The phone was dropped just now, there was no light, and we couldn't see what the man looked like, but I was furious, who cared about this, pushed the Taoist priest away, and scolded a flying kick and went towards him.

The guy obviously didn't expect me to be so excited, and I couldn't react for a while, and I kicked him to the ground, I pressed on him, and reached out to touch his waist, and sure enough, I touched a bamboo basket with a lot of arrows in it.

Holy shit, it's this guy. I cursed in my heart, twisted his hand back, and shouted, "Who the fuck are you, why are you plotting against me?" ”

I don't know where I got so much strength, this guy who sneaked up on me was taller and stronger than me, but now he was being controlled by me, and let out a painful moan: "Release... Let go, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! ”

Well! Why does this sound sound familiar? I wondered in my heart, and just wanted to ask again, the Taoist priest picked up his mobile phone and took a picture here: "Reporter, let him go!" It may be a misunderstanding! ”

The mobile phone light illuminated the situation in front of me, and the guy's face was pressed to the ground by me, and I could only see the back of his head, and I asked the Taoist priest what was going on, and I saw him dangling in front of my eyes with the arrow that almost hit me just now: "You see, the arrow of this arrow is cork, it will not hurt anyone, and there are small needles on it, it should only be used for anesthesia." ”

I was stunned, took a closer look, and found that it was really the same as what the Taoist priest said, but even so, this guy wanted to turn me over for no reason, and he was not necessarily a good person, maybe he was still a robber. Just thinking about it, I heard the guy make a shocked voice: "Ah Yi, are you Ah Yi?" ”

Well! How does this guy know my name? As I spoke, I saw him turn his head with difficulty, and when I looked at his face, I suddenly sighed: "Erhu, why are you?" ”

Erhu was my best playmate in childhood, and he was also the head of the village at that time, and he was very naughty. I wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp at the time, although my physical fitness was not good, but my brain was relatively active, and I often acted as a dog-headed military advisor in the children's pile, and I had some bad ideas, and the two thorns got together and often caused trouble, but I also formed a deep friendship because of this.

I hurriedly let go of my hand, pulled him up, and hugged him, both surprised and puzzled. After introducing the two of them to each other, I asked Erhu: "It's dark, why are you here, and the fuck is still sneaking up on me?" ”

Erhu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I didn't know it was you, so I misunderstood." ”

"So, you're mistaken?"

Erhu scratched his head, and his face showed the unique simple and simple smile of a man in the mountains. He was very happy to see me, and when he saw that the Taoist priest was carrying two large backpacks, he hurriedly took one of them and carried it on his body, and pulled me up and left.

I haven't been back to my hometown for more than a year, and I've been chatting with Erhu all the way about my parents and the changes in the village over the past year.

Erhu was naughty when he was a child, but when he grew up, his temperament became honest and honest, I asked the question just now, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, and turned serious.

"Something happened in the village!"

"Ahh Something went wrong? What's wrong? Hearing him say that something had happened in the village, I was shocked, and subconsciously thought of my grandmother, and hurriedly asked, "What about my grandmother, how is she?" ”

Erhu patted me and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma is fine, her body is as tough as before, and she can still work in the field!" ”

Erhu's family and my family are close relatives, and our relationship has always been very strong, so he also calls my grandmother grandma. Hearing him say this, I felt at ease and hurriedly asked what was going on in the village?

"Alas, it's the mountain ghost mother-in-law who is making trouble!" Erhu sighed, and said in a solemn tone: "Tie Dan and Miwa have been abducted for several days, and they haven't been found yet. ”

The mountain ghost mother-in-law is a kind of mountain spirit in the legend of my hometown, very spiritual, saying that she is a mother-in-law, does not mean how old she is, on the contrary, the legendary mountain ghost is very beautiful, and is the image of a young girl.

There are many legends about her in my hometown, one of which says that she is a goddess in the mountains, mysterious and invisible, but everywhere. She will quietly watch the people entering the mountain in the mountains, looking for the object of her affection, and is a goddess who is very persistent in love.

One also said that she is the soul of the mountain, kind, tolerant, benevolent, she will pay attention to everyone who enters the mountain, quietly help people when they get lost or encounter danger, but leave no traces, is the patron saint of the mountain people.

