Metamorphosis - Many Disasters (17)

Immediately afterwards, another plain appeared in front of it. I breathed a sigh of relief and said that I had passed through some mountains and forests and barren slopes, and now I could finally walk on a flat road for a while. Brother Monkey said that barren mountains and mountains are good, not only can you exercise your courage, but also exercise your body, which is simply killing two birds with one stone; Especially for you nerds.

As he spoke, some tents appeared in front of me. I said it was good now, at least I didn't have to lie on the grass to rest. We went to the nearest tent and knocked on the door, and in a short time a man with a dark face came out of the tent. Of course, the tent itself has no door, so we can't knock on the door as we usually do, but these tents in front of us are set up more specially, and the owners of the tents almost all hang an iron sheet at the entrance of their tent, which reads "Please knock on the door if you have something". I think that the residents here are really very smart, as far as I know, it seems that none of our residents on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have ever done this. If you want to describe it, it is not impossible to describe the plain and tent in front of you as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, because the two are too similar, and the only thing that cannot be determined is that I don't know if the altitude here is as high as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, because we do not have mercury columns, so this issue cannot be discussed for the time being. There are also many cattle and sheep on the plains, in groups and groups, walking leisurely on the meadows. "The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep", the difference is that the cattle and sheep can still be seen without the wind blowing here. Let's go back to what happened after we knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door, the door of the tent was opened, and a middle-aged man with a dark face came out. The man spoke respectfully, and I wondered if our appearance must have scared him. Brother Monkey also saw it, and Brother Monkey said: Big brother, don't be afraid, although we look ugly, we won't hurt you. After hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed to be relieved, nodded and continued to ask: Is there something wrong with you? I said, "Yes! Oh, yes! We want to ...... It's just that before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by Brother Monkey. Brother Monkey said: It's nothing, just passing by here, I want to borrow a place to rest; I don't know if the eldest brother is willing to do it. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, as if his face was embarrassed, and I hurriedly said: Don't worry, we are not bad people, and we will not harm you. Senior Brother Sha also said: That's right, yes, we often subdue demons and eliminate demons for some places. The middle-aged man seemed to finally believe us, and said that since this is the case, please come in and sit down, but the ugly words are ahead, and I don't have anything to eat here. Brother Monkey said that you don't need to worry about that, you don't have to worry about eating.

So the middle-aged man let us in. After entering, I saw the furnishings in the house, and I guessed that the eldest brother was a bachelor. Sure enough, I was right, because later Brother Monkey and his conversation confirmed that he was indeed a bachelor. After sitting down, Brother Monkey asked: Dare to ask the eldest brother's surname? The middle-aged man seemed to be a little flattered after hearing this, and said: You don't dare to be, the contemptible surname is Wang Dameng, and this year is forty, because he is the second oldest in the family, so everyone here calls me Wang Laoer. Alone? Brother Monkey asked. Yes? Oh, yes! Because I'm a foreigner, I haven't looked for a wife since I settled here. Wang Lao Er replied. What about Lingzun Lingtang? Brother Monkey asked again. Oh, long gone; A few years ago, because of the war, even my only brother was separated, and in the end, I was the only one left. Wang Lao Er replied.

It's really pitiful for me to think about Wang Er, living here alone. According to Wang Laoer's introduction, the people who live on this plain live by grazing, and those with a little money even buy real estate not far away and grow some food for their own consumption. Wang Lao Er said that he did not have much money, so like most herders, he had to raise dozens of cattle and sheep, and then rely on them to earn money to buy daily necessities. Can you? Senior Brother Sha asked in a very worried tone. If it's enough, it's all like that, otherwise what? Alas! Oh my life! Wang Lao Er sighed loudly, I don't know if it was a hint that we had to support him a little.

I asked Brother Monkey if he still had any money. Brother Monkey said yes, but he couldn't give him the money, wasn't that deceiving people? Senior Brother Sha agreed with Brother Monkey and said* that it would be better to wait for us to rest and go out and get him something valuable to come back, which is equivalent to his accommodation fee.

Of course, Wang Lao Er was not there when we said these words, he went out to fetch water. After a while, a few small heads came in from the edge of the tent and looked around the tent. When I looked closely, I realized that it was the children of several herdsmen. Their faces were exactly the same as those of Wang Lao Er, and they were also dark and swarthy. Seeing that we were looking at them, those heads were soon gone again, and when we turned around, we heard the squirting behind us again, and we didn't need to look to know that it must be those little guys again. I guess it's because we look outstanding, so they're curious.

After Wang Lao Er came back from fetching water, he began to make a fire to boil water, and then he stood up, picked up a bow and arrow hanging on the top of the tent, and said, "You guys will sit down for a while, and I will go out to hunt some game." I heard that Wang Lao Er was going out to hunt game, and I was also ready to move, saying that I hadn't tried it for a long time, and I really wanted to have another addiction. Wang Lao Er originally disagreed at first, but later Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha actually said that they wanted to follow to see and see, so Wang Lao Er had no choice but to agree.

When we walked out of the tent, we found that there were many herdsmen around Wang Laoer's tent, including adults. Wang Lao Er greeted them very warmly, and then introduced that we were passing by here to spend the night at his house. There was a child in the crowd who stared at me for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to run to my side and touch me with his hand, I guess he thought I was a character in the cartoon, I guess anyone would be surprised to see a monster-like guy like this, at the first sight. There are some cattle and sheep everywhere, so that we have to keep a very careful eye on them when we walk, and if we are not careful, we will be knocked to the ground by the rampaging them. Wang Lao Er said that because these cattle and sheep are naturally grown, they will not be afraid of humans.

After coming to an open field, Wang Lao Er stopped, and Wang Lao Er said: Okay, here it is.

