"Big Black, come back." He Kun was frightened along the way, but the big black around him was a lot of noise, running into the grass from time to time to tease grasshoppers, dragonflies, butterflies and other small creatures, even a cauliflower snake that had just come out of the hole did not let go, ran to him, and plucked it with his feet, which was really bold.

"Do you hear me, come back to me." He Kun really had a headache at this time, fortunately this is a cauliflower snake, what if he is bitten by a poisonous snake? The old man in the family regards Da Hei as his second grandson, and the baby is tight.

Looking at Da Hei, who was messing around like a wild horse, He Kun had to shout in a stern tone.

After cleaning up the big black, I finally let this honest guy walk back to the right path. He Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief, there are many beasts in the mountains, and he is not afraid of having space, but for Da Hei, it is fatal.

Cauliflower snakes, also known as vegetable pythons, generally grow to more than ten catties and feed on small animals in the mountains.

For example, mountain rats, squirrels, pheasants, etc. There is no poisonous surname, just relying on physical strength, rolling up the prey and strangling it alive and then devouring it.

In the past, some families would also keep it and use it to catch rats in the house, so some people called it a house snake.

Usually the vegetable python is very docile, lazy, full, basking in the sun, snakes are cold-blooded animals, after the sting, hibernation wakes up, the most like the noon sun.

There is a vegetable word in front of the cauliflower snake, the meaning is self-evident, this snake tastes very good, it is big, and the people in the mountains love to eat.

The one in front of me doesn't look small, and it should be good to hold the tooth beating.

He Kun was thinking so in his heart at this time, in recent years, people in the city have loved to eat game, especially what weird they like to eat, after the mountain people caught it, they basically sold it to the restaurants under the mountain, which is a lot of income!

However, the snake in the back of the mountains, the people in the village did not dare to catch, for fear of provoking the snake king, so they searched for it in several nearby mountains, because the price was good, the snake here was quickly swept away, as for the vegetable python was almost caught extinct, today He Kun can meet a vegetable python is also luck.

In order to prevent the big black from making trouble, put it into the space, and he held a firewood knife and approached cautiously.

It's a pity that He Kun forgot, no matter how docile the snake is, it is also called a snake, sleep well, and be picked up by someone, the mood is definitely not much better, carelessly, He Kun was depressed, the horse lost its front hooves, his hands were suddenly entangled, and he held the snake's head with a tangled face, and the two sides kept fighting.

If it weren't for the fact that the dead snake was not easy to peel, He Kun couldn't wait to pinch it to death, and after fiddling with it for a while, there was still no way, this vegetable python was not small, and he followed He Kun harder, and he couldn't move away, so he couldn't take this snake to worship God. There was no choice but to think of a way forward in the space.

"Sizzle." As soon as he entered the space, before He Kun could come up with a way, the vegetable python that was entangled with He Kun, spitting out snake letters, slowly let go, as if he had found something good, and his body was very powerful, and he wanted to break free of He Kun's hands.

He Kun looked curious, not knowing what the snake wanted to do, he put the snake on the ground and slightly released the snake's head.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the snake "swished" and sprang out, as if the energy stored in a winter was waiting for this explosion.

He Kun didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly followed, and when he walked to the front, he was stunned to find that the snake actually ran to the spring and drank the spring water with a gurgling heart.

Breathing a deep sigh of relief, He Kun was a little relieved, it seems that nothing can resist the temptation of the spring, but this guy is really powerful, as soon as he came to smell the breath of this spring, he is worthy of being a creature with a developed sense of smell.

"Wang, Wang, Wang." A dog barking drew He Kun over.

Seeing the big black next to him barking very dissatisfied, he was still a little resentful when he was just thrown in by He Kun, but then he smelled the smell of spring water! was drinking happily, but unexpectedly was squeezed out of place by this little snake. I was very angry and shouted, if He Kun wasn't on the side, I was afraid that I would have killed the killer!

The vegetable python was leisurely, ignoring Dahei's warnings, and drinking spring water by himself.

"Hehe, you." He Kun squatted down, rubbed the big black that would be stimulated into internal injuries, coaxed for a long time, and then obediently went to another location to drink spring water.

Seeing the painful little snake in a ball, He Kun was a little soft-hearted, and glared at Da Hei fiercely, this is too careful, but after all, he has known him for an old time, and he didn't say anything.

stepped forward and rubbed it with pity, as if feeling the warmth in He Kun's hands, the snake body that was originally a little tangled slowly relaxed, and the snake head gently rubbed He Kun's palm, looking like he was enjoying it greatly.

Looking at the vegetable python with the surname in the palm, he no longer wanted to eat it, put the vegetable python down, shook his head helplessly, walked to the big black side and scolded him, and then left the space with the big black who was still screaming.

Maybe he was scolded and scared by He Kun, Da Hei became a lot more honest, and he was calm and quiet along the way, and one person and one dog soon walked to the Land Temple.

It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is just a small bluestone brick house.

Looking a little old, the grass in front of the door is messy, it seems that no one has come here to clean it up for several years, He Kun put down the bag in his hand, took out the firewood knife, and cleaned up the grass at the entrance of the temple very quickly.

After all, if you come to worship God, if you don't look at the wild grass at the door, this piety is very problematic.

After working for a while, He Kun took out the offerings that belonged to the father-in-law of the land, and put all the rest into the space, otherwise if he didn't bring it in, it would be a great disrespect, and the gods would blame him.

The land father-in-law is also regarded as the god of wealth and fortune in the folk, because the folk believe that "there is soil and wealth", so the land father-in-law is also worshiped as the guardian god by the merchants, and it is said that he can also make the five grains harvest, and the magic power is very large.

In fact, these are just reasons for the toiling people to comfort themselves, and it is always good to have a spiritual sustenance in the years when they are not full.

He Kun took out incense paper and other offerings and divided them into two parts, one for the land grandfather and one for the land mother-in-law.

Don't look at people who always say that the land mother-in-law is not, that she is an evil woman. But when I put incense and burned paper, I still didn't dare to slack off, and I always had to bring a copy.

It's not that I'd rather offend the gentleman, don't provoke the villain, the two of you, just blow the pillow wind and have more incense than you, no matter how much paper you burn, it's useless!

Offering incense, burning paper, and praying for all safety and smoothness, He Kun knelt on the futon in front of the two gods, and recited the words of prayer with a respectful face! Then he bowed three times reverently before slowly getting up.

The firecrackers were set off in a stone cave built on the side, otherwise it would not be a joke if there was a spark in this mountain, unless He Kun wanted to stay in the space for the rest of his life.

When worshipping gods and ancestors on the mountain, you must pay attention to this aspect, and try not to use it if you can not use an open flame. What people in the mountains fear most is fire.

In the past, when I saw a child playing with fire on the side of the mountain, a whip and punishment for kneeling were indispensable! No matter how much you love your children, you can be ruthless to smoke, otherwise you will have no ear surname, not to take it seriously, once something goes wrong, it is a big thing, it can be seen how important people in the mountains are to fire prevention.

After the firecrackers in the stone cave were finished, He Kun stepped forward to clean up, put on incense, burn paper, and someone must be present when setting off firecrackers.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, watching the incense extinguish and the smoke dissipate, after carefully inspecting it, there were no sparks left and right, He Kun beckoned to Dahei, took the firewood knife, and returned to the road.
