Chapter 12: The Evil One

"Fatty, fat, wake up, you're okay." This temperature is not sleepable, in case something happens and can't afford it, An Yiheng hurriedly pulled the fat man up.

An Yiheng saw that he didn't react, so he patted his face, but he didn't wake up, what was going on.

"Yingzi, look at what's wrong with the fat man, let him not wake up."

Yingzi touched the fat man's forehead and hurriedly said to him: "Quickly put him on his back and go to the blind mother-in-law, don't rub it off." ”

Hurriedly carrying him on his back, he pushed the door open, and the snow outside was a little heavier. Carrying the fat man on his back, I don't know if he is too heavy, or the reason why we eat, after walking a few steps, his legs are a little weak, Yingzi saw that he was too rubbing, and the two carried the fat man away.

The blind mother-in-law pinched her fingers with her left hand, shook her head, and still chattered in her mouth, slapped the fat man twice, and stuck some water with her hand a few times. The blind mother-in-law was still sweating on her forehead, and Yingzi stepped forward to wipe it.

"This baby has fallen into evil, did he provoke Wong Tai Sin?"

An Yiheng heard this, where did this start, since he came to Tagou Village, he encountered a strange thing, and that thing could not be Huangpizi, so he hurriedly asked: "Blind mother-in-law, what should I do, this person is burning badly, is it a medicine to eat." ”

The blind mother-in-law staggered a few steps, sat down and said, "There is a way, but ......"

said that this stopped, this An Yiheng was anxious, but he was embarrassed to urge, after all, he was asking someone to see a doctor. Yingzi stuffed some food stamps into the blind mother-in-law's hand, and looked at An Yiheng with a pout.

"Ahem...... There is a kind of snake in this mountain, the rest of the red neck is cyan, and the ice is terrible, and the triangular head is highly poisonous, but its gall is indeed a yang thing, but now in winter, it should hibernate, it is not easy to find. ”

Yingzi said: "I have seen this snake, I have seen it with my grandfather in Gama Mountain this summer, and my grandfather told me, don't provoke this kind of snake, it will kill you instantly when you are bitten, what is it called pheasant neck." ”

"It's going to get dark soon, so we'll go up the mountain early tomorrow morning."

"No, it's too dangerous to venture into the mountains, and there are no shotguns, so if you run into a big beast, you'll be in trouble." Yingzi said seriously.

"Human life is a matter of heaven, and it can't be delayed, or call the old man." An Yiheng asked.

"Let's go, put the fat man on his back, say on the way."

Yingzi told him on the road that the ranger in this forest area was a veteran, who was injured in the Vietnam War, and was assigned to become a forest ranger in this forest area after retiring, and his name was Fang Yi. A body of battlefield experience, marksmanship is very accurate, usually taciturn, very cold to the people in the village, people who have seen him have never seen him smile.

The two decided to ask him for help early tomorrow morning. They all went home, looked at the fat man lying on the kang, and said in their hearts. This unlucky kid, you can do anything by yourself, what are you doing with me, how good it is to be a soldier in the army, it's only been a few days, you can't get up.

Early the next morning, An Yiheng got up early, and as soon as he pushed the door open, the snow was nearly twenty centimeters, and the snow had been down since yesterday. This undoubtedly made it more difficult to find, so I had to speed up my pace, call Yingzi, and rush to the residence of the ranger Fang Yi. On the way, Yingzi was a little worried about the hunting team, this snowy night, according to this situation, if it continues, it is a question of whether the hunting team can come out.

An Yiheng comforted her, Village Chief Liu has been hunting for so many years, and he is very experienced, he has never encountered anything, and you still don't know about his grandfather. The two of them found the ranger, and as soon as they entered the room, it was very neat and orderly. At this time, he was wiping the gun, and the two of them came in and ignored it, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.

An Yiheng opened his mouth and said: "Brother Fang, I am here to ask you for help, my friend is sick and needs snake gall bladder treatment, if there is no snake gall bladder, it is likely to kill him." ”

"Snake gall? It's all hibernating, and you're going to look for it in the cave. Hmph......" Fang also laughed a little disdainfully.

An Yiheng said: "No matter what, I have to try, the snake I am looking for this time should be rare, his name is pheasant neck, and there is a piece of red skin below the head, Yingzi has seen it." ”

Fang Yi threw over the water bag and said, "Take it, it's too cold on the road, just take two sips." ”

Yingzi has never dared to speak, maybe she is always with a straight face by Fang Yi, so she is a little scared. Without further ado, Yingzi led the way and headed towards the destination. No one had walked this section of the road, the snow was very deep, and the calves were completely touched, and several people walked very slowly, Yingzi was also panting in front, and Fang was also alert to the surrounding situation at the end.

I don't know how long I walked, the forest here is more dense, and the snow on the trees is strange, if it falls from the trees, it will not smash people half to death.

"Stop." Fang Yi whispered.

An Yiheng and Yingzi came over, there was a row of footprints on the ground, similar to the footprints of dogs, magnified several times, the snow was trampled very solidly, obviously the weight was very heavy, it was about four or five hundred pounds to make such footprints.

"These are the footprints of a brown bear, it should be hibernate now, probably woken up by hunger, let's be careful not to attract its attention." Fang Yi waved his hand and asked Yingzi to continue to lead the way.

The road ahead is downhill, and the further down you go, the deeper the snow becomes. Because the mountains on both sides are steep, and the wind blows the snow into the middle of the valley, it seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact it is full of dangers. The original terrain is covered and can only be identified by memory, and some large pits are covered with snow, and once people step into it, there is no time to react.

Yingzi gasped, pointed to the mountain in front of him, and said to them: "In front of me, when I went up the mountain with my grandfather to collect medicine, I found a pheasant neck, where the terrain is gentle, it should be much easier to walk." ”

Looking at the plain area on the right, the Daxing'an Mountains are undulating magnificently, as if wearing new white clothes.

Fang Yi took the lead, An Yiheng and Yingzi were not physically strong, so they supported each other and continued to move forward, at this time, the faces of the three of them were covered with hoarfrost on both sides. An Yiheng took off the dogskin hat, the heat disappeared instantly, and Yingzi brought it to him again: "Don't take off the hat casually, it's easy to catch a cold on such a cold day." ”

When the three of them arrived at the place, they cleaned the snow from the stones and sat down to rest.

Yingzi said: "This snake has been hibernating, and there is no trace of it, so I don't know how to do it at this time." ”

"Ordinary venomous snakes have been hibernating in their burrows since late November, when they often gather in dozens or even hundreds of dormant dormants in burrows or tree hollows in high dry places." An Yiheng said.

"How do you know?"

"There are books and books on everything, come, let's have a drink of wine to warm up, look for tree caves and caves and the like." An Yiheng took out the wine.

One bite per person, and then walked deep into the mountains. After searching for a long time to no avail, An Yiheng stuffed a handful of snow into his mouth and said: "Brother Fang, you are a forest ranger, the terrain in this mountain is clearer than ours, do you know that there are caves and the like around here." ”
