Chapter 268: Li Li Village
When I was talking to Suxi Mijia about the ghost town, I accidentally slipped my mouth and let them know that I was going to Yunnan, and then they didn't let me go. (No pop-up ads) asked me to bring them with me for anything, and when they saw that I was embarrassed, they were busy assuring that they wouldn't make a mess.
I thought about it for a while, and the content on the stele only mentioned that I needed to go to Yunnan to find a ring, which should not be as dangerous as the ghost town of Xudu, so I nodded and agreed.
When Brother Kidnapper heard that Mi Jia wanted to go out for a walk, he also raised his hands in approval, saying that he had almost recovered and was completely able to take care of himself, and he didn't need Mi Jia to worry. Let's be honest. I am really happy to see the kidnapper brother like this, at least the previous events did not leave any gap between their father and daughter, otherwise my sin would be too great.
After Yang Hao heard that I was going to Yunnan, he just jokingly said: "You have to come back if you have a mission!" "Obviously very supportive of me going. I'm very gratified. Liu Jin also clamored to follow, and said that he stayed in the dormitory of the police station all day, and he was about to give birth to mold, in fact, I also wanted him to go out with us to relax, but his injuries had not healed, so he had to give up.
However, I think this matter still has to be discussed with Nan Lei, but after he returned to the mountain, his mobile phone has not been able to connect, and he did not explain the return date to me when he left, I waited for him for five days, and he still did not come back, I was worried that it would have an impact on Suxi if it dragged on, so I was ruthless at the moment, packed up my things and took Suxi Mijia to embark on the train to Yunnan.
Got off the train. We took a car, walked, inquired all the way, and it took two days to arrive at a small village in Yunnan, which is the small village mentioned on the stone tablet - Lili Village. With the experience of Xudu, I kept an eye on my back all the way, but I didn't notice anyone following us.
We were greeted by a young girl of the Miao ethnic group. Sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a sky blue short sleeve on the upper body and a denim hot pants on the lower body. She called herself Abei, and said that the outsiders who came here were all received by their family, and I later learned that her mother was the patriarch here, similar to what we often call the village chief.
The patriarch of the Miao tribe should generally be held by a man, but I don't know why it is Abei's mother here.
Next to Ah Bei, there is also an old woman with a wrinkled face and a slightly hunched waist, it seems that it should be the more conservative faction in the Miao people, and she is still wearing their Miao characteristic clothes.
Unlike the innocent smile when Abei looked at us, the old woman's gaze always gave me a feeling of gloom. Mi Jia and Su Xi said that I was too careful. I can only laugh, after all, it's just a feeling.
It's a very small village, there are no hotels or anything like that, and we walked for most of the day when we finally entered the village, and it really took a lot of effort to find it.
Because it is so remote, tourism here has not been developed, and there are few outsiders. Occasionally, a few tourists came here, and Abe's mother entertained them in their home. Like previous tourists, we stayed in an attic on the east side of Abe's house.
After Abei left, Mika looked at me and asked, "Are you sure that the stone tablet you saw describes this place?" It's so remote here, not only there is no hotel, but there is no supermarket restaurant, so inconvenient. ”
Originally, I wanted to joke with her, saying that this was a black shop, and if she was scared, she could go back first. But when I think of the old woman just now, I can't help but shiver, and to be honest, it's not impossible.
At this time, Abei walked in and brought us some fruit, saying that we should rest for a while and eat it later. Looking at Abei's appearance, I feel that most of the people here are still very simple, and the murder of people and goods should not happen.
I nodded, and when I saw that Ah Bei was about to go out, I hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Ah Bei, that, can you take the liberty of asking, why doesn't your mother-in-law seem to welcome us very much?" ”
Ah Bei shook her head and explained: "No, my mother-in-law didn't diswelcome you, but in the past two days, some strange things have happened because of the arrival of some people, so she will look at you like that." ”
I was stunned, why didn't I come yet, and something strange happened?
I quickly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
When I asked this, I saw that Su Xi and Mi Jia's faces also showed worriedness.
Ah Bei looked out a few times and saw that there was no one around the attic, so she said cautiously: "Recently, a few people have died inexplicably in the village, and I can't find out what the cause is when I send them to the hospital, and this incident happened just after that group of people came." ”
"What group?" I asked.
Ah Bei shook her head: "I don't know, that group of people were all received by my grandma, I didn't see it, you guys rest first, and when it's time for lunch, I'll come over and call you." ”
I took advantage of the fact that Ah Bei hadn't left yet, and quickly asked again: "Could it be that someone in the village is using Gu?" ”
In fact, I just asked casually, because when it comes to the Miao people, people will naturally associate it with Gu art. However, as soon as the words came out, I regretted it a little, I seemed to have heard that Gu has always been a taboo for the Miao people, and it is taboo to talk about these things with the living.
