"Yes, there is a ......," the boss bowed his head in contemplation.

Just when Qi Tianyang and I stood up our ears and were about to listen, the boss suddenly looked at us strangely, "But those are all legends, none of them are true, and there is nothing good to hear." ”

After that, the boss waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to say more.

The boss's reaction was obviously that he knew something, especially the way he looked at us at the end, which was very weird, but he didn't say anything, and my heart was like a cat scratching in a hurry.

I wanted to ask again, but I was pulled away by Qi Tianyang, "You see that the owner of this shop is so secretive, he will definitely not tell us." ”

"What then?" I was a little disappointed to find out that someone might know about this.

"Alright, don't worry!" Qi Tianyang patted me on the back and led me back to the table.

"How's that, are there any clues?" Ji Sun asked when he saw us coming back.

"No, but the boss seems to know something, but won't tell us." I pursed my lips, still unhappy in my heart.

"Do you have any ideas?" Po Xue asked Qi Tianyang.

"Yes, since this boss knows, then there must be others who know something, we left the hotel today and went to live in the homestay." Qi Tianyang smiled and said confidently.

"By the way, do you still know the Falling Flower Cave Girl?" Qi Tianyang looked at me with a wicked smile, pretending to look incredulous.

"Although I don't know anything about you charlatans, I still have common sense!" I was a little unconvinced, this Qi Tianyang even underestimated me, "The Miao people are the first people to invent weapons, criminal law, and witchcraft, and the corpse is a folk matter and a part of witchcraft. ”

After speaking, I looked at Qi Tianyang with a smug face, and asked you to underestimate your aunt and grandmother, but Qi Tianyang had an expression of "I really think highly of her", and smiled wickedly at Ji Sun and Poxue.

"What's that look on your face!" I'm a little fried, this Qi Tianyang, hum!

"Don't you say that the Falling Flower Cave Girl you know is from a book?" Qi Tianyang seemed to ask with a forced smile.

"yes." Is there something wrong?

"Haha!!" Qi Tianyang finally couldn't help it, and laughed, even Ji Sun and Poxue were smiling.

I was laughed at by them inexplicably, I am not a Taoist priest, nor am I a ghost catcher, I think it is good that I can know this, and they even laugh at me!

I pursed my lips, not wanting to deal with Qi Tian's bad guy.

After a brief breakfast, we left our suitcases at the hotel, and with our backpacks on our backs, we went to the village that the barefoot old man had mentioned.

Before we came, the barefoot old man drew a map for us, saying the general location of the village where Gu was raised, but the barefoot old man also said that this was many years ago, and he didn't remember it very clearly.

I don't have any hope for the map drawn by the barefoot old man, because I just look at it, and the painter and the font are unbearable! I guess it's a lot of ghost drawings!

But Qi Tianyang could recognize the map, to be exact, he could only recognize the general direction. A group of four of us groped in the direction of Qi Tianyang's guidance. It's better to have a map than to scratch around!

In the morning, we passed through two villages, but both of them were relatively modern, and it was estimated that we could not find anything, so we continued to walk towards the mountains and forests.

There are many mountains and rivers in the south, and there are many trees, and although it is also gloomy when I walk among the trees, I don't feel scared when there are so many people around me in broad daylight.

Walking on the country road, until the evening, I don't know how many walks, suddenly heard a sound of blowing and beating in front of me, very festive.

"I guess I'm going to the village again." I said, "But it's strange that there wasn't a single figure on the road. ”

"It's better this way, because the more isolated the village, the easier it is to preserve ancient traditions." Ji Sun Dao.

I glanced at Ji Sun and snickered in my heart, is this a deep feeling? At the beginning, the Dulong clan can also be said to be isolated from the world, but it is also an ancient tradition that has been used to this day.

The further I went, the more people were buzzing, and soon I saw a human figure.

The four of us looked at each other, and we all saw surprise in each other's eyes, is this really isolated?

