Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 331 The Miao girl is enthusiastic and serves tea in a big bowl

The Miao nationality is one of the Miao people living in Hainan. There are two sources of origin. The first is that they were recruited from Guangnan as soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and later settled in Hainan.

There is a record in the "Yazhou Chronicle" of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty: "There is another kind of Miao Li, with hundreds of families. It often migrates to the east and west Li borders... when it comes out of the city to trade, there is no trouble. Gaiqian and Ming Dynasty, suppress Pingluo Huo, Huoyou Erdong, built Leding camp, transferred Guangxi Miao soldiers to defend, named medicine crossbowman, the back camp was abolished in floods, descendants scattered outside the valley, still named Miao, and is still good at using crossbows."

There are similar records in "Qiongzhou Fuzhi" and "Grateful County Chronicles".

The second type is that a considerable number of Miao people came here to make a living. It is generally said that the Miao people came from Guangnan and crossed the sea by boat, and the first settlement after landing was Huangtian.

Huangtian is a basin, and the Miao people reclaimed this basin into a piece of fertile land.But when the ruler saw that the Miao people lived in prosperity, he went into the village to rob and kill the Miao people.The Miao people had to abandon their homes and flee to the mountains and dense forests.

Most of the Miao people on Hainan Island, also known as Miao Li, live in the high mountains in the south-central region.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially after the reform and opening up, some Miao people moved from the high mountains to the slightly gentle slopes one after another, and the Nangeng Miao people mentioned by Wang Xiaofei are one of them.

Ma Xiaolong is not a person who listens and believes, so he specifically asked Wang Xiaofei, the guy answered fluently, and it seemed that it should be true.

Ma Xiaolong is not familiar with Xiong Wangfei, but he didn't say much. After asking about the same thing, he returned to the car, took out 2 yuan in cash from his bag, and handed it to Yanyan to let her Take my brother to the hospital, but we can't delay, so we have to hurry to the Nangeng area.

Ma Xiaolong had a lot of things to do, so this time Ma Yi'ao was driving, and he made a phone call.

First of all, the first thing is to tell people to send the money to Wu Wanqing tomorrow morning.

After all, "people cannot be established without trust", according to Wu Wanqing's temperament, if such a big incident happened to his daughter, how can he dispel the hatred in his heart if he doesn't kill Wang Xiaofei? back.This is actually a great favor, so if he defaults on this little money, he may not be able to gain a foothold in Yazhou's generation in the future.

The second thing is to let people check the details of the Nangeng Miao people.

He found two people, one is the brother from the Gong family, and the other is an old senior from Yazhou.

The brother in the public house was very cautious. Hearing his question, he immediately asked if he had any new clues, and warned Ma Xiaolong that if there were any clues, he had to tell them not to act privately, or something would happen. As a result, it will make him unable to help the end.

After chatting like this for a while, I just talked about the Nangeng Miao people, saying that it is a relatively closed village, and it has been like this since it moved down from the mountain, maintaining the clan system.

The so-called village chiefs are not as effective as their own clan elders.

Of course, that happened a few years ago. In recent years, as the outside world has changed faster and faster, the ancient Miao village system has also begun to undergo new developments. Last year, a college student was born, which is a big deal. progress.

After hearing the official statement, the old man from Yazhou clearly told Ma Xiaolong that the Nangeng Miao people were one of the few black Miao people in Hainan Island.

The so-called "black Miao" are actually ethnic groups with ancient inheritance and many witchcraft methods, especially the Southern Geng Miao people. There are many things like raising Gu, witch doctor, worshiping heaven, and keeping promises, but their character Introverted, basically don't have too much communication with the outside world, unless you are in a hurry, and methods like witchcraft will not be seen by outsiders.

Moreover, they are very hospitable to their guests and treat their friends very well. As long as they recognize you, they will definitely be happy.

The senior had heard a few stories about someone who was terminally ill, who happened to know someone from the Nangeng Miao Village, who came to seek medical treatment and got a cure, and the stories spread miraculously.

He does know a friend who has a good relationship with the Nangeng Miao people, but that person is in the northeast, and he hasn't been able to find him for a while.

After inquiring about it, Ma Xiaolong called his sister and explained the matter.

When Ma Xiaofeng heard that we were going to the "Gaopo" Miao Village, she was reluctant immediately and told her brother not to mess around, but Ma Xiaolong assured her again and again that he was just going to ask and nothing would happen.

