Chapter 3 The Wu Family in Changsha
The team leader, Uncle Beard, immediately stood up, stepped forward and took out the hatchet placed on the donkey cart. Under the dim moonlight, he squinted and looked at the group of people walking slowly from a distance.
But the light in the forest was very weak, and only a few erratic figures could be seen vaguely.
The other Miao people also picked up their weapons and stood behind Uncle Beard, forming a group.
Ye Bai also stood up with everyone. Since he came to this world, in addition to bringing a system, he found that his eyesight was also different from ordinary people. He could see things in the dark clearly, which was comparable to Chen Yulou's night eyes.
Relying on his abnormal vision, he saw a group of seven people in the distance, including a child about his age leading a khaki dog.
It seems that it was the khaki dog that was barking just now.
"Uncle Beard, there are seven of them in total, and they have a lot of luggage. The three at the back have guns in their hands, and there is a child walking at the back leading a dog." Ye Bai quickly informed the people around him of the situation on the other side.
Uncle Beard.
Uncle Beard nodded. Although he was surprised by Ye Bai's good eyesight, knowing the situation on the other side made him feel more at ease.
"Friends from afar, we are just hunters who go deep into the mountains and forests. We never thought that there are many poisonous insects and strange mosquitoes in the forest. We were not prepared. We saw the fire here and rushed here to see if we could rest for the night.
"A person on the other side shouted loudly.
As they spoke, the group of them stopped, as if to show that they meant no harm.
Although most people in the Miao village do not speak Mandarin, they can still understand basic Mandarin.
Uncle Beard thought for a moment and then murmured something to the people in the Miao village: "These people are armed with weapons and firearms, and they are still wandering in the forest so late at night. I'm afraid they are not peaceful people. You should be careful."
After muttering to everyone, he replied in less than standard Mandarin: "Friends across the way, we are just Miao people from a nearby Miao village. We carried some worthless animal skins with us and planned to go to the county town to exchange for some living necessities.
We do have some insect repellent herbs here that we can give to you for free."
The implication is that we have no money, but we can give some herbs if we need them.
The person on the other side probably understood the meaning of the words, because he replied loudly: "That's great, we need these things exactly, thank you Miao friends."
Wu Guangyuan is a native of Changsha who specializes in robbing tombs. This time he got news from a friend and learned that there was an ancient tomb near Lao Xiongling. In order to prevent others from getting there first, he rushed to drag his family with him.
has arrived.
After arriving, I discovered that there were countless venomous insects and mosquitoes here, specifically looking to bite people. Even the fire-making equipment they always brought was lost by their son. Without a fire camp, these mosquitoes were as fierce as if they had been drugged.
.
Fortunately, Wu Guangyuan discovered sporadic firelight not far away from them, and had no choice but to follow the firelight all the way over.
Only then did the scene just happen.
Wu Guangyuan told the people behind him: "Second brother, take out some of the salt and beef jerky in your bag. I'll come over alone later. You guys have a gun and be careful about everything."
"Master Wu, why don't you bring a gun to prevent these people from having evil intentions." A waiter suggested.
"It's okay. From the accents of these people and the clothes they are wearing, there is no doubt that they are Miao people. If they bring a gun, it will probably arouse their resentment and cause trouble. Take care of the third child here and don't let him
Make trouble again." As he said that, Wu Guangyuan glared at his youngest son.
This time Wu Guangyuan brought his youngest son out just to let him know the dangers in the tomb in advance. Unexpectedly, this little boy had to bring a yellow dog, and he also took away many tools they brought on the way.
Lost it, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a mess now.
"You kid, stay here and listen to your uncle Wu and your second brother. If you cause trouble again, I will stew your yellow dog!" After threatening his son fiercely, Wu Guangyuan took the salt.
and beef jerky, walking towards Ye Bai and others.
Seeing Wu Guangyuan coming with a small bag of things, everyone in the Miao village put down their weapons, but still watched Wu Guangyuan approaching with vigilance.
"Miao friends, this is a little salt and beef jerky, a little bit of our appreciation." Wu Guangyuan said with a smile.
Uncle Beard nodded expressionlessly, stepped forward to take the package, and then handed over the insect repellent herbs.
"I don't know if I can get some kindling. That stupid boy of mine lost the fire-making tools." Wu Guangyuan held the herbs under his arm, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile.
Ye Bai looked at Uncle Beard, and seeing his acquiescence, he took out a piece of burning firewood from the fire and handed it to Wu Guangyuan, and then reminded: "The smoke from burning herbs can repel insects, and the embers after burning can also repel insects."
Bugs, you'd better put out the fire after daylight."
After hearing Ye Bai's standard Mandarin, Wu Guangyuan's eyes lit up as he took the firewood: "Isn't this little brother a Miao?"
Ye Bai smiled slightly and nodded. Without knowing the identities of these people, he did not want to reveal too much information.
"My third child is about the same age as my little brother, but he is too naughty and likes to stay with animals all day long." Wu Guangyuan smiled and chatted casually for a few more words. Seeing that Ye Bai and others were unwilling to talk too much.
Duo, knowing that these people were on guard against them, didn't say much and turned back.
Seeing Wu Guangyuan's group of people walking away, the group of people in the Miao village breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Wu Guangyuan spoke kindly, he was tall and mighty, with a ferocious appearance, and had an aura that was not easy to mess with, so Uncle Beard and others had to be wary.
Ye Bai saw these people disappearing into the night jungle in the distance, and then he said: "These people don't look like hunters."
Uncle Beard added a few firewood to the burning fire, shook his head and said: "Of course they are not hunters. Most of these people are local masters who make a living by robbing tombs."
"Is there a tomb nearby?" Ye Bai became interested.
If there is a tomb, the map in his system will be lit up, and maybe a new treasure chest can be opened.
"Who knows? Maybe there is." Uncle Beard seemed not to want to talk more about this issue, and then said: "These local masters are desperate people with their lives tied to their waists. Stay away from them."
"I will watch the first half of the night, Zhuzi and Laoguai will watch the second half of the night, and the others will go to bed early. We will be on our way tomorrow morning."
After telling everything, Uncle Beard found a place with a wide view, hid the hatchet under his body, and took a nap.
Seeing this, Ye Bai quickly finished the dry food cake in his hand, took another sip of hot broth, wrapped himself in an animal skin, and lay down next to the fire.
The ridge was silent at night, except for the occasional calls of unknown birds and animals.
However, Ye Bai has been rolling around, eating too much at night, going to bed too early, and has some indigestion, and the constant snoring around him makes him feel a little dizzy.
Really unable to sleep, Ye Bai tilted his body and stretched his head to look at Uncle Beard.
Uncle Beard squatted slightly and his eyelids twitched slightly. He seemed to be in a light sleep state. If there was danger, he would probably be the first to jump up.
It's really reassuring to travel with this kind of person.
The mist at night rose and spread in all directions. Ye Bai didn't think too much, he breathed and quickly fell asleep.
At this time, the sound of dog barking was faintly heard in the distance, and then gradually became clearer, as well as the shouts and exclamations of people, and Ye Bai immediately woke up from his sleep.
