Volume 3 Bixian Strange Tales Chapter 75 Shangguan Yunyun's Ancient Cave Bridge Descends Ghosts (Middle)
Late that night, Li Ergouzi drank three catties of liquor, but he still remained sober and his pace was steady, and he went deep into Mangshan again.
The sky in Mangshan is darker than the sky outside, and the wind is colder, it was originally the beginning of the "nightlife", and the wild animals should also come out to hunt for food, but now it is silent, he is alone in the Mangshan, the body can't help but shiver, a little terrifying, looking at the dark mountain road and the vertical and horizontal ravines, originally familiar, now the stranger is very strange.
was already bold, with the help of alcohol, he looked at the surrounding environment slightly, and hummed a folk song in stride: "Sister, you look forward to me at the bedside, brother, work hard to make money to redeem (your) body......"
After walking for about an hour, he still found nothing, and he couldn't help but secretly ponder: Could it be that today the prey knew that the dog master and I were coming, and they discussed it and hid?
In normal times, he had already returned with a full load, and now the sack on his back was still empty, except for some insects, he found nothing, and those insects, it was useless for him to catch them, and he couldn't exchange them for money, so he didn't put his mind on them, but concentrated on looking for large prey, and then checked a few "traps" he had placed in Mangshan, and after a few twists and turns, he didn't even catch a frog, and only air was caught in the "trap"!
"Do you want to let me take a break today? Day of his grandma's! Li Ergouzi opened his mouth and scolded, and he didn't know who he was scolding, but the scolding kept echoing in the dark and deep Mangshan, and the answer to him was only his own echo.
Suddenly, a stream of "doo" sound came, immediately attracted the attention of Li Ergouzi, judging from his rich experience, there must be a large prey lurking in the creek, thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, finally did not have to return empty-handed.
He took out a bundle of nylon rope from his sack, weighing about twenty pounds, but in his hand it looked light, as if he had just taken a light streamer, and saw that he tied the nylon rope into a slipknot the size of a bowl, which, in his mind, was just enough for him to catch prey in the stream.
Now that his mind is full of money, he has been blinded and rational by money, and he has lived a luxurious life, and he does not want to go back to the days of poverty, which are simply worse than death, a torturous torment.
He crept close to the brook, lest he make the slightest noise, and the prey in the stream would flee, and he put his last hope for the night on the mysterious prey, so he could only succeed and not fail.
The sound of "doodoo" became more and more crisp, and there seemed to be some creature playing in the water, but when you listened closely, the creature seemed to be in some pain, at least from the sound it made, it was not happy, as if it was subdued by another creature, and it was just dying, breathing hard in the water, muttering bubbles.
When he was a meter away from the stream, he didn't have the expectation in his heart, but inexplicably felt more uneasy, he didn't know where this weird feeling came from, he couldn't tell or understand, but his heart kept retreating.
"Go to his grandmother's watermelon peel, crisscrossing the deep mountains and mountains, who is the dog afraid of!" He snorted to himself, and his courage burst out like a fountain, an inexhaustible source.
"Don't move, be the dog's 'food'!" With an angry roar, he raised the modified strong light in his hand, irradiating the stream, don't underestimate this flashlight, this is carefully improved and made by his wisdom and hands, under the strong light of the flashlight, not to mention that the frog can't struggle, even if it encounters a snake, it can't move, he relies on this trick to catch wild things, it can be said that it has been tried and tested.
"Yo, he's still a big guy!" He couldn't help but be complacent and smile.
There is no mysterious and strange creature in the stream, but a snake, to be precise, a cauliflower snake weighing about 20 catties, snakes of this size are not uncommon, and they can be sold at a good price when they are brought to the market.
The big snake was rolling in the stream, and its white and tender belly was particularly eye-catching, but it looked a little listless, not like it was playing in the water.
Li Ergouzi can manage so much, looking at the best time for the big snake to roll, he skillfully threw the nylon rope, and put the slipknot on its seven inches impartially, he only used a slight force, the slipknot tightened, strangled its neck, and then wrapped the nylon rope around his wrist, exhaled in his mouth, and grabbed the rope hard.
The serpent writhed restlessly, splashing layers of water in the stream, slapping at the green grass on both banks.
"You brute, but you have a lot of brute strength," Li Ergou increased his strength, and pulled the rope harder, pulling the big snake out of the water and slowly approaching the shore.
The big snake is not slaughtered, it used all its strength, swinging its body and tail harder, and pulled Li Ergouzi into the stream, he didn't pay attention, and was pulled by the big snake to eat shit, but fortunately the rope was tied to his wrist, otherwise he was broken free by the big snake, and he would have worked in vain.
"The dog master is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat!" Li Ergouzi was furious, roared, and then, quickly stood up from the ground, his gray eyes swirled, thinking about countermeasures, otherwise if it went on like this, let alone capture this big snake, it would be pulled into the stream, and at that time, it would be impossible to say who was the prey.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, no matter what today, he must capture it, not be killed by it, however, while he was thinking, the big snake pulled him again and dragged him for a short distance, although he tried his best to steady his steps, but, the big snake seemed to have endless power, and he could no longer fight against it.
"It's not a way to go on like this!" Li Ergouzi muttered after regaining his composure.
"There it is!" A gleam flashed in his eyes, he had a way to subdue this difficult snake, and his way was through the tall locust tree.
