Chapter 38: The Five Poisons of the Younger Sister of the Miao Family
It has fallen into the night and is as cold as water. Looking out from the window lattice of the stilted building, the moon in the sky is extremely bright. Meng Xinghe was pulled by the hospitable Mai Yi at the dinner table to drink several bowls of medicinal wine soaked with various herbs by the Miao family. Until now, My head felt heavy, and I couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, so I simply got up and admired the Lingnan night.
There was silence all around. In the bustling Miao village without lights, only the gray moonlight could be seen spreading like gauze in every corner of the village. This kind of place is almost the same as Meng Xinghe's hometown Taoyuan, and the villagers who live there They are all small people in a small country who are full but not hungry. No one knows about the big things happening outside. They guard a few acres of old land, a house, and three or two children. Although they have to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, they are It is this life of being content with destiny that makes such people enjoy it very much. At least they will not worry about too many intrigues and ups and downs in the outside world.
Meng Xinghe did not sigh. In life, there were always times when someone would envy someone. When he was bored, he touched the thing in his arms and laughed secretly that the world is only worth a stone. Is this a kind of irony?
The area of the Miao Village is not very wide, and you can see the end at a glance. At night, the sound of water in the Tuojiang River in the distance sounds like nature is playing music. Meng Xinghe can't help but think of going to Phoenix City tomorrow morning. He laughed. With this thing on his body, it would not be a big problem to persuade Yang Xuangan to surrender. But from now on, Lingnan has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. How many years will it take for the Han family and the Miao family to truly live in harmony.
He can only take one step at a time. Anyway, Meng Xinghe doesn't need to worry about running the country and bringing peace to the world. As long as he does what he should do, there are so many people in the world who are eager to make suggestions for the entire Tang Dynasty. What kind of worry does he have? .
He took back his thoughts, maybe because he had to get up early tomorrow, and it was inconvenient for Meng Xinghe to "think too much" here. But just when he was about to turn around on the bed to sleep, he suddenly heard subtle footsteps outside the door because of his excellent hearing. The sound came.
It seemed that there were two people. Judging from the subtle voice, Meng Xinghe actually knew that there were two people outside, and they were a man and a woman. At this moment, he was suddenly not sleepy at all, and was cautiously prepared in the room. If the person who came was targeting When he comes, he must be careful.
"Brother Bunuo, I'm afraid that Han family member is sleeping. I saw him drinking a lot of good wine prepared by my father before. Our people will get drunk after just one bowl of such wine. He actually drank a lot. Now he must be head over heels. Lying on the bed like a dead pig,"
Tiptoeing to the door of Meng Xinghe, the Miao woman Ayi looked around to make sure there was no one, then quietly came out and took out a bamboo basket, "Brother Bunuo, let us teach that Han family a lesson,"
Bu Nuo knew what was in the basket. Ai Mei had been going to the mountains with Father Mai to collect medicine since she was a child. She was not as weak as the Han women. She was not afraid of poisonous snakes, scorpions, toads, and centipedes. She often caught them. In the basket in front of her , it must be filled with some poison, now the Han family will suffer a lot.
"Ha," Miss Ayi grabbed a silver krait snake out of the basket without fear. She gently opened the door of Meng Xinghe's room and quickly put it in, like a little girl who had done bad things, with bright eyes. of secret joy.
"I'll release another krait." Maybe she felt that a krait was not enough to scare the Han family. Ayimei, who was prepared, immediately grabbed a one-foot-long krait from the basket, and then she opened the mouth of the basket. Put it on the ground and shake it gently, some centipedes, toads, scorpions and the like inside will rustle towards Meng Xinghe's room. The scene of all five poisons coming together is quite spectacular.
Meng Xinghe had been in the room and witnessed with his own eyes the antics of Ai Mei outside. Hearing her talking to herself and saying something to herself, Meng Xinghe felt that it was necessary to play with her.
"Brother Bu Nuo, the Han family inside will be scared to death later." After releasing the poison, A Yi gave Bu Nuo a look, telling him to watch the show later. In fact, A Yi didn't need to remind Bu Nuo. You know, if the Han people see those things in the house, they won't scream in fear.
"Then let's wait downstairs. As long as he screams in the room, we will come up to watch the show," Buono asked Ayi not to step away and stay here, just for fear that the incident would make others suspicious later. In fact, They didn't have to be so careful because Meng Xinghe heard their conversation clearly from inside.
Meng Xinghe counted the poisons in his room. Good guy, all the five poisons of the Miao border were used. Ayi, the Miao girl, was really the boldest woman he had ever seen. Let alone let women catch these things, just let them see them. One look at it will make you faint.
Although he felt disgusted by these disgusting things, Meng Xinghe was still not afraid.
He found a stick and first caught all the snakes in the house, then found a bag and tied it up, and then cleaned up all the crawling poisonous things. Then, Meng Xinghe started acting.
"Ah, there are snakes," and sure enough, in the quiet night, a horrifying cry came from Meng Xinghe's room, "Clams, toads, scorpions, centipedes, come quickly,"
Meng Xinghe screamed for help at the top of his lungs, waking up everyone in the building.
"Haha, just let him scream a few more times," Miss Ayi, who was waiting downstairs to watch the show, heard Meng Xinghe's frightened screams coming from upstairs, and she felt a sense of pleasure after revenge.
Bu Nuo was not in a hurry to ask Ayi to come and help, but let the Han family suffer more. It would be best to run out of the Miao village that night after such a scare.
They were waiting downstairs like this. When people in other rooms heard Meng Xinghe's screams, they all got up to see what was going on.
