Chapter 44: Into the Rainforest (5)
The old man in front of the formation swung the wooden staff, and several sturdy Miao men beside him walked out of the queue with thick ropes.
They used ropes to tie Zhu Beichen and Qijian's hands and feet firmly, and when they freed their hands to tie Han Qingxin, they saw her kick the person and fly out.
"What to tie, it's good to surrender, you still kick your nose in the face, and dare to use a rope on me." The murderous aura in her eyes shocked Miao Min who was holding the rope, and the two who fell to the ground were afraid of her, and they didn't dare to come up.
"Tie it up, it's no big deal, you still want to fight them here?" There seemed to be a deep meaning in the seven words, and the eyebrows were squeezed to hint at her. Only then did she restrain her anger and deliberately glared at the two Miao men who fell to the ground.
"Come on, come and tie it up." Her tone was particularly threatening. At the signal of the old man who led the team, Fang Cai got up and walked to Han Qingxin in a cower, and tied her hands and feet with a rope, and the knot was tied very tightly, for fear that she would suddenly break the rope.
In this way, the Black Miao people carried the three of them, gradually exiting the rainforest and returning to the village where they lived.
……
At night, the Miao village is very lively, this is a black Miao village located on the edge of the rainforest. Tonight, the lights in the village were bright, and the young men who went out dragged a long line back.
The gentle ground is full of low bamboo buildings, and women with their children in their arms gather at the entrance of the village to welcome the return procession. The three of them were tied up like meat dumplings and carried to the Miao village.
Han Qingxin was obviously very unaccustomed to being treated as a captive, and the bright firelight stimulated her vision, this should be the most humiliating time in her life, she was unwilling to move her body in mid-air and sway, the two Miao men who carried her were a little unbearable, and almost fell her to the ground, and the two of them hurriedly came over to support Han Qingxin.
Zhu Beichen was put in the air not far away, looking at this scene and smiling helplessly in his heart, he has been accustomed to hard work since he was a child, even if he is now tied into a zongzi and shelf, he has long been seen as dull.
"Girl, you can save some effort, don't make a fuss, now you are in the den of thieves, be honest." Han Qingxin looked at the joke and laughter coming from next door, and was so aggrieved and angry, if it wasn't for this stupid thing that he had nothing to do and ran to surrender, maybe he would be able to escape after fighting with these Miao people.
The three of them were tied to a wooden frame in the center of the stone platform on a stone platform in the center of the village, and the scene resembled the picture of Jesus being crucified. Under the stone platform, there are circles of Miao people.
"You said earlier that someone should come to save us, why haven't I seen it yet, at this glance, these people all want us to die." Zhu Beichen turned his head and asked Qijian, who was tied to the right side.
Qima's expression was very dull, and he didn't answer, half-squinting, he was indeed a little tired today and needed a good rest.
Counting it, this group of people has not closed their eyes for a day and a night. Zhu Beichen's eyelids were half-matched, and he was also very sleepy, but in this situation, he couldn't sleep. A high pyre was erected under the stone platform, and several Miao boys were slowly lighting firewood under the stone platform.
Wouldn't this be to roast us, Zhu Beichen regretted it a little, now that his whole body is tied tightly, he can't resist if he wants to. It's better to listen to the crazy girl before, and maybe there is still a chance to fight.
At that time, it was also because he listened to Qijian's words and thought that there might still be life, so he took the initiative to give up resistance and avoid friction between the two sides.
The fire under the stone platform was blazing, the blazing heat wave was blowing in the wind, and the hot breath stirred the surrounding air, expelling the cold night like water, and the eyes of the onlookers were cold. The people on the stage seemed to have committed an unforgivable crime, and their silence deepened the fear of the three of them, and the condensation clouds coiled in the hearts of the three people, not knowing what these Miao people would do with themselves next.
The old man on crutches should be the patriarch of the black Miao of this clan, I saw him slowly coming from the crowd and slowly ascending to the stone platform, on which stood six Miao youths with scimitars, watching every move of the three.
The old man said a word to the three of them in a pure Miao pronunciation, all of which were obscure Miao dialect that Zhu Beichen couldn't understand. He looked at Han Qingxin, his eyes like questions.
Shichima raised his eyebrows, "What did you two do in the rainforest during the day?" ”
"What can I do, isn't it just to overturn a few of them, a group of them rushed over and released poisoned arrows, am I still standing there and letting them fight." Han Qingxin was still angry.
"You know that's not what I'm asking, you should be able to understand what they're saying, have you touched anything you shouldn't have touched in the rainforest during the day?"
Black seedlings are specially called Gu seedlings in the entire Miao people, Gu refers to insect breeding and control Gu, and there are many taboos in the forest and wilderness where black seedlings live because of Gu raising. The situation must be very serious, otherwise the strong men of the entire Miao Village would not have been dispatched to search for them in the forest, what did these two people do?
"I didn't do anything, I was chased all over the forest by those mayflies, where do I have the leisure to tinker with something that shouldn't be touched." Zhu Beichen also felt very confused, if this group of Miao people thought that they had touched their things, then they really wronged themselves.
Seeing that the three people who were tied up did not confess, the patriarch's face became more and more solemn, what was lost was very important, and the consequences were far beyond what their black seedling branch could afford.
He lifted the placket of his left wrist upwards, and a sleek figure appeared between the palms of his hands. It was a small black snake, and the eye holes of the little snake were hollow, and it was blind.
The little black snake spat out the letter, and under the rendering of the empty eye socket, the more terrifying this little snake looked, it gave the three of them a feeling of extreme danger, and its snake letter was actually black.
The patriarch pinched the tail of the snake and stretched out the snake body in front of the three people, and the little snake raised its head high, straightened its body, and stood horizontally, with an evil appearance. The little snake first poked his head in front of Nanami and slid from his right shoulder to Nanami's body.
The patriarch let go of the snake's tail, and the little snake went around its neck along its left shoulder to its right, hissing as it used its sense of smell, the sniff of snakes. The little snake poked his head and sniffed the breath emanating from Qijian's body, and there was no panic in Qijian's expression, he showed surprisingly calmness, completely ignoring the little snake crawling on his body.
Seven rooms passed the inspection, and the little snake quickly returned to the patriarch from the new nest.
Do you really want to let this hateful-looking thing crawl around me, Zhu Beichen suddenly shuddered when he looked at the appearance of this snake, and the cold aura transmitted through the black letter already made him extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, it was Zhu Beichen's turn for the second one, his hollow and dark pupils looked at Zhu Beichen's eyes, and he saw the coldness of snakes in his eyes, and the hissing voice became harsh.
"Don't resist it, don't be afraid, as long as you are safe, he will not attack you." Snakes have fragile senses, they only sense moving objects, and if you stand there coldly, they will walk away on their own.
It's just that this little snake that was treasured by the Black Miao patriarch didn't know what kind of refining it had been undergone, and it turned out to be good at smell, and it was dedicated to capturing breath. Under the seemingly stable faces of the seven rooms, there is also awe of these mysterious black seedlings.
The little snake broke away from the patriarch's grasp again and rushed onto Zhu Beichen's shoulder. He closed his eyes stiffly, a refreshing coolness was close to the skin around his neck, the air inhaled from his nose and mouth was mixed with the unique fishy smell of snakes, and the slender body with cold brushed over his right shoulder and neck, programmed around his neck, crawled to his left shoulder, retracted into the patriarch's palm with a 'bang', and wrapped it around his wrist.
The patriarch shook his head helplessly, and only pinned his hopes on the last person. When he was about to leave and walked in front of Han Qingxin, he saw a small snake coiled around his wrist suddenly change.
