"Quick! Let me see. "I immediately jumped out of bed.

Lantern Xiao pointed to the bronze bin placed on the table and said, "Can you see it yourself?" ”

I first crouched down and looked at its surface, and it was no different from what we had just seen, and when I looked at it, I didn't find any strange symbols.

I stretched out my hand to serve the bronze coffin, and suddenly found that it had been filled with water for the Lantern Festival, which made me a little strange, so I asked the Lantern Festival, "Why are you pouring water into this?" ”

Lantern Xiao smiled, "Didn't you learn the refraction of physical light when you were in junior high school?" "Lantern Xiao told me that when he observed this bronze coffin at night, he found that there seemed to be some words engraved on the edge of its interior. This discovery made Lantern Xiao very surprised, and he had long heard that the ancients would record some things inside the vessel.

Generally, the events recorded in this way are some secrets, or some relatively obscure historical facts. Therefore, Lantern Xiao wanted to see clearly, but the handwriting could be on the inside of the container, and the abdomen of this coffin was still a little protruding, and only a little trace could be seen from the mouth.

Lantern Xiao tried many ways to no avail, and suddenly he saw the pot of water on the table, and also remembered the refraction of light. In the end, I succeeded in seeing what was inside.

Listening to the Lantern Festival, so I also looked inside along the mouth of the cup, and sure enough, I saw a symbol vaguely refracted under the water surface, I reached out and picked up the flashlight next to me, and shone it into the bronze coffin, under the action of light, the symbol in the water became clear, just like the one we had seen before!

I looked at Lantern Xiao for a moment, then suddenly got up and walked out the door, and Lantern Xiao asked behind me, "Hey! Where are you going? ”

I replied without looking back, "I'm going to find Anado's father, I want to know where I got this thing, maybe this is our destination!" ”

I opened the door and walked outside, and saw that it was already getting dark. I walked around the house and didn't see Anador's father. So I had to go back inside and see Anador coming down the stairs with a basin of water.

I asked her, "What about your father?" ”

Anadore looked at me, "I'm going out, I got up early and there was an old problem with my grandmother in the neighboring village, and my dad went over!" ”

"Huh?" I was a little disappointed, "So when will he come back?" ”

"I don't know, maybe in the afternoon, maybe in the evening, maybe." Anador looked at me a little strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Are you sick too? ”

I shook my head, "It's okay, it's okay. Well, I, I just want to reconfirm with him the last time I met my second uncle. ”

Anadore shook her head helplessly, "What should I do, that's it, I also know, I was there at the time." Do you think you can't trust me? ”

"No, no!" I waved my hand again and again, Anado's father couldn't count on it now, if he offended this little aunt and grandmother again, then no one would take us at all, so I quickly said, "It's best if you can take us there!" ”

"That's it!" The water in the Anador basin was emptied, and then he turned to us and said, "I'll prepare breakfast for you, and without further ado, let's go as soon as possible!" ”

After breakfast, we got our gear ready. I remembered what Anado's father had just said, so I asked Anado, "Did you know that there was a mudslide in a nearby mountain last year?" ”

Anaduo listened to my words, groaned slightly, and nodded randomly, "Well, I seem to have heard of it, but does this have anything to do with finding your second uncle?" ”

"Probably there is." I replied.

"What kind of relationship is there?" Anado's intellectual curiosity seems to be very high, and he must have been a good student back then.

I frowned slightly, "This matter, if I explain it to you, it will be a long time, let's not waste time on this." Let's go first, and we can talk about the rest as we go. "I can only say this for the time being, the time constraint is one thing, and the most important thing is that I haven't figured out how to explain it to her at all.

Fortunately, after listening to my words, Anador didn't break the casserole, but just looked at me, and then said, "Then what do you want to know?" ”

I said to her, "I just want to know where the mudslide happened back then, and the more specific the location, the better!" ”

Anado listened to my words and nodded slightly, "Okay, it's okay to leave this matter to me." You come with me! ”

After that, Anaduo took me to find the more prestigious elders in the village, and in the Miao language, they called such elders Ata, or Anet Nenggong.

