Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Third

"Wait!" She yelled loudly, and everyone turned their heads. She strode forward and raised her head stubbornly: "What you are looking for is me, and it has nothing to do with him. Let him go now." The patriarch looked her up and down, as if he couldn't figure out who she was: "You killed Xue Zhuyin?" "That's right, it's me." She answered very simply, Qu Siqi was in the building beating his chest and stamping his feet, Xiao Zhou, you fool, why didn't you ask me first before going out, this is simply throwing yourself into a trap! The patriarch sneered twice, and with a wave of his hand, the Miao people put the young man down.The young man changed his panicked expression and straightened his clothes calmly: "Patriarch, look, I said she will definitely come out."

Bai Xiaozhou was stunned and looked at him in surprise. He said with a smile: "I do like to travel, but this is my hometown." A mouthful of anger filled his chest, and Bai Xiaozhou almost vomited blood. Which bastard said that people in the deep mountains are simple?who is it?She wanted to drag him out and beat him ten thousand times. "Patriarch, beware of fraud." The crutch elder said in a deep voice, "This woman doesn't look like she knows how to use Gu. They must have accomplices." Bai Xiaozhou was afraid that they would find out Qu Siqi, so he said loudly: "I killed Xue Zhuyin, if you want to kill or cut him up, go ahead. I will do everything by myself."

The patriarch released the bug again, this time Bai Xiaozhou saw it clearly, it was a red beetle, the bug circled around her head for a while, then flew back, the patriarch frowned: "It really wasn't her." Bai Xiaozhou didn't know why, she was the one who killed Xue Zhuyin with a short knife, why did the patriarch say it wasn't her?It's a pity that the dagger was forgotten in the closet, otherwise it could be displayed on display. She suddenly began to admire herself, and she still had the heart to think about it at this time. "Throw her down for me." The patriarch sneered, "I'd like to see, that person who knows Gu skills is reluctant to let you become Gu."

Wait, he said she became a "gu"?Wasn't it eaten by Gu insects? Before she could figure it out, the Miao people had already lifted her up and threw her into the stinging pot.Qu Siqi clenched the Swiss Army Knife tightly, and there were blue veins on his forehead. He didn't even notice that the knife seemed to be longer, and the fluorescence was getting stronger and stronger.He only felt that the blood in his veins was about to boil, and he could see the blood vessels in his arms beating slightly. Xiaozhou, I will not let anyone hurt you, anyone who wants to hurt you will die!

He raised his head and hissed, his eyes were full of blue light, he jumped and landed firmly in the middle of the open space, the Swiss Army Knife in his hand extended like a three-foot-long sword. The patriarch was shocked: "Quick, take him down!" The ferocious Miao people rushed up wielding the Miao knife. Driven by the blood, he slashed wildly with his sword. When the patriarch and elders came back to their senses, he was already standing in front of him, with a pile of dead bodies lying behind him. The red beetle flew out of the patriarch's arms and rushed straight to his face. He swung his sword and the beetle split into two.Meeting his gaze, the patriarch felt the bone-chilling cold for the first time. The person in front of him, no, he is not human at all, he is simply a Shura who kills without blinking an eye!

Bai Xiaozhou sat in the stinging basin, not daring to move, the poisonous insects gradually crawled up her body, she was so frightened that she shivered, and when she heard the earth-shattering shouts outside, she couldn't help screaming: "Si Qi! Siqi save me!" Qu Siqi felt as if he had been punched hard in the chest by something, and suddenly woke up. The blue light on the Swiss Army Knife also suddenly decreased, and it became an ordinary knife again.He dropped the saber, jumped into the stinging basin like crazy, and picked up Bai Xiaozhou, ignoring the poisonous insects all over the place: "Xiaozhou, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"

The moment Xiaozhou was picked up by Si Qi, the library card fell from Bai Xiaozhou's clothes. She felt that a colorless and odorless breath was released from her body and spread around. It was originally crawling on the two of them. All the poisonous insects scrambled to retreat, crawling out along the four walls like a tide.The Miao people outside the pit were in a great chaos, and ran away with their heads in their arms: "The poisonous insects have escaped! Run!" Qu Siqi didn't have time to be surprised, he jumped out of the sting basin, the poisonous insects all over the ground ran around, startled the Miao people to run away.The patriarch yelled: "Quick, go get the Gu mother!"

