Chapter 14: The wise and brave boy who wisely beheaded the cockscomb

The snake's body was coiled around the bamboo pole, although it had no head, it was still twisting, and the force was so great that it twisted the bamboo pole into a twisted shape. The head of the snake that fell off, the big mouth is still one by one.

Zimo listened vigilantly, looked around, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he waved his hand and slashed the snake's head in half. and five fingers grabbed the broken place of the snake's body, and before the body coiled over, his arm shook violently, and he heard a crackling sound from the snake's body, and the snake body more than four meters long was lying on the bamboo raft softly.

After dealing with the cockscomb snake, Zimo took the bamboo raft around the island again, and found no other cockscomb snakes, so he propped up the raft and went to the next island. He had been vigilant since the start of the fire, but except for the cockscomb snake, until the burn was finished, none of them appeared except for the designated island. After looking around at the entire Lei Xia Ze Lake, he saw no abnormality, and then returned to Chengyang City by boat.

There were a lot of people gathered on the shore, waiting anxiously with all kinds of farming tools, until they saw Zimo returning safe and sound, and the people enthusiastically stepped forward to comfort Yimo, and when they saw the cockscomb snake and blood on the bamboo raft, they panicked and retreated.

There were bold city citizens, who stepped forward cautiously, and used the tools in their hands to move the snake's head and snake body far away, and seeing that there was no response, Fang shouted loudly: "Come and see, it's the cockscomb snake, our little hero killed the cockscomb snake!" ”

Zimo walked off the bamboo raft with a smile and said to the city citizen: "Be careful, don't be scratched by poisonous fangs, it's poisonous." ”

The people of the city were frightened, and then they shook their shoulders calmly, and said with a smile: "I was really scared just now, I will be careful." After speaking, he hit the snake with the farm tool, "Let you scare me, I'll kill you!" Lao Tzu specializes in killing snakes, killing you! ”

The fleeing city citizens, hearing that it was a slain cockscomb snake, rushed up again, carefully watched the appearance of the cockscomb snake, and talked and commented on it.

When the innkeeper saw Zimo coming ashore, he stepped forward in a few steps, took Zimo's hand, and asked with concern, "How is this operation?" And what about the cockscomb snake on the bamboo raft? ”

"Uncle, let's go back to the inn first, and talk as we walk on the road."

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It's afternoon this time, and I'm hungry, so let's go back and fill in some things and sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple." ”

Along the way, Zimo told the story of setting fire to the island this time, and at the end of the sentence, he said to the shopkeeper, "I didn't expect that on the second island, I found another cockscomb snake, if this snake is not removed, it will definitely be a party in the future." ”

The shopkeeper was also very surprised: "We always thought there were only two cockscomb snakes, but we didn't expect that there was one hidden there, it was so terrible that I got goosebumps all over my body when I thought about it." ”

The two walked around and chatted and returned to the inn.

At this time, the group of onlookers remembered that this was the masterpiece of the little hero, and looked for Zimo to thank him, and when he heard that Zimo had returned to the inn, he rushed to the inn like a swarm of bees, and surrounded the inn.

After a brief meal, Zimo stood up and said to the onlookers: "Uncles and uncles, let's have a good rest today, and tomorrow morning, we will start to surround the island with a bamboo raft, destroy the cockscomb snake, and remove the scourge." In addition, please send a letter to the three uncles in the capital and act together. ”

When they heard that the cockscomb snake could be eliminated tomorrow, the people's hearts were surging and worried, and they were talking in groups about whether tomorrow would be smooth. There are those who are overly optimistic, saying that the little hero has already eliminated one cockscomb snake, and it is no problem to kill two more, and the confidence is high. There are pessimistic people who say that the one we killed today is far from being comparable to those two, and that if we escape one and run to the shore, we will suffer.

No matter what others talked about, after Zimo had eaten, he first went to check the situation of the bamboo raft and other things, and saw that there was indeed no problem, so he relieved himself and returned to the guest room.

When I entered the room, I saw that the red pine nut was meditating cross-legged, and he didn't bother, but he sat down to the side and meditated like a master, running Zhou Tian and harmonizing his true qi.

With the golden crow chasing the rabbit, the morning sun rising, the beginning of a new day, Zimo had a full meal, carrying a wooden knife, carrying an ink knife, came to the shore where the bamboo raft was placed early, saw that no one had come for the time being, put down the knife, stretched his muscles, and punched and kicked a few times.

