After leaving the stone house, the three of us went to the nearest wooden house.
The window of this wooden house faces the stone house, which makes it easy for us to monitor the movements in the stone house. If the woman wants to tip off her master, we can know it first.
“Boom boom boom!”
I knocked on the door of the cabin.
When the door opened, I was surprised to find that the person who opened the door was the young man we met at the entrance of the Miao village.
Seeing the three of us standing at the door, the young man said with a smile: "So it's you guys, what's the matter?"
I said bluntly: "Brother, we came to your village for something, but we don't have a place to stay yet, so we want to stay at your house. Don't worry, we will pay the money and it will not affect your family's life."
The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard what I said, then he smiled and said, "No problem, you can come in, we have two rooms at home, and we can make one available for you. I live with my grandfather, he has poor eyesight and likes quietness, as long as you don't speak loudly, it's fine."
After that, the young man let the three of us into the wooden house and made us a pot of tea. Thinking of my master's attitude towards others before, I felt a little embarrassed.
The young man's name is Xiao Nan. He returned to the Miao village not long after graduating from college. I didn't ask his grandfather's name, but he is an old man from Miao. The old man has a hunched back, and there seems to be a film in his eyes. He likes to squint, and it seems that he may have an eye disease.
We were taken to the west room, where there was a bed.
Xiao Nan smiled and said, "Brothers, I'm so sorry, we only have two bamboo beds in our house. The one in the east room is used by my grandfather, and this one over here is more spacious, so I'll give it to you. But there are so many of you, I'm afraid there won't be enough room."
My master Zhang Chu's face was no longer cold, and he said to Xiao Nan, "Thank you, little guy. I was not nice to him before, please don't mind it. The three of us can live here. Don't worry about other things."
Xiao Nan nodded and was about to leave, but I stopped him: "Xiao Nan, wait a minute."
Xiao Nan stopped, looked back at me, and asked with a smile, "Brother Yang, do you have anything else to do?" He also imitated the tone of the little monk Yuquan and called me "Brother Yang", which was nothing.
I said, "Xiao Nan, can you tell me about Ana and her apprentice?"
Xiao Nan is a cheerful and outgoing young man. After hearing what I said, he said in fluent Mandarin: "No problem, Brother Yang, just ask whatever you want to know. But I am telling you this in secret, so you can't tell anyone else."
Of course I nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Xiao Nan told us everything he knew about Ana and her apprentice.
The three of us stared at the stone house in the distance while listening to Xiao Nan's statement.
It turns out that Ana has lived in Tianqi Miao Village for many years. Since Xiaonan was old enough to understand, his grandfather has not allowed him to go near the stone house. But children are inevitably naughty, and they want to do things that they are not allowed to do.
So one day, Xiao Nan and a few friends secretly ran to the stone house.
At that time, the Miao girl Ana had no apprentice yet. They entered the stone house when Ana was away. But after entering the stone house, they were frightened.
Because the walls and roof of the stone house were full of bones tied with hemp ropes, many of which were human skulls. They also saw a few wrinkled human skins.
Xiao Nan and several children were frightened.
All the friends burst into tears.
When they rushed out of the stone house, they happened to meet Ana.
At that time, Ana's eyes were cold, as if there was a knife hidden in them, which made Xiao Nan terrified.
Several children were frightened.
If Xiao Nan's grandfather hadn't arrived with the people in the village later, I'm afraid that Ana would have attacked the children. But even so, Ana still beat the tribe leader of the Miao village at that time. Xiao Nan remembered very clearly that the tribe leader of the village had his teeth knocked out, but he still didn't dare to breathe.
This incident is something Xiao Nan will find hard to forget.
There are two more things. One is about Ana killing the giant python. Xiao Nan mentioned it a few times when they were at the entrance of the village. Now I will just briefly explain it and that will be it.
But the third incident really shocked me, and also made me realize how powerful Ana was. This incident was Xiao Nan's personal experience, and he never mentioned it to anyone else. He only told us today when we asked him about it.
That was when Xiao Nan was a teenager. At that time, he was bathing in a pond upstream of the village.
The weather was hot and humid, and Xiao Nan was ready to go home after taking a bath. However, just as he walked out of the pond and put on his clothes, he saw a figure walking towards the pond.
That person is the Miao girl Ana.
Xiao Nan was so scared that he hid himself.
Ana did not bathe in the pond, but sat down near the water. She sat there quietly, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes closed, looking very strange.
Soon, Xiao Nan saw a worm crawling out of Ana's left ear. The worm was red and looked like an earthworm, but a little thicker than an earthworm.
As a Miao person, Xiao Nan knew that the insect was the poisonous insect of the Miao girl Ana.
