Chapter 19: The Snake
In autumn, it is harvest season again, and the rice fields are golden, and the adults have gone to the fields to harvest the grain.
"Drive~! Drive~! ”
"Get out of the way, the general is here!"
Li Feng and his friends happily played a game of horseback riding and fighting on the hillside, he rode on the body of a little chubby dun, waving a small wooden stick in his hand, his face was flushed with excitement, he yelled, and the little chubby dun crawled on the ground sweating profusely.
Several other pairs of people and horses circled around him, some holding a handful of straw in their hands, some holding a banana leaf, shouting "hoho" in their mouths, fighting each other, a chaos, and after a while, people turned over, so lively.
After playing for a while, the little chubby dun on the ground couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Stop~ Stop, I'm tired." ”
The "horses" of the other teams also shouted that they were going to be replaced, and everyone had to pause and rest on the grass.
"I've been playing horseback for a long time today, shall we play something else?" A tall, thin little boy proposed.
"Play what? What to play? A couple of buddies came over.
The tall and thin boy looked up at the top of the mountain and said slowly, "I heard from the big brother next door that there are beautiful wild flowers and wild fruits on the top of the mountain, so we might as well go up the mountain!" ”
"No, my mother told me that children can't climb mountains casually, it's very dangerous, and adults will be scolded if they know about it." Chubby said.
"What are you afraid of, the adults have gone to harvest rice, and no one knows if you don't say it." A boy with a shoehorn looked at the top of the mountain, full of interest.
"Li Feng, are you going?" The tall and lanky boy asked.
"Oh~! The grass on the top of that hill is so high! My grandmother said that where there are a lot of weeds, there are poisonous snakes, centipedes and other things, and it is not good to be bitten. Li Feng was a little hesitant.
"What, you're scared?" The tall and skinny boy asked.
"Just go." Li Feng gritted his teeth, he was most afraid that others would say that he was a coward.
"What about you?" The tall and skinny boy asked Chubby.
"I ...... I'm here to help you get out of the way, and if an adult comes back, I'll shout for you to come down. "Little Chubby Dun is still a little scared and doesn't dare to go.
"Okay, then you watch here, the five of us went, be smart, and send a code when someone comes." The tall and thin boy saw the little chubby man with a flushed face, and knew that his strength had not yet recovered, and it would be a burden to take it with him, so he no longer insisted.
"Okay, you guys come back quickly, I'm scared for too long."
Li Feng, thin and tall, Ban Cuntou and a few other little children, each found a small wooden stick to hold, and walked towards the top of the mountain.
The tall and thin man volunteered to walk in the front, pretending to be a little adult, and said, "Do you know why I told each of you to carry a small stick?" ”
"Why?" The board head asked.
The tall and thin man said triumphantly, "This is the method that my big brother next door taught me, and they often go to the mountains." ”
"This little wooden stick has a great effect, and when you are tired, you can use it as a crutch." The tall and thin man poked around with a wooden stick, "There are many fallen leaves on the mountain, and there are some places where you can't see the road, so you have to use this wooden stick to probe, otherwise there may be a deep pit under your feet, and it will be troublesome to fall." ”
"You know so much." The other partner had a look of adoration on his face.
Seeing someone praising him, the thin and tall man became even more proud, and turned his head as he walked, saying, "The wooden stick also has a big role in self-defense, such as what small animals, poisonous insects, snakes, etc., we can use the wooden stick to drive them away." ”
"Snake!" Several friends shouted in horror at the same time.
"Yes, you can chase away snakes." The tall and thin boy continued to say triumphantly.
"No...... No, we mean you...... There's a snake at your feet. Li Feng was so shocked that he stammered.
"What!?" The tall, skinny boy was taken aback.
"You...... Don't move, it's right under your feet. Ban Cuntou shouted.
The tall and thin boy was too frightened to move.
There was a snake on the ground with pale yellow and black stripes all over its body, stretching out its round head, spitting blood-red letters, and Li Feng could see that the hairs on his body stood up.
