Super Pickup King
Chapter 1298: For the mask
Xiaomei looked at Tang Qi angrily: "Why don't you let me call my dad! Xiaoju dare to treat me like this? She and I are sisters!"
"How old are you two?" Tang Qi felt that the two of them should be the same age, so he was curious.
"Seven months." Xiaomei said simply.
Tang Qi's face changed slightly. What kind of mothers couldn't give birth to two sisters who were so close in age! Xiaomei also found something wrong, and grudgingly smiled at Tang Qi: "In fact, she and I are not father's biological flesh and blood. We were selected from the village."
Tang Qi didn't quite understand, Xiao Mei explained to Tang Qi directly that there was a rule in that village in Myanmar. When the girl was of the right age, she would choose a very cute beauty and inherit the gem warehouse of the whole village.
Tang Qi curiously said, "As soon as I hear this name, I know that there are many good things in it. How many things?"
Xiao Mei smiled and said: "In fact, there is nothing. This gem warehouse is a gathering place for important cultural relics in the village. But because of many wars, the contents were completely taken away, and now there is nothing left. A mask. This mask is a totem of our village. It is called the Mask of the Mad Snake."
Tang Qi nodded. He once heard about this mask in classical books. It was a very precious cultural relic.
It is said to have been handed down from the Tang Dynasty. It has been for thousands of years. It was made of bronze, with gems inlaid on it. It is dazzling and valuable. Legend has it that a general of the Tang Dynasty fought abroad and seized it. All of the jewels are placed on the mask. Not only is the value of the gemstone, coupled with the historical value of this cultural relic, there are also some documents behind the mask, which have a great research effect on the study of the Tang Dynasty’s foreign expeditions at that time.
And the most important thing is that there is a snake on this mask, hovering on the upper part, meandering, and two top green emeralds above the two eyes, which makes people look breathtaking in the past, and the memory is exceptionally proficient. Countless people rushed to this mask, but decades ago, the mask suddenly disappeared. It turned out to be in a village in Myanmar. No wonder people in the domestic antiques industry have not heard any news.
Xiaomei said: "Although it is said that there are different periods of gem warehouse, it is actually for the inheritance of that mask, because they said that this mask had gone through the battlefield and was stained with a lot of blood, so there are ghosts surrounding it. Bad things often happen. In order to pray for blessings, every ten years, an unmarried girl has to bow to the west with a mask in her hand and perform a series of rituals to avoid disaster."
Tang Qi probably understood that it turned out that both Xiaomei and Xiaoju were chosen by the chief to protect the masked girls.
"Originally Xiaoju was going to do such a thing, but my father said that my birthday is more suitable, so he decided to let me take over this mask. In fact, there were eight girls selected at the beginning, but now only left We are two."
Tang Qi said, "I don't know where those girls have gone now?"
Xiaomei hesitated, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's already dead! I think if it wasn't for Xiaoju's misunderstanding, those people should have been given by her..." She couldn't go on, choked up. Word.
It turned out that her father selected these girls, and then looked at their birthday characters, but also looked at their looks and blood. Since it was a sacrifice for masks, of course, the best and most outstanding girls can get them. There are eight in total. This girl meets the requirements, but in the past few years, accidents began to occur one after another.
Especially this year is the time. When the mask was about to come out of the warehouse again to see the sun, some of these girls accidentally rolled down the cliff while walking, and some of them ate poisonous food and died suddenly. , Another night when she met a gangster and was insulted, she couldn't think of it and hung herself directly.
Tang Qi said, "Using the same method of dealing with you?"
"Yes, that girl has the best conditions. It is said that the birth date is the most suitable. When she died, my father was sad for a long time. I didn't think she would do this thing!" Xiao Mei said. Wiped tears, very sad. Because this incident spread, there were some bad rumors in the village, saying that there were a lot of evil spirits on this mask, and if someone could be contaminated, there would be no place to bury it.
"Originally, that mask can choose to remain in the warehouse after ten years, or it can be directly attributed to the sacrificial woman for ten years. This is supremely easy, but now that so many candidates are in trouble. Everyone dared to have any thoughts, and they all quickly refused. They said that it was God’s will to do so.”
