Chapter 85: Zamba

Yu Nian poured out all the questions in her heart, I didn't know that as indifferent as she was, she had so many questions.

Along the way, although Yu Nian didn't say anything, he was actually tormented in his heart.

As she said, she has always been busy with responsibilities and missions, but she has never thought about what it is all for. It has always been Azu who said that she would do it, and she never thought about what she was doing.

Azu looked at Yu Nian coldly, and said to the entourage beside him, "Picked up her hundred bone umbrella and sent her to rest." ”

Yu Nian hadn't reached the point of losing his mind, so he just stood stunned, letting Azu ask someone to take away his hundred-bone umbrella.

Immediately afterward, she ordered us to be locked up until she found out my origin and intentions.

Lao Meng was halfway awake at this time, and quickly denied that he was not surnamed Xiao, he and I just met in Pingshui, but in fact, the two of them were not familiar with each other. Tuso has already drunk the western heavens, and has no time to take care of us.

I wanted to struggle again, but Yu Nian glanced at me, and after just one glance, I knew that she might have other plans, so I obediently restrained my hands and was locked in a dungeon in the backyard with the help of Azu's entourage.

In other words, this old Yu family's house is really strange, how can ordinary residents repair this kind of ghost thing, it just so happens that their family has it. I can't say it's an abuse of lynching, after all, I can't even understand where I'm being held in this big ravine.

Lao Meng cried and chirped and said, "It's all your fault, what you say is your surname is not good, you have to be surnamed Xiao, now it's okay, Lao Tu and I are all affected by you." I can't see the beautiful scenery, I can't say anything, I can't drink the wine, what do you say is this? ”

I was annoyed by Lao Meng's muttering, "Okay, okay, don't ink it." Look at Tuso, how can you be a little bit affected by me? People eat well and sleep well, now they are snoring like something, you learn more from others, and your heart is wide and you live a long life. ”

"Don't say it's useless, if you mess around like this again, don't say a hundred years old, it's not certain whether I can live to sixty."

I calmed down and sat by the wall and thought about the day.

The portrait of the ghost girl actually began to spontaneously combust the moment I touched it, which shows how deep this is and our Xiao family's grudge.

But when I thought about it, I always felt that something was wrong.

I saw the statue of the ghost girl before, in front of the coffin of Monro in the octagonal tower.

Then this ghost girl is angry, will it have nothing to do with me being the Xiao family? Does it have something to do with me being the reincarnation of Monroe?

Thinking of this, I cheered up as if I had been beaten with chicken blood, and hurriedly kicked Lao Meng twice.

"What are you going to do?"

I glanced at it to make sure that there was really no eavesdropping next to me, and then I was relieved and said, "Do you remember the statue of the ghost girl we saw in the Octagonal Tower before?" ”

Lao Meng recalled for a moment and nodded, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"I also saw it in the ancestral hall just now, I suspect that this ghost girl is the ancestor of the old Yu family, and this old Yu family may be from the ancient relics clan."

Lao Meng also sat up suddenly, "I'll just say it, I think that statue looks familiar, it is too similar to Yu Nian, that look and temperament." I think your guess is reliable. ”

"Then who do you say my grandfather recruited and provoked? How do you make them hate it so much? ”

"I think that Azu and your grandfather are the same age, will the old couple have some kind of love when they were young, but your grandfather betrayed someone again, causing this old lady to never marry for life, and she still holds a grudge."

The more Lao Meng said, the more he said, I said again and again, "Roll out, where does the residual thought of not marrying for life come from?" ”

Lao Meng patted his thigh, "Then will Yu Nian's father be the illegitimate son of Azu and your grandfather, and Yu Nian is actually your sister who is related by blood." ”

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll break your finger off and stick it in your nose and eye."

The two of us were talking when the sound of the wire being opened was heard outside.

I hurriedly cleared my throat and motioned for Lao Meng to shut up.

A man with a Miao headdress came in, his face low and invisible.

He brought a basket and opened the first floor to a steaming meal. It seems that this Azu still seems to be useful in keeping us, and does not intend to starve us to death.

Just when I reached out to get it, Lao Meng suddenly became suspicious and asked vigilantly, "Little brother, you can't be adulterated with any medicine here, right?" Tell you, grandpa, I'm a person who has walked around on the cusp, and I've seen through this little trick at a glance. ”

The man took off his hat and said coldly, "If you can see through it, you don't need me to waste my tongue to explain." ”

Only then did I realize that it was Yu Nian.

She changed her clothes after such a great effort, and her hair was coiled up and mixed in.

I was pleasantly surprised and asked, "How did you get out?" Is there no one guarding the door? ”

Yu Nian took off a bunch of keys from his body and tested them one by one to see if he could open them, "Someone is guarding it, and I put it down, so you two don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go out with me." When Azu is done with the affairs of the Tibetan Festival, he will be the first to cut you down. ”

I realized that Yu Nian wasn't joking, so I quickly woke Tu Suo.