Wang Lao Er said that he was going to hunt here and shoot wild geese in the sky. The three of us raised our heads and looked at them for a long time, but we didn't even see the shadow of a wild goose. Senior Brother Sha said: Brother Wang, won't you? Can you shoot geese here? Didn't shoot much? Wang Lao Er laughed and said that he had figured out the flight path of the wild goose, and he would definitely pass over here later. Seeing that Wang Lao Er said that he had a nose and eyes, we had to believe it. Brother Monkey said: Brother Wang, can you shoot so high? If you don't shoot, then you won't have to eat? Wang Lao Er said don't worry about this, I am a Sagittarius, and my shooting skills will naturally not be bad; To tell you the truth, I used to get guidance from a master who told me the trick of Hou Yi. Houyi, you know, right? the one who shoots the nine suns; He shot all nine suns in one go; I can also shoot multiple arrows at once, but then I won't be able to hit every shot.

Seeing that Wang Lao Er was talking hotly, we didn't want to interrupt his interest, but we just looked at the sky with our eyes, looking forward to the early appearance of the wild geese, otherwise not only Wang Lao Er would have nothing to eat, but even we would have to be hungry. Wang Lao Er said that he would try to shoot three arrows at a time later to see if he could shoot three geese down at one time. It is estimated that Wang Lao Er also thinks that he has a lot to say alone, so he finally said a topic that we can all participate in: I'm sorry, I can't kill sheep to entertain you, those cattle and sheep are my lifeblood, and I still count on them to make money. So the three of us replied almost in unison: "Where are you talking, the guest is as you please." When the wild geese flew in, Senior Brother Sha was the first to find out. Senior Brother Sha said: Look, the wild geese are flying over! At that time, Brother Monkey and I were almost asleep, and we all woke up again when we heard Senior Brother Sha shouting, which shows that Senior Brother Sha's voice is quite loud. Wang Lao Er "shhhhhh Wang Lao Er said that the geese are particularly susceptible to fright, and if they hear about the change of course, then we will be hungry today.

When I looked up, I found that a large group of geese flew over in the shape of a "human", and from time to time made a "quack" sound. Wang Lao Er immediately took off the bow from his back, then took out three arrows from his waist and put them on the bow, and then he didn't move, and aimed the bow and arrow straight into the sky. I thought that the geese flew so densely that even if I threw a stone, I could hit it. Senior Brother Sha said Second Senior Brother, don't look at their formations arranged so closely, that's because they fly high, if you look closely, it is estimated that there are ** ten meters between the adjacent geese. Senior Brother Sha said that if there is no certain wrist strength, the arrow will not be able to shoot so high, if Wang Lao Er can really shoot down a few, then at least it can show that his wrist strength is very good.

Brother Monkey said that the two of you should stop talking, and watch Brother Wang shoot arrows.

When the geese flew over our heads, we saw that it was too late and that it was fast, Wang Lao Er pulled one sharply, and one of his right hands released violently, and the three arrows that had been placed on the bow flew out in one go. After a while, only a few screams were heard, and then several black shadows fell from the sky. At this time, Wang Lao Er was like a real big brother, and commanded us to say: Go and pick up the fallen geese, don't let the wild dogs snatch them away. Brother Monkey said that Lao Sun went to take a look, and then he disappeared. I thought that Wang Lao Er didn't see Brother Monkey disappear suddenly, and if he saw it with his own eyes, he would be so surprised that he couldn't speak. After that, Wang Lao Er took three more arrows and shot them into the sky, only to see that this time several geese also fell. Senior Brother Sha said: Brother Wang, that's enough, this thing can't be put away, it stinks when you put it down. Wang Lao Er said that he was not afraid, as long as he plucked them and dried them, there would be nothing.

Just as Wang Lao Er was about to shoot the arrow with a bow again, he suddenly let go again, probably because he was aware of the meaning of Senior Brother Sha's words; I have found Sisha's kindness and suffering again, and I can't bear to let those geese be shot by Wang Laoer. Brother Monkey began to shout from afar: Wow! It's amazing, ten of them! Yes? Six arrows shot ten? I and Senior Brother Sha both didn't believe it. Wang Lao Er said that there is nothing strange about this, after the arrows go up, the geese are easy to panic, and when they panic, my arrows can hit several at the same time.

Wang Lao Er said that this is not the most powerful, his most powerful is to shoot five geese down with an arrow at a time.

Will it work? I'm a little skeptical.

Why not? When it falls, it's like a lamb skewer, one next to the other.

I thought that such a scene should be spectacular, but my old pig has never had such good luck. It is estimated that "one stone with two eagles, one stone with two eagles" came about in this way, but the current situation is not one stone and two eagles, but one stone and two geese. When Brother Monkey came back, he was carrying five geese in each hand. Wang Lao Er said that enough is enough, enough for a few of us to eat.

After plucking, Wang Lao Er roasted the wild goose to eat, Wang Lao Er said that roasting and eating nutrition can get the greatest protection, stewing and eating is not good, the nearby geese will never pass by here after smelling the smell of their companions, so that we will no longer have wild goose meat to eat in the future. After the roast, Brother Monkey and Wang Lao Er only ate one, Senior Brother Sha ate two, and I ate three alone. Wang Lao Er looked at me with an admiring look and said: You are really good! I said it was nothing, and if you ate it with your belly open, it would be fine to have three more. Wang Lao Er asked very sensitively: In this case, I should go and get the other two, it's not good to be hungry. I hurriedly changed my words and said that I didn't need to, I would hold on if I ate too much, and it was inconvenient to sleep. Brother Monkey said to Wang Laoer: Don't pay attention to him, his stomach is a bottomless pit, no matter how much he can eat. Wang Lao Er said Okay, you can eat to be healthy, I used to be similar to him, but now I can't, so my body can't follow it.

