Chapter 5 Chapter 4: Adventures in Miaojiang

Hearing his tone, he seemed to think I was too busy, so I ignored him, turned to the old and the young and said, "Who are the two of you? If you need anything, just call me." As I spoke, I made several gestures again and again. These gestures are all the gestures of the members of the gang when they meet each other. I am very familiar with the members of the gang because I have learned Chinese martial arts since I was a child. At this time, I also thought that what the two of them said, Words that I don't understand are a kind of "cut" in the rivers and lakes. However, when I asked the old and the young in this way, their eyes widened, as if they didn't know what to say.

I hummed again: "You don't give me face, so what are you going to do? It's settled!" The old and the young still remained silent, while Ye Jiaqi said: "Oh, Siri, you made a mistake, you made a complete mistake!" I said, "Aren't these two men threatening you?" He replied: "You can say that, but things are absolutely different from what you imagined. Come on, let's go, drive to Shanghai overnight, and I will tell you what happened." I looked at him suspiciously, and the young man shouted again: "Mr. Ye, you don't have much time. If you don't come with us within three days, it will be too late."

Ye Jiaqi sneered: "I won't go with you at all, and I will never die, so stop farting!" The young man muttered to the old man for a while, apparently translating Ye Jiaqi's words. When the old man heard this, he sighed, feeling very sorry. At this time, Ye Jiaqi had already ignored my consent and dragged me out of the room. When I was pulled out of the room by him, I still looked back, and I saw that the faces of the old and the young were very sad and worried. I can never say that the look on their faces was faked.However, these two people are clearly threatening Ye Jiaqi with death, so they are certainly not good people.

But if they were bad people, how could they have such a look on their faces? I wanted to stop and ask another question, but Ye Jiaqi dragged me down with great strength, until he reached the door of the hotel, he took a breath and dragged me to the side of the car again. As soon as the coachman saw us, he immediately came up to meet us, Ye Jiaqi waved to him: "Go, go, I'm going to Shanghai with Young Master Wei, you just go back yourself, don't look at me like that!" Ye Jiaqi's last words were yelled out loudly, and the coachman backed away in fright. Ye Jiaqi had already opened the door, and Ye Jiaqi was willing to go to Shanghai, which made me very happy.

Because in Shanghai, I know several famous doctors. If those famous doctors can diagnose and treat Ye Jiaqi, of course they can find out the source of the disease. I got into the car with him, he drove the car, and after a while, we reached the road, he kept silent, and I didn't bother him. After about ten minutes, he suddenly laughed "haha" and said, "Don't think I'm joking, even though I don't believe it myself, the old and the young just now insisted that I won the prize." Gu, there are at most twenty days left!" I was taken aback, I knew very little about "Gu", I just read it from books, and most of them were read from novels, especially the novels written by Huanzhu Louzhu.

This is the first time I've heard the words "bewitched" from a person. I tried my best to keep calm. I knew that Ye Jiaqi was willing to tell me the whole story, so I said calmly, "What's going on? Tell me slowly." Ye Jiaqi was silent for a moment: "In order to collect biological specimens, I went to Yunnan once last summer. Yunnan Province can be said to be a natural zoo and botanical garden." I was surprised and said, "Why didn't you mention it to me in the letter?" Ye Jiaqi said: "I originally wanted to sort out the various specimens after I came back, and when you came to find me, you saw these specimens and were shocked, and then I would tell you."

Those specimens really shocked me.However, Ye Jiaqi's situation at that time was even more heart-pounding, so I never paid more attention to the origin of those specimens.I nodded and asked, "What did you encounter there?" Ye Jiaqi stayed for a long time before saying: "I went with a university lecturer and two classmates. In name, we are a study group. We first went to Sichuan, then to Kangding, and then went all the way south, along the Lancang River to Going south, that journey was simply amazing, the places I passed through, the majestic scenery, I can’t describe it, that journey, it’s like the days of gods!"

