Xiangxi is actually a very large area, known as "the throat of Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou".

Some places in northern Hunan belong to the scope of western Xiangxi, but a small number of famous ethnic groups are mainly Miao people and Tujia people.

Therefore, it is also known as the Miaojiang region, and the humid area makes it mostly full of snakes and insects.

Although I live in the Tujia group, but because the village where I live with my grandmother has been sinicized, I have only heard that Xiangxi is one of the birthplaces of Miao Gu and corpse culture.

Ma Erpo, who used to see things in the village, put a Miao suit in the cabinet after her death, because before the reform, the village had not been sinicized, and many of the older generation still lived and practiced Miao people.

But even now, I still have Miao nationality written on my ID card, and this is still Miao Autonomous Prefecture, but I haven't seen the real Miao girl.

The older generation once said that after liberation, there were still a small number of Gu poisonous grass ghost women and craftsmen who drove corpses.

They live in a cottage in the isolated mountains and old forests of the Miao Autonomous Prefecture.

And these two industries can be described as bizarre and mysterious.

But they all have their own unique rules, such as the Gu poison woman only accepts women, and if this woman has a Gu, she must be ordered, which is extremely demanding.

And the corpse chaser also asks a lot. Generally speaking, the youngest must be 16 years old, more than 1.7 meters tall, and there is a very special condition, the appearance must be ugly, the uglier the better, and they are not allowed to marry a wife.

Xiangxi was an important trade route in ancient times, and the two roads of Yunnan and Sichuan in the Ancient Tea Horse Road all passed through the realm of Xiangxi. Therefore, it was an important transportation hub for tea sellers in ancient times.

However, the mountain road in Xiangxi is rugged, the road is very difficult to walk, it can be said that the merchant is not as good as sitting on the Jia, but the big profit always makes many businessmen take this dangerous business road, and they also lose their lives for this. So there was a business to help those strangers who had died to return to their roots and transport their bodies back to their hometowns.

When the driver heard me say this, he smiled gloomily and said, "Why not, it's just that I won't let you see it, these craftsmen are ghostly." ”

The mountains here are dense and green, and the mountains are layered on top of each other, and the woods are cold and damp when the night darkens.

The driver's gloomy smile made me wary, and I frowned tentatively and asked, "Why haven't you arrived at the village yet?" ”

The driver grinned, "It's almost fast, it's just ahead." ”

In the past, I heard the older generation in the village say that when you are walking on a mountain road, a person or a car suddenly appears, and then guides you, so you must not follow.

for they take you to the place where they died.

I chuckled inwardly.

It suddenly occurred to me that after I made a phone call with Zhong Bai, the driver suddenly appeared when I took out the photo to look at it, and it stands to reason that I should at least hear the sound of the car first.

However, the car and the driver appeared in front of me as if out of thin air.

It can't be such a coincidence that I bumped into this ghost thing again?

I looked in the rearview mirror.

There is no change in this driver.

But by this time it was already dark, and I couldn't see clearly in the forest, so I took out my luggage and tried to get something from it, but my eyes flickered and I saw the jar leaning against me.

Inside is paprika.

My face remained unchanged, and while looking at the driver, I reached out and grabbed a handful and put it behind me, and then said to the driver, "Master, there is a bug behind you." ”

The driver was taken aback, immediately braked, and when he turned around, he reached out and grabbed his back. As soon as he turned around, I sprinkled the chili powder on his face.
