Chapter 31: The Flute and the Viper

"The snake repellent herb has arrived, and I haven't seen the current situation, and we are not prepared for any unexpected situation. Let's withdraw first. Li Yueqin said decisively. There will be no objection to what is said. They guarded each other back to back, and slowly retreated along the original road towards the mountain village in the group of snakes.

As they left the road to the spring, the serpents who had been commanded did not come any way, and the vipers who stood in their way dispersed, unwilling to rush into the smoke of the repellent snakes. As they got closer and closer to the village of Viper, the snakes all disappeared from view.

He Ming exhaled. Li Yueqin smiled at him: "Thank you very much, you really worked hard this time." ”

He Ming hurriedly replied: "Where is it, I don't thank you for saving my life, how can I worry about this little thing." ”

Li Yueqin said: "The people who came from Beach were all so grandiose that people had nothing to say. The Viper Mountain Village is not safe yet, but I would suggest that you leave here, preferably with someone who is willing to leave. ”

He Ming said stubbornly: "Viper Mountain Village is a very good place, if there is danger, unless everyone leaves, I will not be willing to leave by myself." And I can't go back to Beechcraft, I'm just afraid that you will dislike me for bothering here. ”

Seeing He Ming's insistence, Li Yueqin nodded at him and didn't say anything more. After taking He Ming back to the mountain village, she put away the herbs collected by the two of them, and she went back to her house to make new snake repellent medicines.

And He Ming is inconvenient to follow, although he still wants to know the story of the millennium here. He Ming was cleared up in the village, he felt really bored, there was always a danger outside the mountain village, and he didn't dare to go out hunting until he was familiar with the situation, so he went to the villager with a familiar face to help him do some farm work.

In the village of Viper, where the seasons are unknown, crops are only planted with precipitation, and as long as the weather is good, there will be a harvest at any time, and if the year is not good, it will be very difficult. Therefore, in such a good year, the villagers will be busy with more farm work and try to save more grain before the dry season.

When He Ming came to the villager's field, he went up to pull out the grass with him, and talked with the villagers at the same time.

This uncle's surname is Ma, it is said that the ancestors and the current powerful Ma family in Tucheng are still a family, the villagers here are all bold and cheerful, hospitable, and they know everything about He Ming's curiosity, and soon what they can learn there is in He Ming's ears, but I don't know how true or how false.

It is rumored that in ancient times, some people had seen the starting point poisonous snake, but in addition to being extremely poisonous, this snake was very shy, always avoiding people, and it was very territorial, and there would be no other snakes in a large area where there were white snakes.

Eight or nine years ago, two groups of people from Beech's side passed through the Viper Valley and went to Mengzhong, and the first group was in a hurry, only landing on their feet and leaving quickly.

And the second group of people is very responsible for solving a lot of hidden dangers here, and the fortification against snakes in the village was built by them. For the safety of the mountain village, they also eliminated a lot of poisonous snakes near this side, and some people speculated that the changes in the poisonous snakes now had something to do with their killing at that time.

The events of ancient times are vague and unbelievable legends, except that the perennial vipers in the valley separate the city from the natural barrier between Beach City and this side.

Looking at Uncle Ma's land, he talked and laughed with other villagers while pulling weeds, and it didn't take much effort at all. He Ming helped only to find that it was fundamentally different from what it looked like, although he moved very fast, but he always did not do it well, either the grass was not uprooted well, or it was too hard to bring it to the crops.

When it was more serious, it was effortless to see others, he helped busy for an afternoon, and found that he couldn't straighten his waist at all, and this bending over to busy farm work felt ten times more tiring than posing and practicing swords!

Seeing He Ming holding his waist and dying, the people of the Ma family happily prepared dinner for him, and everyone spent it in a happy atmosphere, among which Uncle Ma also told He Ming a lot of farm skills.

This environment is better than anywhere He Ming used to live, and He Ming suddenly felt that it would be better to stop dancing and swords, and just live in this small place? No conspiracy, no suspicions, simple and calm.

After dinner and bidding farewell to the Ma family, He Ming returned to his wooden house, and behind closed doors, his mind returned to those poisonous snakes. This small village can live in peace, and it is inevitable to get along well with those poisonous snakes.

And the legendary seven-point viper is not the same thing as what he sees today, okay? Not only do they live in groups, but they also have the ability to manipulate and command other snakes. With uneasiness, He Ming decided that Li Yueqin would talk to her after she had prepared the medicine, and the sense of distress in He Ming's heart made him unable to let go.

He Ming got up early the next morning, ready to wander around the village, to see whose grass was longer in the field, he could help pull it, and turned to the side of the mountain near where Li Yueqin lived.

