The Land of Ghosts - Thorny Joy (middle)

After a thousand years, the tile houses in the Daze Mountains are connected, the crotch tile tribe has become a unique scenery in the Daze Mountains, although there are few fertile fields on the mountain, but there are a variety of grains planted, the fruit forest is the most, there are sweet fruits in summer, there are red bananas in winter, and the grass in the mountains is fertile, and the people still raise cattle and sheep in captivity. And the millennium can reach the vicissitudes of the sea, and Daze Mountain is much richer and more beautiful than it was back then.

Since the first generation of the Crota people, no one has ever been out of the mountain, people still know that there are human beings in the outside world, but Zu Xun said that their clan is to avoid the war and fled here, outside the mountain is a foreign country, they believe in the god of Crota Mountain, and think that it is also God's will to protect the Daze Mountain.

The only thing that remains unchanged is that the women in the mountains still do not have any status at all, because they cannot communicate with the outside world, so marriages are also carried out between neighbors, women are very rare at the beginning, so they are several dolls with different surnames share a mother's parent, but these dolls may also marry each other after adulthood, so all year round, the crotch people are like the "son of Zhurong" in the heavenly palace fight, and the babies who have survived are few, and the children's physique is worse from generation to generation, Gradually, the resources of Dazeshan can no longer meet the growth needs of the children, and what they are most in need of is salt.

More than 500 families are entrenched on the mountainside, all you can hear on weekdays are the shouts of the men, and you have never heard the noise of the women, the women here can really stay in the room all the year round, hard work, although they are illiterate (in fact, the men are not very literate, because the group of thieves and men were all hooligans and grasshoppers, and they are illiterate), but they are good at embroidery and weaving, and their temperament is too docile, and they are very diligent in keeping things at home.

Women have three opportunities a day to get together and chat, it is after breakfast, noon and dinner, but the rules in the mountains, women can not play, because the woman's sharp voice will anger the crotch mountain god, this group of ignorant mountain people were so "ruled" by the nonsense made up by the group of thieves for thousands of years, they have no ability to believe, because they live in the mountains from life to death, and there is no basis for judging right and wrong, in their cognition, the broken temple that is a few feet high is the gods.

The girls finally appeared again, they got together after breakfast, it was the nature of children to play, although they could not laugh and play like boys, but the girls could still secretly gather behind the house or in the woods, do some little fun things, or beat the back of their hands like boys, or play some "not excessive" hide-and-seek, a little game, perhaps the best memory that these girls can recall in the future, because after marriage, they completely lost their freedom.

The two girls leaned together, and the big girl whispered: "Qingqing, I overheard my father's speech last night, and my father seems to be going down the mountain." ”

"Why?" Qingqing's face was frightened, "No... Don't die, you will be punished by God if you go down the mountain. ”

"Not only my father went, but many uncles went, there was no salt in the mountains, my younger brothers were getting weaker and weaker, and if there was no salt, my father said that the younger brothers would not grow up." When the girl said this, she probably didn't notice that her own body was thinner and smaller than the so-called brother, and she was covered with skin and bones, probably like that.

Qingqing girl was so frightened that her lips trembled slightly, and she said, "No, God will be angry, and we will be punished." ”

"The uncles have been kneeling down to worship the temple every day since two months ago, and they should have asked for the favor of the god of the crotch mountain."

"Outside... Woo... It's horrible out there. "Qingqing girl is really timid.

After a few sticks of incense, the girls were about to go home, and their toys were nothing more than a few bright wild flowers on their heads, but before entering the house, they had to be picked off and thrown into the corner, and if they were found, they would not be scolded. The girls don't feel that they are right, under the influence of years of thinking, men are inferior to women, and even women are slaughtered by others has become a matter of course, at most they will secretly complain about why they are not men when they are sad.

There is indeed no salt in the mountain, and the men do choose to go down the mountain, which is a big thing, they have knelt down to worship the temple since two months ago, and have taken out all the good things in the house, and have slaughtered rare cattle and sheep as tribute, these men are really afraid in their hearts, the outside world is like a black sea that eats people, and they believe that as long as they step out of the mountain, they will not be able to come back.

Therefore, the men who came out of the mountain were all old men, and there was not a single strong man, and they "ruthlessly" made their wives pregnant again within two months, renewed their roots, and then they gathered together as if they were going to die generously, and walked out of the mountain with crutches and trembling ropes.

This mountain road, which is only a few dozen feet away from where they live, has not left their footprints in fifty or sixty years, but today, they have walked up.

