Chapter 168: The Secret of Old Miao Village
"You...... Are you Bragu? ”
This name is like a bomb, it bloomed in my mind, and I think Liu Liwei should feel the same way as me at this moment.
Everyone looked at me, and Bragu turned his ear to me.
"Why, you've heard my name?"
"Heard! I've heard of it! ”
I trembled and told my experience in Niutou Village, Zhanhua County, and Liu Liwei added several times where I couldn't say it completely.
When he had finished speaking, the old man fell silent, and he turned and faced the lake motionlessly.
It took at least three minutes before he slowly spoke: "Look how quiet this lake is! ”
These three minutes made me feel longer than the usual three hours, my palms were sweaty and slimy, and other people might be like me, I didn't know what to say, so I just stayed with him in silence.
I thought he would be very sad, at least he would say a few sad words! Who would have thought that such a sentence would suddenly pop up.
After saying that, Bragu slowly stood up and staggered towards his place.
Looking at the way he walked, he seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden.
A few of us glanced at each other and quickly followed.
In fact, at this moment, I actually wanted to persuade him, but I didn't know how to speak.
More than a dozen people were a little crowded in the slit where he lived, and the key was that this way to this place could be described as a hardship, and everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and even more hungry.
On the way, we eat compressed bread and ham sausage, this kind of food is eaten once in a while, and I think it is very fragrant, but it makes you eat it for two days in a row, and it is estimated that anyone will have enough in the case of long-distance travel and extreme physical strength.
Unable to see the change in Bragu's expression, the old man's words suddenly increased after he sat down on the stone he was familiar with.
"What's your name, young man?"
"Liu Ludong, Wendao Liu, Lu of Qilu, Dong of Shandong."
"Oh, how old are you?"
"Twenty-two."
"Come here, let me touch your hand......"
I was stunned, this statement is easy to be ambiguous. If a man says this to a woman, it is not a legitimate relationship between men and women, it must be a hooligan, and if it is two people of the same age and sex, others will definitely mistake it for a pair of friends.
I also felt weird, why should I touch my hand!
After a little struggle, I got up and walked over.
Bragu's fingers were so long, especially my index finger, that he touched from my fingers to my wrists, pinching them as he went, and they were so hard that they hurt so much that I wanted to break free.
After touching it for a full minute, his mouth grinned, and I knew he was laughing, but to tell the truth, it was worse than crying.
"You're a natural Gu Disciple! Probably...... I guess I have my own arrangement! ”
What do you mean by all of a sudden I hear it as a "gambler"? I was confused.
"Old ......"
I was about to ask, when he suddenly raised his left hand and covered my mouth.
"Hmm-"
With a spicy taste, I felt a slippery thing burrow down my esophagus into my stomach, this thing was alive, this terrible feeling is hard to describe in words.
I subconsciously went to break his hand, who knew that after trying twice, I didn't break it, I scolded in my heart, and at the same time I was very emotional, this old guy looked skinny, why was he so strong?
The third time, just as he was trying to make a lot of effort, the old man let go of his hand.
"You...... What did you put in my mouth? ”
After yelling, he quickly bent down and vomited.
At this moment, it didn't matter if his hands were dirty or not, after retching a few times, he also learned the bridge in the TV series, put his index finger in his mouth and picked his throat.
"Don't waste your efforts, it's useless?"
Your mother's ...... I just wanted to get my hands dirty and hit Bragu.
"What the hell put in my mouth?"
Bragu actually stretched his waist and yawned, looking very relaxed.
"Confidentiality for the time being. You'll have to thank me in the future! It's a treasure, and you can't buy it for any amount of money. ”
A few other people also came around, only to see me lying on the ground and vomiting, thinking that something had happened to me.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Dong, are you okay?"
I continued to retch a few times, and sure enough, I didn't vomit anything, so I told me what had just happened.
A few of the others looked at me, and then at Bragu, as if they weren't quite convinced.
In the end, Yang Jianqiang actually patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Bu is playing with you!" After that, he winked at me.
"Brother Dong, the old man has lived here alone for more than 20 years, and it is not easy to be lively once, you are also generous!" Han Jianjian persuaded me in all seriousness.
"I ...... You ......"
I pointed at him, and for a moment I didn't know what to say, I just wanted to scold.
