In the evening, drizzle. 傍晚,微雨。 Here winter does not snow, the cool rainwater, the pouring arrives at the body, pouring to wooden ceiling, even sleek/moist a limestone road, can feel that mounts wet cold. 这里的冬天是不下雪的,只有凉凉的雨水,浇到身上,浇到木楼,甚至润了一层青石路,都能感到那份黏黏的湿冷。 „Drops the drop!” “滴滴！” A broken car(riage) drives from the remote mountain, cautious walking on mountain road of winding. The low-beam lights are starting, shines together the dim ray by the drizzle. 一辆破车从深山中驶来,小心翼翼的走在蜿蜒的山路上。近光灯开着,透过雨雾照射出一道朦胧的光线。 Gu Yu and Xiaozhai spent day in Mt. Huping, has achieved nothing. There spiritual energy is very unstable, some places are 1, some places are 2, but cannot be 3. 顾玙和小斋在壶瓶山花费了一天的时间,一无所获。那里的灵气很不稳定,有些地方是一,有些地方是二,但是没能达到三。 They had not inquired about comprehensively, general searched, believes firmly here inarticulate, then the return trip, walked multi- quite a while, returns to the white azure stronghold. 他们没有全面探寻,大概的搜索了一番,确信此处并无节点,遂返程,又走了多半天,才又回到白青寨。 They planned that seeks lodging for the night in this, has a look at that pitiful miss again. 他们打算在这投宿,再看看那个可怜的姑娘。 „Yeah, her Golden silkworm gu, do you have the means?” Xiaozhai is driving, asked suddenly. “哎,她的金蚕蛊,你有办法么？”小斋开着车,忽问道。 „That is the life gu, I guessed that thing is connected with the life, perhaps cannot wipe out forcefully. Looked specifically again, is not good stays for several days.” “那是本命蛊,我猜测那东西跟性命相连,或许不能强行拔除。具体再看吧,不行就呆几天。” „Un, really pressed her......” “嗯,也真难为她了……” When opening were not many, the vehicle sails to the boundary of white azure stronghold, turns directly the hillside, stopped outside the woods. They found the log cabin, what is strange, the log cabin gate has not locked, inside nobody left. 开了不多时,车子驶进白青寨的地界,直接拐下山坡,停在了树林外面。俩人找到木屋,但奇怪的是,木屋门没锁,里面空无一人。 Then seeks in the forest, does not see, then drove Zhaizili. 接着又在林中寻找,还是不见,便开车到了寨子里。 In the stronghold is also the paint one piece, only several wooden ceilings are turning on a light. A their each family looked at the past, just saw that belly sore young boy to write in the room, then shouted: „Hill!” 寨中也是漆漆一片,只几家木楼亮着灯。他们一家家看过去,刚好见那个肚子疼的小男孩在屋里写字,便喊道:“小山！” On the boys is binding the gauze, some spiritual dispiriteds, run saying: „Did Elder Brother elder sister, how you come back?” 男孩头上裹着纱布,精神有些萎靡,跑出来道:“哥哥姐姐,你们怎么回来了？” „Our matter finished, but also wants to stay for several days in this. Their people?” “我们事情忙完了,还想在这住几天。他们人呢？” „They went to the temple, said that was opens anything to be able.” “他们都去庙里了,说是开什么会。” „Temple?” “庙？” „Plate king temple, in the south side, stepped onto one to arrive. Elder Sister Long Tang also went, but they do not make me go.” “盘王庙啊,就在南边,走上一会就到了。龙棠姐姐也去了,不过他们不让我去。” „Good, we took a look in the past. Yeah, your how?” “那好吧,我们过去瞧瞧。哎,你头怎么了？” „I, I......” “我,我……” The hill is a little obviously afraid, is afraid to say a word: „I did not knock carefully.” 小山明显有点害怕,吞吞吐吐道:“我不小心磕了。” „, We first walked, comes back to ask you to play again.” “哦,那我们先走了,回来再找你玩。” They are slightly strange, boards, drives toward the south side of border. 俩人略微奇怪,重新上车,往寨子的南边驶去。 ...... …… Plate king temple. 盘王庙。 