When eating barbecue, Wang Lao Er asked where we came from and where are we going? Brother Monkey said that we came from a far away place, and if we want to go to a far place, we need to keep moving forward. When Wang Lao Er heard that we were going forward, he was very surprised, and said: You should take a detour, it is definitely not possible to go straight. I asked why, but Wang Lao Er stopped talking again, saying that we are outsiders and don't understand the rules here, and some things can't be told to outsiders. After finishing speaking, Wang Lao Er went straight into the tent. So the three of us went in with us. Brother Monkey still asked reluctantly: Why can't you go through the front? We have to go through there to get to our destination. No matter where you are going, you must not set foot in the future, because once you go, you may not be able to save your life. Listening to Wang Laoer's words, the more scary it became, and Senior Brother Sha also asked what was going on. It is estimated that he was impatient with Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha, and Wang Lao Er finally agreed to tell us the truth, but he also warned us: Don't tell outsiders what he said to us, or he won't finish with us. Brother Monkey said Big Brother, don't worry, we are absolutely reliable. Wang Lao Er said: There are three pythons in the cave in front, but no one who passes by there can come back alive; Some time ago, they had sent a few skilled hunters to try to kill them, but in the end they couldn't come back, and they didn't need to ask to know that they were eaten by those pythons.

Therefore, Wang Lao Er said that since then, no one has rushed through there, and even if he wants to go over to get it, he has to take a detour from the other side. Wang Lao Er said that listening to the people of the older generation, it is very likely that the snake has already cultivated to the essence, so everyone can't speak ill of them, otherwise they may retaliate; This is also the reason why Wang Lao Er asked us to keep a secret for him.

Brother Monkey said that I thought it was a big deal, but I see; Lao Sun will go to destroy it for you tomorrow, and then drag it back to make soup for you to drink. I said: Brother Monkey, it's not good to boil soup and drink, it's better to roast it like this to Brother Wang, and it is more fragrant. Seeing that we were talking like bragging, Wang Lao Er hurriedly put his index finger to the side of his lips and "shhh Senior Brother Sha asked: Have there been any retaliations before? Wang Lao Er said that this is not true, but judging by what they do, they are indeed very powerful, and even their top hunters cannot kill them. I wiped the oil from my mouth and said, "Python? The python is a few oldest, even if it has cultivated for a thousand years, it still has to be called my grandfather.

Wang Lao Er said Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, you guys hurry up and rest, I have to go out to feed the cattle and sheep.

Later, I learned that Wang Lao Er did not go to feed his cattle and sheep, but to inform the people in the nearby tents. We don't know what Wang Lao Er told them, but one thing is for sure, Wang Lao Er tried to get the big guy to stop us from moving forward.

Not long after Wang Lao Er went out, there was a shouting outside; Senior Brother Sha is going to go out to take a look, I said don't go to see it, hurry up and rest, tomorrow we have to prepare to fight the python; It's just that Wang Lao Er drove his cattle and sheep back. So in the end, Senior Brother Sha still lay down. However, Senior Brother Sha quickly stood up again. I said, Senior Brother Sha, what are you doing? If you don't sleep for a while, lie down and get up for a while, is it urgent to urinate and want to go to the toilet. Senior Brother Sha didn't speak, but just pointed to the outside of the tent.

I didn't know if I didn't know how to look at it, but I was startled, but I saw that at the entrance of the tent, a bunch of heads were squeezed there, and they were all looking inside. I think the curiosity of the people here is a little too great, they have been watching it for so long before, and now they even have to watch it when they are sleeping. So I shouted at them: Let's go back first, tomorrow morning the old pig will stand outside and let you see enough. The strange thing is that they didn't react at all to what I said, and their heads squeezed even more. I ask Brother Monkey what to do? Brother Monkey said to ignore them, let's let them come and see it.

Just as we were about to sleep with our heads covered, Wang Lao Er came in; I said Brother Wang, you came just in time, hurry up and help them all leave, they can't sleep comfortably watching us sleep here. Wang Lao Er didn't speak, and after coming in, he lowered his head and walked to the side. I wonder what's wrong with this second Wang? He was so enthusiastic about us before, but now he suddenly became cold again? When I looked back again, I found that there were several other people who came in with Wang Laoer, and they all looked at us with a hateful look. I said Brother Monkey, we shouldn't have met a black shop, right? Brother Monkey said fart, where did the black shops come from here, they are all good citizens; Listen to what they have to say. Brother Monkey turned around and asked Wang Er: Brother Wang, what are they ......? Wang Lao Er didn't speak, and the leader who followed him in spoke: Don't ask him, we just want to know if you are going to go and kill those pythons? Brother Monkey nodded in acknowledgement. Then I said, "Who told them to stand in the way?" Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish.

The old man in the lead said, "I don't care where you come from or where you're going, but you must not provoke those pythons." When Brother Monkey asked him why, the old man stopped talking. The old man said that there was only so much he could say, and the rest was to tell us to give us a happy word, whether to go or not. Brother Monkey said that we need to go over to the other side of the mountain, and naturally we have to go through there, which is a reasonable thing, why do you always ask? The old man said that in this case, then we will not be polite. Then he took a few steps back, and with a wave of his hand, the men standing behind him came up to arrest us, apparently intending to imprison us. The old man said, "I'm sorry, I can only grieve you for a while until you change your mind and decide to take a detour from the side." I said, "Hey, old man, you're too overbearing, you have to give us a reasonable explanation."

