Chapter 32 Chapter 32: Deep Mountain Gu Seedlings

Two weeks into the semester, the scholarships were all distributed, and Bai Xiaozhou failed the final exam. Fortunately, he didn't hang up the red light, so he could only look at the students who received scholarships, feeling jealous.However, based on her experience, it is already very good to be able to pass. Some people in the research institute were happy and some were sad. Qu Siqi failed a subject, which was English; Zhu Yikai was still as happy as ever; although Ye Buer was usually shy and timid, he was absolutely unambiguous in the exam, and his grades were comparable to Zhu Yikai's; Qin Zheming Claiming that he failed more than half of the students, and yelling "Shuangzai", it is said that he got a nickname of "Jade Face Shura", and became famous for a while.

"Siqi, how did you do in the exam?" Zhu Yikai began to feel sorry for Qu Siqi as soon as he entered the door. The poor boy who failed the exam had half of his face darkened: "I will be in a hurry with anyone who asks for the exam in front of me again!" Zhu Yikai laughed, put a huge backpack on the table, found yellow paper from the cabinet, and began to draw various spells, some to repel insects, some to ward off evil spirits, and so on.Bai Xiaozhou asked: "Are you going on a long trip?" "It's not too far away. Take a trip to Guizhou." Whenever Zhu Yikai talked to her, his tone would become gentle for no reason.Bai Xiaozhou seemed quite interested: "Just you?"

"That's right, it's one person every time." "I'll go too." She said excitedly, "I've been in a civilized society for a long time, and I still miss nature a little bit." "Okay." Zhu Yikai smiled, "I'll take you to buy equipment later." Seeing the two of them singing in harmony, Qu Siqi was very upset, and turned his face to look at Ye Buer who was sorting out the books: "Fuer and I will go too." Ye Buer was taken aback, and for some reason he involved himself: "Uh... Siqi, in fact, I have been..." Qu Siqi stared at him before he finished speaking, so he had to keep silent.

"It's so fresh." There was something in Zhu Yikai's words, "Didn't you always say that you didn't want to go to the forest to suffer? You also said that I was a fool who asked for it. Why, the sun came out from the west today?" Qu Siqi pretended to be stupid: "Have I ever said such a thing?" Ye Buer wanted to say yes, but he gave him another look. The two of you kept arguing with each other, but Monk Bai Xiaozhou and Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. Why did these two people look more and more like flirting? They couldn't be gay, could they?

"Okay, since you've changed your sex, I'll make an exception and take you there." Zhu Yikai smiled innocently, but Qu Siqi felt his scalp tingle for a while. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to punish me?No, I have to take preventive measures and act first. "Do you want me to write an extra copy of these talismans?" Zhu Yikai raised the cinnabar pen in his hand. "No need!" Qu Siqi also took out a pen and paper, "I can write myself!" Bai Xiaozhou leaned over, and it was obvious that his level was not good, and the talismans he drew were weird, and he said that ghost drawing talismans insulted ghosts. I don’t know which martial arts novel said that big disciples are often useless, and it really makes sense of.

Just after school started, Long Chuxia had a lot of things to do. Hearing that the four of them were going on a trip, she patted Zhu Yikai on the shoulder: "With you here, I don't worry." Qu Siqi was very dissatisfied with this. Garland's body finally turned into water, and the liquid was collected and confiscated by the police, without saying where it was sent; Qin Zheming was still picking up girls while taking on the job of forensic autopsy; the four carried equipment that was taller than a person , I left as soon as I said, and just got on the train to Guizhou. The carriage was still crowded as usual, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat, foot odor, body odor and instant noodles. Zhu Yikai spread a layer of plastic on the seat, and the expression on his face was very stiff along the way, trying not to touch the table in front of him. .I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Qu Siqi bought a bag of potato chips, and while eating, he told stories with joy, and the crumbs flew around. If it wasn't for the beauty, Zhu Yikai would have thrown him out of the car.

"Kaizi, you don't have to take the train with us." Bai Xiaozhou couldn't see it, Zhu Yikai managed to keep smiling: "It's okay, I can hold on." Bai Xiaozhou still couldn't figure it out, how could he get into the mountain with such a serious cleanliness?Who goes to the mountains and isn't covered in dust and mud? It still takes several hours to get from City C to Guizhou. Bai Xiaozhou drank too much water and urgently urinated. She squeezed through the vast crowd and finally reached the toilet. There was a long queue in front of her. She wanted to cry but had no choice but to wait obediently.

While waiting anxiously, she saw a man standing in front of him, wearing ordinary clothes, holding a small rattan box in his hand.Rattan boxes are not common these days, so she couldn't help looking at them for a while.It just so happened that someone squeezed over from behind and touched her. She lost her balance and jumped towards the man, right on top of the rattan box.The man was shocked, and quickly put the box into his arms.Bai Xiaozhou hurriedly apologized, but heard a rustling sound, which seemed to come from the box.The man was a little surprised, hugged the box even tighter, and looked at her suspiciously.