I didn't have any special reaction to Ye Jiaqi's words. This section of the road is full of the most rugged and difficult mountain roads, as well as untouched wild lands. The journey will never be pleasant. Of course, he exaggerated. Ye Jiaqi continued: "We have been stopped in a Miao village about 80 miles south of Pu'er. That place is a small valley among the mountains." Ye Jiaqi said: "Beside the Lancang River, there is a Bajing River flowing into the river. The water of that river is really wonderful. The water of the Lancang River is so fast, but the water of that river is as calm as a mirror and as clear as a mirror. Like crystal!"

There was a look of yearning on his face. "We used two gold beads to buy a bamboo house from a Miao man who built it by the river. This kind of house is very interesting. The roof is all made of banana leaves, and the rain sprinkles on it, making a wonderful sound. , We originally brought the most modern tents, but in that place, the houses built by the Miao people did not know what method was used to prevent poisonous snakes and insects from crawling in." "Originally we planned to stay for a month, but a sudden incident disrupted my plan." Ye Jiaqi stopped at this point.

Not only did he stop talking, but he also stopped the car. At that time, the main long-distance transportation was the train, and very few people traveled between Shanghai and Suzhou by car. Therefore, when the car stopped, we all felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet. Ye Jiaqi put his hand on his forehead: "I don't know if it was a dream... Of course it wasn't a dream. That night, I was rowing a small boat on the river, and I was alone. The other three were busy sorting out the things we had collected. arrived specimens. "Suddenly, on the upper reaches of the river, I heard a burst of laughter, and that burst of laughter came to my ears in the silent night, which made me feel very curious, so I rowed upstream and passed For half an hour, I saw many torches in the river, and those torches were all sent out from a very strange boat.

