This third uncle is a kind-hearted old man who takes great care of his fellow tribesmen who have returned from outside. Seeing him trembling slightly when he came down the mountain, both Luo Tian and Ouyang Tian felt apologetic and took special care of his third uncle. The old man was very pleased. Wait a minute.
After crossing the mountain, Luo Tian and the others were sent to the third uncle's house, while Xiao Shun and another young man from his tribe left.
The three of them sat in the yard. The third uncle had already prepared breakfast and put it on the table in the yard: "Come on, you two have been in the mountains all night. You must be cold and hungry."
After being reminded by the third uncle, the two of them really felt their stomachs growling. It was because the discovery on the mountain was too bizarre, so they put aside the stomach matter. They took the scallion pancakes and started eating them with soy milk.
, when he was almost finished eating, Ouyang Tian asked: "Uncle Third, do we still have Gu girls here?"
The third uncle's hand trembled: "What did you just say? Gu girl? Why are you interested in this?"
"This..." Ouyang Tian was speechless for a moment, but luckily Luo Tian had an idea: "I have a friend who is writing a book, and there are many parts about Gu in it. Knowing that I came back to Xiangxi this time, he specially asked me to find materials for him.
I think, to find materials, it’s best to have someone who knows about Gu, not just hearsay, it’s best to find existing Gu masters, Third Uncle, do we still have them here?”
Third Uncle seemed to be very taboo about mentioning this topic, which could be seen from his face. Ouyang Tian looked at Third Uncle like this and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong, Third Uncle?"
"There are indeed legends about this in our place, but the Han people here don't like people who are related to Gu, so these people live in the mountains, a bit far away from here." The third uncle said: "Look.
You seem to be in a hurry. If you want to find it, it's not impossible, but I'm afraid no one here is willing to take you there. That's me. Firstly, I'm old, and secondly, I feel awkward, so I can only tell you roughly.
Find the address yourself."
"Really?" Luo Tian was very happy when he heard what his third uncle said. He originally planned to try his luck, but he didn't expect his luck to be so good. It seems that it was Tian Bujue himself!
"Yes." Third Uncle said: "Everyone here can tell something related to Gu once or twice. After so many years, although they are mentioned less, it is no longer a secret that such a group of people live there.
The young people inside are not engaged in this anymore, but there may be some old people who know the inside story best."
"Great." Luo Tian said: "Third uncle, what is your address?"
The third uncle not only left the address, but also drew a simple map, and told them that the Miao people rarely go down the mountain and usually don't like outsiders to disturb them. Luo Tian and Ouyang Tian must be careful not to make any mistakes when they go there.
The third uncle couldn't tell you what people should be careful about, so they could only wait until it was over before they could act on their own.
Although that group of people lived in the mountains, luckily there was a driveway for driving up the first section, and the rest of the way required a long climb. Luo Tian bought a lot of fruits and snacks when he came up. He only knew one
The truth is that it works wherever you apply it. Luo Tian had no experience driving on mountain roads before. Today he learned what it means to be frightened. He didn't even dare to turn his head.
Looking to the left, I was really afraid that my hands would shake and the car would veer off the lane.
Seeing how nervous Luo Tian was, Ouyang Tian couldn't help but say, "You kid is really as timid as your mother sometimes, but at other times, you are very calm and calm in your busy schedule. Alas."
Luo Tian suddenly stopped the car: "We definitely can't drive through the front, so we have to leave the car here."
Ouyang Tian took a look and saw that the road ahead suddenly broke into two parts. It was completely an uncultivated mountain road with a lot of gravel on it. It should have been paved with gravel by the residents inside. Luo Tianjiang
He unloaded the things from the car and walked inside according to the simple map drawn by his third uncle. With the experience of climbing the mountain yesterday, today was a lot smoother. What he did here was all physical work, and Luo Tian himself found it funny.
About forty minutes later, the father and son saw the cottage in front of them. They looked at each other and smiled, and took a deep breath at the same time.
The two of them headed straight towards the village. It was their good fortune. They bumped into a young man who had just come back from working outside. He could speak Chinese. Luo Tian asked him to help as a translator. The young man was bored and agreed.
, asked him if there were any old people in the village who were good at poisoning. The young man was also a little confused. It seemed that young people nowadays no longer pay attention to the past. Fortunately, the young man went home and asked his grandparents.
When I inquired about it, I really found out very valuable information. There was only one last Gu Master in the village. She was an old woman who was one hundred and three years old. Although she was old, she was very sharp and sharp, because her children all avoided her.
She's not good enough, she lives alone at the edge of the village.
I heard from the young man that there used to be many voodoo girls in this village, which frightened the people outside. Therefore, even if the people in this village went out, they would be ostracized. It was not until the voodoo girls passed away from generation to generation that this situation became less common.
The improvement may be due to the influence of the Gu girl. Everyone in the village has been implicated. Even the people in the village have a dislike for the Gu girl. They usually don't walk in a friendly manner. More importantly, everyone
They all have a kind of fear. Think about it, they can use poison to take revenge on people. This is scary for ordinary people just thinking about it.
