Chapter 53: Overnight

The next morning, with hundreds of people seeing us off, we left Dushan Miao Village.

The one who left with us was Miao Niannian who fought with me yesterday. In addition, six fat and strong mice also left with us.

After communication, I learned that these mice were not rats and carp that ate dead human flesh, but ghost rats and demons.

Legend has it that Yin Ling Rats and Demons are a strange creature from the spiritual world. They can find ore veins in the land and make a living by gnawing ore. If they find good "food", these things will absorb the metals in them, and their muscles, bones and skin will become extremely hard. They are very powerful taming animals, and the largest ones can even grow as big as wild wolves.

Such things are extremely rare, so when I saw a person who was killed by my sword, Niannian felt extremely sad and angry at that time.

However, this hatred was greatly reduced after I let go of the little ice bug baby she carefully nurtured.

Life and death are a battle, and some accidental injuries are inevitable.

From the time I got up until I left Dushan Miao Village, I was confused. I couldn't figure out what happened after I fell asleep yesterday, why Xiong Huo, who was originally angry, came out to see him off, and looked reluctant to part with me, and I couldn't figure out why Mr. Fang, Mr. Village and others were so enthusiastic.

In the end, what I don’t understand is why this Miao Niannian walked with us.

When I talked about this problem to Zhu Chong, she just smiled and didn't speak.

Her mysterious methods were perfect.

I found Miao Niannian. This girl was much more kind than when she was in the competition yesterday. When I heard me ask, I glanced at Zhu Chongchong not far away, and then told me that what Sister Zhu Chongchong said yesterday moved her.

When I asked what it was, Niannian told me that I would never make much progress when I work behind closed doors.

So she wanted to go north with us, and it was so big outside that she wanted to go and take a look.

After I asked, I learned that Niannian was the most outstanding person in the Dushan Gu Miao generation. Her understanding of witchcraft and methods of refining Gu were far beyond her predecessors. She was hailed as the hope of Dushan Gu Miao. However, until yesterday, she knew what it means to have mountains outside the mountain and people outside.

Niannian, who was hit, did not feel depressed, but instead developed an inexplicable ambition.

She wanted to go out for a walk.

Only by opening your eyes to the world can a person go further and continue to migrate. Now he has regarded a foreign land as his hometown and has taken root here. However, he has always been excluded by local ethnic groups and has a very difficult life. She hopes that she can grow into a great witch and can come back to protect her tribesmen.

I have learned about the situation in this area before and know that in the Kokang area, there are warlords everywhere, drug lords, and frequent wars. Surviving here is more difficult than in other places.

I understood Niannian's thoughts and asked her the last question: "What did I drink yesterday?"

Niannian laughed, pointed at the insect in front of her and said let her tell you.

Let the Bug tell me?

Forget it, if this little girl was willing to tell me, I wouldn't be so embarrassed, and I always feel like she is playing with her in her palm.

After leaving Dushan Miao Village, the three of them continued north, passing through the mountains and villages, and passing by several nearby small towns. I was responsible for replenishing supplies and took the initiative to take on the responsibilities that men should have. I tried my best to carry the heavy work and the tiring work on myself. Compared to when I first started entering the mountain, I have made a lot of progress.

The three of them went on the road, but it was much easier than the two of them. Especially the six ghost rats and demons that Miao Niannian could be used as hunting dogs, wandering around the road, which saved a lot of trouble.

After walking like this for some days, the Bug suddenly stopped and told us that the second house had arrived.

Miao Niannian was surprised and said, "Sister, are you talking about it?"

Zhun Chong nodded and said, "You know, too?"

Miao Niannian nodded first, then shook her head, saying that Manmogu Miao is not far from us, so there is some interaction between us, but there is one situation that my sister may not know, that is, Manmogu Miao participated in the Kokang Autonomy movement because of her clan support for Commander Peng. After Commander Peng failed, Kokang's civil strife and Manmogu Miao's village had been razed to the ground.

Razing to the ground?

The insect frowned and said it was impossible. Manmogu Miao was away all year round. Whether it was inheritance or scheming, it was much better than others. Even if it was forced by guns, it might not be able to exterminate it.

Miao Niannian sighed and said that the three countries in northern Myanmar are fighting each other, and the storm is changing. Miao rashly stepped forward and became the target of public criticism. Neither the drug lord Kunsha or the leader Luo can tolerate this thorn in the flesh, the eyes are sand, let alone the Myanmar military government?

The day after Manmogu Miao Village was burned, Xiong Hauntou took his brothers from Dushan Miao Village to take a look. It really turned into white land.

The insect fell into silence and did not speak for a long time.

I saw that her face was a little bad, and I felt a little moved, saying that although the status of a practitioner is considered transcendent, it is really unwise to interfere in politics rashly. Once there is something wrong, it will fall into a place of no return.

Zhu Chong was silent for a long time and suddenly asked, saying that if you can suppress Manmogu Miao, there must be a very powerful practitioner. Tell me, who is that person?

Miao Niannian didn't say that, but just advised her that all this was caused by the man Mo Gu Miao's fault and told her not to fall into this quagmire.

After hearing this, Chong Chong didn't ask again, but said that there was some fate in the past. Since the Manmo Gu Miao has turned into white ground, then we have to pass by, burn a stick of incense to express the feelings of the same sect.

Miao Niannian did not object to her proposal.

After confirming the itinerary, we walked north for half a day and finally arrived at the village where Manmogu Miao originally lived in the evening.

This village has been destroyed for many years. When we arrived, we were covered with weeds and wasteland. Because we were afraid of getting into trouble, no one dared to live here again.

While walking, looking at these neatly cultivated fields and paved bluestone slabs, I could still feel the prosperity of the Manmo Gu seedlings back then. However, when I walked into the village, I saw broken walls everywhere, green plants had occupied the entire village, mushrooms had grown on the charred wood, and I saw some skeletons and wreckage in the corner from time to time, and I knew the tragic day.

Miao Niannian sighed while walking, saying why bother to the beginning and why bother to the beginning.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sound of dog barking suddenly came not far away. We rushed over to see, but saw Niannian's ghost rat demon confronting a fierce dog with a long tongue sticking out.

After seeing us arrive, the beast glanced at us with his red eyes and ran towards the darkness.

Undoubtedly, this wild dog must have eaten human flesh, otherwise it would not have such a fierce aura.

Zhu Chong stared at the broken village for a long time, then said, "Let's live here today and set off again tomorrow morning."

To be honest, I would rather live in the wild than stay in this ghostly place for a while, but I could feel her depressed mood and dared not tease her at will. I looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

That night we stayed in front of the original glutinous yard of Manmogu Miao. I found some dry firewood and set up a bonfire.

The three of them ate a little bit around the bonfire. When I saw that the worm was not interested, I sat cross-legged and started meditating. At this time, Niannian called me and said that someone needed to watch the night in this place. I asked me if I was guarding the night in the front or the middle in the second?

I thought about it and decided to take more responsibility, so I said I would go to bed first, and you would wake me up at midnight.

Niannian nodded and let me sleep first.

I was tired all the way, closed my eyes, and soon I fell asleep. I don’t know how long it took, but I felt a cold all over my body. I subconsciously shivered and woke up. At this time, I suddenly saw the bonfire in front of me extinguished, and the insects and Miao Niannian, who were originally beside me, disappeared.

What's going on?

I pulled my arm hard, confirmed that it was not a dream, and stood up in a hurry. At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew from the depths of the village.
