Chapter 2337: Left Behind Village
Xu Quanrong helped Zhao Xu and Su Rou prepare a lot of daily necessities.
After saying goodbye to Xu Quanrong and his wife, Zhao Xu drove the car at a fast pace, feeling very comfortable with Su Rou.
Su Rou did not regard this medicine-seeking trip as a chore at all. Instead, she regarded it as a private vacation trip.
She adjusted her seat to a comfortable position and lay back on the passenger seat.
I have to say that Su Rou has a really good figure.
Lying flat on the seat, your body can form a graceful curve.
Zhao Xu glanced at Su Rou and immediately looked away.
He is not a saint, but he cannot be impulsive in front of beautiful women. The only solution is to see her less.
"Zhao Xu, you usually talk a lot, why don't you speak today?" Su Rou turned sideways, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked Zhao Xu.
"I'm concentrating on driving!"
"Why, are you afraid of me?"
"You are a female police officer! Who is not afraid? What if I say something wrong and offend you and you handcuff me?"
"Am I that cruel?"
"Anyway, I think he's very fierce!"
"I hate it! Is that the time to be kind to bad people? Do I have to be kind to bad people?"
Zhao Xu glanced at Su Rou again. This glance didn't matter. He caught a glimpse of the white patch of Su Rou's collar and quickly looked away.
He changed the topic and said: "Officer Su, aren't you afraid of entering Wushan Mountain with me?"
"With you here, what should I be afraid of! Let me tell you, if your kid can't protect me, he will be responsible for dereliction of duty."
"Then don't run around when the time comes!"
"Where can I go in a place with such barren mountains and wild mountains? However, the scenery in the Bawu area is so beautiful!"
"Yes! This may be one of the few protected environments!"
"Where do we enter the mountain from?" Su Rou asked.
“From Bagetu Village!”
Zhao Xu explained: "Witch culture is prevalent in the Bayu area. This is the origin of witch culture. Some major events such as sacrifices and marriages require a witch. I heard that there is a witch here in Bagetu. Let's go visit this person.
.”
"Witch? How do you believe this?" Su Rou frowned lightly.
Zhao Xu smiled and explained: "Some things cannot be explained, so you have to disbelieve them."
"Okay! But you must not reveal my identity to others." Su Rou warned Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu said "Yeah!" and said: "Understood!"
It took more than five hours to drive from the capital city to the "Bagotu" area.
By the time we arrived at "Ba Ge Tu", it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Along the country road, I finally found this place on the map, which couldn't be smaller, the Bagetu Zone.
There are only a few dozen households here, and the houses are scattered in a scattered manner, but the beauty is the elegant environment.
When I got off the car, a breath of fresh air hit my face.
This place is located in a remote place.
Zhao Xu and Su Rou got out of the car and walked towards the village.
I saw many women and children standing at the entrance of the village, as well as some elderly people.
What makes Zhao Xu and Su Rou feel strange is that young people like them are rarely seen.
Seeing an octogenarian old man sitting on the millstone in front of the door with a cane in his hand, Zhao Xu walked towards the old man and asked aloud: "Old man, is there a witch here?"
"What did you say?"
"Is there a witch here?"
"My wife? She died long ago!"
When Su Rou heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed. She pulled Zhao Xu aside and said, "This old man is deaf. It's useless for you to talk to him."
Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "If I keep talking to that old man, I will become mentally ill."
"There is an aunt there, let's go and ask her!"
Su Rou pointed towards a river.
I saw a woman sitting by the creek washing clothes.
Su Rou pulled Zhao Xu and hurriedly walked towards the aunt.
This time, it was Su Rou's turn to ask. She called out to the aunt who was doing the laundry: "Auntie! Auntie!..."
The woman who was washing clothes looked up and saw that Zhao Xu and Su Rou were from outside the city. She asked casually: "Is something wrong?"
"Um, is there a witch here?"
"witch?"
"You guys wait a minute while I finish washing the last piece of clothing."
The woman turned around, faced the clothes on the stone floor, and rubbed them a few times.
Su Rou and Zhao Xu looked at each other, and it seemed that there was a way out this time.
After the woman who was washing the clothes finished washing, she walked up to Zhao Xu and Su Rou with a basin in her hand, looked at them and asked, "What are you looking for a witch for?"
Zhao Xu hurriedly explained: "Oh, that's it! We are going to the mountains to collect herbs. We want the witch to help us with divination."
In the Bawu area.
Wizards are entities that communicate with heaven, earth, and people.
From the earliest times, there were legends about the ten witch gods in the Bawu area.
For example, in ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor was marching and fighting, he had to consult wizards for divination.
The woman said: "We don't have a witch here, but there is one in a cave about five kilometers away from here. The witch has no children and is blind. She has been persecuted and lives in the cave."
"Blind?"
Zhao Xu frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the most respected profession in the past would be in such a decline.
Su Rou asked: "Auntie, what about the men in your village? When we entered the village, why did we see only women, children and the elderly?"
The woman explained: "Most of the young people in our village have gone out to work. That's why you see only the elderly, children and women staying in the village."
Zhao Xu and Su Rou followed the woman back home.
After the woman had dried her clothes, a little boy about ten years old ran out.
He said to the woman: "Mom, I'm hungry!"
"Xiao Xing, wait a minute! There is a brother here. My sister has something to do with grandma."
Su Rou carried biscuits with her, took out a bag of biscuits from her pocket, handed it to the child named "A Xing" and said.
"Axing, sister, there is a bag of biscuits here, you can take it and eat it first!"
The little boy named "A Xing" was very happy and was about to reach out to pick it up.
The woman slapped the child on the arm and scolded Ah Xing: "Xiao Xing, didn't grandma tell you not to take other people's things?"
Su Rou smiled and explained: "Auntie, the child is hungry, just let him eat!"
Seeing that the woman was wary, she comforted her: "You see, we two don't look like bad people! Besides, the packaging bag of this biscuit is intact."
"Eat it!"
Su Rou once again handed the cookie in her hand to Axing.
Axing looked at the woman.
Suddenly, she picked up the biscuit in Su Rou's hand and ran away.
He ran to the door, saluted Su Rou and said, "Thank you!"
The woman looked embarrassed, shook her head helplessly and said, "This child!"
"Children! It is their nature to love to eat and play."
