These middle-aged people who came with the young people to collect medicine seemed to be a little hesitant for Wu Dao to join them. However, after walking a section of the mountain road, I found that the fair-skinned Wu Dao in front of me seemed to be more suitable for this steep and humid mountain forest than them.

Because only the young people speak Mandarin, the other middle-aged people seem to speak their unique national language, and Wu Dao can't understand it. Therefore, he is more by the side of young people, watching these people have a clear division of labor.

Two of them, middle-aged people carrying bird guns on their backs, were more responsible for the work of pathfinding, and marked the medicinal materials they saw on the road so that the medicine pickers with the medicine baskets behind them could dig them up one after another.

Compared with Wu Dao, who does not distinguish between old and young in the primeval forest, these herb pickers collect more medicinal materials that can be used for medicine, and other juvenile medicinal materials that cannot be used for medicine will be carefully separated and continue to let it grow here.

In addition to digging medicinal herbs, the mushrooms unique to the mountains and forests are also the target of these people, and they are placed in the young man's berries that specialize in carrying mushrooms. After the introduction of the young man, Wu Dao knew that some mushrooms could also be taken to the town below the mountain to exchange for money. And some high-value mushrooms can even be more valuable than medicinal herbs.

After all, most of the medicinal herbs they can collect now are some common medicinal herbs in the mountains. When it comes to the market, it really can't get too high a profit.

Just as Wu Dao followed behind as a tourist, watching these hard-working mountain people collect everything in the mountain and everything that could be taken to the bottom of the mountain for money, the two hunters who were exploring the road in front looked a little nervous, and desperately whispered to the people behind to silence. At the same time, he took off all the bird guns in his hand and stared nervously at the things under the hillside.

Just as Wu Dao was curious about what the two hunters had seen, the young man pulled him out and whispered, "Uncle Sangbao, they saw two pythons mating. And it's a big python that is rarely seen in this mountain, so let's keep it quiet and don't disturb them. Otherwise, alarming the python can lead to trouble. ”

Two mating pythons!

During this time in the primeval forest, Wu Dao, who had eaten python meat a lot, was very interested and said: "Can't this python be exchanged for money when it is taken down the mountain?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "That's okay, and the price is not cheap." It's just that it's difficult to catch this kind of big python, especially this mating double python, once annoyed with them. If you are bitten by them, I am afraid that it will also kill people. Seeing that Uncle Sangbao is so nervous, I think those two pythons must be not small. If it was smaller, they would have gone up and caught it a long time ago. ”

Wu Dao, who seemed to be full of curiosity when he arrived here, continued to ask: "Entering the mountain in a group like you must also be to reduce the danger, right?" Have the people who came out of your village also died? ”

The young man looked at this question with a dark expression and said: "My father used to be a hunter in the cottage, and later when he went into the mountains to hunt, he was bitten to death by two tigers. When the villagers found him, only his father's mutilated body and musket were left. Except for my father, there is a possibility of accidents when we go into the mountains almost every year. Therefore, we will not enter the mountains unless we have to do so. ”

Regarding the sadness of his curiosity suddenly touching the young man, Wu Dao also seemed a little embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that this question would make you sad." But I want to know, if it's so dangerous to go into the mountains, why are you going into the mountains again today? ”

The young man looked a little helpless and said: "This year, there is a big drought in the village, and many kinds of grain are almost lost. That bit of emergency food can only ensure that you don't starve to death, but usually the people in the village need money for food and clothing. Without food, we can only rely on going up the mountain to dig medicine to earn money for hunting.

This time we are the most experienced hunters and herb pickers in the village, and we have spent the night in the mountains yesterday. It's just that I didn't get any good gains, so I deliberately stayed for an extra day. But now it seems that there is not much to be gained in this mountain.

Although this mountainous area is relatively primitive, mountain people still often come in to collect medicine and hunt. If you want to make money to subsidize the people in the village, I'm afraid you have to find other ways. ”

Looking at the medicinal herbs and harvests that were almost not filled on everyone's backs, the young man also looked sad, although Wu Dao did not often pay attention to national affairs. However, in the news, there are occasional cases of drought and lack of rain in Caiyun Province, and I am also somewhat aware of it. It's just that he didn't expect that the ethnic minorities living in this border area would be so difficult that they need to risk their lives to go into the mountains to earn living expenses.

Thinking of this, Wu Dao continued: "Then if you can catch these two pythons, how much do you think you can sell them?" ”

Regarding Wu Dao's jumping question, the young man was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't know this, I have to take it to the dealer who collects wild meat in the town to know." But I know that last year, Uncle Sangbao killed a python more than four meters long in the mountain and sold it for more than 1,000 yuan under the mountain.

