Chapter 2: Unfamiliar Xiangxi

Luo Dajin went on to say: "The five poisonous insects are poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes, poisonous spiders, poisonous snakes and poisonous toads. They are the five sacred insects of Xiangxi. You can survive from their mouths because of the protection of the Gu god!"

Xiangxi! It turns out I am in Xiangxi.

I thought for a long time before I remembered that I was taught by Abba. Hunan is abbreviated as "Xiang". It seems that I have already entered Hunan and I don't know how far it is from my hometown.

I shook my head: "What is Gu? Why did you raise me as a Gu? What is Gu God? And why does this jar emit a rancid smell."

This is the first time I have come to Xiangxi, and it is also the first time I have heard of "Gu".

Luo Dajin smiled: "On the character Gu is a worm, and underneath it is a ware. It means to seal countless poisonous insects in a container, and if they are not given food, they will eat each other, and the one that survives is Gu! You! You can cast a vicious grievance. After the Gu worm takes shape, it will cause people to bleed from the seven orifices! You are still young, and you don’t know how to tell you so much.” Luo Dajin paused, “The smell of the big jar is of course the corpse. Smell coming out! There are failed Gu people sealed inside! So, you better not think about running away, be my worm son obediently, and be your Gu people!"

Eight jars, that is to say, before me, eight children were killed here, and I feel that the person in front of me is a reincarnated demon.

I want to live, in addition to going home, I have to kill Luo Dajin and avenge these eight people. I made up my mind.

But the consequences of running away would be very serious. I must be careful. Abba told me that doing things can't rely on brute force alone, but also on wisdom.

To escape, you must outsmart!

I thought about the various reasons, and sighed: "Uncle, I understand that I can't escape. I don't want to die. I am very hungry now. Can you give me some food? We only met in such a short time. , It’s impossible to accept you so quickly... Don’t push too hard!"

After saying this, my heart was beating wildly, for fear that Luo Dajin would see through my falsehood. In addition, I had a few days of bumps and nightmare-like nights, and my energy was exhausted. The most important thing now is to eat enough.

Luo Dajin laughed strangely, and handed over the rice.

The rice was covered with a few pieces of black bacon, and I didn't care what poisonous insects and gu worms were in it, so I started to devour it after I took the bowls and chopsticks.

Luo Dajin moved to another place, and the poisonous centipedes scattered around. It was obvious that the poisonous insects in this cellar were very afraid of Luo Dajin. Luo Dajin looked at the other big jars, and the whole process seemed extremely cautious and careful.

After eating a large bowl of rice, my physical strength recovered a lot, and I turned it out from the big jar. Only then did I notice the dense wounds on my arm. Fortunately, after a night, it was only a little bit painful. I took a sneak peek at the exit of the cellar, then looked at the poisonous insects on the ground, dispelling my plan to take the road and escape.

I stood aside obediently and waited.

After Luo Dajin inspected the jar, he said with satisfaction: "It seems that you understand your situation. If you just ran away, you might have to vomit a few mouthfuls of blood now."

When Luo Dajin spoke, I felt something moving in my stomach, like an invisible bug. The worm does not move fast, so I do not feel pain, but I know that once the worm crawls quickly, it will definitely die.

I was startled in a cold sweat and touched my stomach subconsciously, not knowing when he planted poisonous insects in my body. If I really ran away just now, the poisonous insects in my stomach will inevitably break out, and I won't be able to run far at all.

I said: "Uncle, you bought it with money, and my life is yours. I heard you say that there are eight corpses in the jar, and I'm already scared... Where dare you run away, don't believe me... "

Luo Dajin laughed disdainfully, as if he had seen through my lie.

Luo Dajin took me out of the cellar, and I finally saw the long-lost sun.

Outside is a dense forest, shrouded in thick fog, the lofty mountains do not know where you are, and occasionally you can hear the sounds of beasts. If you want to escape from here, it is simply a fantasy.

