The two girls "hijacked" me to the table in the middle, folded their hands in front of their chests, and bowed down to signal me to sit down.

While bending down and sitting down, I noticed not only the various Gu worms on the table, but also the material of this large table, let's put it simply! It's a kind of mahogany with a dark sheen, and you can tell at a glance that the wood is very dense, and the word "mahogany" pops up in my head.

Mahogany is a high-end and precious furniture material in China, which is produced in tropical areas, leguminous and pterocarpus plants.

Originally, it referred to red hardwoods, and there were many varieties; After the eighties of the last century, people's demand for rosewood is increasing, the industry urgently needs to be standardized, the state has standardized the rosewood according to the density and other indicators, and the rosewood is standardized as: two families, five genera, eight categories, and twenty-nine species.

Mahogany because of slow growth, hard material, growth period is more than several hundred years, a lot of mahogany native to the south of our country, as early as the Ming and Qing dynasties were cut down very little, today's mahogany, most of them are produced in Southeast Asia, Africa, China's Guangdong, Yunnan have cultivation and cultivation and introduction of cultivation.

In a nutshell: in today's world, mahogany furniture is very rare and precious.

Looking at the table in front of me, it is square, the width is one and a half meters, and the thickness of the table top is about 30 centimeters, you can see that the whole table top is made of a piece of wood, I can't believe how big this wood is! How thick the tree used to make the tabletop had to be.

On the table were four plates and a large bowl containing leeches, silkworms, scorpions, and an unnamed insect, and in the large bowl was soup, and several maggots could be seen levitating.

There is also a crystal clear cup on the side, which looks like jade, about the same size as the cup used in ordinary restaurants, and inside is most of the cup of blood-red liquid, which looks like blood.

I forcibly restrained the feeling of gagging and asked my grandmother, who had been following me with my eyes.

The corners of Ah Mu's mouth raised slightly, and her skin like old bark trembled slightly: "This is a good thing, baby!" After eating this, the man has the strength - this cup is ambergris, which can only be drunk in our village once every three years, and only the chosen, men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five, have the right to drink. ”

Ambergris blood?

Could it be related to ambergris! On second thought, this is not! Ambergris, also known as gray amber in the West, is a solid wax-like flammable substance with a dark or black appearance, produced by intestinal obstruction of the whale's digestive system.

This is located inland, where do whales come from, the key is that I have never heard of the special effect of whale blood.

A lot of people stared at me and were too embarrassed to ask, so they put this question behind me for the time being, but if I was asked to eat these worms and drink this cup of blood of unknown origin, I really couldn't do it.

In fact, since stepping into this strange valley, there has always been a strange feeling in my heart, especially when I entered that temple, everything I experienced can be described as weird.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I also have an awkward feeling when I look at Han Jianli this time, as if there is a sudden estrangement.

But at this moment, I fully believe Han Jianjian's words - there are treasures in this valley. If nothing else, let's just say that the table and cup in front of me are worth some money.

"You are the new owner of the cottage, you should abide by the rules of the cottage, and these are all treasures in the village, how can you waste it!" I was choked by a momentary speech, so I had to hold my breath, pretending to be calm and scooping up a few silkworms with a metal spoon on the side and putting them in my mouth, and quickly picked up the jade cup, and swallowed the liquid in the cup in two or three sips.

Unexpectedly, the liquid entered the abdomen from the esophagus with the food, not only did it not smell bad, but mixed with a faint fragrance that could not be named.

Oh no, I'm poisoned!

As soon as this idea came to me, who would have thought that not only did not feel uncomfortable, but felt very comfortable, how to say this feeling, it was like taking a bath and sleeping beautifully.

I just feel refreshed and breathing smoothly.

On second thought, although it is not clear for the time being what they are doing this, they should not poison me, because if they want to kill me, they don't need to go to such trouble.

Suffice it to say, I was confused. Huaxia Library

Why does the stone statue in the temple look so similar to me?

What does the text on the stone tablet of the largest stilted building say?

Is it true that every few decades, there is a person in the village who looks exactly like me? The people in the stockade call him the master, but what is the reason for this?

Amid the noise of everyone eating and drinking, my thoughts were a little messy.

The "food" on the table was quickly eaten up, and almost all of them had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces, and I also noticed that when these people were eating, the young women ate first, then the older women, and finally the men.

At this time, the plates and bowls were almost empty, and several men, with greedy expressions on their faces, were licking the plates very carefully.

I was sick again.

It reminds me of the matriarchal society documented in the history books.

Because of the influence of the labor methods of the time, women who were better at picking and having children became the main labor force, and their status was also higher.

Could it be that this village is still in a matriarchal society?

I also noticed that when they were eating, sometimes they communicated in Chinese, sometimes in a language I didn't understand, which should be Hmong. That's when I thought about it.

The people of the Worm Bowl Miao Village seem to have mastered two languages, one is their own dialect and the other is broken Mandarin.

It's so similar to the local dialect of our estuary that I don't sound awkward.

I feel that the ambergris blood in my mother's mouth does not have a pungent bloody taste, and it is very comfortable to drink in my stomach, and the silkworms that are slightly larger than the common cocoons are not unpalatable, and there seems to be the taste of roasted quail eggs.

As soon as I drank it all, the girl who had been standing behind me immediately fell on top.

Since there was no danger, and besides, I was really hungry, and seeing that others were eating so deliciously, I couldn't help but eat more than a dozen silkworms and drink two cups of ambergris blood.

"What's wrong with Xiao He and Xiao Wu?"

"It's water and not wine, how can you get drunk!"

The voices of Hao Minyuan and Teacher Feng came from my ears.

Not good!

The sixth feeling made me tremble, and I hurriedly looked towards the voice, and saw Hao Minyuan and Teacher Feng bending over, while Xiao He and Wu Yuhui were lying on the table, both of them motionless.

Hurriedly walked over and picked up Wu Yuhui first, at this time her face was flushed, but she was breathing evenly, and she really looked like she was drunk.

Looking at Xiao He again, it's the same.

Now I was anxious, and shouted to my mother behind me: "You guys...... What are you doing to my friends?
