The Niu brothers and sisters are more experienced than ordinary treasure hunters.
But even they are afraid of sleeping outdoors at night in Yunzhou.
It is always a good thing to have a place to live, and it can also guarantee basic living needs, which is already rare.
After settling in, Xu Yan originally wanted to go to a free clinic and get a closer look at the situation here.
After all, I am not familiar with this place, and Yunzhou is a notoriously weird and dangerous place, so it would be a good idea to know more about it.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Yan failed in his medical practice.
To be precise, Xu Yan was disliked for the first time after struggling to communicate.
These Yunzhou mountain people are very disdainful and impatient with him as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor!
Xu Yan was very puzzled. He clearly saw that many of these mountain people had sick air, and the sick air was very strong and close to evil.
Although they have no direct symptoms, they should have some chronic diseases. Why would they rather be tortured than receive free treatment?
Several attempts failed, and eventually those people even started to drive him away, looking very unkindly.
Xu Yan had the illusion that his world view had collapsed, so he simply went directly to the largest house in the village. He wanted to ask the clan leader here to find out what was going on.
The bamboo building is large and very old. It looks like it has been lived in for generations and has been weathered.
Just as Xu Yan was about to approach, a tough mountain man suddenly rushed over from the sloping ground, waving a sharp woodcutter and roaring something.
Xu Yan frowned, forced a smile and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask the clan leader something!"
"He can't understand!" An old man smoking a hookah came out of the bamboo building and looked down at the railing on the second floor with an expressionless face.
The old man said something to the arrogant man, and then the man put away his knife and sat directly at the top of the stairs, obviously still on guard against Xu Yan.
Xu Yan was simply baffled, thinking that even if the people in the mountains were tough, they wouldn't be like this, right?
This is no longer a question of toughness or not, why do they all look a little barbaric?
"For the guests outside, if you want to ask anything, just ask!"
The skinny patriarch was smoking a cigarette. He didn't know what was in the pot, but it was crackling and exploding.
"Don't ask about us. You are just passing by and there is no need to know about us."
Xu Yan felt that this clan leader was somewhat interesting. No wonder Niu Jingang complained that he had nothing to do with simplicity and even had a dark heart.
This clan leader should know the outside world very well. Not only can he speak broken Mandarin to communicate, but he also knows that he has some knowledge based on the way he speaks.
"I don't want to know what you mean. It's just that I am a doctor. I am destined to live here. I want to treat the people in the village for free, but why do everyone refuse?"
Xu Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
The patriarch was smoking a cigarette, with strange blue-red smoke floating in the air, covering his grim and furrowed face, and he remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he finally said, "No one in the village is sick. You shouldn't interfere in our lives. This will make us very unhappy!"
"How is it possible that no one is sick?" Xu Yan's eyes flickered, and he pointed at the strong man holding a knife and said: "Even him, even you, the clan leader, should have been tortured by illness for a long time, right?"
"In this environment, is it rheumatism or something?"
"I can help you with treatment and conditioning. This is a doctor's duty. I won't ask for any compensation."
The man at the stairs stood up again in confusion, and started waving the hatchet again and roaring fiercely.
The patriarch smiled strangely and said: "Bamu means that when you enter the mountain, you should take care of yourself instead of staring at us!"
"Go back, I told you, we won't be sick, because Gu Jie will protect us!"
"???" Xu Yan frowned. The word "Gu Jie" was just a weird pronunciation. It was very obscure. He didn't know what the word was, let alone what it meant.
After saying that, the patriarch turned and disappeared upstairs. However, the man named Bamu walked over step by step with a knife. His eyes were a little more ferocious than before. He stared at Xu Yan with a strange smile.
.
Of course Xu Yan would not be afraid of a mountain man, but there was no need to have any conflict with him, so he turned around and left.
They live close to several big trees in the village, and the bamboo house is quite spacious. There is water and food, but they have to process it themselves.
Niu Jingang and Honglian were busy boiling water and cooking downstairs, while Fu Dongliu was bragging with Ergou Laosan. Judging from the way he was chatting, he was probably bragging to the top of his lungs.
