Chapter 6 Staying the course

Song Qi moved quickly, the snake reacted faster, and the snake's attack speed was really lightning fast. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At the moment when Song Qi's legs contracted upward, the snake jumped on the ground and swooped towards Song Qi's right leg like an arrow off the string. The mouth of the snake opened, almost the size of a blood bowl, and it bit on the leg of Song Qi, who was dangling in midair.

"Whoa~" is the sound of pants being bitten.

"Hiss~" The snake spitted out the snake letter proudly.

Song Qi felt a cold and spicy sensation in his legs, and he sighed in his heart: "It seems that he was still bitten by a snake!" It's over! ”

But he didn't give up, and his hands still held on to the old vine firmly. The whole body is still dangling on the old vine.

He looked down and saw the snake's body writhing, and the snake's tail quickly curled upward. Perhaps the serpent was not content to bite him, but was going to roll him up and devour him whole. Once entangled, the next step is devouring. He shuddered at the thought of this.

Could it be that I, Song Qi, crossed over here to make food for the belly of a poisonous snake? Isn't that a man who died laughing for a thousand years! I'd rather be poisoned than devoured! He climbed up the vine again.

"Whoosh~flutter~!" Out of nowhere, a stone flew from nowhere, and the overlord cobra that hung under Song Qi's pants and curled up and shrank flew out of the air.

"Brother Song, don't be afraid!" Ling Xue comforted from thirty steps away, "The snake has been beaten away by me!" ”

However, when she arrived, her figure was next to Song Qi.

Song Qi turned his head to look at the ground, only to see the snake writhing on the grass, crawling away quickly, and quickly disappeared into a dense bush.

Song Qi let go of his hand and fell back to the ground. The old vine quickly bounced upward, and then swung sharply. The branches and leaves of the trees are falling.

Song Qi suddenly felt dizzy and numb in his lower limbs.

He bent down and rolled up his trouser legs, only to see three bloody wounds lined up on his calf, the bruises on the wounds were blue and purple, and the calf was already swollen and swollen. He was suddenly frightened, and couldn't help but look at Ling Xue with sad eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Xue'er, I was bitten by the highly poisonous Overlord Cobra!" He will die soon! ”

Ling Xue saw that Song Qi's legs were swollen like roasted pig's trotters, and her little face turned pale with fright, but she still calmly comforted Song Qi and said, "Brother Song, it's okay!" Stand here and don't move, I'll run home and get snake medicine to detoxify you!" As he spoke, he ran towards his home.

Song Qi stood there, not daring to move a step. Looking down at the place where the snake had bitten, it was gradually turning black. Song Qi's heart was completely occupied by fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a green light. There was a bead, a green bead about an inch in diameter, lying quietly on the grass at his feet, shining with a faint green light.

He struggled to bend down and pick up the beads. The bead was crystal clear, and there was a warm and cool feeling in his hand that penetrated into his skin, quickly circulating in his meridians and blood. He suddenly felt refreshed, his head was no longer dizzy, and the numbness in his legs and feet seemed to disappear all at once. He looked down at the wound on his leg, the lump was gone, and only three tooth marks remained.

"Brother Song, the snake medicine is here!" Ling Xue came back like a gust of wind.

Song Qi held the green bead and said, "This bead seems to be very spiritual!" The place where I was bitten by the snake doesn't seem to hurt anymore. ”

Ling Xue didn't seem to believe it, and looked down at the wound on his leg, where only three shallow tooth marks remained.

She said happily: "Since this bead can cure snake venom, it should be left over from the snake when it bit you just now!" Could it be that this is the legendary Spirit Snake Pill? ”

"Spirit Snake Pill?" Song Qi's eyes lit up, he raised his eyes and looked around, but there was no trace of the snake.

