The departure time was faster than Zhang Chuyi expected. Xia He originally heard that he had two months of vacation, and said that after finishing recording the show, he would return to the capital to have a good get-together with him.
Originally, the air tickets had been purchased, but Zhang Chuyi suddenly had to fly to Miaojiang and had no choice but to change his ticket.
The next day, the group took the morning flight and arrived in western Hunan.
"Fourth, you are such a rare visitor." Liao Zhong, the person in charge of South China, came over from a distance and gave Xu Si a fierce and warm hug.
"Old Liao, why do you still look like you are overindulging after such a long time?" Xu Si looked at Liao Zhong and laughed.
"Fart, my kidneys are so good!" Liao Zhong suddenly fumed with anger. "Your mouth is still as damaged as ever. What's going on in the north recently? It doesn't seem to have stopped in the past few months."
Xu Si chuckled: "What can happen? It's just a few full-sex clowns who have become more active."
"These two are the Zhang brothers. I have heard of you a long time ago. You are indeed extraordinary." Liao Zhong moved his eyes to Zhang Chuyi and Zhang Chulan, stretched out his hand and greeted them warmly.
"You're welcome." Zhang Chuyi held Liao Zhong's hand, "Fourth brother also often told us about your glorious deeds."
"Can Xu Si say something nice about me?" Liao Zhong curled his lips disdainfully, "If he doesn't scold me, he will be like Amitabha."
Xu Si sneered: "You are just judging a gentleman with a villain's heart."
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Liao Zhong slapped Xu Si on the back of his head, walked to Wang Ye, and stared at Li Mo on him.
"This is making animals. After staying in South China for so many years, I have only heard about it occasionally, but now I finally see the real thing." Liao Zhong sighed after finishing speaking, "What a good girl, it's really amazing to have fallen into this skill. I’ve suffered a lot.”
Wang Ye said with an anxious expression: "We are here this time just to ask Grandpa for help in solving the magic."
"I don't have much contact with Grandpa. He lives in Wangu Village all year round. Outsiders can't see him at all. You have to ask the locals to introduce him to you."
Liao Zhong chuckled and nodded with his finger: "But I happen to know such a local, let him take you there, that's fine!"
After saying that, the group got into Liao Zhong's van and prepared to go to the introducer's home.
"Isn't this Xiangxi? Do I need to transfer to another train to go to Miao Xinjiang?" Zhang Chuyi asked curiously after sitting in the car.
Liao Zhong pulled the scar on his face and said with a smile: "Miao territory is a broad concept. The junction of the west of Hunan, the south of Chongqing, and the north of Guizhou is the Miao territory in a broad sense.
In the narrow sense, Miao territory refers to the residence of the Miao tribe, that is, the large area around Wangu Village. "
"Will this place be very exclusive?" Zhang Chulan asked worriedly.
"No." Liao Zhong seemed to remember something from the past, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The girls there are very enthusiastic. Handsome guys like you and your brother are quite popular."
"That said, aren't handsome guys welcome everywhere?" Zhang Chuyi laughed.
Wang Ye rolled his eyes helplessly, knowing that this narcissist was starting to drift off again.
After driving for half an hour, the van drove from the airport into a small countryside.
After a few people got off the car and walked for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the local home that Liao Zhong said.
"Is Lao Liu at home?"
Liao Zhong slapped the door and shouted, as if he would smash the door if he didn't open it.
But before he could take the second round, the door of the mansion opened with a creak.
Standing in the door was a balding middle-aged man with a dark complexion. He pointed at Liao Zhong and angrily yelled: "How many times have I told you to keep your voice down when you knock on the door? If you alert the ancestors, I might kill you!"
The middle-aged man opened his body and revealed a dozen coffins parked in the yard.
The roof of the courtyard was covered tightly with an awning. Even though it was broad daylight, there was no sunlight. The coffins were all padded with porcelain bowls at the four corners and did not fall to the ground.
"This family is raising corpses. No wonder the corpse smell is so strong on their faces." Zhang Chuyi whispered to Wang Ye and Chu Lan.
"Who are these?" the middle-aged man asked as he closed the door and walked out of the house.
