() Cangyang hurriedly said: "What's wrong?" Speak up, talk fast! ”

"I'll wait until I'm done with this piece of chicken. If you urge it again, I may forget it when I am in a hurry. ”

Fu Xuefeng laughed secretly: This little girl is really good at playing tricks!

The crowd had to wait patiently.

Xiao Duxue finished eating the meat and ate another mouthful of green vegetables before saying, "Those who tried to catch it are dead." As for how he died, there are different opinions and no conclusion. There is a legend about the cockscomb snake, do you hear it? ”

Uncle Pipe said, "I've heard this story, it's a story about humans who can't tell the story of seeing the cockscomb snake, otherwise they will be punished." Those are very old legends, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

The girl covered her ears and didn't want to listen anymore. The boy looks at me, I look at you, I want to hear it but are afraid that I can't keep it a secret, and at the same time wonder if this story will be made up again.

Xiao Duxue's eyes lit up, it was the nervousness and excitement of wanting to spit out the forbidden secret. Seeing that there were still unwilling, she cleared her throat and put on a posture that I will tell you if you are not afraid of death: "Legend ......"

Fu Xuefeng had a smile in his eyes: I didn't expect that your ability to bluff people is also first-class.

The team leader stopped again and again: "Wait, I don't listen." ”

Xiao Duxue waved her hand: "It's okay. Anyway, you can't talk about it or not, so why not? ”

"Don't! It's better to have one nightmare than two, let alone be riddled with nightmares. ”

"That's right. Then I won't talk about it. But you all remember, no one can tell the story of yesterday. It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. Of course, those who don't take their lives seriously, please feel free. Xiao Duxue was satisfied with the rice, glanced at the table and said, "Our combat effectiveness is really amazing!" So many meals, they were all swept away. ”

Uncle Pipe said, "So many young lads, it's not trivial to eat this little thing. You can't always be like you, eating cat food. ”

Xiao Duxue said with a bitter face: "My belly is about to burst, and my uncle still says that I eat cat food?" Which cat has me so much to eat, hurry up and take a look. If you look at the right eye, I will recognize a sister by the way. ”

At the end of the meal, the topic of the Snake King came to an end. After a short pause, everyone thanked the lord and said goodbye, and they were ready to go on their way.

Uncle Pipe told the team leader twice about the route: "This road is usually used by us to go down the mountain to purchase, it is a bit steep but it is easy to walk, and it is a shortcut." If you go down, you'll be back to school before dark. He came out with two more bags of dried fruit and beef jerky, "Bring this with you, you can replenish your strength when you are hungry." ”

Xiao Duxue saw that those things were a lot of weight, so she offered to give money. Uncle Pipe glared at her fiercely, looking rather displeased. Xiao Duxue knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she was secretly annoyed.

The team leader said: "We Tibetans don't care so much. If you fall in love, you are your own person and don't care about money. ”

Uncle Pipe said with a dark face: "You go first, I have a few reasons to tell this girl alone." ”

The team leader said, "Liar King, be well taught. After saying that, he walked away with a group of people who were gloating.

People went silently, and the courtyard was quiet again. Fu Xuefeng played in the snow and waited obediently.

As soon as Xiao Duxue put on the appearance of being trained, Uncle Pipe gave her a standard long salute, which was so startled that she hurriedly dodged away and refused to accept the salute: "Uncle, I am a yellow-haired girl, how dare I accept such a big gift!" Isn't that a discount on my life? Say something. If I can do it, I will not refuse. ”

"I'm not doing this for anything else, just for the girl's kindness and mercy on the creatures in the mountains." Uncle Pipe pointed to the reckless mountains and said, "We have lived here for generations, and we all have feelings for every grass and tree here. Our ancestors once warned us to revere nature, love nature, and protect nature. He also told us that there are two kinds of east in this mountain

