Chapter 353: Here is the Grass Ghost Woman!
After eating, the leader said, "I'm going to tell them to prepare a bonfire for the evening, so you can play by yourselves."
When he went out, the fat man approached me and asked, "Meridian, do you say that the place we are going has anything to do with the prince he said?"
It turned out that the fat man also thought of this.
I shook my head, "I'm not sure, it's just a lot of things that can only be found in local legends!" We all know the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Shangbao, but we don't know if it has anything to do with this place!"
Tang Lian said, "If it was related, then someone should have been sent down to verify it a long time ago, we have never heard of it."
I also have this suspicion, if this is a rest stop into the mountain, even if there are not many people coming, there will definitely be, and when the head person talks about the origin of Yueling Village, he is also with a kind of pride.
Not everyone who has been here will not be impressed.
But just like Tang Lian said, why hasn't the outside world heard of it?
If the above archaeological research history is known, someone will definitely come to verify it.
But no!
That's kind of fun!
I said, "Forget that for now, let's rest here for the night and get ready to go into the mountains tomorrow."
I don't want to delay here for too long, after all, it will take a long time to enter the mountain, and if there is no news from my master and Tang Tiande, we will have to move on to the next place.
All of us are a little tired, we used to toss and turn in the Gangtou Township Guest House, and finally arrived at this kind of soothing place, so it is better to seize the time to sleep and rest.
Tang Zuo went out for a walk to see how the others were, Tang Lian and I, and the fat man, so we went back to our rooms to wash and sleep.
Sure enough, this is a good place to recuperate, lying on the bed, the surroundings are quiet, and even the occasional sound of talking and sheep cries seems to make people feel at peace, and they fall into a deep sleep unconsciously.
This night, I didn't even have a dream, I slept deeply, and when I woke up again, I was woken up by the knock of the fat man at the door.
When I opened my eyes, it was already dark outside the window.
I got up, rubbed my eyes, stretched, and opened the door.
The fat man squeezed in, smiling and carrying a hint of early spring chill on his body.
"Meridian, don't sleep, the head of the outside has asked people to light a bonfire to roast the whole sheep!" The fat man said.
"Is it so grand?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, listen, almost all the people in the stockade have come out."
I pricked up my ears and listened for a while, and sure enough, I heard laughter, but it was not noisy, but with an indescribable joy.
"Hurry up, I'll go first!" The fat man said and turned around and went out, "You go and call Tang Lian!"
I put on my coat, took a sip of water, and then went out to the next door.
As soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened, and Tang Lian was already dressed.
"You're up early?" I asked.
Tang Lian took the door and walked out with me, "I haven't been asleep outside, the fat man came out so much, I woke up early!"
I laughed, "yes, he's the weight he wears on the floor like a rolling machine!"
When they came out, they saw a large fire in the middle of the stockade, and a few men, under the command of the leader, lifted a slaughtered sheep and put it up.
There were many Miao people dressed in costumes, all with smiles on their faces, busily setting the table and serving dishes, and the youngest looked to be over forty years old.
Almost all the people who stayed here in Yueyazhai came out, the number was not much, twenty or thirty people, and our arrival made them like a festival.
I also saw people bring their unique instruments and play them, and a few women were already dancing.
"It's so lively!" Tang Lian exclaimed, the flames reflected in her eyes, jumping like starlight.
"Let's go!" I was also infected by the atmosphere, so I grabbed her and ran over.
"Meridian! Come on!" The fat man had already run to the middle and danced along, with a chubby round body
, which seems to be particularly joyful.
"There you go!" I sent Tang Lian to the front, and watched her run over and join in, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.
I walked over to the head man and watched the scene with him.
The leader laughed, "It's been a long time since we've been so lively!"
I smiled and nodded, "I've never seen such a lively scene!"
"Why don't you come from a big city? I've heard from children that big cities are very lively, with a lot of people, a lot of cars, a lot of fun, and more food!"
"The bustle of a big city is different from here!" I honestly said, "The excitement here is more pure and happy! The bustle of the big city is just an illusion of a large number of people, everyone has to work and study, and there is a lot of pressure, even if they are rushing through the road, there is no smile like everyone else."
The head man was obviously a little surprised, as if it was the first time he had heard someone say this, but he was only briefly surprised before resuming his smile.
This night, the whole Yueya Village was full of laughter, and a few elderly grandmothers also opened their voices and sang the mountain songs of the Miao people.
When it was over, I returned to my room and it was already midnight.
The campfire in the square was still burning, but the surroundings were already quiet.
It seems that the air is still filled with the laughter of the past, and it slowly fades away in the dead of night.
This night, when I lay on the pillow, the corners of my mouth were still raised, and I closed my eyes and savored it, and before I knew it, my consciousness gradually blurred.
Suddenly, my ears moved, and there seemed to be a sound.
From the morning to now, all the sounds are familiar, but now the ears are a little strange.
It is a "rustling" sound made by a small mouse crawling by.
And I'm certainly not a little mouse, because when a mouse passes by, there will be no such "rustling" sound.
I opened my eyes, and in the darkness, the moonlight outside was bright, shining in through the window, reflecting the shadow of the window on the floor.
A very small black shadow flashed through the window, and the shadow hit the wall of the doorway, and I saw it squarely.
I turned my head to look at the window, the moonlight was thick outside, and the bamboo leaves outside the window were swaying, but there was no shadow.
I immediately sat up and waited quietly for a while, and the previous "rustling" sound was gone, followed by an indescribable "rustling" sound.
This sound......
I thought about it, and it seemed to be the movement left by something crawling across the grass.
Is it a snake?
I got up, walked to the window, and looked out.
Outside the window was the mist of the mountains, which looked hazy in the moonlight.
The surrounding green trees and bamboos gently sway with the mountain breeze.
The sound was gone.
In other words, I am afraid that I will think that I heard it wrong, or that some small animals are passing by, after all, this is a mountain.
But I couldn't be mistaken, the sound of the mountains, whether it was by chance or on purpose, I knew very well.
So, I just stood motionless in front of the window and listened quietly.
Suddenly, another dark shadow flashed past my window.
My eyes narrowed, and I immediately turned around and went out, and ran back in a few steps into the yard.
But when he got to the back, there was nothing, and he walked in the direction where the black shadow had left.
I'm pretty sure I was right, but the thin black shadow was a bamboo.
Does bamboo wander around by itself in the middle of the night like a person?
Apparently impossible.
Then there is only one possibility!
There's a grass ghost woman here!
I walked around to the front and looked across the street at the house with the gate closed during the day.
The door just slammed shut!
There are people there!
