On the night I was discharged from the hospital, my senior sister and I talked a lot, and it was still a question of going with me, this time I didn't refuse, one was because there was no danger in this matter, and the other was that before I found the old-timer with high Gu skills, I needed someone to tie me up with a rope before the child, this matter Yu Bingqing was inconvenient to do, and the senior sister just could.

That night, I was tied to the bed with a rope as thick as a thumb, and my sister was still not at ease, so she made a bunk directly next to my bed and connected me to her hand with a thin rope. The purpose is to be afraid that the worms in my body will control my body and jump off the building.

Fortunately, after a few days of recovery, all the puffiness on my body has been eliminated, and I have regained my sunny and handsome appearance.

The Gu art veteran that Master's friend gave me was not in Guangzhou, but on the side of Jishou in Xiangxi near Zhangjiajie, and it stands to reason that these Gu cultivators are generally in the southwest region, and there are more in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Sichuan.

Originally, Senior Sister still planned to drive over, but the road was too far away, and the place was very remote, Master's friend only gave me an approximate location, because he said that he had no direct contact with that Gu master, and only occasionally heard some Taoist old-timers in China mention it, I heard that this Gu master lived in a simple place, and he had been unable to see people, and his whereabouts were also erratic, but he had an old mansion, in a deep mountain called Xianglong Mountain.

Xianglong Mountain is located in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, we first flew from Baiyun Airport to Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport, and the distance from Hehua Airport to Xianglong Mountain is more than 160 kilometers. We spent 500 yuan locally to charter a taxi and go directly to Xianglong Mountain.

The nearest village to Xianglong Mountain is called Shuipai Village, and we got off the bus in this place, and there are not many families in Shuipai Village. This is a village with beautiful mountains and rivers, although it is poor, but the village is peaceful.

Like most rural Hunan, the young and middle-aged people here have gone out to work, leaving behind some old people and children, who may seem a little lonely, but also happy.

When we arrived at this village, it was already dusk and sunset, and we were not familiar with Xianglong Mountain. So we didn't rush into the mountains, but found a kind family to settle down first.

There was only an elderly woman and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, who was over eighty years old and was the mother of the little girl's grandmother, whom we called mother-in-law. I heard the little girl say that because his father died in an accident when he was young, her mother remarried within two years. Leaving the family with no one to take care of.

This little girl dropped out of junior high school after only one year of junior high school because her family couldn't afford to pay the tuition, she said that her name is Wang Siqi, "Wang" is a Han surname, and Miao's surname is "仡卡, 仡佧", which sounds complicated.

The children of the poor are in charge of the house, and this little girl, who is only 14 years old, takes care of all the housework at an early age, raising two pigs, a dozen chickens, and some rice and vegetables.

Her mother-in-law is old, and her eyes and ears are inconvenient, so Wang Siqi has to take care of her mother-in-law's daily life and diet in addition to taking care of all the farm work and housework.

When we entered her house, Wang Siqi was very enthusiastic, her Mandarin is not standard, but she will not be ashamed to communicate, even if she was born in such a poor family, but her personality is particularly cheerful, my sister said that Wang Siqi is very similar to her when she was a child.

Wang Siqi's mother-in-law's surname is Tian, "Tian" is also a Han surname, and Tian's Miao surname is more complicated than Wang's surname, called "Gelai, Gelie, Guolu". These are all transliterated, and the strange thing is that Wang Siqi called her mother-in-law not directly by calling her mother-in-law, but directly by her surname, and adding an incomprehensible word to the end. We asked him what he meant, and she said that if it was in Chinese, it would probably be what Master Tian meant.

We didn't ask much, maybe that's what their custom is called, but we are not the Miao family, so we are directly called Granny Tian. Although Granny Tian's eyes and ears are inconvenient, her spirit is very good, and there seems to be a kind of vitality between her eyebrows.