The West must not be offended: first, the god of this mountain, and second, the king of this mountain. God controls the seasons, and the King rules over all living beings. If you offend God, the four seasons will be disordered, the wind and rain will be unbalanced, and the people's livelihood will be difficult; If you offend the king, all living beings will kill each other, and the scourge will continue, and the ecology will be unbalanced. We have adhered to the teachings of our ancestors for generations, and we dare not exceed them in the slightest. The gods have eyes, so that we can be fed and clothed, and live in peace. And the king also reined in his men, and never harassed us. ”

Xiao Duxue sighed: "It is said that there are no gods in the world, which is not true. ”

"Only good people have gods in their hearts." Uncle Pipe said, "If you don't handle it well, there will inevitably be casualties." If you anger the Serpent King, you can walk away, but it is those of us who live in the mountains forever who will suffer. After a pause, he asked again, "Is it true that the snake king is afraid of you?" ”

"It's because they're stunned and dazzled, but it's true that I'm not afraid of snakes. Because I believe that all things have spirits, I have no ill will towards them, and they will not hurt me casually. ”

"You're right. Animals are sometimes more compassionate and well-behaved than humans. Uncle Pipe pulled out a mouthful of white teeth and smiled, "Thank you for making up stories to scare them." Did you think about it a long time ago, or did it happen on a whim? ”

"I've thought about it a long time ago. I don't want them to be open-mouthed and spread out. It would not be good if it reached the ears of some greedy man who came to harass the peace of the Serpent King for their own selfish gain. I don't know if I'm scared or not, but I have to try. ”

"Yes, if the king is not at peace, we will not be at peace. Some people in my father's generation coveted the king, and searched the mountains all day long, causing him to live in peace. Before the beginning of winter, the king and his men killed all the domestic animals in the mountains, and also wasted the grain that the people were preparing for the winter. That winter, I almost starved to death. ”

"If you don't keep the way of heaven and don't believe in cause and effect, you will be punished sooner or later. People always regret it when a catastrophe comes, which is sad. ”

"Isn't it? That's why I'm grateful to you. You and I are both people who guard the way of heaven, and I hope to see you again. ”

"What has Uncle heard about the mountain god?"

"Legend has it that the mountain god never shows his true face, and often turns into a fiery fox who steps on auspicious clouds and holds colorful fairy fruits in his mouth to inspect all beings. If you are lucky enough to meet him, you will have good luck in your life. And the colorful fruit is even more magical, no matter how many years it is put on, it has the effect of removing stubborn diseases, curing all diseases, detoxifying strange poisons, prolonging life, and maintaining eternal youth. But these are legends, and no one has ever confirmed them. ”

"The mountains are not high, there are immortals. This mountain is high and fairy, no wonder the people are outstanding. If the uncle's family lives here, they will be blessed with longevity and health, and they will be blessed for a long time. Xiao Duxue thought about the colorful fruit, and regretted it: if it was really a mountain god, it should borrow the fruit from it. I don't want to live a long life, I just want to touch the feel of the fruit.

"Lend you good words." Uncle Pipe pointed to the way down the mountain and said, "Go ahead, I guess they're all in a hurry." He watched the figures of the two disappear at the end of the mountain road, and sighed: "It is difficult to enjoy the old age in early wisdom, and it has been like this since ancient times." May the gods have a spirit to protect you from the beginning to the end. ”

Descending the road, although the mountain is steep, it is unhindered. Halfway up the mountain, the wind stopped and the snow stopped. The sun tilted obliquely in the sky, revealing a half-smiling face, warm and ambiguous. The further down it gets, the clearer it becomes, and I sweat profusely as I walk a little faster, and I can't find any traces of snow. Dare to love this snow, only fell on the top of the mountain, and did not go down to the bottom of the mountain.

It really fulfills the old Gyatso's words: A mountain has four seasons, and ten miles of different days.

Many years later, a young man drank and lost his words and told the story of that year. However, due to the passage of time and the passage of time, some of the lives experienced by people today are themselves a chat, so no matter how thrilling the storyteller says, the listener just wants to be fresh and does not go to the heart. Coupled with the lack of evidence, this has become another mystery, a "once upon a time" in the mouth of juniors.