"What's in this box?" Bai Xiaozhou asked casually, and the man became more vigilant and looked at her coldly.She was a little embarrassed, just as the person in front came out of the toilet, she said, "Don't you want to go to the toilet?" "No more." The man spoke with a serious accent, and he couldn't tell where he was from. He picked up the suitcase, hurried away, and quickly disappeared into the vast crowd. What a weird person, Bai Xiaozhou solved the problem, just squeezed back into his seat, when he heard noise from the carriage behind. "What happened?" She stood up and looked around.

"I don't know, maybe it's just grabbing a seat again." Qu Siqi couldn't stop talking, and started eating chicken feet with pickled peppers again. There was a lot of noise, Bai Xiaozhou wanted to go to have a look, but there were too many people to squeeze through.Not long after, news came from behind. "There's someone dead in the back," someone said. "Killed?" "I don't know, he just died. The strange thing is that the man was very thin, but his belly was swollen. People sitting around him said that his belly was not so big when he first came up."

"It's not poisoning, is it?" "What kind of poison is so powerful?" "It can't be Gu..." Before he finished speaking, the person next to him stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense, don't you think it's too long?" Gu poison?Bai Xiaozhou remembered playing in the Miao village when he was a child, and heard from the old people in the Miao village that those Gu poisons are really powerful, and only the Gu seedlings understand that they can easily kill people, and they can even make people die miserably. How bad can it be to die?She asked her grandfather before, but he always laughed and changed the subject. Later, she saw a lot of records about Gu poison on the Internet, and it was indeed very scary. At that time, grandpa was afraid of scaring her. "Don't meddle in your own business." Zhu Yikai said, "Gu Miao people are not easy to mess with." Bai Xiaozhou agrees. Afterwards, there was a commotion for a while, and I don't know if the marshals removed the body, and finally calmed down.Bai Xiaozhou was admiring the scenery outside the car window while grabbing Qu Siqi's potato chips to eat. Suddenly, there was a "pop", as if he stepped on something, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a scorpion. The scorpion is scarlet, not big in size, and the sole of the shoe is covered with green pus. This is on a train, how could there be scorpions?Xiao Zhou looked around and felt that a pair of eyes full of anger and malice were staring at him viciously, as if he wanted to cut himself into pieces. "What's wrong?" Ye Buer asked. "Nothing." She kicked the bug aside and continued eating.When they arrived at the nearest platform, the body was sent down. This is a big station, many people got off in a row, the carriage gradually became less crowded, and someone was heard chattering about what happened just now. "It's really weird. I watched his stomach swell up little by little, as if he was pregnant." "Yeah, yeah, and I saw something crawling in his belly." "It must have been a Gu." "Hey, don't mess with Gu Miao's people if you mess with anyone, they will take revenge, and they will never show mercy." "I heard that they will come out regularly to harm people. It won't hurt after a long time, but the poison will come back." "It's better to kill them." "Hush—" Someone made a silent gesture, "Aren't you afraid that the person who made the Gu is still there?" With that said, everyone shut up and did their own thing.After spending a sleepless night on the train, when he got off the train early the next morning, Zhu Yikai's face, which had been cloudy all night, finally began to clear up. After getting out of the car, the four of them had a quick breakfast, and the four of them started to enter the mountain, all of which were undeveloped areas. Zhu Yikai asked everyone to take trekking poles, and repeatedly told them to use the trekking poles to find the way before climbing, so as not to fall into the mountain. In the mountain well.Bai Xiaozhou has seen a mountain well before, it is the kind of bottomless hole, with vines growing on it, covering the hole entrance, if he accidentally falls in, he will be lucky if he breaks his arms and legs. Ye Buer originally grew up in the mountains, so naturally there is no need to worry; Bai Xiaozhou used to run up and down the mountains when he was a child, and it was not a big problem; it is Qu Siqi who, apart from climbing the mountains during spring outings in City C, has nothing to worry about. I have never been to any place. "No two, I will leave Siqi to you." Zhu Yikai said earnestly. Qu Siqi was extremely