The cold hook dug deep into the flesh.

The severe pain made me feel a lot more sober.

Soon, a powerful pull from the hook lifted me out of the water and sped away in a certain direction.

I started to feel that something was wrong, that if a snake had claws, it shouldn't be so small.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the snake churning in front of him, and he was constantly being pulled backwards.

Soon, my body jerked into a soft, yet warm embrace, and a pair of strong arms held me tightly.

"How are you? Is the injury serious? ”

A familiar voice sounded in my ears, and the faces of the people in front of me gradually became clear, with a snow-white bald head and a handsome face, it was Yan Xiaoying on the embankment.

It turned out that I was chasing with the snake just now, and before I knew it, I was close to the embankment, and finally the snake was thrown out of the water.

Seeing that my situation was dangerous, Yan Xiaoying threw out her iron claws and hooked me ashore.

It's very simple to say, in fact, I was still dozens of meters away from the embankment at that time, if Yan Xiaoying's flying claws couldn't be thrown that far, or if they missed, then my little life would have been buried in the belly of the snake.

Thankfully, she did.

At this time, the rain is much lighter, but the flood will not stop for a while.

Under the white skylight, I looked at Yan Xiaoying's bald head, and suddenly felt that she was actually quite handsome with such a hairstyle.

"The water monster is coming, everyone prepare!"

At this moment, someone on the embankment suddenly shouted.

I was stunned, and with Yan Xiaoying's support, I turned around and looked at the embankment, and the whole person was suddenly a little confused.

I saw dozens of people standing densely on the embankment, some of them wearing raincoats, some wearing hats, and some even shirtless and bare-chested.

The only thing that was the same was that each of them had a weapon in their hands, a sharp shovel, a sharpened wooden stick and a bamboo, and two of them were carrying earthen shotguns.

"The villagers under the mountain...... How did they get here? ”

I was stunned, and for a moment my eyes seemed to be in the sand, and I was sour and uncomfortable.

"Xiao Yanzi, hurry up, you are too reckless, how can you not inform everyone when such a big thing happens!"

Two people quickly walked down the embankment and connected me and Yan Xiaoying, one of whom was my cousin.

We had just reached the embankment when the waves rolled in. In the chaos, I saw the villagers holding sharp spears and sharp thorns in their hands and throwing them underwater.

For a moment the sounds of exclamations, shouts, and shotguns mingled.

I lay on the ground, and I couldn't see what was going on underwater, but I could see the splash and hear the dragon's scream.

"Don't worry, this mountain reservoir was built by the sweat of the villagers under the mountain, and they will never allow snakes to come here."

Yan Xiaoying knelt beside me, tore her clothes and said, "The wound hooked by the iron claw is a little deep, and the situation is critical, I hope you don't mind, I'll help you bandage it first to stop the bleeding." ”

She bandaged her wounds quickly.

After a few minutes, he lifted me up from the ground.

I looked around and saw that the snake in the water had receded, and several villagers were injured, which was not serious.

The snake was heavy and massive, and it tried to force its way over the embankment, but was stabbed by a spear buried in the embankment and had to return to the deep water.

With the support of Yan Xiaoying and my cousin, I returned to my grandfather's house with other villagers.

Lying down in bed, the villagers came to visit me, and some people who didn't know me praised me for my courage and sense of responsibility, but those who knew me blamed me for being foolish.

Whether it was praise or blame, I could hear that they cared about me from the bottom of their hearts.

I was very touched in my heart, because I saw the kind of unity and care between my neighbors, which I had never experienced before.

There were many people, and naturally some people noticed that the grandfather, who was a mountain guard, was not here. In this regard, I can only explain to them that my grandfather is old and in poor health, and he has gone to a friend's house to recuperate these days, and now I am taking his place.

Grandpa is already eighty years old, no one blames him for neglecting his duties, it would be good to be able to stay here at such an age, and besides, he had arranged for his grandson to stay here before leaving, so naturally they couldn't say anything.

The injury on my shoulder is not too serious, it is mainly an internal injury, and it is not so easy to get better after being whipped by a snake.

However, after resting for so long, I can barely sit up on my own, and as long as I don't do strenuous exercise, the pain is still bearable.

The rain outside had stopped, and after more than an hour, the flood waters receded, and the snake could not make any waves.

I just don't know if the snake will come back in the next hour? After all, it has been waiting for hundreds of years, and this day, it has waited too long.

After everyone left, Yan Xiaoying walked in and said to me: "Don't worry too much, most of the villagers under the mountain have been evacuated, even if the snake rushes out of the reservoir, it will not cause too many casualties." ”

"Thank you, you are much more thoughtful than me, it's ridiculous that I still want to stop the Jiao Jiao by myself. If it weren't for you this time, I would probably have crossed the river with the snake by now. ”

I looked at Yan Xiaoying and thanked him very seriously and said, "The grace of saving my life, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay it." ”

Yan Xiaoying didn't dress like a woman, especially now that she was wearing tight leather pants, she looked very heroic. Women shave their heads, but they have an alternative temperament, and if they see too much, they don't feel so awkward.

