The inside of the stone house was dark and clean, and the air was unusually clear, and it seemed to have a faint fishy smell.

Du Yi suppressed the sound of slightly rapid breathing.

With cold sweat on his forehead, he crept cautiously to his mother's bedroom in the West Wing.

I saw that in the gap in the stone wall next to the door, there was a short sword with an ebony handle stuck diagonally.

This short sword was my mother's self-defense tool back then.

Although Linglong Siqu doesn't have a villain who thinks about pulling a woman's pants all day long, a woman with a child still has to be guarded against.

Du Yi raised his right hand and clenched the hilt of his sword.

Firm and slightly cool to the touch.

There are many small pits specially nailed out of the fine wood texture to enhance friction.

"Zi~"

This black short sword, which was one foot two long and two fingers wide, and was suspected to be made of tungsten steel, was slowly pulled out of the gap in the stone wall by Du Yi.

Ten years later, there was still no rust on the blade.

With a knife in his hand, Du Yi suddenly became bold.

With a wave of your hand.

"Click!"

Directly cut off the back of a rotten chestnut tree chair next to it.

Still unusually sharp.

Du Yi then cut a thick wooden stick with a fork outside the hall, took out the strong flashlight inside the canvas bag, and tied it to the thick wooden stick.

"Squeak~"

Open the heavy wooden windows and let in the sunlight.

"Twitter~"

"Cuckoo, cuckoo~"

Let it in, the house is full of birds.

With a stick in his left hand and a sword in his right, Du Yi began to search cautiously in the house.

The west wing, the big cabinet and the big wooden box under the bed on the bed, no.

Hall, there is none.

Du Yi walked into the east wing with a nervous heart.

This is the bedroom he will have when he grows up.

It is also the rice warehouse of the family.

"Squeak~"

Open the wooden window first.

After some searching, there is still none.

"Did I guess wrong, or went out foraging?"

Of course, Du Yi hopes that this is the former.

Otherwise, he would have to find a way to 'get the snake away'.

——

The crisis was temporarily lifted, and Du Yi was so tired that he sat on the edge of the wooden bed panting and wiping his sweat, while looking around the bedroom with nostalgia.

The walls are plastered with awards.

Elementary school, junior high school.

Three good students, learning pacesetters, essay competitions,——

After high school, although Du Yi was admitted to the city's first high school, his foundation was still not as good as those who were proud of the sky, and his grades were always below average.

Belong to the kind of students who don't have a sense of existence.

He won two certificates in sports competitions, but he didn't come back from high school for three years.

The mother died again.

This habit of sticking awards can be regarded as broken.

Inside the house, in addition to the awards, there is also a large mirror with a sickle copper basin and a rake,——

Nothing seems to be missing.

Du Yi couldn't help but sigh.

——

In the boundary of Linglong Lake, the exchanges and relationships between the people of the lake have always been simple and traditional.

Pay attention to face is bigger than the sky.

The rules of the ancestors cannot be changed.

Be innocent.

Don't take advantage of others, your own cheapness is the king of heaven, and no one wants to take a cent.

At that time, my own house and Li Dafa's house in the east were moved to the east or west by twenty or thirty centimeters.

It has been 'bar' for more than ten years.

When it comes to repairing the ditch, the two families often have to quarrel bravely.

Du Yi's mother and Li Dafa's mother-in-law jumped and scolded, becoming a rare 'so lively' in the first song, and even the people in the second song had to take a boat to watch the excitement and cheer.

However, when Du Yi's mother died and held the funeral, it was Li Dafa's family who contributed the most money and help.

There is also a pomegranate tree from the witch Li's house to the west, and a thick branch sticks into his yard.

And I won't let you eat it!

When Du Yi's mother was here, she had been planning to cut off this thick branch for many years.

It's just that I'm afraid that witch Lee has mysterious powers, so I didn't finish it in the end.

Thinking of this, Du Yi walked to the door of the hall again.

I saw that the thick branch had not been seen for ten years, and it had grown even more majestic, and the dragon was almost covering one-third of the west courtyard of his house.

It's been thirteen years!

From Du Yi to go to high school in the city outside the mountains, and then to go to college in another country, after graduating from college, it is logical to get up early and be greedy in the city where he graduated.

In the past thirteen years, he has only been admitted to college and has come back once.

