Chapter 1 Blood-fed Giant Worms
Western Sichuan Province is located in the northwest region of China, known as 'Jiuli' in ancient times, the mountains in the territory spread, except for the capital Rongcheng with the mountain basin landform, the land is fertile and the farming civilization is long, most of the other cities are built on the mountains, often the suburbs are the mountains and mountains, since ancient times it is the place where the barbarians live and raise.
He County, Hengze City, West Sichuan, is a small city that seems to fall into the primeval forest, developed from the ancient Miao Yi Mountain Village, the original people's livelihood is the most poor, but in recent years, with the economic take-off of China, the people are rich, open to the outside world and lively, the exploration tourism industry is flourishing day by day, but by virtue of the geographical blockage, the magnificent natural scenery that has not changed since ancient times has gradually become rich.
In late autumn, the weather is overcast and cold, and the bright but unwarm sunlight at noon shines on the stone road of Yuwo Village, Damu Town, He County, reflecting patches of shadows.
In the distance, dozens of sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, dressed in half-used school uniforms, walked along the stone path along the shadows of the branches and leaves of the trees beside the roadside, playing and playing.
If they were born in a big city, teenagers of their age would have been tutoring day and night, and they would have endured endless pressure in order to be admitted to a good university and have a good future;
The stubborn ones have learned to fall in love, smoke, drink, fight, and some of those from well-off families have even become regulars in nightclubs.
However, in this remote mountain village, which has been rendered a little more impetuous by more and more travelers, the teenagers still look simple and unpretentious.
It's a pity that the simplicity and unpretentiousness do not represent kindness and peace, especially the village of Ouwo has been a place where the Chinese and Yi people live together since ancient times.
"Big egg, listen to my father, the network base station will be built in our village soon, and then we won't have to go all the way to the town when we go online. ”
"You are dreaming, the network company can come to our corner to build a base station, that is not a fool. ”
"Why can't you come to our village, we are the province approved what 'natural ecological folk tourism area', there are donkeys all day long, donkey friends come to our village to see the scenery, even foreigners are tired of seeing it, now there are foreign old men to teach us lessons, why can't even a network cable." ”
"You see that you have a low IQ, the travelers are all rich people, people use satellite Internet access, and they also use base stations, and there is no network to make our village 'natural', do you know what is called pure natural?
You, you, just like your daddy's nickname, are a 'rough stone'. ”
"You dare to scold me, and call me a rough stone, I, I'll give you an 'eye cannon'. ”...
On the stone road, a few arrogant half-sized boys talked and argued, and a square-faced boy with a huge face like a square melon and small eyes like broad beans was the last to blush-cheeked and thick-necked to do something with his companions.
But carefully speaking, it is not strange that this square-faced young man is annoyed, the villagers of the eagle's nest are mainly Miao Wei people, the young man's name is Tong Pushi, which is the real surname in the black, white and red in the original three branches of the Miao Wei tribe.
Parents gave him such a name, the original intention was to be afraid that the child would die of jealousy, and he relied on his name to make a living, and when he grew up, he was naturally ashamed, but his anger could not be sent to Daddy and Eminem, so he could only beat people up when others called him.
Ordinary students saw that Tong Pushi was really angry with his face and thick neck, and he couldn't help but feel weak, and maybe it would be okay to soften it if he said a few words, but this time the black fish who spoke disrespectfully to Tong Pushi was not weak, and he rolled up his sleeves without showing weakness, and scolded like a cockfight.
Seeing that the usually stubborn Pu Shi and He Flail Black Fish were about to fight, the honest children on the way out of school had already hid aside, and the stubborn companions of these two not only did not dissuade them, but laughed and shouted in unison.
"Stone, give him a melon baby's eye, and he will know how powerful you are when he sees red. ”
"Blackfish, I haven't heard the old saying that the first strike is stronger, the first to do it, the first to do it is not to suffer. ”...
Instigated by his buddy, Qi Pushi roared, and a punch was thrown out, but he didn't expect the thin black fish on the opposite side to jump off the stone slab flexibly, dodge his swift blow, and kicked sideways with a kick that happened to Ji Pushi's ass.
Holding a hip and moving the whole body, Ji Pushi's punch did not hit the enemy, but because of the force on the buttocks, he couldn't hold his hand, and punched in the face of an innocent young man who was walking seven or eight steps away and didn't know what was happening.
The innocent young man's body was thin, his cheekbones were high, and his face looked like he was all over the place, and after being punched unjustifiably, his nose was bleeding continuously, and he was completely stunned.
"Mountain, mountain worm, what, why did you hit you," Seeing the thin young man's face with blood on his face, Pushi's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he stammered, but then the young man's peculiar childish vanity made him realize that he must not weaken his momentum now, so his tone became arrogant again: "Why are you blocking in front of my fist."
Are you in the same league as the black fish, hum, you don't have long eyes, and you deserve to be beaten. ”
The thin young man who was punched for no reason heard the provocative words of the square-faced young man, came back to his senses, didn't say anything, wiped the nosebleed on his face, and ran away with extremely fast steps.