Here is brilliantly illuminated, in the square before temple stood the person, has the old person, has young, does not have the child, the surrounding one is igniting, is buckling with the rainproof cover. 此处灯火通明,庙前的广场上站满了人,有老人,有青壮,就是没有孩童,外围一圈则点着火把,用防雨的罩子扣着。 Six people poke on the scene, is headed by the uncle, the leaders in other nearby borders. The Long Tang status was high, mixed the front position, was only the complexion is somewhat elegant. 六个人戳在场中,以阿伯为首,余下正是附近寨子的首领。龙棠身份较高,混了个前排位置,只是脸色有些郁郁。 In her front 20 meters places, is the vermilion temple gate, the front door tightens, inside is pitch-dark, transmits painful yelling. 就在她前方二十米处,便是朱红色的庙门,大门紧锁,里面黑洞洞的,传来一声声痛苦的喊叫。 „............” “啊……啊……” The people are hearing this sound, the back sends coolly. 众人听着这声音,都不禁后背发凉。 The uncle was actually calm, took a fast look around, nods to five people, then said loudly: „ Descendants of Miao people! Today we before the plate king, convene about the funds congress, not for other, for Long Qiu. 阿伯倒是镇定,扫视了一圈,冲五人点点头,便大声道:“苗民的子孙们！今天我们在盘王面前,召开合款大会,不为别的,就是为了龙秋。 Believes that you know, Long Qiu is the grass ghost woman in Zhaizili, receives the Golden silkworm gu that could not control...... she nearly to kill people the year before last, last year was, this year or, yesterday, she almost killed the hill of A Xiang family/home! 相信你们都知道,龙秋是寨子里的草鬼婆,收了控制不了的金蚕蛊……她前年险些杀人,去年又是,今年还是,就在昨天,她差点害死了阿香家的小山！ As the head, I must explain to everyone! Discussed with five leaders after me, now announces to handling of Long Qiu...... ” 身为款头,我必须给大家一个交待！经过我跟五位首领商议,现在宣布对龙秋的处置……” Abberton, continued saying: „According to the clan regulations, gives the Long Qiu whip 20, and expels hundred li (0.5 km) Miao village, cannot be life-long to step into! Can everyone has the objection?” 阿伯顿了顿,继续道:“按照族规,予龙秋鞭二十,并逐出百里苗寨,终生不得踏入！大家可有异议？” Voice side drop, is under a field with deep veneration the instantaneous ebullition: 话音方落,本是一片肃然的场下瞬间沸腾: „Can a little miss bear 20 whips? How by going out she also to live, won't die outside?” “一个小姑娘受得了二十鞭么？逐出去她还怎么活,不会死在外面吧？” „Little miss? Have you seen the little miss of murder? That is the grass ghost woman!” “小姑娘？你见过杀人的小姑娘么？那就是个草鬼婆！” „Yes, has calculated the justice and humanity. She does not walk, dying is we!” “就是,款头已经算仁义了。她不走,死的就是我们！” The people discuss spiritedly, a few responds with the sympathy, many actually dislike the punishment is too light. 众人议论纷纷,少数报以同情,多数却嫌处罚太轻。 Long Tang is pursing the lips, wants to urge the uncle, but also knows, share that this situation have not opened the mouth. She the sentiment to elder sister is very complex, not only fear dislike, and is reading sisters' sentiment, for a while quite not handles. 龙棠抿着嘴,非常想劝劝阿伯,但也知道,这种场合没有自己开口的份。她对阿姐的感情很复杂,既害怕厌恶,又念着姊妹的情,一时颇为无措。 We said that although is the modern society, but the patriarchal clan concepts of many place are deep-rooted. If there is conflict, the deterrent force of head of the clan clan regulations must be far higher than the law. 咱们说,虽然是现代社会,但很多地方的宗族观念根深蒂固。若发生争端,族长族规的威慑力要远高于法律。 Quarrelled mixed half sound, the uncle hinted peacefully, said: „Ok, since agreed, we sentence immediately.” 