After sending off the villagers, Lijia Village returned to its former peace, without these men who are in charge of the house, women love to hang out and chat, Situ Yan's family will have people come to the door from time to time, and she is annoyed by the noise, but when people come to the door, she can't help but say hello. I had to hide in the mountains all day and didn't even go home at noon.

Li Dalang also understood the little sister's thoughts, and they all hid in the fields and did not go home, leaving only General Tie to guard the door and welcome guests. After a long time, the number of people who came to the door gradually decreased.

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, Situ Yan did not go into the city to sell things, and the villagers were still talking about their family at this time, and many people were staring at her family, so they wanted to know how these babies could make so much money by selling them every time they entered the city. But she didn't forget to ask Xiao Yang'er to help go to the county school to change waste paper.

She didn't go into the city, she carried a basket into the mountains early in the morning, and it didn't rain in the past few days, and the temperature had risen, but she felt cooler in the forest. Thinking that she didn't have to go home to cook at noon, Situ Yan wanted to go deep into the mountains. The herbs on the mountainside have been picked by her almost, fifty years of ginseng only picked two, not to mention other precious medicinal materials, she has long wanted to go into the mountains to see, rare today to get the opportunity, touched the dagger on the waist, carried a wooden stick, habitually carried her basket to the mountains without hesitation.

I didn't go far into the mountains, and there was no road under my feet, and there were almost no traces of people walking here.

Situ Yan cheered up and paid attention to the surrounding situation. The towering trees overhead that cover the sky and the sun make the mountains and forests even more dark and mysterious, and the rustle of the autumn wind blowing through the leaves in your ears can occasionally see squirrels jumping between the trees, and you can also see the poisonous snake spitting letters leisurely turning around and slipping away when you hit the grass and startling the snake.

It is isolated from humans and is a pure land for animals. Rather than dealing with people, Situ Yan prefers the world here, pure and natural.

There are indeed a lot more herbs in the deep mountains than on the mountainside, just ginseng, Situ Yan found two, one of them just looked at the number of scales on the head of the reed has exceeded a hundred years, Situ Yan picked up a branch from the ground and inserted it on the ground, and then tied the ginseng to the inserted branch with a red rope, and then took out the deer bone from the ring and bought it in the pharmacy for digging ginseng, and the whole person lay on the ground and dug carefully.

Although his mind was all focused on digging ginseng, his perception of the danger around him did not drop to the bottom, and after only half of the digging, he heard a rustling sound behind him, not the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, but the sound caused by the snake crawling past. Situ Yan turned around, took out the dagger on her body, and looked at the grass behind her.

The grass is divided into two by the wandering snake, its head is slightly triangular, clearly distinguished from the neck, there are 9 symmetrically arranged large scales on the back of the head, the body is thicker, the tail is relatively short, the back of the body tail is grayish-brown, and there are several dark brown transverse spots. Situ Yan can be sure that this is the "rock pit viper", one of the most venomous snakes in the Northeast. This is the season when this snake is at its most active. However, this kind of snake mostly appears on the edge of the rocks, and rarely moves in grassy areas, and appearing here at this time can't help but remind Situ Yan of the admonition of her grandmother in her previous life, "There must be a big snake on the side of the big ginseng." "I think this snake was attracted by ginseng, but now she has seen the real Zhang.

Swallowing her saliva, she focused all her attention on this snake, which was agile and powerful, and if she was not careful, she would also be hit.

The "rock perch" spit out the letter, circled around Situ Yan for half a circle, shrank his head back, and his body flew towards Situ Yan like a propped spring. If it was someone else, I was afraid that he would have died at this time, Situ Yan was born in a special forces, and he was still very experienced in dealing with such a snake, and on the back of his right leg, the dagger was seven inches straight into the snake, and the snake was nailed to the ground in just one moment.

He exhaled, and when the snake body didn't twist anymore, he stepped forward and took out another dagger from the ring, cut off the snake's head first, and then picked up the snake as a whole, "I'm sorry little snake, if it wasn't for you hitting me, I wouldn't have done this black hand, sorry!" I'm sorry! Don't remember to be cruel to me, let's reincarnate as soon as possible! But I'll keep your snake body! ”

If others heard it, they were afraid that they would think that Situ Yan had scared the snake crazy, so they would talk nonsense, but in fact, Situ Yan has feelings for animals more than for people, even if it is this poisonous snake that wants to attack her. Throwing the snake into the ring, the snake's head was buried on the spot, so as not to attract other animals to the bloody breath, and then she continued her plan to dig ginseng.

