Xiangxi

Northwest of Luxi County

"Blood...... Blood! ”

When he opened the blade of grass and saw the whites of the woman's eyes with blue lips glowing with blood red, he called out in a daze, Brother Bai shouted, "Ghost", and hurriedly turned around and fled, not caring about the cold stream, until he was slipped by a bluestone on the opposite bank before he stopped, and couldn't help panting and looking back.

I saw that the female ghost had crawled out of the grass, dragged her body and slowly moved over, and shouted in a trembling voice:

"Huh...... Save...... Help ......"

Brother Bai said lightly: "What kind of ghost can also call for help?" Then he realized what kind of ghost this was, and hurriedly turned back again.

I saw the woman take out a handful of grass blades from the small bag around her waist, stuff them into her mouth and chew them violently, swallow the juice, spit out the residual leaves back into her hands, and tried to pull off her clothes, but her arms couldn't exert any strength...... Shoulders ......"

Brother Bai was a little panicked for a while after approaching, and when he heard what the woman said, he hurriedly squatted down and carefully pulled the clothes on his shoulders, the contrast between Bai Temporary's skin and bruised complexion was very stark, and then there were obviously two black spots on the shoulders, and there was still a little blood left around.

Snake bites!

Thinking of a small snake scurrying out of the bush just now, this is related. The woman struggled to pat the chewed blade of grass on her shoulder, but Brother Bai hurriedly stepped forward to take the blade of grass, gently rubbed it in his palm and slowly covered the wound of the snake's teeth, and then said softly: "Little girl, rest for a while......

"Instant Allah......"

The woman said a language that Brother Bai didn't understand, looking at the clothes, it should be an ethnic minority of this generation, Brother Bai didn't ask much, anyway, there was no signal on the mobile phone, and the army was far away, so she simply waited quietly.

The herb was very effective, and after a while the woman was able to get up, and the discoloration of her face and pupils had faded a lot.

"Little girl, can you understand Chinese?" Brother Bai asked tentatively.

Who knew that the little girl couldn't help but laugh out loud and responded: "Of course you can-" and then remembered something and hurriedly explained: "I said Miao in a daze just now, don't mind big brother." ”

"Oh?" Brother Bai was curious: "Are you from the Miao nationality?" ”

The little girl nodded and said, "Big brother, you can just call me Aliu, which means 'butterfly' in Miao language." ”

"Aliu, butterfly...... Good name"

Brother Bai praised with a smile, then looked around and asked, "Aliu, how can you be in this barren mountain and wilderness, how dangerous is a girl's house?" ”

"My family walked five miles from here, and I usually go here to pick some wild fruits and herbs, and today the bamboo leaves fell from the tree, if you are not here, it will be troublesome." Aliu said it very easily, obviously encountering this kind of thing a lot.

"Big brother, are you alone? You don't look like a local. ”

"Ahh Brother Bai lied.

"Big brother is really powerful, at first glance, he is knowledgeable and talented, unlike me, a countryman who has never seen the world." Aleuus said, then looked back and continued. "The sun is setting, it's not early, and the town with a guest house in front is not close, so let's hurry up, big brother. Later, the insects should come out. ”

Brother Bai let out an "oh" with some disappointment, and was about to turn around, only to see Aliu get up unsteadily and fall to the ground, and hurriedly went over to support him, only to feel warm and soft to the touch, and his heart couldn't help but be a little rippling.

"Thank you, big brother." Aliu leaned beside Brother Bai and smiled bitterly: "It is estimated that it will take a while for the medicinal power to completely dissolve the snake venom." ”

"That's the problem, it's already dark, I can't leave you here alone." Brother Bai said anxiously.

"Or—" Aliuloga pondered, "Big brother should go to my house, so that we can take care of each other, it just so happens that my grandmother will not come back until the day after tomorrow, and there is a place to live." ”

"No...... Not so convenient, right? Brother Bai asked embarrassedly.

Aliu covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You Han people are really troublesome, what's inconvenient for people in the deep mountains?" The eldest brother doesn't dislike the simplicity of the family. ”

"This ...... How can this be, how can I care about those little sections? Brother Bai scratched his nose and said. Then let's hurry up, do you have anything to eat at home, I'm a little hungry. ”

Aliu smiled again and said: "Our Miao territory is not picky eaters, there is wine, meat and insects, it depends on your guts, Brother Bai." ”

"I ...... What haven't I seen? When the time comes, just say hello. ”

Although I have eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, I can't help but feel furious when I hear "there are insects", but how can a beautiful woman be timid here?

It's just that he finally miscalculated one step, this five miles of Xiangxi is no better than the plain terrain, the rugged mountain road has just reached the halfway point, and Brother Bai is so tired that he can't take a step anymore, sitting on a rock and panting.

Seeing that the little girl was already able to walk freely, she was very happy to be bouncing around on the mountain path, and couldn't help urging:

"Big brother, hurry up, the insects and beasts will come out in a while, and it will be uncomfortable."

"Hey-good-" Brother Bai couldn't stop patting his hands around, and muttered, "This stinky mosquito has long been competing with me, this sin is ...... I'll have to ask this little girl for it later, hehe......"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Aliu suddenly bend down and hide behind the rocks, revealing his eyes and leaning into the cracks in the grass and whispering, "Big brother, hide quickly-"

Brother Bai let out a suspicious "ah", and seeing that Ah Liu couldn't help but greet him, he also came to his side and looked in the same direction carefully.

"Suzu-Suzu-"

"Bang-Bang-Bang"

"Click-click-click-"

After a while, there seemed to be something close not far away, with copper bells, gongs and footsteps, which was very rhythmic. But the sky is already dark, how can anyone who is blinded by the black lights around him see anything clearly?

"What's that?"

"Shhhh

Brother Bai was about to ask, but Aliu made a "whispered" gesture.

"Whoa—whoa—"

Not far away, the sound of grass trampling on the blades of grass beside another trail continued, and it seemed that many people were passing by.

"Running into the mountains so late to explore? I don't know how to turn on the light,......" Brother Bai said secretly in his heart.

"Suzu-Suzu-"

"Bang-Bang-Bang"

Through the moonlight through the forest, you can vaguely see that a group of people are marching very neatly, shaking a bell for the leader and beating the gong in his hand from time to time......

Hop on your feet together!