吵杂了半响,阿伯示意安静,道:“好了,既然多数同意,那我们立刻处刑。” He waves, several young take a step to go forward, must open the door the temple. When is unlocking, listens to suddenly „rumbling” automobile sound, but also is less to respond, sees a broken car(riage) straight flushed. 他一挥手,几个青壮迈步上前,就要开门进庙。正开锁时,忽听“轰轰”的汽车声响,还不及反应,就见一辆破车直直的冲了进来。 The people frighten hastily move aside, make a space. But that broken car(riage) stop, getting down a man and a woman, is Gu Yu and Xiaozhai. 众人吓得连忙躲闪,让出一块空间。而那破车停稳,下来一男一女,正是顾玙和小斋。 Long Tang first runs over, said: „Was yu Elder Brother, you busy at finishing up?” 龙棠最先跑了过来,道:“玙哥哥,你们忙完事了？” „Un, just finished. This what situation?” He asked. “嗯,刚忙完。这什么情况？”他问。 „We, we are handling Long Qiu.” She is in front of entire clan, does not dare to call the elder sister. “我们,我们在处置龙秋。”她当着全族的面,也不敢叫阿姐。 „Handling?” “处置？” As soon as they listen, knits the brows slightly, Xiaozhai said: „I can listen, is how the handling law?” 俩人一听,就微微皱眉,小斋道:“我能听听,是怎么个处置法么？” „Who you are, no matter here your matter!” “你是谁啊,这里不管你的事！” „Yes, do two bystanders do in this? The head, has not caught up with them to go out!” “就是,两个外人在这干什么？款头,还不赶他们出去！” „Thump thump!” “咚咚！” The uncle is leaning on the cane, knocked the ground, the sinking sound said: „Everyone said right, this is the business in our clan, please leave.” 阿伯拄着手杖,敲了敲地面,沉声道:“大家说的没错,这是我们族里的事务,请你们离开。” „, Do not catch up with great difficulty, we also join in the fun, listens to your patriarchal clan customs while convenient, is fair? Is reasonable?” Xiaozhai said with a smile. “别介啊,好容易赶上了,我们也凑凑热闹,顺便听听你们这宗族规矩,公不公平？合不合理？”小斋笑道。 „Bold!” “大胆！” „Where this is, not being able to allow you to be dissolute!” “这是什么地方,容不得你放肆！” Such remarks, the public sentiment is roused to action, the chaotic start reproved. Long Tang was anxious, for fear that both sides conflict, low base and low: „They must pull out the elder sister whip, but must expel the mountain her...... this is not you can manage, asked you, was quick!” 此言一出,群情激奋,乱糟糟的开始训斥。龙棠急了,生怕双方冲突,低低道:“他们要抽阿姐鞭子,还要把她赶出大山……这不是你们能管的,求求你们,还是快走吧！” „......” “……” Silent, ice-cold silence. 沉默,冰冷的沉默。 Since they have known, Gu Yu has not seen the Xiaozhai vitality/angry, Xiaozhai has not seen the Gu Yu vitality/angry. But at this moment, their looks from the astonishment to the absurdness, from the absurdness to angry, belong to the endless paint to be dark finally. 俩人认识以来,顾玙从没见过小斋生气,小斋也从没见过顾玙生气。但这一刻,他们的眼神从惊愕到荒谬,从荒谬到愤怒,最后归于无尽漆暗。 „Your several, drum out them! The flatter barbarian, opens the door!” “你们几个,把他们轰走！阿蛮,开门！” The uncle sees them to be motionless, impatient shouting. Immediately, then 78 guys leap, being ready to fight must begin. 阿伯见他们不动,不耐烦的喝道。当即,便有七八个大汉跃出,摩拳擦掌的就要动手。 „Uncle, does not want......” “阿伯,不要……” Long Tang frightened the face to be white, people some were terrified, some were excited, is accompanying the intermittent pitiful yell in temple, straight such as a description fine terrified world. 龙棠吓得脸都白了,众人有的惶恐,有的兴奋,伴着庙里的阵阵惨叫,直如一幅描摹精致的悚然人间。 „Boy, you wants to walk now without enough time......” “小子,你现在想走都来不及了……” Nearby a guy gathers, is staring at thin and tall Gu Yu, oneself that sturdy arm flings, it is estimated that can throw him. 一个大汉凑到跟前,盯着高高瘦瘦的顾玙,自己那粗壮的胳膊一甩,估计就能把他扔出去。 „Whiz!” “嗖！” But the next second, the guy thinks that an eye flower, phantom has flown from the side together, such as the light breeze has drilled the crowd, before arriving at the temple gate, directly. 而下一秒,大汉就觉眼睛一花,一道虚影从身边飞过,如轻风般钻过人群,直接来到庙门前。 That shadow flashes, two people who prepare to open the door randomly calls, then plop plop, is falling nearby the uncle. 那影子又是一闪,准备开门的两个人哇哇乱叫,然后扑通扑通,正摔在了阿伯跟前。 „Bang!” “砰！” Gu Yu tramples the wooden door, jumped to clash. 顾玙踹开木门,纵身就冲了进去。 Inside ray is extremely dark, the plate king on, ignores all living things ; Long Qiu in place, tumbling wail. She thinks that some people come, but also muttered is talking over: „Don't close to me, don't close to me......” 里面光线极暗,盘王在上,漠视众生;龙秋在地,翻滚哭嚎。恍惚间,她觉有人进来,还喃喃念叨着:“别靠近我,别靠近我……” Voice side drop, Gu Yu footsteps slightly, puts out a hand empty to grasp, like that late, an invisible thing hits the palm. 话音方落,顾玙脚步微顿,伸手虚抓,如同那晚一样,一个无形的东西撞进手掌。 „Scoffs!” “嗤！” Golden silkworm has mystical powers, remembers that this person is not affable, cannot hit, immediately returns. 金蚕有灵,记得此人不好惹,一击不中,立即退回。 His then squatting lower part of the body, absolutely does not have the clue, can only input together the spiritual energy slowly, following the skin of that bulge, is driving away Golden silkworm. 他这才蹲下身,完全没有头绪,只能缓缓输入一道灵气,顺着那凸起的皮肤,驱赶着金蚕。 „Wú......” “唔……” Long Qiu hurts lives to might as well die, thinks suddenly a heat flow gushes out within the body, slowly is moistening the flesh meridians, immediately was comfortable. 龙秋疼得生不如死,忽觉一股热流涌出体内,慢慢滋润着血肉经络,顿时舒服了许多。 Meanwhile, outside has messed up. 与此同时,外面已经乱了套。 The uncle air/Qi knocks the cane, shouted: „Lawless! Lawless! The bystanders dare to excel at rushing to the temple!” 阿伯气的直敲手杖,喝道:“无法无天！无法无天！外人竟敢擅闯神庙！” „Also is gawking doing? Clutches to me!” A leader shouts. “还愣着干什么？给我揪出来！”一首领喊道。 „Gives on me!” Another leader meets to say. “都给我上！”另一首领接道。 Brushes! 刷刷！ Ten several people jumped, the preparation goes to seize the thief. At this time, sees the person's shadow to delimit, the straight stamp before the gate, a person of body horizontal blade immediately, the imposing manner is extremely heavy. 十数人都跳了出来,准备进去捉贼。正此时,又见人影划过,直挺挺的戳在门前,一人之身却横刀立马,气势万钧。 „Hehe......” “呵呵……” Xiaozhai does not know that is smiles is the anger, the expression is strange: „Good head! Has the skill to bully the miss, without the skill treats and cures the clan people. Compels others to study the gu, completes uses, to use up throws, is this your patriarchal clan etiquette?” 小斋不知是笑是怒,表情古怪:“好一个款头！有本事欺负姑娘,没本事救治族民。逼着人家学蛊,学完就用,用完就扔,这就是你们的宗族礼法？” „Our their things, having no need for you teaching.” Uncle cold say/way. “我们自家的事情,用不着你来教。”阿伯冷然道。 „Oneself? I looked that was your nest was long in the mountain, did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.” “自家？我看是你们窝在山里久了,不知天高地厚。” „Dissolute! We are Queen Pan, was blessed by the plate king, was blessed by the spirit of mountain, was blessed by the snake god gu god, but generations of do not extinguish!” “放肆！