Xiangxi

On a forest trail, it's nightfall

"Suzu-Suzu-"

"Bang-Bang-Bang"

A group of people came from not far away......

"This ...... This is! ”

"Shhhh

Brother Bai, who was crouching beside the bush, was surprised, the leader of this team was holding a bell in one hand and a gong in the other, shaking and hitting it rhythmically, and the people behind him were lined up in a neat line, jumping up and down with the rhythm of the sound......

On the side, Aliu tugged at his arm to signal, and the former leaned out half of his body and hurriedly retracted.

The sound of the bell and gong went away unhurriedly, and the two of them crawled out, and Brother Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Is that team of people - driving corpses?" Seeing that Aliu nodded in confirmation, Brother Bai asked anxiously: "Isn't chasing corpses a show in Xiangxi?" Isn't it a living person? Who is it for this big night? ”

Aliu shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, Grandma has told me since I was a child that when I encounter a corpse team in the mountains, I must stay away and not be disturbed." And...... When someone dies in the village, it's the 'corpse maker' who collects it. After Aliu finished speaking, he asked very suspiciously, "Big brother, are you scared?" ”

"How so?!" Brother Bai hurriedly stood up, puffed up his chest, put on a posture and said, "I will watch any god or ghost, I will watch it as a comedy." ”

Seeing this, Aliu smiled and said, "Big brother, you are really interesting to speak, I know how you can be afraid when you know so much?" ”

It's strange to say, Brother Bai, who was supposed to walk for a while and rest for a while, didn't stop at all in the last half of the race, which was a few points faster than the flat ground.

After walking for more than an hour, when we reached a corner, the narrow mountain road suddenly became clear, and the vegetation on both sides of the road and on the mountains gradually thinned. The moonlight is shining on the surrounding mountain walls, and the refracted light reflects the area clearly.

I saw not far away a five-pillar and eight-hanging bucket-type hanging house building is located not far away, perched against the mountain.

"That's my home!" Aliu took Brother Bai to the corner of the house, and the former put his hand in his ear and shouted: "Check the time to burn——! ”

Brother Bai was shocked and asked, "Is there anyone in your family?" ”

Aliu said with a smile while opening the door: "We have a lot of insects and beasts in Miaojiang, and it is inevitable that we will enter the house if we haven't returned for a long time, and we shout outside to let them know that someone has come back and disperse quickly." ”

Aliu went into the house and lit a lamp and candle, and the house was equipped with all kinds of wooden furniture, which was also a fine product in the city, and the occasional sound of insects and birds chirping from the window, and the breeze could not help but make people feel refreshed and feel satisfied just sitting here and meditating.

"Would you like some home-brewed mead?"

"Wine? Of course?! ”

Brother Bai is also a good wine person, and he will naturally not miss the mead. After a while Aliu left the house, he carefully brought a bowl of wine and put it on the table, Bai Ge just approached and felt a sweet smell of wine coming to his face, and he drank it carefully, only to feel that the glutinous rice was mixed with the sweet fragrance of honey, which was very soft and filled his mouth, and after swallowing it slowly, a warm feeling gradually rose in his abdomen, which was very pleasant.

"Is the wine still delicious?" Aliutan asked.

"Such a good wine, I'm afraid it's ......" Brother Bai closed his eyes and tasted the aroma of the wine, and opened his eyes in response to Aliu's question, but he only stopped halfway through speaking.

I saw that the flickering lights and candles lined the delicate face of the Miao family woman more crystal and delicate, the snake venom stained on the front lip had completely faded, the skin was whiter temporarily, and the unmodified thin eyebrows and cherry lips were a hundred times stronger than the fashionable woman with heavy makeup in the city? At this time, the Yiren actually pulled off half of his shirt and gently brushed the collarbone that was clearly visible on the shoulder.

"Big brother......?"

Aliu felt the strangeness in Brother Bai's eyes, and asked lightly with a smile. But the latter did not respond, moved his seat, got up and walked over step by step.

"Big brother? Not ......"

Brother Bai roared and threw Aliu on the bed, how could a weak woman of her age have experienced such a scene? I felt that there was a trance in front of me, and I couldn't breathe.

The wheezing of the two grew stronger......

"Hmm......"

Brother Bai only felt a tightness in his chest, and although his mouth did not stop, his consciousness probed in his hands.

A sticky feeling.

Blood ——!

A violent stinging sensation struck, Brother Bai pushed the person in his arms away, got up and staggered to the ground, looking down, two black spots appeared on the bare skin on his chest.

"Come-good-"

Brother Bai looked at Aliu again, only to see the latter patting the shirt on his chest, and the corners of the clothes actually moved, and then a slender cyan snake poked out, spit out the letter and went around Aliu's neck.

"Aliu...... Medicine ......"

Brother Bai covered his chest and pointed to the small bag around his waist, but the Miao Jiang woman was unmoved, and said with a sweet smile: "Big brother, do you really like me?" ”

"Of course!"

Brother Bai replied.

"How about the girl you flirted with in the woods, and the sister who knitted the straw bracelet for you?"

Aliu asked in a cold voice.

Brother Bai was dumbfounded for a while, this woman actually knew everything? And all that just happened?

Aliu put away his clothes, walked to the table, took a sip of the bowl, and continued: "The little snake you saw in the forest before is my family's snake Gu. ”

"Gu ......"

Brother Bai seems to have heard this term in film and television dramas.

"It's okay to talk to you outsiders...... Recently, there has been little rain, and this group of grass ghosts has not eaten for a long time, and today's backlash is also an accident. Then he looked at Brother Bai and said, "Thanks to the help of the eldest brother." As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and came over step by step.

"You...... What are you going to do-" Brother Bai felt that the stinging pain in the wound had gradually lightened slightly, but his vision had become a little blurred.

When he was in a trance, he felt a sweet smell of wine, and when Brother Bai came back to his senses, he found that his body had been soaked with mead, and it turned out that the Miao girl had spilled the wine in the bowl.

"The ditch does not light ......"

Aliu spoke in Miao language, and then two fingers sharply stretched out to Brother Bai's palm, and the latter could clearly see that several black shadows flew out of the sleeves of his coat and landed on him.

Not ——! Not only the sleeves of this Miao girl, but also countless insect shadows gathered in the windows, under the table, on the roof, and in the cracks of the floor of this wooden house, gradually shrinking and devouring them densely......

Stilted building: an architectural form with local characteristics in Xiangxi, generally built in the mountains and on the banks of rivers. Generally, it is divided into two floors, which are divided into five pillars and six hangings or five pillars and eight hangings through the bucket wooden structure. Due to traffic problems, the buildings are made of local forests, and the structure much higher than the ground also solves the problems of damp surface and numerous insects and beasts in Xiangxi.

Gu: The two major evil arts in Southeast Asia: the "Gu" in Xiangxi and the "head lowering" in Thailand. Gu is commonly known as the "grass ghost" in Xiangxi, which is only attached to the woman's body and is impregnated with poison, which can not only adapt to the harm of poisonous insects in Xiangxi, but also protect oneself. There are many kinds of Gu things, including snake Gu, frog Gu, insect Gu, etc. There are too many Gu domestications, and the food is exhausted, so in order to get food, they will make it difficult for the breeder, and the Gu master has no choice but to release the Gu out and harm others.
