Chapter 57: The Nation's Nation
The voice was low and cold, with a Yunnan accent, not very standard Mandarin. But we can all understand it.
Who killed Little Flower? Are you talking about the spotted python? Of course we kill it, and if we don't kill it, it will eat us. But in the face of the black-clad man's questioning, we were still speechless.
He raised this snake? We don't know! Kill all the killings, do you want us to apologize? Money?
I waited for the fat man and Jiang Ming to get dressed, and then slowly retreated to their side. The fat man whispered, "What are we going to do?" "What else can I do? Chilled salad!
The man was very dark, fifty or sixty years old, thin and thin, with a mustache. A pair of vicious eyes glowing with fine broken glass, it should be a cultivator.
Jiang Ming got dressed, stood up, clasped his hands into fists and said, "It was your snake that chased us and bit us, and we killed it in self-defense." Looking at more than 200 catties of good meat, it would be wasted if I didn't eat it, so I roasted it and ate it. But it tastes good, there's still a little bit over there, I was supposed to leave it for supper, why don't you bring some back? ”
He talked too much, and it was obvious that he had succeeded in angering the man in black, only to see him trembling and his fists clenched. A black gas floated out from the Baihui acupoint above his head, and his momentum rose all at once. The bones all over our bodies crackled, staring at us as we slowly swayed our heads from side to side.
The sky was already overcast, and I wanted it to rain. The man trembled there, and the sky became even more oppressive, and a dark wind blew, and the clouds were dark overhead.
The fat man and I hid behind Jiang Ming and watched the man in black change little by little. I saw that brown hair grew on his hands and feet, and he became taller, and his face became monkey-like.
Jiang Ming said suspiciously: "Oh no! Could this be an ape descent? The ape landed at the base and listened to the combat staff officer's mouth, but he didn't pay attention to it, as if he said that it could be broken with some kind of rooster blood.
Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey! Where can you get a now? Whoever can get it, I'd rather pay him 10,000 yuan.
The man in black has completed his transformation, and this is completely a giant monkey. He opened his mouth full of broken teeth and roared to the sky, and then it rained heavily. With a single bounce, he reached the top of our heads, and with a wave of his claws, he grabbed down.
I pushed the fat man and dodged to both sides, and Jiang Ming bowed down and rushed forward. Maybe the man in black felt that Jiang Ming talked too much, so as soon as he landed, his hands were on the ground, and the muddy water splashed on the grass, so he turned around and chased after him.
The fat man ran over and said, "What should I do?" I said, "Hit him with a fireball!" He said, "Fart!" I didn't see the rain! Then we followed them. Jiang Ming pulled out the copper ruler and kept dodging between the bushes and the pile of rocks.
The man in black bounced very well, jumped to the top of his head, waved his claws, opened his mouth wide and howled. As soon as your feet hit the ground, you will turn around and bounce again. It's totally a monkey.
The fat man and I chased after him, and this ran with the agility of the man in black. People are on the stone face, jumping from tree trunk to tree. This speed was so fast that before Jiang Ming's incantation could be recited, the person reached the top of his head, and he also waved the copper ruler to block a few times, and quickly ran away.
Jiang Ming shouted as he ran: "You guys help quickly!" Find the rooster. Right! Fatso! Call your bird down and set it on fire! The fat man suddenly came to his senses and put his finger in his mouth and whistled.
After a while, Suzaku flew in, and the fat man pointed at the humanoid monkey and said burn him! As soon as the tail of the Suzaku dragged behind it spread, a fire ignited with a "bang", and then flew towards the humanoid monkey.
The humanoid monkey was also frightened when he saw a large canopy of open flames coming towards him, and ran into the depths of the dense forest after dodging a few times. Jumped a few times on the stone and disappeared. The fat man hurriedly called Suzaku back and said to go on guard!
The heavy rain poured us like chickens in soup, and when we saw that there was no danger, we quickly ran back and got into the shack. We were huddled in the shack, you look at me, I look at you, everyone's hearts are pounding, rain and sweat are mixed together.
Listening to the sound of the rain outside, it was getting louder and louder, and the pouring rain was blowing with a strong wind. I took out a raincoat from my backpack, put it on and got out, and said, "I'll go to the police, you guys should change your clothes quickly." ”
I walked around, it was raining a lot, and the visual distance was less than ten meters, and I couldn't see any animals. There was a thick white miasma floating in the distance, I probed into the shack and said, "The white fog is foggy outside, it may be a miasma, Jiang Ming, do you have any way?" ”
Jiang Ming heard that he took out a few pieces of talisman paper from his arms and said, "This is a miasma avoidance talisman, which is attached to the forehead and can block the miasma from a meter away." "Sticking to the forehead? Are you sure it's not a joke? Zombies are only attached to their foreheads, right? "I .......
He said, "Hurry up! The devil is kidding you! "I put up a miasma amulet, and sure enough, I was refreshed, not only could the miasma not enter within a meter, but even the rain slid away.