"It's actually not a boat, but a dozen canoes strung together head to tail. I saw many people playing on the boat. I came out with a telescope. I paddled with one hand to keep the boat on the water. They were walking around, holding binoculars in one hand, there were men and women, their clothes were very strange, different from the Miao people I met along the way. "I naturally know that the Miao people in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Guangxi in China are really divided into different races. There are no less than hundreds of species. Miao people are just a general term. Out of curiosity, I have been asking I looked at it before, but unexpectedly, when I was fascinated, there was a sound of water next to my boat. I felt that the boat was sideways, and water splashed on my body. "It startled me, I put down the binoculars, but when I looked down, I couldn't help but freeze. "A girl grabbed the side of the boat with both hands and was looking up at me. Her face and hair were covered with drops of water. Under the moonlight, those drops of water were like pearls, one by one. I have never seen such a beautiful girl since her face slid down, until now, I still don't know how to describe her." Ye Jiaqi was panting lightly, but I remained silent and stared at him blankly. Ye Jiaqi was silent for a long while before saying: "She looked at me, I looked at her, she jumped out of the water and jumped onto my boat, she was almost naked, my heart beat so violently, she is so beautiful , and still naked, I don't know what to do, the boat is flowing down the river, but she doesn't care, pointing to my binoculars. "She must have come down from the string of canoes, and she must have seen me looking ahead through the telescope for a long time on the water, so she was curious about the telescope. "I quickly handed the binoculars to her, and she held it in front of her eyes for a look. She was startled when she just looked at it, and when she let go, the binoculars fell into the water. I quickly reached out to fish it, but it was too late. " Ye Jiaqi continued: "The girl was also surprised. She jumped up and jumped down immediately. I know the river is very deep, so it is impossible to retrieve the telescope. "Yes, when she dived and came up again, I shouted to her: Don't look for it, don't take any chances. "Although she didn't understand my words, my cry caught the attention of the people on the canoe upstream, and the canoe was released downstream. "When those people saw me, they whispered curiously. The girl came up again soon and said something loudly. Those people all jumped into the water. I knew that their hard work was in vain, but I couldn't understand their language, but I couldn't help it. Can imagine. "Those people dived together and searched for an hour, but of course they couldn't find my telescope. At this time, another canoe came down the river. There was a young man in the canoe. When those people saw him, they shouted again. When she cried, she frowned and kept talking to the young man. "The young man's complexion became very solemn. He rowed to my boat and said: 'Sir, Bazhu said, she has lost your treasure, your treasure can make people get out of here, Fly there all at once.” I almost laughed when I heard that. "The binoculars brought the things seen closer, but Ballju—that was the girl's name, of course—thought she belonged to her, and when she was far away, she thought my binoculars were treasures. Since the young man knew Speaking Chinese, I can naturally talk to him. I said: "It's not a treasure, it's just a telescope. If you lose it, forget it. Don't look for it again." The young man seemed to not believe me. "He tilted his head and listened carefully to every word I said, until I said it a second time, then he nodded his head overjoyed, and said a few more words to the girl, and the sadness on the girl's face disappeared , obviously the young man conveyed my words, this is the first time I saw a girl with such a beautiful smile, I really can’t describe it.” Ye Jiaqi paused for a while after speaking here. I just listened blankly, and even Ye Jiaqi, who had been in the scene, felt like a dream when he recalled it at this moment. I was the one who listened to him, so of course I had that feeling. I waited until he paused for a while before I took a breath and said, "That young man──" "That young man is the one you saw in the hotel just now. His name is Brother Meng. He is Bazhu's younger brother and the old man's son." When Ye Jiaqi mentioned the word "that old man", his body He trembled again, and his hands tightly covered his face. In order to relax his nerves and to reconcile the uncomfortable atmosphere in the carriage at that time, I laughed: "That's not bad, a young man from the Han family met a young girl from the Miao family. A poignant smile probably means that she has feelings for you──” I just got to this point when Ye Jiaqi suddenly lowered his hands covering his face and shouted to me: "Shut up!" He shouted so rudely that his saliva sprayed on my face. This made me very surprised, I am not a person who is easy to joke, but I know Ye Jiaqi so well, why did he react so angrily to my words? What did I say wrong? Judging from his demeanor, my words must have touched the wound in his heart that he least wants to be touched by others.But in fact, according to his narration, there must be an affectionate relationship between him and Bazhu, and