Chapter 14: Encounters with Snakes
At this time, a very strong smell of realgar wine entered Seventeen's nose.
He was still more than a hundred meters away from the village, but he could smell such a strong smell from such a distance.
Although Seventeen is not afraid of realgar wine, but this thing will smell too much, it will be a little upset, and he quickly held his breath and switched to internal breathing mode.
After walking a few steps, Seventeen entered the village.
At the first glance of entering the village, I saw large and small wine jars, pots and jars, all of which were filled with realgar wine.
Seventeen was a little puzzled, could it be that this village specializes in the production of realgar wine?
And every household has locked themselves up tightly, and that posture, even if it's a mosquito, don't want to fly in.
However, Seventeen faintly felt that the strange phenomenon in this village might have something to do with those snakes that didn't hibernate, and there was an evil energy everywhere.
Seventeen wanted to find someone to ask where to get the money, but this one person didn't see it, where to ask?
After thinking about it, he walked to a house, knocked on the door, and asked, "Is anyone there?" Feed? Hello? Is there anybody? ”
I asked several families in a row, but none of them gave feedback to Seventeen, and Seventeen wondered if it was because there was too much realgar wine here, which made everyone drunk?
Just as he was thinking wildly, a very small voice came into Seventeen's ears, if it weren't for the fact that his ear power was more powerful than that of ordinary people, even if he heard this voice just now, no matter how much he listened to it, he wouldn't be able to hear it.
The source of the sound was not far from Seventeen, from a house in front of it.
Hurriedly came to this house, and as before, reached out and knocked on the door a few times, and asked.
However, this time, as before, no one answered his words, so Seventeen added: "I heard you talking, open the door!" ”
Then, Seventeen patted the door impatiently, and the door was slammed, especially in such a strange environment, which seemed very abrupt.
Finally, when Seventeen was impatient, the closed door slowly opened, and then a head slowly poked out inside, with a look of fear and panic.
Seventeen withdrew his hand in mid-air and was about to slam the door, and looked at the old man in front of him with a frown.
"In broad daylight, you can't close the door and can't get out, what are you hiding inside?"
As he spoke, Seventeen was about to look inside.
As a result, who knows, the old man immediately knelt down and said with a bitter face: "King! Please let our village go! If we continue like this, our village will be gone! Please, O king, spare us! ”
The old man kowtowed vigorously and cried, seeing that he was inexplicable, he hurriedly grabbed the old man's clothes, and directly lifted it up, saying: "Say it clearly, what is the king and the little king, I am not a king, just a passerby." ”
After straightening the old man, Seventeen let go of his hand, and as soon as the old man landed, he stopped talking, but looked dazed, and asked again: "Are you just a passerby?" ”
"How many more times do I have to tell you? What the hell is going on, you make it clear to me! ”
As soon as the old man heard that it was just a passerby, he pulled Seventeen into the house, and at the same time quickly closed the door and hung up the deadbolt.
Seventeen was confused, and his instincts told him that something terrible might be going on here.
When he entered the house, Seventeen saw the mother and daughter hiding on the bed, and the two of them stared at Seventeen with a sense of awe.
After the old man had closed the door, he dragged over a bench for Seventeen to sit down on, and for himself to sit on the other bench.
Seventeen didn't rush to speak, but looked at the old man quietly, he knew that the old man would explain to him the strange situation in this village.
The old man glanced outside the door, then lowered his voice and said to Seventeen, "Young man, what are you doing here?" It's not safe here! ”
"What the hell is going on here? Why is there realgar wine in front of every house in the village? And there was no one outside. ”
The old man sighed, and then told Seventeen about the strange things that had happened in the village.
The old man told Seventeen that his name was Kang Lang, and that he was an authentic mountain farmer, and that the village was not like this before, but a month ago, a strange thing happened.
It was the middle of October, and it was already late autumn, and many animals were supposed to be preparing to hibernate, but that's when something strange happened.
At that time, Kang Lang and another person named Zeng Xingyun went up the mountain to chop firewood, and the two chatted as they walked.
However, at this moment, Zeng Xingyun suddenly let out an exclamation, and hurriedly pointed to one place and roared: "Snake! Lao Kang, look! There are so many snakes out there! ”
Kang Lang was so frightened by Zeng Xingyun's sudden sound that he almost had high blood pressure, and he passed it directly.
When Kang Lang came slowly, he looked in the direction Zeng Xingyun pointed, and couldn't help but be surprised again!
Fortunately, Zeng Xingyun was reminded in advance, and he was not much frightened.
Just said, "What are they doing?" It's about to get ready for winter, so what are you doing here if you don't go into the cave? ”
"How do I know? But since it happened, it's time to catch it back and make soup! "This Zeng Xingyun is not interested in anything else, so he just grabbed a bite of game, and now he ran into such a large number of snakes, and naturally his heart was itchy.
"Be careful!" Kang Lang didn't try to persuade him, because he knew what kind of person Zeng Xingyun was, so he just reminded him to be careful.
"Don't worry, I'll catch two for you later, go back and stew it to replenish your son's body, don't lose your daughter-in-law!" Zeng Xingyun responded with a smile, and didn't seem to take Kang Lang's reminder seriously.
Zeng Xingyun cautiously, approaching the snake group step by step, just looking at this action, he knew that it was not the first time he had caught a snake, and it was no wonder that Kang Lang was so relieved of Zeng Xingyun.
The snakes didn't seem to notice Zeng Xingyun, who was gradually approaching, and they were still entwining.
Zeng Xingyun picked up a long branch from the side and held it in his hand, and after breaking off some of the excess branches, it became a simple snake catcher.
Zeng Xingyun came to the periphery of the snake group, stretched out a simple snake catcher, inserted it into the snake group, and then slowly picked up a small snake that was almost about one meter long.
The snake didn't seem to intend to resist, so it was so provoking Zeng Xingyun.
Zeng Xingyun slowly withdrew the snake, then approached with his other hand without hurrying, and then grabbed the snake's brain while the snake was not paying attention.
This technique is still so skillful, and it has not been deterred by age at all.
However, just as Zeng Xingyun was about to capture the next one, he heard Kang Lang's shout from afar: "Old man Zeng! Watch your step! ”
I saw that I don't know when, the previous group of snakes actually moved to Zeng Xingyun's feet!