When I said this, the big men who came had already grabbed us by the shoulders, but none of us resisted. The old man said, "If you want to provoke those pythons, it will surely come and take revenge; And at that time you are no longer here, won't we suffer? So we can't let you go and kill them, especially if you don't have that strength; Didn't Wang Lao Er tell you? The best hunters were eaten by pythons? I can't let you follow in your footsteps. When I turned my head to look at Wang Lao Er, Wang Lao Er looked very embarrassed, as if he had done something wrong. Brother Monkey said: According to what you say, don't you believe that we have that ability? The old man said that we don't care whether you have the ability or not, but we can't ruin the peace of the whole plain because of your persistence. Brother Monkey said: Not only do we have to go over and fight with the pythons, but we also have to drag their corpses back to make soup for everyone to drink. The old man said that no matter whether you are bragging or not, you can't go in front of you anyway.

After the old man finished speaking, he motioned to the people who grabbed us to continue their work. Brother Monkey said: Slow! Seeing that Brother Monkey said very harshly, everyone stood up again. Brother Monkey turned to me and said: "Idiot, they don't believe in our ability, you show them with both hands, let the big guy know that my grandson is not talking empty words." I'm a little embarrassed because I don't know what to show them. Senior Brother Sha said Second Senior Brother, you can just do it on the hour, just like we used to perform on the streets. So I picked up a big stone from the ground and pinched it in the palm of my hand, as Brother Monkey used to do, and the stone became shattered at once. This trick really worked, and they were stunned. Brother Monkey said: It's nothing, we have more powerful moves. After Brother Monkey finished speaking, he turned around in place, and turned into an old man with gray hair. Sure enough, they next to them were even more stunned. Brother Monkey said: What's the matter, you know how powerful we are, right? Why don't you release them quickly? Only then did the old man wave to the men standing behind us to withdraw.

The old man walked to Brother Monkey suspiciously, and Brother Monkey said that you are old and light, and the old grandson is most afraid of itching. Seeing the old man and the suspicious eyes of the surrounding audience, Brother Monkey said that these are all true, let's all have real kung fu, have you seen "Journey to the West"? That's a few of our leading actors. The old man still looked at us with a suspicious look. I said Brother Monkey, don't be funny, where do they know about "Journey to the West", we are basically people between different time and space. Brother Monkey thought for a while and said yes, Lao Sun forgot. After that, the old man left with everyone, needless to say, they all acquiesced to our progress; Of course, it is not okay for them not to acquiesce, because they are not our opponents, and this world speaks with strength, and power represents everything.

When they first went out, I shouted behind them: "Remember to boil the water when you wake up tomorrow morning, we will get those two pythons back soon." As soon as everyone left, Wang Lao Er trembled. Brother Monkey walked over and asked him what was wrong? Wang Lao Er said I'm really sorry, I have a lot of intentions to offend you, but I just don't want everyone to suffer. I said: Brother Wang, where are you talking about, what are you sorry for, if you want to leave this matter on the old pig, I will do the same as you. Brother Monkey said: What a big deal! Makes perfect sense! Wang Lao Er saw that we didn't care about the previous suspicions, and said: I really didn't expect a few people to be so skilled, and the little ones really have eyes and don't know Mount Tai. Brother Monkey said don't make trouble, we're not Taishan. I said to Brother Monkey: We both showed our hands in front of them just now, do you want Senior Brother Sha to play again? Brother Monkey said: Do you think this is playing monkey? Juggling? We're just showing our hands to let them know we're not bragging; Now I want Senior Brother Sha to play two tricks, who will show it? Senior Brother Sha said: Yes! Oh, yes! Anyway, the glory is everyone's.

Wang Lao Er looked very excited, and he said that he had never seen such a powerful person as we were.

I said: It's not bragging, even hundreds of big men are not my opponents of Brother Monkey, even the lions and tigers have to call him grandpa when they see him. Brother Monkey said: Idiot, don't talk nonsense, how can a lion and a tiger call me grandpa? We're not related? Senior Brother Sha said: Yes, the lion and the tiger can't call Brother Monkey grandpa, at most they can only call grandpa. Wang Lao Er said: It's really lucky to meet you, come, let's have two drinks! After speaking, Wang Lao Er stood up, probably wanting to get wine. Brother Monkey said no, we have to go to a duel with the python tomorrow, what if we get drunk? Wang Lao Er said that it must be fine, only a little less, and the degree of this wine is not very high. Senior Brother Sha said forget it, it's rare that Brother Wang is so interested, let's have two drinks with him. Originally, my drowsiness had come before, and now I drank a little wine, so I immediately felt dizzy. I said you drink first, and the old pig will go to sleep. Wang Lao Er still wanted to persuade him, but Senior Brother Sha said: My second senior brother has this habit, and he has to go to bed after drinking some wine; Let's leave him alone, let's drink ours.

I don't know when they went to sleep, but they hadn't gotten up when I got up.

I crawled to Brother Monkey's side and pushed him, and shouted while pushing: Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey! Get up! We're going to be late!

Then I climbed up to Senior Brother Sha again, and shouted while pushing: Senior Brother Sha! Senior Brother Sha! Get up! The sun is soaking your butt. Senior Brother Sha is relatively easy to wake up, and he was answering as soon as I finished shouting: It's okay, I still want to bask in the sun for a while. Brother Monkey woke up when he turned around, and Brother Monkey asked where he was late? Didn't we promise them to kill the python today yesterday? The old pigs have already asked them to boil water and prepare, if we don't go again, won't we be late? They're going to blame us. Brother Monkey said that it was okay, if there was any problem, he would carry it and let him sleep for a while.

I had to go out alone, and after I went out, I found that many people were looking into our tent, and it was estimated that they had already boiled the boiling water, just waiting for us to behave. I felt embarrassed to be out there alone, so I quickly got inside again. By the time they all woke up, it was almost noon. Brother Monkey said, idiot, why don't you wake us up? I said that the old pig called you, but you would not get up. Senior Brother Sha said Oh, it's not good, when is it time for us to get up, hurry up and kill the python, and then we have to move on. Brother Monkey is right, let's go now.