it seems that things will not be unpleasant if it continues to develop. At that moment, I thought that Ye Jiaqi's "illness" was about to flare up again, I stared at him in astonishment, he panted, and after a full minute, he said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. " I said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, you are in a bad mood and lose your temper from time to time, if you don't do it to me, who will you do it to?" Only true friends can say such things, so Ye Jiaqi listened, held my hand for a long time, and said: "At that time, I was completely fascinated by Bazhu's smile, I thought the same as you, so In novels and movies, I have seen too many things, which made me have a very sweet fantasy in my heart at that time. I saw Bazhu looking at me, and at the same time said to Brother Meng some words. "Then, Brother Meng told me that their tribe is the most authoritative tribe among all the Miao people in the vicinity for hundreds of miles. They are called 'Akmeng tribe', and there are only a few hundred people—" Ye Jiaqi paused again when he talked about this.Then he sighed and said: "At that time, I didn't know that 'Akmeng' meant 'Gu' in their language. If I knew, I might not have gone there. But... that's hard to say Very, because my concept of "Gu" is also very vague, I don't even know that there is a family called "Gu Clan" among the Miao people, and Bazhu's smile──" Ye Jiaqi smiled wryly again, and then said: "Brother Meng said, for many years, the place where they live has never allowed outsiders to enter. Only five years ago, there was a man with blond hair, green eyes, and eyes all over his body. The "weird" with golden hair, tall and hooked nose, and surprisingly white skin, because he saved a member of his family, he entered the place where they lived, and the "weird" immediately fell in love with them. place, so has been living down. "Now, by virtue of my generosity and generosity, I can, as a second exception, go where they live. "After I heard Brother Meng's words, I almost didn't think about it. You know, I was curious by nature. I heard Brother Meng described the place where they lived as so mysterious, and there was actually a strange man with 'green eyes and golden hair' ', then I have to go and have a look. Moreover, Bazhu is looking at me with a smile, she undoubtedly has a very good impression of me, and there is no doubt that she hopes that I will agree. " He sighed again, before saying, "I agreed to him immediately." When he said this sentence, it seemed that he was regretting that he had done an extremely wrong thing. However, I don't understand what's wrong with him, because if it were me, I would definitely agree to go. The area where the Miao people live is originally a place of extreme mystery like a peach blossom garden, not to mention that the Miao people of this family are even more mysterious than other people. The Miao people are mysterious, how can we not check it out? After a long pause, Ye Jiaqi said again: "So, Brother Meng supported me and jumped into his canoe, and rowed forward. Bazhu's canoe was very close to ours, and I couldn't touch her. Conversation, had to look at each other and smile with her. "The canoe goes up the river. Their rowing skills are very high, so the boat moves very quickly. After a while, the boat has reached the cliff by the river. There are many caves on the cliff close to the river. All the people , were singing very beautiful folk songs loudly. But suddenly, the singing stopped! "It was only then that I realized that we had come to a very narrow crevice. The crevice was so narrow that only one canoe could pass through it. Moreover, the river obviously poured into the crevice, so the crevice At the mouth, a torrent formed. "The torrent produced great power, so that once the canoe was swayed and aimed at the crevice, it would be carried by the force of the torrent and flow straight into the crevice. "It was pitch black in the crevice of the mountain. It was a very long and winding road. No one made a sound. Except for the sound of the water, there was no second sound. Moreover, there was no need to row the canoe, and it was completely along the water. dripping. "About 20 minutes later, the eyes suddenly became clear, and we had come out of the mountain crevice. "And when I saw the scene in front of me clearly, I was really stunned, I really don't believe that there is such a beautiful place in the world! "After the canoe came out of the crevice of the mountain, it slowly sailed into a large lake. The moonlight shone on the calm lake, making me feel immersed in a silver light. "Beside the beautiful lake, I saw many houses. The appearance of the houses is also special. They have very skillful, pointed roofs, and high shelves. The houses are erected in the air. Every house has a long shelf. The ladder leads to the house. "There was the bang of a leather drum, which must represent some kind of language. Then, countless torches appeared, and dozens of canoes came from the other side of the lake. "Those dozens of boats all welcomed me. I found out afterwards that the Miao people of the Akmeng tribe respected their private opinions very much, and the respect exceeded our imagination. Like what happened on the river, I I can insist that the telescope is a treasure, and if Bazhu loses my treasure, I can not only demand extremely high compensation, but also ask Bazhu to be my slave, and she