Chapter 445: The Peasant Girl of Qinghe Village 40
After reading it, Gu Nan carefully confirmed the time when the story took place, which was ten years before this dynasty. This means that the Miao people had been living in seclusion in this area.
"Found it, take a look for yourself. Once confirmed, let's put the things back and go back to the inn." She stuffed the book in her hand into Lian Cheng Jinghao's hand and said.
"I know!" Lian Cheng Jinghao read the part about the Miao people with the help of the faint candlelight and put it back.
Before leaving, Gu Nan threw a restoration wood over and then pulled him out of the yamen.
The next day, after having breakfast, he went out of the city. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he sent the driver back. Gu Nan tied up the horse, put down the isolation formation, and then entered the mountain.
As soon as they entered the mountain, the three of them were as free as fish in the sea. Gu Nan pulled Lian Cheng Jinghao and flew in front, while Bai Qi held Jun Haonan behind.
When they arrived at Wild Boar Ridge, Bai Qi and Jun Haonan were fishing by the river, while Gu Nan and Lian Cheng Jinghao were walking along the cliff, knocking and hammering from time to time.
Half an hour later, Gu Nan's spiritual sense accidentally swept across an underwater passage. After passing through the river for more than fifty meters, there was a small space, which was as wide as a small room.
At the other end of the space, there was a crack large enough for one person to pass through, and there were a few torch remnants inside. What did this mean? It was obvious.
"Jinghao, this way!"
"Passed!" Lian Cheng Jinghao heard Gu Nan's voice and immediately put away the stone in his hand.
As for the specialness of the stone, it is because there are traces of human intervention on it. The half of the stone that has been polished shows the appearance of a young girl. It only looks bloated due to the unsatisfactory craftsmanship, but the characteristics of the clothing are very obvious.
"Nannan, what's wrong?"
"I found a passage under the river, and there were traces of people left inside."
"Then I'll go down and check it out."
"No, call those two guys and let's go together." Gu Nan immediately grabbed Lian Cheng Jinghao and pointed at the two people playing in the distance.
Lian Cheng Jinghao immediately understood that Gu Nan wanted to use magic to get directly over there, and this way he didn’t have to go into the water, which was quite good.
After Gu Nan and Lian Cheng Jinghao called the people back, they used an earth escape technique to directly wrap up the people and passed through the cliff into that space.
It was very dark here. Gu Nan felt very uncomfortable entering a dark place all of a sudden, so he quickly took out a flashlight from the space.
When a ray of light illuminated this space, Lian Cheng Jinghao was so shocked that he squinted his eyes.
After they adapted, they checked the space here. There were signs of artificial expansion on the rock wall, and nothing else except charcoal ash.
"Sister, give me the flashlight, I'll cover you." After looking at it, Bai Qi keenly discovered that there were many insects hidden in the crevices here, so he handed Haonan to Lian Cheng Jinghao.
"Uncle Liancheng, I'm scared!" Jun Haonan also heard the crawling sound at this time and shrank into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, they don't dare to approach us, and your uncle is holding you, you are safe." Lian Cheng Jinghao hugged him in his arms and said.
Bai Qi took the flashlight, turned it on and tried it, then nodded to Gu Nan, indicating that he was ready. Gu Nan took the lead and walked in front, Lian Cheng Jinghao held Haonan in the middle, and Bai Qi followed closely behind.
The gap is long and narrow, and it would be difficult for fat people to pass through.
After walking in this narrow gap for about half an hour, the road ahead began to become wider and wider until it was wide enough for two people to walk through, and a faint light appeared ahead.
"Uncle Liancheng, look! There is something on the wall." Jun Haonan suddenly said in Liancheng Jinghao's ear.
After hearing this, the three of them hurriedly looked up at the space above. When they saw it, they were really shocked.
The rock wall above was covered with coffins, as if they had entered some extraordinary place.
"This hanging coffin? And it's hidden in a cave?" Bai Qi asked curiously after seeing it.
"Neither of them looks like it, and the Miao people don't have this custom! Jinghao, do you think we might have chosen the wrong direction?" Gu Nan said with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Well! Not necessarily! Look in that direction, does it look like traces of someone crawling frequently?" Lian Chengjing Haohuan looked around and pointed to the place where light was leaking from the top.
Gu Nan looked over and saw a square hole on the top of the cliff. It was difficult to estimate the width because it was far away, but according to the light, there were indeed many marks on the stone wall.
The vines on the traces were as thick as a child's arm and were crisscrossed in an orderly manner, making them easy to crawl on.
"Let's go! Let's go up and take a look." After taking a look, Gu Nan no longer cared about the coffin and said to the two of them.
When Gu Nan and his group came out of the cave, their view suddenly became wider.
After they looked around the surroundings, they found that there were cliffs all around, with only a subtle pit in the middle. The area swept by the divine sense was about a hundred acres in size.
Gu Nan now realized why the coffins were stacked in the cave like that. It was because the space was limited and it was a matter of economy.
From the quick glance she just took, she saw that there were fifty or sixty households living here, all in small houses with stilts. Judging from the decorations and people's clothing, these were the reclusive Miao people.
"Sister, there are fifty-seven small buildings here, with more than three hundred people. Their small buildings are suspended in the air, which is very interesting."
"If you're so curious, go down and take a look!" Gu Nan said with a smile.
"Don't touch the fruit. And you know, it might be poisonous." Lian Cheng Jinghao grabbed Jun Haonan's hand and warned him seriously.
"Jinghao, it's okay! Those are grandma fruits. They are edible and taste good!" After hearing this, Gu Nan looked back at the fruits on the tree and said.
Hearing that it was edible, Jun Haonan put it into his mouth without any worries. After tasting it, he found it was quite delicious!
She picked all the ones she could reach and even acted like a spoiled child and asked Lian Cheng Jinghao for help.
Liancheng Jinghao couldn't do anything about him, so he took out a rectangular towel from his waist, tied it into a small bag, and picked up all the big and good ones that were closest to him.
After they picked the fruits, they trotted after Gu Nan and the others.
The few of them ate as they walked, and finished everything before reaching the nearest stilt house.
"Who are you?" The girl who was hanging clothes upstairs near the stilt house shouted in surprise.
"We came down from the cliff above, and we didn't expect that there were people living here." Gu Nan collected his expression and said innocently.
"Come down from the cliff?" The girl looked at the cliff in front of her suspiciously.
This cliff must be about a hundred meters high. Is it really possible to get down here safely?
Seeing her look of disbelief, Gu Nan took a look, picked a tree that was about twenty feet tall, jumped lightly, reached the top of the tree, and then jumped lightly down, using his own experience to prove the credibility of their words.
After seeing this, the girl put away the thorns on her body, asked them to sit on the chairs outside, and made them some tea.
But this tea is not very clean, there are insect eggs in it.
However, for them, the poison was not a pity, but it was a bit uncomfortable and difficult for them to swallow the insect eggs while being awake.
"Miss, can you give us a glass of boiled water? It's clean!" Gu Nan didn't want to put herself in a difficult position, so she said directly.
When the girl heard this, she immediately realized that she had been discovered and could only change the water to boiled water.
"Do you know about Gu?" After the girl finished her work, she sat down opposite Gu Nan and asked.
