Chapter 17: The Great Worm
The sky finally cleared, and the rain was taken away by God, and not a drop of it was falling anymore. In the wine shop and the house, some people shouted and hurriedly asked people to go to the cattle shed to set up a cart, and go to the city to get rice noodles and chickens, ducks, fresh bream, fruits and vegetables, and the wine that had just been broken.
The wooden tenants who got up early in the wooden board house also found a comfortable place to lie down in the pile of timber, ready to bask in the body that was almost moldy covered by the rain.
It seems that the sky signs of the past few days, only the heavy snow and a flash of red light still have some impressions, and this clear sky is still the same day. The sounds of birds can be heard in the woods.
Xiao Er, who was driving the car, took the silver taels, and as soon as he walked to the livestock shed, he screamed.
A few wooden customers went over to see that in the livestock shed, a cow had its throat cut, and a cow's leg was missing. The people in the room scolded for a while, and they knew that these people could do anything, especially in this ghost weather. Hurriedly set up a car and rushed to the city.
After Liang Yuxi got up, when he heard this, he knew that it was a good thing done by the short man Wang Fei Liuye, but he was also like everyone, seeing that the sky was clear, he also felt that he had finally relieved his breath, who still cared about this.
The bookkeeper supported the house, but did not waste the cut ox, so he slaughtered it and stewed a large pot, waiting for the little two who entered the city to bring back the rice noodles, and also pasted some cooking cakes to reward the wooden customers.
When Liang Yuxi walked around without anything, he couldn't help but stop, and deliberately went to the gate of the courtyard due north to look a few times, but he didn't see Xiao Xiaoshen's figure. I was still surprised that he had been hiding in the backyard for the past few days, not knowing whether he was free or frightened.
When the "Four Poor Qi" saw him, they glared at him fiercely. It wasn't until Dong Shuhuai and a few wooden guests stood up that the people on both sides dispersed.
And the dozen or so sisters on the upper floor of the brothel are very busy, it seems that after this world is saved, the wooden guests suddenly have vitality and a reason to live. There were also a few wooden guests who, as usual, wanted to block Wu Niang's door, but were blown away by Wu Niang as usual.
The beef soup has been simmering in the big iron pot, and the fragrance is so fragrant that the wooden guests are all dangling at the door of the room, and they have gone to the gate to see it a few times. It is said that this forest farm can go back and forth in two hours, and if it is delayed for a while, it is no problem to come back at noon. And everyone's eyes have seen through, and there is still no shadow of cars and horses on the road.
About noon, the second driver finally came back, and there was only half a car of goods left in the car.
The woodcutters all gathered around him and listened to him breathlessly. It turned out that he drove into the city very smoothly and went to the old store in the city to handle the goods. The shopkeepers also asked him why he hadn't seen him in the city for many days. The driver said that it had rained for several days in the forest farm, and there was snow in July a few days ago, and the cars and horses could not get out.
The shopkeeper in the city said that it was very sunny in the city for a few days, and there was no sound of wind and rain. Xiao Er, who drove the car, didn't believe it, and said that the Black Pine Mountain behind the forest farm, that night, after a loud noise, suddenly turned red on the mountain, as if God was going to send a disaster.
The people of the city laughed at him and said something about the five oxen to amuse the boring man. Xiao Er was in a hurry and didn't know what to say, and later wondered if he really didn't see clearly.
On the way back, the second driver was also anxious to come back at noon. They were almost at the foot of the mountain, and the pear blossom horse in this cart was suddenly startled and ran wildly. Xiao Er couldn't pull it.
After running for a while, Xiao Er found that the beasts in the Black Pine Mountain, wild boars, bears and jackals were all scurrying in the mountains. If it weren't for the daylight, maybe it would have been on the road. After Xiao Er saw it clearly, he hurriedly whipped the pear flower horse like crazy, ran all the way and lost things all the way, and finally came back.
Xiao Er took a sip of water after speaking, looked at the skeptical eyes of the woodmen, and cursed and swore for a while. Still no one believed him, and they all said that he must have been short of silver taels, so he made up this lie.
However, the woodmen also wavered later, this black pine mountain has even snowed in July, and the mountain has turned red, will this beast be crazy? And the woodman listened carefully to the movement in the mountain, and the sound of wild beasts was more and louder than the usual sounds. Everyone wondered if the beast in the mountains was really crazy.
After eating the beef soup and cooking cakes, the wooden guests did not dare to take advantage of their full stomachs as usual, so they went back to the bed to sleep steadily, and a few of them got together and said what they were worried about.
In the evening, seeing that there was no more rain and snow, the woodmen were somewhat relieved. And one of the wooden guests on the tower, who had nothing to look for, suddenly hissed and shouted: "The big worm, the big worm is coming, the big worm is coming." He was so frightened that he didn't know whether to come down or stay on it, and spun around on the top of the tower.
The people below all wondered if he was dazzled, and everyone knew that this mountain tiger was the most powerful. There are usually many animals in the Black Pine Mountain, and there are a lot of big insects to eat, and there are almost no disturbances when they go down the mountain. If the tiger goes down the mountain, it will either be hungry and red-eyed, or it will go crazy.
The wooden guests on the tower saw that the people below were not frightened by their shouts, and still sat in various corners casually. And he raised his voice again, and pointed to the other side of the mountain with wide eyes.
