Chapter 25 Strange Customs
The playfulness in his eyes gradually faded, and his sitting posture unconsciously became much more serious, and he spoke in a serious manner.
"I also think your blue hair looks great. You don't need to dye it black. Many girls want to dye their hair like yours, but they have to bleach and fade it, and spend a lot of money to dye it like yours. It's so cool to be able to grow blue hair naturally. Not only is it cool, but it also saves money."
As he spoke, Gu Hansheng smiled to himself.
Shi Yi curled the corners of his lips, slightly raising them.
"Why are you guys here? You're just here to watch the fun and you didn't even call me!"
Mi Chen came down from upstairs in a huff, wearing a light pink nightgown.
As a result, she saw the two of them sitting in the lobby downstairs. She was a little angry and sat down next to Shi Yi, her stomach rumbling from time to time.
"What are they doing?"
Shi Yi told Mi Chen about tomorrow's sacrifice to the gods.
After hearing this, Mi Chen's eyes lit up.
"Sacrificial offerings to the gods? There's usually delicious food at these kinds of events, right?!"
When Shi Yi heard her words, he smiled softly.
Mi Chen is obviously the oldest among them, but he speaks and acts like a child.
Sometimes, Shi Yi really treats Mi Chen like a child.
"Are you hungry?"
When Mi Chen heard Shi Yi's words, he nodded with a very aggrieved look.
"Yeah, I haven't eaten enough today."
The corners of Shi Yi's mouth twitched. She was not full yet. When the people in the restaurant saw that she had eaten 10 kilograms of rice, their pupils trembled and it didn't seem like they were pretending.
Shi Yi smiled lightly and looked at Gu Hansheng on the side, his eyes seemed to be asking questions.
"How about we go out for a late-night snack?"
"OK."
Gu Hansheng readily agreed, and Mi Chen cheered and sat up from the sofa.
"Should we go wake them both up?"
Gu Hansheng shook his head.
"Don't go. Feng Ming takes good care of her health and goes to bed at 10 o'clock every day. If you wake her up now, she will definitely be angry. Tang Yu doesn't eat midnight snacks, so it's useless for us to wake him up."
With that, the three of them walked straight out of the hotel and came to a nearby barbecue stall.
After eating to their heart's content, the three of them went back to sleep obediently.
The next morning, Feng Ming knocked on the doors of several members at 7 o'clock on time.
Shi Yi got up in a daze, washed, put on her clothes, and gathered in Gu Hansheng's room.
I saw that everyone was holding a miniature walkie-talkie and putting it in their ears.
"Shi Yi is here. Bring the intercom with you. If anything happens, we can contact you at any time."
Feng Ming walked up to Shi Yi, helped her tidy up her hair, and stuck the intercom into her ear.
"Everything is ready, we'll set off when you're ready."
“Dongdongdong——”
Xiao Zhou walked in from outside with breakfast for five people.
Seeing that several people were fully armed, I couldn't help but be stunned.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Hansheng looked at Xiao Zhou, took the breakfast from his hand and put it aside.
"We decided to go to the Fossil Village and take a look."
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhou panicked for a moment.
"You're going to Fossil Village? What are you going to do there?"
Xiao Zhou suddenly became a little excited, and Shi Yi was a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Zhou slammed the door and looked at them anxiously.
"You can't go to that village! Do you know why that village doesn't obey any government orders, yet it remains safe and sound, with no one daring to cause trouble?"
"Why?"
Xiao Zhou clapped his hands on the side.
"That's because the people in their village practice witchcraft! Their village is the only place where witchcraft is practiced. Although the mayor has negotiated with them and they have agreed not to use witchcraft to harm others at will, it's still very dangerous to go there and be defenseless!"
Shi Yi and Feng Ming beside him looked at each other and ate their breakfast buns calmly.
"Shi Xiangxiang is from that village. Not only do the people there have a habit of early marriage, they also practice witchcraft. This is really getting more and more interesting."
Gu Hansheng's expression was slightly stern.
"Tell us more about this village."
Although they had done their homework last night, there were still some things that the locals knew better.
Xiao Zhou looked at the indifferent expressions of the few people and couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing what Xiao Zhou said, everyone looked a little stern.
It seems that their investigation scope was correct, and this village does have an unusual story.
In recent years, young girls have been disappearing in this village one after another, but due to ethnic customs, the local authorities are reluctant to intervene in this matter.
In addition, Shi Xiangxiang is from this village, and the people in this village know witchcraft. Combined with this, no one would believe that there was nothing unusual going on.
"The village chief is called Ah Mao. He's the boss of the village, and everyone listens to him. They have a lot of weird customs, like not touching the stones on the wall... If you outsiders don't know the rules, you'll definitely offend them. If they put a curse on you, you won't be able to return to the capital alive!"
As he spoke, Xiao Zhou felt that his words made more and more sense, so he blocked the door and prevented them from going to the Fossil Village.
Several people listened to Xiao Zhou's words and finished their breakfast slowly.
Bring your own things and persuade Xiao Zhou earnestly.
"Uncle Xiao Zhou, don't worry. We're not ordinary people. We're police officers! Besides, we'll be careful and won't offend them."
Xiao Zhou looked at them with some disbelief.
"How can you guarantee that you can get out of that village safely? You are the helpers the mayor and his men have hired from the capital. If you can't return to the capital alive, we will be in trouble!"
Xiao Zhou slapped his thigh, still not giving up the task of persuasion.
"Listen to my advice, that village isn't for just anyone. If they get angry, they won't care about us, not to mention the Jade Emperor!"
Feng Ming spoke softly.
"Uncle Xiao Zhou, don't worry. We understand all the customs of this ethnic minority and won't offend them. We will return safely, so you can rest assured. Besides, we heard that today is a ceremony to worship the gods. I believe many people will follow the ceremony to Panlong Mountain, and no one will notice us."
After several people tried to persuade him, Xiao Zhou finally gave in.
"Okay, you guys have to be careful. If anything goes wrong, call me immediately and I'll get help."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in assurance.
It's some distance to the village.
When Xiao Zhou went to the airport to pick them up, the car that had broken down on the way had been repaired and driven over to them.
Shi Yi and his companions breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had a car this time.
Otherwise, if I ride my bike directly to the Fossil Village, I don’t know when I can get there.
