What words should I use to describe the experience of my youth, at that age of confusion and ignorance, youth that did not even understand why I was alive was one of the very few times that made me happy.

Even if they don't have much money and are burdened with a lot of debts, the weak ones are often bullied by some so-called seniors. But in that time, under the dim candlelight, listening to the snoring of the brothers, drinking spicy and cheap wine, and eating light and tasteless steamed buns. When he was drunk, he fell asleep on the side of the road without hesitation, and woke up and smoked a cigarette.

In the eyes of others it is pitiful, but in my eyes it is beautiful.

Leaned against the corner and slept all night, and when he woke up the next day, he had a sore back, Lingqian woke up early in the morning and had gone outside for a turn.

"You can wake up, it's almost noon outside. ”

Lingqian stood in the doorway and shouted.

The fat man rubbed his eyes and slowly stood up from the ground, yawned and said, "I have nothing to do in broad daylight, what are you doing?"

He was wearing big pants and stood in front of Lingqian without any scruples, and the startled Lingqian hurriedly covered his eyes and shouted, "You put on your pants first." ”

"Hey, they're all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, where the hell there are so many rules, and it's not like I'm not wearing pants. You've never seen a man's pants, have you?"

"I didn't say you!

Lingqian covered her eyes and pointed back, the fat man looked back, only to see that Luo Qiong, the kid, was fucking naked, and the fat man was all over the place, and kicked Luo Qiong's ass and shouted, "You don't fucking sleep without clothes." ”

"My dad said that sleeping like this is good for the body and warm. Get used to it, hehe......"

I was awakened by a commotion, and after freshening up, everyone sat in the house, eating their nests, and the fat man took a sip of water and said, "According to your meaning, the chiefs of several villages are holding meetings in the courtyard.

"I'm standing outside, and I don't seem to want an outsider to listen. However, I heard that the old party said that he was going to prepare to unite some hunters to go into the mountains to catch snakes. But it may have been frightened by the phantom of the snake in the moon, and no one dares to make a decision now. ”

Lingqian's words are also right, the phantom released by the snake in the moon is at least twenty meters long, where have you seen such a big snake in the world, the uninformed people will definitely take it seriously, and no one is sure to deal with this kind of twenty-meter-long snake. In case of a fatality, no one will be able to clean up the mess in the end, and if it makes a big mess, the village will not be even.

"I'm worried that the villagers will poke out the news, the business of the moon snake may be less gold than the monkey, but it will definitely cause a sensation, and when the time comes, the people who choke will come one after another, and it will be more difficult for us to catch the moon snake. ”

Lingqian interjected, this matter is also imminent.

"It's better to do this, because we're afraid that they will go outside to find help, so we might as well recommend ourselves. Instead of worrying that they will find outsiders to choke, it is better for us to be demon catchers ourselves. But you can't just go out and talk about it now, you don't necessarily have to be generous enough to tell them that we're specialized in catching demons. You have to think about it from the beginning, and the old party can be the introducer. But now is not the time, or rather not the best time. ”

I habitually pursed my lips after saying that.

"When will you say that?"

The fat man asked curiously.

"Just imagine, if you are a villager under Taibai Mountain, and you are also a skilled hunter, will you ask outsiders for help if there is a big snake in the mountain?"

I asked.

"No, there is a saying among us hunters that our own mountain is our own nest. Orion regards the mountain as if it were his own home, and if he can't even protect his own home, he will be looked down upon. So if something happens in the mountains, I usually don't ask others for help, I must find a way to do it myself. ”

Luo Qiong immediately replied that he was born in Orion and had the most right to speak at this time.

That's right, so they won't ask for help for a while, unless they have something they can't solve. At that time, we will come forward to recommend ourselves, which is just twice the result with half the effort. ”

I tapped the table lightly and said with a smile.

The fat man and Luo Qiong both felt that it made sense and nodded slightly. Lingqian looked at me with some surprise, I was still a fledgling novice when I was in the Great Black Mountain, and I basically didn't have any opinions, and most of the time I listened to Lingqian. Even though I did a few votes of business and became a little famous, in Lingqian's eyes, I was still a little person with no big skills, but good luck. But today's analysis of mine has made this arrogant lady of the spirit family have a different impression of me.

"So what are we doing during the day?"

The fat man lit a cigarette and said boredly.

"You go to the old man, and let the old man take you around the neighborhood, feel the situation in the surrounding villages, and find out the situation from his mouth by the way. Lingqian and I stayed here, how to catch the moon snake after the total. ”

After that, the fat man and Luo Qiong went out together, and I sat down at the table and poured myself a bowl of water.

"The moon snake is not so easy to catch, and according to the literature I have, there is no specific way to catch the moon snake so far. Most of them are descriptions of the existence of lunar snakes, so even in ancient times, not everyone was sure that lunar snakes actually existed. Not to mention the arrest, I have analyzed a few successful cases, and there is nothing in common. ”

Lingqian said.

I nodded, unable to interject at the moment, she suddenly stared at me and said, "Gu Yu said to me when he came back, you are not simple. I always thought he was making excuses for not being able to get the job done. After coming back, the senior said that you have a backer behind you, and asked my brother not to touch you. At that time, I looked down on you even more, thinking that you were just a lucky guy with no real skills. ”

"What about now? Does it change for me?"

I asked with a smile.

"No, I still think you're a lucky guy with no real skills, but at least one thing seems pretty good to me, you're pretty smart. ”

This woman is very hard-mouthed, but the eldest lady in the TV series has the same virtue as her, and I haven't thought about how good my relationship with her will be in the future, so it doesn't matter what she thinks.

"What about you, the Ling family's big plate, how could you let such a young lady come out to find someone to do business by herself?"

I asked after taking a sip of water.

Unexpectedly, Lingqian's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "You don't need to know about our family." ”

It seemed like there was something hidden, and I shrugged my shoulders and said no more.

The fat man and Luo Qiong wandered around outside for a day, and only came back when it was close to evening. Entering the door, the fat man wiped the sweat on his face and said with a smile: "I have been around with Lao Fang for a day." Basically figured out the situation. There are three villages around this area, with a population of about two or three thousand, which is considered a large village. It is not too far from Baoji County, there are about 200 hunters, of course, there are not many people who really live entirely on hunting, plus Taibai Mountain has been protected by the state in recent years, and the ban on hunting is also very powerful, so many hunters have changed their careers to run transportation or become farmers. Most of the hunters in this vicinity have no guns, and they rely on traps for hunting. So I haven't discussed how to deal with the moon snake yet. ”

"Isn't Lao Fang also from Orion? Didn't he go in to find out the news?"

I asked.

"No, the old party doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, in fact, many hunters are not willing to risk their lives to go into the mountains to catch snakes, and many people say that this is a sacred snake, the incarnation of the gods, and advocate not hunting to offer it. ”

In fact, many places in China from ancient times to the present have the custom of worshiping demon gods, and many goblins in ancient legends are not great evil, and they can also appease the people after attaining the Tao, bringing good weather and rain. It is not uncommon for the local people to worship goblins.

"When are they going to do it?"

I asked.

"I heard that I plan to go into the mountain tomorrow night to search, and there are about 60 people in the first batch, which is quite a lot, but Taibai Mountain is relatively large, and there are not enough people to see when they enter the mountain. ”

Luo Qiong interjected.

I was about to speak, when suddenly there was the sound of gongs outside, and many figures were shaking in front of the windows, and many people walked back and forth.

"What's going on?"

I asked curiously.

"Youkai is coming......"

At that moment, we heard a villager shouting in panic outside. “