upset, hadn't eaten pork, hadn't seen a pig running? The scenery in the mountains is really different, it is the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, everywhere is full of vitality, magnolia flowers are blooming all over the mountains, the air is filled with the fragrance of green grass and soil, Bai Xiaozhou is very excited, as if he has returned to his lawless childhood.She began to miss everything about her childhood, the snow-covered forest, the wooden hut, the simple Miao Village... All her memories of the mountains are beautiful. At noon, the four of them rested under an old locust tree, and ate chocolates from their backpacks.Zhu Yikai spread out the map: "Today's itinerary is to cross the fourth hill of Shenglong Mountain and camp by the Luoyue River." He pointed out the mountains and rivers on the map, like a general dispatching troops, and Bai Xiaozhou felt his heart skip a beat. , lost his mind for a moment.Zhu Yikai raised her head, her eyes met, she ran away in panic: "The flowers over there are beautiful, I'll go and pick some." "Don't run away." Zhu Yikai instructed. There was a small river ditch a hundred meters away, and she waded through it, and there happened to be a large clump of magnolia flowers by the river, which were bright in color and rich in fragrance.She picked one, turned to look at Zhu Yikai, and found that he was also looking at her, with a gentle smile on her lips, her face turned redder, and she walked a few steps into the woods until she could no longer see him. The old pagoda tree gave up. Zhu Yikai...seems like he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.She looked at the flowers in her hand in a daze, but he is a child of a family, can his family take a fancy to her, a daughter of a poor family with unknown background, no skills, and many conditions? Oh my god, what was she thinking, Bai Xiaozhou slapped her on the head hard, scolding herself inwardly: Bai Xiaozhou, Bai Xiaozhou, please don't act like a nympho, please? A deep moan came from nowhere, and it was very clear in this empty forest.She looked around: "Who?" No one answered, she looked in the direction of the sound, pushed through the grass, and saw a young man in national costume lying on the ground, huddled up, head and feet touching, his face pale, his lips blue. Constantly twitching. "Hey, are you okay?" She ran over to help him up, and found that there were a few strands of black lines on his forehead that kept swimming, and her heart was shocked. This is not an ordinary poisoning, right?Could it be...was bewitched? "Hey, wake up?" She called in the young man's ear, the young man's body twitched more severely, and those black lines began to spread down. what to do?You can't do nothing, can you?But Zhu Yikai said that Gu Miao is not easy to mess with, and he will be punished if he is vengeful. If she cures him, will she offend Gu Miao?What if someone from Gu seedlings came to play Gu on her? She looked around in bewilderment, there seemed to be no one around, if she saved him, no one would know.She put her hand on the young man's forehead, and her pretty fingers began to be filled with tangled black threads.After a while, the young man stopped convulsing and his face returned to rosy, but she felt dizzy and almost fainted. Treating someone was too exhausting, she panted heavily, put him back on the ground gently, got up and walked back, but was grabbed by someone, she was startled, turned her face to the side, and saw the young man He was clutching his wrist, his eyes were foggy, and he seemed not fully awake yet. "Are you... a fairy?" She came close to his ear and whispered: "Yes, I am a fairy. You must remember that it was the forest fairy from Shenglong Mountain who saved you." After finishing speaking, she broke his hand and hurried back to the old locust tree Next, the three looked at each other: "Are you okay? You just ran 10,000 meters?" "Let's go." She carried the equipment on her back, but was almost overwhelmed by the equipment.Zhu Yikai was about to pick him up, but Qu Siqi rushed over immediately: "Can you still walk like this?" "Don't worry, I'm fine." She said anxiously, "Let's go, I'm afraid there will be trouble if it's late." Zhu Yikai frowned and grabbed her shoulder: "What happened?" Bai Xiaozhou looked at the three of them, took a breath, and said word by word: "I saved a person who was poisoned by Gu." The three of them were shocked, and there was a moment of silence. Zhu Yikai carried the equipment with one hand, and helped her onto his back with the other, carried her on his back and left.Qu Siqi followed behind, his teeth itching with anger.He scolded himself secretly: Damn it, it’s another step too late. The night in the forest was clear and