has no choice but to refuse. "However, I don't care about it generously, and Bazhu is the daughter of the highest-ranking person in their clan, so it is only natural that I receive a grand welcome. "I was swarmed ashore, where I first met the 'Golden Retriever' who made me laugh out loud. "I never dreamed that the 'golden-haired weirdo' that Brother Meng said was by no means a prehistoric monster, but a civilized person. He was a famous Swedish biologist who disappeared in the interior suddenly five or six years ago. The authority of learning, Professor Pinner, several college textbooks are written by Pinner! "But it's not fair to say that Brother Meng made a wrong description. He just described a well-known thing in great detail. This famous professor is indeed blond and blue-eyed. Moreover, he Even under the moonlight, his golden hair shines strangely. His nose is high and his skin is white. In a word, he is a typical Nordic. A young man who only lived in the Miao area, It's hard not to think of a Norse as a man-eating monster. "Professor Pinner was very happy when he saw me, and patted me vigorously on the shoulder. His English has a very strong Nordic accent, and he kept talking to me, but he just Talked to me for a few minutes before being interrupted. "More than twenty young men and women crowded me into the biggest house. I didn't understand what they meant. Brother Meng squeezed out of the crowd and said in my ear: 'You should go see me father.' This is a reasonable request, because it seems that the father of Brother Meng and Bazhu is the patriarch of this clan. "I nodded, and Brother Meng added: 'You must go in alone, it is a special honor.' I smiled and walked forward to the door of the house, which is very It was woven of the thinnest kind of straw so closely that, as I pushed my hand toward the door, I suddenly heard Professor Pinner shout: 'For God's sake, don't go in!'" Ye Jiaqi stopped here after talking about it. He buried his own head deeply in his hands. I knew that he might have some painful memories, so I didn't rush him. Ye Jiaqi was in that mysterious place, and what happened next is beyond my imagination, so I have no way to ask him anything. After a while, I heard him say again: "I was stunned for a while, I didn't know what Professor Pinner's shout meant, I looked back, but the people around me had already started singing and dancing. , I don't see Pinner, and I don't hear him say anything more—well, if I'd listened to him then, I'd have kept that door open." Then, he sighed again: "But at that time, I was completely bewildered by this novel environment, and I didn't even think about Professor Pinner's chanting, so I stretched out my hand and opened the door, and walked in. "Although the door is only made of straw, it has excellent sound insulation effect because it is very thick. So when I pushed the door and walked in, and closed the door, I couldn't hear anything. "The light in the room was very dark. When I just closed the door, I could hardly see anything. For fear of being rude, I just stood still before I could see clearly what was in front of me. "When I was standing still, I first smelled a strange smell. It was hard for me to tell what kind of smell it was. It was a mixture of several smells, some were fragrant and some were fishy. This smell , making me feel that I am in a foreign land, I am in a mysterious environment that I cannot understand! "It didn't take long for my eyesight to adapt to the dark environment. I saw an old man sitting on the ground in the middle of the room. "I think that old man must be the father of Brother Meng and Bazhu. I was thinking about how to salute him more decently, but suddenly I saw a bunch of six or seven, about three inches long, red. The poisonous scorpion was crawling on the old man's naked upper body! "The tail hooks of those six or seven poisonous scorpions are raised high. I am a student of biology, so I naturally know that this kind of highly poisonous poison, as long as its tail hooks sink down and hook into the human body, then , No matter how strong a person is, he will die within half a minute! "At that time, I was so frightened that I couldn't say a word. At this moment, I felt itchy on the back of my hand, and I quickly raised my hand to look, alas, I really can't describe the horror in my heart , I don’t know when, on the back of my hand, a black spider covered with long purple-black hairs climbed up. I just took one look, and I can immediately conclude that this spider is one of the most poisonous spiders in the world, although Most of the purpose of my coming here is to find such a spider as a specimen, but when such a spider appears on the back of the hand, it is a very unpleasant thing anyway. "I stood stiff and trembling. The old man smiled, bowed his body, and swept a broom made of bird feathers on the back of my hand. The spider swept the ground, and the spider, Quickly crawled towards him, climbed onto his knees, climbed up his body, I clearly saw that the spider crawled under his side, then lay down motionless, as if returning to its Just like in your own nest! "I felt dizzy for a while. In such a situation, I didn't care about etiquette. I quickly opened the door, and I almost fell off the ladder. When I got to the bottom, Brother Meng asked me quickly, saying: 'My father What did you do to you!' I took a quick breath and said, "He...he seemed to put a spider on the back of my