Xu Yan came closer and explained the situation, and the two dogs and the third one said cheerfully: "Why are you paying attention to them, Doctor Xu? Anyway, we are spending money to stay in a hotel, and we will leave later."
Fu Dongliu scratched his head and said, "It's quite weird, but this is Yunzhou, and we're so deep into the mountains, not far from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Isn't it normal to be weird?"
"After all, who in their right mind would live in a place like this, right?"
Xu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but said: "What you said makes sense, I can't even refute it!"
"Forget it, you can continue to brag, I'll walk around."
"Doctor Xu, you'd better not go too far." Fu Dongliu chased after him and said, "These people are weird, and they may have a lot of taboos. We can't provoke them."
"I know it!" Xu Yan waved his hand and did not go near those people in the village anymore. He just walked around the bamboo house where they lived.
It was already getting late, and soon everyone at Niu Jingang was ready, and everyone was eating and washing and cleaning up.
After night falls, the mountain wind howls, and the strange roars of unknown beasts come from the surrounding mountains and forests from time to time. It is not necessarily quiet, but it is still a bit cold.
Xu Yan couldn't say what was wrong, and he always felt uneasy.
This feeling is not caused by the attitude of the people in the village, but the overall feeling, or in other words, the feeling given to him by the atmosphere of the entire village?
Xu Yan couldn't explain clearly. Hearing the snoring of the cow King Kong next door, he felt dumbfounded.
He thought about the first time he went treasure hunting, it seemed that he was more out of curiosity and didn't feel much other than curiosity.
Why do you feel so inexplicably nervous this time? Is it because the boundaries of Yunzhou and the Hundred Thousand Mountains are too intimidating?
Thinking wildly, Xu Yan stared at the pale moonlight and gradually began to feel sleepy.
But not long after he wanted to fall asleep, his whole body suddenly trembled and he woke up on his own!
Xu Yan opened his eyes in the dark, inexplicable!
He had never experienced anything like this in his sleep. Why did the Qi move on its own, causing him to feel palpitation in his heart?
I felt it secretly and found that there seemed to be no problem!
While he was wondering, there was a rustling sound in his ears.
At first, Xu Yan thought it was the sound of the wind blowing in the mountains and forests, and then he thought it was the sound of the bamboo building itself under the mountain wind, but then he realized that it was wrong, not at all!
These sounds were obviously mixed with clicking sounds, more like the sounds made by the collision of some arthropod crustacean reptiles, and the sounds were getting louder and louder, and soon it was like a faint tide, approaching quickly!
Xu Yan sat up in shock, kicked Fu Dongliu awake not far away, and whispered: "Get up, there's something going on!"
Fu Dongliu sat up in confusion and scratched his head, not knowing why.
The next moment, on the light brown window paper, black shadows appeared in the moonlight. The black shadows were magnified by the moonlight and cast into the ground of the house, like giant monsters.
Immediately afterwards, those black shadows began to bite the window paper, and countless dense insects began to pour into the gaps between the wall and the door, quickly approaching the two of them!
"Oh shit!" Fu Dongliu was startled and jumped up in surprise.
"Brother Niu!" Xu Yan breathed out, and then the snoring next door stopped. Niu Jingang and others woke up and exclaimed repeatedly.
Needless to say, a few people quickly took out the insecticide and sprayed it on the ground.
This time I went into the mountains and I knew there were a lot of poisonous insects, so I brought a lot of powerful insecticides with me. I didn't expect that they would come in handy now.
This insecticide is indeed powerful. It directly killed many reptiles, but too many came in, and the ones that came in later became larger and larger. They were in groups but distinct, and they did not destroy other things.
, start crawling or taking off with a clear target, and attack people directly!
The angry scoldings of Niu Jinjiang and others came from next door. Xu Yan frowned when he saw this, and stepped back while staring at the door.
Soon, he discovered something strange about the insect swarm, and his eyes suddenly brightened!
Fu Dongliu screamed strangely and sprayed pesticides wildly. The next door also made a hissing sound, and the smell of pesticides filled the air.
"Don't waste it, the spray won't clean it!" Xu Yan said quickly, "Look carefully for their leader!"
Niu Jingang and others were a little suspicious when they heard this. What did they mean?