When it was too late, he loosened the nylon rope on his wrist, quickly stepped back, came to the locust tree, and quickly tied the rope into a dead knot and fixed it to the trunk of the locust tree.
The big snake never thought that he would make such a move, no matter how hard it tried, it could not uproot the locust tree after all, but it kept rolling in the stream, and could not take half a step back.
"Shenqi, you can show Lao Tzu Shenqi again!" Li Ergouzi couldn't help but scold angrily, but his hands were not idle, he shrunk the rope little by little, and then, circle after circle, he was wrapped around the trunk of the locust tree, he knew that now that he had the upper hand, the big snake was in a catastrophe, he only needed to pay half of his body strength, he could exhaust the big snake, and at that time, it was not at his disposal.
The serpent stopped struggling violently, and it suddenly fell silent, as if resigned to its fate, except that the scarlet snake hyacinth kept confiding, making a strange "hissing" sound in the air, and it seemed to be searching for something.
"It's a plate of food, and it's a waste of all the strength to struggle, it's really self-inflicted, and it deserves to suffer from the flesh and skin," Li Ergouzi was also a little tired from it, gasping for breath, and couldn't help but send this anger out on the big snake.
The serpent had no expression, and was being dragged by him, leaving the stream again, and approaching in the direction of the locust tree, its heavy body bending the grass on the shore, and a serpentine trace appeared out of thin air.
"I've taken the bait, I've closed the net, go home and hug the beautiful girl!" Li Ergouzi couldn't help humming a limerick, his heart was extremely happy, this big snake was enough for him to squander for a week, thinking that he didn't have to enter Mangshan for a week, he felt that there was still hope for such a day!
The big snake confided in Xinzi faster, and his bright white eyes stared at Li Ergouzi, and a hazy film covered the round eyeballs, which looked very terrifying.
"Hooked?" Li Ergouzi seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing that the big snake was being pulled closer by himself little by little, his little heart was beating non-stop, as if it was about to jump out of his throat, he faintly felt that something was wrong, it was not as simple as he imagined, how could this big snake be exhausted so quickly? Could it be?
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was extremely frightened, and he was not afraid of 10,000 in case of climbing, so he quietly made preparations.
When the serpent was close to him, it suddenly spewed out a trace of resentment from its nose, and then opened its bloody mouth, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
Li Ergouzi dodged quickly, rolled his body to the left, dodging the sudden fatal blow of the big snake, but the hairs on his body stood up involuntarily.
The serpent swooped into the air, and in its foul mouth was a small piece of the trunk of the locust tree, which it had just swallowed.
"Okay, you scheming snake, dare to play yin with Lao Tzu, okay, Lao Tzu, I'll you today!" Li Ergouzi regained his expression and scolded.
The serpent looked at him with great resentment, his body constantly swinging on the grass, as if he was preparing for the next attack.
"Come on, come on, you can eat the dog master today, the dog master is what you raised!"
Li Ergouzi's body ran agilely, but the nylon rope in his hand did not dare to let go, because this was his "magic weapon", once it was loosened, he could no longer deal with the big snake, and at that time, he would become a lamb to be slaughtered.
After all, the big snake couldn't hold his breath anymore, and launched a fierce attack in the direction he was running, and the snake hyacinth confided more frequently.
Li Ergouzi is like a ghost, how could he not understand, as long as he is close to the big snake, he will have no skills to return to the sky, so he has been keeping a safe distance from the big snake, and then using human wisdom to wrap the nylon rope tightly around the locust tree......
The big snake only cared about launching a round of attacks, but he didn't know that it had fallen into the trap of Li Ergouzi.
"Haha, brutes are always brutes, playing these imaginary things with the dog, can you beat me? Bite off more than one can chew. Li Ergouzi doesn't know why, today and this big snake has a special "relationship", I'm afraid this is the most talked about in his life, maybe he has been suppressed for too long, a full thirty years, he wants to find someone to confide in, but the object of his bitter water turned out to be a snake, or a snake of hostile relations!
At first glance, the big snake has been tied up with five flowers, as if it has been "nailed" to the locust tree, not to mention moving, even breathing seems to be rapid and extremely difficult.
Li Ergouzi made sure that after tying up the big snake, he sat on the ground, he wanted to rest and rest, recover his physical strength, and just to see how much physical strength the big snake still had, he didn't want to put one as timed. Explode. The bullet-like threat was carried on its back, and when it regained its strength and wrapped itself tightly, its own life would not be in vain.
He can't hurt this big snake, because if the injured big snake is sold in the market, the price will be greatly reduced, and he can't let it go, so he won't be tossing around, and he can't carry it away if it still has the power to resist, he is not so stupid.
After thinking about it, he finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, without harming the big snake and without any threat to himself, that is, wrapping the nylon rope around the big snake, starting from its mouth, then seven inches, then driving away, and finally the tail.
He calculated and did it this way, and in about half an hour, the big snake was wrapped in nylon rope with three layers inside and three layers outside, like a mummy.
After making sure that the big snake was no longer capable of struggling, he lifted the big snake into the hemp pocket, and with a "whoosh", he sealed the mouth of the bag, picked up the hemp bag containing the big snake, threw it behind him, and began to rush towards the exit of Mangshan on his back......
"Sister, you look forward to me at the bedside, brother, work hard to redeem (your) body......"
He strode up and ran up, completely ignoring the wind whistling in his ears, and not caring about the cold and bleakness of Mangshan......
