Chapter 45: Catching the Scorpion I
After cutting a few more, a blood blister burst all at once, and the pain in the heart made the tree can't help but stop
At this time, half of it was because of pain, half because of tiredness, she was sweating profusely, she couldn't help but sit down, just wanted to enter the space, wash her hands with hot spring water, so that the broken bubble could get better sooner, and she could continue.
It was here that she suddenly heard a rustling sound. This made her a little nervous.
The rustling sound seemed not far from where she was, and she stood up, but she was small, not tall, and there were too many gray strips and weeds on the side, and she couldn't see how far away the rustling place was.
She couldn't help but walk gently in the direction of the rustle, wanting to find out, she didn't know if there was a person not far from her, maybe there were people who came here to venture like her.
In order to be afraid of making a sound, the barley adopts climbing, getting closer to the sound little by little, and the sound in front is getting louder and louder.
It was as if something was writhing on the grass. Moreover, the movement of that thing slowly grew larger. It's not a rustling sound, it's a fluttering sound.
Listening to the sound, it looks like two people are fighting.
She couldn't help but speed up her crawling, and when she looked through the gap, she was immediately frightened and didn't dare to move
It turned out that less than three meters in front of her, a large white snake was molting. The barley has never seen a white snake, and this snake is two meters long, and the thickness is about the same as an adult's wrist, the reason why this big white snake keeps twisting around, to not because, it is shedding its skin, the snake shedding its skin, usually can be slowly and quietly taken off, the reason why it moves so intensely is because of its left and right, there are two, looking like a mouse, gray hair, but much larger than a mouse, and a big cat about the same size of the animal, is constantly attacking it with its mouth and claws, It is said that the snake with its skin is the most vulnerable, and at this time, its body is covered with blood several times, as if it has no resistance.
It seems that it won't be long before this snake will become a meal for these two big rats.
Xu is because this snake is a white snake, which makes Qing Barley can't help but think of the white lady in the legend of the white snake, the white lady who has cultivated into a fine spirit, so that she can't help but pity the snake, maybe it is a subconscious, she picked up the stone on her right hand and threw it hard at one of the two big rats.
The two guys immediately gave up attacking the white snake in a daze, and looked in the direction of the barley.
Even if it wasn't a wolf, and the two guys didn't look big, the barley wasn't so afraid, so she bent down and kept throwing stones, and within two strokes, she beat away the two animals that she thought were big rats.
The snake, but lying there motionless, was bold, and moved forward again, "Bai Niangniang, are you okay, I am your savior, don't you eat me"
Slowly walked in front of the white snake, at this time the white snake couldn't help but be dying, barley couldn't help but feel pity for the snake inexplicably, she at the same time, also do, not good to enter the baby's preparation, from the baby to get some water, for this guy, washed the bitten body, the white snake seems to be very docile as if through human nature, the courage of the tree can't help but get bigger, with a tile to fill the space, she thinks that the spiritual water that can heal the injury, placed not far from the snake's head.
"White Lady, I'm leaving, take care of yourself, you have to protect yourself" And the white snake, as if he understood what the barley said, after drinking the water in the tiles, broke free of the snakeskin, glanced in the direction of the barley, nodded three times, and then got into the pile of rubbles not far away.
The tree continued to cut the gray strips, cut fifty or sixty roots, enough, and picked up some of the previous wooden roots, and then walked to the mountain, while walking, while looking for the old grass, the old grass, to the point that I didn't find it, but I saw the mountains full of firewood, cat father and other medicinal materials, this firewood, more than three yuan a catty, cat father also four or five yuan, moreover, she also saw a small ginseng, it carefully used a sickle, the little ginseng was moved to the space. There are a lot of snakes on the mountain, this snake is also a traditional Chinese medicine firewood, and it is more expensive than Bupleurum, and look around, when going down the mountain, the snake of the white snake is taken off, and it is also thrown into the space. Although it was a pity that she didn't find the old grass, she picked up two litters of wild eggs, a nest of wild duck eggs, two rabbits, and a wild duck, and a lot of wood, and the harvest was good.
Looking at the sun going down and the dark clouds rolling, she hurried home, and halfway through, the light rain began to fall, and she couldn't help but take a Miyoko in the space, and the two corners were together, and it became a simple raincoat and ran home.
Finally, before the rain fell, I saw the door of my house from a distance, and before I reached the empty door, I saw Lu Xiaohong, who kept looking, and when I saw the barley, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
Millet and wheat, also from the window, saw the barley, saw the green class, carrying a basket in their hands, this basket, of course, is from the treasure, the mother always used for the egg harvest and egg sales.
Lu Xiaohong took the basket of barley and scolded distressedly: "Broken child, it's raining, I don't know where I'm coming from, so my mother is worried and happy."
"Mom, at night, scramble eggs for my sisters, I picked up more than 20 eggs and seven or eight duck eggs today." Qing Barley smiled and said
"Okay, well, hurry up and go into the house, take off your wet clothes, wash them with hot water first, drink some ginger water, and warm up in the bed"
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm in good health" The two of them entered the house as they spoke.
Wang Dazhi was burning the fire, the outhouse was full of fog, as soon as the barley entered the house, he felt very warm, Lu Xiaohong immediately took the eggs to the house and put them on the kang, and when Maizi saw the eggs, his eyes immediately lit up, "Second sister, where did you come from, can my mother eat it?" ”
Lu Xiaohong said with a smile while helping Qingli undress: "Little gluttonous cat, this is what your second sister picked up in Sangou, of course you can eat it, and my mother will make scrambled eggs with shallots for you at night."
Wang Dazhi brought the hot water basin into the house, and the barley immediately sat down. At this end, Lu Xiaohong put the quilt on the kang head, wiped it on her body and put it in the quilt, and then brought a bowl of ginger foam water, and felt warm after drinking it.
The scrambled eggs made at night, Lu Xiaohong, scrambled eight at once. Two plates, there is an unknown rule in the countryside, that is, the eggs that have been picked up cannot be sold, so they have to be eaten. If you pick up less, it will be whoever picks it up and eats it. This is God's gift to those who pick it up.
"Barley, when I went to pick up millet today, I saw Brother Hongjun and caught a lot of big green covers, this big green cover, there are many and a half big ones, let's catch them tomorrow, I have ready the stove hooks and bottles" Gu Zi said excitedly.
