Chapter 112: The Clan Land (Volume 2 is about to begin.) Ask for a recommendation ticket)
Looking at the wooden gate into the village, it is really big, it should be a gate more than 20 meters high and more than 10 meters wide, and the wooden frames on both sides extend to the foot of the two mountains.
What a magnificent gate, a bit like the solid wood fortress of the Warring States period in the movie.
"This is the most fundamental gathering place of the Gelao people. The people here are all the highest members of the Gelao clan. Don't look at the big place, in fact, there are very few places to live, this is mainly a place to worship ancestral tablets, and there are also places where priests and elders live. Some places are also open for tours, and my sister took me here when I was a child. Wu Xiaoming looked at the majestic gate and whispered to Cao Ping.
This gathering place of the Gelao people is a village enclosed by solid wood splendors, and the wall looks like there are several layers of wood, and it looks like it should be nearly a meter thick, and I don't know how much wood is used when I look at the solid wood fence that stretches for several miles.
The village is really big, but most of it, as Wu Xiaoming said, is open space, divided into two large practice fields in the east and west, and there are neat rows of cabins on the north and south sides. Various streamers hang near the wooden house. In the middle of the village is a stone-clad temple-style building, with the nose of the airplane at the top of the temple.
Looking at the empty village, but the fluttering streamers of various colors made Cao Ping a little inexplicably afraid.
Wu Xiaoming explained on the side: "The huts on both sides, from east to west, are the tablets of the patriarchs of various small ethnic groups of the Gelao tribe. The reason for this concentration is that all the Gelao people hold a collective ancestor worship ceremony here every year. And by the great patriarch or the priest-like person, the patriarch who dies every year is put into the corresponding room. Every year, when you worship your ancestors, there are a lot of tourists. I used to come here when I was worshipping my ancestors. After saying to Cao Ping, he lowered his head and muttered, "Lili, take a look, it's beautiful here...... Yes, I want to live here permanently. ”
Looking at Wu Xiaoming, who was still a little nervous, Cao Ping could only sigh.
Entering this village of the Gelao tribe, the zombies are almost clean, and it is said that it is almost, because there are still many zombies who have been gnawed and only have their heads or heads and arms, staring at everyone, and their rotten mouths are closed one by one. Liu Lichen faced the mutilated zombies, each zombie gave a knife, Cao Ping couldn't bear to look at it, so he shifted his gaze to look at the tall temple.
It is said to be a temple, but it is actually more like a huge stone altar in the European style. Standing up close, he seemed to be even taller and erect, and a majestic aura pressed everyone, and they couldn't help but have a feeling of wanting to worship.
The question is, how to go up, Cao Ping looked around the altar carefully, the outer wall of this altar was almost straight into the sky, and there was no place to grasp it at all. One can't help but wonder how this altar was built.
There was no harvest outside, Cao Ping shouted a few times at the top, and I don't know if it was too high to hear, or for some other reason, Cao Ping never heard a response.
"Okay, don't shout, they can't hear it......" Liu Lichen slapped Cao Ping and told him not to bother. This village is in the middle of two mountains, this basin in the gap, and the wind is so fast that your voice can't reach it at all and it is blown away. The words of our hometown are called Hutong wind, and you shout in vain. I doubt you've studied anything in college. I don't know. ”
Liu Lichen was stunned, Cao Ping couldn't hold back his face, glared at him fiercely, turned around and walked towards the inside of the altar. Hopefully lead to the stairs at the top or something.
There are some differences between the style inside and outside the altar, a little like the side hall of Shaolin Temple, there is a stone statue, and the hideous expression on his face makes people shudder. It looked like it was about ten meters tall, and he looked down at everyone who came in.
Judging from the clothes of the stone statue, it looks a bit like the costume of the ancient wingman in the movie. Cao Ping was stunned strangely for a moment, seeing that the clothes of the zombies outside were a bit sinic, and the ones in the middle were a bit like the Zhuang people, why did they worship a wingman.
"Xiao Ming...... This stone statue is a wingman, right? Why is it different from the clothes of the zombies outside? Cao Ping grabbed Wu Xiaoming, who was also watching, and asked. But I saw Wu Xiaoming scratching his head and said, "I don't know, when we came to travel, this place was not open to the public. Moreover, these autonomous regions have the right to kill, and any act that insults their race is punishable by hacking to death. So, I didn't come in either. ”
Cao Ping scratched his head, this is really a strange phenomenon. At this time, Liu Lichen's voice came, and I saw Liu Lichen holding the stone statue with one hand, raising his head pretending to be forced, and putting one hand behind him, "Comrade Xiao Cao, I didn't say you, your college is really white." Come, Mr. Liu will teach you a lesson. ”
"The Gelao people are a tribe with a long prehistoric heritage, and their ancestors are the people of Liujiang. In the long river of history, they branched out from the bureaucrats and called themselves the Gelao people, but Huaxia has never recognized their existence because their number is too small, that is, in 2020, there were only more than 20,000 people. It was not until 1953 that it was recognized by the ethnic group and officially joined the Chinese family. So...... Comrade Xiao Cao still has to learn more. ”
looked at Liu Lichen in surprise, he didn't expect this kid to become so knowledgeable after not seeing him for so long. Let Cao Ping even worship a little.
