Chapter 249: A Tale in the Woods

|||--Why did the headless Miao Village come?

The story in the forest has a reason

The bearded man nodded, and then followed the three men along the path from the south out of the village of Yushi Miao. Except for Miao Village, a few people walked briskly in the forest for a while, found a relatively flat position, and then stopped to rest.

After stopping, the middle-aged man said to one of the slightly thinner young men: "Xiao Zhang, we have first-aid medicine in our bag, you can give him a little." ”

Xiao Zhang nodded and replied, "Got it." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the bearded man and said, "You lie down, I'll give you medicine." ”

The bearded man nodded in thanks and said, "Really...... Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would have ...... just now."

"Okay, don't say those words, it's fate to meet us." The middle-aged man interrupted the bearded man with a smile.

"Can I ask your first names? If I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay a few of them. The bearded man asked.

"You don't have to repay it." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "My surname is Liu, my name is the military academy, these two can be regarded as my apprentices." The younger surname is Zhang, and the big guys call him Skinny Monkey, and the darker kid is surnamed Li, who is more honest, so everyone is willing to call him Li Ergou. ”

"Oh oh oh, Liu Military Academy...... Liu Junxiao ......" The bearded man remembered these three words attentively, and after a while, he suddenly said: "This place is very weird, why did you come here?" ”

"Don't ask us yet, how did you get to this headless Miao Village?" Liu Junxiao looked at the bearded man and asked.

"I was walking south with a few friends, but who knew that a king-sized spider suddenly appeared on the way, and it seemed to be deliberately driving us here, but after coming in, it couldn't get out." The bearded man couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

After a while, Liu Junxiao took out a pack of red peonies from his jacket pocket, took one out of it and lit it and handed it to the beard, who took it and took a hard puff, then continued: "It's been a long time since I've smoked such a good cigarette, it's really comfortable." ”

"What happened?" Liu Junxiao also ordered one for himself, took a puff and asked.

The bearded man fanned the smoke in front of him with his other hand, and said with a wry smile: "Later, my friend and I wanted to run out of this village, but who knows how many times we went back and forth in this forest, but we couldn't get out, and the last time, we met ...... Met that ......."

"That's a dwarf mule." After spitting out a cigarette, Liu Junxiao said: "It is a kind of mandrill, the locals call them dwarf mules, and they are as good at confusing people as the yellow skin in the northeast, and the thing it holds in its hand is called the Absolute Heart Grass, which is an herb that can aggravate the psychedelic effect." ”

"How do you know that?" The bearded man asked with a frown.

"It was a local Miao man who told us." Li Ergou hurriedly said: "Before we entered the mountain, we found a guide, he brought a few of us all the way here, and then said that he would not go from here, he had to take a detour, and if we inquired about it, it would be at least nearly four to five days wasted, we already had urgent matters on our bodies, where would we waste such a long time in vain!" So, I wanted to take a shortcut to pass from here, but who knew that when that guy knew that we wanted to pass in front of the door of the Miao Village, it was like crazy, splashing and rolling, and even pulling and pulling to prevent us from leaving! Finally, he told us a very interesting story that wanted to scare us. ”

"Story?" The bearded man asked in surprise, "What story?" ”

"I'll tell you, you said

Enough is enough, I'll say it this time. After the thin monkey finished bandaging the bearded man's wounds, he pushed Li Ergou away and said with a smile: "A ghost story!" ”

"Ghost stories? Tell me about it! The bearded man asked curiously.

"Uncle, listen up, let's get started." The thin monkey squatted down as he spoke, picked up a stone on the side as a waking wood, and slapped it heavily on the other stone, making a crisp "pop".

"Can you still do it?" Li Ergou frowned and said, "If you don't talk about it, I can talk about it!" ”

Li Ergou was about to start speaking, but the thin monkey hurriedly stopped: "Look at you, you always disrupt the rhythm of others, and you don't want to be annoying." ”

Li Ergou glanced at the thin monkey, but the thin monkey didn't see it, and said with a smile: "As soon as the wood wakes up, let's talk." According to legend, there is a very, very, very large palace complex behind this forest, and the original owner of this palace was the fairy girl. You may be asking who is the fairy girl? She is none other than the sister of the Queen Mother and the sister of the Jade Emperor. ”

Li Ergou was impatient to hear this, and said loudly: "Can you hurry up?" ”

"Okay, okay! You're in a fucking hurry! The thin monkey scolded: "That palace is so gorgeous that it is said that people can often see the golden light on the mountain on cloudless days, so many people call that place the city of gold, and the mountain where the city of gold is located is called the sacred mountain." ”

"City of Gold?" After hearing these four words, the bearded man couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, it's the City of Gold." The thin monkey nodded.

