What's more, he also got a cheap son by a blessing in disguise. Although he didn't have time to speak just now, but judging from his appearance, he knew it was his and Ji Xian's son.

When this matter is completely over, the son will have it, and the daughter-in-law will also have it.

……

Ying Qiao angrily took the cubs back home.

After the cubs washed and returned to the room, he unbuttoned his shirt and went to the collection room.

Geng Chen's joy of waking up only lasted for a moment. After talking with Geng Chen, Ying Qiao became more and more sure that they were definitely planning something.

This feeling of peeking into a corner but not being able to see the whole made him very annoyed, he returned to his original shape, stuck to the pile of gemstones and rolled twice in a vent, taking those fine gemstones as Gengchen, and slapping them with his tail sweep away.

He waited for the depression to vent before he sat up again and took the phone to read the news.

——He sent Jiang Li a message when he was off work, but he didn't receive a reply from Jiang Li until he came back.

The wechat chat record with Jiang Li still stays at the last message he sent, Ying Qiao frowned, thinking that Jiang Li should still be investigating the traces of the ancient Wa people at this time, and making a phone call might distract him, so he went back to Sent a WeChat message: [Call me when you get back to the hotel. ]

***

At the same time, Jiang Li had just arrived at the stockade to be investigated - he and Song Yu, a staff member of the Yun Provincial Branch, were in charge of investigating this stockade.

The stockade is located in Yuemeng Township, which happens to be the settlement of the Wa people. There is a lush rainforest in the mountains behind the stockade, and the holy place for plagiarizing cattle for sacrifice in the stockade is in the forest.There is also a Menglan River in the depths of the forest. After crossing the river and walking for more than a hundred miles, you can reach the China-Myanmar border.

It was evening when Jiang Li and Song Yu arrived at the stockade, and the sunset glow in the sky spread out like a red brocade, dyeing the whole mountain crimson.

The two disguised themselves as donkey friends, asked the villagers for help in the name of staying overnight, and settled down in the village smoothly.

Before they came, they had a division of labor. Song Yu was just a little demon, not strong, but handsome and eloquent. He was in charge of staying in the village to deal with the villagers, and asked if there were any strange things happening in the mountains near the village.In the name of collecting wind, Jiang Li went deep into the mountains, looking for traces of the ancient Wa people.

After the two settled their luggage, they wandered around in the stockade.

This village is located deep in the mountains, and the roads are remote and difficult to walk. Therefore, the economy in the village is not developed. In addition to farming on weekdays, the villagers improve their lives by receiving a small number of adventure travellers.

Therefore, for Jiang Li and Song Yu who are staying overnight, the villagers are very warm and friendly.There was also an elderly man talking to them in a dialect, Jiang Li couldn't understand, but Song Yu could understand a little bit, and replied with a smile: "We are here to travel."

The old man seemed to be a little deaf, and he didn't know if he understood, so he kept smiling and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay."

After saying goodbye to the old man, the two continued to wander around. Song Yu said, "Have all the men in this village gone out to work? I haven't seen many young and middle-aged men, and most of them are old women staying at home."

The eldest sister who just came back from washing in the river happened to hear it, and said, "Men are all going out to work, and they won't be back until tomorrow."

Song Yu suddenly said: "Go out to work?"

He sighed to Jiang Li, "The village is not easy. There is only a narrow path to get in and out, and the water and electricity are not yet connected. No wonder everyone has to go out to work."

In such a remote village with inconvenient transportation, it is difficult to develop tourism.

"There is no electricity in the village, and the villagers probably rested early." Jiang Li glanced at the sky and said, "I'll go outside to the woods first. You should inquire more before the villagers have rested. There is no clue, so I will leave tomorrow morning."

Song Yu obeyed the arrangement: "Okay, then I'll go inquire again. If you find a clue, give me a message so I can notify the bureau."

Jiang Greed responded, then turned and walked out of the village.

This stockade must have been around for some years. The old trees at the entrance of the village are as thick as two people hugging each other. The canopy spread out to cover the sky and block out the sun, and it is connected with the forest not far away.

Jiang Greed took out the map and took a look, and found that the actual terrain was quite different from the map. He was an unprofessional and couldn't see much information, so he could only put away the map and choose a direction at will.

Probably influenced by Bai Ze, he subconsciously chose the north.

The trees in the forest are tall and strong, with vines hanging around their trunks, and thick fallen leaves are piled up on the ground. Year after year, the fallen leaves are piled up on the ground, rotted and melted into the soil, turning into a layer of soft rot , The newly fallen leaves are piled on the surface, and the feet are almost covered when stepped on.

There are also unknown birds and insects singing.

