Chapter 15: The Three Insect Brothers
readx;
The hoe in my hand stopped, and I looked at the three people emerging from the wall, and quickly figured out what was going on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In order to prevent the fire from killing the yin qi, the lights in the whole house were all extinguished, and I dug pits around the yard blindly, looking for the golden silkworm Gu, which was indeed a thief's act in the eyes of the three people who came.
I thought to myself, I live here, naturally not a thief, naturally the three people who came are thieves.
I told myself to calm down and jumped up from the pit. The three of them came in over the wall, they were not very tall, but they were very strong, and they were wearing deerskin gloves on their hands, not the dress of the Miao people.
The three of them walked up to me, their eyes were sinister, and their whole bodies exuded a fierce aura!
One of them said, "Kid, what are you stealing here?" "The accent of the speaker is not from Hunan, but like people from Jiangxi and Fujian.
My heart was beating fast and I said, "What do you care about me!" Everything comes first, first come, and here I came first. You'll have to wait until I'm gone. "I simply used the tone of a thief.
"Kid, have you been digging around here and finding something?" One asked, his eyes swept across the courtyard and saw many deep pits. As he spoke, the other two were already circling left and right, ready to arrest me.
I picked up the hoe and said, "What are you talking about?" If it weren't for the same thing, we wouldn't have to get tangled. ”
The man looked at him slyly and said, "You and I are naturally looking for golden silkworms!" Did you find it? ”
I chuckled in my heart, they actually came for the golden silkworm. I only told me Shen Jinhua this news, and it is very likely that Shen Jinhua spread it.
I thought that I could not deceive them by telling lies, so I shook my head and said, "When you came, I was still digging, how could I find the golden silkworm?" ”
The man nodded and said, "Bujia, Hujia, you go to the pit dug by the child and look for it again." ”
The two of them didn't say a word, stared at me viciously, and walked forward. I don't dare to move, if I fight three against one, I don't have the slightest certainty of winning, but in the pit behind me, there is a golden silkworm Gu, let them snatch it, and I will have no weapon to deal with the scorpion monster.
"Don't move!" I was in a hurry and shouted.
The man looked at him curiously, "Kid, what are you going to do?" ”
I said, "This ...... Bugs kill...... You're going to die......" The man hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Then go and dig it out!" Then he said to the other two, "You two keep watch over him." ”
I had no choice but to step forward, but the movements in my hands slowed down a lot, and when I squinted, the red aura gradually became stronger, and I was getting closer and closer to the golden silkworm.
Bang on the ground! The hoe hits the jar with a crunching sound.
The three of them hurriedly leaned over and stared intently into the middle of the pit, their breathing becoming rapid.
I threw my hoe away and reached out to brush away the icy dirt.
Sure enough, a black jar was found, and several layers of oiled paper were covered with the mouth of the can, which shone clearly in the moonlight.
I also recognized that the appearance of this jar and the sealing method of the oil layer at the mouth of the jar were very similar to that of my grandfather. It should be a unique Gu cultivation technique.
I was shocked, could it be that this is a golden silkworm that has been successfully raised? No wonder there is a red breath.
In witchcraft and feng shui, the red breath is the most vicious and terrifying. The Taoist priest who has practiced for many years does not dare to be careless when he encounters the female ghost in red. And this golden silkworm with a red breath is definitely not simple.
I swallowed and said, "I'm a little scared to move it out." What if it poisons me, come on, the jar will be given to you, I don't want it! ”
The visitor rolled his eyes and said, "Child, you are very cunning, you were afraid that I had robbed the golden silkworm, and now you are afraid that the golden silkworm will poison people." Where do you come from? How did you come here to steal Gu worms? ”
I said, "I'm from the village next door, and I'm at odds with this kid. He always threatens me with golden silkworms. I found out that he went out today, so I came over and stole his Gu worms. You let me go, the poisonous Gu is left to you. ”
Hujia said: "Big brother, this kid doesn't seem to be telling lies. I've heard that the golden silkworm is vicious, so why don't we let the child help me carry the jar, so that we don't have to carry it ourselves, which will increase the danger. ”
The silent step armor also said: "I am standing next to me, and I feel a strong evil aura. The deerskin gloves we have in our hands may not be useful, so it is a good idea to bring children with us. ”
The visitor pondered for a moment, nodded, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and said, "Child, you dig out the black jar, take it with you, and follow me." When you get there, I'll let you go home, you see, that's good. ”
When I heard this, I was already scared into a cold sweat behind my back, knowing that they were going to use me to transport insects. I also know that they will never let me go, and once I reach my destination, I will definitely die.
I looked back into the room, and through the crack in the window, I saw the little paper figure hiding in it, shivering, and the black dog was very smart, and he hid in the room without making a sound.
"I'm not going with you...... It's too far away with you...... The family will be in a hurry...... I'm going back to Bailongtong......" I said with some embarrassment.