Behind him squirting, there was a stumbling voice, "Stones, mountain insects are nothing, but his father is not joking, your baby shouldn't be so hard." ”
"This is the age of satellites in the sky, you still believe in those feudal superstitions, go and see "Into Science", how can there be ghosts and gods. Although Pu Shi's mouth was hard, his tone had obviously a hint of regret.
Others don't understand, but although he is young, he is a serious 'old seedling', and he understands very well that in a barren land full of jungles and poisonous insects, he dares to use the word 'worm' as his milk name, how can the boy with the big name Zhang Lisheng be easy.
The surname Zhang is Wu, Long, Zhao, Ou... Teng, Hu, Xiang and other twenty-seven Miao Wei Hua surnames, although not the three old surnames of Miao Wei, but also inherited more than a thousand years, especially in the Miao Wei Hua surname, legend Zhang surname since ancient times has held the witch Gu Taoist system, naturally and other families are a little different, so that in the west of Sichuan Miao Village, the surname Zhang travelers are particularly popular, less harassment.
On the stone slab, Pu Shi felt remorseful, but Zhang Lisheng, who was punched by him, ran away without any distraction, and after a while, he came to an old mansion with an old peach door along the village road.
Because the village is located in the deep mountains, the summer is humid and mildewy, and the winter is cold and cold, so the village used to be bamboo buildings, and in recent years, the environment has improved, and it is also a imitation bamboo building that is built, and the four corners of the foundation are built with high cement pillars.
This kind of old brick and stone house with a bit of the ancient style of the Central Plains of China makes people feel a little unusual.
The door lock of the ancient house is a square branch lock made of brass, Zhang Lisheng opened the copper lock with the key hanging around his neck, and after entering the courtyard of the old house, he used two heavy door latches to bolt the wooden door firmly.
"I finally came back a quarter of an hour ago," Zhang Lisheng, who pulled the wooden door hard, saw that the door was tight and had not stopped all the way, and then he took a few quick breaths, and muttered with some joy in his mouth.
Then he began to shake his head and "hiss, hiss, hiss..."
Zhang Lisheng's chanting sounds meaningless, the length changes rapidly, there is no pattern at all, but it gives people a creepy sense of rhythm.
As the sound became more and more urgent, a very thin bulge began to appear on the yellow earth in the courtyard of the old house, swaying back and forth, and when Zhang Lisheng's screaming stopped abruptly due to lack of strength, a thumb-thick, black and red rope suddenly broke through the ground, like a living thing, and climbed up the young man's body along his right leg.
If you look closely, the rope is actually a huge centipede with a length of more than 50 centimeters and a black and red luster on its back.
The centipede had a flat head, black bean-like eyes were black and bright, revealing spirituality, and the two black fangs on the side of the lips showed a very hideous meaning, and after a while, they climbed onto Zhang Lisheng's face.
"Blood, there is blood," Zhang Lisheng saw the centipede gently rubbing against himself at the lower end of his nose, and he was not afraid at all, but grinned and whispered: "Eat quickly and don't waste it." ”
As if he understood the young man's words, the giant centipede no longer made love to him, circled its body in a U-shape and slowly moved down from under his nose, and all the blood that flowed out of Zhang Lisheng disappeared even if it dried up.
The centipede began to eat blood, and the boy relaxed and sat down on the ground.
But soon after the smile appeared on his face, he felt dizzy, and his throat was "uh-uh...", but he couldn't vomit anything, and after a while his face was pale like a dead man.
Zhang Lisheng, who used to feed only a few drops of centipede essence blood every time, realized how stupid his opportunistic method was, it was simply self-defeating, but at this moment it was irretrievable, and he could only pray to God to let him survive this catastrophe.
How painful and frightened Zhang Lisheng was, how happy he was with the poisonous insects he raised with flesh and blood, the centipede that ate the blood of the young man, the bent and terrifying body emitted a glimmer of heroism, and the head and tail were swinging together, completely ignoring the flesh and blood on the owner's emaciated body, and gradually sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming skinny and bone-like.
Fortunately, when Zhang Lisheng's frightened and stunned eyes were about to lose their protruding eyeballs, the centipede finally ate the blood he flowed out, and the graceful young man rubbed intimately, and finally gave him a chance to breathe.
Zhang Lisheng's whole body was weakly paralyzed on the ground, slowly recovering a little vitality, and his skinny body gradually swelled up like an inflatable doll, although he was still thin and humanoid, but at least it was no longer as terrifying as a skeleton with skin.
Grabbed the centipede from his face with all his strength and threw it to the ground, Zhang Lisheng said hoarsely: "Qinghong, you almost killed me, this time you ate so much flesh and blood, you must be obedient, you can't let me be scolded by Daddy again, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." ”
Speaking of his father, thinking that the morning's 'homework' had not yet been done, the young man shuddered suddenly, as if he felt that the soreness and pain from his weak body were not so difficult, and hurriedly recited the ancient mantra again: "Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The incantation sounded again, and the centipede on the ground began to shake its slender body strangely, and thousands of slender feet crawled around, but they did not follow the young man's mind.
