Merchant of the Underworld

I took a deep breath, but I didn't expect that there was actually a roadblock here.

After arriving at my fourth uncle's house, Li Mazi and I yawned. After all, driving for two days and two nights was really unbearable. Fourth uncle immediately arranged for us to sleep in the main room. No matter how we declined, he refused to let us live in the side room.

Yin Xinyue said with a smile: "You can stay here with peace of mind! This is the rule of the Dai people. Guests come first, otherwise my uncle will feel that he is neglecting you."

Unfortunately, the hospitality was too great, so we had no choice but to move into the main room.

However, when I lay on the bed, I couldn't sleep because this isolated place was so beautiful. I saw the clean sky outside the window, the bright moonlight, and the rows of stilted buildings, all like a dream.

I was fascinated by what I saw, and Li Mazi also sighed. When he saves enough money, he will marry a Dai girl and live here forever. Even death will be worth it...

I sighed and asked, "Can you please stop talking about Dai girls when you have nothing to do?" Let me tell you, I have no problem with you looking for a Dai girl, but you must tell them frankly about having a child. Otherwise, how will Yin Xinyue behave in the village in the future?

Li Mazi said: "I am so miserable in your heart? Do you have to deceive a girl to get her? Do you understand that it mainly depends on her temperament?"

Well, this guy's confidence is gone.

I slept until noon before getting up. When I got up, I smelled a strong aroma. My stomach was already growling with hunger. After I went out, I saw a lot of people gathered around the table outside. My fourth uncle was also at the table, chatting quietly.

After Yin Xinyue saw me, she immediately ran up and asked, "Why can you two sleep so well?" Fourth uncle has been waiting for you all morning.

I immediately felt embarrassed and quickly walked up to my fourth uncle to apologize. The fourth uncle smiled and said that he must be hungry, right? Let's have dinner.

I asked my fourth uncle to introduce the other people at the table, and I found out that these people were all elders of the Dai ethnic group. A guest came, and he was Yin Xinyue's friend, so the fourth uncle called all the elders to accompany him.

They were so enthusiastic that I felt a little embarrassed.

But as the food arrived, my embarrassment immediately disappeared, and I started to enjoy it.

These meals are delicious and delicious, many of which I have never seen before. What impressed me the most was the Tujia grilled carp, fried pineapple and bamboo tube rice, which you can’t eat in restaurants outside.

Soon Li Mazi and I were full of stomachs. Yin Xinyue offered to take us for a walk around the area. I readily agreed, put a bucket of oil in the car and set off.

The three of us were so interested in playing that we completely forgot about hitting the roadblock last night.

We spent the whole afternoon out exploring the mountains and rivers, catching a lot of wild animals and several fish from the ditch. Looking at it, Yin Xinyue shook her head at us and said that these wild animals were eaten by the villagers, and you should treat them as treasures.

Li Mazi said with a smile: "This is a business opportunity! These game can be sold for a lot of money outside. Let's open a company to deliver game to big hotels."

Yin Xinyue shook her head quickly and said that this is not possible. This is the granary of the villagers' homes. If you come here to catch wild animals, you are just grabbing food from the villagers' granary. Aren't you afraid of retribution?

Li Mazi blushed and said that he was just talking.

On the way back, we were all a little tired. Yin Xinyue said that you all should stay alert. There will be a show tonight, so don't spoil the girls' interest.

I immediately asked out of curiosity what program Yin Xinyue was on? Yin Xinyue said that in the evening, she would organize a dance meeting with her childhood playmates to welcome us.

When it came to the dance competition, Li Mazi immediately cheered up and said that only women would come tonight, not men, and that he would also perform a striptease to impress the girls.

I was a little excited too. I haven’t seen a Dai girl here yet. I wonder if Yin Xinyue will be as beautiful as a fairy in beautiful Dai costumes? Just thinking about it fills me with infinite longing.

