The driver took us to the top of the mountain, but Yumi couldn't stand anymore.

The place we were going to was on the other side of the mountain, where there was a village, which was said to be the place where the member of the Ninth Bureau sent back the signal for the last time.

The taxi could only take us to the top of the mountain, so we had to walk a section of the mountain road to reach our destination.

"Yumi, can you still hold on? Otherwise, let's sit down and rest for a while?"

Yumi nodded and found a curb to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, a young man in simple clothes with a square bamboo basket on his side came up.

"Brother, your girlfriend has altitude sickness." He casually took out a hydraulic tank from a bamboo basket. "Altitude sickness will punish everyone who is stubborn, but don't worry, just breathe some oxygen. Do you want a tank?"

After he reminded me, I realized that there were vendors carrying bamboo baskets and selling oxygen tanks everywhere on the top of the mountain. This is also one of the characteristic industries of Daliang Mountain.

"Give me a tank." I took out a hundred-yuan bill and gave it to him.

"Hey customer, we are all paying with mobile phones now. I really don't have change for you."

"Then give me two tanks, and the extra money will be a tip."

"Oh, thank you so much." The vendor accepted the hundred-yuan bill ecstatically.

"I have something to ask you."

After taking my money, you have to answer my questions properly.

As expected, the vendor replied happily: "Please ask if you have any questions."

I pointed to a hidden exit on the back of the mountain and asked: "Where does that path lead to?"

After hearing my question, the vendor's face suddenly changed.

He asked me with a very alert expression: "Why are you asking this?"

Seeing that he was so nervous, there must be something wrong with that road.

I made up a reason casually: "My girlfriend has always wanted to experience the customs and culture of the ethnic minorities in Daliang Mountain, so she wants to find a simple village to visit."

"Is that so." The vendor's expression returned to normal, "There is indeed a village behind that road, called Bijia Village. But I personally don't recommend you to go. There are some strange rules in these villages in the mountains. If you violate them, it will not be so easy to walk. Recently, I have seen many tourists from other places who have disappeared strangely for this reason!"

"Oh? Then do you know why they disappeared?" Finally came to the question that interested me.

"What other reasons could there be? You violated the rules of Bijia Village and were enforced by the village rules."

"How are they enforced?"

"For example, they will lock you up in the village for life and not let you go out. Or... they will secretly assassinate you!"

I felt that the vendor was instilling in me a thought, intentionally or unintentionally, that the members of the Ninth Bureau we were looking for disappeared for this reason.

As for the truth, we will have to wait until we enter the village to find out.

After breathing oxygen for a while, Yumi's condition obviously improved, and she seemed to be resurrected.

We followed the direction we had just inquired and went down the mountain road. The more we walked, the more we felt isolated from the world.

The road was very steep and the soil was not very solid. We had to carefully test each step several times before we dared to move forward.

There were many branches and leaves of tall trees above our heads, which could block most of the sunlight.

The further we walked, the more serious the situation would be, and in the end it would be like dark.

"This place is as hidden as a paradise." Even I couldn't help but sigh.

The good news is that this situation did not last long.

It was like two worlds were stitched together. The trees above our heads suddenly disappeared at a certain moment, and the bright sunlight shone on the two of us again.

Only then did we realize that there were a few children in strange costumes playing with stones on the roadside not far ahead.

"Little brother, is this Bijia Village?" Yumi walked up and greeted the children.

The little brother looked Yumi up and down and ran back to the village quickly.

He shouted while running: "A woman is coming, a woman is coming!"

"What's going on? The children here are so rude." Yumi put her hands on her waist angrily.

After a while, two bald men came to the entrance of the village.

Like the little brother, they looked Yumi up and down and ignored me the whole time.

Compared with the children, the two bald men's eyes stayed on Yumi's snow-white thighs for a longer time.

This also caused Yumi's

Uncomfortable.

"Have you seen enough?"

"Sorry, sorry." The two men retracted their gazes and restored their friendly expressions. "It's been a long time since we had outsiders come to Bijia Village, so we were a little distracted. Are you two here for tourism?"

It's been a long time since outsiders came? This is different from what the vendors on the mountain said.

It seems that this village is not as simple as we thought, and we must be more careful.

"Yes, we are here to experience the customs and customs of ethnic minorities." I blocked Yumi and the bald man, especially Yumi's legs.

"I see, then you two follow me, there are special accommodations for tourists in our village."

The two led us into the village and introduced the situation in the village to us.

"All the people in our village are from the Bi tribe, which is a very rare ethnic minority in Daxia. Because of this, our village also has many rules passed down from the older generation. I hope you can abide by these rules during your visit, otherwise it will be difficult for us to deal with it if something goes wrong."

This is consistent with what the vendor said.

At a crossroads, two bald men forcibly separated Yumei and me, one took us to the east and the other to the west.

"Wait, what does this mean?" I broke free from the bald man and hurried to Yumei.

The bald man looked at the two of us with a difficult expression.

"This is the custom in our village. Men and women must live separately."

What kind of bullshit rule is this.

"Even if you are married, it's not allowed?" I asked.

"No."

"What about sleeping together?"

After I asked, Yumei lowered her head shyly.

"If you want to have sex, women need to go to the men's room after dark. After finishing, go back to your own room immediately and don't stay overnight."

What kind of old customs are these? It's hard to imagine that they have lived under such rules for so long.

I'm just curious about one question. What if a girl walks into the wrong room in the dark? What should she do next?

In order to continue the mission, we had to obey the rules of the village. I went to the room on the east side and Yumi went to the room on the west side.

As soon as I entered the room, there was a pungent musty smell. How long has it been since anyone lived in this house?

The bald man didn't leave immediately, and continued to tell me some common taboos in the village.