Because my sister and I gave a high cost of accommodation, so Wang Siqi said that he wanted to kill a chicken to entertain us, these chickens were originally intended to be sold for money, Wang Siqi would not kill chickens, and could not catch chickens, originally we said that we didn't need to kill just eat something, but Wang Siqi was stubborn, no matter what he said, he didn't listen, and he wanted to go to the chicken coop to catch chickens.

In the end, I had to stop Wang Siqi and take the initiative to run into the chicken coop to catch the chickens. This chicken coop is actually a adobe house, with more than a dozen chickens in captivity, the environment inside is very humid, and the air is extremely bad, but the chickens inside are raised by Wang Siqi very strong.

It took a lot of effort to catch the smallest one in it, and we can't eat the big one, so we can sell it for Wang Siqi for more money if we keep it. After catching the chickens out, Wang Siqi did not leave in a hurry, but stood at the door of the chicken coop with a brown crude earthen kiln jar.

"Big brother, you wait for me." Wang Siqi said.

I nodded, grabbed the chicken in my hand, watched Wang Siqi open the earthen kiln jar, and said in my mouth: "I'm sorry, I disturbed you, there are distinguished guests at home today, so we need to show our sincerity, and now we will add food to you, and ask for your forgiveness." ”

I shook my head and smiled, this little girl was really serious, but when she poured the jar into the chicken coop, I realized that the jar contained a slow jar of centipedes.

As soon as the centipedes hit the ground, they scattered and crawled in all directions, and the chickens began to rush up, but began to quickly peck at the centipedes on the ground. In less than half a minute, all the hundreds of centipedes were eaten by the chickens. After eating them, the chickens began to cluck, as if thanking Wang Siqi.

"Hehe, big brother, let's go, let's go to the stove house to kill chickens." Wang Siqi smiled happily and walked in the direction of the kitchen, and at this moment, my heart was almost broken, because after I saw the clump of centipedes, my body became inexplicably hot, and I seemed to want to drive away those chickens, and then grab the clump of centipedes in my mouth and eat it.

This thought startled me, and I shook my head violently and forcibly looked away from the chickens.

"Siqi, where did you get so many centipedes? Do you still keep centipedes? "When I got to the kitchen, I took the kitchen knife from Wang Siqi's hand.

Wang Siqi said proudly while making a fire and boiling water: "Our family is poor, there is no money to buy rice to feed the chickens, so we use centipedes instead, these centipedes are raised by my mother-in-law, I heard that my mother-in-law raised centipedes when she was young, I don't know how, she doesn't teach me, but on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, she will give me a big jar, a jar of centipedes, she asked me to feed some centipedes to those chickens every two days, so that they grow fast, in fact, it is also like this, Our chickens can grow in three months to the size of other chickens in five or six months. ”

"Oh, your mother-in-law is amazing." I laughed.

"What's wrong? Who's really good? "While we were still working in the kitchen, my sister came in, she had been tidying up the room before, and now that she was done, she came to help in the kitchen.

I smiled and said, "Granny Tian is very good, raising centipedes to feed chickens." ”

"Oh? Siqi, how gloomy is the room you gave us, it stands to reason that the window of that room is west, and there is nothing blocking outside the window, there should be sunset every day. The senior sister sat down next to Wang Siqi and asked suspiciously.

Wang Siqi smiled and said: "This is already the driest house in our family, the other two are more humid, my one is slightly better, if the big sister doesn't like that house, I will change it with you, but my bed is smaller, I'm afraid I can't sleep the big sister and the big brother." ”

"No, it's okay, I'm just weird." As she spoke, the senior sister opened a snack bag that she had brought over, and there were all kinds of imported snacks in it, "Siqi, this is for you, it's delicious." ”

Wang Siqi generously took the bag and said, "Thank you, big sister, where are you going, big sister?" ”

"Go to Xianglong Mountain, we're going to find someone." Senior sister said directly.

"Huh? Xianglong Mountain? Sister, it's better not to go there if there's nothing to do. Wang Siqi put away the smile on his face and said with some trepidation.
