Chapter 8: Wazi Village

At this moment, only a "bang" was heard.

I saw the queen bee fall with a buzz from a few wasps.

Suddenly, we and the swarm were stunned for a moment, and I turned my head to look at Mad Da, thinking that he had fired the gun. However, he was also shocked and didn't know what was going on.

What's going on?

At this time, the swarm of bees panicked, and an old man dressed as a Zhuang rushed towards us with two torches.

I suddenly had the feeling that a peasant had met the People's Liberation Army, and if it weren't for the environment, I really wanted to go over and hug the old man and kiss him.

We were so overjoyed that we hurriedly joined the old man to drive away the wasps, which came and went faster, and in an instant they rushed to the place where the queen bee fell and swarmed away.

Seeing this scene, the high tension of life and death suddenly disappeared without a trace, and after stepping on the wasps that fell on the ground and were not dead one by one, we sat on the ground and were stunned, everything that happened just now seemed to be a dream, and there was a feeling of being in a different world.

At this time, Mad Da held his chin with one hand and bared his teeth and shouted, I saw that a piece of his face was already red and swollen, and his expression was very funny.

The old man walked towards us with torches in both hands, and I looked at him carefully, dressed in standard Zhuang clothes: a black cloth scarf around his head, a black cardigan on his upper body, black pants with wide cuffs on the lower body, a short-handled brown smoking gun stuck in his waist, and a pair of black cloth mille-feuille shoes.

This old man is extremely thin, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as skinny, his complexion is dark and red, his wrinkles are very deep, his face is old spots, his eye bags are surprisingly large, and he has a little white beard, and what impresses me the most is his hands, like eagle's claws.

The old man asked us in blunt Mandarin if we were okay, he didn't ask, but when I asked, I felt like the pain of a scattered frame, and my arms were red and swollen from stings, and there was a numb itch.

Gao Sishou struggled to get up, held the old man's hand and said words of thanks.

The old man was a little shy, and he smiled embarrassedly: "I just want to thank you." He pointed to the wasp corpse with his torch, "Quick! The babies were stung by wasps, come back to the village with me, we have herbs, otherwise, we will die. ”

As soon as the old man said this, where did we dare to be lazy, so we quickly poured some water from the kettle to clean the wound, and took snake medicine from the first-aid kit and applied it indiscriminately, so that we could reassure a little.

It's over, the old man leads the way in front, the senior four hands follow closely behind, I support the third child who is still in a trance behind them, and the third child is crazy to carry the third child's equipment behind me, and the little horse brother walks at the end.

The old man walked with us hundreds of meters away, and I picked up a long-pole shotgun from the grass and carried it to my body, and I realized that the "bang" just now came from this shotgun, and it was this shotgun that shot the queen bee down.

Gao Si talked to the old man while walking and asked him what he was called, and the old man said, "My surname is Nong, do you know?" Gao Sishou nodded again and again, and replied a little flatteringly, "I know, I know."

Crazy Da smacked his lips in the back and muttered: "This Guangxi is really good, there are foreign mixed-race beauties, and now there are Shanghainese, this old man won't be an inverted door, right?" ”

I stopped and glanced at him: "I don't know, don't talk nonsense, Nong is the surname of the old man, and the surname Nong is also a big surname in the Zhuang family, how can it be a Shanghainese?" ”

Through the conversation, we learned that the village where Daddy Nong lived was called Wazi Village, and there were more than a dozen families in the village, and it turned out that Daddy Nong came out today to hunt and to find the nest of this hornet.

This hornet, which the locals call - demon bees, is really aptly described. Daddy Nong said that the demon bee would appear once a year at about this time, and each time it appeared, it would inevitably harm some people and animals.

Demon bees are especially fond of obese people or animals, and when they see this kind of thing, they will quickly suffocate them to death, and then fly away with the corpses.

I wipe, and I still walk with the corpse? No wonder Gao Sishou said that this wasp has the smell of rotting corpses, dare to love this demon bee or a swarm of psychopaths, like to collect corpses to make specimens?

Daddy Nong said that the demon bee came without warning, and went quite quickly, and so far did not find their nest, but today he came out to hunt as a supplement, but he actually found the hive, and when he heard our shouts nearby, he rushed over to take a look.

After saying that, Daddy Nong stopped and said that we had killed so many demon bees and were nobles in their village, if it weren't for us, he wouldn't have been able to find this demon bee, let alone shoot down the queen bee, and now it's okay, the queen bee is probably dead.

My heart is hot when I listen to it, the people in the mountains are mellow, but I don't know that if it weren't for him, we might all have become specimens that the demon bee would have admired after dinner.

After walking for a while, the third child got a little better, let go of my hand and walked by myself, but I was a little dizzy, I don't know if it was the effect of bee venom, or because I was hungry.

