Chapter 60: Conspiracy
When he finished drinking, there were immediately villagers around him holding a wine jar and an earthen bowl to pour wine.
The meaning of this move could not be more obvious.
I took the wine from a villager and didn't drink it immediately.
Instead, I turned my head sideways and looked backwards, then drank the wine directly from the bowl, and then turned the bowl upside down.
"Good wine."
There was not a drop of wine left in the bowl.
And Xu Jinxiu followed closely behind, and also drank all the wine in the bowl.
Seeing that Xu Jinxiu and I both acted like this, the rest of the people also drank the wine in front of everyone.
Jin Mingxian saw that we had drunk, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "It's really refreshing, come and continue to serve our honored guests." ”
I turned around and walked back, and as I sat down, I briefly touched Xu Jinxiu's hand.
A small licorice pill just fell into my hands.
This sweat medicine is a powder made by grinding mandala flowers after drying them, which will make people lose their mobility.
But the solution is not difficult, you only need to press a piece of licorice under the tongue.
The cold is quite heavy in the battle, and generally the people who go down to the fight will bring some licorice products when preparing medicine.
Therefore, the most important thing in the team is licorice products.
Sweat pills are not a threat at all.
On my right is the black dragon, "There is an old man surnamed Pu in this village, who may be able to lead the way, but I don't know where he lives." ”
"Got it."
The black dragon nodded, and then picked up a bowl of wine.
When the people in the village saw that we had drunk the spiced wine, they were a little less vigilant, and they didn't pretend that they didn't understand Chinese.
The black dragon had a straightforward temper, and he took a bowl of wine and "staggered" to the group of villagers.
He picked up the wine bowl and touched it lightly on the wine bowl of a villager, and then drank it all.
When the villager saw him eating a bowl of wine, he gave a thumbs up and said in a somewhat lame Chinese, "Good amount of wine, good amount of wine." ”
The black dragon and the villagers pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and soon they were all drunk, and then the black dragon seemed to have no intention of speaking, "We went to this mountain to pick up the scenery, this place has many mountains and waters, I don't know what good places to go?" ”
A villager blushed and waved his hand, "Where is there any fun here, this mountain is dangerous, we don't dare to enter the mountain easily, or Uncle Pu is powerful, there is no place in this mountain that he can't go!" ”
A gleam flashed in the black dragon's eyes, and he continued, "Who is this Uncle Pu?" Where to stay? ”
The villagers in front of him had a hint of clarity, and the black dragon hurriedly took the wine vessel on the side and poured another bowl of wine for the man.
The half-held man took a few more sips of wine, and seeing that he was a little drunk again, the black dragon continued the question just now.
The villager's face was flushed, and he shook and spoke, "Uncle Park is a weirdo in our village, he lives in the north, and he has to climb two mountains......
"Boom!"
Before he finished speaking, the man was already drunk and unconscious.
However, this information was enough, and the black dragon stood up and muttered, "No, I'm drunk, I'm drunk, I have to go back to rest." ”
He "staggered" forward, and immediately two villagers behind him supported him.
Seeing this, I understood that the time had come, and immediately took care of the dizziness and slowly followed behind the black dragon.
When I arrived, Heilong was sitting on the couch, and there was a little drunkenness on his face, "I have already inquired, that Uncle Park lives behind two mountains in the north." ”
I nodded, waiting for Xu Jinxiu and them.
It didn't take long for a group of nine of us to return here "drunk" one after another.
In the small room, there are people lying on their backs.
In the end, the villagers who sent Liu Bao and them back threw people to the ground, and Jin Mingxian came with them.
"Fainted?"
"Fainted."
"Let's do it."
As soon as Kim Mingxian's words were finished, I noticed that someone had taken a rope and put it on my hand.
The next moment, I opened my eyes directly and kicked directly on the heart of the person in front of me, and I used at least seven points of force to kick that person down.
The villagers of Sangmiao Village were completely unprepared, and they were subdued in three or two clicks.
Jin Mingxian was so frightened that he stepped back, "You, why are you all right......"
Liu Bao turned his head sideways and spit out the licorice slices in his mouth, and then stepped forward with his waist crossed, "Just such a little trick and want to fix your grandfather and me?" ”
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bao directly tied the nine hemp ropes that were originally used to tie us, and tied them one by one like tying zongzi.
I took two steps forward and looked straight at Jin Mingxian, "We have no grudges with Sang Miao Village, what do you want to do after thinking about it for so long?" ”
Jin Mingxian was tightly tied up by Liu Bao, and his actions became a problem at the moment, he looked urgent, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”
I scooped up a piece of unused hemp rope from the ground, "The rope is ready, or misunderstood." ”
"That's it, I still trust you so much."
Liu Bao was also indignant on the side.
Jin Mingxian was stiffly spoken, he lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, "This respected friend, we were also coerced." ”
Kim doesn't look like he's lying.