It seems that this talisman works, and now the air is as fresh as the breath of his first girlfriend. I continued to look around and around, and the pouring rain was beating loudly on the leaves, and the wind rustling the leaves.
Hey? In addition to the sound of the crackling rain hitting the plantains, there is also the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, how can there be any other sound?
I climbed on a big rock and looked around. I saw a dozen meters away, a black piece of ground on the ground, like a beetle, rolling large and small clumps crawling towards us.
"The enemy is attacking! ......。 I shouted at the top of my voice. Jiang Ming and the fat man rushed out of the shack, both wearing raincoats with hats. As soon as Jiang Ming came out, he pushed the fat man and said, "Fat man, go back and get your luggage!" Then he pulled out two bird charms.
Before the arrival of the tidal wave of black beetles, we sat on the bird charm and fled into the air. I had a good view from the air, and I saw millions of black beetles rushing to the shack nearby, and the shack was submerged at once.
We breathed a sigh of relief. The fat man pointed to a dark figure in the distance and said, "That dead monkey is over there!" Then he whistled and called: "Xiao Zhu! Burn him! ”
The Suzaku flew over our heads, unfurled its tail and lit a fire with a bang. This Suzaku is used to kill people and set fires, which is quite high-grade. The black shadow in the distance burrowed into the depths of the dense forest again.
We couldn't manage so much, so we flew along the river, and after flying for almost ten kilometers, we saw more than a dozen stilted buildings by the river in the distance. This is supposed to be a minority settlement, so we landed at the entrance of the village, then ran into the village and found a roof to hide from the rain.
The bottom of this stilted building is enclosed to raise livestock, and the people living above it. Jiang Ming glanced up at the eaves, it was very clean, and he said, "Everyone be careful, this family raises Gu." ”
The fat man said, "How can you tell?" ”
Jiang Ming pointed to it and said: "There are not even cobwebs on the eaves, and there is not even dust on the fence behind us, this is a typical Gu cultivator's family, probably a Miao village." ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone in the middle of the village knock on the gong, "Bang! Syllable! Syllable! We all looked over in amazement.
Jiang Ming said to give me the miasma avoidance talisman, and we all took the talisman paper off his forehead and gave it to him. He put it in his pocket and pulled out a few more pieces of rune paper. said that it was a clear talisman, the same as the one that Xiaohua drank, and let everyone stick it on their chests.
We did as he said, and he said that we could avoid Gu to a certain extent, unless it was a particularly strong Gu poison. The fat man said for example? Jiang Ming said that the golden silkworm Gu was ineffective when it developed to the middle and late stages.
It shouldn't be so unlucky, right? I looked up at the eaves, and sure enough, it was clean, no cobwebs or dust.
Within a few minutes, a dozen men came running from inside the village, wearing decaying clothes and hats on their heads. Some hold old-fashioned sleeves, some have standard rifles, and some hold swords.
Someone surrounded us at once, and the first man shouted at us in the local dialect. We shook our heads to show that we didn't understand, and then he said in Yunnanese, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
Jiang Ming took a step forward and said, "We are passing tourists, and it is raining heavily on the mountain, so we are here to take shelter from the rain." ”
The man at the head said: "Huaxia? Where are you from? "The accent is like the accent in Yunnan, but it has its own characteristics.
Jiang Ming arched his hand and said, "We are from the west of Guangdong. "Maybe Yuexi is a bit far away from them, or they haven't heard of it at all.
The man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and called a man, and said a few words to him, and the man ran up the stairs from the other side.
The man went up to the second floor of the stilted building, knocked on the door, and said a few words. Then he got off the stilted building again, ran over and talked to the man at the head again.
The man said, "The goddess invites you into the house." Entering the house? We were puzzled. And the man said, The goddess knows that you are coming, and wants to see you, so she is upstairs. After that, he pointed to the top of our heads.
Jiang Ming glanced back at us, and he said let's go! Go inside and have a look. After that, we followed the man up the stairs. The wooden staircase was slippery from the rain, and it creaked when stepped on.
The man knocked on the door, and the door squeaked open, and it was dark inside. We followed the man in, and the man said a few words into the darkness and then withdrew.
When the man closed the door, it was pitch black inside, and suddenly a bean-sized light lit up in the middle. The light slowly increased, and it was only then that I saw that it was a glass oil lamp.
An old lady dressed in minority clothes with a black cloth wrapped around her head sits on a futon in the middle, and she is stretching out a hand to turn on the oil lamp. Looking at her wrinkled face and a strand of white hair hanging down on her forehead, I couldn't guess how old she was.
The old lady looked up at us and said, "Take off your raincoat!" "I also speak Yunnan dialect, and my accent is quite strong. We took off our raincoats, hung them on nails behind the door, and looked back at her.
She pointed to the futon in front of her and said, "Sit." We sat down one by one, this time closer and more clearly, the old lady should have a cataract, her eyes were cloudy and white, and she couldn't even see her pupils clearly. But it's amazing that she can see us.
The old lady glanced at our faces and said, "What are you doing here, stranger?" ”