Wang Lao Er got up before Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha, and Wang Lao Er said: What do you have for breakfast? Senior Brother Sha said no need, you hurry up and boil the water, and then stew the snake meat and eat it. Although Wang Lao Er was skeptical, he still went out with a bucket to fetch water.

As soon as we went out, many people immediately gathered from behind Wang Laoer's tent. Brother Monkey asked what was wrong? Do you still want us to show our hands? At this time, the old man who led the way last night appeared, and it seemed that he was the boss here. The old man said, "They are here to help you; They're going to go with you and kill those pythons. Brother Monkey smiled and said no need, but what should they do or what should they do, it is more than enough for the three of us to get those pythons. It is estimated that it is useless for the old man to think about it, so in the end he had to wave his hand to let those people go back. Brother Monkey said slowly. The old man asked what was wrong? Have you changed your mind? Brother Monkey said that his mind would not change, but he just wanted to borrow something from them. What is it? The old man asked. Dagger! Brother Monkey said. Dagger? The old man looked puzzled. I said Brother Monkey, don't play word games with them, the knife will say knife, what a dagger. Sure enough, as soon as he heard the word "knife", the old man immediately called the people who had left to come back, and then asked them to take out the knives on their bodies and give them to us. But Brother Monkey didn't want them all, but chose three more petite and sharp ones for us to hide. The old man said that it was really strange, so many big knives and sharp ones you don't choose, but choose those small ones. Brother Monkey said that you don't have to worry about this, Lao Sun is useful. I said don't be stunned, go back and boil the water, and stew the snake meat later.

When the old man was leaving, he said, "Be careful." Brother Monkey said that he knew, but he still didn't believe in our level? Brother Monkey didn't even ask for a guide, but asked the old man to point us to a sunny avenue, and the old man said that as long as you follow the road, you can see the mountain, and those pythons are all in the cave.

After saying goodbye to the old man, we headed in the direction he said. When we left, Wang Lao Er happened to come back from fetching water outside. Wang Lao Er shouted from afar: Brothers, be careful! After walking for about half an hour, I saw a mountain in front of me in the distance. I just didn't see where the cave was. Senior Brother Sha said Of course, Second Senior Brother, if we can see it from such a distance, then how big that cave should be. I was right to think about it, so I finally had to walk with my head down. When we walked up to the mountain, we realized that this was not a "mountain", it was just a mound of stones and dirt. I guess it was a project around here in the past, and all the dirt was piled up here.

Although it is a mound, the area is still relatively large, and we have been around it for a long time before we have only turned a corner of it. Brother Monkey said let's go, climb up to see what is going on. I asked Brother Monkey: Let's all three go up? Brother Monkey said that what else is it if you don't do that? Could it be that you are watching the excitement below, and I will go up with Senior Brother Sha to go on an adventure? I said Brother Monkey, you want to be crooked, the old pig just wants to observe the situation for you below, in case there is any accident, the old pig can help again. Brother Monkey said fart, say some bad words, how do you know what's going on before you skim the eight characters? Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, don't be afraid, let's go up together and take care of it; Three people are better than two. I said, who's scared? The old pig only intends to stay below from the perspective of the overall situation, and since you don't agree, then the old pig will go up with you.

When I was halfway up the mountain, a large hole suddenly appeared in front of me. The reason why it appears suddenly is because the entrance to the cave is under a large rock, and it is impossible to see clearly if you don't look closer; The large stone was stuck across the top of the cave like a hat brim, sheltering the cave from the wind and rain. Brother Monkey bent down and sniffed back and forth carefully, and then said in a very positive tone: The python must be in here. I thought that these pythons really knew how to choose the address, and actually set up their nest in such a secret and comfortable hole. Senior Brother Sha was about to go in and take a look, but was pulled out by Brother Monkey. Brother Monkey said you don't want to die? How dare you go in like this, what if those guys are really good? I said it's okay, generally pythons are poisonous with a hat brim. Brother Monkey said that it won't work, a few pythons can hang a few of us alive if they circle, let alone one person. Senior Brother Sha asked Brother Monkey what to do? Brother Monkey said that there is no hurry first, knowing that the other is invincible, let's lead them out first, and then decide to act after finding out their bottom. Senior Brother Sha said: Well, that's an easy thing to do*.

But how to seduce the python out has become a new problem. I said it's not easy, why don't you just throw a few rocks from the outside? Brother Monkey said then you try it, anyway, Lao Sun doesn't think it's okay. So I picked up a half-hundred-pound stone and threw it into the hole, only to hear a "pop" sound, followed by a dull rolling sound of the stone. After a while I saw that there was no movement in the cave, so I picked up a stone similar to the one I had hit before, and threw it into it; After that, I threw it ten more times in a row, and there was still no movement in the hole. Brother Monkey said what, Lao Sun said that it is not so easy, these guys are very inert, and they will not come out unless they have to. Senior Brother Sha said that what should be done?

After thinking for a while, Brother Monkey asked Senior Brother Sha and me to pick some half-dry and half-wet weeds and branches. I was very curious and asked Brother Monkey what he wanted those things for. Brother Monkey said don't ask so much first, and Lao Sun will tell you after he gets it back. As a last resort, Senior Brother Sha and I had to go down the mountain to find half-dry and half-wet weeds and branches.