After Tuso sobered up, he looked confused and asked me why I was tied up. I didn't have time to explain, except that some bad guys tied us up and arrested us while we were asleep.

As soon as Tuso's two hands squeezed hard, the rope was easily disconnected.

After we untied it inside, Yu Nian's side finally opened the door.

When I went out, I found that the two people guarding the door had been leaning crookedly against the wall. Lao Meng snorted curiously, and said reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not dead yet." ”

I followed behind Yu Nian and asked, "Then where are we going now?" ”

Yu Nian looked at the deep mountains behind the village, "Go to Handong to find Zanba." ”

Yu Nian explained that I knew that the word ba means grandma in Miao language. Zangba is the oldest person in the village and now lives alone in Handong. Legend has it that the aborigines in Qianxi Miao Village were also the first Yu family to come here because she received the first Yu family, so there were thousands of Miao Village later.

This old man has an odd temperament and is easily reluctant to meet people. Only once a year, the Little Tibetan Festival will come forward to give the bull red, that is, to point a pig's blood at the door of the cow's head, hoping that it can ascend to heaven after death.

On this year's Great Tibetan Festival, Azu once went up the mountain to invite him personally, but Zanba excused himself on the grounds that he was too old to do these things, so this year's Guzang Festival was not red.

The road to Handong was rugged and difficult, and Azu never allowed outsiders to disturb Zanba's life, so Yu Nian had never dealt with this old man for so many years.

Now that I think about it, as the first Miao village aboriginal to accept the Yu family, I think Zanba must know something we want to ask.

When we came to the foot of the mountain where Handong was located, we looked down the steep staircase, and our legs and stomachs suddenly became half weak.

Several long strips of stone were embedded in the mountain, revealing the width of only half a foot to step on. The winding winding up the ladder forms a ladder with a hardened pavement, and although simple steel guardrails are installed, it is still less than 1 meter narrow in some places and more than 60 degrees steep in places.

There is no more scenery in front of us, the end of the road is still the road, one side of the mountain is still the mountain, and there is no end in sight.

Yu Nian didn't make a pre-departure mobilization, just glanced back at us and walked up.

Lao Meng shook his head and said, "I know why the old lady is reluctant to go down the mountain, if it were me, I wouldn't come down, and I didn't discuss how much money to give." ”

A few of us walked and climbed, the road became narrower and steeper, but the scenery became more and more charming.

Looking down, I saw a Z-shaped road under the cliff, and a river crossing was shuttled in the middle.

When you are at the foot of the mountain, you are in the middle of the scenery and you are not aware of it. But halfway up the mountain, you can clearly see how deep the steep canyon is, and Qianxi Miao Village is hidden in the dark green semi-depression. This ladder is surrounded by countless mountain peaks, and it is not known where to go.

After walking about a few dozen meters high, there was a very clear and audible sound of a waterfall on his side. Turning the bend in front of you, there was a waterfall hidden behind the mountain.

The water mist of the waterfall splits the face, mixed with the slightest cool air, the sound of the waves, and the smoke and water are leisurely.

We're stuck halfway up the mountain, we can't go up, we can't go down. Lao Meng turned around and glanced at his feet, his legs trembling.

Yu Nian said, "It's not far ahead, don't look down." ”

After speaking, he stepped up again. After crossing the waterfall and passing through the strangely shaped trees and rocks halfway up the mountainside, we finally reached the entrance of the Hakondong on the mountain.

Lao Meng lay on the ground panting, and began to worry about how he would go down for a while.

The cave looked desolate and not inhabited.

I asked Yu Nian, "Are you sure Zamba lives here?" ”

Yu Nian shook his head, "I'm not sure, I just heard that I live in the mountains, but since there is a letter cave here, it means that the rumors are still true." ”

Yu Nian walked in front of him, cleaned up the weeds at the entrance of the cave with a machete, and after walking in, he only felt a burst of cool air hit. Unlike the cool mist of the waterfall just now, the temperature inside this cave is even cooler.

After walking a short distance, I saw two yellow light bulbs lit, and I guess we were in the right place.

At that moment, an old lady in a navy blue gown, hunched over with a bucket of water, came out and saw us stunned for a moment, and then said something I didn't understand.

Yu Nian replied and explained, "She said that she would not go to the Guzang Festival, probably thinking that we were going to invite her down the mountain." ”

Lao Meng pulled me, "Do you look at it, this old lady is scared to go down that ghost staircase, that thing is too anti-human." ”

Yu Nian and Nazanba talked in a language that only the older generation of Miao people could speak, and we couldn't understand it, so we could only translate it word by word.

Yu Nian made it clear that he was not here to invite her down the mountain, and also said that she was Azu's granddaughter, called Yu Nian.

This was when Zamba's attitude softened and invited us to sit in.