After being busy for nearly an hour, I took out the two ginseng completely, wrapped them in cloth, and put them in the ring, and then patted the soil on my body and continued to move forward.

After walking for almost an hour, except for some ordinary herbs, I didn't find anything special, seeing that after noon, I was a little hungry, and I searched for a long time before I found a cave, I wanted to go in to rest for a while, eat something, but I smelled a pungent fishy smell wafting out of the cave.

In Situ Yan's experience, this cave is afraid that there are fierce beasts living in it, she doesn't want to cause trouble, she retreats lightly, just a few steps back, she heard a low roar of animals, and the sound is a little like a wolf, but this sound gives Situ Yan a kind of terminally ill misery, so she can't help but stop, think for a while, can't help but be curious, hold the dagger, touch into the hole, the hole is not deep, through the light outside the cave, you can clearly see everything in the cave.

A tall, snow-white wolf was lying in the hole, with obvious traces of being bitten by a snake on his legs, and black blood was flowing at this time, as if he felt that someone was approaching, the wolf struggled to get up, and raised his head, Situ Yan saw clearly that this was not a wolf, looking at its head and forehead, its parietal bone was slightly rounded, and its ears drooped. The mouth tube is thick and short, the neck is thick, the throat skin is loose, the tail is big and hairy, and he is staring at Situ Yan with a pair of apricot eyes. It's a Tibetan mastiff, and it's a white Tibetan mastiff.

Situ Yan's favorite animal is the dog, because the dog is the most loyal guardian, especially the Tibetan mastiff. It is difficult for the Tibetan mastiff to recognize the master, but once it recognizes the master, it only follows one master in his life, and if the master dies, the Tibetan mastiff will follow without eating or drinking. This kind of loyalty is incomparable to man.

"Little girl, don't move, my sister will treat your injuries!" Situ Yan put away the dagger, raised her two hands, and walked towards the cave as she spoke.

I don't know if it was Situ Yan's voice that confused the Tibetan mastiff, or if it was really poisoned, anyway, after listening to Situ Yan's words, it didn't struggle anymore, and obediently lay down, waiting for Situ Yan to approach.

Situ Yan was bold, walked a few steps quickly to the Tibetan mastiff, first looked at the wound on its leg, took out the dagger, drew a cross on the wound, and squeezed out the poisonous blood, I don't know how long the Tibetan mastiff was poisoned, and I didn't see red blood for a long time, Situ Yan was a little anxious, and then dragged it down, I was afraid that the Tibetan mastiff would not be saved, and suddenly remembered the poisonous snake in the ring, took out the snake, squeezed out the snake gall, and gave the Tibetan mastiff a dose first, and then found out the green wood incense, snake money, three-step jump and other herbs that specialize in antidote to snake venom from the ring and mash them, One part is applied externally and part is taken internally.

This Tibetan mastiff is very humane, and it can be seen that Situ Yan just wants to treat its injuries, so even if Situ Yan slashed it with a dagger, he did not resist, and when Situ Yan took the snake gall bladder and fed it herbs, he obediently ate what was fed to his mouth. also licked Situ Yan's palm with his tongue.

"I don't know if this medicine can save you, look at your white hair, if you can survive, will you follow me in the future? I'll name you 'Snow Wolf', don't you think it sounds good? Why are you not with your partners, are you left behind, if you don't have a home, just follow me, my home will be your home in the future, we will live together, see if you don't make a sound, I will agree to you. Situ Yan babbled to herself for a long time, she really likes this Tibetan mastiff, but if this Tibetan mastiff is unwilling to follow her, she will not force it, but she feels a pity.

After waiting for nearly an hour, I saw that the sadness in the Tibetan mastiff's eyes had receded, revealing a cold and fierce look, Situ Yan was not afraid at this time, and touched the Tibetan mastiff's head with her hand, "It seems that you are fine, I am also leaving." Situ Yan got up and walked two steps, and when she saw that the Tibetan mastiff didn't follow, she couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that the Tibetan mastiff didn't plan to leave with her. Turning around, he waved his hand at the Tibetan mastiff, "'Snow Wolf', although you don't go with me, you have to remember the name I gave you, and remember my friend and family." I don't know when we'll see each other again, but I hope you don't forget me. ”

After saying goodbye to the Tibetan mastiff, Situ Yan took out the dagger again, put it in her hand, and then walked out of the cave and down the mountain, she had to rush home before dark, otherwise her brothers should be in a hurry.