After the bug crawled out of Ana's ear, it crawled towards Ana's neck.
After finding the location of the blood vessel, the insect began to suck Ana's blood in big gulps.
At first, the color of the insect's body was a little dark red, but as it sucked more and more blood, the insect's body became brighter and brighter red, as if the blood it sucked into the body would seep out from the surface of the body. It was very scary.
After sucking Ana's blood, the insect slowly drilled into Ana's mouth. The scene that followed made Xiao Nan even more terrified.
After the poisonous insect crawled into Ana's mouth, she opened her mouth, and the poisonous insect lay on Ana's tongue, making a shrill sound.
The sound of the insect chirping continued to ring out. If it weren't for the sound of flowing water nearby, it might have been heard farther. But even so, Xiao Nan still heard it.
And then, the terrifying thing was that as the Gu insects chirped, insects that looked like Gu insects swarmed towards the Miao girl Ana from the woods, making sounds to please her and crawling towards Ana's body.
Soon, Ana's body was covered with those red bugs, densely packed.
And those bugs kept sucking Ana's blood. At first, Ana's body was still very tall, but soon, it seemed to be shriveled. Her face was pale and colorless, like a dead person. It seemed as if her blood, muscles, and fat had turned into liquid and were sucked away by those bugs.
This lasted for more than half an hour. Afterwards, Ana uttered a series of mysterious spells, and the red bugs slowly crawled off her body and retreated back into the forest like a tide.
When Xiao Nan said this, my master Zhang Chu interrupted and said, "Except for the bug that crawled out of Ana's ear, the other bugs
The insects should be ordinary "swimming insects". Although they sucked Ana's blood, they injected the toxins into Ana's body. "
"The purpose of doing this is to better cultivate her life-definition Gu worm and make it stronger. I didn't expect that this method would be used. That Ana is really cruel to herself."
When my master Zhang Chu mentioned Ana, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
I looked at Xiao Nan who was a little nervous and asked, "Xiao Nan, what's going on with Ana's apprentice?"
Xiao Nan thought for a moment and said, "Ana accepted that apprentice a few years ago. He should be from another Miao village. That person's name is Yan Li. As far as I know, she is very violent. But it's strange that since Yan Li came to our Tianqi Miao village, an adult man in our village dies every other year. I don't know what's going on."
"People from the local police station came, but they didn't find any useful clues. However, I heard from the old people in the village that Yan Li is not a good person. She likes to seduce men. And most of the men she seduces will die."
"I suspect that it was probably Yan Li who killed those men. But because of Ana's presence, even the current chief of our village didn't dare to ask too many questions. He could only warn those men not to have any contact with Yan Li to avoid any accidents."
Ana, Yan Li, these two women are not easy to deal with!
Nodding, I smiled at Xiao Nan and said, "Don't worry, we won't tell you anything you told us. If you don't have anything to do, just go and do your work. We don't need anyone to accompany you."
Xiao Nan, who was tactful, nodded with a smile, closed the door and left the west room.
My master Zhang Chu had a cold look in his eyes, still staring at the stone house opposite.
The afternoon passed peacefully.
As evening approached, Xiao Nan brought us food. The food was rich, all game from the mountains, and two roasted, juicy rabbit legs. Yuquan and I devoured it with relish. On the contrary, my master Zhang Chu ate very little.
I stuffed a thousand yuan into Xiao Nan's pocket. He didn't want it at first, but after I kept pushing him, he finally accepted it.
If it weren't for the Miao girl Ana, this "Tianqi" Miao village would really be a great place for sightseeing.
As the sun sets, the evening glow dyes the sky a bright red.
The wind blew in from the window, which was very comfortable.
"Master, please take a rest first, I'll keep an eye on it." I stood up and said.
My master Zhang Chu looked at me, shook his head and said, "No, you guys can rest, I'll be the only one watching. I won't let that Miao girl Ana go, she is a disaster, she deserves to die!"
It seemed that my master was not in a good mood. Helplessly, Yuquan and I leaned against the bed and fell asleep.
At night, the air outside was cool and insects were chirping.
The moon was like half a human face, looming behind the dark clouds.
I felt a chill and woke up from my sleep. I looked out the window and saw my master Zhang Chu was still standing there.
Looking at the time, it's already past ten o'clock in the evening.
"Master, take a rest."
I opened the quilt and sat up. Because of the matter of Miao girl Ana, I didn't sleep well.
My master didn't turn around and said calmly, "No need."
I went to the window and looked out. The stone house in the distance looked like a sleeping beast, lying there, motionless, its body looming in the darkness.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, a light suddenly appeared on the other side of the stone house.