Several Miao people stumbled and ran to the depths of the village, Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou hurriedly followed, and no one stopped them in the chaos. Even though the open space was in chaos, the village was still terribly quiet, and the further you went, the quieter it became, as if all the hustle and bustle outside were isolated from here.Most of the buildings in this Miao village are stilted buildings, but in the deepest part of the village there is a small Han-style courtyard with black tiles and white walls. house come. The Miao people fell down in front of that house, crying and shouting: "Mother Gu, a powerful foreigner came to the village and killed many of our clansmen. The sting pot is broken, come out and help!"

The room was still quiet, nothing happened. The Miao people looked at each other in blank dismay, and called a few more times, but there was still no movement.An impatient person stepped forward to knock on the door, the wooden door suddenly opened, was pulled in abruptly, the door was quickly closed again, and then heart-piercing screams came from inside. The Miao man was terrified, turned around and ran, fell to the ground before taking a few steps, and when he looked back, his legs had been broken from the knees, and long, thin white worms gushed out from the breaks, like white yarns .The Miao people scratched their faces, and there seemed to be something crawling under the skin. They scratched their faces like crazy, and as soon as the skin was broken, white lines crawled out immediately.

Bai Xiaozhou hesitated, she didn't know whether to save her, she remembered that her grandfather once said that Gu seedlings would harm people every once in a while, no matter whether there was hatred or not, otherwise they would be backlashed.I don't know how many people died under their hands. Those poor travelers never went back once they entered the mountains. Who will avenge them. "Retribution." She hardened her heart and watched them being wrapped in white nematodes until they were eaten to the point of skeletons. The door opened leisurely, and there was a small courtyard inside, with a large water tank standing in the middle of the courtyard, a scene of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the courtyard was full of magnolia flowers, giving people the feeling of time and space disorder.Bai Xiaozhou lifted her foot and walked in, Qu Siqi hurriedly held her down: "Xiaozhou, be careful."

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't catch tiger cubs. Anyway, you've even entered the sting pot, so what's there to be afraid of?" She said stubbornly, "It's just one death anyway." Qu Siqi thought to himself, weren't you scared to death just now? As soon as the two of them stepped into the yard, the wooden door slammed shut, and there was a strange fragrance in the air, as if mixed with some kind of Chinese herbal medicine. When they smelled it carefully, they could smell a trace of blood. Bai Xiaozhou sniffed around, came to the water tank, only took a look inside, his face changed, he covered his mouth suddenly, turned around to vomit.Qu Siqi put his arms around her shoulders, and glanced into the water tank. The water tank was full of bloody liquid, and a baby's head was floating on the water. The head was so small that it looked like a newborn. It came out of the bloody liquid. For some reason, he always felt that the baby was still alive. Something moved in the water, and Qu Siqi was startled, thinking that he had misread it, but when he heard a crash, a big snake with thick arms jumped out of it, opened its bloody mouth, and wanted to swallow him alive go down. With a loud cry, the Swiss Army Knife in his hand suddenly emitted a three-foot blue light, and with a wave of his hand, he chopped off the head of the big snake, and black blood splashed everywhere. Before he could dodge in time, he was drenched all over. Severe pain came from every inch of the skin, as if it had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, and the skin began to rot every inch of it, whistling and emitting white smoke. Bai Xiaozhou was shocked, and quickly hugged him in his arms, pressing his forehead with his left hand, healed so many times, this time seems to be particularly difficult.The black thread spread to her wrist, and Qu Siqi stopped screaming and let out a long breath. Both of them were sweating profusely. Bai Xiaozhou fell into his arms, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up. "Xiaozhou, I owe you another life." Qu Siqi asked her to sit against the wall, gently wiped the sweat off her forehead, Bai Xiaozhou panted heavily, "You owe me more than just one life." Qu Siqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't