Horizontal branch 1 - white python

Wei Ergou, Wei Yiyun, Donai and the four black workers dug pits in this open land like digging traps; Ariga and I sat under the tree and chatted about Arriga's clothing profession.

In a short time, I looked out into the open and was empty, and I was wondering what to do, Eriga told me that they were digging the pit very fast, and they were already in the pit, and they were no longer visible in our direction. Erijia and I walked in small steps to the pit closest to us, which was dug by Donai and Houjun, it had just rained, the soil was relatively soft, and they dug very quickly, because the two shovels were at Wei Ergou and Wei Yiyun, the two black men used the digging tools they brought, which was a bit like our shovel for stir-frying, with a short handle and a wide shovel. We walked to the pit of the second dog in the middle, Wei Yiyun was already panting in the pit, standing in the pit and looking at Wei Ergou, useless is a scholar! Wei Ergou buried his head in shoveling soil alone, let the pit be thrown out, and he had already dug a meter and a half deep. The soil of Ghana is red clay mixed with loess, the red clay is relatively hard, if you have seen the tennis clay match, you will be more clear about this, if it has not just rained, it is estimated that the digging will be very slow; In addition, because the clay is very sticky, the pit wall is also very strong and will not collapse, I remember when I was a child, I stole sweet potatoes to dig a pit and roast need to dig a pit, digging the pit often the soil of the pit wall slipped down to destroy the pit, Ghana's special soil quality and just had rain and water made the progress of digging the pit particularly fast.

Wei Ergou looked up and saw me coming, smiled and stretched out the shovel to signal me to try, I changed positions with Wei Ergou, I learned from what I saw in film and television works, spit on my hand, and then dug down with a shovel, I'll go! I just saw the black man and Wei Ergou digging easily, and I couldn't pull it out even if I shoveled it down!

"Hahahaha, Xiaosheng, you have become a three-hair!" Wei Yiyun was lighting a cigarette for Wei Ergou, and when he saw me mocking and sarcassing me like this, I knew what he meant in the movie "Sanmao Wanderings" in which Sanmao joined the army to dig trenches and couldn't dig up, just like I am now, one word "embarrassment"!

"Xiaosheng, it is said that scholars are powerless, but you are too exaggerated!" Wei Ergou also took a puff of cigarette and laughed at me.

Although Erica didn't understand what he meant, she knew that she was laughing at me, and encouraged me to say, "Just step on the edge of the shovel with your foot, and then press down on the wooden handle and shake it." ”

I listened to Wei Ergou and Wei Yiyun's words, I was embarrassed, the man couldn't even dig the soil, and silently thanked Erica in my heart, according to his method, I shook it vigorously, pulled out a shovel, and sprinkled soil outside the pit, deliberately spreading Wei Yiyun's direction, Wei Yiyun dodged.

"Damn, you kid still holds grudges! It's the same as in the game! Wei Yiyun jumped outside the pit and complained to me.

"My little student, are you golden!" Wei Ergou jumped next to me, squatted down to pick up the small pit I had just dug, I stretched out my head to look, there was a gray layer of soil, I didn't understand what Wei Ergou was fussing about. I saw Wei Ergou playing with the dust with both hands, playing back and forth for about ten minutes, then stood up and said, "Let's go, there is no gold in this pit, let's go and see something else." ”

Wei Yiyun pulled me and Wei Ergou out of the pit, the three of us walked to the pit in Donei, Wei Ergou went down to the pit and said the same thing for more than ten minutes, and we looked at all five pits in turn.

"Let's go back, let's go back to Dongkua today, the gold content in this area is not much, let's go back to find other mountainous areas, if we can't find a better one to come to this mountainous area again, the soil layer here is relatively thick and the content is low, the mining cost is very high, and it rains from time to time, and it is very difficult to mine." Wei Ergou looked at me and said, and asked me to translate it to Arija.

When I left the mine, Wei Ergou couldn't see a big white python lying on the shore, I saw with my own eyes that the snake was as thick as my arm, Wei Ergou said "Dinner delicious", he chased after him alone, we followed, the white python got into a tree hole, the tree is not very big, but it is several trees conjoined, so the tree hole is also connected like a corridor. Erica persuaded Wei Ergou not to go in, Bai Ying once told me that the people of Ghana do not eat snake meat, and they are very afraid and fearful of snakes, which is related to the Christian Bible, in the Hebrew Bible, the snake is the object of curse, because the fallen angel Satan conspired with the most intelligent animal at that time - the snake to deceive the first human ancestors, Satan used the snake and then abandoned the snake, and the snake was punished for falling into the company of Satan and became the ugly appearance it is today; The more common story is that the serpent deceived Adam and Eve into stealing the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.

"Pythons are not venomous, afraid of anything! This wild python is very delicious! Wei Ergou couldn't listen to his opinion, he climbed into the tree hole on his stomach, leaving only his butt and feet outside.

Wei Yiyun also smiled and said to me, "Don't worry, when I was a child, our Guangxi children liked to catch snakes and eat them!" The second dog is a good hand! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard Wei Ergou screaming, "Ah! He quickly exited the hollow of the tree, pressing his left hand tightly with his right hand, and saw that his left wrist was bleeding continuously. Wei Yiyun hurriedly went over to check, the second dog was sweating, and said, "Your uncle's was bitten by him!" Forget it. ”

But the four blackmen and Donai were frightened, and they all knelt down, kowtowed like the hole in the tree, and then got up and pulled us away. "This is a custom in the mountains, the serpent is the embodiment of the demon Satan, and if he bites it, he will be cursed, and others will kowtow and beg the devil for forgiveness." ”

"! That Lao Tzu has eaten more demons, more monsters than Sun Wukong has killed! "Wei Ergou was pulled, and he was so impatient to listen to what I said in translating what Erica said.

Because Erijia was bitten very badly, Erijia wrapped a white cloth around the wound, and it was clearly seen that there were two small holes on the front and back of the two dogs' wrists at the wound. Although he has a hard mouth, you can see that the sweat on his head and the clenching of his teeth can be seen to be very painful!

As soon as we walked to the tent, Wei Ergou said that he would walk to the tent if he wanted to rest, and before he reached the tent, he heard a loud noise, and the second dog fainted before he reached the tent, and fell on the edge of the tent and overwhelmed the tent.

This scene was scared to death by us, I was scared stupid, stay there, Wei Yiyun and Donai hurriedly went over to help him up, Erica touched his head, and probed his nose and breath. "WE NEED TO GET DOG TO THE HOSPITAL QUICKLY, HE'S WEAK!"

The four black workers were also frightened to death, and fell to their knees and kowtowed three more times to the overwhelmed tent. We gave up dismantling the tent and went straight to the pickup. The four black workers took turns carrying Wei Ercanu, and Wei Yiyun probed his mouth and nose from time to time, and no one spoke in this atmosphere, basically everyone trotted all the way to the pickup.
