Chapter 470: The Jungle Eats the Strong
With the separation from those three people, the four of us finally had to face the one who had been following behind us. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It seems that Zhang Yan and the three of them didn't mention it to the three fathers and daughters who were traveling with them, saying that someone was following them.
Because the three of them don't seem to know all along, not to mention that the road we have traveled all the way, although it is not a dirt road, it is also a road often taken by the villagers. So if someone follows behind, it's actually quite normal.
What's more, in our group, at least it seems that there is still a man like me. Although I am not very old, I have grown up now, and I am still a normal height in Miaojiang. And among the four of us, faintly I am still the highest.
So after we separated, the three fathers and daughters didn't mean to talk much. But we ourselves understood the tail behind us, and watched the road ahead become quieter and quieter, and seemed to extend into the mountains, and we were all a little dignified.
Not to mention what they thought in their hearts, but I was highly nervous again, after all, I had never experienced this kind of thing, and I didn't know what would happen.
Because everyone didn't speak for the time being, there was no other movement along the way except for footsteps.
When I looked back, I saw that he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he was following us slowly. When we walked fast, he always sped up, and when we slowed down, he didn't seem to be relaxed!
It's like a maggot possessed, you can't get rid of it!
Finally we made a detour at the foot of the mountain, and the trees on the side of the mountain became larger, as if it were a place where few people moved. Although there are birds and flowers along the way, it seems to me that I have no intention of appreciating it.
Because I didn't know the reason, they didn't say anything, so I had to walk behind Wu Chuchu. Behind me was Wu Xian unhurriedly, but in the end, it was Zhang Yan who was carrying the firewood knife on Wu Xian's back basket and broke it!
This kind of firewood knife is a little different from the one in our township. It has a two-and-a-half-foot-long stance, a foot in front of the blade, and the head of the knife is not like the elbow on our side, it is more like a Mo knife in a weapon, with a blunt tip that is obliquely aligned. The sharp blade looks bright and snowy and should be used and sharpened regularly. The handle is more than a foot long, so you should be able to hold it with both hands!
I saw it from the beginning, and the sisters all had a handful hanging on the side of their back baskets, which must be the confidence for them to go on long mountain roads. At this time, Zhang Yan tied the bamboo scabbard to her waist, and it looked a little more heroic.
Wu Chu in front didn't hold the knife in his hand, and walked easily on the mountain road with his bare feet.
I was wearing a pair of white tennis shoes, which my father bought for me when he came back. I didn't expect that after coming here this time, Zhang Yan said that my shoes were too eye-catching, and actually let me change a pair, and the single cloth shoes worn by the people here buried my white shoes in the ground.
Now that I think about Zhang Yan, I am right, because like the Wu sisters are barefoot, and it is a little obvious that I am wearing cloth shoes. Because most of the people I just saw in the street were barefoot and wearing straw sandals. It seems that compared to the outside, the gap between life here and outside is quite big.
However, when Wu Chu walked through a small ditch, he actually picked up a three-foot-long dead branch, which looked to be the thickness of three fingers. I don't know how strong it is, but it looks a little safer!
She looked at me and looked at her, and actually smiled at me and said, "There are a lot of snakes and insects in the mountains now, and they often climb on the road." I'm holding a branch in front of me, maybe it's safer! She even patiently gestured to me, and I felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing her serious and smiling face, I couldn't help but nod at her, indicating that I understood.
"Sister Swallow, what should I do?" Wu Xian saw the person behind him who couldn't get rid of him, and he was obviously a little helpless. Because when I was separated from the three fathers and daughters just now, the child was already asleep, Zhang Yan let her put it in the backpack behind me, and she was more relaxed at this time.
Although I have never carried someone like this, because I am only a child less than two years old, I still feel that my back is not heavy, so I do not say that I can't carry it.
At this time, it was obvious that Wu Xian had been thinking about it in her heart, and when she saw that there was a long road in front of her that was a mountain road, her heart also tightened. Because the people behind her didn't know what would happen, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart.
It turned out that when she and her sister went to sell pheasants just now, they didn't expect to meet an acquaintance!
To say that this acquaintance is not an acquaintance, but he has had a struggle with her family!
Because she has eight brothers and sisters in her family, but only one youngest brother, who is only a few years old now, this is simply a very tragic thing in a world like Miaojiang.
Man is a very strange animal, not only the weakest the strongest, but also the weaker the weaker, the easier it is to bully.
Because their aunt was a famous beauty near the village back then, but because she married her father, she attracted a lot of people's eyes. However, because her aunt gave birth to seven children in one go, none of them had a boy, which is still criticized in Miao Village. even questioned her father, and even relatives and friends didn't want to get close.
