Chapter 17 Rushing to Miao Village
Although Qin Zhen couldn't see what they were doing behind, he was also keenly aware that the atmosphere of all of them was not right. Busy asked, "What's wrong?" You are talking! β
Gu Jie wanted to answer Qin Zhen, but looking at the small piece of special red vein, he didn't know how to express it.
In the end, it was Yudong who said, "Qin Zhen, this is Juntian's prediction, you will definitely come to me after you leave him, so he will do this." But what it is, I don't know. But I'm sure it must have something to do with Joonten. And the ghost who filmed you just now disappeared because it touched the mark left by Juntian. β
After Qin Zhen understood the words, Yu Dong sat back in his place. He didn't say anything more, just picked up the brass bell and looked at it carefully. When Qin Zhen and the others saw it, they also hurriedly sat around and studied the bell in Yu Dong's hand together.
It's really not too much to call this thing a 'ghost bell'.
Although the texture of this bell is copper, the overall black and shiny color gives people a ghostly feeling. Moreover, the surface of the bell depicts countless evil spirits with long tongues and long faces. There are also some quirky patterns and characters around the perimeter. The whole is full of an indescribable weirdness!
Yu Dong looked carefully, and he turned the bell upside down again and looked at the inner wall. The inner wall is full of strange characters, and the font size is as delicate as a rice carving.
To be honest, putting aside the functions of these evil sects of this ghost bell, this thing itself is already very valuable.
Gu Jie looked at the bell at this time, and suddenly said, "Let's shake it and listen to the movement, shall we?" Feel how different it is from other bells......"
Before Gu Jie's words fell, he heard Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi shout with some excitement at the same time, "No!!" β
This shout was so abrupt and neat, it scared Lao Gu into a daze! He was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "What's wrong with you two!" Daqi, Qin Zhen's lack of heart is just like this, you said that you are on the same level as him! β
Jiang Qi stared at the bell very tabooly and said, "What happened just now is too evil, I always feel that this bell is not just a certificate for entering and exiting Miao Village." We'd better not let it ring here yet, or else... Who knows what it will incur ......"
Gu Jie thought about Jiang Qi's words and felt that it made sense. So I shut up and didn't mention it anymore. In addition, he had been frightened by that grimace in the cabinet before, and he was afraid that if it was really as Jiang Qi said, the bell would attract something, it would not be good...... For this man, it's okay to fight and kill beasts, just don't be haunted......
At this time, Yu Dong looked at the ghost bell in his hand and said in a deep voice, "No, we don't have time." Hurry up and rest, get up and go to Miao Village at dawn tomorrow! We must hurry up and find the Hundred Demons! β
Although Qin Zhen didn't quite understand why Yudong suddenly came out so nervously with the sentence 'There is no time'. But he didn't ask, he didn't lift his sleeve to look at the line on his wrist. No matter how much it has grown now, Qin Zhen doesn't want to know! It's better to hurry up, he thinks about the lives of a group of friends, and also thinks about Juntian, who can't be contacted and doesn't know what he's done.
Originally, Qin Zhen also said that Jiang Qi asked Juntian what was going on and how he was now. But Jiang Qi said helplessly, "He can contact us, but we can't contact him." β
It's right to think about it, there are so many strange and secret things in his ghost research institute, and he must be a mysterious person hidden in the shadows like Yudong. How can it be the same as a normal person.
There is no other way but to hurry up and set off on the road. That's the only thing they can do.
As soon as the morning dawned, the four of them tacitly packed up their equipment and prepared to go. Who can sleep soundly in these few hours?
And after a frightening last night, their minds are probably full of uneasiness and thoughts. So before dawn, I set off.
Before leaving, Yudong had already 'kindly reminded': this way, there are more mountain roads than roads, more walking than cars, and more poisonous insects, snakes and ants than birds. In addition, transportation is basically carried out, communication is basically carried out by shouting, and defense is basically carried out by hand.
Because once you enter the vicinity of the mountain forest where the Demon Monarch Miao Village is located, the traffic has been completely interrupted. It's hard to say whether there is a road or not! It was almost completely isolated.
There are no towers or anything like that in the vicinity. Without a tower, there is no signal, and without a signal, there is no way to communicate with the outside world, so once they enter that area, how to survive depends entirely on themselves.
Moreover, the people in Miao Village cannot use firearms and weapons. Because in that case, you can only die a worse and ugly death.
The horror of witchcraft does not lie in death! Death is not terrible. The terrible thing is that you will go through the torment of life is worse than death, and you will die slowly when you can't survive and can't die. And it's still the kind of death that can't be looked at.
These are all things that Yudong told them to mentally prepare in advance. Lao Gu was curious, and he kept asking Yu Dongzhong what kind of 'can't look directly' picture when he died with Gu Technique?
Yu Dong thought about it for a moment, and it looked like he had indeed seen it before. But it seems that it is impossible to express the extreme fear and shock of the vision. So in the end, I could only say to Lao Gu, "If you are in a good hurry, maybe you can see it when you arrive at Miao Village." The way they enforce the rules of the family is already terrifying. β
As soon as he finished saying this, Qin Zhen scolded Gu Jie fiercely from the bottom of his heart. The heart said that Lao Gu, you really don't think it's a big deal! That kind of thing, can you catch up with us or try not to catch up?? Why do you have to watch that scene?