"It'...... Where is it? Did you climb to my feet. The tall and thin boy who was still arrogant just now was so frightened that he almost cried out at the moment, and he didn't dare to move his body or look down.
The snake bent over and slowly crawled to the feet of the tall, lanky boy.
"Wow!" Ban Cuntou and the other two friends turned their heads, shouting and running down the hill.
Li Feng was stunned and wanted to run, but the tall and thin boy cried, "Li Feng, don't leave me, I'm so scared." "There's liquid running down the crotch.
Li Feng held the small wooden stick tightly in his hand, and when he saw the appearance of the tall and thin boy, he didn't know where he suddenly got the courage, and said to him: "Don't panic, I'll use the small wooden stick to lure it away, and you will run as soon as it leaves your feet." ”
"Good...... Good. The tall and thin boy was so frightened that he changed his tone.
Li Feng took a small wooden stick and knocked on the grass next to him, and made a sound of "hooh" in his mouth, attracting the attention of the snake.
The snake was visibly enraged by Li Feng's actions, and slowly swam over with hostility.
Seeing the snake leave the feet of the tall and thin boy, Li Feng shouted, "Run! ”
The tall and thin boy let out an "ah" and ran down the hill without looking back.
Li Feng didn't know what to do with the wooden stick, the snake raised its head and squeaked and spit out the letter, and when it saw the stick in Li Feng's hand, it didn't attack, and confronted each other.
Xiao Chubdun, who was bored walking around the mountain, saw Ban Cuntou and the other two friends running down the mountain in a panic, didn't know what happened, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What's wrong with you, you went down the mountain so soon?" ”
Ban Cuntou gasped, "No...... Oh no, there are snakes on the mountain. After saying that, he ran to the village without looking back.
"Ahh What about Li Feng and them? Little Fat Dun shouted at the back of Ban Cuntou, among these partners, he and Li Feng played better, so he was very concerned about Li Feng's safety.
Without getting their answer, Little Fat Dun looked at the direction of the top of the mountain and hesitated whether to go up and have a look.
After hesitating, I saw that the tall and thin boy also ran down, only to see that his hair was messy, his clothes were also cut by bushes, and the crotch of his pants was even wetter, and there was a smell of urine. Little Fat Dun hurriedly went up and asked, "Where is Li Feng?" Why didn't they come down together? ”
"Run, such a big snake, it's scary." The tall and thin boy took Chubby's hand and ran into the village together. Little Fat Dun originally wanted to go up the mountain to have a look, but when he saw the appearance of the tall and thin boy, he was also frightened and couldn't help but run along.
Lan Lan and a few little girls were jumping rubber bands at the entrance of the village, and when they saw the little chubby dun and the tall and thin boy running back in a hurry, but Li Feng, who was usually inseparable from them, was not together, it was very strange, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Little fat brother, why is my brother Li Feng not with you?" ”
Usually Chubby Dun doesn't care about these little girls, but now the situation is urgent and he can't take care of it so much, he hurriedly said, "I don't know, I heard that they met a snake ...... on the mountain" Before he finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by the thin and tall boy with his hand.
The tall and thin boy took over, "We didn't see Li Feng!" After saying that, he pulled the little chubby dun and ran away.
Walking to a place where no one was, the tall and thin boy who was scared just now actually calmed down, "Are you stupid? We went to climb the mountain secretly, and it was over when the adults found out, and we couldn't talk about it. ”
"Oh! So what about Li Feng? Chubby asked.
He ...... He'll be fine! I should be back in a while, and if someone asks, we all say we don't know, understand? The tall and lanky boy shook his chubby shoulders.
"Hmm!" Chubby nodded.
"Let's go, go to my house and watch cartoons!" The tall and thin boy took the little chubby hand and walked towards his house.
Lan Lan knew from the panicked look on the faces of the tall and thin boys that something bad must have happened to Li Feng, usually these boys don't like to play with their girls, she knew that they wouldn't say anything if she asked them, so she went to the hillside where Li Feng and they usually played to find it.
"Brother Feng Feng!" Lan Lan shouted, and there was no echo on the empty hillside.
