The next morning before five o'clock, Zhan Yiyang got up from bed, Xu Rongrong didn't sleep early at night, Zhan Yiyang was too quiet all night, Xu Rongrong was a little unsure for a while. _ Ya_文吧 _ ···.· ｙ`ａ-`

Secretly, Xu Rongrong also scolded himself, when people want you, you struggle desperately, and when people ignore you, you start to get used to it again, this is not a crime......

All in all, Xu Rongrong slept late and rolled into Zhan Yiyang's arms in the morning.

At this time, Zhan Yiyang was a little troublesome, but he still didn't alarm Xu Rongrong very lightly, got out of bed, put on his clothes and went outside.

When he went out, Zhan Yiyang saw Shen Lao in the courtyard fiddling with this thing.

Zhan Yiyang didn't expect that Shen Laodu would be able to weave such a strange thing at such an old age.

This thing looks like a basket for fish, but if you look closely, it is a little different, there is no lid on the basket, and there is a lid on this one.

Walking over, Zhan Yiyang paused, picked up the things and looked at them.

There is an ear on the side, and the ear is empty, and the rope that can be threaded through it is a certain amount of width.

Zhan Yiyang was holding one in his hand, and Shen Lao was still weaving one in his hand.

Shen Lao was wearing a white haunt, and Shen Lao's haunt was already a little sweaty at this time, but Zhan Yiyang didn't bother, but looked at what looked like a crutch on the ground.

There's also something that looks like a fork, but that thing has a small head.

Zhan Yiyang looked at it for a while, and Shen Lao's basket was also tightly knitted.

"Let's go." After Shen Lao finished speaking, the two baskets put on two hemp ropes, which seemed to be simple hemp ropes, but they were very tenacious.

Zhan Yiyang tried to break it with his hand, but he couldn't break it.

Hearing Shen Lao's words, Zhan Yiyang raised his head to look at Shen Lao, and his faint eyes were a touch of strange surprise.

"Don't have to eat?" Zhan Yiyang's body is nothing, recently Xu Rongrong has given him nourishment, which is more effective than taking medicine, just like Shen Lao said, his illness comes from weakness, if he is in the right mood, it is completely possible to take care of it, this Zhan Yiyang believes now. Yawen_8 _ ·· `．-ｙ=ａ·-ｅ=ｎ·８`．-ｃ-ｏ·ｍ

Zhan Yiyang even thought that if Xu Rongrong's life could not be saved, maybe he would die soon.

"I won't eat it." Shen Lao walked as he walked, holding the thing that looked like a crutch in his hand, Zhan Yiyang looked at it and picked up the fork casually.

The two men went out and tied the basket to their waists as they went.

Shen Lao said: "There are not many snakes on this mountain, but it is not difficult to catch two five-step snakes, but no one has really caught them, and they have no courage and patience." ”

"What did you do in the old days, and why do you know so much about them?" Zhan Yiyang was curious, and asked as he walked.

Shen Lao smiled, took two steamed buns from his body, gave one to Zhan Yiyang, kept one for himself, and took a bite of his own.

"When I was a child, I lived at the foot of the mountain, I stayed here when I grew up, the mountains here have my footprints all my life, I planted most of the trees here, I don't have too many hobbies in my life, one is wine, the other is to go up the mountain.

I am old, my children are gone, they are all ahead of me, and a fire kills them, leaving only me, an old immortal.

If I hadn't been so persistent and had to defend this mountain to death, I wouldn't have ended up where I am today.

Hmph, those people thought I'd let them go, but they all died on the mountain.

You know why? ”

Shen Lao looked at Zhan Yiyang with a smile, Zhan Yiyang looked silently, not knowing that there were so many stories in it.

"Presumably, the snakes on this mountain are too venomous, they came, but they couldn't get by."

I think so.

Shen Lao smiled hehehe: "You are really smart." ”

"But this is human life, so you don't think you've done something wrong?" Zhan Yiyang is a soldier, and those who have been soldiers know that human lives are not allowed to be taken casually, no matter how much hatred you have with this person, you must use the normal means of the law to solve this matter, it is impossible to exceed the law, it is not allowed. _Yavin_Bar ·--.'y-a·'

Shen Lao smiled: "You are wrong, they are not people, they are born, if you see my wife and children all dead in the fire, burning with hideous faces, you will understand that the most terrifying thing in this world is not a monster and elf, nor a poisonous snake and beast, but those demons who are dressed in human skin."

I don't kill them, I let them get lost in this mountain, so that they can't get out of it even if they die.

They want this mountain, I give it to them, so what, what in the end?

They're going to stay here forever, and they're finally getting what they want. ”

After some conversation, Zhan Yiyang finally knew why Shen Lao had a soft spot for this place, and he refused to leave here even if he died.

In the past, Zhan Yiyang would have been jealous and hateful, but now he felt that everything was not worth it.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhan Yiyang looked at the dense grass on the mountain, where there is a lot of grass, there must be many snakes, no wonder they will die.

Zhan Yiyang lowered his head and began to eat the steamed bun in his hand, after eating, he looked at Shen Lao, the two of them made preparations, and Shen Lao began to explain: "You remember, you have to find a herb with white flowers, this flower can solve the snake venom of the five-step snake, whether it can be confiscated depends on it."