After a long time, Senior Brother Sha and I finally collected two large hugs of half-dry and half-wet weeds and branches; Originally, Senior Brother Sha planned to get some more, saying that he was afraid that it would not be enough. I said don't worry, Brother Monkey just wants to use these grass and branches as bait to lure those pythons out, a little is enough, what does it mean. Senior Brother Sha asked in surprise: Does the python eat these things? I said that this old pig doesn't know, wait and see Brother Monkey, anyway, it's his idea, let's just help fight it, don't worry so much.

Sure enough, Brother Monkey told us to put the weeds and branches at the entrance of the cave. I asked Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, do you think those pythons will eat these things? We might as well go back and catch a few chickens or sheep, the effect may be better, although the loss is relatively large, but I believe that for the sake of everyone's interests, they will agree to do it. Eat these? Pythons eat these? Brother Monkey asked in surprise. I said yes, don't you want the pythons to come out and graze and meet them? Brother Monkey said, idiot, are you mistaken, pythons, how can they eat such messy things? Didn't you hear from Wang Lao Er that all the hunters they sent over had disappeared? Doesn't that mean that these pythons are eating people? Senior Brother Sha said, then what did you tell us to do with these weeds and branches? Brother Monkey said that he was just trying to force those pythons out with a smoked square*. Senior Brother Sha said: Oh, that's really a good idea. Brother Monkey has begun to assign tasks.

Brother Monkey asked Senior Brother Sha to go to the side to pull up a small tree, and then break it and grind one of the ends into a sharp shape, in case the python will hurt us when it comes out; Brother Monkey told me to go to the other side of the mountain, saying that I should pay close attention to the movement of smoke, and once I found it, I should report it as soon as possible, and prevent the attack of pythons. Brother Monkey said that the place where the smoke came out needless to say was another exit from the python cave. I said I know, if the python runs out of me, you two must go over to help. Brother Monkey said this, don't worry, the purpose of our coming here today is to kill them, and we must not be greedy for life or afraid of death. When Brother Monkey said this, he was impassioned, and the old pig felt his blood boiling. I walked out of breath and didn't see a cave, so I shouted to the other side of the mountain: Brother Monkey, hurry up and light the fire, the old pig can't find the exit. Brother Monkey said Okay, you have to look carefully, don't let those two pythons escape.

Just as I was looking around, I suddenly saw smoke rising from a depression in front of me, so I quickly ran over, and after a closer look, it was indeed a cave. So I ran to the place where I had shouted to Brother Monkey before, and shouted to Brother Monkey again: Brother Monkey, the old pig has found the cave. Brother Monkey said that then you should hurry up and stay there, and you must not let the python slip away. I said yes, and then turned around and prepared to go back.

Before leaving, Brother Monkey's voice came again: Idiot, next time there is something to do, you don't have to run so far, you can hear it by shouting loudly at the entrance of the cave. I think Brother Monkey has a lot of ghost ideas, so won't the cave become a microphone? What a great idea. When I walked to the cave again, the smoke was bigger and thicker than before, and I wanted to say a few words to Brother Monkey, but I couldn't get closer, because the smoke was so strong.

I also broke a small tree like Senior Brother Sha did, and then polished it to a sharp shape, and then stared at the entrance of the cave motionlessly. Just when I was frightened, there was a sudden sound of rustling from the entrance of the cave, and at first I thought it was a python coming out, so I immediately set up a position; But then I listened carefully, only to find out that it was not what I had guessed, but the shouts of Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha, and this time I heard it really. I'm thinking about it, the python has found the mastermind who is going to kill them, otherwise why don't they run to my old pig? After listening for a while, I shouted into the cave: Brother Monkey, do you want the old pig to come over and help? After shouting, I only heard an echo from inside, and then there was no movement. I thought about not going back first, lest I have to be scolded by him again after I go back without Brother Monkey's instructions. After a while, Brother Monkey's voice finally came: Nerd, hurry up and help! Although the sound is very quiet, the surroundings are relatively quiet, so you can hear it more clearly.

I got Brother Monkey's instructions, so I decided to rush to the other side of the mountain. See, my old pig has always done some errand work and strength work; Even now it is no exception. I didn't see Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha when I went over, and it wasn't until I stood on a relatively prominent stone that I saw them looking around below. I asked loudly, "Senior Brother Monkey Sha, what are you doing there?" Brother Monkey didn't speak, still looking around there, Senior Brother Sha turned around and said, "We're looking for a python!" Boa? Isn't the python in a hole? It's gone, it's run out. Senior Brother Sha replied. I said Brother Monkey, you are really, and told me not to let the python run away, and now you yourself let the python slip away from you. Senior Brother Sha said Second Senior Brother, you should say a few words, Brother Monkey, he is also quite deliberate.

According to Senior Brother Sha's words, it didn't take long for the smoke to come out, and then a smaller python came out. Senior Brother Sha said that it was very likely that there were only these three pythons in this cave, and they were still a family. After sitting on the stone for a while, Brother Monkey said let's go. Where to go? Brother Monkey said to go back to Zhuangzi, now the python will definitely not come back for a while, let's come back in the evening. At night? Coming back? Brother Monkey said otherwise? If you want, just sit here and wait for them to come back. I thought it would be safer to go back with Brother Monkey, so I finally came back with them. I thought it was hard to tell them that we couldn't catch the python when I went back, so when I went back, I walked at the back of the line, and Brother Monkey walked at the front of the line.

From afar, we saw many people standing outside their tents, staring at us. I said Brother Monkey, we are not very easy to explain this time, we asked them to boil water to prepare to stew snake meat, but now we haven't even grabbed the hair of a python. Brother Monkey said you should explain it to them yourself, but you told them that. Senior Brother Sha said that it doesn't matter, let's tell them the cause and effect of the incident 1510, I believe they can understand it. That's all I have to think about. Seeing that they were all dumbfounded, I looked very embarrassed, and waved at them as I walked to the tent of the second king. Brother Monkey said that you can be a fool, don't make it look like a presidential parade, it looks very annoying.