"Hehe, my little girl is soft-spoken, how can I have such a great ability to mobilize these people, I'm afraid even if they say it, they don't believe it, but ......"

Yan Xiaoying stared at me with big delicate eyes and said, "But it's true that you are too reckless, if I don't come in time, you will be in danger." In the future, we need to carefully consider and do what we can. As for the saving grace, let's talk about it later. ”

After listening to her words, I knew that it was Old Lady Yan who helped me in secret, and it seemed that although she hated her old man, she could still see it clearly in front of major events.

Relaxing, I just wanted to chat with Yan Xiaoying and ask her how she has spent all these years.

But then the ground shook suddenly, and then someone was heard shouting outside the house: "Oh no, the water monster has escaped from the flood outlet!" ”

Yan Xiaoying's and I faces suddenly changed drastically, and the latter quickly ran out.

I clutched my aching chest and walked out.

When I came to the side of the flood outlet, I saw that there were blood stains everywhere next to the outlet, and there were even several palm-sized black scales hanging on the barbed wire.

The flood rumbled at the bottom of the mountain, and the snake forcibly broke through the flood outlet despite its injuries, and at this time it had already followed the torrent towards the bottom of the mountain.

This snake is really crazy, you must know that there are many sharp spears buried in the flood outlet.

"It looks like it's badly injured, and now is the best time to get rid of it, but it's just a pity that it's going down the torrent and it's hard to catch up unless there's a helicopter."

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a figure running down a mountain stream and chasing it down the stream.

When the others saw the snake fleeing from the reservoir, they looked panicked, worried about the safety of their families, and hurried down the mountain to rush home.

But in an instant, I was left alone in the entire reservoir embankment.

Worried about the safety of my family, I went back to the house and took out my mobile phone to dial my brother's mobile phone.

The call was quickly connected, and my brother told me that he had heard the news in the morning that the reservoir was flooding and that it might burst its embankment and that it might be flooded, and that he had moved his parents and other family to another place, so I should not worry.

Then he asked me how I am.

I gave him a rough explanation, then hung up.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that everyone in my family was safe, and then took my body to check the levee for cracks or collapse.

In fact, the dam is so strong that there is no safety hazard except for a breach in the flood outlet, which was broken by a snake.

This made me feel a little relieved, but I was more worried about Yan Xiaoying's safety, she had just chased the snake down the mountain.

The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, not to mention that the snake is not dead. It's good that Yan Xiaoying doesn't catch up with him this time, if she does, the injured snake will be much more terrifying than usual.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, this woman just urged me to do what I could, and now she herself is doing such a thing, I really don't know what to say.

After more than half an hour, the flood gradually receded, but Yan Xiaoying was slow to hear from her.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and in the end I couldn't hold it back, so I used my shotgun as a crutch and followed the mountain stream, carefully searching.

The water was fierce and the road was difficult, and I almost fell under a deep ditch several times.

This search was an afternoon, I had almost walked to the foot of the mountain, and still did not find any trace of Yan Xiaoying, but I saw many traces left by snakes along the way.

It wasn't until I came to the big river at the foot of the mountain, and saw from a distance that the reeds in front of me were crooked, and the leaves were full of blood, and my heart tightened.

Quickening his pace to approach, he soon saw a huge snake corpse lying across the torrent, ready to be swept away at any moment.

"How did she do it?"

I was so surprised, I couldn't believe my eyes, how could Yan Xiaoying kill the snake?

I looked at the corpse of the snake in the water, its head and claws were cut off and disappeared, and it was skinned and cramped, this kind of miserable situation is not like what Yan Xiaoying did.

I don't believe she has the ability to do that.

There must have been someone else who killed the snake, and there were traces of a fight in the reeds, but the impact was not large, and it seems that the battle did not last long.

Suddenly, I saw a man floating in the water, and the man was holding on to the reeds on the shore with one hand, so that he was not washed away.

I walked over quickly and saw that the person in the water turned out to be Yan Xiaoying.

I was taken aback and hurriedly dragged her out of the water.

When Yan Xiaoying was rescued, she was already in a semi-comatose state, looked at me and opened her mouth, and passed out without saying a word.

I examined her body and found multiple bruises on her body. There was a deep wound on his left shoulder, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp object, because the wound had turned white after being soaked in water for a long time.

The water was cold, and her whole face was frozen and blue, and it was extremely ugly.

It was not very far from my village, so I bandaged her wounds and dragged her back to the village with a strap, despite the pain in her chest.

When I got back to the entrance of the village, I couldn't hold on, but fortunately, someone happened to come out, and as soon as I opened my mouth to shout, my brother and my mother immediately rushed out of the house.

I didn't know what was going on, because the moment I saw them rushing over, I passed out.
