I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think about why that creature appeared here, according to the original statement in the mural of the underground temple, those lynches should have been the incarnation of the gourd. Aren't they supposed to guard Yoro? Instead, he finally used my blood to melt the chains and release the Rare Demon.

"You've seen this thing?" The second uncle's intuition was terrifying to an outrageous degree.

I hurriedly shook my head, shrank back, leaned back against the saddle, and closed my eyes.

The road into the mountain was not easy, and after a long bumpy ride, we soon made a detour into the village. The village is in the middle of the Wumeng Mountains, less than 50 kilometers away from the Beipanjiang River where the incident occurred, but even so, we walked for almost two hours. The Yi village is located in a clearing surrounded by mountains, and the houses are located in a different order. The Yi houses in this area of Guizhou are tuzhang houses, which are very similar to Tibetan stone buildings in shape, with the same flat roof and the same thickness. The difference is that its wall is made of soil, which is fixed with splint during construction, and the soil is tamped and raised layer by layer to form an earthen wall.

At this time, it was raining lightly in the mountains, I rolled down the window of the car and it was hazy outside, the rain in the mountains was like a dream, the sound of dripping was endless, like the performance of musical instruments, I looked into the distance, looking at a small stream flowing in front of me, the green vegetation was superimposed on the background of the sky layer by layer, under the lines of the rain were full of natural colors, and I took a deep breath full of the fragrance of flowers and plants.

"There's someone up ahead!" The second uncle pointed not far away.

I saw a group of Yi people standing there waiting for us at the entrance of the village. My heart jumped, I didn't think I was here to find trouble, right?

Lu Xing turned his head and smiled, the people here are very enthusiastic, you don't need to worry about anything, what you really have to worry about is to wait for the wine table later, don't lie down. After that, he stopped the car, went down to talk to them, and then took a man into the car.

"This is Shamashyi, we'll go to his house and settle down first, and I'm going to go into the mountains to have a look at it at night."

Shamash Yi was a young man in his twenties, with large eyes, slightly dark skin, and the muscles on his shoulder were visible to the naked eye while wearing a vest. He sat in the back row and looked at me, smiled and said, "Drink." ”

"Hello mean!" Lu Xing said, "Shiyi's Mandarin is not very good. ”

"Hello, hello!" I smiled and quickly responded.

"By the way, how's that?" The second uncle asked him.

"Another one died, and the second one has already been bitten to death." Lu Xing drove the car and walked all the way forward.

The mountain road in the Yi village is winding, although it is not easy to drive, but there are not many pedestrians on both sides, they are all children, and those children are very polite to avoid the car when they see it coming. When he arrived at a vacant lot, Lu Xing Shamashyi asked Lu Xing to stop the car, got out of the car and crossed the ridge, and it didn't take long for the path to reach the destination.

The rain was still falling, and a layer of mist gradually rose in the mountains, and the mist was very thin, and the wind blew lightly, and you could even see the direction of its flow. "The wind is blowing." I said. The rain that falls vertically weaves into a large silver net in the wind, and finally falls on the plantain leaves outside the house, making a "popping" sound.

Looking up, I saw the sky at the top of the mountain, it was not white and blue, but gray, and the smoke and rain had obscured its original color.

"Sticking the pot (here)! Sticking to the pot! Shamashyi waved his hand and pointed to a wooden house, motioning to go inside.

It is a wooden building, and it is only 2 stories tall.

Shamashyi walked in first, and then greeted a group of people, I was startled, and thought it was a battle to fight, but then I smelled the smell of vegetables and realized that it was to entertain us. On the first floor of the house was a large dining room, with a round table full of men, and a few women were smiling as I sat in a corner of the room.

"How did you get ready so quickly?" I asked.

"It must have been notified in advance, after all, it's rare for you to come to me, wouldn't it be too unsympathetic if I didn't entertain you?" Lu Xing seems to be quite familiar with this village.

"Advance notice?" I asked.

He patted me on the shoulder: "Idiot, this place only lives in the mountains and is not a wild man, so he can use a mobile phone!" ”

"Oh······ Oh······· Oh! I was probably dizzy and hurriedly apologized as I walked in, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "I've kept you waiting, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw that their table was full of food, and some of the big men were sitting together giggling and talking about something, and I went in and bowed to them out of politeness.

"If it's late, take a drink!" I don't know if it was the hanging hair that opened the head.

My second uncle and I were stunned for a moment, thinking that we were unfamiliar with each other, and it was the first time we came to dinner, and someone would still tell us this. To my surprise, the people at the table started to laugh together. So much so that I wonder if these people are too enthusiastic, and I remember that I can feel through some articles that those ethnic minorities are more good at persuading alcohol, but I never imagined that I just said the first sentence, and I was punished with a glass of force.

And these Yi brothers are too familiar! As soon as the three of us came in, we all whined and screamed, as if we had met relatives I hadn't seen for more than ten years, and watching their actions, I was afraid that I would be suddenly hugged by a bear while I was drinking.

