Since Genghis Khan established himself as king from the overlord of the steppe to the expulsion of Yifanyi to establish the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, many cultures have been inseparable from the grassland.

But with the migration of the times, it has faded little by little.

The stone statue in front of him seems to be very distinctive, he holds a carved bow in his hand to make a full shape, and the stone platform music under his feet looks like a skeleton.

And the top of his head is also draped in a stone hat in the shape of a giant wolf, which looks lifelike.

I stood in front of the stone statue and thought about it for a while, and finally it dawned on me that it was like a mouthpiece suddenly opened up, and I suddenly figured out something.

"I see..., this stone statue must be the tombstone of the ancient tomb, and the general of the Yuan Dynasty carved in front of him is the owner of the tomb buried in the coffin!"

Xiao Yue was obviously frightened by my words, and just wanted to say something, but I gently covered my lips with my hand.

"Don't worry, we should have been out of the scope of that ancient tomb, and this stele is likely to be the mark of the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty in Xiangxi."

"Think about it, after the death of a person with a prominent background like that, he will be praised and worshiped by future generations and buried in the mountains of Xiangxi, if there is no sign to find it."

The more I spoke, the more I felt that my words made sense, until I saw the traces of the incense burner buried in the soil under my feet.

It once again confirmed the speculation in my heart.

"You... You're saying that the descendants of the General's Tomb must have lived not far away. ”

Listening to Xiao Yue's words, I couldn't help frowning a little, this possibility is not impossible, but everything in the world is possible.

However, who this general of the Yuan Dynasty was during his lifetime can't help but arouse my curiosity.

The dense jungle in front of me finally thinned out with the pace, and the white mist around it made it difficult to see the direction all the time.

I trampled on the weeds under my feet and looked up at the dim sky from time to time, and couldn't help but wonder that it should be noon.

But why can't I see the slightest bit of sunlight, but the sky is full of dark clouds.

Xiao Yue followed me inch, for fear that she would almost get lost in the layers of white mist.

I broke a thick branch from an unknown old tree in front of me, and held it in my hand to probe the weeds, driving the poisonous insects and poisonous things away.

The whole topography is supposed to be a canyon, and as you look into the distance, you can see the verdant green and verdant peaks on the opposite side.

Suddenly, a little thatch tip covered by the green forest under the mountain forest was faintly revealed, and the joyful Xiaoyue almost didn't jump up and hugged me when she saw this scene.

It should be a farmer, the mountains of Xiangxi are fertile but only a small amount of land is suitable for farming, the vast majority of the reason is because of those poisonous insects and strange birds, if you are not careful, you will lose your life within three moments of being bitten by it.

Just as Xiaoyue and I were walking forward, a classic line came to mind.

"Where are there any people in this barren mountain and wilderness, they are clearly monsters!"

I said it without thinking, and it wasn't until Xiaoyue next to me looked at me blankly that I suddenly realized if I was a little too neurotic.

Huge dark clouds overhead covered the sky, and the whole air smelled of dampness.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang through the sky, followed by a rain the size of soybeans crackling down.

I was wearing a hospital gown that had long been torn, and the blue and white checkered was already muddy, until my chest was still covered with a large area of dirty blood.

"TM, what the hell is this weather? How capricious. ”

I shouted and kept pulling the petite Xiaoyue behind me, but my footsteps never stopped, just running desperately in the direction of the thatched house.

When I looked at it just now, I found that there was still a long way to go, but at this moment, I didn't know if it seemed to be because of the psychological effect or because I was dazzled.

Thatched huts in the simple style of ancient seclusion are neatly arranged in front of you.

It is said to be a grass hut, but it is not all dry grass.

This is very different from the ancient thatched huts that we once fantasized about, because this is Xiangxi and is located in the mountains.

Therefore, the wood piled by the foundation is still some distance away from the whole house, like a pillar made of wood to suspend the whole thatched house in the air.

Only the top of the house is covered with some hay, and the rest of the place is full of the unique wooden village style of the ethnic minorities in Xiangxi.

It wasn't until later that I learned that this was the so-called "stilted building" of the Miao people, because there were many poisonous insects and filth in most rainy seasons in Xiangxi, and this kind of building that lifted the house off the ground could effectively isolate the dampness.

Xiaoyue and I rushed into the house desperately without saying a word, and we were not afraid of disturbing the owner of the house.

It's just that I heard that the ethnic minorities in Xiangxi are very hospitable, and if you suddenly meet a stranger who is lost, you will bring out good wine and food to entertain you.

I can even imagine the enthusiastic Miao wearing silver phoenix crowns and bringing the best roasted whole sheep to us.

There may also be a special bamboo sake, which is said to be a special delicacy made by pouring bamboo into sake lees and water to ferment naturally before it grows full.

"If there are two more beautiful girls, maybe the owner will have two daughters in the family."