Halfway up the mountain, he heard a sound in the bushes behind him, like the sound of a large beast approaching. Situ Yan turned around violently, put the dagger across her chest, and drove her legs slightly, but she was ready to fight, she would fight if she could fight, run away if she couldn't fight, and hide in the ring if she couldn't escape.

The sound was close in front of her in a few breaths, and Situ Yan was happy to find that it was not a fierce beast that followed, but the Tibetan mastiff "Snow Wolf" she had just treated.

Inserting the dagger back into his waist, he squatted down and held the head of the Tibetan mastiff in his arms, "'Snow wolf', are you willing to go home with me?" Thank you for your willingness to live with me! We'll be a family from now on. Situ Yan was extremely excited, she had another family, and it was an absolutely loyal family.

The poison on the Tibetan mastiff was not completely resolved, and it still needed to recuperate, so Situ Yan didn't walk fast, one person and one dog walked while talking, and Shen Shimo returned home. Li Dalang was waiting anxiously to go into the mountain to find someone, and when he saw the little sister coming back, he put down his heart, and was just about to step forward to persuade the little sister a few words, only to find that the little sister was followed by a white wolf, so frightened that he pulled Situ Yan's hand and protected her and her younger brothers behind him, "Little Wu, come into the house, there are wolves." ”

Situ Yan was pulled by Li Dalang, and then she remembered that her brothers were afraid that they would be afraid when they saw the Tibetan mastiff. Just as he was about to explain, he saw the Tibetan mastiff roar in a low voice, and rushed towards Li Dalang with his body bowed, thinking that it thought that this person was going to bully its master, and launched an attack on Li Dalang.

"Snow wolf, don't." Situ Yan pulled Li Dalang back, and the whole person blocked in front, the Tibetan mastiff didn't stop, and knocked Situ Yan down at once, Erlang was so frightened that he screamed, thinking that the little sister was going to be bitten to death by a wild wolf.

A few people made a mess at once, or the snow wolf got down from Situ Yan, Situ Yan had time to explain to a few people, "Brothers, don't be afraid, this is not a wolf, it is a dog, I found it in the mountains, it was bitten by a snake, I saved its life, so it followed me home, and it will be a member of our family in the future, and I named it 'Snow Wolf'." ”

Only then did the four brothers of the Li family react, looking at the Tibetan mastiff called "Snow Wolf", they didn't know what to do for a while. Situ Yan turned around and touched the Tibetan mastiff, "'Snow wolf', these four people are my brother, you can't scare them anymore in the future." We're a family. ”

I don't know if the Tibetan mastiff can understand, anyway, the Tibetan mastiff didn't attack Li Dalang and the others again. Situ Yan was relieved, led the Tibetan mastiff into the yard, went to the backyard first, and introduced the mule called "carrot" to the Tibetan mastiff. When the mule first saw the Tibetan mastiff, it was also so frightened that it squirted and spun around, trying to escape. Situ Yan touched its head in time, and then touched the head of the Tibetan mastiff, so it didn't spin around, but it also hid far away.

Situ Yan didn't ask his family to accept the Tibetan mastiff immediately, as long as everyone could get along well, after a long time, it would be fine.

With one more member in the family, Situ Yan wanted to get some food for the Tibetan mastiff, but except for some bacon and smoked chicken, she couldn't find any food suitable for the Tibetan mastiff.

"'Snow wolf', I don't have anything to eat at home today, you will eat smoked chicken mats these days, and then buy you live chickens to eat when I go to the city to catch the market." Situ Yan settled the Tibetan mastiff in her room, firstly, for fear that Dalang would be frightened by a few people, and secondly, it was convenient for her to take care of her.

"Xiao Wu, the dog can't stay in the house, if you get up in the middle of the night, what can you do if you hurt it?"

"Big brother, this dog is very special, although it never recognizes the Lord, but once it recognizes the Lord, it will be absolutely loyal, even if it wants to die, it will not hurt me. Don't worry! ”

"Little Wu, if you don't let it sleep in the hall, at least I don't have to worry about it at night."

"Let it sleep in my house for the next few days, it still has snake venom on it, it is convenient for me to take care of it, and my brothers don't have to be afraid when they come out and go in."

"Xiao Wu, this can't be troublesome, if there is really a case, I am very scared."

"It's really fine. The eldest brother can rest assured, when did the little five do things that he was not sure of. ”

Li Dalang couldn't be persuaded to do so, so he had to pay more attention to himself, once something happened, he would be able to save his little sister.