I think if I can kill these two snakes, the oil and salt money in the village should be enough. However, seeing that Uncle Sambao and Uncle Boogie were both nervous, those two pythons must be very big. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so nervous. ”

Just when everyone was nervous at the bottom of the hillside, a medicine picker lying on the ground suddenly pointed his finger at his companion and said a word. Soon Wu Dao found that the companion followed the direction of the medicine picker's finger and found a poisonous snake hanging on a branch not far in front of him.

The frightened screaming herb picker suddenly jumped up from the grass lying on his stomach, and Wu Dao soon saw the poisonous snake hanging on the branch, as if he was frightened by the scream, and jumped directly to show his fangs and bite the herb picker.

Just when the young man shouted that it should be 'be careful' or something like that, when he saw that the poisonous snake was about to bite the medicine picker, Wu Dao picked up a branch from the ground and shot it out. Soon these medicine pickers lying on the ground were horrified to see that this branch was like a sharp arrow, piercing the head of the poisonous snake and nailing it to the pole of a large tree beside them.

Without waiting for the young man to react to these herb pickers, the hunters, who had been lying on the top of the mountain on guard, saw two giant pythons disturbed by the sound of people on this side of the mountain. Immediately turned his eyes to this side, and soon found two hunters lying in the grass on the top of the mountain. Seeing that the python had finished mating, it made a 'hiss' chirp and quickly rushed to the top of the mountain.

The two hunters knew that they had angered the two pythons, so they no longer got up on their stomachs, and each of them quickly fired a shot at the python that was crawling quickly. The two hunters turned out to be good marksmanship, and they both hit the python. But it didn't hurt the python's vital point, and the python that was soon injured crawled quickly and faster up the mountain.

Just as the two hunters drew their machetes and shouted at the people down the mountain with a resolute expression, Wu Dao knew that this was an action to make them leave in a hurry. Soon, he carried the young man, and stood beside the two hunters who also looked a little stunned, as if carrying a leaf, beside the herb picker who had not yet reacted from the shock just now.

When Wu Dao saw the two menacing giant pythons, Wu Dao was not afraid at all and said: ", can such a big python be sold for a higher price?" ”

, who was mentioned by Wu Dao just now, was like a young man of the Wa tribe who floated to the top of the mountain, and he was shocked that Wu Dao would be a person with martial arts, and his martial arts were very high. finally understood why the other party was able to come out of the primitive mountains that they didn't dare to step into as a team, and still seemed so relaxed and calm.

Faced with the surprise of the two hunters, quickly asked the older hunter a few words, and waited for the older hunter to answer. said: "Honorable guest, Uncle Sangbao said just now that a giant python of this size can be sold for at least a few thousand yuan in the town. If you can catch both, you should have an income of nearly 10,000 yuan.

However, Uncle Sangbao said that this kind of giant python that was interrupted in mating was very ferocious and very difficult to deal with. He said that if you are not sure, you should run away quickly, and the two of them are in charge of the situation, and there should be no problems. ”

In this regard, Wu Dao smiled and said, "It's too late!" These two beasts crawl fast, so borrow your knife and use it! ”

Without waiting for Uncle Sangbao to agree, the middle-aged hunter felt that the machete in his hand disappeared in a blink of an eye, and when he turned around, he saw Wu Dao like a breeze rushing straight towards the two pythons that were walking side by side. Just when everyone was sweating for Wu Dao, the two angry pythons opened their big fishy mouths and bit at Wu Dao for Wu Dao, who suddenly appeared in front of them.

It's a pity that Wu Dao is not interested in wasting time with such a giant python at all, and in the face of the python kiss like a double dragon playing with pearls, Wu Dao didn't hide and went directly to the mouth of the snake. It's just that when he was moving forward, the borrowed machete also slashed under the heads of two pythons as fast as Bai Lian.

When Wu Dao took a few steps forward and stopped, Nige and the others, who were watching this scene on the top of the mountain, undoubtedly raised their hearts to their throats. Just when they felt that Wu Dao was exposing his back to the python at this time, an unforgettable scene appeared in their lives.

The head of the snake that was still hanging on the snake's body just now suddenly spurted out blood gushing out one after another, and the two giant pythons that had already stood up almost one meter high fell quickly like two fallen tree poles. When Wu Dao turned around, he saw two kills with one blow, and only a little snake skin was left on the snake's head.

Looking at the two giant pythons that were ten meters long and weighed hundreds of catties, they were killed by Wu Dao like chickens, these mountain people who were in awe of the mountains. Looking at Wu Dao's eyes, he was suddenly filled with a look of fanaticism and awe. Because, being able to kill such a giant python that makes them avoid snakes and scorpions is enough to prove that this person has mysterious and unpredictable skills! Such strange people in the mountains naturally need to be in awe of them!
