Chapter 118: Bragu
"Please believe me, and I believe that the law will give you a fair and just explanation!"
Liu Liwei continued to say slowly.
The woman lay on Boss Qiao and cried for three minutes, during which there was no movement in the entire temple except for her crying, and everyone seemed to be waiting in tacit agreement for what would happen next.
After the woman's crying stopped abruptly, she slowly turned around, and at this time, she looked at Liu Liwei again with a look that was not as sharp as before.
"You...... Do you want to know my story? His voice softened.
"I'll listen to what you want to say." Liu Liwei replied.
The woman took two steps forward, looked up at the roof of the ruined temple, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"He was right just now, I watched the brutes spoil my mother and beat him to death...... I just fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself lying in a strange place, and it was pitch black......
For a seven-year-old girl, this is a nightmare, all around is pitch black, her side is still rough stones, her body is very painful when she moves, she feels like she is in a big box, she cries "help!" Help me! ”
I don't know how long it took, she was hoarse, hungry and afraid, and soon countless little stars appeared in front of her, and at this moment, he heard footsteps gradually approaching. Perhaps the fear of death is an animal instinct! At this moment, she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.
Fear instantly permeated every pore of the body.
Listening to the sound of footsteps, someone walked up to the coffin, followed by the sound of prying the coffin lid.
"Click!"
With the light of sight, she saw the acne-covered man, and the man also looked at him, his eyes black as grapes.
Later, the man pulled him out of the coffin and closed the lid of the coffin, a series of actions that were done very lightly.
When the man was doing these things, she could see the man exactly as he was.
This is a tall and thin middle-aged man, with long loose hair, and his face is covered with large and small acne, which looks a little disgusting, but at this moment he doesn't feel scared at all.
After all this, the man only said "follow me", and then turned around and walked out of the broken temple.
She glanced at the other coffin, knowing that her mother was lying in it, the picture of her mother being beaten to death flashed through her mind again, and suddenly a painful feeling welled up, she hesitated, or thought that she should follow the man.
Out of the temple gate, she knew that it was already a waning day at this time. The red glow is in the western sky, and this picture is still imprinted in my mind, and it appears from time to time.
The tall man walked all the way to the pontoon bridge on the edge of the Yellow River, pointed to the hole in the pontoon bridge and said, "Go in."
As soon as he walked into the bridge cave, he saw a young man lying on the ground, convulsive, this was the first time he had seen Boss Joe.
The man gave her something to eat, and in the process of her gobbling up, told him that he knew everything that had happened today.
Soon night fell, and she curled up to one side, not daring to speak.
The man fed the lying Boss Qiao medicine several times, during which Boss Qiao said nonsense a few times, but she didn't remember what she said.
The man squatted on the other side and ate something, finally stood up and threw her a kettle, said "I'll be back before dawn, don't go out", and then turned around and walked out of the bridge.
After a short time, the man returned to the bridge and whispered to let her go out.
He took him to the bank of the Yellow River, hid in a dirt pit, and motioned for her not to make a sound.
Although she felt more frightened by curiosity, she didn't dare to ask or cry.
After waiting for a few minutes, she saw a boat rowing on the river, and by the light on the boat, she recognized several people on the boat from a distance, it was the beasts who killed her mother.
The men rowed the boat into the middle of the river, and then pushed a large red coffin into the river, followed by another, and the coffin entered the water with such a loud noise that he trembled all over his body, so that he was awakened by the sound countless times later in his sleep.
After she reacted, she wanted to cry loudly, but her mouth was covered by a pair of big hands, and in one of the coffins lay her mother, and in the other coffin she was supposed to be lying herself, even if she was only seven years old, she knew what was happening.
The group wanted to kill and destroy the body, and it was this tall man who saved her.
In the days that followed, he lived with this tall man in the bridge cave and lived a life of "not seeing the light of day".
The next day, Boss Qiao slowly woke up, and she realized that it was also a tall man who saved Boss Qiao who committed suicide by jumping into the river.
When he returned to the cave that night, Bragu asked her if she wanted to avenge her mother, and he nodded vigorously and burst into tears.
The man said that if he wanted to survive and take revenge, he would have to endure a severe pain, and after saying that, he took out a porcelain jar from one side. After opening the porcelain jar, a fishy smell came from inside, and then she saw several huge red centipedes and black spiders in the porcelain jar.
The man asked her if she was ready to endure the pain.