Liao Zhong went straight to the point: "My friend's family has been affected by the art of animal creation, and he wants to find the great grandpa to cure him. Do you know the way to Wangu Village? Can you help introduce him?"
"Building animals?!" The middle-aged man frowned, "Didn't the Miao people say that this technique is too harmful to nature and has banned it a long time ago?"
"Do you know Xu Minfu?" Zhang Chuyi said the name of the culprit. "He was the one who used the art of making animals. He should be from the Miao tribe, and he is about the same age as you."
"It's him!" The middle-aged man suddenly realized, "But didn't he go to Thailand to make a fortune and die there?"
"The specific situation is more complicated. It would take half an hour to explain clearly." Xu Si handed a newspaper to the middle-aged man. "On the surface, he is a rich man who is keen on charity, but secretly he uses the art of making animals to do it." A lot of outrageous things.
Li Mo is one of the victims, and there are dozens of people like her in the capital, so when we come here this time, we really need to see Grandpa Gong and ask him for help. "
"Like Liao Zhong, you know everything, right?" The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Chuyi and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Xu Si took out his employee ID card and replied with a smile: "I am Xu Si, the person in charge of North China, and these are my assistant Zhang Chuyi, temporary worker Feng Baobao, and temporary worker assistant Zhang Chulan."
"I remembered, those two brothers from Qi Ti Origin Ryu, right? Why do you think they look so familiar to you?" The middle-aged man suddenly realized, "Since the company has needs, I will take you to Wangu Village.
It just so happens that the Miao Border Ceremony is about to be held. If you go there now, it should be much easier than usual to meet the grandpa. "
After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and shouted into the room, and soon a sweet-looking girl came out.
"Old man, I want to go back to my hometown. Yanyan, are you going?" The middle-aged man looked at his daughter and asked, "If you don't go, please take care of the house."
"With a house full of dead people (meaning corpse in dialect), are you still afraid of someone coming to steal it?" Liu Yanyan rolled her eyes at her father and raised her hand as if to drive him away: "Go quickly, I promise not to go anywhere. Just stay at home and watch.”
"You little girl, how can you talk to your old man like this?" Liu Qiang was angry, but he was pushed out by his daughter.
"Hey, I'm telling you a joke. I've been rebellious since I was a child. I don't know how to educate him." Liu Qiang turned around and said helplessly.
Liao Zhong patted Liu Qiang on the shoulder: "It's been like this for a while. It'll be fine when I become sensible."
Xu Si chuckled: "Have you ever raised a daughter? You sound like a parenting expert. You've been a bachelor for half your life and still pretend to be."
"Who said you can't raise a daughter if you're a bachelor?" Liao Zhong retorted loudly.
If Xu Xiang were here, he would definitely give Liao Zhong a thumbs up.
When a group of people were about to set off, Liao Zhong's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hey Chen Duo... What kind of protection do I need for my colleagues here... Just rest at home and don't go on missions these days... What, you're already here?"
Liao Zhong raised his head in surprise and saw the girl appearing at the entrance of the alley.
The girl was wearing a military green one-piece raincoat and had a cute and cute face, but there was no expression on her face. She had the same attributes of a three-no girl like Feng Baobao.
The most unforgettable thing is her pair of green eyes, which are like emeralds and have a magical power that makes people fall deeply into them.
"Why did you come out alone? Does the rest of the family know?" Liao Zhong hurriedly stepped forward, his tone full of reproach.
"I said I'm here to help you." Chen Duo raised his head and said calmly: "You have been so miserable by that troubled life. If I take action, it will be like killing you. You deserve to rest more than I do."
"You even arranged for me to come." Liao Zhong crossed his arms and said helplessly: "Okay, since you want to come, let's come together, but the place we go to this time is a bit special, so don't show your ability easily. .”
"It's all up to you." Chen Duo nodded obediently without any bargaining.
Looking at this well-behaved girl, some memories came to Zhang Chuyi's mind.
Chen Duo, a name that he really didn't want to remember.
In the original work, if there were to be a competition among the characters, Chen Duo would definitely be in the top three.
She has been selected by the Medicine Fairy Society since she was born to practice Gu with her body, and she is constantly suffering from the heart-gnawing pain of thousands of poisonous insects.
