Chapter 225: Exploring the Gu House at Night
We didn't go downstairs again before dark.
The three of them chatted for half an afternoon around the topic of Gu people.
"Lao Su, how can there be so many Gu people in Miao Village?"
Lao Su smiled and replied, "Because I need it!" The so-called Gu people are actually divided into two categories, one is their own people, and the other is slaves. ”
"It's the same Gu person, how can it still be classified?"
"If the villagers of this village die in another country, they must also be made into Gu people, which is the so-called 'Xiangxi corpse' in the outside world. The other type is the sinners of their own tribe or captured enemies, who are made into Gu people for the purpose of serving the villagers. ”
I was a little puzzled and hurriedly asked, "What about the service!" Gu people are basically walking dead......"
"They have the strength to work! You can farm or hunt. ”
Lao Su paused and said, "Actually, there is a special kind of Gu people, that is, the kind of Gu people made of fetuses that you saw at noon today, and they are used to complete some special tasks. ”
During this time, the Miao girls came twice and sent some tea and food.
I asked them about the nursery houses, and learned that there were four nursery houses in the village, located on the four corners of the village.
I pretended not to understand and asked one of the talkative Miao girls: "Hundreds of people crammed into four houses?" Yes...... Can you sleep? ”
Miao Nu smiled: "Sleep? They never eat or sleep, and it's nice to have a place to stand! ”
"Ahh Standing all the time! A room full of people, do you have times to quarrel? ”
The Miao girl laughed again: "You think Gu people are still human!" All their actions are controlled, once they enter the Gu house, it is a pile of vertical wood, not to mention fighting, even if you cut his nose off, they will not move. ”
Lao Huang heard that I always asked about the Gu House, and realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked me, "What do you kid want to do?" ”
I smiled, "Nothing, curious, just curious." ”
According to our suggestion, we were given a little ordinary meat and rice soup for dinner, and both girls and I were hungry all day, and we couldn't care so much that we gobbled up until we were full.
After eating enough, I excused myself to say that I had enough to eat and wanted to go out for a walk.
At first, Lao Su disagreed, saying that Miao Village was different from ordinary villages, and it could encounter danger anytime and anywhere.
I took out the strange sign given by the Miao master, and said with a smile: "Seeing the card is like seeing the Miao master, what am I afraid of!" ”
Seeing that I was so stubborn, Lao Su no longer listened to my verbosity, and waved his hand: "Go!" Go ahead! It's just that you must be careful everywhere, curiosity kills the cat! ”
Seeing that I was going out, Wang Qianmo and Beibei were also clamoring to go.
I scolded secretly: these two don't have a long hand! I thought I was going down for a walk! Didn't you two go and make a mess...... But the two of them had to go, and I really couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.
Go for it! Nor is it an outsider.
Before coming to the south this time, I specially prepared a few flashlights with strong light and ultra-long standby, which came in handy at this time.
When I went downstairs, it was getting late, and I could vaguely see a little light scattered around.
The Gu house is located on the four corners of the stockade...... Where?
I pondered, first determined where I was, and walked in one direction.
Most of the roads in the stockade were paved with cobblestones, so I determined a direction and went straight for them.
Wang Qianmo complained: "Little evil, you ...... Why are you walking so fast? How can there be such a ...... for a walk?"
I had something on my mind, and I didn't pay attention to him.
Beibei also muttered: "I regret it a little, I look at the village during the day, it's quite lively, why after dark, like a ghost village......"
After a pause, she said "ah" again: "I remember!" Grandpa once said that when it gets dark, people in my hometown don't go out......"
Beibei asked rhetorically: "It can't be that the Miao people are afraid of the dark!" ”
"Impossible! There must be some other reason," Beibei replied casually.
After walking for about five or six minutes, I felt that long-lost feeling of oppression in my chest, and my intuition told me that the so-called Gu House was nearby.
Sure enough, after a few more steps, I saw a row of bungalows on a hillside not far away.
With my extraordinary eyesight, I saw more than a dozen people "walking" out of the bungalow in strange postures.
It's more like a jump.
The dozen or so were holding tools in their hands, some with hoes, some with shovels, and some with tools that I couldn't name.
Seeing this scene, I suddenly realized why there was no one in the village after dark.
If my guess is correct, these people who "walked" out of the bungalow are all Gu people, and they are going to work for the people in the village.
I quickly turned off the flashlight, and quickly pulled Beibei and Wang Qianmo to hide under the big tree on the side.
At first, they didn't understand what was going on, and they wanted to ask me, but I covered their mouths one by one.
"Someone is coming, don't talk......"
They both nodded, and I put my hand down.
Soon, these dozen Gu people came over, and the two of them also saw it, and they trembled in shock.
These dozen or so people are all like ashes, and Kenben has no black eyes, and he is clearly a Gu person.
It wasn't until a dozen Gu people 'walked' past one after another that I took a deep breath.
"Little evil, you tell you the truth, is there a purpose for coming here? Probably not just a walk, right? ”
I nodded, there is no need to hide my heart, let's just say it:
"I'm really out this time!" As he spoke, he took out the black jade.
"Xiao Xie, are you for Sister Xiaoni?" Seeing the black jade, Wang Qianmo asked softly.
I nodded, "Yes!" Wang Xiaoni's soul is in this black jade stone, and it needs a lot of yin qi, so I want to find the Gu house they are talking about......"
Beibei didn't know about Wang Xiaoni, she nodded as if she didn't understand.
Seeing that the dozen or so Gu people had already "walked" away, I turned on the flashlight again and slowly leaned towards the bungalow.
In fact, I was still very scared in my heart, in order to cheer myself up, I kept silently reciting what the Gu girl said before-in the Gu house, even if you cut off the nose of the Gu people, they won't move.
When I got closer, I realized that the house was big and ancient, like a big temple.
The door of the house is open, and there is a small window on each side of the door.
I was afraid that the light would cause a reaction from the Gu people, so I turned off the flashlight and tiptoed under the small window on the left.
Sticking my head out, I saw that there were many sculptural people standing in the room, all expressionless, with no black eyes. Needless to say, they are all Gu people!
Seeing that it was exactly what Miao Nu said, all the Gu people were like vertical logs, not moving, and the heart hanging in my heart was put down.
These Gu people, old and young, men and women, all stood towards the southeast corner of the house.
I glanced around and saw that the inside and outside of the house were not proportionately large, and it was clear that the inside was significantly smaller than the outside - could this room have a dark room?
I took two steps back and glanced to the sides, and sure enough, I saw that this row of houses was not this one, there was another one on the east side.
Suddenly my curiosity was renewed!