She nodded resolutely.
The man took out a wooden stick for her to hold in her mouth, then took out another black cloth and wrapped it around her eyes...... Next, she felt something furry crawl up her face, followed by an incredibly sharp pain that lasted for about half an hour.
During this period, she was soaked in sweat, and several times she almost wanted to scratch her face with her hands, but when she thought of her tragic mother, she instantly felt an incomparably powerful power welling up in her heart.
She didn't snort the whole time.
For the next half a month, her face was always covered with a cloth, and the man would not let her look at it.
Half a month later, the man brought him a mirror and told her that she could take off the cloth.
She saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, delicate and beautiful, and it was half a minute before she woke up from a dream, which turned out to be her own face.
The man told her that she had sunk to the bottom of the river with her mother, and that what she needed to do now was to endure and make herself strong.
She didn't seem to understand it, but she felt it made sense.
The man's name is Bragu, and he is a charlatan, and it wasn't until she got along for a long time that she learned that Bragu was from a certain Miao tribe on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and he was a Miao doctor before. The Miao people are divided into raw seedlings and mature seedlings, and his tribe belongs to Shengmiao, which is a tribe with strict rules and never deals with the outside world.
After getting acquainted with it, once Bragu inadvertently told her that he had been expelled from the tribe because he had peeked at the tribe's holy relics. The so-called holy relics are ancient scrolls that record the origins and untold secrets of the Miao people.
In the years that followed, Bulago would take him to the village across the river to pray during the day, and at night he would return to the bridge cave and force her to memorize a lot of things that she didn't understand at the time, and almost every night, Boss Joe would come to the bridge cave to learn things from Blagu.
Boss Qiao is very talented and works very hard, probably this is called "turning grief into strength"!
About two years later, Bulago no longer let Boss Joe come, nor did he take him to beg on the other side of the river, but contracted a large piece of wasteland by the river, and built a simple small house in the wasteland.
Bulago took her to reclaim the wasteland, and then planted fruit trees, because of the irrigation of the Yellow River, the fruit seedlings grew vigorously, and what was even more strange was that no matter how bad the insect plague was, there was never a single insect in their orchard.
Finally, she couldn't help but be curious, and she asked Bragu why.
Instead of explaining, Blagu took out a small dark brown porcelain bottle from her pocket, at first she didn't understand why Blagu did this, but after a few minutes, she understood, because there were dozens of snakes crawling around.
At this time, Bragu told her that this was their old Miao clan's Gu technique. If you know Gu art, you can control most bugs and animals.
Bragu told her that there are two people with very special identities in the old Miao tribe, one is the owner of the tribe, and the other is the Miao doctor of the tribe
In addition to treating diseases and saving people, Miao doctors also have superb Gu skills, which can give people Gu and solve Gu, and the reason why there is not a single insect in their orchard is because Bragu uses Gu magic to control snakes, frogs, lizards, etc. in the vicinity.
After that, she began to learn Gu arts.
Three or four years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Over the years, she found that Bragu often went to the ruined temple in the middle of the night, as if looking for something, and later, when she was a few years older, she guessed that maybe the secret of Bragu's ancestors was hidden near the ruined temple.
Sometimes she is also curious, there is nothing around the ruined temple except for a towering tree, could it be that the so-called secret is hidden underground?
This remains a mystery to this day!
Finally, one day, Bragu tells her that he is leaving, that he may never return, and that they may never see each other again.
This year, she was nineteen years old, which is the age when love first blossomed, in fact, she has long liked Bragu in her heart, but in the past twelve years, Bragu has always maintained a certain distance from her, treated her well, and cared about her very much, but there seems to be an invisible film between the two.
Before Bragu left, he called Boss Joe, and the three of them had dinner in the orchard's cottage.
At this time, Boss Qiao was already a well-known barefoot doctor in several nearby villages, and worked part-time to tell fortunes, exorcise evil spirits, call souls, and sometimes watch feng shui for others, which were taught to him by Bragu, in his eyes Bragu was not only his savior, but also his parents.
Both of them were reluctant to give up Bragu and begged him not to leave.
Bragu remained expressionless, telling them that they still had to continue to search for the secrets of their ancestors, which was a mission, and it had been determined that there were none in this area.
Both of them cried, but Bragu turned around and left resolutely, without even looking back, much to her heart's grief.
For decades afterward, all the impetus in her life was revenge, revenge, and revenge!
