CHAPTER XXXII

Jane continued digging for mushrooms. "What's the use of liking it or not! To be born here is to be born. ”

Jiang Yunheng suddenly approached Xiao Zhen mysteriously. "Have you ever thought about sneaking out?"

Xiao Zhen was surprised: "Sneak out? ”

"That's right!" Jiang Yunheng lowered his voice even lower. "Anyway, you usually live alone, and no one cares about you."

Jane shook her head and sighed. "Impossible, don't think about it."

Jiang Yun was puzzled. "Why not?"

Jane pointed to the top of the mountain. "The elders in the village once said that we Miao people are God's people, and we must stay within God's sight, and if anyone leaves without permission, it will bring disaster, and even the entire village."

"That's all fart." Jiang Yunheng, who received a modern science education, naturally would not believe these gods and ghosts, and he cooperated with Xiaozhen before because he knew that he could not interfere with other people's beliefs at will, but now he heard this exaggeration, and he was excited and dirty. "There is no god in the world, and even if there is, it is not God at all who harms people because you leave, and the devil is right."

"Don't talk about it." Xiao Zhen covered Jiang Yunheng's mouth, and her expression was still a little panicked. "Besides, it will provoke the wrath of God."

Jiang Yun blinked, and after Xiao Zhen took his hand away, he frowned and repeated: "God is angry? ”

"Yes, God Fury, you ......" Xiao Zhen was about to say something, but suddenly fell silent, and after a while whispered: "...... Did you hear anything? ”

Jiang Yun pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while. "The wind?"

Jane frowned. "Not really."

Jiang Yunheng listened carefully for a while, and after hearing clearly that it was indeed not the wind, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably. "Snake snake snake ...... Snake! ”

"Sizzle!" The movement in the grass became louder and louder, and Jiang Yun wanted to run when he pulled his legs, but was stopped by Xiao Zhen.

"Don't move."

Jiang Yunheng had no choice but not to move, but his legs were shaking more and more, and he felt that something behind him was approaching again, and then, a shadow appeared on his head. Raising his eyes and looking up, a large snake head that had never been seen before appeared above.

"Little ...... Precious! ”

"Shh Jiang Yunheng wanted to whisper to ask Xiao Zhen what to do, but the whisper signaled him not to speak, so he had to continue to stand still.

The snake stopped above him for a while, then swung to Jiang Yunheng's side, circled around the ground, and finally put its head to his chest, and the snake letter that spit out almost swept his face.

"Ahh

Maybe it was the instinct of people to survive, just when the snake suddenly opened its bloody mouth and exposed its four fangs to bite Jiang Yunheng's neck, before its head could react, the person had already dodged to the side and narrowly escaped this fatal blow.

"Yunheng!"

Xiao Zhen went over to hold Jiang Yunheng, who had just picked up a life, and was about to say something more, when the snake actually attacked them again, so she had to pull Jiang Yunheng up and run. "Run."

Jiang Yunheng ran with Xiao Zhen, asking as he ran, "What is it?" ”

Jane explained as she ran: "It's a divine messenger." ”

"Why did the oracle attack us?"

Xiao Zhen said as she ran: "I don't know either." ”

Jiang Yun became softer and softer the more he ran errands, and almost fell down several times. "Is it because it's not satisfied with the tribute we gave it today?"

"Tribute." Xiao Zhen suddenly stopped and raised Jiang Yunheng's hand that had been pierced by vines. "Because of your blood."

"What? So what to do? Jiang Yun looked back anxiously, and saw that the big snake was chasing after him, so he hurriedly continued to run. Is it ready to eat me? ”

"He smelled your blood and took you as its tribute."

Jiang Yunheng was about to cry. "It's really ready to eat me."

Xiao Zhen pushed Jiang Yun sideways forward. "Stop talking, run!"

The two of them ran desperately, shuttling through the mountains and forests, but Jiang Yunheng rarely walked this kind of road, plus his legs were weak, and when he arrived at the place where there were many rocks, he accidentally kicked it and fell directly to the ground.

"Yunheng!"

Xiao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Yunheng up, wanting to pull him to continue running, but the big snake was already close at hand, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards them.

