Chapter 1 Barren Mountain Black Shop
During the October National Day holiday, Wang Nan decided to go to a small border county with a few friends. It was both economical and affordable. I heard that it only costs a few hundred yuan to enter the border of Myanmar. It was a trip abroad.
So after eight hours of long-distance bus bumps, four people appeared in Simon County, the border between Yunnan Province and Myanmar. Among them, Li Wen was a geological worker. He used to be stationed in this small county for half a year, and he was considered half a local snake. I heard that he even recognized his goddaughter, but now he is probably about two years old.
After half a day of rest, everyone was exhausted from riding in the bus, so they began to follow the plan.
Unable to resist the temptation of the delicious deliciousness of the Dai lemon and spicy chicken in Li Wen, Wang Nan decided to go with him to visit his goddaughter first and enjoy the food. The other two were wandering around the county town to appreciate the national characteristics.
The two figures were staggering on the twisted and grassy dirt road, extremely difficult. Although there was a road but it was impossible to drive, the two had to walk.
The weather in October was extremely hot, and the scorching sun made Wang Nan sweat. In addition, he walked with a backpack of more than ten kilograms (a gift I bought for Lao Li's goddaughter), which made him a otakus a little unable to bear it.
He shook the sweat beads on his forehead and twisted the mineral water bottle in his hand, but found that it was empty and there was no drop of water. He asked weakly at the bad friend in front of him: "Hey, Lao Li, is there no one nearby? Go find some water to drink, I'm going to die of thirst."
Li Wen also looked like he was about to die: "After passing this rubber forest, there should be a small restaurant in front of us, let's go there for a rest."
Sure enough, after turning a corner, a small building composed of bamboo tulles and wooden pillars appeared in front of it and built along the slope.
After the two sat down on the bamboo chair, a middle-aged man with a simple face and a smile came out and greeted them.
After drinking two cups of hot tea, I felt extremely comfortable. I felt that the cool breeze blew under the small bamboo building, and the heat outside was gone.
"Old Li, I was killed by you. I still have to walk more than ten kilometers... Why didn't you say it earlier?" Wang Nan complained and kept beating his aching calves.
"Hehe, you are so home-stop, it's time to go out and exercise, and maybe you can eat wild game to make up for it. Tsk, look at you being thin." Li Wen quipped.
“Wild game?”
"Yes, there are many wild animals here, and they all go to the mountains to beat them. Some of the most common ones are hares. I ate deer meat last time." Li Wen smashed his mouth and felt very lingering.
At this time, several crisp screams of "squeak, squeak" beside them came into the ears of the two.
In the corner of the side was placed a small iron cage, with two wild beasts covered with snow-white bodies as big as cats! Due to the light, the two of them had not paid attention to it before.
"What?" Wang Nan stood up in surprise and looked at the two animals curiously.
"Haha," the owner of the small restaurant happened to come out at this time and picked it up to introduce to the two: "This is the bamboo rat that the villagers caught just yesterday, jumping around. How about it? Do you want to make it just come and try it? It is guaranteed that it will be unforgettable after eating it once."
Wang Nan looked carefully and found that these two beasts were really like mice, but they were a lot larger and their bodies were snow-white. I didn't expect it for a moment.
"How to sell it?" Li Wen asked. This guy used to do geological work and had eaten a lot of wild game in the mountains. He just recalled the deliciousness of the muntjac and was immediately moved.
"Fifty yuan per piece." The boss paused and added: "I can make it for you, stew or stir-fry."
"No need, just help us kill, I'll take it to the front."
The man responded, but hesitated a little and finally spit out a few words for a long time: "Do you give me money first?" Looking at his expression, it seemed as if the two of them would be lying to pay.
Li Wen took out his wallet casually, took out a piece of money from the thick dozen money and gave it to him. The man happily carried the iron cage to the backyard. At the same time, he shouted a few ethnic minority words, and a woman's voice suddenly came from inside, obviously calling for his wife to help.
"Why, the things here are so cheap? This is wild game." Wang Nan asked incrediblely. You must know that the two bamboo rats were extremely fat, and they were afraid that they were several kilograms per kilogram, and pork was only at this price.
"It's not low." Li Wen shook his head and looked out the door: "You don't know the living standards of people here. Alas, maybe you don't believe it. You can buy a small shop for two hundred yuan. Some people even make up less than a hundred yuan by selling the house. A bamboo rat like this costs at most ten yuan."
He pointed at the rubber forests in front of him: "These are planted by outsiders, and then asked the locals to help take care of them, and they would give them 300 yuan a month."
Wang Nan couldn't help feeling it and joked: "You guy's wallet is only afraid that there are four or five thousand yuan, aren't you afraid that you will be snatched?"
"Haha, this little money is useful here, it's not a big deal if you go out." Li Wen smiled bitterly, so he didn't care.
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and both of them were resting almost the same, but there was no middle-aged man bringing out something.
"I said Lao Li, why haven't you moved yet?" The pot of tea in front was already drunk by the two of them, and Wang Nan could no longer wait.
As soon as he finished speaking, a creaking sound was heard, and the small bamboo door was gently pushed open, and a woman walked out with a small black cloth bag.
"Finally done?" Li Wen hurriedly met: "We are still waiting to go, so we won't bother."
The woman just smiled and shook her head, obviously not understanding Chinese.