cold, Bai Xiaozhou was sitting by the Luoyue River, looking up at the crescent moon hanging on the treetops. "Xiao Zhou, what are you looking at?" Bai Xiaozhou turned his face and saw Qu Siqi was holding a stick with a roasted sparrow on it, Bai Xiaozhou wondered: "Where did this come from?" "Ye Buer caught it." Qu Siqi pointed downstream, "He's catching fish now." She looked in the direction he pointed. Ye Buer was wearing only a pair of underpants, and he was looking for it in the river. He caught a big, thick, long fish. Amazing!Bai Xiaozhou sighed in her heart, through the moonlight, she seemed to see a dense layer of fine fluff growing on Ye Buer's smooth back.She was startled, but when she looked carefully, there was nothing. Did you read it wrong?She rubbed her temples. She was worried and frightened all day today, physically exhausted, and hallucinations are normal. "I roasted the sparrow." Qu Siqi sometimes shyly said, "It's coated with honey, let's taste it." "Thank you." Bai Xiaozhou took a bite, the taste was really good, Qu Siqi watched her eat happily.Suddenly I saw Ye Buer waving over there: "Come and have a look, there seems to be someone there." The three put down the things in their hands and hurried over. Sure enough, they saw a few lights in the depths of the dense forest, and they could vaguely see a few houses made of bamboo. "Why don't we go to the farm to stay overnight." Ye Buer said. "There are people living in this deep mountain?" Zhu Yikai was a little skeptical, but also curious, "How about it, Buer, you and Xiaozhou stay in the camp, and Siqi and I go over to have a look." Bai Xiaozhou immediately protested: "I want to go too." "I don't know what's there, it's too dangerous." "Don't you think it's more dangerous for the two of us to stay here?" Bai Xiaozhou looked around, the forest was as quiet as if there were no birds or animals, only the rustling of leaves could be heard. "Alright, bring more self-defense." Zhu Yikai touched his waist subconsciously, and Bai Xiaozhou knew that he must have his father's gun with him. The four of them packed up some knives and spells, walked through a locust forest, and suddenly appeared a tall village gate, painted with oil paint, colorful, and painted with many ancient and abstract images, like some kind of totem.The strange thing is that even though the lights are on in every room, the village is eerily quiet, not a single human voice can be heard, not even a cock crowing or a dog barking. "There's something wrong here." Zhu Yikai said, and Qu Siqi agreed: "We'd better go back." The village was very clean, and Bai Xiaozhou couldn't see any dirty things with all his concentration. When she was staring at these tomb-like buildings in a daze, a figure suddenly flashed past a certain window. "Someone!" She pointed in that direction and shouted. "Don't go there." Zhu Yikai stopped her, "Looking at the buildings here, it should be a Miao village. It would be bad if they were Gu seedlings. We are here to travel, so don't cause trouble." The three of them felt that it was reasonable, and walked towards the camp without looking back. Halfway through, Ye Buer suddenly stopped and said, "Did you hear anything?" arrive.Ye Buer scratched his head, and walked for a while: "No, there must be a sound." "What did you hear?" Ye Buer tilted his head and listened carefully: "The cry, the cry of a girl, is full of sadness." Before he finished speaking, he slapped Qu Siqi: "You are writing novels, and you are still 'sorrowful'." "Really." Ye Buer felt aggrieved, "I'm really sad, did that girl get bullied?" With a sound of "Puff", Ye Buer was sprayed with water all over his body, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the water.Zhu Yikai said solemnly: "This is the evil lotion developed by Teacher Long. I think you have been haunted by a fox. It would be better to spray it on." Seeing Ye Buer's wet appearance, Bai Xiaozhou felt that he did it on purpose. As expected of Ye Buer, Ye Buer had a surprisingly good temper and smiled foolishly.Back at the camp, they grilled and ate the fish they caught, and went back to their tents to sleep. Qu Siqi and Ye Buer shared a tent, and Bai Xiaozhou and Zhu Yikai shared a tent. Bai Xiaozhou is nestled in her sleeping bag, her mind is full of that weird village, she seems to have seen the totem on the gate of the village somewhere, but she can't remember it for a while, is it the Miao Village when she was a child? Tired all day, she fell asleep in a daze, dreaming strange dreams, she dreamed of the snake spirit many years ago, it hid in the depths of the snake bubble, died with a pair of eyes like fireflies. Staring at her deadly, eyes full of hostility and fear.Why is it afraid of me?Bai Xiaozhou