After closing the momentum, sitting on the bluestone, Zimo looked at the materials in front of him, thinking about today's action plan and whether there were any mistakes. I suddenly remembered that the innkeeper said that the cockscomb snake was invulnerable, and what if he couldn't break through the flesh and scale armor in the fierce battle? His brows furrowed, and the scars on Liu Wu's legs came to mind, and the big mouth and long teeth of the cockscomb snake that he had killed yesterday had come to mind. Yes, Zimo slapped his thigh, stood up, found the hemp rope, pulled out the rope and began to coil it up in a circle, and after a while, a round ball was coiled, the size was shoulder-width and the rope was pulled at one end, Zimo waved his knife to cut it, and the rope was like a meteor hammer. Looking at his masterpiece, Zimo couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe this rope group would make a contribution today.

After waiting a little longer, the people of the city gathered in twos and threes. When the personnel arrived, Zimo found a tall bluestone, jumped up, looked around the city, and said: "Uncles and uncles, today we are going to kill the two cockscomb snakes, here I need uncles and uncles to help me prop up the bamboo raft around the island, remember that there are five people on each bamboo raft, all with weapons in their hands, remember that if you see the cockscomb snake, don't shoot, don't panic, the scale beetle, don't dare to attack the crowd, and stand on the bamboo raft, but also be careful underwater, The person holding the boat must have someone to alert him to the surface conditions, and if he finds something wrong, he retreats to the middle of the raft. When you get to the island, you can leave and I will connect the rafts. The people of the capital on the other side of the river were arranging the same thing.

After the order, although everyone was afraid, but when there were many people, the fear faded.

Carrying an ink knife, a wooden knife on his back, and a few sharpened bamboos, and carrying a rope, Zimo came to the bamboo raft yesterday and took the lead in rowing towards the island.

According to Zimo's instructions, the other city residents marched towards the island in groups of five, holding the bamboo raft. Since there are a lot of bamboo rafts, there are not so many people at one time, so you need to divide them into two times to get them all over. After the first bamboo raft arrived, Zimo moved to the bamboo raft, found the right point, and pushed hard, the bamboo raft quickly rushed to the island, and the sharpened part of the bamboo raft was deeply rooted in the soil of the island, and then Zimo used the bamboo carried by the valve to insert it at the bottom of the lake from the other direction to fix the bamboo raft to prevent it from moving with the waves. After the first bamboo raft is fixed, the second bamboo raft is fixed according to law and connected with hemp rope.

Because the people of the city were deeply afraid of the cockscomb snake, they did not dare to approach the island, so they could only contribute by Zimo alone.

These jobs are simple to say, but they are difficult to do, and it took Zimo three hours to connect them all and fix them. A jar of vegetable oil was sprinkled on the erect bamboo.

When all the people of the city evacuated, it was estimated that the time should be able to reach the shore, Zimo according to yesterday's method, threw out a few cans of vegetable oil, and then immediately took out a bow and arrow, wrapped a linen cloth dipped in vegetable oil, lit it, swished a few arrows to shoot, and suddenly the fire soared into the sky, and the egrets, wild ducks and other waterfowl and birds encountered a panic and quickly rushed to the sky, escaping from their nests to save their lives.

Zimo rushed to set fire to the three sides of the island, and then quickly came to the other side, leaving a life gate, which was reserved for the snake to escape from this way, otherwise there would be fire on all sides, and the snake would not be able to break out, so it would be difficult to do.

With an ink knife in one hand and a wooden knife in the other, he stood on the bamboo raft and stared at the island with both eyes, and his ears recognized all the sounds around him.

Suddenly, I saw two red shadows on the reeds and grass in front of me. Give people the first feeling, flying on the grass. The speed was so fast, I just saw the grass flying, and in a blink of an eye, I was in front of me, with a flat triangular head, a vertical head, a red body, a long crown on his back, extending from the top of his head to his tail, a five-meter-long body, and I don't know how to fly on the reeds. A feeling of enchantment, terrifying.

Fortunately, the bamboo raft was long enough, and the bamboo that was erected was about ten meters away from the nearest reed, and the bamboo that was erected was as high as five meters, and the cockscomb snake that flew in couldn't jump over.

One of the cockscomb snakes flew from the reeds, inertial impact, "snapped" and fell on the bamboo raft, twisting its body to climb along the bamboo, but the bamboo was sprinkled with vegetable oil, slippery, and the snake's belly could not focus, and the cockscomb snake stained with vegetable oil could only spin in place, but could not crawl.