And there are dozens of other children who were selected by the Medicine Fairy Society just like her.
But in the end, he was the only one left alive.
These children use their bodies to practice Gu, and at the same time they themselves are Gu.
They were artificially deprived of all feelings and emotions, and became humanoid tools that could only act on orders from others.
They ate, lived, grew, and fought in a huge vessel, supporting each other, and then had to eliminate each other.
In the end, all the selected children died, leaving only Chen Duo.
At that time, she had not yet received the name Chen Duo. She was the supreme masterpiece of the Medicine Immortal Society, the most perfect poison in the world, and was also called the Holy Child of Gu Body.
Later, Nadu Tong got the news about the Yaoxian Society and sent people to destroy this extremely harmful alien organization.
The Gu-body Holy Boy was solved and finally got the name Chen Duo in the bunker.
There she gained a new life and a mind of her own.
But because of the poison produced by her body all the time, she is a very threatening time bomb to the outside world.
Therefore, Chen Duo was not allowed to leave the bunker most of the time. Even if he became a temporary worker, he had to wear an isolation suit at all times.
Originally, she thought she would be a temporary worker with Liao Zhong for the rest of her life.
But until she met Ma Xianhong, she followed Ma Xianhong's advice and wanted to live for herself and make her own choices instead of following the company's arrangements like a puppet on strings.
But it was certainly impossible for the company to let Chen Duo move freely, and Liao Zhong also died in Chen Duo's hands at that time.
The conflict between the two parties was irreversible, which led to tragedy.
For Chen Duo, she has had no choice since she was born.
Whether he was persecuted by the Yaoxian Society or reborn under the supervision of the company.
The only thing she can make her own decision is to die, which is also her final outcome.
After putting on the dress of her dreams and exposing her body that had been eroded by poison, Chen Duo, accompanied by a group of temporary workers, bathed in the bright sunshine and went shopping for the first and last time in her life.
This may not be the happiest moment in her life, but it should be the most relaxing moment for her.
Because she finally made a choice based on her own thoughts, even if she chose to die.
On her deathbed, Chen Duo met the partners she met at the Yaoxian Society, the friends she had become close to in the bunker, and Liao Zhong, who was willing to die to save her.
Perhaps the happiest time in her life was only when she was with these people.
The flowers, plants and tall buildings in the world are really nice.
But all the beauty and prosperity never belonged to her. Even a light touch was a luxury for her.
Everything is fate, nothing is up to you.
The moment she was selected by the Medicine Fairy Society, she was destined to never be tolerated by normal society again.
So for Chen Duo, this is a dead end with no solution.
The good news is that Ma Xianhong has no plans to build any more self-cultivation furnaces or Biyou villages, and there is a high probability that he will not meet Chen Duo and persuade her to pursue herself.
If Chen Duo hadn't awakened, he might have stayed with Liao Zhong and continued to act as a temporary worker safely.
Zhang Chuyi, the butterfly, has flapped its wings several times, and so far the endings he has gotten are pretty good.
He hoped that Chen Duo would have a good ending in the end, after all, the child was already miserable enough.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Chen Duo, who is also a temporary worker in South China." Liao Zhong said to everyone with his hands on his hips.
"Hello." Chen Duo bowed expressionlessly.
She didn't understand the concept of politeness, but Liao Zhong had told her to greet people she didn't know, so she bowed.
Regarding Chen Duo's life experience, Liao Zhong did not intend to let too many people know. He only said that she knew the art of voodoo. As for where she learned it from, she was vague.
From Xiangxi to Miaojiang, it takes six hours of bus ride, two hours of tractor ride, and then three hours of walking on the mountain road to finally reach the destination.
There is no way. Due to the terrain of the 100,000 mountains, it would be good to open a road around the mountains in some areas. It is impossible to build a road in every area.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
But not every area can build roads into the mountains.
Due to limited transportation, specialties in the mountains cannot be sold, and it is difficult for outsiders to come in. The lack of communication makes it difficult for these places to become wealthy.
However, it is precisely because of the lack of influence and interference from the outside world that many of the customs and customs here from ancient times have been completely preserved.
Of course, it also includes those mysterious and strange folk customs and thaumaturgy.