Wang Lao Er asked: Ran away?

Senior Brother Sha said: Ran away.

Fortunately, Wang Lao Er didn't say anything cool, but said hurriedly while Zhang Luo sat down: It's good to come back. The old man came in with another group of people. Wang Lao Er introduced that he is the most prestigious old man here, equivalent to the village chief or something, but they are not called the village head, and there is no village head position, as long as everyone thinks he can do it, then he will have the final say on major decisions in the future, and it is completely voluntary work. Seeing that the old man was coming, Brother Monkey hurriedly stood up and said hello. The old man said, "Sit, sit." Brother Monkey said: I'm sorry, let's let those pythons run away; But don't worry, we've figured out the specifics of those pythons, and we'll go back after it gets dark, and we'll definitely get them back then. The old man nodded and said, "It's good for you to come back, none of the people who went to trouble them before have been able to come back, I fully believe in your ability; But be careful yourself. Brother Monkey said that you can rest assured about this, we don't take them seriously yet. I also hurriedly helped and said: Yes! Oh, yes! I think that when we were officials in the Heavenly Court, the old dragon king was polite when he saw us, not to mention the python? As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed that the big guys were looking at me with a strange look. Brother Monkey said stupid, what are you talking about? It's useless to talk about it. Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, if you tell them this, they won't understand, even a few pythons they regard as gods, how can they understand what sounds so bizarre to them? I'm right, isn't telling them this tantamount to playing the piano to a cow? Brother Monkey said you don't have to worry, you will definitely succeed tonight. The old man asked if we still want help? Brother Monkey said no, it is estimated that no one wants to go at this time even if he needs help, so let's go alone. The old man said well, you can rest first, and if you need help, come and tell me, and I will send the strongest assistant to help you; My house is in the middle of the new tent, and you just have to keep walking ahead to see it. Brother Monkey said okay, then thank you.

Then the old man got up and took his leave, and the men who had followed him in gradually withdrew.

Seeing Wang Lao Er standing next to him all the time, Brother Monkey said: What are you always standing for? Sit down! At this time, I found that Wang Laoer's tent was full of smoke, and I asked him what was going on? Wang Lao Er said weakly: "Well, didn't you ask me to boil water and prepare stewed meat to eat in the morning?" The water had been boiling for most of the day, and the room was filled with water vapor. I felt very embarrassed after listening to Wang Laoer's words, so I said to him: You quickly put out the fire, so as not to waste the dye. Wang Lao Er said that I don't need to see it. Why, I ask? Wang Lao Er said that it was almost noon now, and he had to get food. We actually tossed for half a day just now? Senior Brother Sha said that there is something strange about this, the time to do things always flies quickly. Wang Lao Er told us to sit down for a while, and he went out to hunt some game and came back. I was going to go with him, but Wang Lao Er said that he told me to stay and rest, and he was still waiting to eat snake meat. Brother Monkey said that if you are a nerd, don't keep getting involved, hunting is a matter of mental concentration, and if you follow it, won't it disturb the spirit of other people? Wang Lao Er said that it was nothing, but it was important for you to rest at present, because there was a python in front of you, so everyone did not dare to pass by there; If you kill them, the lifeline of the big guy will be extended a little more; According to your efforts, it will definitely work. When Wang Lao Er said this, he was categorical.

I asked Wang Lao Er what does "the lifeline of the big guy extend" mean? Wang Lao Er replied that as long as the python is killed, then they can drive the cattle and sheep to the other side of the mountain to graze, wouldn't that extend our lifeline? It turned out that Wang Lao Er used a figurative sentence. When Wang Lao Er came back again, he carried a few pheasants on his back. This time, instead of roasting and eating them again, we suggested that Wang Lao Er stew them and eat them. In the afternoon, the old man also came once, and unlike the last time, he came alone this time. The old man asked: Do you want a helper? It's really annoying for me to think about this old man, Brother Monkey has already said a thousand times that he doesn't want it, why is he still so abrasive? Brother Monkey said let's see when the time comes, in case we don't have enough ability, we will send someone back to inform you when the time comes. The sky gradually darkened, Brother Monkey calculated, and said that the python had almost entered the hole at this time, we had to hurry over, and we had to make some preparations while it was still early.

After that, we said goodbye to Wang Laoer, and Wang Laoer said that my brother should be careful if he is tens of millions. Brother Monkey said I know, you go in quickly, the soju is cold. I said Brother Monkey, isn't it a bit of a rush for us to come with just three people? What if we can't do it? Brother Monkey said that you don't have to worry about this, Lao Sun has his own way*, and he is confident. Senior Brother Sha asked Brother Monkey what preparations he had to make? Brother Monkey said that he can't say it yet, if the python is in trouble after hearing our conversation in those days, won't we go back empty-handed again? When you get there, Lao Sun will naturally say it. I think that Brother Monkey is really good at prevaricating people, and he actually believes that pythons can understand human speech, and he is thousands of meters away.

We had been here in the morning, so we were able to get to the hill very quickly. As soon as he arrived at the top of the mountain, Brother Monkey began to assign tasks: he and Senior Brother Sha went to look for stones, and I went to the bottom of the mountain to still find some half-dry and half-wet weeds and branches to come up. I said Brother Monkey, you are really bullying my old pig, I obviously went with Senior Brother Sha in the morning, why do you want me to go alone now? Senior Brother Sha also said: Yes, Brother Monkey, let me go with the second senior brother, when will he get it alone? Brother Monkey said Okay, you two go and come back quickly, and you will have to help move the stones later. Senior Brother Sha asked Brother Monkey why he was moving stones? Brother Monkey said that he can't say this first, but the movements must be neat, and when the python finds out, our plan will be in vain. After that, Senior Brother Sha and I went down to look for weeds and branches, because we had looked for them before, so it took a short time. When we came back, we saw Brother Monkey sitting on a big rock. I said Brother Monkey, it's good for you to tell us to run around and sit here to rest. Brother Monkey said nonsense, let's start working now, and after a while, it is estimated that the python will sense it.