Nobody knows,

The thrilling encounter between Xiao Duxue and Fu Xuefeng on the way to climb the mountain. What Xiao Duxue didn't expect was that the fiery red fox who was chased by her all over the mountain had an amazing move.

When the snow drifted from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the persimmons, beef jerky, dried apples and all kinds of mountain goods made by Xiao Duxue were sent to Zhang Yuhan and Chu Xinghe. Looking at the boxes full of food, the smiles of the two were the same: they still had the heart to study these, and it seemed that life was good.

Chu Xinghe's box contained a note folded into stars, which read: Probably you don't want to bring these things back, so I simply send them to you and bring some for Sister Chu to taste, so it's my intention. Chu Xinghe took a bite of the persimmon: It's so sweet!

The old gardener's package contained half-dry and half-wet dried peeled apples, a small amount of persimmons, tender beef jerky, a large bag of old Tibetan tobacco leaves, and an old tobacco pouch with some origin. A piece of paper folded into the shape of a flower has only a few simple words: Master, how about you try the craftsmanship of the apprentice? Usually smoke less, eat more vegetables, exercise more, and don't smoke all day long. I'm all right, don't read it! The old gardener's hand ran over the things, and his eyes were dotted.

Although Xiao Duxue never showed that she wanted to inquire about the news of the deceased, Chu Xinghe still sandwiched a piece of paper in the information book, wrote the names of several people on it, and made a simple annotation after the name: Yao Mengya, English Department; Ye Hanchuan, Department of Chinese; FANG Yumo, Lincheng Public Security University; Jun Wushuang, Department of Finance. Jun An.

Xiao Duxue smiled bitterly: The world is so big, why can't people who don't want to see always can't hide. Since there is no way to avoid it, there is no need to avoid it anymore, and it is better to face it directly. She looked at Jun Wushuang's name, and admired Chu Xinghe's meticulousness and thoughtfulness.

Weekend. The brother on the top bunk threw the newly signed large box onto the cleanest and neatest table: "What's in this box?" So heavy. ”

Jun Wushuang checked the box, and saw that his name and not very detailed delivery address were written on it, but there was no sending address, so he tore the seal casually: "It is estimated that my grandmother sent winter clothes." The elderly are like this, for fear that there will be less. ”

There were not winter coats in the box, but small snacks.

The brother on the top bunk flicked the tightly tied bags and read the labels on the bags as he searched for his favorite food: "Spicy beef jerky, spiced beef jerky, cumin beef jerky, plain beef jerky." He grabbed a bag of yellow-orange-orange and asked, "What is this?" ”

The boy reading the book in the lower bunk said, "It's a persimmon." Very sweet and delicious. ”

The brother on the top bunk threw down the bag: "I don't love sweets." Your grandma really cares for you! ”

Jun Wushuang touched his chin and said, "My grandmother's ten fingers don't touch the spring water, she can only eat, not cook." ”

The brother on the top bunk smiled brightly: "Tell me honestly, which girl has a crush on you gave it?" ”

You guessed the people in the dormitory, and I guessed who it was for a long time.

The brother on the top bunk threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth: "I'll go!" It's so delicious! ”

The boy in the lower bunk also tasted a piece: "It's delicious, it's much better than what is sold on the market." ”

Jun Wushuang stared at the unclear handwriting, and suddenly smiled.

The brother on the top bunk was not idle: "What are you laughing at?" Any idea who sent it? ”

"No matter who it is, since it was sent to me, then I will enjoy it so that I can live up to this delicacy."

"It should live up to the heart." The brother on the top bunk said, chewing on beef jerky.

In the corner of the box lay a lump of paper the size of a broad bean, like the leftover from cheating on an exam. Open it to see: a string of highly poisonous black skulls is drawn on the paper, and a little girl is kneeling next to a little boy who spits blood and closes his eyes, crying miserably. Next to it is written a line of extremely small and very small words: guinea pig, beef jerky can't be eaten too much at one time, be careful of poison. The corners of Jun Wushuang's mouth turned up, and a lazy smile appeared. He put his things in the cupboard, packed his wallet and walked out of the dormitory.