As far as the eye can see, the village here is also green bricks and green tiles, with a strong ethnic atmosphere, but there is no modern equipment at all. After all, when passing through the first few villages, you can still see one or two small western-style buildings occasionally. And a lot of houses have solar energy on top of them, but here there is none.

In addition, the clothes of the people here are all ethnic costumes, and occasionally a few people wear shirts and leather shoes, which are also old-fashioned, as if they have returned to the Tujia village before the liberation.

We walked towards the village, dressed out of place for the villagers. I saw that the villagers were all happy and walked in one direction.

I stepped forward to stop a mother-in-law in a horse coat and asked, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”

The mother-in-law was shocked when she saw us, and then smiled, "You are a guest from outside!" It's really lucky, I met a good time, today, it's the daughter of the Zhu landlord's family to tie the knot, let's rush over to join in the fun and drink the wine. This big landlord Zhu is very hospitable, you go too, he will definitely entertain you well! ”

Looking at the enthusiastic mother-in-law in front of us, the four of us all had doubts in our hearts, "Zhu Dada", "daughter", "good marriage", aren't these all words before liberation?

Moreover, after so many years of reform and opening up, there are still landlords now? It's incredible!

"Let's go, let's go and see." Qi Tianyang said, took my hand, and walked in the direction of playing gongs and drums.

Ji Sun and Po Xue followed behind us.

"It's so weird, there is still a landlord now!" I said.

"It may not be the kind of landlord before liberation, it may be that the cultural customs here are relatively backward, and the older generation is used to calling the rich 'landlord'." Qi Tianyang explained to me.

I nodded, thinking that the same thing was going on.

As we walked forward, the drums were blowing and beating closer and closer, and suddenly we saw a patch of red from far and near.

The first thing that catches your eye is a group of blowing musicians, each wearing a bright red riding coat and wearing cloth shoes on their feet. Then I saw a tall horse tied with red silk, and on it sat the groom's official, who turned out to be a red horse coat, and wore a big red flower on his chest.

Then, there is a big sedan chair, and there is a matchmaker next to the sedan chair, don't ask me how I know that it is a matchmaker, seeing her gaudy dress and the big mole at the corner of her mouth, I think with my toes I also know that it is a matchmaker.

Although in modern rural areas, there are places where a matchmaker is needed to get married, but it is so realistic, I have seen it for the first time, it is really too high.

At this time, a young man in his twenties came over and said enthusiastically to us: "I heard from Grandma Liu at the head of the village that there are guests in the village, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be true, come with me, our master has been waiting for a long time." ”

I looked at the person in front of me, white shirt, slacks, black leather shoes, and normal dress, but I don't know if it's my heart, I always feel weird.

"Okay, thank you then!" Qi Tianyang replied with a smile, stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, since this person is so enthusiastic about us, no matter what the purpose is, since we are here, we naturally want to find out.

"You're so polite, come with me." As he spoke, the man led the way.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Qi Tianyang's sentence of "little brother" shocked me, these days, where is there still a little brother?

"My name is Junzi, and the guests can call me Junko." was called "little brother", and there was no trace of discoloration on this person's face, but he obediently answered Qi Tianyang's question.

This man named Shunzi led us all the way to a mansion full of red silk, which was comparable to the other residents in this village, which could be called a high-gate compound, with a plaque hanging on it, the word "Zhu Mansion", shining brightly.

We followed Junko into the courtyard, which was very lively, the yard was very large, but there were more people. I think it's probably the whole village!

Most of these villagers are horse coats and breeches, cloth shoes, and occasionally a few of them are more "foreign", wearing shirts and leather shoes, but people like us who wear casual clothes or sportswear are not at all!

I think I went into a rural village during the Republic of China.

We look at these villagers strangely, but these villagers also treat us as monkeys, since we entered the gate of Zhufu, the eyes of this group of people have all fallen on the four of us, and they follow the four of us, all the way inward.

I was relieved until I entered another courtyard and there was no one in it, but seeing the scene inside clearly made me breathe a sigh of relief and lift it up again......