And his fingers were getting closer and closer, and his mouth was opening wider and wider, and he was already pointing to the entrance of the forest farm.
Hearing a tiger roar, a big insect with white eyes jumped into the forest farm.
The woodmen were shocked and motionless, the big insect in front of them was more than 300 catties, with a big head and a thick neck, bright coat, and a mountain king who was alive. There is no half like being hungry. I saw that after it jumped into the forest farm, I saw a lot of people looking at itself, it shook its head, and let out a long roar in the air, so that the wooden guests who had their hair standing on end, ah, yah, scattered in all directions. The big yellow dog also clamped his tail and ran to the barn.
Those who could hide in the house hurried into the roof door, and those who could not enter the house ran wildly for a while, so they crawled to the high place of the pile of wood, and the "four poor strangers" hurriedly bolted the door of the north house. Several of the carpenters were so embarrassed that they lost their shoes. Some people regretted standing in a position that was not high enough, too close to the big worm, and several people were trembling at the heights. Thinking about changing places, I was afraid that if I ran up, I would lead the big worm over.
Everyone stared at the big worm carefully, and it was very pleasant. Xu was really not hungry, and he walked in the middle for a while, and then found a clean stake, and rubbed it on it; He lay down on the ground in the middle and began to fix his fur......
Seeing that it didn't swoop around, and didn't even plan to find something to eat, the woodmen gradually relaxed. It's just that the big insect seems to be intent on playing, and it looks left and right from time to time, and if it sees anyone move, it will yell at whomever it wants, so that the woodmen standing on the high place of the wooden pile dare not breathe.
Liang Yuxi also looked at the crack in the door of the tavern for a while when he heard the movement, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this big insect was a little familiar. The big insect that was the head of the Void Seal Dao that day was also this demeanor, neither fierce nor sluggish, mighty and obedient, as if it was extremely human. Liang Yuxi was not easy to confirm, stared at it carefully for a while, and found that under the neck of this big insect, there was a light flickering from time to time, and I don't know what it was.
At this time, someone who was hiding in the house began to discuss whether to some guys and go out with the big guys. This beast is a beast after all, and maybe it can subdue this big worm.
However, as soon as I heard the roar of the big insect, those who were still a little ambitious at first were a little less courageous. There is really no one who is not afraid of the chilling tiger roar, and the people who say they want to go out and fight will not dare to mention it again in the end.
It was sunset, and the whole forest farm was immersed in dead silence. The big worm was already asleep in the middle of the field. I don't plan to leave, as if I am closest to people, but the forest is not a place of nostalgia.
The wooden guests who were forced by the big insect to advance and retreat, and did not dare to move, all cried and lost their faces, hoping that it would have some mercy and go away. If it doesn't go, I'm afraid that after dusk, it will be hungry, and it will really pounce on two to eat. And they all know that the beast is more different in the night than in the day.
The sun was slowly sinking, and the glow was faint. A heavy fog hit the foot of the mountain, slowly extending to the forest farm.
Liang Yuxi thought, there are dozens of people on the wooden pile, and there is no guy who can deal with the big worm, and no one has the courage to do it with his bare hands. But this is not the way to go, and those wooden guests who are hiding outside the house will not be able to survive in the end.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, almost like a cloud that could not be dissolved. Liang Yuxi's heart was also churning, a few days ago, when the "Four Poor Qi" were about to fight, most of the wooden guests were standing next to him, which was more or less a bit of kindness in it. Liang Yuxi felt that although he was receiving this share from others, he could not watch from the wall when others were in danger. He should have thought of a way to help those people get out of the tiger's mouth.
After thinking about it for a while, I saw the fog rising, and I could only see the shadow of the big worm clearly. Liang Yuxi began to get anxious. He looked around the tavern and saw a large wooden barrel with a barrel lid, and there was no problem hiding one person. It's just that people are hiding inside, what can they do? Didn't the man in that bucket just happen to be the plaything of the big worm?
However, this is also the only way to get close to the big worm.
Dong Shuhuai was not around, Wu Niang was not worried that he came down to see him. Liang Yuxi thought that the big insect has not yet pounced on people, most likely it is not hungry, if it is hungry, it will be too late. If you want to take risks, you have to do it early.
He made up his mind, so he brought a sharp knife, a jar of wine, pulled a sweat towel, kicked the fire twist in his arms, kicked over the barrel, and jumped in. A few wooden guests and juniors in the tavern were frightened, not knowing what he was going to do.
Liang Yuxi said: "After a while, you opened the door, help me, and I rolled to the big worm." If you see the fire, you will run with a shout. ”
The woodmen were all shocked, saying that he was going out to fight with people, and that the brute might slap the barrel with a slap, or think of another way. Liang Yuxi said: "This big insect is no better than those who are down-and-out, it seems to be extremely clever, it is not easy to drive it away, and if you use a knife and gun, it may hurt people." If you make a noise, you can't get it to walk away. I still have to force it out of here. ”
Seeing that he insisted on going, he couldn't pull it, so he nodded and agreed to open the door and push it.
Liang Yuxi entered the wooden barrel, placed the wine jar, pulled the lid of the wooden barrel, and knocked on the wall of the barrel. The people opened the door of the tavern, pushed him out of the door with a bucket, and then pushed him through the position of the big worm.