tell me you want me to promise you with your body?" "Fuck you!" Bai Xiaozhou reached out to hit him, raised his hand halfway and then dropped it, "I want you to look good when I recover my strength." "You really look more and more like Teacher Long." He whispered. The two of them suddenly heard a woman's laughter. The laughter was very charming and pleasant, but at this moment it sounded particularly frightening.The door of the back room opened, and Qu Siqi went to pick up the knife that fell on the ground, but saw a person he had never expected to come out slowly. "Ye Buer?" Ye Buer was still wearing his sportswear, with two empty buckets on his shoulders, as if he couldn't see the two of them, he came to the well in the corner of the yard and fetched water by himself, moving mechanically, his face black and blue.Qu Siqi wanted to go over, but Bai Xiaozhou stopped him: "Wait, there is something wrong with him." "Nonsense, you can see something wrong with him with your knees." "Then you go and call him, no one will detoxify you if you have been poisoned by a Gu." "Uh..." Qu Siqi hastily put on a flattering smile, "Xiaozhou is still wise and powerful, I am ashamed of myself." Bai Xiaozhou sighed helplessly, this person is really nervous, she doubted that even if the world was destroyed, he would still be able to continue joking.In a sense, this can be regarded as a kind of power. Ye Bu'er picked two buckets full of water, but it seemed that he picked only two goose feathers. His steps were vigorous, but his eyes were dull. Bai Xiaozhou and Qu Siqi heard the laughter again, this time it was no longer fantasy and treacherous, it was real close at hand.They raised their heads and saw a girl in a cheongsam standing by the door of the back room, quietly looking at Ye Buer with a happy expression on her face. The Swiss Army Knife in Qu Siqi's hand suddenly lengthened, and he took a step forward and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong with Buer?" There was brilliance in the girl's eyes, and she looked bright, she smiled softly: "I have let you go, why don't you leave?" "When four people come, four people must go together." Ye Buer walked to her side, put down the pole, and hugged her shoulder affectionately.She snuggled into his arms, a pale apple blossom-like color appeared on her cheeks: "Don't you think, he is very happy now?" The two gasped, and didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Originally, this picture should be very charming, like a gothic painting, but with Ye Buer's face, it becomes abstract. How unique is the taste of this Hmong girl. "You, are you telling the truth?" Qu Siqi couldn't believe it, "You, you like Budu? What do you like about him?" The Miao girl looked at Ye Buer affectionately, stretched out her hand and gently stroked his cheek: "It really looks like you must be his reincarnation. He said that even if he is reincarnated on the other side of the earth in the next life, he will follow Xin Yi. The scent of flowers came back to me. You really did not break your promise." Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou were very helpless, Qu Siqi thought to himself, he was always worried that Ye Buer would not find a girlfriend in the future, but he never thought that his luck would come so soon, and the other party was a super beautiful woman. Bai Xiaozhou tugged at his sleeve: "Is this girl mentally abnormal?" "I suspect there is something wrong with her eyes." Bai Xiaozhou regained some strength and helped him stand up: "Where is Zhu Yikai?" "Zhu Yikai?" The girl giggled softly, with a charming smile, "Is that the tall man? He can't leave either. While I'm in a good mood, why don't you get out of here quickly? Are you going to wait to be my medicine jar?" Bai Xiaozhou's expression changed drastically: "What did you say? What medicine jar? What did you do to Kaizi?" "Do you want to see him?" The girl hooked her fingers, "Then come with me." Qu Siqi also wanted to follow, but Bai Xiaozhou stopped him and said in a low voice, "You meet me outside." Qu Siqi wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, this place is poisonous everywhere, if he is a little careless, he might cause trouble for Xiaozhou again, so he should stay outside obediently. The room was filled with the scent of magnolia flowers, and the smell of blood could still be faintly smelled, which made people sick.The floors and household items are so clean that they are not stained with dust, and there is no smell of living things, as if the people who live here are not living people.The room is full of old furniture, the carvings are rough, but the workmanship is very solid, the red paint is mottled, and it must be several