Chapter 7: Snakes!

The two women behind him heard the voice, looked up, and saw that the two of them suddenly quarreled. Hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed one person, Long Yunxuan asked: "Jianping, what's wrong with you, why did you fight?" Gao Mingling also asked: "Wuxuan, what are you doing?" Zhu Wuxuan let go of his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's have fun, right!" Yin Jianping sorted out his clothes, nodded and said, "Yes, we're fine, don't worry about it." ”

The cloth over there heard the voice, and when he looked back, he saw that they were lagging behind, so he shouted loudly: "Yin Jianping, why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up, it's almost there!" Yin Jianping glanced at Zhu Wuxuan and responded loudly. Said to the three of them: "Let's go!" Stretched out his hand to take Long Yunxuan's hand and walked towards Budu, Zhu Wuxuan also took Gao Mingling's hand and walked beside him, Yin Jianping whispered to Zhu Wuxuan: "Now you can only take one step at a time, protect the two of them." Zhu Wuxuan frowned and did not speak.

Following the three of them in the woods for a while, the front suddenly opened up, and they saw a lake in the valley in front of them, and the lake was sparkling. The lake is surrounded by greenery and has a gentle meadow by the lake. Budu pointed to the grass and said, "It's ahead, let's go!" After speaking, he led the four of them towards the grass by the lake, and the woods by the lake were obviously lower and sparser than the woods they had just walked through. But the foliage is luxuriant, and there is little light.

Yin Jianping and the four of them followed the three of them slowly along the edge of the lake, Long Yunxuan was held by Yin Jianping and walked next to him, and suddenly she noticed that something seemed to be shaking in the corner of her eye, so she turned her eyes curiously. What caught her eye was a finger-thick strip of object, suspended in mid-air not far from her, writhing incessantly. She was stunned at first, then screamed, hid behind Yin Jianping, and shouted: "Snake! There is a snake!" Yin Jianping was startled by her, and then heard her say that there was a snake, and quickly escorted her to take a few steps back, looking down at the ground.

But after looking around, I didn't see the shadow of the snake, and couldn't help asking, "Yunxuan, where is the snake?" Long Yunxuan leaned behind him and trembled slightly, she stretched out her hand and pointed ahead, and said timidly: "On it." "On it?" Yin Jianping looked up at the clouds suspiciously, and the scene he saw made his heart almost jump out. I saw that the trees in front of me were full of snakes! The branches were full of snakes! Hanging in the air and writhing. Even if Yin Jianping is a man and is bolder, when he sees such a scene, he is so frightened that his heart beats wildly, and he is a little unfavorable when he speaks: "How... Why, how can there be so many snakes?" said as he protected Long Yunxuan and stepped back.

Zhu Wuxuan and Gao Mingling heard Long Yunxuan say that there was a snake, and they were checking the ground around them at the moment, and suddenly heard Yin Jianping's tone of words change, Zhu Wuxuan suddenly became energetic, only to hear him laugh and say: "Hey, Dragon Knight, when did you become so bold? A snake scares you like this!" Yin Jianping protected Long Yunxuan and retreated for more than ten steps before stopping, and shouted when he heard the words: "A snake? Look at how many snakes there are! Don't run if you are bold!" Zhu Wuxuan sneered, raised his head and looked in the direction he pointed.

I saw that the branches of the trees not far ahead were full of snakes of different sizes hanging like air roots, writhing like air roots, as if they would fall down at any time! Zhu Wuxuan originally thought that it was just a snake coiled on the tree, but he never expected that it would be such a scene, Rao is not afraid of heaven and earth, and his face turned pale with fright. Hurriedly pulling Gao Mingling back, looking at those snakes as he retreated, afraid that they would fall.

Yin Jianping looked at him, remembered his smug appearance just now, and couldn't help but tease: "Yo, second junior brother, aren't you more bold than the sky, how can you be scared like this?" Zhu Wuxuan listened to his gloating tone, and wanted to fight back, but remembered that Fang Cai himself had also made fun of him, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while. I had to say, "What's the matter with your sister? Why are there so many snakes? Let's hurry up! If they fall, they will be in trouble!" Bu Du, who was walking in front, heard the sound and looked back, but found that the four of them were standing far away, and couldn't help but ask curiously and loudly: "Yin Jianping, what are you doing there? Hurry up and keep up!"

Yin Jianping heard this, and immediately felt that there was a savior, and he replied loudly: "Brother Budu, there are a lot of snakes here! We can't get by!" "Snakes?" Budu was startled, and hurried over, Tongjin held the short spear on his back in his hand, and Zhidu and Chadu also put down the squirrel they were carrying and walked over with the short spear. Bu Du walked up to a few people and asked nervously, "Where is the snake?" Yin Jianping saw that their reaction was a little strange, pointed to the tree in front of him and said, "On the tree in front, there are a lot of snakes hanging!" "On the tree?" Bu Du was a little strange, looking in the direction Yin Jianping pointed, the scene in his eyes made him laugh dumbly, he looked at the tree carefully, and then glanced at Zhidu and Chadu, and they didn't find it.

Budu turned his head, shook his head and smiled: "Yin Jianping, have you really seen snakes?" Yin Jianping was stunned for a moment, pointed to the writhing snakes on the branches and said, "Aren't those all snakes?" Budu said: "Those are just tree meat, how can there be any snakes?" "Tree meat? What is that?" Yin Jianping was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't this a snake?" Budu frowned and said: "This is very common tree meat in our place, Yin Jianping, where did you come from? Haven't you ever seen tree meat?" "Tree meat?" Yin Jianping was puzzled: "I've never heard of such a thing, what is that?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Wuxuan and the three of them, their faces were also full of confusion.

Zhu Wuxuan said: "Can you still grow meat on a tree? I've never heard of it!" Budu said: "The flesh of the tree is not the meat that grows on the tree, but the meat of the tree itself, the meat that can be eaten!" Yin Jianping said strangely: "The meat of the tree itself? Isn't the trunk the flesh of the tree? Wait! You say that thing can be eaten?" Yin Jianping said as he looked at the snake-like things on the tree.

Long Yunxuan hid behind Yin Jianping, poked her head out to look at it and shrank back, only to hear her say softly: "Jianping, can that thing really be eaten? It's so scary." Zhu Wuxuan stared at those things for a while, then touched his chin and said, "Those things don't seem to be snakes! They grow on trees, you see!" Yin Jianping heard this, and also looked carefully, that thing was indeed not a snake, although it looked like a snake, but one end of it grew on a branch. One end of the tree seemed to grow straight out of a branch, and the branch seldom shook even if it kept twisting and shaking.

Budu nodded and said, "Of course you can eat it, come, I'll pick one for you to taste!" After speaking, he walked under the tree and picked out a thicker and more writhing flesh, only to see him reach out and twist between the branch and the flesh, and then pluck the flesh. When the flesh was twisted off, it was still writhing like a living thing. Budu stepped forward with the writhing tree flesh in his hand, stretched out his hand to Yin Jianping, and said, "Come, taste it! ”
