As the car started to move.
The little girl fell asleep in Ye Chen's embrace after playing games for a while. It was a little boring in the car at that moment.
Just when Ye Chen was going to close his eyes to rest, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Guys, let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Qing. Are you guys going to see the grassland?"
A rather handsome young man sitting in front of him was the first to ask.
Although he said that, he had his eyes on Xiao Ya who was next to Ye Chen.
"Isn't your question obvious? If we're not here to see the grassland, why would we come to this godforsaken place? "
A lady with heavy makeup and a mole on her chin said angrily. She then added, "Oh yeah, my name is Wu Yan. A jerk just cheated on me, so I thought I'd come out for a walk."
"I-I'm Zhang Daniu. I'm here to fulfill my sister's dream." The honest young man with a crew cut next to Ye Chen smiled cautiously.
As he spoke, he held the white urn in his embrace and shook it at the people with a red cloth.
"This is an urn? Are you crazy? Why do you bring an urn with you? Don't you think it's bad luck? "Wu Yan was shocked and she cursed immediately.
Besides Wu Yan, even Luo Qing was scared to death. Ye Chen could not help but glance at Zhang Daniu without saying anything.
Zhang Daniu scratched his head and smiled apologetically. "Don't be scared, guys. My sister is a good person. Even if she's dead, she'll be a good ghost. She won't harm anyone.
My sister worked in a textile factory. She was burned to death in the factory. Her dream since she was young was to see the Wumeng grassland. However, my family is poor, so I can't afford to buy a ticket to Inner Mongolia. I can only bring my sister to see the Wumeng grassland. "
"So, you're quite close to your sister," Luo Qing took over the conversation, but there was a faint hint of disdain in his eyes.
Zhang Daniu could not stop nodding. "Of course. My family is poor, and my father died when I was young. My sister went out to work when I was 15 to pay for my education. However, I'm a disappointment. I dropped out after high school."
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, as if he was remembering something sad.
"Alright, don't cry. It's bad enough that I'm hugging an urn, but you're still crying like a funeral. I don't even have the mood to travel anymore." Wu Yan hurriedly waved her hand to stop her.
Zhang Da Niu wiped his tears with his sleeves. He really didn't dare to cry, but his eyes were red.
Ye Chen glanced at Wu Yan and secretly shook his head. This person had a pointy mouth and thin lips. She looked mean, so she deserved to be cheated on.
"Brother, why don't you introduce yourself?" Luo Qing shifted the topic to Ye Chen and his daughter. He even glanced at Xiao Ya next to him secretly.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Do we know each other?"
"You …" Luo Qing didn't expect Zhang Xuan to say such a thing, and he almost died from anger.
Wu Yan chuckled. "Why are you like this? It's precisely because I don't know you that I have to introduce myself. "
"Then I'm sorry, I don't want to know you at all, so there's no need to introduce myself!"
Ye Chen shook his head.
'This person is just too arrogant!'
Luo Qing and Wu Yan looked at each other. The duo who did not know each other before now stood on the same side by instinct.
"I wonder what's this beautiful lady's name? I wonder if I have the chance to get to know her? "Luo Qing smiled warmly and looked at Xiao Ya in an elegant manner.
To him, with his looks and elegance, he would definitely be able to hit on her.
However, Xiao Ya merely glanced at him coldly. "May I ask how do you know that I'm beautiful when I'm wearing a mask and sunglasses?"
"Uh …" Luo Qing was completely speechless.
Could he say that Xiao Ya was clearly a beautiful lady based on his experience of dating more than ten women?
Seeing that he could not answer, Xiao Ya said in a neutral tone, "Look, you can't even answer that. That's enough to prove that you're not honest."
Luo Qing was pissed.
"Brother, I think this lady is right."
The honest Zhang Da Niu scratched his head and said to Luo Qing in all seriousness, "This lady is wearing a mask and sunglasses. How do you know that she's beautiful?"
"Shut up!"
Luo Qing glared at him coldly and secretly cursed him for being a country bumpkin. 'What do you know?'
Zhang Da Niu shut his mouth immediately after being yelled at. He dared not say another word, but he was still thinking about the question earlier.
