Xiaoyu raised her hand and rubbed her temples vigorously, looking at me helplessly.
I have the urge to fight with the oldest guy in the ancient Miao village, even if I get slapped to death by him.
Chujiu walked the entire mile cursing, not repeating any of the curse words.
"Qin Feng, now I start to admire brother Chujiu from the bottom of my heart."
Xiaoyu gritted her teeth. She had never heard more curse words than in these ten minutes.
"Chujiu, where did you learn these things?"
I refrained from beating Chujiu because the two sentries on the city gate tower were raising their rifles and pointing them at us.
Chujiu looked innocent. He was not swearing or cursing. He was just listing the crimes of several old mad dogs in Gu Miao Village one by one.
From my perspective, I can't tell how big the ancient Miao village is, but I can confirm that the ancient Miao village is indeed closed, and there is only one gate for entry and exit.
When we were approaching the ancient Miao village, I discussed this issue with Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu guessed that the area enclosed by the stone wall was approximately ten acres.
The gate on the stone wall of the ancient Miao village has two black wooden door panels, which look extremely exaggerated and heavy.
I thought of the scolding on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. A group of country bumpkins really thought they were wealthy families in ancient times.
We stood in front of the huge door. The door did not open immediately. From the direction the sentries were looking, they should be waiting for someone's order.
Not long after, Hualou's figure appeared on the wall. He didn't say anything, he just stared at us quietly.
Just when Chu Jiu raised an evil smile and was about to curse again, two half-meter-sized owls appeared in the sky.
The owl circled above our heads several times, then stretched out its sharp talons and swooped down towards Chujiu and me.
"careful!"
Chujiu pushed me away with one hand and dodged the attack of the giant owl.
The owl missed the target and flew over our heads again, circled twice, and then swooped towards Chujiu and me again.
After three consecutive attacks, the Chinese building on the wall and several people standing around began to laugh.
This was obviously intended to give us a warning and make Chujiu and I make a fool of ourselves.
Seeing Chujiu take out a piece of talisman paper from the cloth bag, Xiaoyu stopped it with a smile. This time she would handle it.
Xiaoyu took out the bamboo flute hanging on her belt and joked that she didn't have the money to pay Chujiu for the talisman now.
As the long flute sounded, Chujiu and I avoided the attacks of owls again and again.
"Not only will there be a clown performance, but we will also give you a song."
Hualou rarely spoke Mandarin fluently, and the people standing on the wall laughed even louder.
Chujiu once again avoided the sharp claws of the owl, and even thought about teasing Hua Lou about his talent. When he was doing bad things, he started to become fluent in Mandarin.
"Sister Xiaoyu, what are you doing? If things don't go well, the owl won't die of exhaustion, and I will."
Chujiu dodged the owl that attacked me, ran towards me, and saw the right moment to punch the owl that attacked me.
The owl was hit by Chujiu and let out a sharp howl, clearly filled with anger as it flew into the air.
"Okay, okay, wait a moment, they will be here soon."
I dodged the owl's claws again, and there was a slight buzzing sound in my ears, and a black wasp the size of a thumb flew towards me.
"Holy shit! Be careful!"
I yelled and squatted on the ground. If I were stung by such a big guy, I would probably lose at least half my life.
Then the buzzing sound became louder and louder. The moment I looked up, my scalp started to feel numb. Suddenly a black cloud appeared in the sky and floated towards us.
Looking carefully at the black mass of wasps, which were all about the size of a thumb, Chujiu cursed loudly, and then saw Xiaoyu with a calm face, and then cheered, it turned out to be one of his own.
The two giant owls that were swooping towards us suddenly changed their trajectory and flew back into the sky to hover again.
"Sister Xiaoyu, have you brought all the wasps on this mountain?"
Chujiu stood next to Xiaoyu with a grin on his face, staring at the black patch of sky and laughing heartily.
"How can it be so scary?"
Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Chujiu and smiled, probably within a five-mile radius.
The black wasp cloud did not stop at all and rushed straight towards the two owls. Then the owls let out a mournful howl and flew towards the distant sky.
Our eyes followed the owl wrapped in black clouds. The owl fell straight from the sky a few hundred meters away.
"You killed my pet!"
Hualou's angry voice came from the fence. He had been raising these two owls for more than ten years.
"Hairy monster, if this is how you treat guests, we'll take our leave now."
Chujiu waved towards the wall, grabbed Xiaoyu's arm and walked back, just in time to catch dinner before dark.
"You guys are staying here, Hua Lou, you are wrong. Since the guests are here, we should open the door to welcome them."
A sonorous and powerful male voice came, and I turned around and realized that there were three more men and one woman on the wall.
Hualou bowed his head respectfully in front of the four people who suddenly appeared.
"Little baby, I am the current village owner here."
The man approaching the building had a loud voice, and as he spoke, the tall wooden door was slowly opened from the inside.
"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"
Chujiu nudged me with his elbow and motioned me to look at the door. It turned out that there were five long iron chains behind each wooden door, and five men in Miao clothes were pulling hard on the iron chains.
"Welcome the Gu girl!"
The middle-aged man who had followed Fang Liqun to Fengwang Village shouted loudly, and two groups of figures stood neatly on both sides of the gate, leaving a four-meter-wide bluestone pavement in the middle.
"Good boy, it's a shame. This guy is so powerful. Even the roads in the county are not that good."
Chujiu showed a look of surprise. As soon as the middle-aged village leader standing at the door showed pride, he heard Chujiu continue to say that it was God's fault that the kennel was so well repaired.
"As expected of Lao Li's disciple, he is indeed better than his master."
The short-haired, middle-aged village owner hinted that our people are becoming less and less educated.
The village leader smiled and asked how Lao Li was doing. He hadn't seen him for some days, but the village leader could keep the smile on his face unchanged. This alone showed that he was very scheming.
"My master asked us to tell you that he died a long time ago."
I applauded Chujiu secretly in my heart. Just now I was worried that he would tell the truth quickly.
"Are you a descendant of Qin De?"
The middle-aged village leader's brows furrowed slightly but soon returned to normal, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at me blankly.
"Yes, my name is Qin Feng, and our ancestor did pass away twenty-three years ago."
