Chapter 27 Yin Yuxi Sun Jian's visit to the southern Ye of the barbarian territory to look for worms (23
Seeing that Hua Teng finally compromised and agreed to lead the way, Nan Ye nodded kindly and apologized, "It's just that I'm not good. It makes the girl anxious. I hope you don't blame the girl."
Hua Bei, who can walk with Nan Ye, also cheered and took Hua Teng's hand and said, "Sister Hua Teng is the best!"
Hua Teng smiled bitterly and led everyone on the road again. What reassured Huateng was that every time Nanye went to a cave, he had to look at it in advance. Nanye did not enter three caves, but turned around and walked away, only saying that it was ominous to enter the village. This also made Hua Teng believe that Nan Ye's real promising skills and could predict good luck, so he put down his worries.
Nanye did not enter the cave not because there were worms, but because he used his treasure hunting skills to explore and found that there was no hundred-year-old worm in the cave, so he turned around and left. If there is a worm he is really looking for, he will go into the village.
Hua Teng led Nan Ye and his party to the fourth cottage and said, "There is the Golden Silkworm Village ahead. Let's see if there is any danger."
Nan Ye was overjoyed when he heard the words and displayed his treasure hunting skills. This was really a place to break the iron shoes without any effort. The hundred-year-old insects that have not been found in more than ten caves before are actually here, and it seems that there is more than one, and there are five insects gathered in one place.
Treasures: century-old maggots, poisonous worms refined by mysterious witchcraft, survive for a hundred years and can be used to refine invincible golden corpses.
When Nan Ye saw the worm he was looking for in the village, he said, "There is nothing wrong with this village. We will wait to enter the village."
Hua Teng thought that Nanye would also turn around and leave this time, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to enter the village. He was so scared that he shivered and said, "Master, you can take a closer look. This golden silkworm village is named after the golden silkworm, which is the most powerful. This worm is not afraid to cut the fire with a knife, and it is the most difficult to eliminate. Once the chest and abdomen were stirred, it was swollen like an urn, and he bled to death for seven days. It is rumored that this gi can settle accounts, can eat people, and deform. Sometimes it is like a snake, sometimes like a frog, and it can also turn into a child in red trousers to jump around, which is the most difficult to prevent. This culprit is the leader of the culprit. How can it not be dangerous?
Nan Ye was not afraid but happy when he heard it. The materials that make invincible golden corpses are rare in the world. I'm afraid that only this most powerful insect can survive for a hundred years. So he said, "It is precisely because of this powerful gi, people who raise gi will not use it at will. As long as we are careful not to offend the people in the village, we will be safe. If the flower vine girl and the two small cave owners are afraid, they will wait here. I'll be back when I go.
Hua Bei brought three caves in a row and didn't go in. How could she leave the night when she finally met a village that could be entered? Then he will follow Nan Ye to enter the village together. Huateng had no choice but to lead everyone into the village.
Nan Ye also heard a lot about worms and Hua Teng along the way. It is said that this golden silkworm can help the owner gather money and help the owner clean up. It is a very powerful insect, almost to the extent that it can respond to every request. Therefore, in Nanye's imagination, this golden silkworm village should be rich, and every family is full of cattle and horses.
But the actual situation is exactly the opposite of Nanye's imagination. Jincanzhai is not too big, only more than 100 families, because few strangers have become very closed. The households in the village are poor and the houses are old. Not to mention the people in the city, they are much worse than the barbarians in Zhurong Cave.
As soon as the seven Nanye entered the cottage, many barbarians in the village looked at them, but no one dared to come forward to inquire, as if Nan Ye and others were the witches. They also walked a lot of stockades along the way, but they have never seen a cottage so lifeless. There is not even a person to talk to.
As soon as Wang Yue walked to an old man and wanted to ask questions, he saw the old man shaking his head nervously and said, "My family has no gi! There is no gir in my house!"
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, the four people of Nanye were shocked. He thought that the old man would also know that they had come to seek magus. Wang Yue was still experienced and saluted the old man and pretended to be stupid: "Don't panic. I'm a merchant from Jiaozhou and want to collect some animal skins to sell in the village, and don't buy golden drums and musical instruments."
The old man was greatly relieved to hear that Wang Yue misunderstood "Gang" as a "drum", but he still asked carefully, "Aren't you waiting for the wizard sent by the court to get rid of Gu?"
