Zhang Miaozhu stared at the ginseng for a while, handed the box to An Chen, and said, "Since Jia Sidao doesn't accept the favor of my foster father, you can eat this ginseng."
Her “borrowing flowers to present the Buddha” made me very anxious. The millennium ginseng was given to Jia Sidao by the one-finger craftsman. It doesn’t matter if Jia Sidao accepts me in the end, but the ginseng is transferred to others before it is handed over to Jia Sidao. Didn't I fail Yi Zhijian's trust
Even if the person who gave the gift is a close relative of Jia Sidao, that's not the case.
But to my comfort, before I could speak, An Chen rejected Zhang Miaozhu’s kindness. He said, “The ginseng was given to my uncle, and even if he doesn’t accept it, I can’t get this light.”
"Why. This thousand-year-old ginseng is an immortal herb that brings back life from the dead. It has extremely high medicinal value and can just get rid of the corpse poison in your body. If you don't get timely treatment, you will become a half-human, half-ghost monster."
An Chen said boldly: "Then I can't ask! What my uncle doesn't accept, I accept it, what's the matter!"
"Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Life and death are fate, if my fate should be like this, it won't help to eat anything."
I was worried that the two would quarrel because of this, and hurriedly said: "I think so, the ginseng is not in a hurry in advance, and after I rescue the old man, I will be talking about what to do."
Zhang Miaozhu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, just do as you said." I reached out to take the wooden box containing ginseng, but Zhang Miaozhu avoided and said, "I will keep the ginseng for now."
I turned to An Chen for help, hoping that he could help me say a few words, but An Chen didn't seem to care who held the ginseng in his hands.
But I don't ask her. What if she secretly feeds An Chen or loses it? But if you want, it seems suspicious.
It's really difficult, I'm embarrassed to death.
Zhang Miaozhu asked An Chen, "What are you going to do next?"
An Chen said: "I decided to go to the Qingshan Group karst caves tonight and try to find Xiahouchun."
I asked in a puzzled way: "Why night, can't it be done during the day?"
"The Jiaji people have been looking for me. The goal during the day is too big, and I am afraid of revealing whereabouts."
I asked: "Will the guy who attacked you be a Jiaji?"
An Chen said affirmatively: "No, that group of people is a killer move. Although the Jiaji people are looking for me, they just want to catch me."
Zhang Miaozhu asked: "Then what do you think that group of people will come from?"
An Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't have a clue at all."
Zhang Miaozhu groaned for a moment, and said: "I'm falling in Anpu
I know a local, maybe you can ask him about it. "She thought for a while, and said with certainty: "Well, just go find him. "
An Chen and I asked who it was. Zhang Miaozhu said that he was a Gu master, and he had asked her how to raise Gu before, which seemed to be a little affectionate.
Hearing what Zhang Miaozhu said, An Chen and I immediately agreed to find the Gu Master in Zhang Miaozhu's mouth. Since it is to visit people, of course you can't go at night, so An Chen doesn't care whether he will reveal his whereabouts. After a simple wash, he left the small hotel with Zhang Miaozhu and me.
He rented a delivery van at the farmer’s market. Zhang Miaozhu said a rather awkward name of the village, and the driver drove us over.
It took about an hour, the driver drove us to the destination, collected the fare and drove away. After the van left, Zhang Miaozhu looked around and said, "Let's go."
Instead of entering the village, we crossed the nearby farmland and started to climb the mountain. While climbing the mountain, Zhang Miaozhu introduced to us, saying that it belongs to the Pu'an Longyin area, where the Miao and Gelao people gather. Although there are not many Miao people here, there are also some good people who raise Gu.
Although Zhang Miaozhu didn't say who are good at raising Gu, I understand in my heart that the person she wants to take us to is definitely one of the good hands.
On the way, I also told me what I was looking for An Chen. An Chen smiled and said that Zhang Miaozhu had already told him, and that Jia Sidao would be very happy when he knew about it.
Over the mountains, there is another village. Behind those villages is a mountain forest. With the dense forests, we gradually left the villagers’ residential area, went all the way into the mountain forest, marched along a small stream, and walked. After more than half an hour, the small creek turned into a pool of water unconsciously.
It was a secluded deep pool, appeared among a large swath of tall trees, and at the end of the trees, there was a stilted building standing diagonally on the slope.
The Diaojiaolou is very old. Even if it is painted with tung oil varnish, the vicissitudes of the Diaojiaolou can't be concealed. But the weird thing is that the Diaojiaolou is at least 20 meters away, not to mention trees, not even grass. Not a bit of green. Very weird.
Zhang Miaozhu took us to the Diaojiaolou and stopped. She didn't say a word, and we didn't dare to talk nonsense.
I looked carefully and found that the old Diaojiaolou was different from what we saw in the village when we walked all the way. Its door was not opened from the side, but from the second floor on the front.
Going down the stairs, it was like a big mouth with a long tongue sticking out, looking a bit like a hanged ghost.
An Chen also noticed the anomaly, and whispered: "Such architectural patterns with open doors and hanging buildings and standing alone are generally not welcome to visitors."
Zhang Miaozhu glanced at him and said, "Unexpectedly, you have studied these things."
An Chen said: "In the past six months, I have been in many mountains and forests, and I have visited a lot of places, so I heard people talk about it."
A rare trace of warmth appeared in Zhang Miaozhu’s eyes, saying: “The owner of the house is the most stubborn and traditional Hmong. He refuses to make any contact with the outside world and refuses to accept modern civilization. If you don’t believe it, you will go in for a while. It was found that there was no common electrical appliance such as electric light inside."
I asked: "Is the other party male or female?"
"Miao people usually raise Gu, but he is a male, called Huang Gu. After following me in, no matter what happens, you should not move randomly, and don't make any claims. You must be well-behaved. Did you hear me?"
An Cheng and I said, "Okay, everything is up to you."
Zhang Miaozhu was still worried, and said: "Huang Gu's temper is not very good. You have to stay calm and don't care about anything, you know?"
This time, she told An Chen to give An Chen a special look, and An Chen immediately said, "Don't worry, I have changed my previous character in the cell long ago."
Zhang Miaozhu nodded, and then began to walk forward slowly. I followed behind and looked left and right. I saw that the sky was gloomy. There were big gray moths that appeared only at night flying in the dark. When I got closer, I found these gray moths actually inhabit. Under the stairs of the Diaojiaolou, one is next to each other.
The wings of those gray moths are very big, with one ring after another on it, and the whole body is gray, like human eyes.
I wanted to take a closer look, so I got closer, and found that the rings on the wings really looked like human eyes, staring at me, some full of resentment, some full of resentment, and some others. , Then people are frightened and cannot help but want to go back.
I just wanted to take two steps back, but An Chen pressed it on my shoulder and patted it.
He didn't speak, perhaps because he was afraid of alarming these sleeping moths, but he gave me a lot of encouragement.
The three of them walked up the stairs, Zhang Miaozhu walked to the door, raised his hand and patted the door lightly. There was no response inside, but the door squeaked open, but the room was dark and there was no light.