I stood aside, and Anaduo exchanged words with the old man in Hmong before turning around and telling me, "There was indeed a small mudslide in the nearby mountains at the end of October last year, and there was no one nearby at the time, so it didn't cause any damage, but it just destroyed the road, which is probably near Baishiding." ”

So I asked Anadot, "Do you know where the white stone top is?" ”

Anador thought for a moment, "Well, I've been there once, and I probably know the location!" ”

Hearing her say this, I suddenly felt a little drumming in my heart, "Sister, this is not a joke, are you sure?" ”

"Do you have any other choice but to trust me?" Anador winked at me, and after saying that, he pulled me and walked back, "Let's go, if you don't set off, your second uncle will really be in danger!" ”

Our plan was to follow Anadot to the place where they and my second uncle met back then, and to see how it was going to be first. If we don't find anything, we'll look around the white stone top and look for it again.

After the plan was formulated, we picked up our equipment and went on the road, Anado was dressed neatly, carrying one of her shoulders on her back, and pinning a Miao hook knife to her waist, which looked very sharp. Anadot told us that the knife would often be carried when she and her father went up the mountain to collect medicine. The Miao language calls this kind of hook knife Menggao.

100,000 mountains, belonging to the southwest of Guizhou mountain system of Goukou Mountain, the mountain range is northeast-southwest trend, more than 100 kilometers long. The altitude is not too high, basically at 700-1000 meters, and there are many peaks of more than 1000 meters.

There are the best places for the growth of tropical monsoon forest in Guangxi in the mountainous area, and there are many varieties of tropical and subtropical plants. The 100,000 Mountains are an important climatic dividing line in the southern part of Guangxi, and the climate difference between the north and south slopes is quite large.

The journey was not uneventful, but we really experienced the hardships of the herb pickers, and generally good quality herbs grow in inaccessible places. Therefore, the route of the herb pickers is also very steep, although this way down is not far, but it still makes me and Lantern Xiao tired and out of breath.

In about half a day, we arrived at the place where Anador and his father first met my second uncle. It was a relatively gentle hillside, and Anador pointed to a tree above the hillside and said, "It's there, the place where I first saw Qiu Ya was released!" ”

We looked in the direction Anadot pointed, and the woods were above the hillside near the top, and it didn't look too dense, but we still couldn't see inside.

I waved my hand, "Let's go, go up and have a look!" So we went up the hillside and entered the woods, but we found that the rocky veins here, the feng shui trend, even the vegetation cover is nothing special, which makes me a little strange, why did the second uncle come back here?

If the second uncle came here to find something, then why did such a bland forest attract his attention? Was it just because he happened to be passing by? Or maybe the answer will be on the other side of the mountain.

Thinking of this, I walked to the top, wanting to see the situation on the other side, and at this moment, Lantern Xiao suddenly patted me and said, "Look, what is that?" ”

Following the direction he pointed, I looked up and was immediately shocked. Because I saw that in the direction of the Lantern Festival, under the shade of the trees, there seemed to be a strange thing standing not far away.

We walked in that direction curiously, and gradually I could see the thing clearly, but at the same time I felt a spirit in my heart. The thing standing not far in front turned out to be a stone figure with a rough carving, in fact, it was not only me, but Lantern Xiao and Wenmo were also stunned at once, and they were all stunned in place.

Anado followed us and walked up to us, looked at the stone man, then at us, and then sneered, "Look at you three big men, one stone man, and you scared you like this?" Then he shook his head, and looked like he was about to take a step forward.

I immediately grabbed her, "Stop! That thing could be dangerous! ”

"Danger? What are the dangers? Anado looked at me in surprise, "We can occasionally dig up some stone men and stone horses in the mountains, nothing unusual. ”

I shook my head slightly, "This kind of stone man is not like the stone man you see!" ”

Although it is relatively old, and the facial features and some carved lines of the stone figure have long been weathered and cannot be seen clearly, we can still clearly see two carved depressions on the top of its head and navel, similar to a small hole.

Anador still seemed a little amused when she heard my words, but she closed her mouth when she saw the three of us with particularly serious expressions.

I looked at Wen Mo and Lantern Xiao, "Is this stone man that thing?" ”

Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said, "I feel like it! ”

Wen Mo also nodded, "Looking in this direction, I can see that the top of the stone man's head and navel have been opened, but I don't know that there is a wood anywhere else." ”

Listening to Wen Mo's words, my heart suddenly pinched, because this kind of stone people left us with extremely bad memories, and I can still clearly remember their names at that time - Five Tricks Stone Man! Outside the island tomb, we almost died!

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. At this time, the three of us couldn't help but be alert!