At that moment, the little girl who was sound asleep in Ye Chen's embrace kicked Zhang Da Niu by accident. Ye Chen turned his head and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry."
"Brother, it's alright. Your daughter is so cute." Zhang Da Niu stretched his arm and patted the dirt on his thigh. He did not care at all.
Ye Chen said while smiling, "Let's get to know each other. Ye Chen, this is my daughter. You can just call her Mengmeng."
Among the few of them on the bus, he admired Zhang Da Niu more. He was innocent but a little too honest.
"Hi, Brother Chen. My name is Zhang Da Niu."
Zhang Da Niu grinned.
It became boring in the bus again.
The bus drove on the rugged mountain road for a full three hours before coming to a stop.
Huang Lin could not stop shouting through the loudspeaker, "Everyone, we've arrived. We've arrived at Sige Village. Don't push. Get off the bus in an orderly manner. Let the elderly and women get off first.
Don't wander around. We're over ten kilometers away from the Wumeng Grassland. Let's visit the local Buddhist temple first! "
Ye Chen did not move. He only glanced at Xiao Ya next to him after everyone got off the bus. "You go first."
"Thank you!"
Xiao Ya thanked him and led the way. Meanwhile, her bodyguard glanced at Ye Chen expressionlessly and followed her.
When Ye Chen woke the little girl up and carried her off the bus, he realized that there was a place that looked like a huge square before him. There were stone steps that led from low to high at the end of the square.
There was a temple at the end of the stone steps. Many tourists were walking to the temple together.
Huang Lin pointed at the temple behind the stone steps and introduced with all his might, "Everyone, we need to refill the water tank on the bus. It'll take some time.
It's rare that you're here, so you can join the Guanghong Temple. It's very effective locally, especially when it comes to marriage and praying for children. There's no entrance fee, and you can pay for the incense. "
The people grumbled a little, but they cheered up and followed the crowd after hearing that there was no entrance fee.
"Brother, are you going?"
Zhang Daniu walked over while carrying the urn. He said, rather tempted, "I'd like to ask for a divination stick for my sister. Let's see if we can meet again in our next life."
"I don't worship Buddha. I don't worship God."
Ye Chen was going to reject him while smiling, but the little girl in his embrace said first, "Daddy, I want to see it. I've never seen Buddha before."
Ye Chen could only agree to it.
At that moment, Xiao Ya walked over and said while smiling, "Ye Chen, go with this little brother. I have something to do. I'll meet you when we leave. I'm sorry."
She led the bodyguard to the other side of the square after saying that.
"Brother, let's go too."
Ye Chen took a good look at the bodyguard and followed Zhang Daniu up the stairs.
…
In a farmhouse, the door was shut as soon as Xiao Ya and the bodyguard walked in.
The bodyguard slapped her face and said with a scoff, "How dare you disobey me?"
Xiao Ya retreated a few steps back and cried while covering her face, "Uncle Li, I'm begging you. Don't do anything to Ye Chen and his daughter, alright? I'll go back to the Hmong Village with you as long as you don't do anything to them."
"Don't forget who you are. Your responsibility is to serve every generation of the Black Miao Tribe's high priest, including your soul and body!"
Uncle Li said with a grim expression, "Moreover, the high priest planted gu in your body. If you dare to disobey him, the high priest has 100 ways to make you wish you were dead!"
"But Ye Chen and his daughter are innocent. Uncle Li, can you let them go?" Xiao Ya knelt hard onto the ground and hugged Uncle Li's leg tightly.
"What do you know?"
Uncle Li kicked her away. "I noticed that Ye's daughter's flesh is much purer than ordinary people's along the way. She's perfect to be a gu urn. By then, our Black Miao Tribe will definitely have another gu king!"
Xiao Ya's pretty face turned pale and fear filled her face.
The so-called gu urn was a human-shaped container. A person's limbs would be tied up and a hole would be made in the person's head. The gu seeds would then be poured into the person.
The gu seeds were poisonous toads, spiders, and venomous snakes. As soon as they entered the person's body, they would devour all of the person's blood essence. The person would be in utter misery.
"Go."