The wooden windows of his house were still intact, and the doors were locked, but no one bothered to come and 'smooth' things.

This can't help but make Du Yi sigh.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi!"

Du Yi looked bitter and bitter, and couldn't help but hear the voice of his long-ago mother in his mind.

The courtyard is still there, and there is no more mother's voice calling for children!

Du Yi watched all this with moist eyes, and the distant memories were reawakened little by little.

Tears running again.

——

After looking at it for a while, Du Yi rubbed his red eyes and glanced at his mobile phone, although there was no signal, it could be used as a watch.

It was already 11 o'clock in the afternoon.

As a result, Du Yi felt hungry.

He stood up and prepared to eat some of the biscuits he had bought at his stay in Linglong last night to satisfy his hunger, and then find the big dove that was occupying the magpie's nest and drive it out.

Finally, clean up the hall well, and then think about it in the long run.

"Huh?"

Du Yi stood up suddenly, and the memory of a little white light flashing under the light of the flashlight could not help but pop up in his mind.

"It must be dazzling!"

He muttered to himself, strode back to the east wing, and came to the large purple tree granary in the middle of the room.

You must know that this empty rice warehouse in his house, the bottom plate is also a purple tree, how can it reflect the bright white light?

Turn on the flashlight,

Irradiate the bottom of the warehouse.

A half-moon-shaped piece of jade lay quietly at the bottom of the empty warehouse.

Du Yi leaned over to the jade piece,

Start with a warm and smooth finish.

He picked it up and observed that it was a thin milky white jade the size of a beer cap.

The surface is extremely smooth, with a small perforation at one end.

Du Yi took the flashlight to irradiate it, and the light of the strong flashlight couldn't pass through.

"Who put this in, like jade and not like jade?"

Du Yi looked confused, stroked it for a while, then put it in his pocket and returned to the hall.

Open the canvas bag, take out a large piece of bread, a bottle of mineral water, and prepare to eat.

"Boom~"

At this time, in the grass and bushes outside the courtyard, a small and continuous sound suddenly sounded.

Including the big trees in front of the house outside and behind the house, the chirping of various birds was also completely silent at this moment.

"It's back. ”

Du Yi's heart tightened, and his face changed greatly.

Listening to the voice, it's a big guy.

"That lakeside pier path leads to my door?"

"The python that followed so far!"

Click!

Like a thunderbolt, it exploded in Du Yi's head.

"Why can't my house become the snake nest of that big python?!"

At this moment, Du Yi's sweat exploded, his right hand grasped the short sword, and rushed to the door of the hall like crazy.

Sticking out an eye, he trembled and peeked towards the source of the sound on the east side of the courtyard.

In the grass, vines and shrubs, the body of a giant python with jet-black emerald green patterns that was thicker than Du Yi's thighs was still 'swishing'.

The huge python has arrived under the eaves four meters east of the entrance of the hall house, and is coiling around a carved dragon stone pillar standing under the east eaves, spiraling upward.

"I'm dripping mom!"

Du Yi's face turned pale with horror.

I peeked at the python that was coiling and rising, as if it wanted to stick its head into a ventilated stone hole under the eaves.

In the first second,

Du Yi turned around frantically, and his fat body rushed straight to the west wing.

In the third second,

"Bang dang!"

Du Yi used all his strength to instantly lift the seventy or eighty pounds of elm thick bed board on his mother's bed.

The seventh second,

Du Yi rushed back to the door of the east wing of the hall.

"Zizi~"

The body of the big python had entered the stone house in the east chamber more than two meters through the vent, and saw Du Yi appear at the door of the bedroom holding a large bed board, tilting his head slightly, and spitting snake letters towards Du Yi.

Seeing Du Yi's numbness, he almost cracked his gall.

"Bang dang!"

Du Yi heavily fastened the entire bed board tightly at the empty door of the east wing, and with a sweep of his right leg, he pulled over a nearby chestnut tree bench.

"Boom!"

One end was leaning on the ground, and the other was stuck on the crossbar of the bed.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Du Yi pulled over three benches in a row non-stop, and the bed boards were densely stuck side by side.

And then

Du Yi, who was tired and frightened and almost collapsed, didn't have time to think about it at all.

He rushed out of the hall with his short sword.

He wanted to take advantage of this extremely difficult opportunity to use this sharp short sword to cut off the tail of this python.

Kill in one fell swoop!