While Xiao Zhen pushed Jiang Yunheng away, she hid to the side, rolled on the ground twice and got up, and found that the big snake was chasing Jiang Yunheng.

"Be careful!"

At this moment, Jiang Yunheng was sitting on the ground, and he was in a hurry, and rolled behind a big tree next to him, so that he was not bitten. But it was not safe for him, and the serpent missed it, and swung on the ground, and at once bypassed the obstacle and attacked him again.

The big snake came again, Jiang Yunheng hurriedly rolled to the side of another big tree, and so on, he actually rolled out his experience. The big snake is large, and every time it attacks, he needs to prop up half of his body and then dive, with this buffer time, he directly chooses not to get up, and just rolls back and forth between several large trees. In the end, it was the snake that was too long and couldn't get out of it when it got around a few trees.

Seeing that the big snake was trapped and couldn't move for a while, Jiang Yunheng got up from the ground, but because of his weak legs, he didn't stand firm.

"Yunheng!"

Xiao Zhen went to help Jiang Yunheng, and Jiang Yunheng stood up with her strength. "This is your oracle?"

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yunheng closed his eyes and gasped sharply. "This thing is so evil, and the monster is almost the same"

"Sizzle!"

The sound of the serpent sticking out its tongue alarmed the two of them again, and it turned out that although it was entangled, it did not give up at all to capture the tribute. At this time, he was struggling hard, and his whole head was in their direction, Jiang Yunheng hurriedly asked Xiao Zhen: "Is there any place to hide?" When it breaks free, I'll be a tribute to its belly. ”

Jane thought as she ran. "Follow me!"

Xiao Zhen took Jiang Yunheng to a deep ditch, and at a glance, the water flowed from top to bottom, very turbulent.

Jiang Yun jumped to his feet in a hurry. "Shall we jump?"

Jane was trying her best to calm her panting breath from running. "Let's jump over."

Jiang Yunheng exclaimed: "It's so wide, how can you jump?" ”

"I'll go first." After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, she was about to jump, but was stopped by Jiang Yunheng.

"I'm a man, I'll come first."

"Wait!" Xiao Zhen wanted to stop it, but Jiang Yunheng had already jumped out, and just a little bit away from the opposite bank, he fell straight down. "Yunheng!"

The scream came with the rustle of the spitting son, and Xiao Zhen looked back at the big snake that was still ten meters away from her at most, gritted her teeth, jumped straight down, and fell into the water with a "poof".

"Wow!"

Jiang Yunheng came out of the water. "Whew!"

"Yunheng!"

Hearing Xiao Zhen's voice, Jiang Yun turned around in the water and found someone. "Jane."

Xiao Zhen is also still in the water, holding the water with both hands. "Are you alright?"

Jiang Yun replied to her: "I'm fine, what now?" ”

Jane looked around. "The angel is gone, so let's go ashore first."

"Good!"

The two went ashore one after the other, found a clean place to rest, Jiang Yunheng said while twisting the water on his body: "What should we do now?" ”

"I've been here before, and I know the way back."

Jiang Yunheng looked at Xiao Zhen. "Your basket is gone."

"Hmm!" Jane flung her wet hair behind her back. "When I jumped down, I fell into the ditch and washed away."

"Whew!" Jiang Yun puffed out his face. "I didn't talk about it for a day, and I was almost eaten as a tribute by your divine envoy."

"......" Xiao Zhen whispered something, but Jiang Yunheng didn't hear it clearly.

"What did you say?"

"Nope!" Jane stood up. "I don't know if the oracle will follow, so let's go back first."

Jiang Yunheng thought for a moment. "It's okay, if you stay any longer, you won't be eaten."

The two of them went down the mountain, and because the road they walked was farther than the one they went up, it took longer. When they arrived home, it was already dark, and as soon as they entered the house, Qiu Wenwen greeted them. "You're back!"

"Wenwen!" Jiang Yunheng saw Qiu Wenwen and hurriedly went up to help her. "Why are you up?"

Qiu Wenwen was helped to the bed by Jiang Yun and sat down. "Why are you getting wet?"

"Say no more!" Speaking of this, Jiang Yunheng still had palpitations. "I almost didn't come back today."

