All borders, southern Xinjiang.

Liu Ling has been walking through the wet and dark dense forest for 13 days. When he looks up, he can see the mountains and rivers, where he can't see the end at a glance

It's full of snakes and insects. It's full of bogs. It's possible to be engulfed by the bogs at any time.

After nearly half a month, Liu Ling's camouflage pants have been covered with mud and water, plus the black brown stains mixed with animal blood.

Fortunately, at noon on this day, we finally saw people.

This is a village with less than 200 people. There are dozens of families close by blood relationship. According to the local people, ghosts are not willing to come to this place

Not to mention women.

So when Liu Ling, who has good temperament, appearance and figure, walks through the muddy village dirt road with a bag on his back, almost all the men stand up from the house and the ridge to see.

This extremely backward village is not even electrified.

In addition, the sky is gloomy and the fog does not disperse at noon, which makes Liu Ling feel nervous for a long time.

It was a strange feeling from the bottom of my heart.

In southern Xinjiang, there are many ancient villages and ethnic groups, which is different from the most peripheral places that have been developed into tourist areas to make a lot of money

The more you go in, the more strange things you encounter.

But no matter how backward and ignorant these villages are, they are all devout to the gods they believe in. For this small village, which may have been self-sufficient for more than a hundred years and has never been a stranger

Liu Ling, a white and beautiful woman from outside, is absolutely enough to attract their attention.

Most of the villagers were single, and Liu Ling didn't even see a few women along the way.

There are even a few children playing in the mud. When they see Liu Ling suddenly breaking into the stockade, they shout and bring a group of people

Tall, but one by one eyes muddy, half a lifetime have not seen a woman what kind of middle-aged bachelors crowded, looking at Liu Ling eyes burning, as if eager to swallow her alive in general.

No appreciation, no possessiveness, just like looking at an animal

All the way into Xinjiang, this village gave her the most uncomfortable feeling.

It's not just because of the lack of women. The people around, their eyes and even their actions, all give Liu Ling a rather strange impression.

Silly, yes, silly!

It seems that the young man in his early twenties is playing in the mud with his bare butt.

This situation is not one or two

Even the only boy who didn't dodge when he saw Liu Ling, after Liu Ling said hello to him in Miao language, he just looked at Liu Lin behind him.

That kind of feeling, like a thorn in the back.

It's so weird!

"Who are you?"

Until Liu Ling felt that everything couldn't go on, and even despair, a woman with dark skin and a little fat figure came out of nowhere

Look at Liu Ling and communicate with her in Miao language.

God, I'll see you.

Walking through the cold mountains for days, and having never eaten anything decent, Liu Ling urgently needs to replenish his energy at the moment.

Even if it's a bonfire, let yourself get warm, take a clean hot bath, and then wash your clothes.

Before all this, it was all wishful thinking.

Fortunately, someone in the stockade can talk to him at last.

……

Similar to most of the stockaded villages in Miao, the wooden structure houses built with local materials are not only durable, but also distinctive.

Most of the wooden houses have two floors. There are nests or troughs under the floor of the first floor to keep livestock.

Most people live on the second floor. One is that the place is too wet to live on the first floor. The other is to defend against snakes, insects, ants and beasts.

According to the outside rumors, there are many poisonous insects in the land of Miao, but in fact they are all false.

Although there are few people in this land who are familiar with the idea of raising poisonous insects, there are not many people who really manage it, and few people who can really play it.

At dinner, the woman who took Liu Ling to settle down with her back in the bamboo basket went to the only granary in the village and brought back the grain.

During the conversation, Liu Ling knew that her name was Li.

When the meal was served and the campfire was sitting, dozens of strange faces with giggles were already lying outside the door.

Since Liu Ling entered the village, these people have been following like maggots of tarsal bones

"Go away!"

Li pours angrily and raises her broom to rush out, which scares the whole group of people away.

"Thank you, Li."

Liu Ling squeezed out a smile. For the name of this word, she was a little stiff

Simple black rice dumpling, wild fern root and various kinds of wild vegetables made of noodle soup paste, but she also eat full, days of fatigue was instantly dispelled.

After a bath, sitting by the campfire, while baking clothes, while talking, Liu Ling and the woman called Li gradually get acquainted.

It turns out that this place is called Shitouzhai.

The god worshipped in the stockade is called the stone God

There used to be a temple in Houshan. During the Spring Festival, the strong laborers in the village would repair the temple and reinforce the statues.

Ten years ago, the village was not like it is now.

But

No one expected that on the thunderstorm night ten years ago, the temple collapsed overnight, and many people were buried in the stones after the landslide.

The statue is broken and the temple is gone.

After that, people in the stockade threatened themselves, saying that they had desecrated the gods and would suffer retribution

Sure enough, after this, people continue to go crazy, just like inexplicably stupid general, such things are more and more.

In the stockade, witches were invited, and even temples were rebuilt, but they still had no effect.

Originally, the stockade was not so dilapidated. Originally, there were many women left in the stockade

Who knows that in recent years, the women in the village suddenly disappeared one after another, and their whereabouts are unknown! In addition, it is said that the stone stronghold has offended the gods and suffered punishment!

This haunted rumor is becoming more and more evil, leading to the surrounding stockade are not willing to marry their daughter.

vicious spiral.
