I'm the only human in the whole community

Xiangxi is nearly [-] kilometers away from Yunnan.

Wu Ling had trekked through mountains and rivers more than a dozen times. The corpse hunters walked at night and accompanied the corpses. Most of the time, they had to avoid densely populated cities, and sometimes they dared not even enter mountain villages easily.

There are countless cottages hidden deep in the mountains of Yunnan. The oldest hidden one doesn't even have water and electricity. He once entered it by mistake.People in that village can only speak Miao language, men, women and children are equipped with silver ornaments, everything in a village, such as blacksmithing, Gu making, hand-painted totems and the hideous Chi You symbol on the grass wall.

He received warm hospitality here, and heard something about Yun Jiang.

People in the village don't call him 'Team Leader Yun Jiang', but 'Gu Nu'.

Wu Ling was sitting by the fire at that time, clutching the glutinous rice cakes in his hands, and blinked in confusion: "Isn't Yun Jiang a man? Why is she called a Gu girl?"

The most respected and long-lived person in the village spoke the obscure Hmong language and replied, "He raises Gu, so he is called Gu Nu."

Most of the Qimen Dunjia and hidden "craftsmen" have complicated rules. The Miao people are proficient in Gu art, but only for women.Most of the women in the Miao nationality raise love Gu, which is just a harmless little fun until now, but Wu Ling sensed something wrong from the intermittent words of the long-lived man.

The people in the village said that Yun Jiang was crazy.

——He raised a batch of 'things' with human and non-human flesh and blood on the Meili Snow Mountain, which stretches for dozens of miles.

It could be a human, or it could be a Gu worm.

In fact, no one knows the exact location of the Gu farm, but a long time ago, a Miao man who strayed in and escaped by chance dictated the scene there.

A sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Tens of thousands of Gu are trapped in it, biting and fighting each other, fighting for the only chance to get out in the most primitive way.And that man stood above the Gu field, his exposed chin and collarbone were like cold stones, with a fragile luster, his long black hair was loose and soft, slanted on his shoulders, with a high and casual expression. Eyes, looking at the ugly Gu under the feet.

"He can hide from you," said the Longevity, "but he cannot escape the eyes of those who are closest to the land."

Countless fires lit up in the dark village, like a huge and boundless mirror, tilting the black sky down, the firewood crackling, Wu Ling felt a chill on the soles of his feet, he asked: "What happened after that?" ?”

The long-lived person said: "He cultivated the five poisons."

This Wu Ling knows.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival in May of the lunar calendar, the five poisons are born among the people, referring to the five poisonous substances of snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, and toads.

Wu Ling didn't ask about what happened afterwards.The long-lived man held a little girl of the Miao nationality in his arms, and the two talked and laughed together in Miao language. The old man rubbed his prickly beard on the girl's delicate face, making the little guy giggle, and the firelight shone on their faces. Above, it was clearly warm and bright, but it seemed dark and unclear, like an ominous omen.

Wu Ling felt a palpitation for no reason.

When he was about to leave, only the long-lived man came to see him off. The old man stood on the hillside and said, "Hurry up, corpse driver, there is going to be chaos here."

He stepped on the ground with both feet, and the black and wet soil came out from between his fingers. He looked down, and suddenly changed into jerky Chinese: "We have no way to leave, we can only pray that the man will never leave." Close to our stockade, if that day really comes, please take our corpses into the mountains to bury... instead of being taken away by him."

Wu Ling nodded solemnly.

However, not long after, the news of Yun Jiang's death came out.