Qiu Wenwen's apricot eyes widened. "What's going on?"

Jiang Yun patted his chest horizontally. "I was taken as a tribute by their divine envoys, and they chased me all over the mountains and fields to eat me."

"The Divine Messenger wants to eat you?" Qiu Wenwen was even more surprised. "What kind of oracle is that?"

"Who's to say it isn't!" Jiang Yunheng looked outside the house, and after making sure that Xiao Zhen was not there, he whispered: "Do you know, their divine envoy is actually a big snake, and the mouth of the bowl is so thick. ”

Qiu Wenwen sighed for a while. "How did the serpent become an oracle?"

Jiang Yun shrugged sideways. "I don't know about this, I guess it's the same as those ethnic minorities with religious beliefs, some of them offer pigs as gods, and it's not strange that people here offer snakes."

Qiu Wenwen nodded in agreement. "That's right!"

"That's right!" Jiang Yun patted his head horizontally. "Are you hungry? Have you eaten? ”

Qiu Wenwen smiled. "Don't worry, Miss Xiaozhen warmed the porridge on the stove, and I have it."

"But you've eaten too little." Jane walked in from the outside, already dressed in dry clothes. "The porridge in the pot hasn't moved much."

Qiu Wenwen lowered her eyes. "I'm not hungry."

"I know you're tired of eating fish fillet porridge." Xiao Zhen regretted: "It's a pity that I didn't gain anything today." ”

Qiu Wenwen said: "Yun Heng told me what happened on the mountain today, and it is more important than anything else that you can come back safely. ”

"But it's not good to let you eat fish fillet porridge all the time." Jane pursed her lips and thought for a while. "In this way, I will go to grandpa to borrow a few eggs and come back, you wait, I will be back in a while."

Jiang Yunheng chased after him. "It's getting dark, I'll go with you!"

"You'd better not go." Jane turned around. "I've washed your clothes for you and put them at the head of the bed, so let's change your clothes first, and I'll be back soon."

Jiang Yun looked sideways at himself, his wet clothes wrapped around his body, although it was not cold, it was uncomfortable. "Then be careful yourself."

Xiao Zhen smiled: "This is in the village, what do I have to be careful about, don't worry, when I come back, I will give you stewed custard." ”

After Xiaozhen left, Jiang Yun went to the corner to change clothes, and found Qiu Wenwen in a daze after changing. "What's wrong, Wenwen?"

"Ahh Qiu Wenwen came back to her senses. "Nope!"

Jiang Yunheng went to Qiu Wenwen and sat down. "Something?"

Qiu Wenwen lowered her head and shook it. "Do you believe in a woman's sixth sense?"

Jiang Yunheng's eyes went up, looking left and right. "What do you feel?"

Qiu Wenwen raised her eyes. "After you left today, I don't know why, I always have a burning feeling."

Jiang Yun nodded horizontally. "It seems that your sixth sense is quite accurate, I was almost eaten by the big snake."

"It's not."

"That's?"

"You've come back safely, but the anxiety in my heart hasn't diminished at all, and it's getting stronger and stronger."

Jiang Yun closed his lips horizontally. “…… You're saying there's something else going on? ”

"I don't know, hopefully I'm just thinking too much."

"Okay, don't think about it." Jiang Yunheng wanted to help Qiu Wenwen lie down. "What you have to do now is to get some rest, take care of your body, and then ......"

"Then go find your brother." Jiang Yunheng's unfinished words were taken by Qiu Wenwen.

Jiang Yunheng sighed softly. "I don't know where my brother is now."

"Don't worry, Qin Ling must be fine."

"My brother is so powerful, of course he will be fine." Jiang Yunheng held Qiu Wenwen's arm and moved. "You need to get better quickly."

"I also hope that I can get better soon." Qiu Wenwen propped up her body and refused to lie down. "Let me get up and walk, always lie down like this, good or slow."

"Good!" Jiang Yun helped Qiu Wenwen get out of bed, but Qiu Wenwen rejected him.

"I can do it myself, you stand out of the way."

"Good!" Jiang Yunheng stood aside as he said, waiting for Qiu Wenwen to get up by herself and watch her walk back and forth in the room.