But I didn't expect Ah Bei to care, just shook her head, and replied with a smile: "The boss will laugh, Gu is just a feudal superstitious thing, it is all misconducted by people outside, how can there be such a thing in the world?" ”
Seeing Ah Bei say this, I didn't ask any more questions, and quickly let the little girl out.
And after she went out, Mi Jia's face changed, frowned and said, "She didn't tell the truth." ”
I was stunned, I didn't know what Mi Jia meant, looking at the little girl dressed up just now, she should have been a person who had already walked out of the village, and it was normal to not believe in these mysterious things, but why did Mi Jia say that she didn't tell the truth?
"She has Gu in her body." Mika continued.
Hearing what she said, I couldn't sit still, I don't know if I don't know, deliberately concealing it is another matter, this Ah Bei's image in my heart changed instantly.
Su Xi gently grabbed my hand and persuaded me: "Senior, don't worry too much, maybe people have something unspeakable?" Besides, when we meet for the first time, how can people sue you for such a thing? ”
I sat down, but the look on my face was not relaxed, and I asked Mijia, "How did you know that she had Gu on her?" It can't be a guess, right? ”
Mi Jia shook his head and replied to me, "No, I also have Gu in my body, so I can feel it." ”
I sighed in my heart, that's right, there is a powerful ecstasy Gu in Mi Jia's body, although Su Xi helped her suppress the Gu worm, but it has been living in Mi Jia's body, so it seems that Mi Jia's words will not be wrong.
In the rumors, Gu is a thing that catches a lot of poisonous insects, and then lets them kill each other in a confined and narrow space, and the last remaining one, after the secret method of the Gu cultivator, becomes a Gu worm.
Therefore, if Gu worms and Gu worms meet, they will definitely react, and there will even be the possibility of fighting each other.
The moment I understood this truth, I was more wary of this small village, but I didn't find the ring, but I gave myself an explanation here, and even let Su Xi Mijia and the others be hurt. At the same time, I remembered that the innocent little girl just now was a person who was very deep in the city, and I felt uncomfortable all over my body.
At lunch at noon that day, I had an extra heart and let Mi Jia feel it first, but Mi Jia told me a news that surprised me extremely much, that Ah Bei's mother-in-law also had Gu worms on her. The three members of their family present, except for the father of Abei, who seemed to be silent, none of them were ordinary people. Winter hall low-skilled.
I was so frightened that I almost didn't dare to put down my chopsticks, for fear that I would fall into some trick from others, and as soon as I fell asleep, I would sleep forever.
After lunch, I took the two of them around the village, first, to observe the topography of the stockade and make it easier to act; The second is to get acquainted with the people in this village first, and then inquire about the ring.
After hearing our plans, Abei said that she had nothing to do anyway and offered to be our guide. Although I have some shadows of Ah Bei now, I am quite willing to have a girl who takes us on a tour of the mountains and rivers for free. Moreover, there was a local with us, and we walked through the plug so as not to arouse the scrutiny and suspicion of others.
After getting off the train, although we have been on the road, we have seen enough scenery along the way. Yunnan is indeed a very beautiful place, it is really beautiful mountains, beautiful water, and beautiful people. I remember that in the old days, this place was called the south of Caiyun, also known as Colorful Yunnan.
Not far outside Abei's house, there is a clear stream flowing through it, the stream is about half a meter deep, and there are many sixteen or seventeen-year-old children in the village playing in the water.
Just as we were enjoying the scenery by the creek, suddenly a rapid cry came.
We turned our heads to look, but there was a person looking for Abei, and Abei followed the child for a long time, speaking in Miao language, which I didn't understand at all.
But at this moment, I also knew that Mi Jia was right to me, the people in this village, even if they are not seedlings, are not much different from seedlings.
The Miao people are actually a later concept, and the ripe seedlings are the Miao people who have been sinicized a lot. They spoke Chinese, wore ordinary clothes, did the same things as the Han Chinese, went to school, went to work, and received industrialized things.
The seedlings are different, the seedlings still rely on hunting and a very ancient way to live, and there is very little contact with the outside world, there are still their clan rules in the village, but this kind of village is too few, even if there are occasionally one or two, all of them are in the deep mountains and old forests, and people outside can't see it.
Those seedlings are the most terrifying storage among the Miao people, proficient in witchcraft such as Xia Gu, and most of them have a very strong temperament, once they are provoked, it will be a big trouble.
Looking at it now, Abei's village should be in the transition from raw seedlings to mature seedlings.
I watched Abei talk to the boy, Abei's face kept changing, and in the end, Abei's innocent smile turned out to be gloomy and dripping.
When they were done, I leaned over with some curiosity and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" ”
Ah Bei squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "There are dead people in the stockade again." ”
