Chapter 359: Guli and Naza
Gu Li took the war book from his hand and read it again, but he was furious, threw the war book on the ground, and cursed.
"The earth fire village is too deceitful, and what are the rules handed down by the ancestors, bullshit!"
Several other elders also picked it up and circulated it, all of them had ugly faces, and a short and thin old man with a long beard said: "But the Hundred Worm Banquet is indeed a means for each village to compete, and this is also a way that the two villages agree, but judging from this war book, the Earth Fire Village has actually collected more than 70 kinds of insects, this, this ......."
Bai Chang listened strangely and asked: "Since it is a hundred insect feast, it should be more than a hundred kinds of insects, and he has only collected more than seventy kinds of insects, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
Da Aman smiled bitterly: "The Miaojiang Hundred Insect Banquet, although it is famous for hundreds of insects, there are actually only dozens of species, plus in recent decades, there are fewer and fewer types that can be eaten, and it is already good to be able to make up thirty or forty kinds." ”
Gu Li also said: "Da Aman is right, the earth fire village has been coveting the location of Tianshui Village, many provocations, about a month ago, after a fight, both sides have damage, and then in order to avoid the expansion of the situation, they set this rule together, the two sides make a hundred insect feast, limited to one month, which side finds the most insects, makes the best taste, which side wins." The original bet was the water source of Tianshui Village, and half of it was given to Earth Fire Village, but I didn't expect them to be even more excessive now, and directly wanted us to leave Tianshui Village and drive us away. ”
Bai Chang said: "Then how many bugs have you found now?" ”
Gu Li said embarrassedly: "We have also made great efforts for this feast of hundred insects, but there are only a dozen kinds of food that we often eat, and we finally found more than 30 kinds, but we have found more than 70 kinds in the fire village, so we will lose." ”
Everyone had a gloomy look on their faces, and Ma Yaoguang was puzzled: "This is strange, it is also in a big mountain, why can people find more than 70 kinds, but you only have more than 30 kinds?" ”
Gu Li sighed: "Alas, you don't know, the area of Dihuo Village is vast, but the poor mountains and bad water, the environment is harsh, and there are naturally more insects that grow, Tianshui Village has high terrain, good water and soil, and there is a natural mountain spring, the environment is more suitable for human habitation, so there are fewer insects growing, which is also the reason why Dihuo Village has always wanted to occupy Tianshui Village." ”
Bai Chang said speechlessly: "You too, knowing that you can't compare to others, still fight?" ”
Da Aman suddenly said: "This may not be lost, because although there are many insects in Miaojiang, there are only a limited number of edible insects, even if they have collected more than seventy species, but if most of them can't be eaten, it is useless." ”
Everyone nodded, and Bai Chang said again: "You can't do this, the game is the game, you can't expect the other party to make mistakes, as the saying goes, you have to be hard to strike iron, I suggest you still expand the search range, hurry up and find more bugs." ”
Da Aman lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Now the top priority, the first thing is to continue to search for edible insect species, and the second thing is that the arrival of Lord Dragon God, can the curse of the village be eliminated invisibly?" ”
Bai Chang said: "I'm not good at catching insects, and I don't know if I curse or not." However, I am interested in helping you find the god, but by the way, you haven't said yet, who saw the manifestation of the god? ”
Da Aman pointed at the girl and said, "The one who saw the manifestation of the god of heaven is her, Guli's sister, Nazha." ”
It turned out that she was Nazha, and then, Gu Li whispered a few words to her, Nazha blinked her big eyes, but she looked at Bai Chang and Ma Yaoguang suspiciously.
"Are you really gods, dragon gods?"
Bai Chang smiled: "I didn't say that I was a god, it was the people in your village who had to say that." ”
Gu Li hurriedly said to Nazha: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, just now in the Dragon's Tooth Valley, everyone saw it with their own eyes. ”
Nazha nodded and said, "Alright then, the last time I saw the Celestial Gods apparilate was one night a year ago......"
She spoke eloquently.
A year ago, because children disappeared every year, the vigil was strengthened in the village, and it happened that Nazha and another person took turns keeping vigil that day.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be done by men, but the population of Tianshui Village has withered in recent years and there is a lack of strong labor, so men and women have to go together.
That night, in the middle of the night, when Nazha was on duty, she looked at the lanterns hung in every house on the watchtower at the highest point of the stockade, and did not dare to relax at all.
However, at about two o'clock in the morning, Nazha was already a little sleepy and was fighting with her eyelids, when suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in a corner not far away.
She immediately got up, picked up the javelin, and looked intently, only to find that it was actually a "person" who was three meters tall and walked staggeringly, and disappeared in a flash under a wooden building.
She then hurriedly banged the gong to warn her and ran over with her javelin.
The rule in the stockade is that at any time, once the gong is sounded, indicating that something big has happened, everyone must gather immediately.
But when everyone ran to the place of the accident, they couldn't see anything anymore.
At the same time, when people from three families arrived, their faces were full of grief and indignation, and they were crying and crying.
The three children are gone.
Nazha was also shocked, and told everyone about the scene she had just seen, and the villagers were quite surprised.
Children have been lost in the village for many years, but Nazha is still the first to find out about the situation, and the "man" who is more than three meters tall is obviously not a human, it should be some kind of monster.
Some people also say that it was the gods who appeared and took the child away.
After many discussions in the village afterwards, it was unanimously determined that it was likely to be the manifestation of the gods, and as for the true body of the gods, it was probably similar to a centipede, because Nazha said that the person she saw was more than three meters tall, walking and staggering, and it was divided into three sections up and down, with many feet, what is this not a centipede?
After listening to Nazha's story, Bai Chang and Ma Yaoguang were both staring at each other with big eyes.
What the heck?
It turns out that the god they keep saying is a centipede spirit?
"Wait, wait, if I heard me right, the god you just said is a centipede spirit?"
Bai Chang asked puzzled, Nazha glanced back at Da Aman, Da Aman coughed lightly, and said: "This is just a guess on our part, and the gods worshiped by Miao Jiang may not really be gods in the sky, and in some places they are even enshrined in dog gods, so if our gods are a centipede...... That's not surprising either. ”
Well, worship a centipede as a god, and this is no one.
Bai Chang said again: "I'm very curious now, and I also want to see the dignity of your heavenly god, well, this matter is very interesting, I decided to stay for a few days, what about you, Lord Dragon God?" ”
He looked at Ma Yaoguang and teased, Ma Yaoguang didn't refuse, and said with a slight smile: "It's good for you to decide, I have no opinion, but before that, there is one more important thing that must be done." ”