"Third brother, what's wrong? Did something happen in the middle of the night?" When Meng Xinghe screamed, Mr. Chai had not yet fallen asleep. He was the first to run over when he heard the cry. Along with him were Luo Feng and Xue Rengui. , Miss Du got up a little later, maybe because she had to get up early and go to bed early for her long trip tomorrow morning.
When everyone came to Meng Xinghe's door, they saw that his door was closed, and there were pitiful screams coming from inside. They didn't know what happened to him, and they were all worried.
"Don't come in, go and find Father Mai," Meng Xinghe had already had a plan in mind, and he would not let his brother suffer from him. With this order, he had already predicted who would come later.
"Just wait, I'll call you right away," Mr. Chai ran away immediately, not daring to waste even a quarter of an hour.
At this time, Buno and Ayi also knew that it was time for them to go up. After all, if they called their father, they might see some traces.
Therefore, when Mr. Chai ran downstairs, the two of them stood in front of him at the same time.
"What's wrong with the Han family upstairs," Ayi asked knowingly.
When he was anxious, people thought so much, but Chai Shao had no idea that the screams of his third brother were caused by these two people. He was so grateful that he didn't have to look for Mai's father, just the two Miao family members in front of him. Maybe it can help them know what happened to their third brother.
"I don't know either, I have to go find Dad Mai,"
"There's no need to look for Dad Mai, we may know something about it," Bu Nuo also suddenly became kind-hearted, which made Mr. Chai's favorable impression of him immediately improve a lot.
"Okay, okay," Mr. Chai led the two of them upstairs to Meng Xinghe's door, "Third brother, Father Mai is no longer here, I've invited Miss Ayi here."
"Ah," Meng Xinghe shouted even louder: "There are so many snakes, so many centipedes, come quickly, I'm so scared," Meng Xinghe snickered in his heart.
"Maybe some poisons ran into the room. This is very common in our Miao family. There are many poisons in Lingnan, so it's not surprising that they ran into the room," Ayi curled his lips and said, feeling secretly happy in his heart. Today What a joy it is to have a good night.
It's common, I'm afraid it's a common discomfort. Meng Xinghe muttered in his heart and said: "Which of you can catch snakes and centipedes? Come in first and drive away the things in my house." Meng Xinghe said it pitifully, but in fact he had already done it. Let's get ready when the two of them come in.
"Creak,"
Ayi and Buno pushed the door open at the same time: "Where is the snake, where is the centipede?"
As soon as the two of them saw any snakes or centipedes on the ground, the ground was clean and there was no scene of the five poisons running rampant.
"Ha," Meng Xinghe said with a bad smile: "Snakes and centipedes are just above your heads." As he said that, he suddenly pulled a rope he had been holding in his hand, and with a crash, both Bunuo and Ayi When they were frightened, above their heads, the bag that had been tied by Meng Xinghe opened. Snakes, centipedes, and toads all fell on the two of them.
"Ah,,ah,," No matter how the little girl of the Miao family, Ayi, was not afraid of the five poisons, but after being hit by so many things from the top of her head, and feeling the cold body of the poisons, she couldn't help but scream. Meng Xinghe's voice was a little louder before.
At this time, everyone standing at the door who had been worried about Meng Xinghe's comfort took a look and saw the disgusting poison falling from the sky on their heads.
"Ugh," everyone immediately felt very uncomfortable in their stomachs. Miss Du, who was already afraid of the five poisons of the Miao family along the way, was even more disgusted and even vomited out.
"Haha," Meng Xinghe appeared in front of the two of them: "How is it, how does the five poisons taste,"
"You," Ayi glared at Meng Xinghe fiercely: "Don't annoy me,"
"I just offended you. What's going on? Wow, this krait is so cute. Miss Du, do you want to keep it as a pet?" Meng Xinghe reached out and grabbed the krait hanging on Ayi's body. Mr. Meng is not a noble man. When he was a child, he climbed trees, dug out birds, went down to the river to catch fish, and frightened the class girls by getting a small snake. The Five Poisons just looked disgusting, so why wouldn't he dare to catch them?
Miss Du had gone back to her room a long time ago and didn't want to see such a disgusting scene. Meng Da shrugged his shoulders: "Second brother, why don't you stew it and eat it? The krait is a great tonic."
"I'm going back to my room first," Mr. Chai thought it was best not to get involved in this matter, so he went back to his room decisively.
"They're all gone," Meng Xinghe suddenly felt bored, "Take your things and walk out for me. If you try anything in front of my door next time, it won't be as simple as today," Meng Xinghe didn't even look at the two of them. After giving the order to see off the guest, he was just repaying the guest with his own body. However, such a punishment was already considered light.
Bu Nuo didn't say a word and remained silent from beginning to end, but Meng Xinghe knew that his hatred was probably greater than Ayi's.
"Despicable Han family, I will make you pay the price," before leaving, Ayi left Meng Xinghe a message, and then slammed the door and left.
Meng Xinghe is not in danger. Who is afraid of whom? All five poisons have been dealt with tonight. Is there anything terrible that can be used?
Who are you trying to scare? Meng Xinghe thought to himself, and began to guess in his mind what Ayi would use against him next time. I heard that the most powerful poison in Miaojiang is not five poisons, but a combination of different poisons. A poisonous poison.
Miao Jiang's poison, this girl can't be so cruel.
Mr. Meng felt very sad. There were very few documented records about Miao poisons, but they were undoubtedly very mysterious and powerful, and the methods of applying and detoxifying the poisons were all strange. He even wondered whether he had been poisoned at some point. Ayi didn't even know he was poisoned. He felt that he was on someone else's territory, so he should be more tolerant. It was a trivial matter.
