In the archives of American expeditions, there was a photo that quickly caught my attention. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

That photograph was taken before Jonson set out to find the city of Helamber, at the Yaowang Temple where we were about to go.

In the photo, Joenson is in the background of the eaves of the temple gate, wearing an English gentleman's tracksuit and riding boots, riding a tall horse, standing in the middle of the crowd, bending over and smiling, it is the moment of high spirits.

In stark contrast to him, the seven Chinese woodcutters under his command were all ragged and dark-skinned, old or weak, showing the declining face of China at that time.

The reason I found this photo interesting was that I found some details on the temple behind Jonson.

On the tiles of the temple eaves, there are circular patterns, although I can't see the patterns clearly because of the pixels, but I still feel very familiar.

I don't know why, I feel that the pattern on the Nawa house is very similar to the draft of the old squad leader's Miao Jiang goddess flower.

Curious, I zoomed in on the photo, then took out my class leader's notebook and carefully compared the two.

After a long time, I was already sure that the pattern of the tile in this photo is fifty percent similar to the goddess of the frontier, and it is also a little similar to the blurred pattern on the kitchen knife given by the Zhao family.

Excited, I quickly told Momiji about this amazing discovery.

In the face of my excitement, Momiji just smiled indifferently and said, "When we get to that temple, let's take a closer look." ”

I nodded, then put away my tablet. Looking forward to the journey ahead.

The village where Yaowang Temple is located is called "Furong Sichuan Blood Rong Village", and the specific location is in the Da Lou Mountain in the northwest of Zunyi City.

I have to say, that place is really hard to find. After we arrived in Zunyi City, we walked along the spiraling provincial road and the simple mountain road for another day, and it was not until the evening that we barely reached the remote "Xuerong Village".

As soon as I got off the bus, I looked at the dimming daylight and the hazy villages, and immediately realized that the best time for observation had passed.

Therefore, I suggest that you find a place to sleep first, and it is not too late to go to the Yaowang Temple tomorrow to find out.

Although the red leaves are excited, they can't look at the facts, so everyone feels that it is better to find a place to live in the advanced blood Rong Village.

So we parked three cars at the entrance of the village, let the Thai dogs and cat brothers take care of the house, and we followed Lin Shaosong and the Golden Fleece group into this strange Miao village.

Once inside, I suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

This village is not big, the buildings are all brick buildings, there are no ethnic characteristics, if you ignore cow dung, the street is quite tidy.

But I always felt that this village was lifeless.

The reason for this feeling is that occasionally when the villagers pass by us, they will look at us with strange eyes, and before we can ask anything, the villagers will hide as if they have seen a plague god, and some children will quietly throw stones at us.

And when the last bit of the sun disappeared from the sky, the only trace of vitality was completely gone.

Seem...... They are not very welcoming to outsiders.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Lin Shaosong was calm, and he knocked on the wooden door of a Miao family.

Half a bell later, the door opened a crack, and a pair of wary eyes stared out.

Facing the other party's unkind eyes, Lin Shaosong immediately sent over a hundred-yuan bill, and then said confidently: "Brother, do me a favor?" Is it okay to stay for one night? ”

The man showed two slippery eyes and didn't take the money.

Faced with the vigilance and hostility of the villagers, I thought that Young Master Lin would give up, but at this time, Young Master Lin sneered again, put away the hundred-yuan bill, and took out a green beautiful knife.

Lin Shaosong stuffed the dollar to the villager again and said, "Okay this time, right?" We just stayed for one night. ”

The villagers looked at the dollar, suddenly opened the door wider, and then reached out and snatched the banknote from Lin Shaosong's hand.

After Lin Shaosong was robbed of tickets by the villagers, instead of being angry, he turned around proudly and said to us: "See! Who has a grudge against money? ”

But just when Lin Shaosong was proud and was about to enter the villager's house, the villager suddenly threw the dollar back on Lin Shaosong's face, and at the same time slammed the door to death.

In Lin Shaosong's surprised and angry eyes, the door of the villagers of Xuerong Village was not opening, and the people inside just scolded bluntly, "Get out", and did not speak.

Young Master Lin, who touched the nail, was in a very bad mood, and he scolded, "Baga!" ~" Then he turned around and said to us embarrassedly: "It's okay, let's change another one, there will always be someone to let me stay." ”

Just as Lin Shaosong was speaking, Hongye, who had not said a word, suddenly walked over, and without saying a word, she picked up the dollar that was thrown on the ground by the villagers, and then showed it to us.

In the display of autumn leaves, we found that the "human head" painted on the dollar had been smashed by the villagers, and the human head on the 100 dollar bill was poked by the villagers with their hands, leaving only three empty holes, swaying slightly in the wind.

Each of us was silent.

I don't know why the villagers would poke the heads on the coins, but it seems to me that it's more like a ritual or a rule, or ...... The pattern on the dollar reminded the villagers of some bad memories.

In confusion, we did not waste time, and before the afterglow fell down the mountain, we knocked on the doors of almost all the villagers one after another, but the results were not good.

In this bloody village, it seems that Lin Shaosong's money policy is not working, he either eats behind closed doors, or makes people scold him in local dialect, and the banknotes that were sent in were thrown out by the villagers without exception.

To be honest, Young Master Lin's experience is quite sympathetic, but the problem is that the villagers' behavior is too strange, and it is the first time I have seen such a place and person who hates money.

If you don't let it live, you won't let it live, what does it mean to waste money.

After many encounters, we had no choice but to leave the village.

After returning to the car, everyone had a meeting and agreed that they could only spend the night in the car, but in the face of the hostility of the villagers, even the mercenaries still had to worry about their own safety.

As a result, the focus of the discussion became the question of where to drive the car overnight.

At this time, Lin Shaosong, who had hit a wall, suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed to a building on a distant mountain outside Xuerong Village and said: "Instead of spending the night in the wilderness, it is better to drive the car to the Yaowang Temple, where there are still walls and rooms, and we have to go there tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, we all focused our eyes on the low building on the hill opposite.