"Zhiduo (drinking), Zhiduo, Zhiduo." My second uncle and I stood at the door in a daze, watching as the people came out with a wine jug, shouting as we walked.

"Don't touch that flask." Lu Xing said something in my ear, and walked in first, this guy has a task at night, so naturally he can't drink.

I suddenly understood, damn it, there is no good thing about free travel in this world, we just came to block the wine for Lu Xing's dog's day.

I cried out that I had lost money, and someone brought me a glass of wine. I put my hands behind my back, and I always remembered what Lu Xing told me, it is true that every place has its own wine rules, although I don't know why I can't touch the wine jug with my hands, but I still honestly listened to the persuasion and was fed a sip.

I don't know what kind of wine it is, but when the wine enters my throat, it hurts hotly.

Then Shamashyi came over laughing, took me by the hand, and sat down on the table: "Gesarsa (Is it fun?) ）。 ”

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't understand what he was saying.

"Hahaha!" The people around me laughed, and the atmosphere immediately rose, and I thought to myself that these people are really born to sing hi songs, "Zha Zha (eat)!" ”

"Eat, eat, eat!" Lu Xing handed me and my second uncle a pair of chopsticks, "I'm tired, you eat and drink well!" ”

It's okay to eat well, I'm afraid it's impossible to drink well, looking at the posture is simply the rhythm of drinking and spitting people, but although it is said so, the friends of the Yi nationality are really enthusiastic, and they don't say anything when they meet, just drink and eat, everyone sits at a table inexplicably, but it seems that there are endless words, they speak more jerky Mandarin, and first introduce the dishes one by one, what pork liver, shredded lean meat, noodles, green onions. After the introduction, I looked at you with a smile, I was staring at the hair, but fortunately, the second uncle had seen the world, and raised his glass and toasted someone else's glass of wine.

After drinking, everyone sat down, and then I realized that the people here are not all Shamashyi's family, and now I am sitting next to his cousin and father, and in their village and town, relatives and friends are generally relatively close, so when a relative's family has a meal, they are basically coming in groups to mix rice. The first point is that the place is small, and the second point may be that people from ethnic minorities just like to have a lively life, which is incomparable to the virtual relationship between brothers and sisters in the city who can establish siblings only through the Internet.

After dinner, the second uncle is completely drunk, usually this guy is also a person who does not drink and does not like it, it is the first time I have seen him drunk like this, which shows how terrible the home-brewed rice wine here of the Yi nationality is.

Lu Xing didn't drink because he had to go to the mountains to keep vigil at night, and after dinner, he sent us to a house.

In a trance, I didn't know that this was the one in the village, anyway, when Lu was walking, he came to say goodbye to me, I answered in a daze, and I fell asleep completely.

But in the middle of the night, I was suddenly woken up.

I looked at the man in a daze, he was wearing a hat, he was in a big body, lying in front of my bed, like a bear.

"You are?"

"Master Libu asked you to come over, I have something to tell you." He is fluent in Mandarin.

"Who's Ribu?" I subconsciously sat up from the bed and hugged the quilt on my body.

The sudden arrival of this person really frightened me, the wine woke up for most of the time, took the opportunity to look around, this is a single room, the room is not very big, a bed is worth a quarter of the space, the left side of the end of the bed is a wardrobe, the style of the wardrobe is very old, it belongs to a kind of three-door wardrobe, and I don't know what era of the last century has been handed down.

"Pomp, right? I'm sure it's you, and Ribu asked me to find you. ”

"Who's Ribu?" I retracted my thoughts and didn't think about calling for help, because the person in front of me gave me a simple and honest feeling, and he was not a robber who robbed a house.

"It's Bimo from the village."

Bimo? How could Bimo come to me? Isn't Bimo usually used to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases? Could it be that the people in the village think I'm an evil spirit?

My vigilance suddenly rose: "What about you? So what is the matter with him looking for me? ”

"My name is Oqi Asuke and I am a hunter in the mountains, as for what the master is looking for you, I don't know, he just asked me to take you there."

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a reason in my head, so I got dressed and decided to follow him to see it.

Soon after, I was taken to a house full of men wearing sky-blue turbans, black clothes, sheathed knives on their shoulders, girdles around their waists, and straw hats on their backs. I was babbling in the ancient and jerky Yi dialect, and when I entered, I saw a pair of eyes follow, it was an old Bi Mo, about seventy or eighty years old, full of white hair, a weather-beaten face, two deep-set eyes, deep and bright.

Then the Bimo spoke, and slowly the others withdrew.

I was wondering if I wanted to go, but he spoke.

"Pomp! You're a little different from what you look in the photo, and I almost didn't recognize you. ”

I touched the scar on my face.

"Who the hell are you? What are you looking for me? ”

"It's not that I'm looking for you, but someone asked me to bring you a word."

"Who?"

"Wu Ming!"
