Chapter 3: The Battle of the Man and the Snake
In the early morning of early July in the mountains, the fog was very large, and Guoguo carried a basket on his back and walked happily on the mountain path. Qingshu walked behind with a firewood knife and looked at her with some distress, Guoguo had been detained for two months!
Guoguo had already been arguing for a long time, but Liang had been worried that the new skin on her body had not grown well, in fact, Guoguo was also worried, so she patiently cultivated for another month. In the past two months, Fang Yuqian made several small back baskets and small fish baskets for her in order to coax Guoguo, and Qingshu also took the fish basket to catch a lot of small fish and shrimp back. But Guoguo didn't dare to get the fishy smell, she dried the small shrimp, and put a little in it to season when cooking, and everyone actually said it was good.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, now, she wants to go into the mountains to see what to eat. Just do what she said, say hello to Fang Yuqian, this time, she really went out with a small basket on her back.
Qingshu was about to go up the mountain to chop wood, and the two went out together. Fortunately, with a glove on his right hand, he couldn't see the scar at all, and his face was not broken, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to go out. But although Qingshu knew very well in her heart, Guoguo had scars on her legs, and those ugly scars might have to follow her for a lifetime. As soon as he thought of this, Qingshu felt a pain in his heart.
Along the way, I didn't see anything special. I saw a few large thistles with flower buds. The thistle is a good medicine. The large thistle has many spines on its body and is not easy to back. Guoguo thought for a while, cut all the thistles, and then spread them out on the side of the road and dried them on the spot. There shouldn't be many people who know this thing, and this mountain is behind their home, and few people come to this part of the road. Take it when you come back.
"What are you cutting this thing for?" Qingshu thought at first that she thought the purple flowers were good-looking, but looking at her like this, it didn't look like **.
"This is a medicine, so I don't know if the pharmacy will accept it." Guoguo smiled at him, "You forgot? I said it in those miscellaneous books! This one is called a large thistle. â
Aoki touched his head and sighed. Guoguo likes to read miscellaneous books, he doesn't like them, so although he took back many books, he really didn't know that there were these!
"I'm chopping wood right here, take a look around here, don't go far." Aoki confessed like an older brother.
Guoguo answered and walked around the neighborhood for a while. I picked a lot of yellow-brown cockroaches on the branches, and I don't know if the pharmacy will accept this thing, so let's keep it for now. In order to prevent it from getting wet with dew, Guoguo also specially found a wide dry leaf to wrap these crickets.
Guoguo said to Qingshu and walked into the mountains. But there wasn't even a single straw mushroom. Alas, it's no wonder that it hasn't rained for a month, and lately everyone has been getting anxious, and the wheat that has just been planted is not good if it is not watered.
Suddenly, a large field of honeysuckle that was about to bloom appeared in front of the fruit, and the buds were still stained with dew, quietly erected on the green leaves, peaceful and quiet. Guoguo couldn't help but exclaim. Honeysuckle can also be used as medicine. The green and white ones will bloom and the large buds without dew are of the best quality. Guoguo looked carefully at the green leaves and the dew on the buds, and knew that it would take another half an hour for the dew to dry, so she decided to go inside again and come back to pick it later.
Although Guoguo graduated from the Department of Chinese, her girlfriend studied Chinese medicine, so she also knows some shallow herbal knowledge.
Walking along the looming path, Guoguo found that there were many pine trees in the mountains, and the more he went, the denser and bigger the pine trees became.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound ahead. For some reason, Guoguo's hairs stood up, and after careful calculation, she had only walked five miles at most, which was not far, right? There shouldn't be anything special, right?
She slowed her steps and walked towards the place of birth, but the rustle of her feet on the dead leaves seemed so scary at the moment. The tall pine tree covered the sky, and only the slightest light poured down, and Guoguo suddenly felt that the dew next to him had become cold, and the shoes and trouser cuffs that had been wet with the dew were sticky at the moment.
The sound was strange, like a fight, like a human breath, like some kind of tearing, vague and inaudible, but always unsettling.
Suddenly, the grass in front of him was shortened, and a rare figure of human snake fighting was displayed in front of Guoguo. An arm-thick python coiled around a strong man, circle after circle, encircling his thighs and body, tightly wrapping around. A small tail wagged incessantly. The man's hands pinched the head of the python, judging from the tense tendons on his hands and the bruised look on his face, there was a momentum of a fish dying and the net was broken. It's just that his eyes are too sharp, and he pants violently, and keeps rolling on the ground and crashing into the big tree. One man and one snake were stained with blood, and it was not known who was injured.
Snake?! Snake oil?!
Suddenly, Guoguofu, who was originally stunned, felt that snake oil was a healing product for burns! She put down the basket and grabbed the small shovel in her hand fiercely, relaxed and clenched, and so on several times before she strode forward, but her trembling legs betrayed her mood at the moment, she was afraid of snakes.
"Can you push the head of the snake to the ground? I hit it with a shovel. She steadied herself and spoke calmly.
But the face of the man encircled by the snake was already blue, his eyes were wide, his breathing was short, and he seemed to be unable to listen to what she said.