wanted to ask, but couldn't make a sound, so he confronted it like this.In the end, it was still the snake spirit that was defeated, meandering across the grass and disappearing into the depths of the woods. Waking up from the dream, I don't know what time it is, the sky is still dark, and it's pitch black.She couldn't sleep anymore, and she was a little hot, so she got out of the tent to get some air.Under the moonlight, something seemed to flicker in the grass. She pushed aside the grass and saw a hairpin made of silver seedlings. The workmanship was rough, but the pattern was very simple. Her heart shrank suddenly, isn't this the totem on the gate of Miao Village? "Stick!" Qu Siqi's tent was suddenly pulled open, and he came out in a panic: "Xiao Zhou? Did you see Budu?" "He's gone!" Having known him for so long, it was the first time that Bai Xiaozhou saw him so panicked. Zhu Yikai was woken up by his loud voice, and checked Ye Buer's things with a dark face: "He has nothing. Bring, the sleeping bag is still warm, so it shouldn’t be far. Si Qi, didn’t you hear anything?” Qu Siqi's two sword eyebrows were tangled together: "I didn't hear anything, but that kid usually walks lightly, disappearing like a ghost, I'm really anxious to death." Bai Xiaozhou gently pressed his shoulder: "Don't worry, I have a clue here." After saying that, he sent the hairpin to him, and he was shocked: "I was abducted by the people in that ghost village. gone?" "Do you still remember what Bu Er said when you came back?" Bai Xiaozhou looked at the two teenagers in front of him, "He may have really heard something." Qu Siqi wanted to get the hairpin, but Zhu Yikai yelled, "Don't move!" The two were startled, his face turned black, and Bai Xiaozhou saw a trace of fear in his eyes: "Xiaozhou, you, do you feel any discomfort in your body?" Bai Xiaozhou shook his head strangely: "No." "If this hairpin really belongs to Gu seedlings, it must not be touched!" Zhu Yikai took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his bag, picked up the hairpin, and the silver chopsticks immediately became pitch black, as if they were made of ebony. "Toxic!" Qu Siqi exclaimed, grabbed her hand, and looked at her repeatedly: "You, are you okay?" Bai Xiaozhou didn't have any symptoms, and the left hand that held the hairpin was still as delicate and white as ever. "I'm fine." Bai Xiaozhou withdrew his hand, "It's important to look for Bu Er." Zhu Yikai pondered for a moment: "Is the walkie-talkie I gave you still there?" "exist." "Siqi, you and Xiaozhou are waiting for me here. I'll go to the stockade to have a look. If you need anything, please use the walkie-talkie." Zhu Yikai paused, "If I don't come back, don't come to me, and go back the same way immediately. .” Bai Xiaozhou wanted to say something, but was interrupted roughly by him: "Do you remember what you promised me before you came out?" "Remember." She looked at him with worried expression, "Everything is up to your arrangement." "Then be obedient." Zhu Yikai glanced at Qu Siqi, "If there is anything wrong with Xiaozhou, I will ask you." "Don't worry." He was rarely so serious, "Leave it to me." The moonlight is even colder, and the surrounding trees and seas are surging. Occasionally, small sounds can be heard from the grass, which may be some kind of snakes, insects, rats and ants.Bai Xiaozhou was sitting by the tent, watching Qu Siqi walking back and forth in front of her, shaking her upset: "Can't you calm down for a while? Your head is dizzy from shaking." "Are you saying that Bu Er was taken by the women in Miao Village and taken back to be her son-in-law?" "..." Bai Xiaozhou was stunned for a full minute, "This...with the same conditions, I'm afraid it will be difficult?" "But he is docile, obedient, and honest, so you can rest assured at home." "..." Bai Xiaozhou couldn't bear it anymore, "Are you still in the mood to joke at this time?" "Wait." Qu Siqi pricked up his ears, "Did you hear anything?" Bai Xiaozhou was a little nervous: "No way? Did you hear the woman crying too?" "No, it's the sound of many people walking around." He lay on the ground and listened carefully for a while, "A large group of people and horses are coming from the southwest, including horses. Quick, turn off the fire." The two hurriedly covered the fire with soil to avoid thick smoke after the fire went out. There was no time to put away the tent, so they had to put away the equipment and hurried into the magnolia flower forest to wait and see what happened. The footsteps are getting closer and closer. The moon tonight is very strange, with a faint red halo. The new moon and the blood moon are both ominous omens.In this faint blood-colored light, a group of Miao people walked