Searching for traces in the middle of the night, all the way without stopping.

By the time they came back to their senses, the three of them had already lost their sight of where they were.

At this time, a burst of fire suddenly lit up in the dark forest.

Little by little, it lit up and then joined together, and finally surrounded the three of them in the middle.

Some tiny bamboo tubes poked out of the darkness, and more than a dozen black holes faced the three of Bai Song.

Bai Song was taken aback, he didn't expect so many people to lure the enemy deeper.

The situation was a little bad, and Bai Song reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife on his waist.

And Ah Ling suddenly raised her hand to stop: "Don't act rashly, this is the blow arrow of the Miao hunter, once it hits, you will see the blood and seal your throat, and it is too risky to do it." ”

After speaking, Ah Ling stood up and said, "Don't do it, I'm a Miao person." ”

Ah Ling's words obviously caused a discussion among the crowd behind the dense forest, and the bamboo tubes shook slightly.

After a while, a man gradually revealed in the darkness.

Wearing a turquoise Miao vest, he was still wearing shorts on a cold day, and he could see a strong muscle under the firelight, which seemed to be smeared with some kind of oil and wax, reflecting the firelight and crystal clear.

"Miao people? Which stockade? ”

The other party looked at Ah Ling's clothes, which was undoubtedly the dress of the Miao people.

Immediately, Ah Ling said the name of a village in Miao language.

The standard Miao once again dispelled the guardiness of a group of Miao people.

The other party raised his hand, and all the bamboo tubes in the dark were put away.

Then a group of Miao men appeared in the field of vision one after another.

"Our house is not far from Batu Ancient Village, why haven't we seen you?"

"Ten years ago, I went to the Central Plains." Ah Ling replied.

The other party looked at Ah Ling suspiciously, looked up and down for a long time, and then asked, "Why did you bring outsiders into Miao Jiang?" ”

"This is my friend, we came back this time because we heard that Miao Jiang was in trouble, so I returned to Miao Jiang in the hope of giving some help to the clansmen."

Ah Ling found a very clever reason, and did not cause greater hostility.

"Trouble? What's the trouble? ”

"Have there been a lot of outsiders breaking in lately? And some of them are among them? ”

Alien.

Ah Ling's words obviously poked at the secret in the hearts of Miao people, and the crowd instantly began to talk.

They whispered in Miao language, which Bai Song didn't understand at all.

But Ah Ling whispered to Bai Song on the side: "It seems that the people of the Holy Lotus Sect and the people of the Japanese Kingdom have entered, and maybe there are still some Han people." The team of so many people will only appear when Miao Village is in trouble, and we are already late. ”

Bai Song didn't say much, and now he only relied on Ah Ling to negotiate.

The Miao people discussed for a while, and the man led by him asked again: "You are just three people, what ability can help us solve the trouble?" ”

Bai Song took out the crossbow he had snatched from the Holy Lotus Sect, aimed at the trunk of the tree on one side, and then pulled the trigger.

The power of the cross crossbow instantly shocked these Miao people, and then they all looked at Bai Song vigilantly.

Bai Song handed over the crossbow to Ah Ling, who then handed it over to the Miao people.

When the Miao people looked at the crossbow, Bai Song said, "If you are interested, I can give you the method of making this thing." With this, you will certainly be more prepared to fend off foreign enemies, at least better than the blowguns you are now using. ”

The Miao people looked at each other, and the crossbow that could be regarded as a treasure by the Holy Lotus Sect naturally aroused the interest of the Miao people.

The Miao people did not rush to give a reply.

On the side, Ah Ling said: "We have no malicious intentions, we just passed by here and are ready to return to my village." ”

Some of the Miao people gave the leader an affirmative look.

The leader returned the crossbow to Ah Ling and nodded, "Come with us." ”

Bai Song and his party followed the Miao people's team.

Led by more than a dozen Miao men, he walked through the dark jungle and walked step by step to the depths of Miao Jiang.

I don't know how far I walked, until a ray of morning light appeared.

Bai Song's vision also suddenly became clearer.

They came to a brook in the woods, the water was babbling and crystal clear, and the surrounding area was not a forest that shaded the sky and the sun, but a green meadow.

Bai Song, who had traveled for a long time, instantly felt a sense of relief.

Going down the stream, I soon saw the ancient village of the Miao people, half in the grassland and half in the dense forest.

When they arrived at the gate of Miao Village, the leader asked Bai Song and the three of them to wait outside, and he wanted to ask the patriarch for his opinion.

Bai Song and Qing'er were very curious, and looked left and right.

Inside the village, Miao girls and children were also watching them.

Bai Song asked, "Why do you all speak Chinese?" ”

Ah Ling explained: "The Chinese language has spread in Miao Xinjiang, and many Miao villages have to trade with Han people in exchange for some necessary items. Moreover, this is the outermost village in Miao Jiang, and the young people all speak Chinese, and only some elderly elders can only speak Miao dialect. ”

"That's ......"

Bai Song sighed, and suddenly saw a girl from the village winking at him, smiling as if she was conveying some kind of ambiguous appeal.

Bai Song saw it.

Qing'er also saw it.

Soon, Qing'er stood between the two and grabbed Bai Song's arm.

This Miao village has three entrances and exits, and there are high guard towers on both sides.

The watchtower was always manned, with bows and arrows in hand, and seemed to be very guarded.

Ah Ling said: "Something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"In my memory outside, I have never seen such a guard in Miao Village. It was already very strange for a team of more than a dozen people to go out together, and looking at the eyes of those men on the watchtower, I guess something happened in Miao Village. ”

During the discussion, the door of Miao Village opened.

The previous leader came back and said to the three of them, "You can stay in the village for a while, but you can't leave the village during this period." Our people will go to Batu Ancient Village to deliver the news, and when the time comes, there will be people from Batu Ancient Village to meet you. If there is no opinion, you go in. ”

The situation seems to be the same as in New Tang City, but the range of activities is much smaller.

Bai Song looked at Ah Ling.

Ah Ling whispered: "Listen to them, regret it at this time, but it will arouse the vigilance of the other party." ”

Bai Song did not hesitate and replied: "No problem." ”

The three men followed into the stockade.

Miao Village is not big, up and down two streets, separated by a stream.

No more than 40 households before and after.

The arrival of the three caused a sensation in the village, and more and more Miao people came to watch.

Bai Song felt like an orangutan in a zoo.

"Didn't they all speak Chinese? also traded with the Han people, how could it be like never seeing the ears of the Han people. ”

Bai Song asked in a low voice.

"Trade is also the Miao people to the Han city, very few Han people come to the Miao village. Many of the Miao people in the depths of Miao Xinjiang have never seen Han people in their lives. ”

"Hey, where does that man live? Let him live in my house. ”

A girl stood at the end of the stream, following all the way, waving to Bai Song across the water.

As soon as the voice came out, the girls laughed coquettishly.

There were also many Miao girls who had returned home and changed their costumes in a hurry, waving to Bai Song from afar.

Qing'er was still jealous just now, but when she saw that the men in the village were the same, a pair of hot eyes stopped at her and glanced at her, each bolder than the other.

Qing'er was a little scared and hid behind Bai Song.