At this time, Wang Nan suddenly felt something was wrong! This black cloth bag was so small, how could it be that two fat bamboo rats could be contained?
"Wait!" After shouting, the woman had already opened the cloth bag!
Only a few buzzing sounds were heard, and several colorful things flew out of them and rushed towards the two of them.
Oops!
Wang Nan's neck numbness, and he was obviously stinged by something. He was suddenly weak and shaking down. With his eyes squinted, he saw the man standing by the bamboo door with greedy eyes! A thought came to his mind instantly: Could it be that he was really killed by money?
"Old Wang, Lao Wang, wake up!" A few low calls faintly came into Wang Nan's ears, awakening him from his coma.
When he opened his eyes, it was already pitch black, with stars in the sky, and then a burst of cold breath that made him shudder.
After calming down, they realized that the two of them were in a huge pit at this time. After moving for a while, they found that they could not use any strength. They could only smile bitterly at Li Wen and shake their heads: "What's going on? I think we were fascinated by the drug, right? Fortunately, we saved our lives."
"Not that optimistic," Li Wenluo recalled, and then explained to him: "The thing that we slap during the day should be the butterfly Gu unique to their clan. It is said that it was formed by sealing the blood of dead babies in the earthen altar to raise pupae. It is also called the butterfly. After being bitten, it will be weak all over and it will take at least three days to recover."
"So scary?" Wang Nan felt a little creepy.
The two of them briefly searched their bodies. Obviously, the wallet was gone, and even the wedding ring on Li Wen's finger was brushed away. However, a black and non-iron ring worn by Wang Nan still existed. This thing was left to him by his grandmother, who was eighty years old in his hometown. It is said that it was passed down by his ancestors. There was no way, and under the insistence of the old man, he had to wear it on his hands. Perhaps because it was too inconspicuous, it was not taken off.
This deep pit is high and vast. If they want to turn it out in their current state, they will have to work hard. Even so, they dare not hesitate at all. Escape is important.
After walking a few steps forward, Wang Nan was immediately tripped by something under his feet and almost fell down. He looked down in the moonlight and found that a white bone was actually stomping on his feet! His legs were stuck between several ribs, and the white skull above the ribs seemed to be shaking in the eyes of the eyes!
"Old Li! Old Li!" Wang Nan screamed in shock, and the echo immediately spread in the deep pit.
Li Wen in front of him had stopped at this time and did not answer Wang Nan. He pointed his arm slightly forward and trembled slightly: "You...you...you...you look..."
Not far ahead of the two, the bones were as deep as a mountain! At first glance, under the moonlight, there was a white patch, human bones and animal bones intertwined, and there were countless tiny green lights lingering, which was obviously the legendary ghost fire!
The two of them were stunned for a moment and couldn't speak.
Li Wen took a few breaths of heavy breaths, barely calmed down, and said stammeringly: "I heard before... I used to hear that there is a...a place for abandoning corpses nearby. I didn't expect that...we were actually thrown here by...!"
The two of them have received higher education. Although they don’t believe in any theory of ghosts and gods on weekdays, they really appear in front of them, but they are different things.
At this moment, only the sound of two people breathing in the quiet night. Suddenly, a familiar buzz sounded softly!
It seemed as if they were awakened by the two of them, and colorful butterflies slowly flew out of the bones, and the sound of the clear sound continued!
A thought suddenly flashed through Wang Nan's mind: Since the corpse is abandoned here, there is no smell of rotten corpses, can it be said that these things make a living by eating meat?
The cold sweat slid down instantly, grabbed Li Wen's hand and shouted loudly: "Go away!" As he finished speaking, the butterflies also spread their wings and flew towards the two of them.
Li Wen understood what Wang Nan meant, and didn't say much. The two of them ran away quickly. However, after only a few steps, they were blocked by the edge of the pit more than four meters high in front of them. With their current weak limbs, they would get angry if they walked a few more steps. It was a dream to turn over.
The butterfly is already forced to the back of his mind!
A slight pain came from the edge of his neck. Wang Nan felt a little blurred in his consciousness. He knew in his heart that he had been bitten by the terrifying thing. Then several more needle pricks came, and obviously several more butterflies bit him.
The black gas visible to the naked eye quickly spread from Wang Nan's neck to his face and continued to go down. In his hands, the black ring that looked like iron and non-iron flashed at this unknown moment, emitting a faint and dim fluorescent light. It was just concealed by the bright light of the moon and did not attract attention.
When he is in danger, the potential of the human body can often be instantly stimulated and do incredible things. Wang Nan was bitten several times in a row, and he knew in his heart that he might not be able to escape, and a stream of passion suddenly surged into his mind!
He shouted to the sky, and all his strength was concentrated in his hands, hugging Li Wen's waist and swinging it hard!
Li Wen's 140-pound body was immediately thrown high, flew over the edge of the pit, and fell into the distance.
"Old Wang!" Li Wen turned his head and roared. But he saw a colorful ocean sweeping by, and his friend's body was instantly swallowed up.
With a loud bang, Li Wen fell heavily to the ground, his throat sweetened and he fainted.
A thunder sound suddenly came from the air, and a lightning flashed through the sky, dazzling the sky, shooting down straight towards Wang Nan, who had been completely surrounded by the butterfly!
Slight black smoke drifted in the air, and Wang Nan and even the colorful butterflies seemed to be shattered by thunder, and they completely disappeared!
