The so-called ladder is actually a long vine ladder connected to the cliff.
Qi Xuan looked at the nearly ninety-degree cliff, and said tremblingly: "Can you go down here?" If you go down from here, you won't be able to break into meatloaf in all likelihood.
"Not everyone can walk this way, only the best climbers in our village can walk this way. Otherwise, there will be no bones left." Not to mention the elderly and children, not everyone can walk this way, even the young and middle-aged. All the way. The village chief would take this road to the town when he was young, but since he was a few years old, he dared not take this road again.
I am getting older and have a slow response time. In unexpected situations, it is easy to fall.
Aunt Dou was also a little confused. She used to think that Gu Jiu deliberately placed them behind the village and asked the village chief to stop them from leaving the village, but now she knows that she has been thinking too much. In this place, the village head agreed that they would not be able to leave either.
Qi Xuan asked after a while, "The other road you just mentioned can take four or five days to get to the town. Is the other road a mountain road?"
The village chief nodded, then pointed in a direction and said, "Going around three mountains from that big mountain, and another day's walk to reach the town." Because of a big bend, there is no unexpected situation. Four or five days. If there are unexpected circumstances, it is uncertain.
Qi Xuan asked, "The village chief, what ferocious beasts are in this mountain?"
The village chief said: "There are tigers, blind bears, wolves, leopards in the mountains... If a person encounters these beasts, there will be no return."
This is why they ask many people to go out together every time. Many people are powerful, and as long as they don't take the initiative to attack the beasts, the beasts will not provoke a group of people under normal circumstances.
Aunt Dou also shuddered in fright, and then remembered how she had been in a coma with Qi Xuan just now, and couldn't help asking: "So, we came up from the ladder today?"
Asked, this is basically nonsense. The mountain road to be walked, which is so fast!
The village chief nodded and said, "The man who brought you here is so powerful that they carried you on their backs." The most proficient rock climber in their village only dared to carry a ten or twenty catties. How dare to be like those two people, carrying the big living person on his back and not blushing or breathing.
It was also Gu Jiulu's hand that made the village chief scrupulous. Otherwise, if Qi Xuan spoke so unceremoniously, the village chief would have ignored him long ago.
The three returned the same way.
Passing through the village, I came across a burly man with a hideous scar on his right face.
The man had a sullen face, but when he saw Aunt Dou, his eyes showed amazingness.
Aunt Dou instinctively felt the danger and couldn't help hiding behind Qixuan. Even if the scolding Qi Xuan is a trash snack, he still regards Qi Xuan as a support.
Qixuan didn't like the man looking at Aunt Dou's gaze, blocked Aunt Dou with his body, and then sternly said, "What do you want to do?"
Although Qi Xuan was stern, but the man didn't take him seriously. He pushed Qi Xuan to the ground, then looked at Aunt Dou, and said something to her.
Unfortunately, Aunt Dou couldn't understand a word.
The village chief scolded the man.
The man didn't dare to disobey the village chief's will, but he turned his head to look at Qi Xuan who had fallen to the ground, and left after a vicious sentence.
Qi Xuan got up and asked, "What did he say?"
The village chief glanced at Qi Xuan, and said with pity: "Niti said he will not give up." Just now Niti said that Aunt Dou would follow him and follow him to ensure that she would have meat every day. Just these words, the village chief did not translate.
This savage obviously had thoughts about the Dou family that he shouldn't have. Therefore, the village chief would not give up, and Qi Xuan understood what it meant.
Many people gathered around them to watch. The village chief dispelled the people and took Qi Xuan and Aunt Dou back to his home.
After entering the house, the village chief looked at Qi Xuan and said, "Niti is the most powerful warrior in our village. Although his face was scratched by the bear blind, he is still one of the most powerful hunters in our village."
Qi Xuan said with a cold face, "So what?"
The village chief looked at Qixuan’s small body, shook his brows, and said, “I have to tell you something. Here, if a man doesn’t have the ability to protect his wife, other men will be right when they see your wife. You challenge. If you lose, your wife will belong to him."
Aunt Dou was a little shaky when she heard this. What the hell is this place, you can take a wife casually.
Qixuan didn't have the kind of thought of concubine Ji that he would be my ghost when he followed me. This is why he would tell Dai Yanxin that he had sent his concubine Ji before leaving Beijing. Of course, it is limited to Ji concubine, excluding Dai Yanxin's married wife.
Qi Xuan said with a cold face, "Village Chief, do you mean this Niti wants to snatch Qiao Niang from me?"
"Yes. We respect the strong here. If he challenges you and you lose, then your wife belongs to her." In fact, the village chief is not that he can't stop, but he doesn't want to stop.