"Haha...... Cao Ping, don't listen to him, the stone tablet next to him is engraved with a description of the history and culture of the Gelao people. Li Qiang smiled and pointed to a stone tablet.
Cao Ping looked at the stele, and it was indeed clearly recorded on it the origin of the Gelao clan. Gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Lichen, and kicked him hard. "Let you hit the brick house, I'll kick your turtle grandson to death."
Liu Lichen laughed and dodged.
Cao Ping ignored him and began to concentrate on finding the staircase at the top, but it backfired, there was only one stone sculpture and a few straw mats in this hall, and then there was nothing.
sighed and looked around a few times, and sat helplessly on the straw mat. Above is his beloved, separated by more than ten meters, but it should not be touched. It's painful.
"Looks like we're going to have to spend the night in this village today. You guys go and close the gates of the village, and then inspect the walls. Liu Lichen commanded several soldiers around him as a commander. I saw that the soldiers gave a military salute to Liu Lichen and ran away. Li Qiang also said to the senior brothers beside him: "Brothers." Come with me to help. Let's go see if there's anything else to eat in this village? After all, everyone hasn't eaten for a day. ”
Cao Ping looked at Dr. Li and the others suspiciously, these people didn't say anything when they entered the village, they just walked around, Zhang Jiuhu walked around with the Japanese woman, and her cries were heard from time to time. Cao Ping gritted his teeth fiercely.
Walked up to Dr. Li, tilted his head to look at him, and asked, "Old Li, do you have any ideas?" Go ahead! ”
Dr. Li was stunned for the title of Lao Li at first, and did not refute but smiled slightly: "I don't have any ideas, I'm not a superman, and I can't go up to this height." You can only wait for it to get dark, and then raise a bonfire in the open space to attract the attention of the people above. I also need to know if Ah Li is on it? ”
Bonfire? Cao Ping looked at Dr. Li and was stunned, he just thought about how to go up, and he really didn't think about it.
……
As night fell, everyone gathered around the campfire in the center of the clearing, and the village had not found anything to eat, but there was still plenty of firewood. So, continue to starve tonight.
Although the fire was very strong, it still did not attract the attention of Chen Xiaoxiao and others, Liu Lichen explained that the mountain wind was strong at night, and they should nest in the nose of the machine, and should not come out.
Cao Ping sat on the ground, looked up at the top of the towering altar, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and said to Liu Lichen: "You say, if I shoot a few shots, will I be able to attract their attention." ”
Everyone looked at Cao Ping and didn't speak, they really didn't think about it. I hurriedly went to check my guns and found that they were all out of bullets, and they were all used up when they got on the plane.
Cao Ping looked at Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji just smiled and shook his head, and said, "The last bullet, I was dipped in Dr. Li's potion, and I shot it out." ”
Hearing Xiao Ji's words, Cao Ping couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and finally came up with an idea, but he actually gave up because he didn't have bullets.
couldn't help but remind Cao Ping of Asda, this person must have a gun on him, and there must be bullets, but now he has no news.
I could only stare blankly at the sky.
The climate in G West is very comfortable, although there is often light rain, but the air quality is still very good, Cao Ping can feel the freshness of the air every time he takes a breath, and the stars in the night sky are also extremely bright and clearly visible.
The people around him fell asleep one after another, but Cao Ping didn't feel sleepy at all, and still looked at the top of the altar blankly. I hope that Chen Xiaoxiao will be able to stretch out his head and wave to himself in the next second.
Liu Lichen patted him on the shoulder, arranged the shifts of several soldiers, and fell asleep beside him.
Not long after, Cao Ping also fell asleep dimly.
This night was half asleep and half awake, and I couldn't sleep well. I don't know how long it has passed. I heard Liu Lichen shouting, "I'll go...... It's raining? ”
Cao Ping looked up at the sky in a daze, and found that the sky was already dark, Cao Ping was surprised to find that he actually fell asleep, and slept all night. But looking at the somewhat dim sky, I found that there was not a trace of dark clouds, how could it rain.
Liu Lichen also stood up, the last night he watched, he was woken up just after falling asleep, and when he got up, he raised his head and wanted to scold the sky, but he saw that the surroundings were dry, and there was no trace of rain at all. What is the water on the face? Reflexively dipped a little, leaned into his nose and sniffed, frowned, and scolded: "Who the fuck is so disgusting, actually pee on my head." ”