"Do you know anything about Gu?" Luo Tian asked the young man. When the young man introduced himself, he said that he has two surnames. This is mainly because the Miao people actually have two surnames, one is Miao and the other is Han.
The surname. The Miao surname is originally inherent; the Han surname was imported by later generations. Because in the past, the Miao people did not have the writing to write their own Miao surname, but used Chinese characters to write the Chinese surname, which led people to mistakenly think that they only have Han surnames and did not know that there was a Miao surname.
.The Miao people have twelve clan branches, namely the twelve major Miao surnames - 仡Pu, 仡楼, 仡Kang, 仡芈, 仡Guan, 仡Ka, 仡cut, 仡Lai, 仡kan, 仡Su, 仡Lao, 仡
Xiongwu.
This young man's Miao surname is Gelao and his Han surname is Chen. He feels proud that he knows his Miao surname. When Xiao Chen heard Luo Tian's question, he hesitated and shook his head: "Now there is Luo Tian here."
My mother-in-law is here, you can ask her in person, I only know a few words and it is not comprehensive."
This young man had worked outside and was very expressive. Xiao Chen led the two of them to the edge of the village. The village was not big. There were only about forty households in total. There were not many people there.
Young people go out to work, some live in the city, there are about forty households, and there are only about twenty people who can be seen walking all the way, so it is really lonely.
Granny Naluo had a cold look on her face. When she saw someone coming, she stood up while drying the chili peppers and was about to walk into her room. Xiao Chen called out in Miao and said a long list of words.
Then Granny Luo turned around in surprise. When she saw Luo Tian again, her eyes seemed to be glued together and she couldn't move away. Luo Tian looked at this short Granny Luo, but she
His eyes were like those of an eagle. Luo Tian immediately took a step back. It was the kind of spontaneous retreat. Ouyang Tian pulled him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Luo Tian couldn't express the feeling just now in words. He could only look at Ouyang Tian and said, "It's okay. Maybe I'm too tired from climbing the mountain."
Grandma Naluo walked straight to Luo Tian, pointed at Luo Tian's nose and said something. Xiao Chen's face changed. He looked at Luo Tian in surprise and stammered: "She said you have something
Gu, you have been poisoned by someone."
The father and son had expected this a long time ago, so they behaved relatively calmly. Luo Tian said, "Mother-in-law, can I still be saved?"
(The following is a direct translation of my mother-in-law’s words for the convenience of conversation) “If the hit is not deep, there is still hope.” Grandma Luo’s eyes were filled with light: “I have never seen anyone poisoned by poison in many years.”
Ouyang Tian was so excited that he rushed to Granny Luo: "What about me?"
"You're not in the way." Granny Luo pointed her finger at Luo Tian: "But he is a little strange."
"Is there any solution?" Ouyang Tian asked anxiously, concerned about his son's safety.
Granny Luo answered the question inappropriately: "Now I am the only Gu girl left here. Back then, everyone called me Spider Granny. That was a long time ago."
"Mother-in-law..." Xiao Chen couldn't help but interrupt Grandma Luo: "Mother-in-law, this gentleman has been poisoned and is asking you if you can cure it. Please stop bringing up the past and help him."
Granny Luo looked at the other two people and waved to Luo Tianyi: "Come with me, you guys wait here."
Luo Tian followed Granny Luo into her stilted building. Granny Luo closed the door and asked Luo Tian to sit cross-legged on the ground, telling him to close his eyes. Luo Tian later opened his eyes once because he couldn't hold back his curiosity.
Luo Tian regretted his impulse very much afterwards. When he felt a tingling sensation on his body, Luo Tian was shocked by the tingling. He opened his eyes and saw a silkworm crawling on his arm.
, and it’s a golden silkworm!
Not long after, Luo Tiancai learned that the origin of this golden silkworm was very remarkable, and that golden silkworm died after this time in order to understand the poison in its body. This was a very precious golden silkworm for the poison master!
Put a variety of poisonous insects, such as poisonous snakes, centipedes, lizards, earthworms, toads, etc., together in an urn and seal them, and let them kill each other and eat them. After a year, only one will be left.
, the shape and color have changed, the shape is like a silkworm, the skin is golden, it is the golden silkworm. Put the twelve kinds of poisonous insects in the jar, bury them secretly at the crossroads, after seven or seventy-nine days, secretly take them out and put them in the incense burner
In the morning and evening, use tea and fragrant incense to worship; the golden silkworms obtained in this way are invisible and exist in the incense ashes. When releasing the poison, take the feces of the golden silkworms or put them under the incense ashes in the food for passing guests to eat. It is said that the golden silkworms love to be clean.
, always clean the house of the person who keeps it.
Because Luo Tian had seen the golden silkworm with his naked eyes, he was naturally more inclined to the former theory. These things were not heard from Granny Luo, but what Luo Tian learned afterwards, because many things could not be learned from Granny Luo.