More than 40 years ago, there were only seven or eight households in this village. However, it was the war, and they exchanged food for some girls back. At that time, there were wars and famines outside, and the people were unpredictable, so these girls who were taken up the mountain were also relieved to leave behind to have children. But as the life of the people in peace in the world is getting better, they have to spend a lot of money to bring back a girl. And this girl, in all likelihood, does not want to stay on the mountain. So now there are more and more bachelors in the village.
Men who can't marry their wives are bachelor, which is detrimental to the long-term development of the village.
Of course, the village chief only said half of it, and he concealed half of it. If you want to see someone’s wife issue a challenge, you must get the woman’s consent. It's like Niti now looks at Aunt Dou, even if he defeats Qi Xuan, it's useless as long as Aunt Dou doesn't want to follow him. Niti can't be strong, otherwise the whole village will spurn him.
Qi Xuan said viciously: "If he dares to be tough, I will definitely kill him." If Aunt Dou herself is willing to remarry, he will not stop her. But if it is to be persecuted, he will definitely not tolerate this.
When I said this, there was hostility in his words.
The village chief was also frightened by Qi Xuan's momentum for an instant, but he didn't think much about it. If other men are still indifferent to the idea of beating their own wives, then they really are not men.
"I just said that we respect the strong here. If you have beaten Nitti, he will naturally not dare to hit your woman's idea." With this small body, five of them can't beat Nitti. So the village chief is not worried.
Originally, the village chief wanted to tell them about the customs and scruples in the village, but he didn't say what they looked like. Having said that, the two of them may not be able to listen to the state of this meeting.
The village chief said: "You go back first! If you have any problems, you can come to me."
Aunt Dou went back in despair. Entered the room and sat in a daze before the bed.
Qi Xuan shook her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't let him bully you."
Aunt Dou pushed Qi Xuan away, and said, "As soon as he pushed you just now, you fell to the ground. You said, what can you guarantee that he will bully me?"
"I… "
Aunt Dou looked at Qi Xuan with sadness in her eyes: "If I die, you can take care of Yikang for me after you return to Beijing. If not, I will not let you go as a ghost."
Qixuan was anxious and asked, "What do you want to do? Can't you do stupid things?"
"I'm just saying in case." She would rather die than be ruined by this barbarian. If not, her Yikang, how will she behave in the future.
Qi Xuan clutched Aunt Dou tightly and said, "You believe me, I won't let him bully you. If not, I will kill him."
Aunt Dou remembered Gu Jiu's words and asked: "Then tell me, how are you going to kill him?"
Qi Xuan hasn't thought about this yet.
Aunt Dou wiped her tears and continued to ask: "Can you martial arts? You don't know martial arts, how can you kill him?"
Qi Xuan blurted out: "Who said I don't know martial arts." He used to be good at martial arts, but he didn't practice any more after he was abandoned, and he has almost forgotten all these years.
Aunt Dou asked in surprise and joy: "Really? You really know martial arts? Then have you beaten that barbarian?"
"I..." Qi Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you give me time, I will definitely be able to beat him." In such a harsh environment, if you don't have the ability to protect yourself, you will become the fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered. Therefore, he had to pick up the martial arts that he had lost for more than ten years.
"I will believe you again." After speaking, Aunt Dou clenched her fist and said to Qi Xuan: "If you lie to me this time, I will kill you first and then commit suicide." Scared Qixuan. She didn't have the courage to kill Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan froze. The mad woman started to murder her husband.
Aunt Dou didn't give him too much time to think: "Since you know martial arts, then you should hurry up and practice."
Yun Qixuan picked up the fallen kung fu earlier, and she didn't have to worry about it every day.
Qi Xuan didn't want to move: "I feel pain all over my body now, how can I practice exercises. I'll talk about this tomorrow."
Aunt Dou dragged Qi Xuan out of the house with a dark face, and then said: "From now on you will practice the exercises for me, otherwise I will not be allowed to eat at night." Now she can't beat her with this kind of bear, and she still wants to defeat the scar. Male, dreaming.
Grabbing a wooden stick, Qi Xuan practiced.
Gu Jiu, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Qi Xuan practicing, his expression relaxed a lot. Although these handles are fancy, they are not lethal. But the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, it is impossible to eat into a fat man. With such a big change in the first day, Gu Jiu gained another three-point confidence in the change of Qi Xuan.
At the beginning, Gu Jiu was totally repelled to take on this task. As a dark guard, there is never room for rejection.
In fact, Yuxi chose Gu Jiu because Gu Jiu was notoriously cruel. For example, Ah San, who selected Qi Xuan more than 20 years ago, always wrote to her about Qi Xuan's suffering because of his soft heart, and the plan fell short. This time choose a cruel one, even if Qi Xuan suffers more, as long as his life is not endangered, Gu Jiu's temperament will not write to them. I don't know, naturally I won't let Qixuan return to Beijing softly.