Wang Yue saw that the old man was not an uncertain prophet, but misunderstood everyone's intentions and said with relief, "What is a court wizard? I really don't know. Dare to ask if the old man has good leather goods to sell?"
The old man shook his head and said, "The products in the village have been taken away by the surrounding caves at a low price. What other good goods are there? If you want to make a transaction, you should go to Dazhai. How can you find it here?
Nan Ye said, "To tell you the truth, we came from Zhu Rong Cave, and these three are the guides in the cave. Only because I heard that this village is located in a remote area and it is inconvenient to trade, so I thought that there may be a lot of goods in the village and wanted to get a bargain. Is it possible that there is no stock in the village?"
The old man sighed, "Alas~ The inconvenience of this transaction is true, and the leather goods are cheap, but there is no hoarding. Whoever has good skin has changed food to cure hunger.
Wang Yue heard the old man sigh and asked helplessly, "Is there anything hidden in this? Can the old man tell you directly?"
The old man in the village is probably a lonely and helpless empty nest old man, and there is no one to talk and chat with on weekdays. Seeing Wang Yue's questioning, he became more interested and said, "It's not because of magic..."
After listening to the old man, Nan Ye understood that the sayings of family-raising in the village are all spread by the outside world. The real women are rare. Let alone outsiders such as Huateng and Peng Xiaowu are afraid, even the people in the Jincan Village are afraid of the women. Those who are considered to have sex will suffer all kinds of discrimination and humiliation, and even their relatives and friends are afraid of dealing with them. It is difficult to marry children, daughters are difficult to marry, and even lose their lives.
Because the Han Law clearly stipulates that those who commit witchcraft will be sentenced to death, some Han officials have invited wizards to the village to eliminate witchcraft before. As long as the wizard points out who has a witch, he will be executed and abandoned regardless of whether it is true or false. It is because of this that people in the village are so afraid of Nanye and other strangers. Moreover, because it is rumored that there are mages in the village, and the surrounding caves are unwilling to trade with them, so they are particularly poor and backward.
There is a saying that people are bold to death and timid to starve to death. There are some bold skins in the surrounding caves. They are not afraid of witchcraft, so they take this opportunity to buy low prices in the Golden Silkworm Village to earn the price difference. The village is getting poorer and poorer, but they are rich with a few skins.
The old man was telling a story with a long sigh. Suddenly, the door of a house next to him opened and a woman led the child came out. The child cried with blood on the corners of his mouth.
The woman didn't care about the child. She walked to the door and pointed to another family and scolded, "It's witching! It's gig! I already know who put the brain shell by a knife. If she doesn't take it back quickly, I won't let her go! Yuxuan's family has a feat. She hurt my son and let me know. If she doesn't take it back quickly, I won't let her go! One day, I will carry dung and shower her door, pick stones and smash the roof of her house, so that everyone knows that there are worms in her family, some children can't marry, and some girls can't get married!"
The woman's shouts were full of anger and hatred, and she didn't know who the woman scolded, and she didn't come out to argue. The woman scolded for a while and then took the child back to the house. Nan Ye and others were dumbfounded. Hua Bei couldn't help asking the old man, "What hatred does this crazy woman have with that family? How can she be so abusive?"
The old man sighed and said, "There is no hatred. It is estimated that her child either choked on the blood bubbles by eating hard objects, or was stuck in the throat by chicken bones and fish bones, and then ran out to shout.
After listening to the old man's explanation, everyone understood that the woman wanted to make the "dead" person hear the fear and automatically take back the "dead" through this way of shouting. And the Xuanxuan she scolded was naturally the one she thought was a fangling family. Because this kind of hidden matter is getting darker and darker and unable to defend, the scolded people can only swallow their anger if they don't want to make a big deal.
Nan Ye couldn't help but feel funny when he heard the words. Before listening to the explanation of Peng Xiaowu and Hua Teng, he thought how powerful the magic was. At this time, he knew that the power of this demiliary arts was just a rumor, which was nothing more than the superstition of the ancients, and often blamed some unknown diseases on gui.
At this time, Nan Ye wanted to know who had the five hundred-year-old insects in this village, so he once again used his treasure hunting skills. The result simply surprised him. It turned out that the five insects were indeed in Yuxuan's house, and it seemed that the woman's shouting for a village was not groundless.
