Xia Ti said unrelentingly: "Brother Wu, do you still have that Aina incense?" Give Yang Zi some to eat too, I suspect that you have all insects in your body. ”

Da Zhuang patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid is so blessed, someone cares, come with me, this thing is all over the mountain, not only can cure inchworm disease, but also dispel wind and dampness to prevent heat stroke, and invigorate blood ......" He muttered a lot.

This kind of grass is really all over the mountains, and in an instant I picked a large handful, and when we went back, the three of us ate some, and the entrance of this thing was cool, and it was also refreshing.

At this moment, Hua Bo suddenly moved slightly......

Everyone immediately stepped forward, Hua Bo's eyelids moved slightly, Da Zhuang looked at it, made a silent gesture, and saw that what he said was: I still need to rest.

Da Zhuang pulled Xia Ti and me aside and asked what was going on.

Xia Ti told him what happened to him carefully.

After hearing this, Da Zhuang beat his chest and paused, and said hurriedly: "You mean, you mean that there is still an insect egg in my master's body, and it will become an adult worm in seven days, and continue to devour his soul, then, isn't my master certain to die?" ”

Xia Ti shook his head and said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, although there is no exact way at present, but these clansmen just hid by the Divine Tree back then, and escaped this catastrophe, I estimate that the Divine Tree will definitely be able to destroy this insect, for today's plan, we just want to find the Divine Tree within seven days, only in this way can Hua Bo be saved." ”

I nodded in agreement, "That's right, let's rest first, and we'll leave at dawn." ”

Da Zhuang patted his thigh, "Yes, yes, we must find the Divine Tree within seven days, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

There are a lot of insects and snakes on the mountain in the seedling field, and no one dares to hold it up, so they take turns to keep vigil. The next morning, everyone ate some dry food, and then went on the road, Da Zhuang and I took turns carrying Hua Bo, walking naturally slower, but after walking for an hour, I felt that we were still in one place.

Just when we were worried about getting lost, we found a mark left on the trunk of the tree, which was a direction drawn with a dagger, a piece of bark was peeled off, and a particularly strange figure was carved on the fine white wood inside, an irregular triangle, an arc separated the sharpest corner, although I could not understand the exact meaning of the figure, but it was obvious that the sharp corner was pointing in the direction of travel.

As I walked forward, there was an identical mark not far away, which proved that my understanding of the mark was correct, but I had a strong feeling that I was being followed.

But this is a dense forest, if you don't follow the mark, you can't get out at all, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster and you can't avoid it, fortunately the road was extremely smooth, two hours later, we passed through the dense forest, and another village appeared in front of us.

No need to ask is sure to be on the village, this village is not small, at first glance there are dozens of wooden buildings, the village looks very comfortable, it is noon at this time, the sun reflects the whole cottage very bright, more importantly, here is the most normal village we see after entering the mountain, I heard the children's frolicking sound from afar, and it seems to be singing nursery rhymes.

As soon as they entered the gate, two little boys came out humming a ballad,

was bumping into Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang carried Hua Bo on his back, and was almost knocked to the ground, so he scolded: "Little cub, beware of your Grandpa Wu picking your skin." ”

The two little boys were only six or seven years old, but they were very leathery, they were hit by Da Zhuang and flew out more than two feet, they got up on a wheel, sang songs and ran away, they didn't even look at Da Zhuang, of course, it is estimated that they couldn't understand Da Zhuang's scolding.

Walking further in, there are more and more pedestrians on the street, and there are people carrying water on their backs, so it is not lively. The houses here are a little scattered and different, but the rafters under the eaves are carved with a delicate small snake, which should be the totem of the snake clan, and a bunch of wormwood that has long dried up is inserted in front of the door of each house, like last year's Dragon Boat Festival to drive away evil spirits.

Our first task at present is to find a place to settle down and let Hua Bo rest, however, there have been no outsiders in the village for decades, and there is definitely no inn, so it is best to find the patriarch's house, and by the way, find out the specific location of the sacred tree.

On the corner of the street, three women were chatting, the one in the middle was in her forties, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the silver jewelry on her head was estimated to be about 20 pounds, and she was sitting on the stairs and talking about something, of course, we couldn't understand it at all, we could only feel from her expression that she was chatting quite happily, and the other two women listened with a smile, and nodded from time to time, which is estimated to be the women in the village chattering.

Xia Ti stepped forward and saluted the women: "Sisters, bother, where is the patriarch of your village?" ”

The three women looked at Xia Ti, they looked very friendly and smiling, but their expressions were a little puzzled, and they couldn't stop shaking their heads.

