Time flew by during the chat. After getting to know Su Yu better, Liu Xiaoyuan discovered that although Su Yu appeared to be a very open-minded girl, she was actually quite conservative at heart.
In addition, Su Yu is exceptionally eloquent and talkative, qualities that Su Xue cannot match.
Around 5 p.m., the car finally entered the mountain road. Because the mountain road was uneven with potholes and rocks, the speed slowed down and the comfort was completely gone.
No matter how good your car is, if you encounter a road like this, be prepared to enjoy the thrill of the bumpy ride.
Liu Xiaoyuan actually quite enjoys the thrill of this bumpy ride, finding it very comfortable. When he was a child, Liu Xiaoyuan liked to sit in the back of a car, finding the bumpy ride very comfortable.
After a bumpy ride, the car stopped at the entrance of a village at eight o'clock in the evening. Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "Why are you stopping?"
Su Yu said, "The village ahead is the Miao village. Most of the villagers here live like ordinary people, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. However, some of them know witchcraft and sorcery, which is hard to guard against. You have to be careful."
What?! Sorcery? This legendary thing really exists?
Legend has it that this witchcraft is impossible to guard against, and those who are poisoned often do not even know that they have been poisoned until the poison takes effect.
In addition, legend has it that girls in the Miao region can cast a kind of Gu poison called ****. This Gu poison will lie dormant in a man's body. As long as the man remains faithful to the woman and treats her well for the rest of his life, the Gu poison will not take effect until the man dies.
However, if this man betrays the woman, the poison will immediately take effect, making life worse than death.
Liu Xiaoyuan had seen these rumors about Gu poison online, and he used to just read them as stories and didn't take them seriously.
Now, Su Yu said that some of the villagers here actually know witchcraft, which makes Liu Xiaoyuan feel a little uneasy.
If you go in and accidentally get poisoned, who will cure you? I've heard that those who use poison are all eccentric people who will use it on you at the slightest provocation. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Seeing the worried look on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. People who use Gu poison won't use it randomly. The Gu worms are all raised by them. As the saying goes, 'To kill three thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own.' If you don't provoke them, they won't use Gu poison on you for no reason."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Liu Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. At worst, he could just be a civilized and good citizen.
"However, you can't let your guard down. Some eccentric people will use witchcraft on you even if you don't provoke them, as long as they don't like you. So, we have to be very careful when we go in," Su Yu reminded her.
Liu Xiaoyuan touched his face and said, "Someone as handsome as me should be pleasing to the eye regardless of gender or age."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "What if the person who cast the curse is an extremely ugly man who is extremely jealous of your handsome face? Also, what if a Miao girl falls in love with you, her handsome brother?"
"Damn! It really is true." After Su Yu said that, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately felt uneasy.
"Why don't we head back home?" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
He knew absolutely nothing about witchcraft, and people have an extraordinary fear of the unknown. Although Liu Xiaoyuan possessed a god-level invincible system, the thought of the terrifying nature of those poisons made him decide it was best not to provoke them.
"How can a grown man like you be so timid?" Su Yu said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Who said I was worried? I'm just being a wise person who avoids dangerous situations, don't you understand?" Liu Xiaoyuan said, looking at Su Yu.
Su Yu chuckled and said, "A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. If you're afraid, just say you're afraid. Don't make up these excuses."
"Who says I'm scared? I'll go in then, who's afraid of who!" Liu Xiaoyuan shouted, trying to bolster his courage. But as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan regretted it. Damn it, he had fallen for Su Yu's provocation.
But a man's word is his bond, what's there to be afraid of!
So, Su Yu drove into the village and stopped in a large playground.
"Alright, let's get out of the car. From now on, we'll have to rely on our own two legs." Su Yu said, and got out of the car with the spirit cat in her arms.
After getting off the bus, since it was nighttime and there were no streetlights, they couldn't see how big the village was. A dozen or so houses still had their lights on. Liu Xiaoyuan, Su Yu, and Lingmao walked towards one of the lit houses.
Upon arriving nearby, they discovered that the house with the lights on was rather dilapidated. However, since the two were only staying for one night, dilapidated was fine; as long as they had a place to sleep, it was better than sleeping in the car.
"Knock knock..." Liu Xiaoyuan knocked on the dilapidated wooden door, making a knocking sound.
"Who is it?" A girl's voice, with a heavy local accent, soon came from inside the house.
"Hello, we're here for sightseeing and would like to stay at your place for the night, is that alright?" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door creaked open, and through the dim light shining into the room, Liu Xiaoyuan saw that the person standing in front of him was a Miao girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was beautiful, and although she was wearing some tattered clothes, they could not hide her beautiful face and good figure.
I never expected to run into a beautiful Miao girl as soon as I arrived here. Looks like I'm really lucky.
"Hello, may we stay at your place for the night?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
The girl stared at Liu Xiaoyuan with wide eyes, as if trying to figure out if he was a bad person.
At this moment, Su Yu immediately smiled and said, "Little sister, don't worry, we won't stay for free, we'll pay you." As he spoke, Su Yu took out a few Red Bulls from his pocket and handed them to the girl.
Upon seeing the money in Su Yu's hand, the girl hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking it from Su Yu. She then glanced at Su Yu, then at Liu Xiaoyuan, and finally opened the door completely, saying, "Come in."
"Thank you," Liu Xiaoyuan said quickly, then went inside.
Upon entering the house, Liu Xiaoyuan found it to be rather shabby, with hardly any decent furniture. Apart from the electric light, which was a modern appliance, there was nothing else.
This shows that the girl's family was not well-off at all.
"Little sister, where are your parents?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask when she saw that the girl's parents hadn't come out.
Just then, a few coughs came from the next room. Upon hearing the coughs, the girl immediately ran to the next room.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu exchanged a glance, and then followed closely behind.