Liu Liwei also advised me: "Okay, brother! Let's get down to business! ”
I forcibly suppressed the anger in my heart and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”
"Let's come to the underground space, it's been three days and two nights, and we haven't had a meal yet, I just saw a fish in the river, it's not small, let's catch a few, so that Bu Lao can try it."
While listening to him, I touched my stomach and didn't feel unusual, this time I was a little relieved, and after thinking about it, he shouldn't hurt me if he was not wronged or vengeful.
"Okay!"
Liu Liwei took Han Jianli and me to catch fish, and Yang Jianqiang took two special police officers to stay behind to help Bragu clean up his residence.
As soon as he went out, Han Jianli shrunk his neck: "There are no copper-headed Arhats or the kind of bugs that can get into people's flesh in the water, right?" ”
Liu Liwei shook his head: "I have paid attention to and observed along the way, these two underground rivers are not connected, and this water is obviously much shallower, there will not be such big fish, as for that kind of bug!" To be on the safe side, if we don't go into the water, we should be fine! ”
He smiled at me.
Only then did I react, no wonder I was called, it turned out that I was asked to go into the water to catch fish.
The river was really not deep, so we found a few sticks and sharpened one end, and I imagined how people in primitive societies fished.
Standing motionless in the water, less than two minutes later, I saw a large white fish swimming leisurely past me.
I glanced at it a few times, thrust it down violently, just caught the first fish and threw it on the shore, Han Jianjian picked it up excitedly and weighed it: "Brother Dong, this one is five catties, you can really do it!" ”
"Not me! It's that the fish here are too bad, you haven't seen it so that it's not afraid of people at all! ”
Liu Liwei smiled: "Because they haven't seen people, they don't know how terrible we humans are, but this is the original nature!" ”
Han Jianjian hugged the fish and asked us, "What kind of fish is this!" Why don't you have eyes? ”
Hearing him say this, I also noticed that the fish was translucent, and the internal organs and bones could be seen vaguely, and the eyes showed a bulge the size of a mung bean grain.
Sure enough, there were no eyes.
Liu Liwei explained: "It's not that there are no eyes, but that generations have lived deep underground, because there is no light, the eyes have degenerated. ”
In less than half an hour, I caught more than a dozen in one go, and Han Jianjian strung them with a nylon rope and barely lifted them.
"Brother Dong, viagra, I've seen enough, we can't eat any more, the temperature here is high, and there is no refrigerator!"
The three men took out their daggers, picked up the fish at the water's edge, and carried them back to the cave.
On the way back, I was still panicking: there was enough fish to eat, but there was no cooking utensils! Before, Bragu used a small bronze pot to cook, at most enough for two people, but there were more than a dozen of us......
Who would have thought that from afar, he would see Yang Huiling wiping a big copper pot, which is worthy of the big iron pot of steamed steamed buns in the village.
"Yo! Such a big brass drum? Where did it come from? Liu Liwei asked suspiciously.
Yang Huiling smiled at us and pointed to the other side of the mountain: "There are so many over there, and there are bigger ones than this." ”
Over there?
Following her fingers, I faintly heard someone talking, and with my extraordinary hearing, I could clearly hear the voices of Mr. Wu and Ma Huadong.
"I'll take a look!" With that, I lowered the rope and walked towards the place where the two of them were talking.
Circumventing the peak, there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
There is a big pit half a meter deep, the area is as big as two or three basketball courts, there are some buildings piled up with stones, some are crooked, some have collapsed, and there are a piece of bronze of different sizes scattered on the ground, the big one is one person high, and there are also the size of teapots and bowls, and it is a patina green as far as the eye can see.
The two old men squatted in front of a few bronzes, their faces flushed, and they couldn't hear what they were arguing about.
I walked over and shouted several times before they turned to see me.
"Little brother, why are you walking silently! Scared me. ”
"Yes! When did it come? ”
"I'm ......," I shook off the scales from my hands, a little speechless, "just here!" The two professors are arguing! ”
Teacher Wu's face was still pale, and he smiled bitterly: "Where is the noise, at most...... At best, it's a discussion. ”
"What are you two talking about?"