The python realized that someone was approaching and contracted its torso even harder. Guoguo seemed to hear its curling sound, she swallowed, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she slashed at the swaying snake's tail.
I tried to swing the shovel, but I didn't hit it, but let the shovel plunge into the dirt, and I was also mixed by the man's legs, and pounced directly on the man and the snake.
The cold and slippery touch made Guoguo's composure broken, she screamed, and then rolled over to the shovel, picked up the shovel and slashed at the man. Anyway, the snake was so tightly wound that it wouldn't hurt him.
She slashed a little frantically, and crimson blood splattered out. After a while, the serpent did not move, and the man did not move. Guoguo held the shovel and gasped a little, and turned around a little stiffly to look at the man in a daze.
His face was also covered in blood, and he let go of the snake's head, and just lay on the ground panting violently, and most of the snake's body was padded under him.
After a while, Guoguo came back to his senses. The man wiped his face with his hand, and Guoguo realized that his face was still blue and purple, which was not normal.
"Hey, are you alright?" Guoguo asked tentatively.
The man looked at Guoguo heavily, didn't speak, didn't shake his head and nodded.
Guoguo frowned and shaved the snake with a shovel, but the snake was too long and wrapped so tightly that she couldn't pull it open with her hands.
"Can you get up yourself?" Guoguo is a little anxious, this person can't move, right?
It is estimated that he saw that Guoguo was anxious, and reached out to tear the snake off his body, but he couldn't stop pulling it.
"You turn over, I'll pull it over." Guoguo is not afraid now.
The man turned sideways when he heard this, Guoguo pinched the snake's head at first, but he couldn't pinch it steadily, so he had to close his eyes and grab it, walked behind the man, and pulled it, and a large section of the snake's body came out, and it was untied in a circle. It took a few repetitions to get rid of all the snakes that were wrapped around the man's body.
It was only at this time that Guoguo found out that there was a wound on his arm, which looked like it had been scraped by something, and the blood was still flowing.
Guoguo looked up and looked around, picked a few herbs and stuffed them in his mouth and chewed them. Only then did she realize that she actually knew how to do simple medicine, why didn't she realize it for two months?! Fang Yuqian's leg, why didn't he think about showing it to him? Alas! When it comes to my own body, I am so confused!
The bitter taste greatly stimulated the taste buds and produced a large amount of fluid, so when the fruit was spit out and pressed directly against the man's wound, the man frowned visibly. But Guoguo didn't even look at him, this person's cold aura is obviously not used to talking to people.
Holding down the chewed crushed cyan herb, she tore off his sleeve and bandaged it directly. In the busyness, she faced him with some disgusted expression, and her tone was not very good: "Saliva has a disinfectant effect, and it is not good for your wound to be infected." â
Guoguo said, the movement of his hand paused, and he looked up to look at the person's face carefully. The lines are stiff, the nose bridge is high, the eyebrows are thick and the eyes are big, and it is very stylish. But why is there a scar on his face? I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I see that the scar on the right side of my face actually came out with the flesh turned out, although it was good, it was pink. He was dark-skinned, so the scar was even more prominent, strange and terrifying.
Perhaps Guoguo's gaze was too hot, and the man raised his hand, knocked off the strip of cloth that Guoguo had not yet tied, and also shook off the herbs that Guoguo had put on it.
"You!" Guoguo wanted to get angry, but she didn't know what to say.
Who would have thought that the man would just glance at the wound that was bleeding again, and then fiddle with the snake on the ground, grab it with both hands and drag it away.
"Hey, hey, it's my snake!" Guoguo is in a hurry, her snake oil!
She stretched out her hand to stop in front of the man, and when she looked up, she sadly realized that she was actually worthy of someone's chest, so she didn't have a sense of zĂ i!
The man stood still, and did not speak. The snake on his hand and the blood on his body made his aura even colder.
"Well, I said, I just saved you, right? There is no need to promise this life-saving grace, just give me back the snake I slew. â
At this time, Qingshu's somewhat anxious voice came from a distance: "Guoguo, Guoguo." â
Guoguo's eyes instantly brightened again, and the man obviously heard Qingshu's shout, but he still looked at Guoguo and didn't speak.
"You're not going to be dumb, are you?" Not only why, Guoguo was actually not afraid of him, "That, in fact, I just want snake oil, otherwise, you can peel the snake now and give me the layer of grease in the snake's belly." â
Qingshu's voice was closer, and Guoguo became even bolder: "Qingshu, this way!" â
"My brother is here, he has a knife, will you peel the snake?"
Listening to Guoguo's excited voice, his brows furrowed, such a delicate little girl, how could she not know that she was afraid?
"Hey, you're so dumb?!" Guoguo was disappointed, she wanted to catch the snake on her body, but she was afraid of its slippery coldness, so she looked in the direction of Qingshu, why hasn't Qingshu come yet!
The man's brow furrowed again, and he turned around and left!
Guoguo immediately stepped forward to pull his clothes: "Eh, you give me snake oil!" Green Tree, Green Tree, Come On! â