decades old.There was a water tank in the corner, and Ye Buer poured the water into the water tank, and carefully closed the lid.There were almost no decorations in the room, not even a mirror, but a yellowed photo on the bedside table. Bai Xiaozhou's gaze was attracted by that photo, and he could hardly move his eyes away. In the photo is a man wearing a gown from the Republic of China. He is very handsome. Even if the photo has turned yellow and blurred over time, it still cannot conceal his peerless elegance. "Very handsome, isn't it?" the girl said quietly behind her. "He is my man, and he built this yard for me." Bai Xiaozhou opened his mouth wide in shock, her man?So, did she just say that Ye Buer looks like him?What look in her eyes!It seems that she is really crazy, and she is not lightly crazy. "Want to hear my story?" the girl asked with a smile. Bai Xiaozhou really wanted to hear the story, but he wanted to find Zhu Yikai more. "Sorry, I'm not interested, where is my friend?" The girl sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned against the bedpost, and smiled brightly at her: "After listening to the story, I'll let you see him." An oil lamp was lit on the table, and the wind that came from nowhere shook the lamp for a while, and the dark red light and shadow cast her face in a cloudy and inexplicable way. "It's been a long time. It was a long time ago. For so many years, no one has ever heard me tell this story. I'm holding it in my heart, and I'm about to grow maggots." This description is disgusting, Bai Xiaozhou thought in his heart. "I was born in this village, and I was selected as the Gu mother from a very young age. In this village, the Gu mother is the servant of the gods, and the most powerful Gu was cultivated by the Gu mother. At that time, the village was very prosperous. Famous far and near. In the nearby 'Qing Miao' stockade, the patriarch often brings his soldiers to ask me to cast Gu on them, so that his soldiers will always be loyal to him and fearless of death. Everyone respects me, I am so high, Accepting the worship of everyone is simply the life of an emperor. But I don't want this kind of life, I just want to live a peaceful life with a man I like, but I am a Gu mother, and a Gu mother cannot marry. " This story is so clichéd that Bai Xiaozhou can think of the plot behind it. Then the man in the photo appeared.The two had an affair behind the backs of the clansmen, but were discovered by the clansmen, the man was killed, and she went crazy. "I will never forget the day when I first met him. The magnolia flowers bloomed so beautifully that year. He stood under the magnolia tree. I thought he was a fairy in the sky. I couldn't help falling in love with him, but he not love me." Oh?Then this story is still a little fresh. "However, I have the ability to make him fall in love with me." The girl's face was full of confidence, and Bai Xiaozhou said in shock: "Did you play tricks on him?" The girl laughed so hard that her branches trembled: "I put a love gu on him, as long as anyone falls into this kind of gu, his whole heart will be on that gu person, he can't leave her for a moment, and he is willing to die for her. My Gu skills have never disappointed me, and this time is no exception." Bai Xiaozhou looked at Ye Buer, who was standing aside like a wooden man, and said with a sneer, "The husband you want is a walking corpse like this? Why don't you find an inflatable doll?" "Inflatable doll?" The girl asked strangely, "What is that?" Bai Xiaozhou laughed twice: "Go on, go on." "He got a love Gu, I left him in the village, lingering day and night, the patriarch and elders were very dissatisfied, but my Gu technique is the strongest in the clan, none of them dared to provoke me, so they could only choose to remain silent But I know that they have been planning to get rid of my man. I guarded against them very strictly, but after half a year, they still did it. " She lightly stroked the carved flower on the bedpost, with a dangerous murderous intent in her eyes: "That day is the annual Gu God Festival, as usual, I will go to Qingmiao's stockade to receive offerings, and to cure diseases and eliminate viruses for the Miao people. Naturally, I couldn't take him with me, so I planted a lot of Gu in the room, and left my most precious blood candle shade here to protect him. Everything was safe, but that day my eyelids kept twitching, and kept twitching. I was very worried. I didn’t go to several villages on the pretext of being unwell. I hurried back to the village. But what I was worried about happened. Everyone in the clan avoided me and didn’t dare to look at me. I rushed into the house like crazy , I only saw dead bodies all over the place. The