Ma Huadong replied: "What do you think this place is? ”
I glanced around again and replied, "It seems to be an ancient place to put bronzes!" ”
The two old men shook their heads together.
"You'd be wrong!" Ma Huadong pointed to the stone platform closest to me, "Can you tell what this thing is?" ”
"It looks like a building! It's collapsed and unrecognizable. ”
Ma Huadong smiled slightly, pointed to the rocks on one side and said, "Don't you see that at least one of these stones is black?" And there are obvious traces of being grilled by fire. ”
Sure enough, I took one look and nodded.
Ma Huadong continued: "This should be the furnace for smelting bronze at that time, we just roughly counted, there are nine in this place, which means that this place was once a smelter, and all the bronzes were smelted here. ”
I see!
"Now that you've all seen it, why are you still arguing?"
Teacher Wu immediately corrected: "We are an academic inquiry, not a quarrel. ”
Ma Huadong continued: "That's it! When discussing the age of these bronzes, I think it is the Shang Dynasty, and Lao Wu thinks it is earlier. ”
"At least at the beginning of the Xia Dynasty!" Teacher Wu added.
Saying that the two of them were going to quarrel again, I hurriedly waved my hand: "Both, this is not the time to discuss, I think it's better to go back and have a full meal first!" I have the strength to continue arguing! ”
Before returning to the slit, Liu Liwei and the two special police officers had already set up a simple stove and were preparing firewood.
Fortunately, there was only one person in this place, and there was a layer of dead branches and rotten leaves under the big tree.
Yang Huiling poured water into the big copper pot and asked me with a smile, "How do you feel about your body?" ”
I rolled up my sleeves and did the muscle-flexing gesture that Hercules usually does, and replied, "I'm back full of blood!" ”
This is actually true, since coming down from the tree, I feel that my physical strength has almost recovered, and I didn't feel tired after standing in the water for half an hour just now.
It seems that he still responds to the words of the old ancestor, "The young man sleeps on a cold kang, and he is strong by firepower."
"By the way, why did you fall on the ground and vomit just now, what did the old man really stuff into your mouth?"
When he said this, I don't know if it was my psychological effect, but I felt something in my stomach squirm a few times.
I touched my stomach and replied, "This is still fake!" It feels like a bug...... I also wonder that by the time I reacted, it had already gotten into my stomach......"
Before I finished speaking, I heard a hoarse laugh from the gap: "In the future, you kid will know how much you have earned!" ”
When I looked up, I saw Bragu walking out slowly.
I'm still angry with him, so I don't bother to deal with him.
In a large pot of water, Liu Liwei chopped the fish into pieces on the stone with a dagger, threw it into the pot, and then sprinkled some seasoning, what surprised me was that Bragu actually had green onions and garlic, and it looked very fresh.
After everything was done, Yang Huiling and I went to the smelter just now to find a dozen or so copper bowls, and it didn't matter if it was dirty or not at this moment.
The fish is very well cooked, and after the two are boiled, it is already fragrant.
We sat on the floor, foaming at the mouth.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think of Wu Jinghan, thinking that she was lying alone in the red coffin at the moment, and I didn't know if it was really as Bragu said, when his Gu worms were cultivated, he could save Wu Jinghan.
"Old man, what kind of fish is this? It looks like both a crucian carp and a red carp, and the crucian carp should not be so big. Han Jianjian asked Bragu as he gobbled it up.
Bragu seemed to be in a good mood at this time, explaining: "This fish is only found in this river, and it is absolutely not seen anywhere else, so I call it 'snow fish'." ”
Han Jianli nodded, took two bites and asked, "Old man, ...... you You shouldn't have just arrived...... Just be blind! ”
Liu Liwei on the side kicked Han Jianjian and roared: "Can you pay attention to what you kid says!" ”
Bragu smiled hoarsely, "It's okay! I've been here for half a month...... In retrospect, it was a nightmare! ”
These words attracted Ma Huadong, who put down the bronze bowl in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything more terrifying here, or something?" ”
Bragu also put the bronze bowl to the side, wiped the scraps from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.
"Do you know what is the secret of the ancestral animal skin silk book in our village?"
These words attracted everyone, and they all stopped chewing.
"If you can, I'd love to hear from the old man!" Ma Huadong replied.
Gulagu's expression suddenly became solemn.
