"You sit down and talk slowly. Wang Yao made him a cup of tea. "Who died and what was the cause of death?!"

"Li Zulai in the east of the village died on the side of Dongshan and Nanshan, and I don't know what the specific reason is, maybe he was scared, he himself had a heart attack. Wang Fengming said.

"Scared?"

"Recently, the weather has been warm, and some people in the village have gone up to the mountains to cuddle grass, and a few people have seen snakes on the South Mountain, and one of them is a black snake, several meters long! Have you seen it in the mountains for a long time?" Wang Fengming said.

Blackie!

When he said this, he knew that it was the black serpent.

"I know the snake, actually, I saved the snake. In the face of this loyal and kind elder, Wang Yao did not hide it, and said it directly.

"Hey, this is a bit troublesome!" Wang Fengming said after hearing this.

"What's wrong, uncle?"

"Some people in the village say that you raise snakes on Nanshan, and Li Zulai was scared to death by snakes!"

This is really a bit troublesome, according to this statement, then Li Zulai's death has a lot to do with himself, this is like, you are bitten by a dog, the first thing you think of is whose dog, to find the owner of the dog, not bite back.

"There is more than one snake on this South Mountain. ”

"More than one?" Wang Yao said, "Hey, what I've been seeing a lot lately is one, that black snake." ”

Wang Yao also discovered that the black snake was still very spiritual, knew what he meant, and became the guardian of Nanshan, no matter day or night, he patrolled the mountain with the local dog, and people were generally afraid of snakes, especially the big snake.

"Thank you for coming to give me a heads-up. Wang Yao said.

"Hey, my family, what do you say. Wang Fengming said, until now, he has been thinking about Wang Yao's goodness.

"If nothing else, I'll go back first. ”

"Uncle, has your old house been sold?"

"Sell it, get a new house for my son, and use it for marriage, and I will live in the village with your aunt, which is good. Wang Fengming said.

"Good. ”

Wang Yao sent him out of the door before returning to the hospital.

In mountain villages, dead people are a big deal, and in small mountain villages, the surname Wang is the main surname, in addition to the surnames Chen and Li.

Soon, the old man's death spread within a certain range.

At the very least, at lunchtime, Zhang Xiuying mentioned this matter to Wang Yao.

"Hey, I'm old, and my heart is not good, what kind of mountain to go to, what kind of grass to hold! It's not good to go somewhere, I have to go to the Nanshan area!" The latter sentence is the point, in the end, it is biased towards his son, and he also heard the rumors in the village.

"Xiao Yao, is there really a snake on the mountain?"

"Yes, and there is one that I know very well. Wang Yao said with a smile, but what he said was very interesting.

"I'm very familiar with you, how can I get acquainted with it?"

"I once saved a black snake and it was very spiritual. Wang Yao said.

"Really. ”

Wang Fenghua on the side didn't speak, just lowered his head to eat.

"Does a snake bite?" he said after eating.

"As long as it doesn't hurt it, it won't bite. Wang Yao said, "It's the same as Sanxian." ”

"Hey, what if I scare people again!" Zhang Xiuying said with some concern.

"That's what I want. Wang Yao said softly.

"What?!" his parents were shocked when they heard this.

"Dad, Mom, I don't want outsiders to get close to Nanshan, you are also here, there are many secrets on Nanshan, and they can't be known by outsiders. Wang Yao said.

On the South Mountain, there are too many shocking things, the "Spirit Gathering Array", the "Spirit Grass" in the medicine field, and the obviously wonderful comfort......

"Of course, I don't want people to die, that's unexpected. Under the shocked and somewhat worried gaze of his parents, Wang Yao said calmly.

"Earth dogs, goshawks, and black snakes were originally my mountain guards. ”

silent

Zhang Xiuying looked at her son, and Wang Fenghua smoked a cigarette.

"There will be other people going up the mountain. Zhang Xiuying said softly.

"Sanxian and Xiaohei will patrol the mountain, and I have arranged some things on the mountain. Wang Yao said.

The first thing to do is to make the people of the village have a fear of the mountain, fear will be contagious, and if you are afraid, you will not go up the mountain.