dead bodies of my Gu worms." Bai Xiaozhou couldn't help applauding, who is the hero who saved the beauty, if she is lucky enough to see him, she must toast him. "He's gone. I almost turned over the entire village, but I still can't find him." The girl's eyes were dark, "I know the clansmen must have taken him away, and I poisoned the patriarchs and elders. The most frightening Gu, their bodies will rot and rot into white bones, exposing their internal organs, but they will not die. I know, they are very scared, and they will definitely tell me the truth. Sure enough, the patriarch couldn't stand it and told me It was Elder Bazhi who took him away thousands of miles away, and then killed him." When she said this, her long black and thick hair fluttered like vicious poisonous snakes, but it only lasted for a moment, and then fell behind her like a waterfall. Bai Xiaozhou always felt that her hair was a bit weird. "Since then, I have never seen Elder Bazhi again, but there is no one left in his family. I have made them into 'vegetative people' and used them to refine my Gu. Those who tried to separate us, I will also give They deserved punishment." She turned her face sideways, the moonlight and firelight merged together, reflecting a terrifying color on her skin, this color, Bai Xiaozhou had seen in anatomy textbooks. "The story is over, where is Zhu Yikai?" She asked eagerly, a bad premonition swelled in her heart, she was afraid that her emotions would lose control. "He's always been in front of you, but you can't see it." She stood up, walked slowly to the water tank, and removed the cover, "Look, isn't he right here?" There was a "boom" in Bai Xiaozhou's head, and he couldn't hear anything, only his own thunderous heartbeat.She walked over step by step, as if stepping on clouds with each step. She finally saw the scene in the water tank. She felt that she had fallen into hell, and her whole body was terribly cold. Zhu Yikai was soaked in the dark liquid, only half of his head was left above the water surface, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was blue and purple, as if something was swimming in the water.Suddenly, he opened his mouth, Bai Xiaozhou thought he was going to speak, but saw a thumb-thick multicolored bug crawl out of his mouth, dive into the water, and disappeared. The girl giggled beside her: "He is a very good medicine pot. I planted five kinds of Gu in his body, and after seventy-seven forty-nine days, I will be done." Bai Xiaozhou stood by the water tank with her head lowered, her long hair hanging down, covering half of her face. The girl thought she was petrified, and laughed even more happily: "Who is he to you?" "He's my man." "It turns out that you are also a lover." The girl walked slowly behind her, and gently stroked her face with fingers as white as onion roots: "You can't leave after hearing my story. Since you love him so much , why not go down and accompany him." After that, he held her shoulder and pushed her into the water tank. "Crack." Bai Xiaozhou held her hand and turned around slowly.Seeing the fluorescence in her eyes, the girl was suddenly a little scared, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that she couldn't move.She didn't dare to look into Bai Xiaozhou's eyes, and felt that being stared at by those fluorescent eyes made her whole body ache. "You dare to hurt Yikai." Bai Xiaozhou's voice was low and cold, with a hint of ferocity, "I will never spare you!" She grabbed her arm and pushed her into the water tank, The face reflected in the water looked like an old woman, with wrinkles like dry old tree bark. The girl screamed, pushed her away, and grabbed her face: "No, that's not me, it's not me!" Bai Xiaozhou sneered: "So this is what you really look like." She picked up the photo frame on the bedside table, smashed it on the corner of the table, and took out the photo: there was a line of small characters written on the back: It was taken in Guangzhou in 1922. "It turns out that you are already an old monster." The corners of Bai Xiaozhou's eyes were full of contempt, "No wonder there is no mirror in this room, and even the water tank is covered with a cover. Do you think that if you use Gu to change your appearance, you will be able to change your appearance." Can you stay young forever? Don’t be stupid, it’s just an illusion, and your body under the illusion has long since decayed.” "You, you nonsense!" the girl screamed, "I'm still young, I'm only eighteen!" Bai Xiaozhou rushed over and covered her face with his hands.She felt her face hurt like a fire, and wanted to summon the Gu worms living in her body, but found that her body was empty, and those snake worms that were raised by her and drank her