Chapter 4: The Cockscomb Snake
The sky was overcast as if it was about to fall, and the door of the second son's house was closed, and the two wooden doors were a little scary on such a strange morning, which I never felt when I usually came to the second son's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The moment I pushed the door with my hand, I saw a terrifying scene that I hadn't seen when I was so big, and I saw that the second son's father was raising the machete, and was about to cut something, and as soon as I pushed the door, the moment he turned around, the bright knife flashed in front of me, not letting this yard scare my soul away, but let this reckless man almost scare my soul away.
There was a little girl standing at the door of the main room, needless to say, it must be Xiao Jing, I glanced at it, well, not fat or thin, long, black hair, pinned with a beautiful little hairpin, floral skirt, white socks, black cloth shoes, indeed a beautiful little girl.
I held my legs, which were trembling with fear from the machete, and hurriedly merged, steadied my mind, and was about to give Xiao Jing the little wildflowers I picked on the road, but I was stopped by a loud scream.
"Ryoko, don't move, go back!" It was none other than the second son's brother and the fourth generation uncle.
How can you call it uncle? In fact, even the second son I have to call uncle, in this village, if I say that I am a nephew, I am really a nephew, but according to the generation, the generation is the youngest, even the jade lock is a small point, I have to call him uncle, which makes me so faceless. So in normal times, the older ones are called uncles, and the same age as me or a few years younger than me, I don't call them uncles, I call them by their names, and then when I grow up, every time I think of these childhood years, these uncles, big and small, have also become unforgettable family memories in memories.
Such a name like the four generations, in the past in the countryside is very common, but in the same village is rare, as long as there are four generations of such a name, it must be said that the old man has seen the four generations, indicating that the old man has a long life, the change of direction is also boasting of the filial piety of his children, the countryside in the eighties, the average life expectancy of people is not as good as now, although it is also green mountains and green waters, but can not keep up with nutrition, can not keep up with medical treatment, now it looks like a small illness, at that time, may be able to take the life of an old man, Therefore, no matter what the child's name is, the nickname must be called "four generations", and after a long time, we have even forgotten these four generations of names, they have become forever four generations, which is a microcosm of an era.
The four generations screamed, so startled that I took a few steps back, almost lost the little wildflowers, just pay attention to the quiet, I found that the sound came from the big locust tree in the yard, and then take a closer look, the four generations sent me a warning from the top of the tree, why let me go back? Why did the four generations run to the top of the tree? By the way, why did Xiao Jing really stand there motionless as if she was still still? And why is the second son's father's pale face and raised machete? The answer to all this, when I looked at the root of the big locust tree, was not clear.
It turned out that under the big locust tree opposite the door of the second son's house, there was a snake, although the snake was not long, nor thick, but what was intimidating was that it was black and black, and the two small eyes were red and red, and what was even more frightening was that there was a big rooster's red crown on the head of the black snake.
I carefully observed the position of the black snake, not to mention, it will really choose the position, directly facing Xiaojing, there are four generations on the tree, this is an excellent position to attack and defend with one to two, it seems that only the father of the second son can run away, but as an adult, as the father of the child, and his niece is also being threatened here, there is a second son lying on the bed in the house, can the father of the second son run? Looking at it this way, this black snake is really menacing, where is this one enemy two, this is clearly to drive this family away!
"Use a machete!" I hurriedly reminded the second father, he is an expert in chopping wood in the whole village, and there is a time when the team has to work to calculate the work points, the second son father is the highest score every time, the whole village is envious, not to mention, just look at his thick body, look at his thick arms, you know how much strength this person has. But at this time, the second son's father was like a fool, holding a knife and not daring to move forward.
Seeing that the sweat of the second son's father had already wet the ground under his feet, I slapped my head, alas! Yes, the second son is afraid of snakes, it's funny to think about, such a big man, I'm afraid of this long thing, once we caught a loach when we went to the ground, there was no place to put it, so we put it in the basket where the second son chopped wood, and then we forgot, I heard the second son say that after returning home, when his father touched the loach in the basket, he was so frightened that he fainted directly, or the second son was rescued by pinching people. Whenever the farmer was busy chatting, everyone talked about it as a joke.
What can I do, a few of us are children, just an adult, and we are afraid of snakes, this is not bad if we are not scared and faint, what else can we expect? At this time, there was a fluttering sound on the eaves of the second son's house, and I looked up and saw a white shadow, hey, the savior is coming, it's Xiaobai! It is the uncle raised the pigeon Xiaobai since childhood, speaking of which, it is one year younger than me, when the uncle enlisted in the special forces, the most reluctant is Xiaobai, thousands of instructions to let the family take care of Xiaobai, at that time I still have to be held by others, of course I can not take care of it, but when I just can walk and talk, I am very close to Xiaobai, it can also be said that I grew up with Xiaobai, as long as I whistle, it can accurately fly to my hands, shoulders, I am often proud of it.
At this critical moment, it really surprised and delighted me to see Xiaobai, but looking at the black snake that was spitting out the letter, I didn't dare to whistle, isn't this a provocation! But I don't know if I do other actions, Xiaobai can know what I mean, alas, no way, I can only try, I gently waved to Xiaobai with the bouquet of wildflowers held in my right hand, and it was really magical, Xiaobai actually understood, it gently bypassed the locust tree, and gently fell on my shoulder, I was moved and almost cried, in front of Xiaojing, I still held back.
I hurriedly took out the most tender branch of the toon that my grandmother brought to Xiaojing, handed it to Xiaobai's mouth, and made a gesture to report home, Xiaobai comprehended, a harrier turned over, no, it was a pigeon turned over, a white light was the same, and flew away, I was so moved that I was going to cry again, but I thought that there was a girl in front of me, or I couldn't help it, I mean I was moved to cry, but I wasn't afraid, I was so bold, no, what was there to be afraid of with such a big courage :)
Then there is only to wait, the sky is overcast and even more frightening, the black snake has no intention of running, and still maintains the appearance of attacking at any time, probably a little afraid of the machete in the hand of the second son's father, so he is still thinking about something for the time being. Looking at the second son's father again, I don't know if it's the sweat that flowed down, or I'm scared to pee, there are already small puddles on the mud under his feet, I almost laughed out loud when I saw this, but at this critical time, I still have this heart to laugh, and my heart is big enough.
The position of several of us, Xiao Jing is the most dangerous, she is the closest to the black snake, and the black snake with the red cockscomb is also staring at Xiao Jing intently, as if as long as she attacks, the first one will definitely pounce on Xiao Jing.
I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a short while, but we all felt like it had passed a long time, and several of us felt like we couldn't support it, it seemed that Xiao Jing's legs were already shaking, and the feet of the second son father were already able to raise fish, now that I think about it, I still don't understand why the second son father was not dehydrated at that time? Maybe it's because of the responsibility of adults to protect children.
Suddenly, there was a tremor on the big locust tree, and when I looked up, it turned out that the bodies of the four generations on the top of the tree were trembling, as if they were seeing something, but it didn't look frightened, but as if they were excited. It wasn't until the sound of the door being pushed behind me, accompanied by the sound of my grandmother's crutches knocking on the ground, that I knew that we were saved.