Brother Monkey told us to follow him to a big rock, and told us to work together to move this big stone to the back of the snake cave, where I was guarding in the morning. Senior Brother Sha asked Brother Monkey why he had to move so far, wouldn't it be easier to find a piece of land nearby? Brother Monkey said no, he just walked around the neighborhood and found that only this stone just met his requirements. I said to Senior Brother Sha indignantly: Brother Monkey just likes to play tricks on people, anyway, he doesn't need to do it himself, he can do whatever he says. Brother Monkey said, idiot, if you say a few more words, believe it or not, Lao Sun will cut off your tongue. If you don't say it, you won't say it, and you have to scare people! Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, let's listen to Senior Brother's arrangement, doesn't he also want to move stones with us? After we had painstakingly moved the big rock to the entrance of the cave, Brother Monkey instructed us to stuff it into the hole. Senior brother, are you trying to block this way out of the python? Senior Brother Sha asked. Brother Monkey said yes, in that case, the three of us only need to guard the other side of the snake cave alone. Senior Brother Sha said that this was really a good idea. It's a bad idea. Brother Monkey was very angry when he heard this, and wanted to come up and pull my ears, but I ran away very cleverly.

After blocking this side, Brother Monkey led us to the other side of the cave, that is, the side that Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha guarded together in the morning. Brother Monkey told me to prepare for battle with Senior Brother Sha next to him, and he himself walked to the entrance of the cave to toss, but he didn't light the fire. Senior Brother Sha was very curious and asked Brother Monkey what he was doing? Brother Monkey "shh The entrance to the cave is very smooth, like an asphalt road; I saw Brother Monkey pull a small pit out of the ground with the knife he brought, and then buried the sharp knife with the blade facing up. After that, Brother Monkey smashed the soil around the knife with a stone, and then Brother Monkey jumped back, turned around and went to get the branches and grass and put them at the entrance of the cave.

When Brother Monkey was doing this, Senior Brother Sha and I were standing next to him, each holding the sharp trunk that he had used to guard against in the morning. The branches and weeds were set on fire, and in an instant, billowing smoke began to spread; Of course, most of the smoke went into the cave. Brother Monkey is also as strict as we are. After a while there was movement at the entrance to the cave, and smoke was coming out; Brother Monkey said pay attention, this is a precursor to the python coming out.

Sure enough, as soon as Brother Monkey's words were finished, we saw a big snake head exposed. I saw that the snake's head probed his head and looked at it for a while, and then he was about to slip away, but when Senior Brother Sha was about to rush up to fight it, Brother Monkey grabbed him. As soon as Senior Brother Sha squatted down, he only heard a "poof" sound, and the huge python flipped to our side, motionless, with blood still flowing on his body, and it seemed to be dead; When Senior Brother Sha and I were still stunned, the second python also came out, and like the first python, it still probed its head and looked at it for a while before it began to crawl out. Like the python that overturned beside us, this second python also fell next to us after a "poof" sound, and then it was also motionless, with blood on its body, and it seemed to be dead and warped.

Senior Brother Sha and I were going to go over to see what was going on, but Brother Monkey quietly said Wait a minute, and we will act when the little python comes out. But until almost midnight, I didn't see the little python come out. I said Brother Monkey, forget it, they can handle a little python king and the second child, let's go back early. Senior Brother Sha also said yes, it is only these two big pythons that harm people, and the little python is innocent; Now that the leader is dying, the villagers have nothing to fear. Brother Monkey thought about it for a while, probably thinking that what we said was very reasonable, so he decided to go home. At this time, we walked to the two that had fallen to the side, only to find out that they were really dead. Brother Monkey is talking nonsense, if they are not dead, they are still here waiting for us to catch them?

Senior Brother Sha asked: How did they die?

Brother Monkey said that this is not simple, and then explained it to us.

It turned out that it was all thanks to the sharp knife that Brother Monkey buried in the ground in the center of the cave; Brother Monkey said that he knew that pythons had a habit of being particularly vigilant when they came out of the hole, often sticking out their heads to look left and right to see if there was any enemy, and at that time the python's head was held high and did not touch the ground; But when the python has finished exploring the outside situation, it will slip out, at that time it will put its head down, and the sharp knife buried by Brother Monkey has just been at the entrance of the hole, and when the python hangs its head down, the sharp knife is bound to ** its body, and the python is bound to desperately flee forward after feeling the pain, so that the sharp knife will open the python's intestines and break its stomach by the way.

I see! What a cleverness! Senior Brother Sha was amazed when he heard this.

Brother Monkey said that there is only one small python left, and it is estimated that these two big pythons arranged it in another place in the morning. Senior Brother Sha said to care about it, anyway, these two big pythons are already dead, and they won't dare to come here again in the future. Brother Monkey is reasonable, let's go and call Wang Lao Er and them to help now, and then we will continue to hurry.

When the villagers heard that the python was killed by us, they were very surprised, and almost all the old and young rushed over to see the excitement. Wang Lao Er said that these two are really big, and I have never seen them in my life. Brother Monkey said that if they waited a few more years, maybe they would become sperm. Of course, Brother Monkey is to scare them. Wang Lao Er said how long do we have to eat such a big snake. Brother Monkey said don't worry, the big guy eats slowly, and what do you do to make snake meat when it's dried.