through the woods and walked towards the stockade. This group of people is very strange, there are about a hundred people, but no one speaks, everyone has a gray complexion and dull eyes, like a group of walking dead.Under such a scarlet moonlight, this strange team was shrouded in a strange veil. "Too bad, the people from Miao Village have come back." Bai Xiaozhou said in a low voice, "Quickly tell Kaizi to leave immediately." Qu Siqi made a silent gesture, and waited until the team had gone far away, then took out the walkie-talkie and shouted anxiously inside: "Kaizi, the Miao people are back, run away if you don't want to die!" There was a rustling sound from the intercom, but no one answered. The two felt cold: "Kaizi! Did you hear me? Kaizi!" "Will something happen?" Bai Xiaozhou asked anxiously. "Giggle..." A woman's laughter suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, soft and charming, captivating, as if seductive.Bai Xiaozhou grabbed the walkie-talkie and said angrily, "Who are you? Where's Kaizi?" The laughter lingered endlessly like a curse, until the two of them lost their patience, then they heard a faint female voice coming from inside, as if they were humming a ditty full of ethnic minority customs. The female ghost was doing her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, but what was reflected in the mirror was a skeleton face. "Damn it!" Bai Xiaozhou was furious, turned around and left.Qu Siqi grabbed her tightly: "Where are you going?" "Go save people." "I promised Kaizi that I would take you back safely." Bai Xiaozhou slammed his hand away: "If you want to go back, go back by yourself. Without Zhu Yikai and Ye Buer, I won't go back." "Without you, what's the point of me going back alive?" Qu Siqi thought to himself. He didn't say this sentence, and he couldn't say it. He smiled lowly, and the moonlight shone on his face. His expression made Xiao Zhou slightly startled. "You're right, we came out together, so we should go back together. If we can't go back together, we'll die here together." He said these words so passionately that Bai Xiaozhou felt a ball of blood rushing in her heart. She nodded solemnly, and looked at the quiet forest around: "It's a beautiful story to be able to bury the bones here." Qu Siqi laughed wryly: "In my whole life, it's rare for me to go all out once." Bai Xiaozhou recalled the previous incident at Qu's old house, and thought to himself, didn't you try your best all the time? The two brought some portable things and hid other equipment in the magnolia flower forest, approaching the Miao Village cautiously. The village was still as quiet as a dead city, with no cocks crowing or dogs barking. After observing outside the gate for a while, the two sneaked in. Bai Xiaozhou suddenly pressed Qu Siqi's shoulder, and pointed to the stairs of a stilted building. It was Zhu Yikai's small flashlight, which was broken, and the bulb was broken into pieces. Also stained with blood. Both of them changed their faces, and they climbed upstairs, only to find that there was no one in the room, but it was clean, not even a speck of dust.A kerosene lamp was burning brightly on the table. Zhu Yikai's walkie-talkie lay quietly beside the kerosene lamp. Qu Siqi wanted to get it, but was held down by Bai Xiaozhou: "Be careful, I heard people from the Miao family say that if you encounter a house that is particularly clean and does not even have spider webs, you must be very careful, it may be Gu seedlings." .” There seemed to be a sound in the back room, the two were startled, and gently opened the door a crack, and suddenly saw a big dark and ugly face like a yaksha.Bai Xiaozhou almost screamed, she covered her mouth firmly, and after looking carefully, she found that it was a mask carved from wood, hanging on the wall.In front of the mask was an altar with three plates of bloody things on it, and a white candle on each side. The flames were constantly beating, illuminating the grimace in an uncertain and inexplicable way. Bai Xiaozhou suddenly remembered where she had seen the totem in front of the gate of the village. It was when she was still in the Miao village and mixed with the Miao children. The Miao village was just an ordinary young crop, but she had heard that there were You must not mess with other people, and you must not eat what they give you.At that time, she was not afraid of anything, she was a wild girl, and she wanted to go even more when she heard people say that, so she secretly lay on the window sill of that house and looked in, and found that there was such an altar in the house, and it was such an altar that was enshrined. A strange monster with totems painted around it. This is indeed the village of Gu seedlings! "Squeak—" With