There are several dilapidated earthen houses and stilted buildings not far away. It seems that this is a stockade in western Hunan.

Luo Dajin found me a strange dress. After I changed it, he gave me some dried kiwis.

At noon, Luo Dajin wrapped the spiritual position on the shrine with black cloth and carried it on the bamboo basket, and hurried away.

The door to the house was simply closed, not locked.

As soon as he left the house, my heart throbbed and I could take the opportunity to escape.

But just when I walked to the door and stretched out my hand to open the door. I suddenly realized that this was a trap, and Luo Dajin might be guarding me outside the stockade.

As long as I leave the house and run out of the stockade, it is very likely that it will be a severe beating, and even the same as last night, there will be various poisonous insects waiting for me. I clenched my little fist and told myself to calm down. This is a trap. Don't be fooled by your brain. You can't become a corpse in a jar.

I decided to sit in the house and wait for Luo Dajin to return. The whole waiting process was very long. I had thoughts several times in my mind: open the door of the room and ran out. But every time I was convinced by myself.

It was a little sultry in the afternoon, and I leaned on the door table and fell asleep slowly.

When it was getting dark, there was a slight knock on the door.

I woke up in shock, didn't answer immediately, leaned aside and waited for a while. After the knock on the door stopped, a knock on the door was heard again.

I walked over curiously and opened the door slightly. Through the crack of the door, I saw a short girl with two ponytails, a pair of big watery eyes, a few small freckles on her face, and a dark blue suit. Commoner, looks one or two years older than me.

This is the second living person I came here to see.

I stared at her, but didn't dare to speak. I couldn't confirm whether this girl was Luo Dajin's eyeliner, she came to test me on purpose.

The girl did not speak immediately. After about ten seconds, she said, "I live nearby. I saw you being taken into the stockade by a trafficker last night. At sunset, poisonous insects and poisonous worms will be quieter... So I I'm looking for you at this time... My name is Fang Xiaoyuan... Where are you from and who are your parents?"

I learned later that Gu worms are like human beings. They are very slack in the evening. Girls are afraid of the worms in Luo Dajin's house and only dare to come at this time.

I just shook my head and didn't answer her.

The girl Fang Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment: "You...you won't be a dumb! Or you don't believe me... I am a good person. Although there is no good person in Heihua Village, I am a good person..."

Fang Xiaoyuan looked at me eagerly, her eyes red.

There is no change in my facial expression: "You made a mistake, I am not a dumb, and I am not brought by a human trafficker. You go, don't worry about it."

Fang Xiaoyuan’s nose was dripping with sweat, and a few strands of hair on her forehead touched her face. She reached out and said, “I just wanted to help you... I saw some children before, but they all disappeared suddenly, I don’t know where. Hey... you I don't want to believe it, then..."

At this moment, there were two dog barks in the distance, and Fang Xiaoyuan turned to look at the entrance of the stockade: "He's back, I'm leaving. This stockade is weird, you have to be careful..."

Fang Xiaoyuan lost the last words, turned around and ran away.

After a while, I saw Luo Dajin. The bamboo basket behind him was filled with various herbs, and there were two wild rabbits lying on the herbs. The original spiritual position was no longer visible.

Luo Dajin said: "Fortunately, you didn't run away, otherwise, I will go to the woods to pick up your corpse! No one will come to me today, right?"

I was taken aback for a moment and shook my head: "No, I am very tired and have been sleeping at home." It seems that Luo Dajin does have a way to deal with me.

Luo Dajin was very satisfied. He washed and cooked the rabbit, and cooked rice. I followed with a full meal.

After supper, Luo Dajin cleaned the herbs again and made fire for decoction. Soon, a bowl of black soup medicine appeared in front of me.

"After drinking this medicine, your injuries will heal, and you won't be afraid of poisonous gu worms." Luo Dajin said strangely.
