There is a small town down the hill.
There are many stilted bamboo buildings built near the mountains in the town, which are residences, and the appearance is very unique.
The streets were filled with men and women dressed in Hmong service.
"It's all Miao people, don't talk nonsense."
Qin Xiaohui reminded in a low voice.
"I know," the pony nodded and smiled, "but to be honest, these Miao girls are really smart, and their little bodies are ......."
Seeing Ye Shaoyang and Qin Xiaohui looking at him together, he immediately stopped.
It was already dark, and the three of them had walked for most of the day, and they were very tired, but Qin Xiaohui was not in a hurry to take them to stay in the hotel, but searched the street, and finally chose a very small hotel.
There are only two small bamboo buildings in the store, and the rooms add up to only a dozen or so, the rooms are very simple, but the furniture is very Miao characteristics.
Qin Xiaohui asked the shopkeeper for a few meals and sent them to the room to eat, sour soup fish, oil tea, blood tofu, and a small bottle of sweet wine, all of which are typical Miao food, and it is in the mountains, the taste is more authentic, Ye Shaoyang and Xiaoma are very satisfied, after eating, Qin Xiaohui asked the shopkeeper a few cups of worm tea.
The liquid like black tea has a special fragrance when you drink it, but it feels completely different from ordinary tea water.
"Very good, what kind of tea is this?"
Ye Shaoyang asked curiously.
Qin Xiaohui hid her face and smiled.
"The name is worm tea, you name it."
Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and his expression was immediately a little uncomfortable.
"No......
What kind of bug corpse, right?
” "No, it's not a bug corpse, it's ......
Bug droppings. ” The pony just took a big sip in his mouth, and when he heard the word feces, he snorted and sprayed it all on Ye Shaoyang's face.
"Don't waste it!"
Qin Xiaohui rolled her eyes, "Isn't this similar to honey, now insect tea is selling well in other places, and everyone likes it very much." ” Pony waved his hand, "I can't, I don't have such a heavy taste." ” That night, it rained lightly outside, and the raindrops hit the outer layer of the bamboo building, making a very pleasant sound.
Ye Shaoyang was lying on the bamboo bed, thinking that he was still in the city yesterday, but today he spent the night in such a Miao village in the mountains, this feeling is quite wonderful.
At this moment, he heard a creaking sound under the bamboo bed, as if something was crawling on the bamboo board, looked down, and suddenly froze: In the bamboo board of the ground where it was used, there was a very thick bamboo tube, and a hole was broken in it, and a snake with a red body and a cockscomb on its head protruded half of its body from it, and a mouse was in its mouth.
After seeing Ye Shaoyang, it immediately retracted into the bamboo tube, and then Ye Shaoyang heard a crawling sound of the rope and gradually moved away.
Is that......
A snake with a cockscomb?
Ye Shaoyang wondered if he was wrong.
This happened, although Ye Shaoyang was a heavenly master, he didn't dare to be careless, wrapped a red thread around the frightening bell, hung the four feet of the bed, and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when Ye Shaoyang got up to wash, Qin Xiaohui came over and knocked on the door, and then called Xiaoma over, and the three of them gathered in a room, waiting for breakfast.
Ye Shaoyang told what happened in the middle of the night last night and asked Qin Xiaohui what was going on.
"The owner of this shop, a wizard."
"What!"
Ye Shaoyang was taken aback, instinctively thinking of the Gu Master, he had also heard that there was a hotel opened by the Gu Master in Miao Village, which specialized in killing people by Gu and even killing people for money.
Pony also thought of this, and said in shock, "Then you still take us to live in a store like this, and it hurts us!"
Suddenly picked up his fat belly and shouted, "Oh, there must be Gu in the food we eat, I feel something wrong in my stomach now, ah, a little dull pain......"
"You're still in pain," Qin Xiaohui said to him, "Don't think about it, the owner of this shop is a white witch, not a black witch, so I took you to live here, it's the safest." ” As soon as the pony heard this, he immediately felt that his stomach was no longer painful, and asked, "What's safe?"
” Qin Xiaohui said: "What you saw yesterday was the cockscomb snake, it is the house spirit of this store, it usually lives in a house full of bamboo tubes, if it encounters danger, it will protect the people in the building, especially in the face of Gu insects and the like."
It doesn't hurt, unless you're not a good person. ” As he spoke, the proprietress came to deliver breakfast and placed a bamboo plate with oil tea and baba on the floor.
The proprietress is a Miao girl, with big eyes and pointed chin, especially her skin is particularly watery, looking like a little girl in her twenties.
Qin Xiaohui looked at her and said something in Miao with a deliberately blaming expression on her face.
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, explained repeatedly, nodded apologetically to Ye Shaoyang and Xiaoma, and withdrew.
"I told the story, she said that the cockscomb snake usually lives in a bamboo tube, and it almost never comes out, but yesterday it was because it rained, and the rats ran into the house, so the cockscomb snake ran out to catch the mice......"
Ye Shaoyang smiled bitterly, thinking that it was fortunate that the cockscomb snake had gone back at that time, otherwise if he made a move and killed it, it would be a big trouble.
The door was pushed open again, and the proprietress still came in with a dinner plate, smiled apologetically at the three of them, and said in Chinese: "I offended a lot yesterday, I made a few cups of tea to apologize to a few people." ” "Well said, well said."

The pony stood up by himself, picked up the teacup, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and looked at Qin Xiaohui with a bitter face: "Worm tea ......"
Qin Xiaohui said: "This is people's atonement tea, you can't help but drink it." ” After speaking, he took a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Ye Shaoyang immediately covered his stomach and ran to the toilet, and said without looking back: "I have a stomachache, go to the toilet, I guess I won't be able to get out for half a day."
Pony, you can drink my cup for me, it's cheap, you kid!
” The pony looked at his boss lady with a smile and anticipation, and silently picked up two cups of insect tea, well, tea made from insect feces......
Bidding farewell to the town, the three of them continued to be led by Qin Xiaohui, following the downstream of the Qinglong River and walking towards the mountains.
Qin Xiaohui explained to them that they were originally going to take a car to a city, and then rush to the Dead Man's Ditch, but now because they are walking, they have avoided the city and will rush directly to the Dead Man's Ditch.
After walking for half a day, at noon, I came to a barren mountain range, which is a primeval forest surrounded by mountains, and even the mountain people have not gone deep into this place to live, and there are many mountains everywhere, and there is no way to distinguish the route.
"Dead man's ditch, it should be not far from here."
Qin Xiaohui looked at the shadows of the mountains around her and said, "I haven't been to this place either, so I have to find a way to get there." ” Ye Shaoyang looked around, now that the sun was in the middle of his head, he couldn't even identify the direction, so he asked Qin Xiaohui how to find the way.
"I have a way."
After Qin Xiaohui finished speaking, she sat on the ground, took out a shiny Fang Ding from her backpack, took out a handful of millet from somewhere in the bag, poured it into Fang Ding, buckled a metal cover full of mesh, and then selected several blades of grass from the ground, crushed them, and spit out the juice through the top hole.
Holding the mesh with both hands, she closed her eyes, and there were words in the air, and after a while, she withdrew her hands, and a miracle happened: From the mesh at the top of the metal cover, a white moth with a whole body flew out, the size of a finger, and after drilling out of the square ding, it fluttered away in a certain direction.
Qin Xiaohui hurriedly put Fang Ding away, looked at the direction where the moth was gone, and said, "Hurry up, it's the Dead Man's Ditch!"