a long ending, the door was pushed open by Qu Siqi, and he went straight in. Bai Xiaozhou said in surprise, "What are you doing? Don't go in casually." As if he couldn't hear her, Qu Siqi walked towards the ghost mask step by step with light steps.Bai Xiaozhou turned pale with fright, stepped forward and grabbed him, he waved his hand, Bai Xiaozhou fell backward like a kite, smashing the wooden door to pieces. Pain, heart-wrenching pain, she felt her ribs must be broken, and her chest hurt like a knife stab, she struggled to get up, and saw Qu Siqi had come to the altar, looking at the ghost mask affectionately, as if looking at the most cherished people. At this time, the bloody thing on the sacrificial plate closest to him moved, and a blood-red triangular head emerged from it. snake! "Siqi, be careful!" Bai Xiaozhou rushed over, pulled out a half-foot-long short knife from his waist, and slashed at the snake's head.It was an emergency, and she exhausted all her strength, and the snake's head was cut off by her, and the black blood splashed everywhere. She hurriedly pushed Qu Siqi away, and the place touched by the black blood made a "hissing" sound, and burst into tears. Bursts of black smoke. Bai Xiaozhou was taken aback. Could it be that concentrated sulfuric acid was flowing from the snake's body? "Qu Siqi, have you lost your soul?" She slapped him twice, and Qu Siqi's eyes were still blurred and his face was turning blue.Bai Xiaozhou suddenly thought of those Miao people who walked neatly. Could it be that they were all bewitched by evil spirits? Following two muffled muffled sounds of blood and flesh, two red snakes crawled out from the other two plates, with skull patterns on their heads.Bai Xiaozhou had never seen this kind of snake before, but he could guess with his knees that the venom in their bodies was enough to poison her to death thousands of times. "Hurry up!" Bai Xiaozhou pulled Qu Siqi up and ran, the red snake jumped up, she instinctively raised her hand to cover her face, the snake bit her wrist, she was in excruciating pain, grabbed the red snake by seven inches, It fell hard to the ground, the red snake twisted twice, the bright red pattern began to fade, and there was a faint black fluorescence, and it stopped moving.The other red snake seemed to have a spirituality. Sensing the death of its companion, it shrank back, crawled into the altar at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared without a trace. Bai Xiaozhou looked down at his wound, there were two rows of teeth marks, and black lines appeared around it, intertwined like hemp, and burrowed into the wound one after another. After a while, the wound was still there, but no disease occurred. Fortunately, she was relieved, anyway, sometimes powers are quite useful. She turned sideways and put her left hand on Qu Siqi's forehead. His brows were tangled together in pain. He clutched his neck, vomited a puff of black smoke, and coughed violently. "Fuck, what did I vomit just now? I don't remember eating such a disgusting thing!" "Stop complaining, you're lucky to be alive." Bai Xiaozhou said dissatisfiedly, "It's really useless." Qu Siqi's cheeks flushed: "Who, who said I'm useless, I just accidentally followed the other party's way!" He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but his eyes suddenly became straight.Bai Xiaozhou's scalp went numb: "Are you okay? Got a Gu again?" "There are six people, three came up from the back, and the other three came in from the front." Qu Siqi lowered his voice, "They all carried knives, it's too late to escape now, find a place to hide." The house is empty, where is there a place to hide?Qu Siqi looked around and thought to himself: "I have a solution, follow me." Sure enough, as he said, six strong men in Miao costumes rushed into the room, and all of them changed their faces: "Oops, the blood candle of the Gu mother is gone." One of them, wearing a huge totem made of silver on his chest, came to the altar in a hurry, looked at the three plates again and again, his face was ashen ashes: "Impossible, there are still three days to refine the blood candle, how could it break the egg and die?" out!" "Patriarch, there is black blood here." Another Miao man said, the patriarch squatted down, looked at the black blood in front of the altar again and again, and the expression on his face was even more terrifying: "Yes, it is the blood of the blood of the blood candle! " "Someone killed Xuezhuyin?" The Miao men turned pale in shock, "It's impossible, who can kill Xuezhuyin? Even if they did, as long as they touched its blood, their whole body would rot and die." "I smell strangers." The patriarch looked around, "Someone from outside came here." "The