Chapter 27 The Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan

The next day was approaching noon, and a group of people arrived in Yunfeng County, "Beauty, this is the street in the city, we brothers and you will bid farewell here." The two returned Xu Yunhan's cell phone to her.

"My brother and I's suitcases are in the trunk, and there are clothes and daily necessities we brought in for a change of clothes and daily necessities. Brothers, can you pull over and let me take the suitcase away?" Xu Yunhan pleaded sincerely, She is really reluctant to part with her luggage, the key is that there are two family heirloom collections of antique materials that she keeps with her.

"Okay, San'er, just pull over and stop the car, sister, we only do such shameless things as kidnapping people for our own safety, and it's all for the sake of living. Come on, big brother will help you carry your luggage out."

After taking back the luggage, she finally put her feet on the ground. Xu Yunhan, who was safe, looked back at the two of them who were sitting back in the car, smiled and waved, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone anything about the two elder brothers when I go back." Message, thank you two for your care along the way, let’s leave now.”

Standing on the street of an unfamiliar town and watching Juechen go away, after the taxi disappeared from sight, Xu Yunhan took out the mobile phone that was forcibly confiscated and turned off before, and secretly rejoiced that he had not had time to change that kind of smart phone. Talking about the extra charge, the basic model is better. When I turned it on, I found that there were still three batteries. After searching for the signal of the mobile phone, dozens of text messages flashed in immediately. They were all notification text messages from the system for missed calls, including Dai Xiaobei's call and He Yi's.

Xu Yunhan dragged her luggage and sat on the edge of a flower table by the roadside. First, she called He Yi to report her safety and current location. The two begged for mercy. After all, she was a hostage. After all, nothing happened to show that they were not villains. He Yi was silent for a while before agreeing to go back and find the person in charge, and just close the case hastily.

Xu Yunhan repeatedly stated that there is no need to make a special trip to pick her up, and finally the two agreed that Xu Yunhan would take a taxi and go directly back to Kunming to meet He Yi.After hanging up the phone, Xu Yunhan called Dai Xiaobei again. Of course, she was scolded for a long time on the phone and signed a lot of unequal requirements after returning to Beijing. Dai Xiaobei just gave up and let her go.

With the phone in hand, Xu Yunhan dragged his luggage and walked. In Yunfeng County, it can be seen that the economy is very backward. In the county town surrounded by mountains, there is no modern high-rise building with more than six floors, and there are some green tiles. There are not many cars driving on the narrow streets, and there are not even taxis in this city, but the kind of rickshaws, with crisp bells and bells ringing all over the alleys.

The folk customs are rare and simple, perhaps because there are very few foreigners here, the fair-skinned, beautiful and tall Xu Yunhan who is dragging luggage is extremely eye-catching, people who come and go will pretend to look at her casually, but as long as Xu Yunhan glances back , the other party would look away embarrassingly, and some would even blush, which made Xu Yunhan a little strange.

Xu Yunhan walked for a while and came to a food stand. Along the way, the two bought a bunch of biscuits and bread when they passed a small grocery store in order to hurry.

"Boss, what kind of food do you have here?" Xu Yunhan looked at the popularity of this restaurant, and guessed that the taste must be right, so he sat on the small bench in the booth.

The proprietress, who was busy listening to the question in Mandarin, took time to look at Xu Yunhan, and said with a smile, "When it comes to eating, it's too much. The girl is not from our place, hehe, then you have to try it out." While talking about the work in hand without delay, he quickly stir-fried in the pot,
"Bait cubes, bait shreds, rice noodles, rice cakes, rice sausages, steamed noodles, rolled noodles, cold night food, rice jelly noodles, fried grasshoppers, roasted ants..." Xu Yunhan was a little taken aback when the proprietress announced it. , especially the last few dishes, insect dishes.

After finishing the food requested by the guests at the other table, the proprietress who came to other guests to relax at the moment looked at Xu Yunhan, "Hehehe~ The little girl was scared by bugs?! It seems that this is the first time I came here Foreign guests always have such frightened expressions."

"It's true, these bugs are edible?" Xu Yunhan looked at the plates of dried or crisped bugs on the table next to the pot. At this time, they all looked yellow and clear, but it was not pleasant to look at them. It's scary, but what's scary is that Xu Yunhan can't help but think of them crawling all over the ground or flying in the air when they were alive, and their skin can't stop getting numb.

An old man who was eating rice noodles next to him interjected and asked kindly, "Why can't you eat it, little girl, have you heard the 'Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan' summarized by those people now?" Said bluntly,
"Eggs are sold on strings, bamboo hats are taken off as pot lids, three mosquitoes are a dish, trains are not as fast as cars, Dali cakes are called bait, caves can compete with fairyland, four seasons can be worn together, grasshoppers can be served as a side dish Girls are called old ladies, monks can fall in love, old ladies can climb mountains faster than monkeys, new shoes can be mended, torches can be used as hookahs, toes are always outside, dolls are all carried by men, peanuts and broad beans are sold in piles, here There are four bamboo rats in a sack, these are called the 'Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan', and the delicious insects of Yunnan people are among them."

Seeing that Xu Yunhan was confused in some places, the proprietress added, "The so-called "Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan" describe some unique and even strange phenomena or lifestyles produced by the unique geographical location and folk customs of Yunnan. Some phenomena have already They are slowly disappearing, some are still kept, and some terms are exaggerated. However, this item of eating insects is still popular now, girl, would you like to order some dishes?"

A four or five-year-old girl sitting at the same table blinked and looked at Xu Yunhan, "Sister, Chongchong is delicious, and Yuanyuan likes it very much." The girl who spoke Mandarin was not fluent. He nodded, as if he was afraid that she would not believe it.

Xu Yunhan was about to praise her for being cute, but the little girl turned her head and said to a girl in her twenties next to her, "Sister, look at this sister is so timid, even afraid of bugs, Yuanyuan I'm not afraid."

"Yuanyuan, you can't say that about my sister," the woman said, looking at Xu Yunhan with some embarrassment, and apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry, my sister is young and ignorant, don't mind."

The pair of sisters both wore silver crowns, jackets made of linen homespun, pleated skirts with delicate embroidery, several chain silver collars and piece necklaces, silver locks on their chests, and Wearing several pairs of silver bracelets of different styles, typical Miao girl dress.

"It's okay, the little girl is quite cute, and she speaks like a child." Xu Yunhan said with a smile, admiring the exquisite and beautiful clothes of the two sisters.
