"Quick, the snake is still crawling this way." Shi Suo followed behind Xiao Guo, and also wanted to learn from Xiao Guo's appearance to pick a snake, he probed the branch forward, and the branch touched the body of the snake, but the snake body was soft and slippery, and he didn't hold it down, and the snake body turned over, raised his head and made a light sound at his "silk", and a stream of liquid, spewing out of the snake's mouth, rushed straight to Shi Suo.

Shi Suo was taken aback, but fortunately he was agile, flashed backwards, and was not sprayed by the liquid, Xiao Guo shouted, "Get out of the way." ”

Da Gang pulled the stone lock, took a big step back, and stepped aside.

Xiao Guo ran over, took the branch in Shi Suo's hand, and said, "You two will sweep the formation for me." He ran back to the carriage, and with the branch in his hand, he pressed a big snake to the neck, but this snake was unusually thick, in the middle of the waist, almost as thick as a person's forearm, and it was difficult to provoke it to throw away, Xiao Guo pressed it with a branch with one hand, and the branch in the other hand kept moving the body of the big snake, whipping left and right, Shi Suo looked at his movements, and suddenly remembered that the meerkat just now, when fighting with the big snake, this strategy was used. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Good idea." ”

After a while, the big snake lost its prestige under Xiao Guo's whipping, and its body collapsed, and Xiao Guo kicked it to the road.

On the carriage, there were already three or four snakes crawling, Xiao Guo left one, right one, one after another threw the snakes away, Shi Suo and Da Gang couldn't stop applauding next to them, seeing that there was still one left, Xiao Guo didn't use a branch to press, but directly held the snake's tail with his hand and lifted it.

The snake bent its body, its head went straight to Xiao Guo's body, Xiao Guo's hands were sharp, his wrist trembled, and the snake's head could not be completely raised.

"Okay," Xiao Guo said happily, "This guy's bones have already made me shake apart." ”

Seeing this, Shi Suo and Da Gang ran over and let go of the brakes, and the horses were already impatient, spread their legs, barked, and galloped forward.

"Haha, you're so much better than that wild cat." Shi Suo said while jumping into the carriage with Da Gang, Xiao Guo threw the branches, took the horse whip on the car, sat on the wheel, became a coachman, shook the whip, and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I played snake hunting, and I also caught meat to eat." ”

"I'm not going to eat it." Shi Suo thought about the group of snakes, but he still felt extremely disgusting and terrifying, and couldn't help shaking his head.

The carriage galloped forward for a while, and when he saw the shadows of the cars in front of him, Xiao Guo pulled the reins of the horse and slowed down. Da Gang and Shi Suo were sitting in the carriage, still talking about the snake formation just now, Shi Suo asked Xiao Guo puzzled, "Why did so many snakes suddenly appear?" Lu Daya held a citizens' meeting, is the snake also holding a citizens' meeting? ”

"Snakes, there are scattered and grouped," Xiao Guo turned around and said: "Sometimes there are hundreds of snakes in the big snake caves, and sometimes, digging mountains or digging the ground, they dig out big holes in the ground, and every nest is full of snakes, and there is also a snake king." ”

"The Snake King? Is there a queen? ”

Osmanthus Villa is located in a valley and is divided into two parts, like two villages, one large and one small, connected together, and like a two-headed drum with a thin gourd in the middle.

The surrounding mountain peaks surround the Zhuangzi in the middle, and there is only one large road leading to the village. This has the advantage that if someone walks into the village, they can be seen from afar.

Shi Suo drove the cart, followed Fan Ye and others in front, turned into the mountain pass, and saw the surrounding terrain, all mountains, only this one big road, hesitated, and then tracked in, will it be discovered? He parked the cart at the mountain pass, hid behind a thick elm tree, and looked ahead.

The village in front is divided into two parts, the big one in the back and the small one in the front, and it seems that together there are only 100 households, and such a village is not small in the mountains. The village is surrounded by a forest, dense bushes, most of which are laurel trees, if it is the autumn season of flowers, it must be outside the village, full of flowers.

The carriage of Fan Ye and the others walked all the way to the smaller village in front, and when the vehicle entered the osmanthus forest, it was out of sight. Da Gang asked Shi Suo: "Shall we enter the village?" ”

"Of course you go into the village, if you don't go in, you know what's going on inside? However, it's better to sneak in quietly and don't make it too conspicuous. ”

Shi Suo has now become much more meticulous than before, especially this time, he is leading the team, so he is even more afraid to be rough, he looked left and right for a while, and was thinking about what name to use to enter the village so as not to attract attention, behind him, there was a sound of horse bells.

Along the road of the valley, two more carriages came, and there was only one osmanthus villa in front, and those two cars were undoubtedly also going to the village. Shi Suo took his watch to heart, and he said to Da Gang and Xiao Guo: "Let's follow these two cars and get in." ”

The three of them sat on the side of the road, pretending to rest. The two carriages got closer and closer, and Xiao Guo suddenly said, "No, my God, you see, are there people or ghosts in the carriage?" ”

On the two carriages, there were more than ten people sitting in total, but they were not peasants, and they were dressed in colorful clothes, just like actors on the stage, and there were several people, wearing masks on their faces, and the masks were painted with grinning teeth, which was very terrifying, fortunately it was broad daylight, sunny and daylight, if it was encountered at night, it would be considered that it was a ghost.

"Maybe it's a troupe." Shi Suo said: "The team that performs the opera usually wears masks. After finishing speaking, he shook his head again, the actors in the troupe wore masks, but they were only on the stage, how could anyone walk on the road and wear a scary mask? What's more, the weather is hot at this time, and wearing a mask will make it even more stuffy?

The two cars approached, Shi Suo stood up, jumped into his car with Da Gang and Xiao Guo, and rushed to the road slowly, following behind the two cars, the people in the two cars were dressed quite strangely, except for a few wearing masks, there were a few, wearing the kind of wide robes and big sleeves on the stage, colorful and funny. In addition to the strange clothes, most of the people are carrying long packages on their bodies, which are bulging, which are obviously weapons, and some people carry swords directly at their waists.

"Hey, fellow, is there Osmanthus Villa in front?" In the carriage in front, a masked man shouted to Shi Suo and the others. This man's mask is a large white face, thin and long, much like a "traitor" on the stage.

It turned out that they were not from the village. Shi Suo replied, "Yes." Are you an acting troupe? ”

The "traitor" didn't answer Shi Suo's question, and continued to ask, "Where does President Su live?" Is it the front one, or the back one? ”

Where does President Su live? Shi Suo and the others didn't know either, but just now they saw Fan Ye and the others entering the small village in front, so they replied: "The one in front, we don't know either." Are you going to the village to act? ”

But the traitor spoke no more. The other man who was not wearing a mask and had a meaty face glared at Shi Suo, "What are you asking so much for?" (To be continued.) )