我们乃盘王后裔,受盘王保佑,受大山之灵保佑,受蛇神蛊神保佑,可生生代代不灭！” „Blesses? Good......” “保佑？好……” Xiaozhai being disinclined rubbish, the finger selects, the bone flute of waist grasped in the palm. She bone flute one horizontal, „......” 小斋懒得废话,手指一挑,腰间的骨笛就握在了掌中。她将骨笛一横,“咻……” Incisive short, conceals the unusual temperament the whistle sound to resound, instantaneous sufficient in big square. 一阵尖锐短促,又隐含奇特音律的笛声响起,瞬间充荡在偌大的广场中。 „Is she doing?” “她在干什么？” „She, gives on me leave alone!” “别管她,给我上！” Several people look at each other one , to continue to go forward. The uncle is staring at Xiaozhai, only feels the great shame, when had the temple of Miao people gone into by the bystander? When had been spoiled about the funds congress? 十几个人对视一眼,继续上前。阿伯盯着小斋,只感奇耻大辱,苗民的神庙何时被外人闯入过？合款大会又何时被糟蹋过？ „That woman, that male,......” “把那个女人,还有那个男的,还有……” He shouts to shout, was saying to be saying suddenly. Because of his clear hearing, in oneself behind, the thick patch of grass swings falls, rustle the chaotic sound, is pasting the land for building to skid like anything. 他扯着嗓子嘶吼,说着说着忽然一顿。因为他清晰的听到,就在自己身后,草丛摇坠,沙沙乱响,就像什么东西在贴着地皮滑动。 He turns head fiercely, the old look the circle opens the eyes immediately, startled called out: „Has the snake!” 他猛地回头,苍老的眼神立时圆睁,惊叫道:“有蛇！” „Snake, many snakes!” “蛇,好多蛇！” „!” “啊！” „!” “啊！” In a twinkling, pitiful yell in field continuously. The people soul flying guts crack, sees only wild snakes to wake up from the mountain, from thick patch of grass, from tunnel, even walks randomly from head tree top, falls. 霎时间,场中的惨叫此起彼伏。众人魂飞胆裂,只见一条条的野蛇从山中醒来,从草丛,从地洞,甚至从头上的枝梢游走,掉落。 Every large or small, uneven, has azure, has red, has the yellow, has flower, is spitting the wick...... in this square, immediately became ten thousand Shekeng. 大大小小,长长短短,有青,有红,有黄,有花,咝咝吐着信子……这广场之中,顿时成了万蛇坑。 „You, you......” “你,你……” The uncle fears and is startled, the sound distorts: „You are also the grass ghost woman!” 阿伯又惧又惊,声音都变了形:“你也是草鬼婆！” „Has a look at your snake gods to bless......” “看看你们的蛇神保佑……” Xiaozhai puts down the bone flute, she really gets angry today, the second the big move, ten thousand Shelai the towards, let off Long Tang one only. But Long Tang had stayed, two stare blankly, is this true yu Elder Brother and Elder Sister Xiaozhai? 小斋放下骨笛,她今天真的是怒了,秒出大招,万蛇来朝,唯独放过了龙棠一家。而龙棠已经呆了,两眼发怔,这才是真正的玙哥哥和小斋姐姐么？ Has not known how long, Gu Yu held stupor Long Qiu to have the temple. He swept one, only said: „Temporarily all right, but finds a place to process as soon as possible.” 不知过了多久,顾玙抱着昏迷的龙秋出了神庙。他扫了一眼,只道:“暂时没事,不过尽快找个地方处理。” „Good!” “好！” They pay no attention to these to wail everywhere, boards directly. Xiaozhai blows, the numerous snakes stop the movement in abundance, shakes the head, bewildered swimming. 俩人不理那些满地哀嚎,径直上车。小斋又是一吹,众蛇纷纷停下动作,晃晃脑袋,莫名其妙的游了回去。 „Bang!” “轰！” That broken car(riage) starts, light according to boundless rainy night, increasingly estranged. 那破车启动,灯光照着茫茫雨夜,渐行渐远。 Long Tang cannot bear again, suddenly pursued two steps, shouts: „Elder sister, you must well!” 龙棠再也忍不住,突然追了两步,喊道:“阿姐,你要好好的啊！”
