The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 32 Secret Realm ([-])

It was not a boat, but there were more than a dozen canoes strung together on both sides. There were many people playing on the boat, both men and women. Their clothes were very strange, different from those of the Miao people in the small Miao village. .

Xia Xiangxi was fascinated for a moment, but couldn't speak, and just stared at the boats and canoes.There was a young man in the front canoe, paddling with one hand, and the boat turned in circles as if in the water.

On the big boat behind, there was a girl holding onto the side of the boat with both hands, looking at Xia Xiangxi with her beautiful neck slightly lowered. Her face and hair were covered with drops of water. Under the moonlight, those drops of water looked like It was like pearls, sliding down her face one by one. Xia Xiangxi had never seen such a beautiful girl before, and she didn't even know how to describe her for a while!

The young man paddling the canoe first rowed to Xia Xiangxi, smiled at Xia Xiangxi and rowed the boat again with one oar, letting the boat circle around Xia Xiangxi.Xia Xiangxi also heard the sound of water clearly, and the young man's oar splashed in the water splashed for a while, and some water splashed on Xia Xiangxi's body.

Xia Xiangxi's clothes were soaked by the cool water, and she regained her senses as if she was taken aback, only to find that she was standing on a raft, and her grandfather and Ma Po were gone.She is not lost in the mountains, but is standing on a raft, floating on a sparkling river.

It may be because she has been "well-informed" about ghosts. Xia Xiangxi knows that the boats or canoes appearing in front of her are terribly weird. These so-called people may be ghosts, but she has no time to be afraid, or she can only It's no use saying you're afraid.

Xia Xiangxi stood firmly on the raft, watching the big boat and the accompanying canoe pass by her.She thought that this would be the end of the matter, but who knew, suddenly a girl jumped out of the stern, fell into the water and swam to Xia Xiangxi's raft like a fish, and then emerged from the water.

Under the bright moonlight like an incandescent lamp, the girl looked at Xia Xiangxi, and Xia Xiangxi looked at her.She jumped up from the water and jumped onto the raft where Xia Xiangxi was, which made the raft shake in the water. Xia Xiangxi was so frightened that she squatted down quickly to keep her center of gravity so that she would not fall into the water.

Drops of water continuously flowed down from the girl's smooth body, like pearls with broken strings.She is almost completely naked. Xia Xiangxi, even a woman, is so embarrassed to see such a beautiful naked body of a strange girl. If she is still on land, she thinks she will pick off the leaves or something, Then cover the girl.

That girl smiled at Xia Xiangxi, that smile was as pure as a clear river, such a beautiful girl, such a beautiful smile, made it impossible for Xia Xiangxi to connect her with ghosts, and wishful thinking that she was human , even though this is impossible.

Someone on the big boat threw a rope made of straw and vines. The girl quickly tied the rope to the raft and pulled it hard. After trying the knot, the knot was not strong, and then the girl jumped into it like a dolphin. Swimming towards a canoe quickly in the water, the man on the boat pulled her, and she got on the canoe, and then climbed back easily like a monkey with the help of the cable thrown from the big boat. The big ship went aboard.

The raft Xia Xiangxi was riding on was carried by the boat and drifted against the current.Xia Xiangxi didn't know what to do at all, so he had to let everything go.

Xia Xiangxi couldn't forget the scene of that day until later when she recalled it. She knew it was not a dream, but she couldn't make herself feel real again.Everything is too beautiful to be true.

The water of that river is really wonderful, as calm as a mirror and as clear as crystal!

After traveling for a while, the big boat stopped, and all the people were singing very beautiful folk songs loudly.But suddenly, the singing stopped!Those original canoes went upstream, and their rowing skills were very high, so the boat moved very quickly. After a while, the boat reached the cliff by the river. There are many caves on the cliff close to the river.

It was the same beautiful girl who jumped out of the boat and swam over like a fish, and then cut the straw rope connecting the raft and the big boat with a gleaming silver dagger. Three other girls swam over, and the four of them grabbed the straw rope respectively. A part of it, dragging Xia Xiangxi's raft to swim forward in the water.

Only then did Xia Xiangxi realize that they had reached a very narrow mountain crevice.The crevice in the mountain was very narrow, and the raft Xia Xiangxi was sitting on could barely pass through it.Moreover, the river water obviously poured into the crevice of the mountain, so a torrent was formed on the crevice of the mountain.The torrent produced great force, causing the raft to sway and sway in the water. Xia Xiangxi, who is not seasick, couldn't stand the shaking. His stomach was churning so badly that he might vomit if he couldn't hold back. stand up.

Such a torrent did not bother the four beautiful girls, they were still swimming freely in the water like dolphins, but the raft suddenly turned sideways and almost hit the stone wall on one side, Xia Xiangxi was covered in cold sweat and didn't care about getting wet He took off his clothes, lay down on the raft, and tightly hooked the wood on the raft with his hands.She knew that if she fell from the raft, she would be swept away by the current, and whether it would kill her at that time was hard to guarantee.