The long knife in the eldest brother's hand shook, and he said, "It's really a coincidental mother, and it's very coincidental." We're going to Bailongdong. ”
As soon as the eldest brother said this, I was even more sure that they were the people Shen Jinhua had found. And the reason why I just said Bailongtong is so that they won't kill me.
"Okay, then you must be the honored guests of Bailongtong." I said, "I've been exposed to Gu poison, so I'll help you transport the worms." ”
I reached out and dug out the Golden Silkworm Gu from the dirt and placed it next to the deep pit.
There was a red smell coming out of the layer of oiled paper, and the three of them couldn't see it, but I could see it. My left hand had been corroded by the red breath and turned black, and the palm of my hand was painful and itchy as if it had been bitten by countless ants.
"I'm going to die...... I'm going to die......" I deliberately shouted loudly.
Hujia stepped forward, threw a piece of black cloth, and said, "Pick it up, hold it red in both hands, and follow us." ”
A piece of black cloth fell to the ground, and with sweat on my forehead, I put the black jar inside, and after wrapping it in the black cloth, the palms of my hands turned completely black. It is especially visible in the bright moonlight.
When the three of them saw this, they were all impressed by the golden silkworm.
The eldest brother said happily: "What a fluke to have a child to help us transport insects!" Otherwise, we will all be put down by the golden silkworm! ”
"Xiangxi is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many poisonous insects!" Bujia on the side said.
Under the watchful eye of the three of me, I walked out of Camellia Mountain with the Golden Silkworm Gu in both hands, and wherever I touched the jar, I felt deeply stung.
I gritted my teeth and didn't scream.
Hu Jia took out a few meat buns from his baggage, and the meat buns crawled a kind of pitch-black worm and threw them around, and the watchdog who had been barking ate ate on the meat buns and fell asleep groggily. It seems that this little worm has the effect of making animals sleep.
"I heard that Camellia Mountain is the most dangerous Miao village in the Thirteen Mountains, and this statement is false. A few buns and it's solved! Bujia said with a sigh.
The three of them talked as they walked. I gradually understood that it was the boss who gave orders, Bujia was the second, Hujia was the third, and I didn't hear the name of the boss for the time being.
The moonlight was shining brightly, and we walked on the snow. I was carrying the golden silkworm, and my hands were already a little numb, and I didn't walk fast. Out of Camellia Mountain, I secretly thought about throwing the golden silkworm far away, and then turned and fled. But there are three of them, and only one person needs to pick up the golden silkworms, and the remaining two can still catch me and kill me. It doesn't work!
I scolded the ghost Gu spirit in my heart, I had to dig the golden silkworm at night, but when I thought about it, even if I didn't dig at night, their arrival would still hold me hostage, maybe the situation would be even worse than this.
It was getting farther and farther away from Camellia Mountain, and I couldn't help but glance back, but there was no sign of the black dog. I don't know what happened to the good and the bad, so I can only take one step at a time.
The third tiger armor was short-tempered, and when he saw me slowing down, he kicked me in the back of the stomach and scolded: "Go faster, go to Bailongdong, you will be safe, the longer you drag on, the greater the possibility of your death!" ”
I endured the humiliation in my heart, and pleaded, "My hands are numb, can you take the black jar." I'm still so young, I don't want to be poisoned by poisonous insects......"
The second step was gentle, and said: "Young baby, young and gentle, I can't even carry a jar, how can I make money to support my wife when I grow up." And the third child, you pay attention. The child is broken, are you here to transport the worms? ”
I could only grit my teeth and insist, in the moonlight, extremely helpless. I could only grit my teeth to speed up, and my hands became even more uncomfortable. When I was tired of holding my hands, I carried the black bag behind my back, and the red gas gradually soaked my back, and the torture became more intense.
Bu Jia and Hu Jia laughed, playing Miao Jiang's witchcraft and Gu art.
"There is a custom of raising Gu in Kyushu in China, which has lasted for thousands of years, but it is the most well-preserved in the southwest, and the areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong are almost extinct, and some Gu women raise poisonous Gu, which is also terrifying. The famous dragonfly Gu in the south of the Yangtze River is not enough to lift shoes for the Golden Silkworm Gu. If I have the chance, I'd like to stay and study it. Bujia said with emotion.
"If you want, find a Miao girl to study hard. I'm afraid that Miao Nu will be emotional, and she will give you a love trick, so that you will never be able to leave this Miao Jiang. Hujia quipped.
I listened to it for a while, and thought to myself, powerful Gu worms can make people fearful, weak Gu worms can make people laugh, and the same is true of this world, if I am strong and powerful, I will definitely not become a tool for transporting insects.
There is a strong desire in my heart that if I live, I will become strong.
The eldest brother listened to the conversation between the two, and did not speak from beginning to end, and looked at the 100,000 mountains in the night with a pair of eyes vigilantly.
After walking for more than an hour, I came to a fork in the road.
The eldest brother suddenly stopped and asked, "Little baby, which of these two roads will go to Bailongtong?" ”