"Yes. It is said that the spirit snake pill is cultivated by the spirit snake in absorbing the essence of the moon on countless full moon nights, which is both rare and supernatural, and can avoid water, fire, demons and beasts. Ling Xue smiled and patted Song Qi on the shoulder, and said with a smile; Brother Song, it seems that you have been blessed by misfortune! With the Spirit Snake Pill, your power will grow very quickly! ”

Song Qi shoved the Spirit Snake Pill into Ling Xue's hand, "Then this Spirit Snake Pill should belong to you!" ”

"No, no, no!" Ling Xue hurriedly pushed it back, "This Spirit Snake Pill was given to you by the Spirit Snake, not just anyone can take it, you are its owner." When I go back, I will make you a sachet and hang the spirit snake pill on your chest to protect your body at all times. ”

That night, the hall of the Ling family was filled with a green light, like a dream.

There were a few oil lamps lit in the hall, but they were all extinguished.

This green light emanated from the Spirit Snake Pill on the table.

Father Ling sat at the table and looked at this spirit snake pill like a night pearl in surprise.

Song Qi stood respectfully in front of Father Ling. After he got the Spirit Snake Pill, if he got a treasure, he wanted to give this Spirit Snake Pill to Father Ling.

Father Ling re-lit the oil lamp in the hall, carefully put away the Spirit Snake Pill, put it into the sachet made by Ling Xue, stuffed it back into Song Qi's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Song, I can't accept this Spirit Snake Pill." ”

Song Qi hurriedly pushed the sachet to Father Ling, and said in a trembling voice, "Daddy, why can't you accept it?" What is a Spirit Snake Pill? You saved my life, and I don't know how to repay you. This Spirit Snake Pill is a little bit of my heart. Besides, this Spirit Snake Pill was found on your family's mountain, and it should be returned to you. ”

"Brother Song, I have received your wishes!" Father Ling waved his hand to Song Qi, then stroked his beard, looked at the flickering lights, and said thoughtfully: "The spirit snake is a spiritual thing, and it will not give the snake pill to people casually." Since the spirit snake gave you the snake pill, it means that you are the one with great fate. ”

"Fate? What is my fate with the spirit snake? Song Qi couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Father Ling shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. But everything has a certainty, and you'll find out later. Okay, there you go. ”

"Daddy, then I'll quit." Song Qi had no choice but to retreat from the hall with the Spirit Snake Pill in his hand.

Ling Xue was waiting in the courtyard, when she greeted her and said with a smile: "What did I tell you, my father won't accept it." ”

Song Qi shook his head and sighed: "But I also deserve this Spirit Snake Pill." ”

Ling Xue comforted: "Okay! Brother Song, don't send it around. This Spirit Snake Pill belongs to you. You don't want to say that you can't send it out, even if people want to grab it, you can't take it away. Even if you snatch it, it will still come back to you. You can wear it around your neck in peace of mind and let it protect you at all times. ”

"Okay!" Song Qi had no choice but to nod in agreement, and hung the sachet containing the Spirit Snake Pill around his neck.

However, since this Spirit Snake Pill cured his snake venom, it seems that it has never shown any supernatural phenomena.

There was also no significant increase in his skills. I still feel quite struggling when carrying water.

The mountain that carries water and the mountain that chops wood are in two directions. Walking about a mile to the right from the discharge gate, there was a waterfall in the mountain, and there was a deep pool under the waterfall, and they needed to fetch water from the deep pool.

Ling Xue led the way, and the two of them each carried two wooden barrels, along the winding mountain path, laughing all the way to the mountain.

Along the way, the trees are verdant, the flowers are fragrant and the birds are singing, and it is beautiful.

I felt a chill hit me when I was still far away, and I heard the sound of water in my ears. As I got closer, through the gap in the branches, I saw a white line in front of me falling from the sky, flashing white light in the sunlight.

After turning two mountain recesses and walking for a meal, I arrived at the edge of the deep pool.

I saw that the two peaks were clamped, and the waterfall poured out from the halfway up the mountainside, hitting a boulder at a height of ten zhang, but it came down majestically, injected into an oval-shaped deep pool, and there was a loud bang, and the water splashed in all directions. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the tall trees, and the slightest light shines on the waterfall and water, reflecting a kind of mist that seems to be absent, like a fairyland.

The water of the pond is turquoise, unusually clear, and the fish and gravel are visible.

Ling Xue put down the bucket on the shore, wiped the splash on her face, and then raised her hand and pointed to the waterfall and said, "Brother Song, this waterfall is called Huanglong Waterfall, this deep pool is called Huanglong Pond, and there is no bottom below." Although Song Qi has become her senior brother, she still likes to call Brother Song, she feels that this is more cordial, more different, and unique.

