips and gag things.

The man's ears were not blocked, and he almost heard the identities of these people along the way.

He clenched his mouth tightly and did not speak, but his teeth kept chattering.

Boom, Boom, Boom......

Qu Menghu found firewood and lit it with a fire breaker, so that there was light in the cave.

Luo Fugui stood behind the man and discussed with Baolan next to him: "You give him some stimulation and let him stop telling lies?" ”

Baolan hesitated a little and said goodbye, I don't have anything, so you should come.

The two pushed each other, and Luo Fugui saw that Baolan was so persistent, and finally didn't say more, and said: "I'll come, I'll come......"

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, but the meat ticket that was already trembling immediately said in a panic: "Big brothers and sisters, what do you want to know, I, Zhang Donkey, must know everything, say everything, and never dare to deceive you, just ask you not to kill me, leave me a dog's life, leave me a dog's life......"

When he said this, his whole body was trembling, and the beads of sweat on his face were as big as soybeans. The flames next to him jumped, outlining his terrified face.

Obviously, when he was arrested just now, he knew Luo Fugui's methods.

Even so, Luo Fugui still insisted on getting the turquoise altar snake out, swimming past the back of the guy who called himself Zhang Donkey, and finally coiled it around his neck, and then said slowly: "Okay, you know what we do......

Zhang Donkey fell to his knees and said Big brother, I was wrong, I would have known that the person who opened the pharmacy had your relationship, and I didn't dare to do harm if I was killed.

Luo Fugui pointed to the little carpenter next to him and said, "Did I say this?" You open the dog's eyes and see who he is. ”

Zhang Donkey glanced at the little carpenter, and lowered his head again.

Luo Fugui said slowly: "Do you know? ”

Zhang Donkey didn't dare to hide it, and said that he knew the apprentice of my master's former senior brother, Gan Shisan.

The little carpenter was a little surprised, and said You have seen me?

Zhang Donkey said: "I went to help the tiger to keep an eye on the tiger before, and I also helped to intercept the letter from the postman. ”

Luo Fugui snorted, and said that they were all acquaintances, so let's put it bluntly, Master of Thirteen, where is it now, hurry up and say, my family altar snake can know if you are lying, if you dare to talk nonsense, I won't have time to save you if it comes down.

Zhang Donkey hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "My uncle, it is possible to be there now...... In the tomb of King Miao. ”