Especially for a mollusk-phobia like Qin Zhen, Gu magic is really terrifying!!
In this way, they followed Yudong on a trip to which mountain area they didn't know. Although it is said that it is impossible to catch the bus from Kunming to Lijiang, there is a seat and a car. This gave Qin Zhen a lot of surprises.
I thought that this way I had to climb snowy mountains, cross grasslands, and walk mud pills in Wumeng...... Qin Zhen is already ready for the long march. Unexpectedly, this condition is not bad!
The mountain road is rough and difficult to walk. After a few hours of turbulence, Qin Zhen found that the snickering joy he had just made was completely unnecessary.
They got off the dilapidated minibus and walked down the mountain road. During this time, Yudong was still looking behind him from time to time, and he didn't know what he was waiting for. Could it be that you can still wait for Taxi here?
On this question, Qin Zhen asked Yu Dong directly. Unexpectedly, Yudong looked at his watch and said, "It's almost noon, there should be someone who wants to go home for dinner......"
"What, what went home for dinner?" Qin Zhen hadn't understood what was going on. Behind him, there was a distant cry of 'moo'.
Qin Zhen looked back and saw that it was an ox cart. Not to mention, maybe this family is really a wealthy family, there are a total of three cows before and after...... At this time, he was slowly and leisurely rushing towards a few of them.
Qin Zhen turned his head and glanced at Yu Dong, which means: This is what you are waiting for, gentlemen??
Although Yu Dong didn't answer, he gave a kind smile to the three cows not far away that he wouldn't have for people. This can be regarded as affirming Qin Zhen's thoughts.
In this way, after Jiang Qi took the lead in going over to 'communicate and bribe', the old man who was driving the car was very happy to invite the four of them to his ox cart.
The four old men who are not short will seem a little aggrieved and crowded when sitting on this ox cart. But it can't be helped, it looks like it's good to catch up with an ox cart!
Qin Zhen looked at the increasingly desolate mountains and mountains around him, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh bitterly. I feel a deep emotion in my heart! My heart said that I actually got on the ox cart today, man! ! I often scold people with this sentence, but I didn't expect to practice it myself today!
Getting on the ox cart is indeed a curse in old Beijing. This is basically the same concept as saying, "Let's go to the Crane Year Hall and buy knife medicine".
There were many incidents of abandoned babies in the old society, and some of them were because they were born illegitimate and could not be raised. Part of it is because the family is poor, and there are more than a dozen children, and they really can't afford to support them.
And there was no 'convenience' in those days, was there no such thing as the 'convenience' of today? The roads are plastered with strange ways to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Even if it is really unfortunate that it fails, then there are still a bunch of hospital advertisements on the taxi advertisement!
"Professional painless for 20 years, the conscience of the industry. No surgery, no pain, leave in half an hour, and never delay work...... "Looking at the door of the gynecology department of the hospital, there are rows of little girls who don't even have ID cards...... It can't be helped, this is an era of moral decay and declining world.
At that time, there was no such phenomenon of 'conscience in the industry'. If you are pregnant, you will either give birth or send it to the nursery.
There are holes in the walls of the nursery, and there is also a bell next to the hole. Of course, it was either this kind of bell in Qin Zhen's hand, or an ordinary copper bell.
The foundling puts the child in that hole and pulls the bell. As soon as the people inside heard the bell ring, they knew that someone had sent the child. Pick up the child from the hole right away. In the process, we don't see each other or talk to each other.
In fact, thinking about this regulation, it is still more considerate and humane......
Because whether it is abandoning or strangling one's own flesh and blood, it can be said to destroy human nature. No matter how big the reason and difficulty are, you can't do this evil thing openly.
That can't be, this knock on the door, someone comes out inside. The abandoned baby handed the child over, and then held his head high and politely said, "Yo, you're early." Come, give this to you, this is my own son. It's just that I can't feed it anymore, so I strangled it to death. This dead kid needs to be dealt with with with by you. What a bother! β
β¦β¦ It can't be like this, can it? Therefore, it is better not to communicate with each other in this kind of behavior. So as not to be embarrassed.
This nursery is specially equipped with ox carts, which will go out to pick up the baby's corpses every day at dawn. If the child is not completely dead, try to see if it can be saved.
There was a large wooden box on the ox cart, and there was a hole in the back of the box, and this hole was the place where the baby's corpse was placed directly. There is also a yellow cloth plaque hanging on the hole, on which are written the four big characters of "Land Cihang".
So in those days, the old Beijingers did use "getting on the ox cart" as a curse. The meaning is nothing more than that the ox carts are all dead children, and not only dead children, but also illegitimate children that no one wants, or who are strangled. So this scolding can be regarded as vicious.
knows this reason very well, which is why Qin Zhen is so emotional. But fortunately, there was no box at the back of the ox cart, which made him feel more comfortable.
But there is no one like each other. Some people are delicate and care more about things. But there are also people who are rough and have no taboos!
Let's take Lao Gu for example! Qin Zhen knows, he knows. But not only did he not have any aversion to the ox cart, but he also hummed a little song with great interest!
I saw that he was holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and while looking at the empty mountains and forests in the distance, he sang happily "Walking on the country road, the old cow returning at dusk is my companion......"
Qin Zhen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, sincerely admiring Lao Gu's big-hearted Cheng dΓΉ is definitely unprecedented! If you have a little longer heart, it can't be like him.
