Chapter 1298

Xiaomei looked at Tang Qi angrily: "why don't you let me call Dad! Xiaoju dares to do this to me? She and I are sisters!"

"How old are you two?" Tang Qi thought they should be the same age, so he was curious.

"Seven months." Xiaomei said simply.

Tang Qi's face changed slightly. What kind of maternal can't give birth to two sisters so close to their age! Xiaomei also found something wrong and reluctantly smiled at Tang Qi: "in fact, she and I are not my father's own flesh and blood. We were selected from the village."

Tang Qi didn't quite understand. Xiaomei directly explained to Tang Qi that there would be a rule in the village in Myanmar. When the girls were of the right age, they would choose a very lovely beauty to inherit the gem warehouse of the whole village.

Tang Qihao said strangely, "as soon as you hear the name, you know there are many good things in it. How many things?"

Xiaomei smiled and said, "in fact, there is nothing. This gem warehouse is an important gathering place for cultural relics in the village. But because of many wars, all the things in it have been robbed. Now there is only a mask left. This mask is a totem of our village. It is called crazy snake mask."

Tang Qi nodded. He had heard about this mask in classical books. It is a very precious cultural relic.

It is said that it was handed down from the Tang Dynasty and has been made of bronze for thousands of years. It is inlaid with jewels. It is said that a general of the Tang Dynasty fought abroad and put all the jewels on the mask. It is not only the value of jewels, but also the historical value of this cultural relic, There are also some documents behind the mask, which played a great role in the study of foreign wars in the Tang Dynasty.

And the most important thing is that there is a snake on the mask, circling in the upper part, winding and winding. Above the two eyes are two top-level green Jadeites, which makes people look at the past is soul stirring, and the memory is particularly familiar. Countless people flocked to this mask, but decades ago, the mask suddenly disappeared. But I went to a village in Myanmar. No wonder people in the domestic antique industry have not heard any news.

Xiaomei Road: "Although it is said that the period of the gem warehouse is different, it is actually for the inheritance right of the mask, because they say that the mask has experienced the battlefield and is stained with a lot of blood, so there are ghosts on it, and bad things often happen. In order to pray, an unmarried girl with a mask in her hand faces the west every ten years Fang knelt down and had to perform a series of ceremonies in order to avoid disaster. "

Tang Qi probably understood that Xiaomei and Xiaoju were all girls selected by the chief to protect the mask.

"Originally, Xiaoju wanted to do such a thing, but my father said that the eight characters of my birthday were more appropriate, so he decided to let me take over the mask. In fact, there were eight girls selected at the beginning, but now there are only two of us."

Tang Qi said, "I don't know where those girls have gone now?"

Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. Maybe she's dead! I think if she didn't misunderstand Xiaoju, those people should have been given by her..." she couldn't go on, choking.

It turned out that her father had selected these girls, and then looked at their birthdays, looks and blood. Since it was a sacrifice to the mask, of course, the best and best girls could get it. A total of eight girls met the requirements, but in a few years, accidents began to happen one after another.

Especially this year is the time. As the mask comes out of the warehouse again, some of these girls accidentally fall off the cliff while walking, some eat poisonous food and die violently. One night, she met a rogue and was insulted. She couldn't think of it and hanged herself.

Tang Qi said, "use the same method as you?"

"Yes, that girl has the best conditions. It is said that the eight characters of her birthday are the most appropriate. When she died, my father was sad for a long time. I didn't think she would do it!" Xiaomei said and wiped her tears. She was very sad. Because this matter spread, there were some bad rumors in the village that there were a lot of evil spirits on this mask. If someone could be contaminated, she would die without a place to bury.

"Originally, the mask could be kept in the warehouse after ten years, or it could be directly owned by the sacrificial women for ten years. It's extremely easy, but now we see that so many candidates have had accidents. How dare you have any thoughts? They all quickly refused. It's the will of God and can't do so."

Tang Qi said, "it's not God's will, it's obviously man-made!"