hand!" "I don't know if I'm right in saying this, because in fact, I only saw the spider crawling back on him, but I didn't see the spider crawling out of him. "However, when Brother Meng heard what I said, he cheered immediately. I don't know what he shouted, but everyone shouted, and the cheers were thunderous. At this moment, Bazhu was also pushed out. She Obviously dressed up on purpose, her head was covered with small white flowers that gave off a strange fragrance, making her look more like a fairy. She was pushed to my side, and Brother Meng shouted to me:' You are considered a member of our clan, and Daddy has approved your marriage to Bazhu!' "Until this moment, I was suddenly surprised. My marriage with Bazhu? I never proposed to Bazhu. , the moonlight is so bright, Bazhu is so beautiful, and the people's singing and dancing is so fanatical, I really can't resist so many temptations, so, after I stayed for a while, I didn't make any distinctions, and immediately hugged Bazhu . "Batch after batch of people poured me a very sweet wine. It was a crazy moment. After I drank the wine, I ran away with Bazhu. At that time, I never thought Marrying Bazhu, I just feel that this is my love affair. Bazhu is beautiful, but marrying her is unimaginable. When she was lying in my arms, I was already thinking, when I go back When I go to Shanghai and tell people about this affair, how many people will be envious!" Ye Jiaqi stopped again, and smiled wryly at me: "If I really can't be saved, it will be retribution. Isn't Bo Xinger always going to have retribution? But...but I never loved her from the beginning to the end. Don't love her at all." I want to blame Ye Jiaqi a few words, since he doesn't love Bazhu at all, why didn't he refuse immediately. But I didn't make a sound, because I understand Ye Jiaqi's mood. From his narration, I can fully understand the situation at that time. Is there any young man who can resist the temptation of the half-naked Miao girl?Moreover, as Ye Jiaqi said, he thought it was an affair, that he could leave at any time, and he didn't have to be responsible! Ye Jiaqi shook his head vigorously, and said again: "In this way, after seven days, I thought of Professor Pinner. I wanted to see him, but he didn't know where he was. I remembered my specimen collection team, so I Tell Brother Meng and Bazhu that I want to leave. "However, when I told them so, they answered me only by shaking their heads, which irritated me so much that I finally left without saying goodbye, and slipped out of another rapid in the rock. "As soon as I got out of the gap in the mountain and came to the river again, Brother Meng caught up with me. He asked me to go back immediately. Of course I refused. He finally said: 'You have no choice but to go. But I might as well tell you that our clansmen are the best at playing Gu. My father, me, and Bashu are all masters in this way. You must never leave for more than a year, and you and Baju are married Yes, you can't get married again!' At that time, I only regarded his words as a meaningless threat! "Of course I ignored it and told him that I was a civilized person and that it was impossible for them to expect me to live in such an uncivilized area as theirs! "Brother Meng didn't care about what I said, and just said to himself: "Ba Shu allows you to leave for one year. Within one year, you must come back. If you don't come back, you will definitely go crazy. Your madness will come gradually. , after more than half a year, it happens every ten days, and then it becomes more and more dense until it is completely crazy. But if you actually marry someone else, then you must die tragically on the morning of the second day of marriage!' Brother Meng spoke very seriously, as if his words would definitely come true. "At that time, I was forced to stop me back in order to avoid their large group of people chasing me, so I just perfunctory and told him that I would go home and make arrangements, or I would come back and live for a long time. "That night, when I returned to the camp, I immediately forced the native guides to set off overnight. After a few days, we were far away from the Miao area. People asked me where I was in those few days, and I only said that I lost my way. I didn't I mentioned that passage to anyone, and I myself forgot about it, but, but..." It is difficult for Ye Jiaqi to continue talking. But he doesn't need to go on, I can think of what he wants to say, when he left, he didn't take Meng brother's words to heart at all, but now, Meng brother's words have gradually become reality! After listening to his narration, the shock in my heart was indescribable, because everything he said was really incredible. Is there really "Gu Art" in the world?Are there really some people who are proficient in "Gu art", who can make people go crazy or die when they don't follow their wishes? If there is, then what exactly is the "voodoo technique"?What kind of power is it? Judging from the situation of Ye Jiaqi in front of him, he has been bewitched and has gradually become crazy, but is it really so? My mind was in chaos, I stayed for a while, and then said: "Jiaqi, take a good rest, wait for me to drive, and when we arrive in Shanghai, we will find a psychiatrist to study it." Ye Jiaqi smiled bitterly: "Until now, I still don't believe Brother Meng's nonsense. Everything is normal for me, and there will be no such mysterious power in the world."
