Chapter 74 Scarecrow

According to the local aborigines, everything appears. The only thing they have in common is that the other person always wears a hat on his head. Under the moonlight, he looks a bit like a human, but he bounces when he walks. .

Once caught, it will eat people, which is very scary.

This incident caused the local aborigines to lock their doors late at night and not dare to go out.

Gong Ya: "They said it was Duke Ahong who was causing trouble."

Since it was inconvenient to take the little gray wolf out with him, Fu Zhaozhao asked Xiaobao to borrow Gong Ya and asked him to help him look after the little gray wolf, mainly to prevent it from causing trouble.

Fortunately, the little gray wolf and Gong Ya are old acquaintances, and he licked each other several times when they first met.

"What does Ahonggong mean?" Fu Zhaozhao didn't quite understand the word.

Gong Ya thought for a while and found a word that was easier to understand, "It should be equivalent to the mountain god, but it may be a little different."

"As long as their Ahong Gong is not satisfied with the offerings, he will come out to cause mischief. And according to them, this is the first time they have seen Ahong Gong eat people, so they are all too scared to go out."

"It seems that they are planning to hold a sacrifice in a while. It is just right for us to rush there at this time."

On the way, Gong Ya briefly shared the information with her, and while speaking, he looked at Fu Zhaozhao cautiously, for fear that she might have any objections.

Fortunately, Fu Zhaozhao just listened to the whole process and didn't say much. He asked casually: "Is there any statement or information about this Ahong Gong?"

Gong Ya nodded: "Yes, there are, but not many. These information are handed down orally by the indigenous people, and there may be some deviations."

Immediately afterwards, he talked about information about A Hong Gong.

"It is said that Ahonggong is their local mountain god. Basically, as long as it is not too extreme, he can make it come true for the locals."

"Later, a particularly serious disaster occurred in the village. In order to save them, Ahong Gong donated one of his legs. From then on, he only had one leg left and he would go around the mountains and forests every day to see if there were people in need of help. "

"Later, in order to commemorate Ahong Gong, the indigenous people would hold a scarecrow sacrifice at a specific time."

Fu Zhaozhao was a little surprised, "What does it have to do with the Scarecrow?"

Gong Ya: "Didn't A Hong Gong save them with only one leg? Then the image of the scarecrow is very similar to the legendary A Hong Gong, so they replaced A Hong Gong with a scarecrow."

What he said makes some sense.

Fu Zhaozhao: "But from what you said, Ahong Gong should be a good mountain god. How could he suddenly start eating people?"

Gong Ya waved his hand innocently, "I don't know that. Anyway, this is what happened based on the investigation."

"Then what was the disaster that caused Duke Ahong to lose one of his legs?"

Gong Ya: "...I'm not too sure about this. They refused to say it, saying that only the clan leaders of the past generations knew about it."

Fu Zhaozhao looked thoughtful.

The road ahead was fairly smooth. After getting off the train, the little gray wolf seemed to feel trapped and ran away. He howled uncontrollably as he ran on both sides, beginning to look like an adult gray wolf.

Unfortunately, they only had fun for a while before they were arrested by Gong Ya.

"Little Huihui, it's time for us to take the bus. Be quiet." He touched the little gray wolf's head and then put it back into the pet bag.

Fortunately, the place is not too far away. After taking a bus on the way, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the endless mountains, Fu Zhaozhao fell into rare silence.

Gong Ya raised his hand and pointed to the highest mountain peak and said, "The place is at the foot of that mountain. There are no cars from here that can get there, so we have to walk." At the end of the sentence, his breath also disappeared. .

It looked like this mountain would be insurmountable within ten hours.

And after going up, you still need to climb over to the other side of the mountain, and only when you reach the bottom of the mountain can you reach your destination.

The two were silent for a while, only the little gray wolf seemed particularly excited.

Fu Zhaozhao: "It's getting late, let's go."

Then the two of them walked up the mountain one after the other.

Fortunately, both of them were in good health and were fast on their feet. They climbed to the top of the mountain in less than ten hours.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Gong Ya saw the rope hanging in the air at a glance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This rope was used to make it easier for the local aborigines to go out and purchase goods, but now it is more advantageous for them.

Relying on the rope, we arrived at our destination in less than ten minutes, much earlier than expected.

Xu didn't see many outsiders, and the local aborigines all poked their heads and looked outside, looking full of gossip.

Fortunately, someone had already greeted them in advance before they arrived. The patriarch was not surprised to see them, but he just asked the young people around him to take them to rest with a cold attitude.

"Our sacrifice will begin in three days. If you want to know anything then, you can ask after the sacrifice. There is one thing, you cannot touch the 'Ahong Gong' in the field." The patriarch said in a cold tone.

After saying this, he coughed and turned around to leave. Seeing the other person's trembling body, he felt as if he would fall down the next moment.

Fortunately, the clan leader walked very steadily, at least he did not fall in front of them.

The young man who took them in was very curious.

"You must listen to the patriarch, the 'A Hong Gong' in the field cannot be touched. If he does, he will die on the same day." The young man said.

Fu Zhaozhao: "Isn't your Ahonggong a mountain god? Why is he in the field?"

Later, after the young man's explanation, Fu Zhaozhao finally understood that the scarecrow standing in the field was also the incarnation of A Honggong and could not be moved during the preparations for the sacrifice.

Aman said: "The patriarch said, whoever touches Ahong Gong will become the next incarnation of Ahong Gong, so it is best not to touch it, it is unlucky." In the end, he still endured it. He couldn't help but shook his head.

"The place has arrived. You will stay here for the next few days. There are two beds in it. If it is inconvenient, you can tell me." Aman led the two of them to an old wooden house.

The wooden house doesn't look big, but the structure outside looks old, as if no one has lived there for a long time.

Fortunately, I heard that someone was going to live there, so I cleaned it up in advance.

Gong Ya was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so he asked for more places to live, but was interrupted by Fu Zhaozhao.

"That's it. Apart from A Hong Gong not being able to move, are there any other taboos that you can tell me about?"

Aman thought for a while: "There's nothing else, except that there is a well behind our village. You'd better not go there."

Gong Ya was curious, "Why?"

Aman scratched his head, and finally just said: "How can I say this? It's not auspicious there. You'd better not go if you can."