What the people in the mountains never expected was that this group of men rushed back that day, and brought a few buckets of salt water, it turned out that thousands of years have passed, the army that was once stationed outside has long been gone, and the war has happened countless times, the country name has also changed many times, the old man has gone, and there is another peaceful world outside.

It turns out that on the foot of Daze Mountain, there is a small town, there are nearly 3,000 households in it, the traffic is crowded and the attic is towering, it is a prosperous scene, and the reason why it is so prosperous is precisely because of the opposite bank of a river, which is the Phoenix City known as the golden land in this country.

When the old men in the mountains came down the mountain, they met people from the outside world, and they were trembling with fright, as if they had seen the devil, and they could only hug each other. The people at the foot of the mountain were also taken aback, wondering where this group of old men in tacky clothes came from, and they looked like "wild men".

The man called his companions, more than a dozen neatly dressed young men, looked around at these old men, and one of them came up and asked, "Old man, where are you from?" ”

After thousands of years, the language will also change, and the language of the mountain people is more like a dialect with a peculiar smell, but the meaning has been very different from the outside world, so the words of the guys, they can't understand it at all, and it also makes the old people feel that these guys are not people, but the devil in the mouth of the god of the crotch mountain.

An old man fainted in fright, and the old people shrank together and shivered, and after a long time, another old man shouted a word of salt, and all the old people continued to shout salt.

But the lads didn't understand it at all, when a woman walked by with two wooden barrels filled with brine. Women are not as "self-aware and humble" as women in the mountains, although the outside world also pays attention to male superiority and female inferiority, but shrews are also common, and this woman happens to be a hot person.

The woman walked up to the old man with a bucket, put it down, crossed her waist, and shouted in a loud voice: "You old men, where did you come from, don't be cheeky, dress like our little daughters-in-law's underwear!" Hahaha...."

Where did the old men in the mountains see this formation, they were frightened on the spot, and where did they think that this was a woman, this was clearly a bull, with big shoulders and a round waist, and that arm was thicker than their strongest guys in the mountains.

The old men were so frightened that they could not speak, and they could not understand what the women were saying, and the women became shepherds, driving the sheep to the old men, and the old men crawled and fled with their hands and feet, and finally they were so frightened that they cried together, like children.

The woman shrugged her nose disgusted by this picture, and opened her mouth to scold: "Why are you crying and crying, pretend to be tender in front of the old lady, shut up!" This howl shook the old men, and no one cried. An old man shouted salt again, and all the old men began to shout salt.

The woman was annoyed, and she carried the bucket and raised it, and the old men were splashed all over their heads, and smashed their mouths, and found that it was salty, so they knelt down in front of the woman like kneeling and begging for the temple of crotch tiles, crying and begging for salt water. The woman was startled, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and retreated, her face couldn't hold back, and she turned back embarrassedly to ask for help.

Finally, the woman went home and brought a few buckets of brine and gave them to the old men.

The old men took the buckets and ran for their lives as if they had to run into the mountains, and after a while they disappeared. And the people outside finally knew that there were still wild people living in Daze Mountain, which was terried and poor.

The old men returned to the clan, almost exhausted, they couldn't speak, their faces were very red, after a long time, an old man who took the lead cried: "There are monsters outside, they look very similar to us, but they can't speak our words, they say demon words." This undoubtedly added to the fear of the clansmen, and they knelt down in front of the temple of Crotch Mountain, begging the monsters not to come in.

After the old men returned home, without exception, they beat their wives and daughters for no reason, and they cried bitterly and begged bitterly to be satisfied, they were frightened by the woman outside, and they needed to beat their women to regain their dignity and confidence.

But the salt water was soon gone, and there was no salt in the mountains again, so in order to survive, the men decided to risk their lives again, and the old people went out, but the number was much smaller than last time. The outside world gathered many strange people, and there was no shortage of poets and officials, who showed great curiosity about unknown things, and waited for the wild man to appear again, and when the old people walked out of Daze Mountain again, the small town and the nearby Phoenix City were all stirred.

Since then, Dazeshan is no longer far away from the world, and gradually known to the outside world, the people outside are very friendly, give clothes, and give food, but everyone who wants to explore the crotch people is resolutely rejected by the crotch people, and in the eyes of the crotch people, they are still dealing with the devil.

Gradually, young men can also go down the mountain, they exchange the fruits of the mountains for salt and meat from the outside world, and at the same time always watch out for their defenses, in the interaction, they know the existence of words, know that there are pigs and horses in the world, and even they gradually become familiar with each other's language, and gradually understand that these devils outside may also be human beings, and they may be no different from people outside, but there is one thing they can't accept, that is, women outside are not like women, not like "toys".