I crouched down and asked, "Coercion?" ”
Jin Mingxian nodded hurriedly, "There is a group of mountain bandits in our mountains, they are fierce and vicious, not only robbing our village of food, but also asking us to do things for them, if they are disobedient, they will be killed directly, we, we can't help it." ”
Liu Bao leaned aside and was not angry, "Then what does this have to do with us?" ”
Jin Mingxian hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Some time ago, they suddenly found me and said that they needed nine people to bury the elders alive!" ”
As the name suggests, the burial of the living is to take the living to perform the so-called sacrificial ceremony, but these various sacrifices are extremely cruel.
They were sacrificed!
Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little wrong, Jin Mingxian was a little hesitant but still stubbornly spoke, "They promised me that as long as I found nine people to bury the elders alive, they would not come to the village to harass them for a year." ”
The black dragon leaning on the pillar on the side suddenly sneered, "Heh, the lives of the nine of us are worth a year." ”
I looked up at Kim Mingxian, "Then do you know what that old singer is?" ”
Jin Mingxian didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately replied, "I only heard that the singer is more than 100 years old, but he is still like a young man, and they are in the north." ”
Hearing his answer, I was thoughtful.
The north side is exactly the direction of Uncle Park's residence, if we don't solve this group of mountain bandits who hit us with their ideas, it may leave hidden dangers, and these more than 100 years old are still like young adults, I want to see it.
"How about we have a discussion?"
Jin Mingxian was stunned by my words, but he didn't dare to disobey, "What do you need me to do?" ”
I smiled a little, "I want you to tie us up and send us on an errand, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." ”
……
Overnight, the ox cart drove us into the mountains, and the rough mountain roads had not even entered the interior, and the complex terrain was confusing.
After a long time, the bullock cart finally stopped at a cottage, which was brightly lit, apparently after a long wait.
Jin Mingxian took a deep look at us, and then ran to the door of the cottage and knocked on the door.
"Open the door, I've sent someone here."
Without two clicks, a group of people came out of it.
The person at the head was wearing a unique national costume but it didn't look like a Korean ethnic group, it was a bit similar to the Miao ethnic group, and he saw a touch of disdain on Jin Mingxian's face, "Why are you so slow to tie up a few people, delay the big thing, be careful of your village!" ”
Jin Mingxian hurriedly explained, "Don't dare, Wu Zudao, you don't know that people often come to this mountain, not to mention that there are nine at a time." ”
Wu Zhuqi glanced at Jin Mingxian and snorted coldly, "According to what you say, or is it my fault?" ”
Hearing this, Jin Mingxian hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, of course it's my fault." ”
Wu Zhuqi immediately raised the horsewhip in his hand, "That's not going to get out of here!" Waiting to eat the whip? ”
Jin Mingxian stretched out his hand to block it, nodded and walked back, and looked at us again before leaving.
The middle-aged man, known as Wu Zhubei, wandered leisurely to the ox cart, his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks looking mean, and the eyes that looked at us were like looking at livestock.
I frowned, suppressing the discomfort in my heart.
Wu Zhuqi counted around the ox cart, and after confirming that the number of people was correct, he beckoned backwards, "Come and search a few people, but don't let them bring anything in." ”
After the so-called inspection, we were allowed to enter the village, and as the ox cart slowly drove in, I could see the village clearly.
The inside of the village was as brightly lit as the outside, and on either side there was a long procession of women and children, all of whom were in the prime of life, dressed in characteristic costumes, with delicate symbols painted with white paint on their faces, and each holding a torch in his hand.
If this posture hadn't been tied up and transported in an ox cart at this moment, I would have thought it was some kind of welcome ceremony.
"Chen Ping, look at that totem, it's very strange."
Xu Jinxiu's voice came from behind me, and I turned my gaze to the totem she was talking about.
The totem was extended to the stone tablet, which was too conspicuous.
According to the totem represents the right of one party, it is normal to use the mythical beast and bird of prey, and the totem of this village is also an animal, but the animal has two small ears, and the body is smooth and small, and the more you look at it, the more familiar it is.
"I'm not going to be a weasel, isn't it?"
Liu Bao's voice also came from the side.
I looked at the totem again, and really, helplessly, said, "Is this considered a tie, I was forced to jump off the cliff by it before, and now it has something to do with it." ”
Wu Zhuqi noticed our movements, and immediately struck the horsewhip in his hand in the air, letting out a "Bang!" "A bang.
"Be honest with me, or the whip will fall on you."
We stopped talking, and the ox cart slowly drove out of the stockade, but in a different direction, towards a large cave.
There are countless stalactites on the top of the cave, each large and small is tied with a red belt, and there is an underground river in the cave, and the temperature in the whole cave is terrifyingly low.
The temperature difference between inside and outside the cave was huge, and even I couldn't help but shrink back, I looked at Xu Jinxiu, "Are you okay?" ”