He hung up the phone directly, and asked Ma Yi'ao to drive the car to the gas station to fill up the car.

That night, the three of us took turns driving in the direction of Nangeng Miao Village.

In 2000, that place was not yet open to traffic. We parked the car in a nearby settlement at about 05:30 in the morning the next morning, waited for half an hour, and inquired at the commissary not far away. After a short journey, I set off to Nangeng.

Although the Nangeng Miao people have migrated down from the high mountains in the middle, this area is still a hillside area, the mountain road is really difficult, and here is a tropical forest, walking all the way is actually quite troublesome.

There are dense forests all the way to the front and back, and only in the middle, there is a narrow path that can be barely passed.

Because we were not familiar with the road section, we arrived near a Miao settlement around noon.

We didn't dare to go in directly, but wandered outside. We had to make sure that this was the Nangeng Miao Village before continuing.

When we came this time, apart from asking why that guy named Xiong Wangfei wanted to kill Wei Xiaoqin, there was one more thing, and that was about the whereabouts of the Russian girl Anna.

Because at the beginning, we thought it was Anna, or her companions, who had done something to Wei Xiaoqin.

It wasn't until we found Anna's residence and discovered the struggle there that we found out that Wei Xiaoqin might have been involved in a disaster unknowingly, probably because she saw something she shouldn't have seen, so she was silenced.

What kind of disaster is it, and why is it related to the Southern Terrier Miao people?

These are the things we need to figure out.

It's just that how to investigate this matter is also very troublesome. After all, the Southern Terrier Miao people are powerful. The old man has reminded us repeatedly. After all, there are all kinds of things in it. , may not be able to escape safely.

Even someone like Suzaku can be unscathed, but what about the others?

What about me, Ma Yi'ao?

What about Ma Xiaolong?

We were very cautious, and after discussing it, we all felt that our heads were as big as a bucket, and we didn't know how to proceed. At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from not far away.

what?
At the beginning, we didn't understand what the woman said, but then, she changed to Chinese, and we just understood: "How many of you, which one are you?"

And when we hear the words clearly, we also see the speaker.

They were a few young girls in long blue homespun dresses. The girl who was leading the interview was about eighteen or nineteen or twenty years old. The little face is flushed, exuding a young and healthy youthful atmosphere, and there is a silver horn jewelry on the neck, which looks very energetic.

This is the girl from the village?
I was a little dazed, but Ma Yi'ao was the first to react, stepped forward and said, "Hello."

His tall and handsome appearance and gentle and upright aura made several girls relax. The girl in the lead looked at us curiously, and then asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

She spoke with a little accent, but it was soft and crisp, and it was very pleasant to hear.

Ma Yi'ao explained to them that he was a university teacher and brought a few graduate students to the mountain to collect biological specimens for research. Unexpectedly, the road conditions here are really complicated. We were dizzy and lost by accident. road.

He spoke seriously, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he lied. Coupled with his naturally trustworthy face, the girls didn't doubt it.

Not only did he have no doubts, but he also warmly invited us to go into the stockade to rest.

At the invitation of the Miao girls, Ma Yi'ao went down the donkey along the slope, took some of our students, and followed them into the village.

On the way into the village, the girl at the head gave an introduction very enthusiastically, because their names were a bit of a mouthful, I only remembered hers, which was called An Li (also known as Ali). Of course, this was just an abbreviation, and Ma Yi'ao took the pseudonym Sima Ao, and gave us a random name.

Of course, we are not the point. Almost all the girls have their eyes on Ma Yi'ao and keep asking him questions.

Fortunately, Ma Yi'ao himself is a top student majoring in biology, and he answered these seemingly naive but hidden "murderous" questions fluently, without revealing any flaws.

We were led into the village and walked all the way until we came to a big house. An Li invited us to sit down in the main room, and then went to make tea for us.

She took the two little sisters to the next kitchen, and there was a dark and fat girl chatting with us.

We didn't chat a few words just now, at this time a healthy young man walked into the main room, his face turned dark when he saw us, he mumbled something to the fat girl, the fat girl answered, and the young man went out immediately , I don’t know why I went there, but at this moment, An Li came in with a few big bowls.

She smiled and said to us: "The original guests, we have limited conditions. We don't have teacups, only bowls for eating. Don't dislike it. Drink a cup of tea and moisten your throat..."