Li Mazi was a little absent-minded while eating, staring at the open space outside with a look of longing.

Any fool can see what Li Mazi is thinking. Yin Xinyue said, "Don't look at it. The girls are all eating at home at this time. No one will come out. They don't start gathering until half past nine."

After dinner, we started chatting with our fourth uncle, and the topic accidentally turned to the roadblock.

My fourth uncle told me that roadblockers existed very early on. Car accidents on that road had been a constant occurrence for as long as he could remember.

I quickly asked: "Didn't you ask the master to see that road?"

The fourth uncle sighed and said: "The village has also found many wizards, but they are all incompetent. They can't tell anything, but they have defrauded a lot of money..."

However, according to the legend passed down from our ancestors, an old nun once died on this road. It seemed that he fell down from the mountain and died alive. After that, the road began to become uneven.

The elders of the Dai ethnic group unanimously believed that the old nun wanted to find a scapegoat, so she harmed passers-by.

I smiled faintly, but felt that things might not be that simple. If the old nun wants to find a scapegoat, he should be able to easily kill several people with his resentment.

But my fourth uncle told me that although there were constant car accidents on this road, no one had ever died.

As they chatted, a crisp laughter like silver bells came from a distance, and Li Mazi stood up from his chair in excitement.

I know it’s the Dai girls participating in the dance competition who are here!

Fourth uncle patted me on the shoulder, smiled and said, go ahead and play, don’t worry about this issue.

I nodded and went out of the house with Yin Xinyue.

I saw a dozen girls wearing Dai costumes outside the house walking towards us. Under the light of the bonfire, their faces were rosy and they had a lot of silverware on their heads. They were colorful, young and beautiful, and I was a little crazy to see them.

Li Mazi had already run up to greet them.

Yin Xinyue looked at me with a smile on her face: "Brother Zhang, wait here for a while, I will change clothes and come back."

With that said, she ran away.

When she appeared in front of me again, I was completely shocked.

A colorful dress was tightly wrapped around her body, making her already beautiful figure look even more curvy. Although it is not exposed, it exudes a different kind of sexiness.

Wearing a calico hat on her head, her little face is even more tender, her bright eyes are full of eyes, and her rosy lips are smiling at me. This charming scene makes me intoxicated.

"Does it look good?" Yin Xinyue walked up to me and said, "Let's go dance."

I nodded stupidly, and all I could think of was Yin Xinyue's graceful figure.

The girls danced around the bonfire to welcome us. I was so moved that I simply learned a few dance moves and joined the dance force.

They were all very enthusiastic and cheerful, and I, who was a little reserved at first, quickly blended in with them.

While we were enjoying our happy time, I vaguely heard a voice coming from the road into the village: Help!

But when I listened carefully, I couldn't hear it anymore.

I thought it was an illusion and ignored it. But soon the cry for help came again.

And this time the sound was so clear that we all heard it.

One of the girls suddenly shouted: "This seems to be the voice of Brother Yanliang! Today their family drove a tractor and went to the town to treat their children."

I immediately said: "Go and notify Fourth Uncle, Yin Xinyue and Li Mazi, and we will rescue people first."

After saying that, I grabbed the two of them and ran towards the outside of the village.

Li Mazi was very unhappy and cursed repeatedly: The beautiful woman he got flew away again.

We soon came to the dirt road leading into the village, and saw a tractor crashing into a big tree. A man's legs were crushed by the wheels of the tractor, and his flesh and blood were bruised.

After seeing us, he immediately shouted for help in pain.

I took a deep breath. Looking at the situation, he couldn't save his legs.

We immediately worked together to push the tractor away. The man looked pale and grabbed my hand and said, "Save...save my child."

"Where is your child?" I asked.

The man pointed to the ditch next to him, then closed his eyes and fainted.

Li Mazi immediately ran to turn on the headlights in front of the tractor.

Using the tractor's headlights, I saw a horrifying scene in the ditch!