"Look, it's almost there." Daddy Nong pointed ahead, and I followed his finger and saw more than a dozen two-story wooden buildings.

The wooden buildings are a little messy, some are at the foot of the mountain, some are almost to the mountainside, an open field in front of the mountain is planted with golden rice, and on the side of the rice field is a small stream, a standard picture of the idyllic scenery of a mountain village.

Soon we were at the entrance of the village, and some of the children were surprised when they saw us, and then they ran and screamed, as if they were calling their grandmother or mother.

Then there were old people and women, some of whom had unfinished brocades in their hands, and they were smiling when they saw our embarrassment and ate with the children.

Daddy Nong pulled down his face, chased them with both hands, and said something in his mouth that I didn't understand, and suddenly the crowd shouted and applauded.

I asked Daddy, "What did you tell them?" How suddenly it seems to be very welcoming to us. ”

Father Nong laughed and said, "I told them that you drove away the demon bees, and it was our nobleman, and they must welcome it." ”

Daddy Nong arranged for us to live in his house, Gao Sishou stuffed him with a few big tickets, Daddy Nong said that he didn't want anything, and finally Gao Sishou said he didn't want it, and we left, so we reluctantly accepted it.

Daddy Nong saw that the place where we were stung by the bees was even more red and swollen, and without saying a word, he got busy.

He asked his teenage granddaughter to help us pick out the poison needle first, and then made a simple cupping cup out of a bamboo tube to suck out the poison juice.

After we applied some snake medicine, Daddy Nong found a plant called "Purple Flower Diding", mashed it, and everyone drank a little juice.

The taste was bitter and a little spicy, so he added some honeysuckle and chrysanthemum to the flower mud and applied it to our affected area, and after a while, the cool and cool itching sensation on the body went away a lot, and it was very comfortable.

I ate something casually, and felt sleepy, so I went to bed and fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long I slept, and suddenly, I heard a noise.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark, and I got up and walked to the front hall, where I saw Daddy Nong and some of the villagers arguing about something, and they were laughing with them.

In the past, when I asked the crazy people, I found out that all the villagers had come to invite us to their house for dinner, and Daddy Nong would not let me say anything, and I couldn't help but cry and laugh at the hospitality of the Zhuang people.

At last, Daddy Nong assumed the majesty of an old man and made a promise for us that we would visit their house the next day, and the villagers departed in a huff.

Daddy Nong's dinner at home is very rich, Aunt Nong's cooking skills are better than the senior chef in the hotel, Daddy Nong introduced us to the dishes, what is spicy blood, torch meat, salty liver, ginger rabbit meat, and so on.

We don't care what it is, drinking mellow and sweet rice wine, eating delicious dishes, and the mood is excellent. Crazy even let go of the belt a few buttonholes, making Daddy Nong's granddaughter giggle.

During the banquet, Daddy Nong asked us what we were here for, and Gao Sishou said unashamedly that he was working in a government department and took us to investigate.

When Daddy Nong heard that we were sent by the government, he was even more attentive, and he changed his name to Gao Sishou as the "chief", and I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it.

During the banquet, Gao Sishou seemed to ask about the local customs and folklore very casually, and Daddy Nong was also very talkative, and he said what he caught.

There is a legend that caught our attention, Daddy Nong said: "There is another legend, I don't remember it for a long time, I still listen to what my grandfather said, saying that a long time ago, there was a large group of soldiers, I don't know what to transport into the mountains, but I didn't see this group of soldiers come out, they all said that they were taken by the mountain god to be a forest ranger." ”

Gao Sishou winked at me meaningfully, how could I not know what he meant, he must have learned some information from it.

After eating for a while, although the rice wine is mellow and sweet, but the stamina is very strong, I feel dizzy while eating and chatting, and it makes people sleepy, so I said hello and went to sleep in the room.

I slept until midnight, and I seemed to hear the crazy big and the third child whining and screaming, and I pushed the crazy big who was sleeping next to me in a daze.

Unexpectedly, as soon as my hand touched his body, I felt a hot heat.

I was awakened by this hot heat, and quickly sat up and turned on the light, and saw that the whole face of the crazy big and the third man who was playing on the floor next to me turned purple, and even his lips were blue, and his hands were clutching in the air.

I was horrified, how could this be? Hurriedly shook the madness, and the third asked them what was wrong? I don't know if the crazy big and the third heard my inquiry, and they didn't know what to say.

It's over, what can I do? I panicked for a moment, and quickly got up and called Gao Sishou.

Gao Sishou and Brother Xiao Ma came over to take a look, and their faces immediately turned cold, and Brother Xiao Ma shouted in surprise: "It's not good, I've been poisoned by the corpse."