But there are often five-step snakes near this flower, and I will watch you when you go to pick flowers, and catch the snake by the way, but you also have to be careful.

The five-step snake bites you, and if we don't have an antidote, you'll soon die.

Zhan Yiyang nodded, followed Shen Lao towards the mountain, and stepped into the grass.

As soon as he entered, Xu Rongrong's phone called, and Zhan Yiyang answered the phone.

"Where have you been?" Xu Rongrong didn't get up until seven o'clock, and he didn't see anyone and started calling Zhan Yiyang.

"Shen Lao and I went up the mountain to look for herbs, you cook at home, and we will go back soon."

"What kind of herbs are you looking for, can't you eat?"

"Nope."

Xu Rongrong: ......

Zhan Yiyang then hung up the phone and followed Shen Lao all the way to observe.

"Five-step snakes generally like to be in a cool and damp place, there are the kind of herbs with white flowers nearby, you have to remember that the stick in your hand should be in front of you to slide the grass over and over again to avoid being bitten by the five-step snake."

Shen Lao repeated it over and over again, and the two of them went up the mountain all the way.

Halfway through, there were fewer and fewer weeds, and some dwarf trees and unknown herbs began to appear on the mountain.

When Shen Lao passed by along the way, he would chew some herbs and eat them, Zhan Yiyang had never eaten them, but when he saw Shen Lao eating them, he would eat them along.

"These medicines can strengthen the body, although longevity is not of much use, but it will definitely not be eaten in vain, when you come, just eat steamed buns, you can quench your thirst."

Zhan Yiyang was slightly stunned, the bitter taste was still in his mouth, and it was the first time he had encountered such a thirst-quenching one.

After walking for a while, the two of them finally appeared in the shadow of the snake, which made the two of them overjoyed.

"Don't let him run." Shen Lao was extremely excited, he didn't look like an old man at all, but more like a man in his prime, happily doing something.

Zhan Yiyang nodded, his dark eyes were complicated, in fact, Zhan Yiyang has been trained in the wild, these are actually pediatrics, and he has also experienced catching snakes in the wild, at that time, there was no food to eat, so he could only look for game everywhere, and snakes naturally became one of them.

It's just that Zhan Yiyang has never had a good impression of a creature like a snake, and subconsciously still doesn't want to touch it.

For Xu Rongrong, he could only come up.

Zhan Yiyang stood still and didn't move, looking left and right, he was looking for the kind of white flower that Shen Lao said, but it really found it for him.

It's just that the five-step snake is like a flower messenger clinging to Zhan Yiyang's feet, blocking Zhan Yiyang's footsteps, and Zhan Yiyang stands there without moving, avoiding being bitten by the snake.

Shen Lao glanced at it, bent down to take the cane-like thing in his hand upside down, bent down and pressed the end with the hook on the snake's body, and the snake quickly spit out a letter towards Shen Lao.

"Don't go yet, what are you waiting for?" Shen Lao said that Zhan Yiyang immediately went over to pick the flowers, uprooting the whole tree, and then turned to look around, and looked at Shen Lao's side.

Shen Lao smiled, the snake had already swam away on his hook, but no matter what, the snake had already gone when he met Shen Lao, and soon Shen Lao called Zhan Yiyang over.

"Give me that fork."

Zhan Yiyang gave the fork to Shen Lao, Shen Lao pressed the snake's head to the ground, squatted down and pinched the snake's head, and then tightened his basket, the lid was immediately closed, and a few hemp ropes on the side were tied to it.

A snake in the bag.

Zhan Yiyang glanced down, he still had a basket, that is, he still had one.

Shen Lao didn't say anything, and gave a piece of cloth to Zhan Yiyang: "Wrap the root, you can't let it die for the time being." ”

Zhan Yiyang immediately wrapped the root of the flower, followed by holding the flower in one hand and sweeping around the ground with the fork in the other hand until he found the second snake.

For ordinary people, catching snakes is a difficult thing, but for people like Shen Lao, who have been through a hundred battles and have dealt with people in the mountains all their lives, catching snakes is not difficult at all.

Zhan Yiyang even felt that if it weren't for Shen Lao's old age, maybe he would have been redundant this time.

It was almost noon when I caught the second snake, and it was not easy to come up and go down.

The physical strength of the two people is obviously not good, Shen Lao is old, and Zhan Yiyang is riddled with old diseases, it is obvious that the two of them are not suitable for people who have been in love in the mountains for a long time.

For this reason, when going down the mountain, the two of them found a safe place to rest.

The breath was broken for ten minutes, just to catch his breath.

Shen Lao means that it is not safe on the mountain, and if the snakes all come out, it will be troublesome, especially when it is dark, so they must go down before dark.

Listening to Shen Lao's words, Zhan Yiyang nodded, and the descent from the mountain was much faster.

When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Shen Lao couldn't walk, Zhan Yiyang helped the old man, and it was already ten o'clock when the two returned home.

Xu Rongrong was worried, he stood at the door and waited for the two of them to come back, but as soon as they met, he pounced, no matter whether Zhan Yiyang was tired or not, he suddenly cried.