blood for a living had escaped without knowing when. At this time, she felt a kind of bone-chilling terror that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended. Bai Xiaozhou let go of his hand, took out the mirror from his small bag, leaned in front of her, and said cruelly: "Look, this is the real you, an ugly, old and dying monster." The girl went crazy after just one glance, holding her head and screaming, "That's not me, it's not me!" She stretched out her index finger and middle finger, and pulled out both eyeballs, and the blood flowed down her cheeks , like two lines of blood and tears. The corner of Bai Xiaozhou's mouth twitched into a cold, cruel, vicious smile. "Xiao Zhou!" Hearing the scream, Qu Siqi thought something happened to her, and rushed in like crazy.Hearing his voice, she shivered, the fluorescence in her eyes dimmed, and she looked at the old woman rolling on the ground in disbelief. Bai Xiaozhou couldn't believe that he did such a thing. "Xiao Zhou, are you okay?" Qu Siqi looked at the old woman, "Who is she?" "Leave her alone, come and help me." Bai Xiaozhou put his hands into the water tank and dragged Zhu Yikai out, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not.Qu Siqi was terrified: "Kaizi...he, he won't die, will he?" "Mother Gu doesn't know how to use dead people to make medicine jars." At this time, Zhu Yikai was naked and covered in black water, Bai Xiaozhou was so distressed that he burst into tears, gritted his teeth, snatched the Swiss Army Knife from Qu Siqi's hand, and rushed to Mother Gu.Qu Siqi held her back: "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to kill her!" "Stop!" Qu Siqi snatched the saber with his hands, his eyes were burning with anger, "I'll kill! Anyway, I've already killed someone, I don't care about killing one more." The saber turned into a lightsaber again, and Qu Siqi angrily walked towards the Gu mother.Bai Xiaozhou had never seen him so angry before, and felt that he had become another person, a bloody devil who killed without batting an eye. Bai Xiaozhou thought of those Miao people who were killed in the open space. It turned out that when the best friends and relatives are hurt, no matter how kind and honest they are, they will become terrible Shura. Mother Gu seemed to notice the approaching killing intent, and screamed: "Qing Yun, Qing Yun, save me!" Ye Buer, who had been standing aside like a puppet, suddenly moved, and Qu Siqi only felt a blur in front of his eyes, Ye Buer was already in front of him, picked up the Gu mother, and quickly ran out the door.Qu Siqi raised his sword and chased after him. He chased to the courtyard and shouted: "Bu Er! You bastard, wake up for me!" Ye Buer didn't seem to be able to hear what he said, and without even looking back, he raised his head and roared thrillingly at the red moon hanging in the sky. That voice was not human at all. "No two?" Qu Siqi felt that his back was a little cold, even if he got a Gu, he wouldn't turn into a monster, right? He clearly saw that under the blood-red moonlight, Ye Buer's hands grew densely packed with very thin and short black fluff, and that ugly face seemed to be undergoing some kind of change. "Buer...you...you can't be..." He couldn't say the word "monster", stuck in his throat like a sharp thorn. Ye Buer jumped into the terrifying long night together.The trees around were rustling, and everything returned to a dead silence. After being stunned for half a minute, he remembered that Bai Xiaozhou and Zhu Yikai were still in the room, and quickly turned around, only to find that Kaizi's face had returned to normal, and Bai Xiaozhou was lying on top of him, extremely exhausted and unconscious. Qu Siqi suddenly felt a headache. How can these two living beings weigh more than 200 kilograms to bring them back? The aroma of vegetables floated, like braised pork, Bai Xiaozhou sniffled and woke up. "Wake up, wake up, Xiao Zhou, you're finally awake." Qu Siqi danced happily, Bai Xiaozhou looked around, it seemed to be a farmer somewhere, and the house was cleaned up: "Where is this?" "Miao Village." "what?" "Don't get excited." Qu Siqi quickly comforted, "This is a village of the Miao people, it's a 'flower seedling', not a 'gu seedling'." Hua Miao is the Sinicized Miao nationality. Except for some customs and national costumes, there is almost no difference from the Han people. Just when the master came back with a basket of vegetables, he greeted them with a smile: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up, I'll go and see if the food in the pot is cooked." "Why are we here? Where's Kyle?" Qu Siqi fell silent, with a strange expression on his face.Bai Xiaozhou felt something was wrong, and his face changed