Da Zhuang grinned and said: "Miss Xia, I have always admired your intelligence, but you are really confused, people here can't understand Chinese, and you can ask in vain." ”

At this time, I listened to the movement of opening the door behind me, and looked back, a young woman in her thirties walked out, although the woman was dressed as a Miao girl, but there were not too many accessories, the whole body was very neat, the facial features were marked, and there was a sense of nobility between the eyebrows, but there was less of the lively spirit of the Miao women, the most conspicuous thing was that she was holding a black and white big flower cat in her arms, the flower cat had smooth fur and bright eyes, and it was estimated that she ate well on weekdays.

The woman spoke with a slight Miao accent: "We don't have any contact with the outside world here, we haven't been to a foreigner for decades, and there is no inn in the village, you have to find a place to stay, if you don't dislike it, come in!"

Judging from the above two villages, the people who can speak Chinese here are not idle people, and it seems that they are not good for us, I am vigilant in my heart, but I can't show it on my face, so I hugged my fists and smiled: "Thank you, in the next surname Le, passing through here, I really need to settle down, then bother, I don't know the girl's surname?" ”

The woman pursed her lips and smiled, "Le Gongzi said that he laughed, what about the girl, you can call me Phoenix, come in!" He made a gesture of invitation to us.

I glanced at Xia Ti and Da Zhuang, meaning to let them both pay attention to everything around them, and then nodded, and walked inside.

Phoenix's house is a large two-story wooden building, and the houses here are different from those in the lower and middle villages, and the lower ones are not erected by wooden piles, but

Similar to the structure of the houses in the Han Dynasty, the first floor is a hall, and through the hall is a courtyard of more than ten zhang square, surrounded by a circle of wooden buildings, no wonder the houses in the village are relatively independent, and it is likely that each one is a circle building.

In the middle of the courtyard was a big tree, which had to be hugged by four or five people, and there were a few dried meat strips hanging from the tree, and under the tree were ten large vats, the mouth of which was pressed with stone slabs, and there was no way to see what was inside, and there was a millstone and a barn in the southeast corner.

There was a staircase in the corner of the courtyard, and we went up the stairs to the second floor, and from the upper floor, we could see that the barn was full, and the people here should have no worries about food and clothing.

Phoenix told us that the first floor is not inhabited, in addition to the main hall, that is, the kitchen and firewood room, the bedroom is on the second floor, their family was a big family, since the death of her husband a few years ago, the family has been a succession of dead people, until now only she and a sister live here, she paused, pointed to a room in the west and said that is the room where my sister lives, because of the frequent loss of relatives, originally a lively girl became silent, bored in the room all day long, sometimes only once in half a month, Phoenix sighed, stroked the big cat in his arms, and said that now the only one who can accompany her is this flower cat.

I roughly counted, there are more than a dozen rooms in this circle, and only she and a sister who live here without leaving home, which is indeed a bit of a space.

As we spoke, Phoenix led us into a room and said, "The four of you will live here first." ”

I nodded in thanks, this room is very large, there are two rooms on the left and right, just separating us from Xia Ti, Phoenix is very thoughtful.

Da Zhuang put Hua Bo flat on the bed in the inner room, cut Hua Bo's pulse, let out a long breath, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Phoenix interjected and said, "What's wrong with this old gentleman?" ”

"This is my master, he was ......"

"He was bitten by a poisonous insect and has been in a coma, but it's fine." I hurriedly replied.

Phoenix smiled slightly and said, "You're here for the Divine Tree, right?" ”

I felt a pang in my heart, I didn't expect her to be so direct, and only nodded after a while: "Well, yes, we want to find the Divine Tree to solve the Gu, and ask the Phoenix girl to teach us." ”

Phoenix didn't understand my words, but stared at Hua Bo and said, "Presumably your master lost his soul in Zhongzhai, right?" ”

Startled, he stepped forward and grabbed Phoenix's arm, "You, who are you?" How do you know about Zhongzhai? My master, my master, does he have a way to cure him? ”

The flower cat in Phoenix's arms thought that Da Zhuang was going to be unfavorable to his master, so he hurriedly stretched out his paws and grabbed Da Zhuang, forcing Da Zhuang to let go, Phoenix also took two steps back, waved his hand and sighed: "They are all people in the back cottage, how can I not hear of those living dead in Zhongzhai, but how can I make up for this lost soul!" ”

Her words are also reasonable, the upper, middle and lower three villages are only more than ten miles apart, even if they don't come and go often, but there is no impermeable wall, thirty years, the living dead in the village can not be found, but when the village, Jinshan has never mentioned, we arrested his children and forced him to tell the truth, so he also left a hand for us, is it, is it......