Originally, it was not easy for Song Qi to walk a mile with an empty bucket, but the sound of rushing water flowed past his ears, which seemed to take away his worries and fatigue.

Song Qi suddenly became relaxed and comfortable, he looked up at the waterfall, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The scenery here is quiet and beautiful!" The waterfall seems to have the effect of washing the heart and cleansing the mind! ”

"yes!" Ling Xue nodded in agreement, "Take a seat here when you're annoyed, and you'll have no worries!" ”

The two sat on a boulder by the water and rested for a while, feeling physically and mentally happy. They want to sit here forever and enjoy the best of nature.

However, they had a task on their part, so they had to get up from the cool stones, fetch several buckets of water from the pool, and each of them carried the bucket back to his home.

I saw Ling Xue carrying two buckets full of two buckets of water, stretching out her hands to both sides, her feet did not touch the ground, her gait was steady, she walked lightly, and the drips did not overflow. The two barrels seemed to be born in her hands, and the two buckets of water were as easy as two bales of cotton. He really didn't want to understand how this weak woman could have so much strength and such endurance.

For Song Qi, it was not easy. Not only could he not stretch his hands out, but it was also very difficult to carry them vertically, and the two buckets of water were as heavy as two buckets of mercury. He staggered after Ling Xue, stopping and walking, the water in the bucket constantly swaying out. I hadn't walked a dozen steps yet, and half of the water in the bucket had been shaken out. The shoes and pants were completely wet with spilled water.

It's a small road with potholes. There was a big pit on the road ahead, and Song Qi was already in a hurry at this time, where to pay attention to the big pit on the ground. One accidentally stepped into the pit, and the other stumbled, staggering two steps forward, and fell heavily to the ground. The bucket also fell, and it got out of the way for a long time, and needless to say, the water in the bucket ran out.

Ling Xue heard the movement, looked back, and saw Song Qi lying on the ground, hurriedly put down the bucket, and came over in three or two steps to help Song Qi up.

"Are you alright?" Ling Xue glanced at Song Qi with concern.

Song Qi patted the dust on his body and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm fine!" ”

He had to go back to the pool, fetch two buckets of water, and carry them home. This time he walked very carefully, and finally staggered back to his home, but there was not a tenth of the water left in the bucket, and the man was exhausted, sweating, and panting.

If it weren't for Ling Xue's constant encouragement and encouragement, saying that persistence is victory, I'm afraid there wouldn't be even a drop of water left in the end.

After resting for half an hour, the two poured the water in the bucket into a large black water tank, and continued to lift the barrel to carry water to Huanglongtan...

After a few days, he had to carry water five times a day, and Song Qi's arms were so tired that he was exhausted, and when he came back, he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Song Qi felt that he was too uncompetitive, and he was really not the material for martial arts, so he almost gave up practicing martial arts. He shook his head and sighed: "It's so difficult to get a bucket of water, alas, it seems that I really don't practice martial arts." ”

"Brother Song, you can see that I can be a weak woman, and you must be a manly husband!" Ling Xue cheered up from the side and said, "Where is there anyone who is born to practice martial arts?" It's all practiced! Stick to it like this for three months and I promise you're improving by leaps and bounds! ”

Under Ling Xue's strong persuasion, Song Qi finally agreed to hold on...

I did rough work for ten days in a row. Song Qi also slowly got used to it.

It's really strange that on the seventh day, carrying two buckets of water was not as hard as the first day. Although he still swayed when he walked, and the water in the bucket kept swaying out along the way, when he reached home, there was more and more water left in the bucket every time.

It seems that many things depend on persistence, and if you can persevere, it will become a habit, and if you get used to it, it will become natural.

Perhaps, the Spirit Snake Pill really increased his physical strength in secret?

In fact, the reason why Song Qi was able to persevere, on the one hand, was because he promised Daddy Ling, although he may not be able to make a promise, but he must do what he promised, which is the bottom line of his insistence on being a man; On the other hand, it is because of Ling Xue's company and encouragement, of course, this also plays a very important role.