suddenly: "Kaizi won't die, will he?" "Don't worry, don't worry, he's alive and well." Qu Siqi quickly shook his head, "But..." "But what, can you stop panting when you speak?" "Come with me." Qu Siqi waited for her to get dressed, and led her out of the yard.This is a small mountain depression, where dozens of families live, all of which are built with brick houses. It looks like an ordinary southern village. The villagers are very simple and kind. Sitting at the door of the house and holding the soles, the peace is like a paradise. After turning over a hill, Qu Siqi pointed down: "That's the Gu Miao Village we just visited a few days ago." Bai Xiaozhou opened his eyes and watched for a long time, but he couldn't see the shadow of the cottage: "Where is it?" "It's right there." "Nonsense, there's nothing in there but trees." "It's true that there is nothing." Qu Siqi's face was a little ugly, "After you fainted, I was afraid that those Miao people would hunt you down and drag you up the mountain. It's really evil to say that it was clear just now, but it suddenly started to rain. It was still falling heavily. I was afraid of landslides, so I found a cave to shelter from the rain. It rained for a whole day, and when the weather cleared up, I couldn’t find the cottage again. I thought I was in the wrong direction in the rain. I didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, there is a small village over there. After I settled you down, I went out to have a look and found our equipment in the magnolia bushes over there, but I still didn't see the cottage. Later, I heard from people in the village Said that there have always been legends of 'ghost villages' here, and people often see ancient Miao villages in the mountains." Bai Xiaozhou opened his mouth wide in shock: "You mean, we ran into a ghost?" "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it." Qu Siqi laughed dryly, "At least we didn't kill human beings, so we won't be sentenced for excessive self-defense." Bai Xiaozhou's facial muscles twitched twice: "That's not the point, if they are not human, then where can we find Ye Buer?" "I heard that there is an old man in the village who knows something about the ghost village. I am going to visit." "Call Kaizi, where is he?" Embarrassment appeared on Qu Siqi's head: "He has been bathing in the small river ditch below for three hours." When the two arrived at Xiaohegou, several Miao girls hid in the bushes and peeked into the river, giggling coquettishly while watching. "It's so pretty." "Yeah, it's still very strong." Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou were immediately embarrassed. Zhu Yikai was soaked in the water from the waist down, and the sun shone on him, making his hair a beautiful maroon. "Are you addicted to bubbles?" Qu Siqi said with a stinky face, "Come on, you think you're taking a photo." Zhu Yikai's face was very ugly, but he didn't say much, Bai Xiaozhou turned around consciously, but those Miao girls stuck their heads and refused to leave.She stepped forward and said, "Take a look at thirty yuan, no discount." The Miao girls left reluctantly, Bai Xiaozhou rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking that being too handsome is not a good thing. Zhu Yikai was wearing new clothes bought from the villagers, and kept silent all the time. Bai Xiaozhou thought that the poisonous water in the tank would not damage the brain, right?Gently tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Kaizi, uh... Yikai, are you okay?" Zhu Yikai gently pushed her hand away, lowered his head, with a gloomy expression: "I'm fine." No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's okay.She didn't dare to ask more, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point along the way, fortunately, Qu Siqi occasionally joked, but it was freezing to death. The old man who knew the "ghost village" in the legend lived at the end of the village. His house was very dilapidated, the tiles on the roof were broken, and only a few bundles of thatch were used to block it.Qu Siqi knocked on the door and went in, and saw an old man who had lost all his hair lying on a rocking chair, with an unpleasant stench on his body. Bai Xiaozhou wondered if the old man was still alive. "Grandpa, hello." Qu Siqi was afraid that he would lose his hearing, so he let go of his voice, and the old man said slowly, "Don't be so loud, it will shatter my roof." "Uh... Grandpa, we heard, you know 'ghost village'?" The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and stared fiercely at the three of them with a pair of cloudy eyeballs: "Have you seen the ghost village? Have you gone in?" "Uh... went in." "Impossible! No one who has entered the ghost