In addition, there is a more terrible theory that the mountain ghost is actually a kind of lonely ghost, the ghost of a beautiful woman who died in the mountain. They are extremely resentful, cruel and sexually sexual, and often use their beautiful faces to confuse young men who enter the mountains.

They bare their jade bodies, tempting young men to go with them, satisfying their desires, and after doing their ugly deeds, they suddenly turn back to the terrifying appearance of their bodies rotting and black hair after death. If you show fear and horror, you will immediately suck out the yang energy and die, and if you still show your admiration, you will be left in the mountains forever and become a tool for intercourse with them, and you will become a wild man with no clothes.

These three legends about mountain ghosts, the latter are very contrary to the first two, but they all affirm that mountain ghosts are beautiful and charming. However, most of the mountain people prefer the latter, because the mountain people have established a conventional rule for generations: all young and middle-aged people must bring a small mirror when entering the mountain.

Mountain people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, whether it is to collect firewood, hunting, or gathering herbs, they must go into the mountains, but in ancient times, there was no mirror now, what should I do? The villagers in the mountains have their own methods, and there are bronze mirrors hanging in front of each house, and there are one or two small bronze mirrors enshrined in the house, which have been passed down from generation to generation.

But what is the use of a small bronze mirror on the body? According to the old people, this is the experience of the mountain people for generations. Mountain ghosts are lonely ghosts, and if they appear in front of them, they can see their true colors from the mirror when they shine through the bronze mirror. And the mountain ghost is sexual, but she cares very much about her appearance, and when she is ready to seduce people, she will be frightened away when she sees her true face with rotten black hair in the mirror.

It sounds a bit suspenseful, but it seems to me that this rule set by the mountain people is indeed feasible. Mirror reflection, once a person is lost in the mountain, you can use the light reflected by the mirror as a sign for help, as long as you stand at a relatively high point, you can see the reflected strong light from a long distance, so as to improve the probability of being rescued.

Secondly, I know that the mountain people used to touch the mirror with some bright metal powder, which was extracted from a special ore, similar to silver. There are many miasma in the mountains and forests in Yunnan and Guizhou, and some poisonous gases are colorless and tasteless, which can easily make people poison and die unconsciously, and the kind of metal powder smeared on the bronze mirror will turn black immediately after encountering miasma or poisonous gas, reminding the mountain people that there is poisonous gas here, so as to play a role in saving life.

No matter what the real situation is, these legends and experiences that have been passed down for thousands of years always have a certain truth and significance, and as long as these experiences of the ancestors are observed, the existence of mountain ghosts does not matter whether they exist or not.

But Erhu is now talking about mountain ghosts, which suddenly makes me curious, besides, Tie Dan and Miwa are the two children in our group who played better with me back then, younger than me, and we have always treated them as younger brothers, and now that they are missing, I am still very worried, so I asked Erhu for details.

About two weeks ago, several neighboring villages were preparing to hold a large-scale festival called the Mountain Ghost Festival.

Just listening to the name, many people may think that this is an event to worship mountain ghosts, but if you think so, it would be a big mistake.

The mountain ghost festival is actually a beautiful mountain god abstracted by people. Fang Cai also said that there are three legends about mountain ghosts, two of which raise mountain ghosts to the height of the goddess of the mountain, she chases love, guards the mountain people, and is a god that people worship.

The mountain ghost festival is held because of the belief and hope of the mountain people. Because the mountain ghost is the goddess who chases love, and the young men in the mountain also desire love, they also hope to meet a beautiful and kind woman like the mountain ghost and harvest her love. At the same time, the mountain ghost is also the patron saint of the mountain people, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, the villagers are basically relying on the mountain to feed, although in recent years the policy is good, the rise of tourism, but more mountain people are still unwilling to let go of this way of life that has lived for half a lifetime. There is danger when you enter the mountain, and the mountain ghost festival is a kind of prayer that people pray for the mountain, pray for a good harvest, and pray for safety.

Of course, this is not the third type of legendary evil ghosts, but the beautiful side of the mountain ghosts.

On the other hand, mountain ghosts can be said to be a local culture, a culture of spiritual beliefs and customs. Due to the opening of highways and the surge in the number of tourists, the holding of the mountain ghost festival can not only spread this culture, but also attract a large number of tourists through this event and increase the income of mountain people.

Therefore, this event is of great significance, and it must be held in a grand and grand manner.