The death of the old man is considered an accident, but it can also have unexpected effects.

"Hey!" Zhang Xiuying sighed after hearing this.

"Mom, Dad, you don't have to worry too much. ”

"It's good that you know for yourself. Wang Fenghua said.

After lunch, Wang Yaofu went back to the hospital.

"Did you say our son has changed!" After taking Wang Yao away, Zhang Xiuying came to her husband's side, a little worried.

"It's changed. Wang Fenghua said.

"This mountain belongs to the village, and it is necessary to cultivate the land, to graze livestock, and to gather grass. These things Zhang Xiuying said are indispensable to the life of the people in the village.

"Half of the houses in the village have been sold, and many people will move out by then, besides, haven't Dongshan and Xishan also been half contracted!" Wang Fenghua said.

"There's a lot of land down the hill. ”

Between the east and west mountains is a spacious and long open space, the main cultivated land in the village is here, and the cultivated land on the mountain is mainly concentrated in the north part of the east and west mountains close to the village, because the south mountain is far away, starting from the village, to say less the first hour back and forth, it is inconvenient to get water, and the agricultural equipment cannot be driven, except for grazing, there is no arable land on it.

The conversation between the husband and wife ended soon because of the arrival of guests, people from the village.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, on the west mountain, there were two sisters and brothers.

"Don't go any further!" Looking at the mountains and rocks in front of him, Chen Ying had a very bad feeling.

Stones blocked the southbound mountain road.

"It's artificially arranged. She was sure.

"Sir?" said Chen Zhou.

"Nine times out of ten, he doesn't want anyone to keep going. ”

The place where the two of them are located is already the place where the West Mountain and the South Mountain are located, but in fact, these mountains are connected together, and there is no such obvious demarcation. In front of them was the incomplete "Stone Formation" laid by Wang Yao, who almost trapped two people who had strayed in it last time.

"Go back?"

The two siblings turned around and turned back.

Somewhere in the West Mountain, a sheep that came up the mountain for some unknown reason was spinning around on the mountain.

It sniffed on the ground as it walked, and a dirt pit stood in front of it, and the ground sank down, and the soil took on a strange black-gray color, and in the dirt pit, a withered, unknown plant.

Hey, this stupid sheep stood at the edge of the pit, and the soil layer at the edge of the pit was not solid, and it collapsed directly under the trampling of this sheep, and then the sheep fell into the pit, and there was dust.

The sheep didn't fall, just shook its head a few times, as if thinking about what had just happened. Then it tried to jump up, but after several attempts it was unsuccessful, and strangely enough, the goats, which are good at moving in the mountains, could not climb up.

How do you look at it, how do you feel strange.

It also felt strange and kept shaking its head.

Finally climbed up.

A family in a mountain village.

"Lao Wang, you know that when you drink, our sheep are gone!" a middle-aged woman shouted into the house.

The pen is still there, but the sheep inside don't know where they have gone.

There is also a crack in the door.

"Oh broke!" the man rushed out of the back room, still smelling of alcohol.

A sheep is hundreds of dollars!

By this time it was already dark.

"This damn sheep!" the man cursed in a low voice as he searched for it in a nearby hill.

Baa!

He heard the sound of a sheep calling, and following the sound, he found the sheep and gnawed a tree there.

"You stupid sheep!" he stepped forward and grabbed the sheep's ear and slapped it twice.

Ah, the sheep looked at him innocently.

"Go home. ”

He led the sheep back home, and by this time it was completely dark.

After dinner, Wang Yao went up the mountain early.

"Sanxian, where is Xiao Hei?" After entering the medicine field, Wang Yao called the earth dog.

After a while, the black snake appeared in front of it.

"Xiao Hei, are there any other snakes on this mountain?"

Although this black snake has spirituality, it is not a human after all, and it is far inferior to the earth dog, so naturally it will not really understand the meaning of Wang Yao's words.

"Forget it, there you go. ”

He patted the snake on the head, and the black snake left again.

"Sanxian, in addition to Xiao Hei, are there other snakes on this mountain?"

Wang, the earth dog answered.