After the flute stopped, He Ming, who was immersed in it, seemed to be able to hear a trace of indescribable feeling in it, but he didn't understand the rhythm, he just felt that it was more beautiful and beautiful to mix in that feeling. He sat there like a wooden sculpture for a long time.

After the sun rose, He Ming went to help the villagers do some farm work as usual, and after a short time he and most of the people in the village got to know him, He Ming was also diligent, and soon everyone liked him.

According to the hunters in the village, poisonous snakes rarely appear in the woodland northeast of the village chief, which is a good place for hunting, so He Ming can go to do his more suitable work: hunting, for him, the farm work in the busy field is much more difficult than hunting.

Every morning, He Ming would sneak down the mountain to listen to the sound of the flute, and not only did he help the villagers work everywhere, but also wrote down the prey from time to time to distribute it to everyone, and everyone in the village regarded him as his own and never saw him again. Of course, he still finds time to hone his martial arts every day, and during the time he came to Viper Mountain Village, his various martial arts have become more proficient.

At noon that day, He Ming packed up the house, put on his equipment, and was about to go out as usual to see if he could find any prey, when he was walking towards the entrance of the village when he suddenly heard a peasant woman's scream: "Help!" Snake! ”

The people of Viper Mountain Village were not very afraid of snakes, they had seen a lot, so he hurriedly ran over to the sound, only to find that many snakes had crossed the fence and swam towards the village!

These snakes in broad daylight actually attacked the mountain village? He Ming told them to retreat into the fortifications as he went to the rest of the village to inform the villagers.

As the serpents hissed louder and louder, the creeps became involuntarily creepy, and more and more villagers received the news. In the midst of the panicked noise, Li Yueqin ran down the mountain.

She swayed the smoke of snake repellent while beckoning people to gather and dodge, wielding demon subduing, sword light everywhere, and accurately killing a tiger snake that rushed over regardless of the snake repellent fog, her orderly defense and escape, which was obviously much more useful than He Ming's shouting.

However, many poisonous snakes that were not affected by snake repellent drugs rushed towards this side, in order to protect those old and weak and children, Li Yueqin instantly fell into danger, in addition to several snakes surrounding her, there was also a seven-point poisonous snake sneaking up to her side.

The seven-point poisonous snake was sneaky and silent, and it was about to bite Li Yueqin's foot. He Ming ignored the snakes around him, shouted, and jumped over several poisonous snakes at once, and the frost was too much, making this white snake into two sections. Only then did Li Yueqin realize that a white snake was about to bite her, so she showed a grateful look to He Ming and continued to join the battle.

Fortunately, the poisonous snake mountain village has also dealt with snakes a lot over the years, although this kind of attack has never dealt with such a large group of poisonous snakes, but it has long been prepared to deal with it, and everyone has some experience in dealing with poisonous snakes.

After paying some casualties, everyone moved to that special fortification, and the perimeter of the fortification was lit up with a ring of flames, and with the medicine to repel snakes, the snakes were helpless.

People hurriedly gathered the wounded, and those who were not poisoned were treated with gold sore medicine and bandages, while those who were poisoned were treated by several doctors and Li Yueqin. In the end, except for a few people who were bitten by the seven-point white snake, the others were fine.

Counting the five villagers who failed to escape into the fortifications, there are also seven who have been hit by seven points of snake venom and cannot be detoxified temporarily. The bereaved villagers also insisted on vigilance and did not even express their grief. Li Yueqin looked at this distance with a sad face. He Ming was anxious but had nowhere to go.

The snakes roamed the village for a day and a night, and did not slowly recede until dawn the next day. The villagers prepared as they cleaned up the mess and began to make more preparations to prevent the vipers from attacking again.

I was tossed around like this for a day and a night, and I couldn't work on such a day suitable for farming. Looking at Li Yueqin, who was full of sorrow and stopped talking, He Ming involuntarily came to her side.

No matter how much happened, in He Ming's young heart, this heroic and feminine woman was still the fairy who floated out of the clouds and mist. Seeing her like this, He Ming felt unspeakably uncomfortable, but he couldn't say what it felt, there was no place for He Ming in this world, and everything in this village was what He Ming had to give up everything to protect now!

Li Yueqin, who couldn't show no confidence in front of the villagers, couldn't hide the anxiety in her heart. Seeing He Ming coming, she shifted her mind to avoid her anxiety from affecting others. This day and night is actually the most tired person.

She said to He Ming: "I'm really sorry to involve you in this danger." Our Li family has guarded the Viper Mountain Village for so many generations, and maybe this is the end of it. ”