Jiang Greed walked in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow. After evening, the sky changed rapidly, and it didn't take long for it to get dark.Especially in the woods where the dense trees cover the skylight, it looks even more dim and unclear.

After a long and tedious walk, Jiang Li found almost nothing.

He took out his mobile phone to check the time, and found that more than an hour had passed before he knew it, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.He opened WeChat habitually, glanced at Ying Qiao's chat interface, and didn't see any new news, so he curled his lips a little shyly.

Just as he was thinking that Ying Qiao would never send him a message, he realized that the cell phone's signal bar was empty.

"The signal is so bad?" Jiang Li muttered in a low voice, ready to turn back.

After wandering around in the woods for a long time, seeing that it was already dark, but they didn't notice any abnormality, they probably ran for nothing this time.

Jiang Lu put away his phone and turned back along the original road.

The night in the mountains is darker than in the city. After 07:30, it is almost invisible.On the contrary, through the gaps in the leaves above the head, you can vaguely see the stars all over the sky.

Fortunately, Jiang Li's night vision and sense of direction are not bad, and the fallen leaves on the ground still have traces of trampled on, so he didn't bother to go back along the original footprints.

The journey was too boring, and he was afraid that if he was unlucky, he would run into a villager, and it would be difficult to change into his original form. Jiang Li could only walk back on two legs bored, eating gems from the storage ring while walking.

In the woods, except for the sound of insects and birds, the only sound left is his footsteps and the crunch of chewing.

When following the footprints and walking down the next fork in the road, Jiang Greed was chewing on the gemstone and was about to turn right, when out of the corner of his eye he suddenly noticed the footprints of his feet at the fork in the road.

He stepped back and squatted at the intersection to observe carefully. The toes of this mark were facing the forest, and the footprints were newly added—he was sure that there were no such footprints when he passed the fork in front of him.

That was behind him, someone walked past here.

Is it a villager?

But it's getting dark, and people can't see their fingers in the forest. What are the villagers doing in the forest at night?

Jiang Greed frowned, thought for a while, and decided to take a look.

The author has something to say:

#Blame the phone#

Greedy Zai: My boyfriend is away, so I don’t know how to send a message to care.

Longlong: On a business trip, I didn't even reply to the news.

Good night tweet tweet =3=

Chapter 181

Jiang Greed walked deep into the forest along the fork in the road. At first, there were insects and birds singing all around, but gradually, there was only the darkness where you can't see your fingers.

The chirping of insects and birds seemed to have disappeared. He deliberately lightened his footsteps and breathing, and there was only silence in the surroundings.

Instead, there was a faint light at the end of the line of sight.

First a little bit, then a lot of dots, scattered in the forest.After Jiang Greed approached quietly, he realized that these faint lights were torches stuck in the ground.From the entrance, it extends to the depths of the forest,

At the entrance of the forest stood a huge stone tablet with strange characters engraved on it, and beside it was a huge ox skull.

Although Jiang Greed couldn't recognize these words, he guessed from the ox skull next to the stele that this place should be the holy place for sacrifices in the village.

But what are the torches doing at the sacrificial place at this time?

Jiang Greed frowned, unavoidably thinking of the ancient Wa people, but he observed the surroundings carefully, but didn't notice anything unusual.

He could only temporarily suppress his doubts and continue to move forward.

After passing through the small forest at the entrance, we arrived at the sacrificial place.Before entering, Jiang Li could smell a strong stench.This is an indescribable smell, coupled with the indistinct wooden stakes behind the forest and the dark spherical objects on the wooden stakes, it may scare the faint of heart to take a look at it.

Jiang Greed frowned, took a deep breath and walked in.

Without the cover of the woods, the wooden stakes of the sacrificial site were completely presented in front of him. Even though Jiang Li was mentally prepared before entering, he was still stunned and shocked when he saw this scene.

——There are countless high and low wooden stakes scattered in the sacrificial place, and a round head is hung on each wooden stake. These heads are in different states. Some of the skin and flesh have already rotted away, leaving only gray and white bones; some are still sticking together Flesh and flesh, with vines climbing along the stakes and wrapping around the head.

The torches around were flickering and flickering with the wind, shining on the heads of these people, becoming more treacherous and gloomy.

When Jiang Li saw the ox skull next to the stele, he thought it was also a ox skull, but he didn't expect that what was going on in the forest turned out to be a real human head sacrifice.

Just as he was looking around, there was suddenly the cold sound of weapons colliding and the sound of cheering in the distance, followed by the sound of wooden drums. Jiang Li's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly hid in the forest. Hold your breath and stare at the entrance.

In the headhunting ceremony of the ancient Wa people, headhunting is a collective activity.

First, select an auspicious day. On the evening of the auspicious day, all the young and middle-aged people in the village will go out.