boys from those two cities?" "Impossible, they are in Gu Mother's room." "Is there anyone else?" The patriarch pondered for a moment: "Search the house!" There is an altar in this room, even if it is the territory of the gods, the Miao men dare not be too presumptuous, so they carried the gleaming Miao knives and lightly rummaged through the boxes, but found nothing. "Patriarch, it can't be..." He looked under the altar, and another person said: "No, desecrating the altar is a capital offense." The patriarch gave a solemn salute to the ghost mask, stretched his arms forward, and a scarlet scorpion crawled out from his long sleeves. He carefully placed the scorpion in front of the altar, and the scorpion quickly burrowed into the red felt covering the altar. middle.A Miao man flattered: "The patriarch still has a way, with the patriarch's Gu worms, are you afraid they won't come out?" Silence, deathly silence. There was no sound under the altar, and no scorpion crawled out.The six people looked at each other in blank dismay: "Patriarch, it seems that the other party is really powerful, it is better to invite the Gu mother." "Mother Gu has found a good medicine jar, and she is refining Gu poison, so she can't come out for the time being." The patriarch frowned tightly, "Go and gather all the people in the clan, search the village, and search the mountain if necessary, and we must take this Find out the stranger!" The footsteps of the six people disappeared, and Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou who were hanging under the room finally breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the Miao villages are built on stilts, and the distance between the house and the ground is four or five feet. If it is pasted under the floor, it will be difficult to be found. "Pharmaceutical jar..." Bai Xiaozhou's chest felt cold. She had read many novels about Gu seedlings on the Internet. Miao people planted Gu poison in the human body and used the human body to cultivate the poison. The human body would slowly swell and rot, full of blood. After suffering from the stench of corpses, they will not die. The Gu worms will bite their stomachs and crawl out until they have suffered all kinds of suffering, and the Gu poison will be refined. The anger almost swallowed her, Qu Siqi hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Calm down, we will rescue them. The most urgent thing now is to quickly find a place to hide. If they catch her, there will be no hope." gone." Bai Xiaozhou gritted his silver teeth and nodded heavily: "But we are not as familiar with this mountain forest as they are, so where can we hide?" "Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place?" The Miao people began to search the mountains on a large scale. Before, the cottage was as quiet as a dead city, and they didn't know where so many people came from.The patriarch entered the room with the altar again, followed by several old men with white hair and white beard, who seemed to be highly respected figures in the village.几人三跪九叩，行了大礼，然后由一位老者用榆木做的龙头拐杖将红毡子挑开。一条血红的蛇缩在角落里，一动不动，红蝎子已经不见了，但血烛阴皮下依稀能看到蝎子的痕迹。 它把红蝎子给吞了！ 族长心疼得眼泪都快出来了，但又不好说什么。那位拿龙头拐杖的老者道：“外乡人不在这里。不过，他能杀得了血烛阴，说明他并不是等闲之辈，叫小的们搜查的时候小心点儿。” “您放心吧。”族长对他毕恭毕敬，转身大步走出门去，举着火把的苗人们静静等着，火光将他们死灰一样的脸照得更加妖异。 “分两队，一队搜索寨内，一队搜山，把招子放亮一点，对方不是等闲人物。” 苗人们安静得像一群木头人，自动分为两队，由两个首领带着，分别去了。屋子安静下来，藏在柜子里的两人总算稍微松了口气。 这间屋子有衣柜有桌椅甚至有梳妆台，看起来似乎曾是某个女人的闺房，只是没有床，从方位来看，祭坛所摆放的位置正是床的位置。 白小舟不知道这到底有什么讲究，只是很高兴能有处藏身之地。好在苗人们也不算太聪明，没有将之前检查过的衣柜再查一遍。 即使那么多人搜查，外面依然很安静，等待的滋味很难熬，白小舟担心朱翊凯和叶不二，心急如焚。瞿思齐也好不了多少，握紧了瑞士军刀，恨不得冲出去将对方杀个片甲不留。 白小舟觉得柜子里变亮了，奇怪地侧过头，看见他手中那把瑞士军刀泛起淡淡的荧光，似乎比普通的军刀要长一些。她正在诧异，却听瞿思齐低声说：“他们抓到人了。” 不到十分钟，外面果然传来一阵喧哗，白小舟不解地瞥了他一眼：“他们抓住谁了？” “不认识，看身上的衣服，应该只是个普通的驴友。” 白小舟沉吟片刻，轻轻推开衣柜门，小心翼翼地爬到窗户边，隔着湘妃竹拼接成的窗棂往外看，一群苗人抬着一个穿冲锋衣的年轻人从寨门外走了进来，他浑身被绑得像个粽子，正恐惧地挣扎怒吼。 他被扔在寨子中间的空地上，族长带着一干长老怒气冲冲地瞪着他：“你是谁？” “我是来旅游的。”年轻人急切地说，“你，你们要干什么？你们知不知道，你们这是绑架，要负法律责任的！” “是谁派你来的？”族长冷冰冰地问。 “我，我是自己来的，我常年都在深山老林里旅行。”年轻男人急忙将胸前挂的相机递过去，“你看，这些都是我在各地照的照片。” 族长接过去看了看，似乎不明白那是什么东西，又递给身边几个长老，没一个认得出那东西，被随意扔在一旁。那相机是单反，还带了一个很长的镜头，一看就知道价值匪浅，把那年轻男人心疼得差点儿哭了。 “你懂蛊？”族长问。 “啊？”年轻男人没反应过来，“什么？” 族长似乎很不耐烦，也不再问，解开自己衣服，从里面飞出一只虫子来，隔得远，也看不清究竟是什么虫子。那虫子飞到年轻男人头顶盘旋一阵，又飞了回去，族长问：“和你一起来的人呢？” “就我一个啊。”年轻男人急忙争辩，“你们是不是找错人了？我向来都习惯一个人旅行。” “族长，别信他的鬼话，他一定跟那个杀了血烛阴的人是一伙儿的。”周围的苗人纷纷嚷道。 年轻男人完全听不懂他们在说什么，吓得手足无措，语无伦次地争辩，族长只是冷冷地看着他，最后说了句：“不管是不是跟那人一伙，私闯苗寨就是死罪。来人，将蛰盆打开。” 这个时候，白小舟才注意到空地上有一张红木制成的桌子，孤零零的。上面摆着一只陶罐。一名长老伸出双手，在陶罐上面虚空地晃了两圈，然后由两名苗人将陶罐搬开，又搬开木桌，那拿龙头拐杖的长老用他的拐杖在地面轻轻敲了敲，地面轰然裂开，露出一个三米见方的大坑，坑内四壁仿佛铺着一层五颜六色的毛毯，随着一阵窸窸窣窣的声响，毛毯涌动起来。 白小舟捂住自己的嘴，以免惊叫出声，那坑里竟然全都是各种各样的毒虫。 传说，蛊就是将各种各样的毒虫都放进同一个容器内，让它们自相残杀，当最后只剩下的一只毒虫就拥有所有毒虫的毒性，也就是蛊。 虽然听说过无数次，但今天亲眼看见，她还是能够感到从心底深处涌出来的寒冷。 年轻男人吓得快要尿裤子了，跪下朝族长一个劲儿地磕头求饶，族长不为所动，大声道：“给我扔下去！” 年轻男人被抬了起来，眼看就要往坑里扔，白小舟头脑一热，忽然将窗户一开，纵身跳了出去，瞿思齐没想到她说跳就跳，根本来不及拦，急得抓耳挠腮。 心里暗骂：“小舟，你简直就是疯了。”