"And what's next?" The bearded man asked.

As time went on, many local Miao families began to worship the fairy girl, thinking that she could help them avoid disasters and eliminate diseases. But one day, all that started to change suddenly. Speaking of which, the thin monkey listened deliberately, as if he was deliberately selling Guanzi.

"What happened that day?" The bearded man asked anxiously.

"On that day, countless red clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was not the usual fire cloud, but a cloud like blood. They are all over the world, not only the entire sacred mountain and the golden city are reflected red, but also the entire earth is reflected as red as blood. The thin monkey lit a cigarette and took a puff before continuing: "At first, people didn't think it was a big deal, but occasionally a few old people thought it was an ominous omen, but no one paid much attention to it. ”

"And then?" The bearded man asked.

"Later, many people began to lose their livestock inexplicably, from chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, to cattle, sheep, mules and horses, these livestock would always disappear in a few moments, and then the next day, they would be found not far outside the village. It's just that when they were found, they were already dead in a desperate situation. ”

"It's weird indeed." The bearded man said.

"It's not just that they're gone, it's strange that the heads of these animals have been cut off, and the blood is sucked up, and it can even be said that there is not a drop left." The thin monkey said: "These strange things soon spread among the various Miao villages, some people think that the mountain demon came to do it, and some people think that it was who offended the fairy girl, so there will be such retribution, in short, there is anything to say, but no matter what, since the blood cloud crossing happened, the strange things in this realm have begun to pass more and more, until ......"

"Until something happens again?" The bearded man asked.

"Until a girl gets married, all the weirdness finally comes to a head." Skinny Monkey said

"According to the guide, it was many years ago, when he was still young, still living in the village of Yushi Miao, he only remembered that it was in the evening, four shirtless men carried a red sedan chair into their village, the people in the village were very happy, some singing, some dancing, some watching the excitement, some followed the coaxing, the bride is very beautiful, so beautiful that a child can't help but want to see a few more glances, everyone hugged the bride into the cave room. But at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, a sudden scream woke up all the people in the village. The big guy rushed out of his house for the first time, wanting to see what was going on outside, but who would have thought that the scream was actually coming from inside the newlywed cave, and the terrible thing was that the bride was holding the groom's head and gulping blood. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" The bearded man exclaimed.

"At that time, all the people in the village were frightened, thinking that the bride was a demon and a monster, so they ordered someone to pull her to the guillotine at the back of the stockade, and solved her with the harshest decapitation in the stockade, in order to prevent her from being reincarnated and harmful, she also deliberately threw her body into the mass grave outside the stockade and fed it to the wolves, and her head was burned on the other side of the stockade." The thin monkey sighed when he said this: "The big guys think that this is the end of the matter, but who would have thought that this is just the beginning, from that day on, people in the village will often disappear in the middle of the night, and the next day people will suddenly find him lying naked outside the village, but his head is gone, and the blood on his body seems to have been sucked dry." ”

"Female ghosts?" The bearded man said.

"The people in the village think so, at first it was just some timid families who moved out of the village, and slowly everyone left here, once the largest village in the four towns and eight miles, it has become a headless Miao village, even if someone walks through here now, there will be ghosts hitting the wall in broad daylight." The thin monkey said with relish.

"So there's a story here." The bearded man said, "By the way, you asked me just now, but you haven't answered me yet." What are you here for? ”

"We're here to find someone." Liu Junxiao said with a frown.

"Oh, find someone! Did you find that? The bearded man asked.

"No, we just met you when we got here." The skinny monkey said as he drugged the beard.

"What kind of person are you looking for? I've been around here for a few days, maybe I've seen it. The bearded man said.

"He, like Uncle Liu, also has the surname Liu." Li Ergou hurriedly said: "I'm about the same age as the two of us." ”

"Also surnamed Liu!" The bearded man asked in surprise: "Is it a young man who is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, thin and tall, with a high nose, slender eyes, and a partial?" ”

"You...... How do you know? Have you seen him? After hearing this, Liu Junxiao was first surprised, and then hurriedly asked, "This brother, have you seen my son?" ”

Xiao Liu...... Xiao Liu is your son? The bearded man asked in surprise.

"Hmm!" Colonel Liu nodded and asked, "When did you meet him?" Where has he gone, do you know where he is now? ”

He ...... He may have ...... It's already ......" the bearded man gritted his teeth and thought about it, but he still didn't say the rest of the words.

"What's wrong with him?" Liu Junxiao asked.

"It's already ......" The bearded man seemed to be very determined to say the next words, but as soon as his words reached his lips, suddenly a figure flashed not far from them.