village can come out alive!" The old man shouted excitedly, "I saw it with my own eyes back then. My brothers entered the ghost village, and I only heard a scream. , they, they're all dead, dead." "Calm down, calm down." Qu Siqi was afraid that his agitation would endanger his life, "Speak slowly." "That night was horrible and I don't want to recall it." "This...then tell me about the origin of this ghost village." The old man let out a long breath, as if he had let out ten years of life with this breath, and he looked even older: "I heard from my father that there used to be a village of Gu seedlings on the other side of the mountain, and there was a very beautiful Gu mother, Gu mother fell in love with an outsider. The outsider heard that his surname was Ye, and he went to the mountains to find a medicinal material, so he stayed in our village. The patriarch of our village happened to visit the Gu mother, and he was very curious. I begged the patriarch to take him with me. I heard that the Han man surnamed Ye was very handsome. When he was in the village, many girls liked him, but he was not attracted to anyone. Because the patriarch wanted to recruit him The son-in-law did not refuse his request. No one thought that his departure would lead to a disaster. Later, the patriarch came back alone with a very ugly face. When others asked him where Mr. Ye had gone, he asked him everything. He refused to say. The people in the village thought he was scared away by the poison of the Gu seedlings, so they didn't think much about it. Until one night a few months later, my father woke up and found a man standing outside the village, fluttering. Panting heavily, he looked carefully under the red moonlight, and found that it was Mr. Ye, so he ran over to greet him, and saw that his face was very strange, and he had strange black fluff on his body. My father was very scared, Mr. Ye Tell him not to panic, and tell him not to go to Gu Miao’s village again, and no matter who comes to ask, don’t say that you have seen him. After talking, he disappeared. My father was so frightened that he thought he saw a ghost. I didn’t tell anyone, and no one came to ask. Until a few months later, someone went to see the Gu mother, but didn’t come back, and many people went to look for it, but didn’t come back. At this time, the tribe discovered that the Gu Miao village had become a Ghost village, there is no one in the village, but once you go in, you will never come back. That mountain col became a forbidden area, and a small earthquake occurred decades later, the landslides, and the Gu Miao village was buried. I heard that later Some people have seen cottages in the mountains, and those Gu Miao people who have disappeared, but they are not alive anymore." The faces of the three of them all changed, and they looked at each other: "You said, that gentleman...surnamed Ye?" "right." "Do you know his full name?" "It seems to be called... Ye Yun, what's 'dear'? I can't remember, my father has been dead for more than 30 years." The old man seemed to have exhausted all his strength telling this story, and fell asleep with his head on the chair.The three walked out lightly, and after a moment of silence, Bai Xiaozhou said, "Should we call Teacher Long?" Both Qu Siqi and Zhu Yikai agreed, and the three rushed to the village chief's house, where there was the only telephone in the village.After finally dialing, Long Chuxia seemed to be hungover, and asked feebly: "How are you doing, are you having a good time?" "Happy, very exciting." Qu Siqi's mouth twitched twice, "Mr. Long, tell me the truth, is Buer a werewolf?" "A werewolf? How could he be a werewolf?" "Don't try to lie to me, I've seen him transform." "Nonsense!" Long Chuxia said angrily, "Even if he transforms, he won't become a werewolf." 瞿思齐翻白眼：“他果然是妖怪！你为什么一直瞒着我们？” “我没瞒着你们啊，我说过他是人类吗？而且你们也没问嘛。” 瞿思齐哽得半天没说出话来，心里嘀咕龙老师的脸皮比城墙都厚，她是绝对不会承认自己的错误的。 “好吧，他究竟是什么妖怪？” “你真的想知道？” “真的，你说吧，我血压很正常，不会脑溢血。” “他是山魈。” 瞿思齐脑子里掠过山魈的模样，吓得呆若木鸡。 不是吧，不二人形已经够丑了，真身比人形还要丑啊！ “不是生活在热带的那个山魈，是里所记载的妖怪山魈。 《山海经·海内经卷》 说'南方有赣巨人，人面长臂，黑身有毛，反踵，见人笑亦笑，脣蔽其面，因即逃也'，就是他。” 瞿思齐万万没想到，整日里与他同吃同睡的战友，竟然是上古妖怪山魈，他一时无法接受。白小舟拿过电话：“他的力量有多强？” “山魈虽然是上古妖怪，不过不二年纪太轻，才二十来岁，可能除了速度比别人快点儿，力气比别人大点儿之外，也就没什么其他法术了。喂，不二不会出事了吧？” 白小舟将这几天发生的事原原本本讲了一遍，这次换龙初夏叹道：“这位蛊母真是情深义长，令人钦佩。” “喂！龙老师，您能正常点儿吗？”白小舟终于忍不住发飙。龙初夏干笑道：“开个玩笑。红月的夜晚是山魈力量最强的时候，你们最好在下次红月之前找到他，否则那个疯婆子不知道会操纵他做出什么事来。” “下次红月是什么时候？” “等我先起一课。”龙初夏挂断电话，三人心急如焚等待了足足半个小时，电话终于响了起来：“真是人倒霉了喝水都会塞牙缝儿，明天晚上将会出现'红月'。” “您什么时候学会算命的？” “一直都会，只不过十回只能算对两回。” “……”白小舟黑着脸挂断电话，“看来关键时刻掉链子是051研究所的传统。罢了，咱们还是想想办法吧，怎么把叶不二找回来。” “我有办法。”朱翊凯抬起头，低声说，“不二是山魈对吧，山魈心与山通。红月之夜他的力量最强，正是因为这样的夜晚山体才最不稳定。” “不行。”白小舟打断他，“你想引起山崩？那这村子怎么办？” 朱翊凯沉默，三个人都沉默下来，气氛又变得很怪异。瞿思齐的肚子突然响起，白小舟和朱翊凯也不甘落后，腹如擂鼓，此起彼伏。 “还是先吃饭好了，人是铁饭是钢啊。”瞿思齐一手揽了一人的肩，“走，走，去祭祭五脏庙去。”
