The child looked like he was about seven or eight years old, and he was only wearing a black jacket, and judging by the white color, it should have been remade from the old clothes worn by adults.

The child was barefoot, with bare buttocks and legs, but looking at his lively appearance, it was not cold.

Meng Xiang was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for directions.

Unexpectedly, the two women suddenly looked up and saw Meng Xiang and the other three, and suddenly screamed.

Meng Xiang and the others froze suddenly, and hurriedly stepped forward to try to appease, but when they heard the sound of scolding, two men, an old man and a young man, ran out of the nearby forest.

Meng Xiang saw that they were dressed, the same black coarse cloth clothes, black coarse cloth headscarves. The jacket looks like a shoulder, with two arms exposed. The lower body is wide mid-length pants with exposed calves and feet.

Both men were holding axes, machetes, and other items in their hands, as if they were doing farm work nearby.

As soon as they saw Meng Xiang and the others, the two men kept cooing and shouting, and at the same time brandished axes and machetes and threatened Meng Xiang and the others.

Meng Xiang really couldn't understand what they were saying, and wanted to try to communicate with them, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the two men looked like they were about to attack.

Fortunately, Liu Manqi had been listening to the two men talking, and seeing that the two men were violent, Liu Manqi hurriedly took two steps forward, and actually talked to the two men with his hands and feet.

Meng Xiang and He Hui were surprised, but they could only stand quietly to the side.

Finally, Liu Manqi and the two men "twittered" to an end, and Meng Xiang immediately asked Liu Manqi: "Why do you say their words?" ”

"These people are supposed to be a branch of the Tubu tribe, and I am the Tubu people. It's just that their language is very different from that of the Tubu people, and I have to listen and guess to know what they are talking about. ”

Meng Xiang was overjoyed, he really didn't expect Liu Manqi to play a big role, and hurriedly asked again: "Then did you ask them how to go out of the mountain?" ”

"I asked, they said that the way out of the mountain is only known to the patriarch and the goddess, and if we want to go out of the mountain, we can only go to the patriarch and the goddess."

Meng Xiang had no choice but to ask Liu Manqi to discuss with a few men and women whether he could take them to see the patriarch and the goddess.

Liu Manqi turned around and talked to the men and women for a while.

The tight skins of the men gradually relaxed, and the two women bent down into the grass hut and scooped water out with a gourd for them to drink.

But Liu Manqi told Meng Xiang that the patriarch and the goddess in these mouths all lived near the "Divine Cave", and that place was not allowed to outsiders to enter.

As for the meaning of "Divine Cave", Liu Manqi couldn't say clearly.

According to Meng Xiang's guess, the so-called "Divine Cave" may just be an ordinary cave nearby, but like these backward ethnic groups who have lived in the mountains for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some gods and ghosts.

Liu Manqi repeatedly pleaded, hoping that the two men could help them go and report to the patriarch to see if the patriarch was willing to show them the way.

Before the two men could answer, they heard a few shouts of "chirping and wah", and a young man, also dressed in the same clothes, hurried from which direction.

The two women hurriedly grabbed the child and met the young man with the two men.

The young man was not as good as talking to the men and women of the same race, and when he saw Meng Xiang and the others, his face showed a look of surprise and vigilance.

The two men hurriedly muttered a few words of explanation, and Liu Manqi also came to him, nodded and said good things to the man.

The guarded look on the man's face gradually disappeared, and then he muttered to the two men and two women for a while.

Liu Manqi hurriedly walked back and said to Meng Xiang: "I don't understand very well, it seems that a monster called Calaf came out of this neighborhood, and it has already torn several clansmen apart. And according to the prophecy of the goddess, all the monkeys in the mountains have gone crazy because of this Calaf's appearance. Therefore, the patriarch had an order to let all the tribesmen scattered around return to the vicinity of the cave to avoid trouble. ”

Meng Xiang and others had already encountered the "monkey going crazy", but they didn't expect that a monster would appear in the mountain, and the "monkey went crazy" was related to this monster called "Calaf".

In the past, Meng Xiang would never believe in any monsters, but today, after experiencing many strange things, even if someone said that the heavenly immortals descended to earth, she would not dare to completely deny it.

The only thing she wondered about was what was this "Calaf"? Could its appearance have something to do with the relief?

The young man who came to deliver the message seemed to have some status in the ethnic group, and after Liu Manqi's repeated pleas, he actually agreed to take Meng Xiang and the other three to the vicinity of the "Divine Cave" together.

These natives are materially scarce, their homes are simple, and everything cannot be easily discarded.

Therefore, Meng Xiang and the others helped them carry the wooden planks that were obviously used for sleeping, as well as casserole pottery bowls and other things, and walked due west for about an hour, when they saw a small flat slope surrounded by several large mountains.

There are about thirty or fifty grass huts on the slope, and a bamboo building is enclosed in the middle of the grass huts.

The bamboo building is actually not very majestic, but under the background of the surrounding grass sheds, it looks particularly magnificent.

As soon as they saw Meng Xiang and the others coming, men and women who were also wearing very simple black clothes with their arms and legs exposed came out of the grass hut one after another, as if they were strange, and followed Meng Xiang and the others to the bamboo building together.

Before he walked to the bamboo building, he suddenly heard a shout, the voice was strong and full of energy.

Meng Xiang looked up and saw a man in his twenties walking towards him.

The same black shoulder-like blouse with two thick arms exposed. On his left arm was a golden ring, which looked like it was made of gold.

He also wears a black turban on his head and a pair of fat half-trousers underneath. He has bare calves and wears a pair of freshly knitted straw sandals on his feet.

He was dark-skinned and not very tall, but his eyes were bright.

Look at him all the way, men and women on both sides have bowed their waists to give way, which shows that his identity is extraordinary.

Meng Xiang thought to himself, could it be that the patriarch here is actually such a young man?

The man's eyes fell on Meng Xiang, and his already bright eyes became more and more bright.

Meng Xiang was very uncomfortable with him, and had to frown slightly and look away.

But listening to the man's muttering and muttering a few words, the young man who led Meng Xiang and the others hurriedly stepped forward and answered the question respectfully.

The man turned his gaze back to Meng Xiang and suddenly asked, "You are people from outside the mountain, you may understand what I say?" ”

He will never speak Mandarin, but it must be Chinese, although it sounds awkward, Meng Xiang can finally understand it, he can't help but be overjoyed, and blurted out: "It turns out that you can speak Chinese!" ”
