If you want to say that this cottage is from top to bottom, from old to young, with a fierce personality with a knife and a gun, which one is not a character? Isn't the old patriarch a character? In the war years, he led the hot-blooded sons and daughters of the cottage to transport grain to the troops, unloaded the earthen cannons, abandoned the bandits and joined the peasants, and faced the loess with his back to the sky all his life, without complaint or regret.

Isn't the sixth master a character? Guarding the boundary cottage, guarding his love, guarding the world's vision, and guarding the treasure he wants to protect, this is a lifelong thing, others live a day like him, who can stand such loneliness and loneliness?

Qin Yuxi, who was walking behind the sixth master, slowly fell silent, and she didn't know how long she had been bored, she reached the first line of heaven, entered the gate of heaven, and saw the stone master standing silently above the first line of heaven.

Since the approximate location of the treasure, after it was leaked by Shi Ye, he has been living here to atone for his sins, and when he saw Qin Yuxi coming, Shi Ye slightly bent down to the sixth master and Qin Yuxi to show respect for the patriarch and the patriarch's heir.

"I brought Yuxi over to see what she was protecting. ”

The sixth master stopped in front of Shi Ye and motioned for Shi Ye to lead the way in front.

Shi Ye understood, so he turned around and took the sixth master and Qin Yuxi into a narrow gap in the stone wall of the first line of heaven, and then entered a jungle, and there was a slight sound of water in the forest.

After walking a little further into the forest, there was a body of water, which was a little deeper, but it was extremely wide in the forest, and the water was full of weeds, and among the weeds, there were black water snakes of different thicknesses churning from time to time.

There are many snakes in the mountains, and the people of the Jieshanzhai are not afraid of strangers to creatures like snakes.

This kind of black water snake Qin Yuxi often sees, it is a special snake in this mountainous area, but he has never found it, this water area is the snake nest of this kind of snake species, there are so many black snakes in the waters, densely so dense that the human scalp is numb.

"The patriarch and heir of each realm cottage will let the female snake here take a bite, in the words of today's people, plant a vaccine, and you can be safe when you pass the miasma. ”

The sixth master explained to Qin Yuxi, took Qin Yuxi in front, and then stopped at the edge of the water, and a black snake under his feet slipped by, and did not attack.

Qin Yuxi said very ordinarily: "We have snake medicine on us, and they are avoiding us." ”

There is an ancestral snake medicine in the Jieshanzhai people, which can not only detoxify snake venom, but also drive snakes away and avoid snakes.

Therefore, there is not a single snake in the cottage, and the mountain people are also accustomed to walking everywhere with snake medicine, even the newborn doll clothes are hung with a black cloth bag, and the cloth bag contains a package of snake medicine.

When the Dongshan garrison just arrived in Dongshan, it was also trapped by snakes, and later found that the village under the mountain had snake medicine to drive snakes and avoid snakes, and it could also relieve snake venom, so they often entered the boundary cottage to buy snake medicine.

In the past, Qin Yuxi only thought that this was a specialty of Jieshanzhai, but he never thought about why Jieshanzhai had ancestral snake medicine, and why was it black when the little doll had a cloth bag containing snake medicine hanging on her clothes?

Why does the totem on the threshing floor look like a snake but not a snake, like a dragon and not a dragon?

"Because you are a person from the realm of cottages, you have been taking snake medicine since you were a child, so if you are bitten by these black snakes, your body will not be poisoned, but you will be vaccinated. ”

The sixth master explained very hard, he is a person who has never read a book, it is difficult to explain everything here from a scientific point of view, so others seem to be fantastic, but all of this has its inevitable logic in it.

He turned his head, looked at Qin Yuxi, and said:

"I saw that you were a girl, and I originally told you about this as a story, just thinking that after a hundred years, someone would know what I was holding on to in my life, but obviously someone has set sights on this batch of treasures now, I am afraid that you will not be able to deal with those bad people in the future, so I have no choice but to drag Zihan into the water for you. ”

What the sixth master said was that on the day he inherited the position of patriarch, he and Shi Ye conspired to make Qin Yuxi and Qi Zihan faint and carry them here, so that the black snake also bit Qi Zihan.

Although Qi Zihan has not taken snake medicine since he was a child, his physique is very good, and he has come to Dongshan for three or four years, because he likes Qin Yuxi, he goes to the house of the sixth master and Chen Yulian to buy snake medicine every three or five days, and these snake medicines are not used up, so he soaks in water and drinks them himself.

Especially during the winter and summer vacations every year, Qi Zihan is like living in a snake nest, and he can't wait to buy snake medicine three times a day, so he drinks a lot more diligently.

He drank all these snake medicines, so he found an excuse to buy them, in fact, the sixth master also saw that Qi Zihan just wanted to buy snake medicine under an excuse to come to see Qin Yuxi.

Therefore, Qi Zihan has been in Dongshan for three or four years, and he has eaten more snake medicine than any garrison in Dongshan.

Yes, Qi Zihan was given a vaccine, and Qi Zihan had nothing to do.

As long as Qi Zihan is there, those who play with the idea of treasure outside don't want to hurt Qin Yuxi's hair.

This is the sixth master's love for Qin Yuxi, although he is a little selfish and dragged Qi Zihan into the water for no reason, but if he tells Qi Zihan the truth, I believe that Qi Zihan himself is also willing.

While speaking, Shi Ye, who was far away, had already supported the boat, and the sixth master and the silent Qin Yuxi got on the boat, and the small boat passed through the trees growing in the water and entered the depths of the water.

In the depths of the forest, a blue-white mist began to float, which was the gas emitted by the decay and fermentation of a tree planted here, which the ancients called miasma.

People who don't have a vaccine in their bodies can't get through this miasma.

I don't know how long the boat went, the sixth master turned around and handed an egg to Qin Yuxi, who was sitting on the boat, and said in a low voice:

"Have a bite to eat, we'll be back to the village in the evening. ”

Qin Yuxi took the egg, lowered her head and peeled off the eggshell, little by little, and then slowly reddened her eyes, she looked up at the sixth master, and then looked at the stone master who was holding the boat for a long time, and asked in a dumb voice:

"You guys are like this, year after year, month and night, just to keep such a thing, is it worth it?"

The sixth master, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, did not speak, his back was facing Qin Yuxi, and his back was as strong as Qin Yuxi remembered.

She was raised by the sixth master, even if the sixth master didn't say it, Qin Yuxi understood the answer and had no regrets.

Generations of people in the world have never regretted it.

From hundreds of years ago, to hundreds of years later, even if the owner of the treasure did not come back, even if the vicissitudes of life have changed.

No one has ever thought about regretting it, and no one has thought about why they should continue to stick to the faith that they have held for hundreds of years.

Guarding it, generation after generation, is to guard it, not to let it be known, not to let outsiders take it away.

That's all, that's all!