Tang Qi said, "This is not God's will, it is clearly man-made!"
"Yes, some girls gave up immediately when they saw such a dangerous situation. She didn't want to die. Others left the village directly for entrance examinations and got married, and gave up the matter completely. Not convinced, and wanted to give it a try, a girl cursed directly for a few days, saying that she must be a sacrificial woman, but she was torn her mouth and hanged on the big tree at the entrance of the village. No one dared to say anything about this ever since."
Gradually, the only suitable girls in the village are Xiaoju and Xiaomei.
Tang Qi frowned and said, "I want to know that apart from such things, your father didn't even react at all?"
"Well, he just said that God's will cannot be violated. Since it is the test of God, you must bear it all the time! Actually, I hadn't been a big deal before. I thought it was the punishment of the evil spirit on the mask, but I did not think that it was actually man-made!"
Tang Qi said: "I want to see your father. Don't tell me that your father is not here. I don't believe it. If he is not here, I can forgive him, but the person who is dealing with is Mr. Qin, how could he be here? Here, let the two girls deal with it together, I think it is impossible."
Xiao Mei hesitated, then nodded: "Okay, I see, I will take you there now, but can you stop..."
"Don't tell him what Xiaoju wants to deal with you?"
"Yes, because I don't believe what she would do!" Xiao Mei said, "Although she and I are not biological sisters, they are really good to me. We have known each other for more than ten years and grew up in a village. She also saved my life once, if my father knew about it, she would definitely be slashed! I don't want her!"
Tang Qi saw the pleading tears in her eyes, so he nodded: "I know, I see your father is talking about it. But I always think that since he is so smart, it is impossible not to know the turmoil and disputes in it. of."
"You mean...no! My father doesn't know, otherwise, how could he let the situation develop and not take action? They are all dead! Those girls are all flowers-like appearances in their early twenties Dead!" Xiao Mei said, wiping her tears, very sad.
Tang Qi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them walked out of the woods together. Just after crossing a small stone bridge in front, they saw Xiaoju rushing over here. Seeing Xiaomei and Tang Qi together, she was first taken aback, and then looked at the two people in shock. .
Tang Qi said, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood!"
Xiaoju said, "You came from there? You...you..." Tang Qi knew what she meant. She must want to ask, did you hear something? Who knows if you don't wait for Tang Qi to speak, you will be caught by Xiaomei. Pulled aside.
Xiao Mei smiled and said: "We just walked around, because Tang Qi has never been here before, and all of them got lost, so they went to the bamboo forest over there. This is not just to be found."
The place where Zhu Lin and the conversation just overheared were clearly in two directions, so Xiao Ju was relieved, and looked at her expression again, it was no big deal, so Xiao Ju nodded: "Send Tang Qi away."
"I want to see Mr., and I will leave soon." Tang Qi said.
Xiaoju said: "My father is not here."
"He already knows it. Mr. Tang Qi said that he firmly doesn't believe our father is not here. I can't say anything. There is no way. Apart from taking him, what other way can I do? I will go and come back. ."
"Okay, you go." Xiaoju watched Xiaomei walk by her side, and then quickly walked towards the woods.
Tang Qi looked at her back and said, "Guess what he did?"
"How do I know?" Xiao Mei said.
"I guess she was looking for the clues that we were eavesdropping here. The woman's eyes turned wildly, and she looked very confused. If she finds something by then, it is estimated that she will have to change her plan. Earlier."
Xiaomei bit her lip as she walked and said: "I would rather not have that mask than let her treat me like this. I like Xiaoju so much, she can't make mistakes and make mistakes."
Tang Qi patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go!"
"You must help me."
Tang Qi smiled without saying a word, said in his heart, what you think is quite simple! If you say you don't want it? If you do this, you just told Xiaoju what happened before. She already knows what happened. I don't want to die. If you want to take away the mask, just do it. I won't be involved in this matter, but the more so. , The less likely it is for Xiaoju to keep her alive.
Xiaomei was wronged, tears fell, and Tang Qi looked at me with pity.
"Okay, don't cry. Your father will be suspicious when he sees it, and you won't lie. You will expose her whereabouts at that time. If you don't want to kill Xiaoju, she won't survive."