The other cockscomb snake is coincidentally flying straight to Zimo, once such a big snake is overwhelmed, it must be overwhelming, once it is overwhelmed, the snake body will be directly coiled up, and it will be difficult to escape at that time. At this juncture, it reflects a person's adaptability, a short period of time, will not give a gap in thinking, at this time, Na Zimo, many calculations and plans are useless, I saw his body slip, shook, slipped to the side, the snake also fell on the bamboo raft like the first snake, in that barely erected a head and twisted around, the weight of the impact of the bamboo raft shook for a while.

Seeing that the two cockscomb snakes had landed on the bamboo raft, Zimo was happy, and said in his mouth: "I'm not afraid that you will appear, I'm afraid that you will run away, this is good, they all fell here, I have to clean you up." ”

After that, he inserted the wooden knife into his back, lifted the bamboo pole that supported the boat and hit the head of a cockscomb snake in the back, and the snake opened its mouth to bite as soon as it saw a threat, how could Zimo let it bite the bamboo pole, and saw Zimo retract the bamboo pole and then stab forward, and the snake opened its mouth to bite again. At this moment, Na Zimo raised his foot, "snapped", kicked the rope out, and went straight to the mouth of the snake, but the big snake thought that the prey was sent to the door, and bit the rope, and the two big fangs pierced into the rope ball fiercely, and the venom was poured into the lifeless. But the strange thing is that when you bite into this mouth, why can't you pull out this tooth, can't close your mouth and can't open it, you can't swallow it and spit it it out, how is this good. The snake was trying to get rid of the rope, but Zimo wouldn't give it time. Seeing Zimo's footsteps slip and come to the snake, before its tail rolls up, the ink knife in his hand "brushes" into the mouth of the snake, from the front mouth in, the back out, making a sound like cutting cloth, and then a horizontal stroke, the head of the snake from the mouth split in half, blood splashed three meters. The snake's mouth was split, the pain was unbearable, the five-meter-long body twisted and swept over, Zimo flashed back, turned into a claw with one hand, and buckled it on the snake's tail, this cockscomb snake was really extraordinary, as soon as the snake's tail was in his hand, he obviously felt that the hardness of the scale armor was different, far from being comparable to the one he killed yesterday. The five fingers buckled the snake's tail hard, and swung it with force along the direction of the snake's tail twitching, and listened to a burst of "pop pop", and I don't know where Zimo learned the skill, just like that, the five-meter-long cockscomb snake was separated from the bones all over its body, and it fell on the bamboo raft on its stomach. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zimo stepped forward and slashed out one step at a time, cutting open half of the snake's mouth that was practicing, completely eliminating the threat of the tongue. These words were too late and fast, and it was only a blink of an eye, and a fierce Thunder Xia Ze and a cockscomb snake that injured countless people was killed under Zimo's knife.

Flattening this, Zimo picked up the bamboo pole again and waved his knife to sharpen his head, and walked towards another cockscomb snake. The cockscomb snake was still in a circle, unable to crawl smoothly, and when it saw Zimo coming, it was already afraid, spitting out the letter, and trying to raise its head to show its momentum. Zimo came to the snake ten steps away, looked at the snake, one person and one snake confronted each other like this, suddenly Zimo sent his left hand forward, the bamboo pole took advantage of the momentum to follow his hand, brushed it, and slid forward, and the sharp bamboo pole pointed directly under the neck of the cockscomb snake. The cockscomb snake also reacted quickly, and when it saw something running towards it, it lowered its head and opened its big mouth to bite the bamboo pole. Before the snake's mouth could bite, Zimo held the bamboo pole with one arm and gently stroked it, and the head of the bamboo pole drew a circle and circled around the tongue. The snake couldn't grasp the target, so it had to open its mouth wide to take precautions. At this moment, I saw that the bamboo pole that was making a circle rushed forward, its momentum was as fast as lightning, as fast as the wind, along the mouth of the snake, straight into it, a pass to the end, just like the slaughter of pigs in the countryside, with the sorghum stalk to clean the pig's intestines, straight not to Deng, the five-meter-long cockscomb snake into a snake stick. The snake was cold and was pierced by the entrance of the bamboo pole, the pain was unbearable, the snake's mouth was about to bite the bamboo pole, but with the obstacle of the bamboo pole, the mouth of the snake was supported, and the upper and lower jaw muscles could not exert force, and they could only bite the bamboo pole in that mouth, and they wanted to twist their bodies to break the bamboo pole. The cockscomb snake wanted to get rid of the bamboo pole in order to survive, but Zimo didn't give him a chance, and rushed forward, the knife in his right hand was horizontal, and he slashed at the bamboo pole.