I was lewd in this beautiful mood, but I was inadvertently gently touched on the shoulder by Xiao Yue next to me.

My whole body was already covered with pain, and under this unintentional coincidence, I vaguely forgot the existence of this equally dirty but touching little demon beside me.

"Dry... What are you doing, if the master's family plans to keep me as a son-in-law, you must not stop me. ”

"This is a custom peculiar to ethnic minorities."

I was still babbling nonsense, and the thoughts in my head had already drifted beyond the Nine Heavens Cloud, until I gradually came back to my senses, and I realized that the scene in front of me was so unusual.

It can even be said that what I just fantasized about is simply a heaven and an underground.

I opened the wooden door, only to find it empty and dusty.

Most of the Miao people living in the depths of the mountains of Xiangxi are simple and unwilling to contact the outside world, and the houses built are also very distinctive.

When you enter the wooden house, you only have a thick pillar in the center of the room as a support point, and a large wooden bed is placed in the corner.

There is also a hammock hanging next to the wooden bed that looks like a swing.

Overall, this is an eye-opener for outdoor adventurers and those who have a soft spot for minority culture, and it is a paradise place to stay.

I looked around, and then unceremoniously took off the clothes on my body, and looked at Xiao Yue next to me, covering her face directly, blushing.

"Idiot, what are you doing..."

She turned her face away, and the anger in her tone was unspeakable.

"What else can I do, my clothes are wet and I don't let people dry them."

I wasn't going to argue with her, as I had just envisioned, but it was a blessing in disguise to find a place like this in the middle of a torrential rain outside my window.

I cautiously walked to the very central site of the house and slowly lit up the fire.

The Miao and many ethnic minorities who live in wooden villages still maintain the characteristics that have been passed down for thousands of years, and they do not build the so-called "stove".

Instead, a fire was lit in the house, and a cauldron hung from it.

Many times, on the TV or in books that broaden my horizons, I often hear depictions of either pheasants or wild boar meat boiling in a pot.

At this time, we almost drooled when we stood there and looked at the cauldron, but almost all we saw along the way were poisonous insects and wild monsters.

If you come across a hare pheasant or something, you won't be hungry until now.

"Idiot, do you still have anything to eat?"

With the rumbling sound of the stomach came one after another.

I didn't pay attention to Xiao Yue's words behind me, and carefully opened the lid of the pot, and the black viscous liquid inside really startled the two of us.

"TM, this family is really unusual, do they usually like to cook and eat it?"

I gave a sarcastic expression, and then carefully pulled some out of the pot with my fingers.

However, I found that these black substances were like the sediment of Chinese herbal medicines, and they could faintly smell and exude a strange medicinal fragrance.

"Hey, what is this?"

Xiao Yue couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw that I had been frowning and scraping out the contents of the pot with a wooden stick and throwing them away.

Until a round rumbling thing suddenly appeared at the bottom of the deep pot.

With its dark teeth and hollow eye sockets, it stared at us like a ghost, black by the unknown liquid in the pot, to be exact.

"Hell..."

Xiao Yue couldn't help but let out a scream, and the next second, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, as if every pore on my body was spraying cold sweat outward.

"TM's... The more you look at this thing, the more it looks like a human head. ”

"Cannibals!"

A very unfamiliar word flashed through my head, and I was so frightened that I almost fell to the ground.

"Xiangxi... How is it possible, I have never heard of any ethnic minority who likes to eat people. ”

"Delusion... It must be an illusion. ”

I took advantage of the situation to protect Xiao Yue behind me, staring at the surrounding movements for fear of any accidents.

It wasn't until I looked at the thing in the pot again that I realized...

"The bones of this creature are really surprisingly similar to humans, but they are also very different."

For example, the black teeth are arranged in rows, with long, sharp and slender canines at each end, and the entire skull seems to be much smaller than a human head.

So I couldn't help but suddenly realize, and said in a random and categorical way.

"TM, this should be a macaque."

Among the monkeys and rats, only macaques are the closest to human morphological bones, and can almost be called the closest relatives of humans.

It's just that I don't know why this macaque, which is completely black and boiled and only has bones left, appears in the pot.

"Girl, you don't think it's weird in this room since we came in."

"Is there something missing?"

Xiao Yue, who was beside me, listened to my analysis, and then became bolder.

It wasn't until she had the courage to look at the skeleton in front of her and suddenly realized that it was really a macaque, that the fear that remained in her heart was gradually worn away by courage.

“… Miscellaneous... What the. ”

I looked at her blank expression and said without thinking, "Did this house grow out of the ground?"

"Why haven't I seen the master since I entered the door, and we have been here for so long now, even if he has something just happened, he should have come back at this moment."

My words were filled with chills, like a torrential rain crackling outside the window, sending chills down my spine.