"Yes, some girls gave up when they saw such a dangerous situation. She didn't want to die. Some people left the village directly to study and get married. Others were very unconvinced and wanted to have a try. One girl scolded for a few days and said that she must be a sacrificial girl. As a result, she was torn open , he was hanged on the big tree at the entrance of the village. No one dared to say this again. "

Gradually, Xiaoju and Xiaomei were the only suitable girls in the village.

Tang Qi frowned and said, "I want to know that apart from such things, your father didn't respond at all?"

"Well, he just said that God's will can't be violated. Since it's the test of God, I have to bear it all the time! In fact, I didn't think it was a big deal before. I thought it was the punishment of the evil spirit on the mask. Where did I think 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 at other times, it can be forgiven, but the person dealing with is old Qin. How can he not be here and let two girls deal with it together? I don't think it's possible."

Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "OK, I know. I'll take you now, but can you not..."

"Don't tell him that Xiaoju wants to deal with you?"

"Yes, because I don't believe what she will do!" Xiaomei said: "although she and I are not our own sisters, we are really good to me. We have known each other for more than ten years. When I grew up in a village, she once saved my life. If my father knew, she would cut her thousands of times! I don't want her!"

Tang Qi saw the crying tears in her eyes, so he had to nod his head: "I know. I see your father talking. But I always think that since he is so smart, he can't know the strife and disputes in this."

"You mean... No! My father doesn't know. Otherwise, how could he let the situation develop like this and don't do it? They are all dead! Those girls all have the same looks as flowers and die in their early twenties!" Xiaomei said, wiping her tears, which was very difficult.

Tang Qi patted her on the shoulder and said, "OK, let's go."

The two people came out of the woods together. Just after passing a small stone bridge in front, they saw Xiaoju coming here in a hurry. When they saw Xiaomei and Tang Qi together, she was stunned at first, and then looked at the two people in shock.

Tang Qi said, "what's the matter? You seem to be in a bad mood!"

Xiaoju said, "where did you come from? You... You..." Tang Qi understood what she meant. She must want to ask if you heard something. Who knows, Xiaomei pulled her aside before Tang Qi spoke.

Xiaomei said with a smile, "we just walked around, because Tang Qi didn't come here. All the people lost their way and went to the bamboo forest over there. We haven't just found it."

The place where Zhulin and the eavesdropping conversation just now are clearly two directions, so Xiaoju is relieved. She looks at her expression again. It's no big deal, so Xiaoju nods: "send Tang Qi away."

"I'd like to meet my husband and leave in a minute." Tang Qi said.

Xiaoju said, "my father is not here."

"He already knows. Mr. Tang Qi said that he firmly does not believe that our father is not here. I can't say anything. There's no way. What else can I do except take him? I'll be back when I go."

"OK, you go." Xiaoju looked at Xiaomei and walked to her side, and then walked quickly to the direction of the woods.

Tang Qi looked at her back and said, "guess what he did?"

"How do I know?" Xiaomei said.

"I guess she's looking for clues that we overheard here. The woman's eyes turn disorderly. It looks very disorderly. If she finds something at that time, it's estimated that she will advance her plan."

Xiaomei bit her lips as she walked and said, "I'd rather not have that mask than let her treat me like this. I like Xiaoju so much that she can't make mistakes again and again."

Tang Qi patted her on the shoulder: "let's go!"

"You must help me."

Tang Qi smiled but didn't say anything. What you think is very simple! Don't you just say no? If you do this, you just tell Xiaoju what happened before. She already knows what's going on. I don't want to die. If you want to take away the mask, just do it well. I won't participate in it, but the more so, the more unlikely Xiaoju will let her live.

Xiao Meiwei was wronged and tears fell down. Tang Qi looked at it with pity.

"OK, don't cry. Your father will doubt it when you see it, and you won't lie. You'll expose her whereabouts at that time. You don't want to kill Xiaoju, and she won't live."