The water splashed continuously, hitting Xia Xiangxi's face and rushing into her nostrils.

The two girls put down the straw ropes they were holding on to and swam to the side of the raft, each holding a corner with their hands.

It was pitch black in the crevice of the mountain, it was a very long and winding road, no one made a sound, except for the sound of water, there was no second sound.

About twenty or ten minutes later, Xia Xiangxi's eyes suddenly became clear, and only then did he realize that they had come out of the mountain crevice.

When Xia Xiangxi saw the scene in front of her clearly, she was really stunned, she couldn't believe that there is such a beautiful place in the world!
After the raft flowed out of the mountain crevice like water, it slowly sailed into a large lake. The moonlight shone on the calm lake water, making people feel immersed in a piece of silver light.

By the beautiful mirror-like lake, Xia Xiangxi saw many strange houses with pointed roofs and high shelves, the houses were erected in the air.Every house has a long ladder leading to the house.It is somewhat similar to the stilt-style buildings that Xia Xiangxi is familiar with, but the difference is that it is simpler.

There was the thumping sound of the skin drum, which was rhythmic, but Xia Xiangxi didn't think it was very pleasant when he heard it in his ears, but it made her inexplicably upset.

Then, countless torches appeared, and dozens of canoes greeted them from the other side of the lake.It seemed to be welcoming Xia Xiangxi's arrival.Except for the rowers who can't take care of themselves, the rest of the people are doing strange postures, stretching their hands to the sky for a while, and bending over like birds flapping their wings for a while.If Xia Xiangxi didn't know that she had arrived in a grotesque world, she might have burst out laughing at these people's antics, and that's all for now.

It was still the four girls who dragged Xia Xiangxi's raft to the shore.Those canoes followed.

There were still a lot of people on the shore, men, women, young and old, who were not wearing clothes, but just wearing the kind of giant leaves that Xia Xiangxi didn't know, barely covering their sensitive parts.When walking, the leaves couldn't fit close to the body, so Xia Xiangxi didn't dare to look at them because of the movements of his body, which exposed what shouldn't be.

When the raft touched the shore, the four girls got out of the water and carried Xia Xiangxi to the shore.Xia Xiangxi always thought they were ghosts, but their hands were warm, ghosts don't, so this discovery surprised Xia Xiangxi.But if they're not ghosts, what are they?
Xia Xiangxi was surrounded by that group of people, and the people around her had already started singing and dancing, similar to those Miao folk songs that Xia Xiangxi had heard in Xiaomiao Village, but the tune was more original.

Going forward, finally a woman around 27 or [-] years old spoke to Xia Xiangxi. She spoke Miao language. Xia Xiangxi couldn't understand the whole sentence, but she could understand the meaning, saying that she was asked to go to a house by herself. .

When they reached their territory, Xia Xiangxi had no choice but to obey.

Walking forward, I came to the door of that house. The door was woven with a very thin kind of grass, and it was very tight.

Although the door is only made of straw, it has an excellent sound insulation effect because it is very thick.So when Xia Xiangxi pushed the door and walked in, he couldn't hear anything when the door was closed.

Xia Xiangxi could adapt to such a dark environment, but because she didn't know what weird things were waiting for her in this room, Xia Xiangxi didn't dare to act rashly. When she started to feel timid again, she told herself that this was just a dream , the things in the dream are all fake, so don't care!

Before his eyes could see clearly, Xia Xiangxi's nose smelled a strange smell first.It was a kind of smell that was hard to describe, just like the perfume that women like to use, it seems to have layers of smell, a mixture of several smells, some are fragrant and some are fishy.

When Xia Xiangxi's eyes finally saw clearly, she saw someone in the room, and an old man with white hair and beard was sitting in the middle.Or because of his grandfather, Xia Xiangxi still has an indescribable intimacy with the elderly.The fear of the mysterious unknown environment in my heart disappeared a little.

Xia Xiangxi called "Grandpa" to the old man with white beard in Miao language, politeness is always indispensable.Regardless of whether these people are human or not!Grandpa once said, "Don't reach out and hit a smiling person", attitude can really determine everything, at least it is a person's fate!
The old man with the white beard had sharp eyes, and his eyes seemed to be shining brightly in the darkness.When Xia Xiangxi's eyes fell on his shoulder, he was startled immediately. There were many scorpions crawling on his shoulder.

Xia Xiangxi grew up in the countryside and is no stranger to scorpions.The kind of earthen kang she slept on when she was a child, in the moist and alkaline soil layer under the earthen kang, scorpions would come and go.There are also houses in the countryside with blue bricks on the outside and soil embryos on the inside, which is also the place where scorpions like to wander around.Now as the living conditions in the countryside have improved, there are fewer houses built with a mixture of bricks and earth embryos. It is rare to hear of someone waking up to find a scorpion crushed to death under his body.