In addition, there was a person named Ah Wu in the nearby village back then, who had always been unrelenting to Wu Xian's aunt, and later begged the nearby Gu master to give her aunt a Gu.
This Gu is actually a love Gu that ordinary people don't use, but after falling into this kind of Gu, her aunt can only have sex with Ah Wu. Otherwise, if she is with her Abba again, her Abba will be attacked and killed by the Love Gu. After Wu Xian's aunt knew the situation, she was naturally heartbroken, even if she turned to the elders in the village, it was useless.
Because at this time, this piece of Miaojiang basically belongs to a civilized society. That Ah Wu is the boss of the village again, and he may have bought off some people here, but no one came out to justice. Wu Xian's father was so angry that she almost wanted to go there with a fire gun, but fortunately, at this time, her grandmother was already pregnant with another child and finally gave birth to a son.
What happened to this grievance, Wu Xian didn't even know.
However, because her aunt couldn't be with her father, she suffered from depression after giving birth to her younger brother. Although the Miao doctor in the village knew the reason, he could not do anything to treat her grandmother, which eventually caused her grandmother to become more and more serious, and even now bedridden.
Their eldest sister and second sister were discriminated against in the village, although they had excellent appearance, they also automatically looked for someone to marry early in their teens. Their father only hunts in the mountains all year round to exert his strength and pastime, and Wu Xian has now become the biggest labor in the family.
Wu Xian did not marry when he reached the marriageable age, and wanted to recruit an elder brother to come home.
But everyone in the village knows about her family's situation, and the surrounding village is more than ten kilometers away from the nearest one. After knowing the situation of her family, no one wanted to come over and run on both sides.
Later, Wu Xian met a young man Adong at the mountain song party, and it was love at first sight between the two of them. However, when the other party heard that he was going to Wu's house to take on this responsibility, the other party first prevaricated slightly. Wu Xian was immediately sweetly spoken by Adong, and after being happy with Wu Xian, he immediately turned his face and talked about the conditions.
Later, Wu Xian learned that this young man named Ah Dong was actually the nephew of Ah Wu who attacked his grandmother.
After the other party succeeded, he was stable first, and after knowing that Wu Xian's body had reacted, he didn't appear immediately. even made Wu Xian have a child in the end, and once again became a joke in the village. Now that the child was born, although it was a man, the other party was still shameless to ask for it.
If it weren't for Wu Xian's Abba coming back and guarding the door of the house with a fire hammer, I was afraid that even the child would be snatched away. Wu Xian's father made a blood oath in the village, which alarmed some of the elders in the village, and in the end, those people still restrained for a while.
And the person Wu Xian met on this street today was actually Adong's brother. Although Wu Xian didn't know what his name was, he came with Adong to have a child. After the other party saw the Wu sisters today, he brought people to surround him. Wu Xian vaguely guessed that the other party wanted to rob the child, so he was in a hurry to go back to the village.
"Don't be in a hurry! Although my sister doesn't have much ability, three or four laborers can still deal with it! If they want to come hard, my sister will give them a few strokes with this chai knife! Zhang Yan did not expose herself, but raised the firewood knife in her hand.
The demonstration under normal circumstances revealed the demeanor of a female man. Coupled with the scar on her face, it makes people look a little more strong. But listening to Wu Xian's ears, he felt a burst of peace of mind. Of course, she also secretly made up her mind in her heart, that is, the other party was really going to run rampant, and she was going to let it go.
Walking here, I suddenly heard the sound of running water, although I haven't seen the water yet, but it is already a little lighter.
I couldn't hold back in my heart, and I really wanted to run forward to see, after all, there were some hot weather, and when I heard the sound of water, my heart was still very comfortable. But when we turned around this bend and saw a clump of green bamboo by the stream, our hearts became nervous.
It turned out that the man who had started walking down the street was standing next to the bamboo bush and watching us with another young man. And if we want to go to Wuxian Village, we must pass by this only stream. I didn't know that this man actually led someone to go first, and he was waiting for us here for a long time.
The two men waiting by the stream, although they did not have any weapons in their hands, their sturdy bodies looked impressive.
Looking back at the man who had been following behind, he seemed to have pulled out a firewood knife and held it in his hand. And at this time, he stood at the intersection of the bend we had just passed, the highest position of the mountain bend, and looked at us with a sneer. It looked like we were already in a hurry, so we didn't rush to catch up with us.
If there were some doubts at the beginning, but looking at their behavior at this moment, it is almost certain that these people are lawless, otherwise how dare they openly block us in broad daylight!
Wu Chu, who has always been agile, couldn't help but stand still at this time, looking at us a little panicked! Wu Xian strode past me, directly removed the firewood knife on my sister's back basket, held it directly in his hand, and looked at the two people in front of him vigilantly.
