Chapter 4: The Flying Snake

Liujiazhuang is in the south of Chenjiaquan, one morning, a few of us are still practicing in the yard, the master is meditating next to it, someone came to knock on the door, the senior sister went to open the door, it was Liu Wang, the village chief of Liujiazhuang, who broke in, without saying a word, he went to the water tank to scoop a spoonful of cold water to drink, there was no habit of drinking hot water in the countryside in the past, not to mention that every household had a big water tank at that time, and the water was also drawn from the well, so it tasted sweet and refreshing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Master told Liu Wang to drink slowly, don't choke. Liu Wang stabilized his mind at this time, and talked about the reason here. It turned out that after the reform and opening up, the countryside began to explore all kinds of ways to get rich, Liujiazhuang, one is to open up a side business of planting jujube trees, and the other is that some villagers began to raise chickens. In the past, chickens were raised for their own family to eat, but now some people have a scale and can be sold in the market, which is a business that can get cash, so people's enthusiasm is getting higher and higher. If there is one raised, there will be a second one, and it has become fashionable to raise chickens in Liujiazhuang for a while.

But just a few days ago, people found that the chickens were decreasing for no reason, but the chicken pen was also set up on the platform, and the chicken coop was surrounded by iron wire nets, and the mesh was so small that even the weasel couldn't get in, so what's going on? Besides, if there is a problem, the dog in the yard will bark, so why didn't even the dog find out.

People reported the news to the village, and the village chief Liu Wang was also very puzzled, but he couldn't think of a way, only when he saw what was stealing the chicken, he could only think of a way. Some people speculated whether there were bad people to steal chickens, but they were also denied by everyone, how could bad people avoid the eyes of dogs.

So Liu Wang took everyone to set up an ambush last night to see what was going on. The night in the countryside is very beautiful, and now it is summer, and when they hear that they are going to set up an ambush at night to catch the chicken thief, everyone is interested, and they sit on a big rock at the head of the village and chat, while waiting for the night to come.

In the summer of this countryside, especially at night, it is still a little cool, the adults are afraid that the children will catch a cold, so they let the children go home to sleep, the night is deeper, the women also go back, and the rest of the men have gone to the village's largest chicken farmer Liu Sanjia, Liu San raised six circles of chickens, there are hundreds, and the whole yard is occupied by chicken pens all around. As soon as I entered the courtyard, there was a smell of, but the rural people didn't care about this, and a few big men entered the house, but their eyes were staring at the six circles of chickens, and they saw that they could figure out who the chicken thief was tonight.

There was no light in the house, for fear of attracting the attention of the chicken thief, and also to better see the situation in the yard. But everyone has a copy of the guy in their hands, some are holding flashlights and kerosene lamps ready to light up the situation, some are preparing at the lamp rope, and they will turn on the lights whenever there is a situation, and some are holding the handy guys in their hands and preparing to fight the chicken thief, and everything is quietly prepared in this darkness.

As time passed, the moon gradually reached the sky, so the yard was a big moon in the yard, and people said in their hearts, if it weren't for this chicken thief, everyone would be sleeping soundly at home, this hateful chicken thief!

Just waiting, some of us are sleepy, and there seems to be no movement in the yard at all, and some say let's go back, it's so late, it seems that this chicken thief won't come, and even if he comes, he may not necessarily go to Liu San's house. But the village chief didn't let people go, he said that after watching the second half of the night, we must get to the bottom of it.

The yard was very quiet, and there were people squatting in the house who yawned, and at this time, the village chief Liu Wang felt a flash of light, and disappeared on the chicken pen, and he was afraid that he was wrong, so he asked others what they saw just now? There was a young man who said that he seemed to see a flash of green light, he said this, the village chief felt that he was not wrong, so he asked everyone to pay attention, as if there was a situation, this time, everyone's sleepiness was gone, not to mention that waiting here for a night was to find a reason, who is not excited, besides, find the reason, everyone benefits.

Several pairs of eyes were staring at the chicken pen where the green light flashed just now. This big moon is really good, there is a little reflection of the window glass just on the chicken pen, so with the light, everyone can see some things with the naked eye.

Soon, I saw another flash of green light, and a line-like shadow slid from the top of the chicken pen to the barbed wire of the chicken pen, and all of a sudden, the line-like shadow got into the chicken pen. Since people were staring at it with all their attention, they could feel that the chickens in the chicken pen had blown up the camp in the pen, and they should have entered something.

Liu Wang gave an order: "Turn on the lights!" The people who were squatting on the guard could do their jobs, and some of them immediately turned on the headlights in the yard, and the fast ones had already gotten off the kang and rushed to the chicken pen with flashlights.

The slow ones soon followed, and everyone stared at the chicken pen against the wall, and found that the chickens in the whole chicken pen were so frightened that they hid in a corner, and on the other side, an emerald green snake was swallowing a chicken, and the chicken's paws were still outside the snake's mouth, which seemed to have just been swallowed. People also wondered, how could such a small snake swallow such a large chicken in one bite? When everyone was curious, the little green snake also saw everyone, only to see it "swish" to spit out the chicken in its mouth, and then drilled out of the barbed wire at the fastest speed, what is even more amazing is that before everyone reflected, the little green snake was like a bird, running two steps, spreading its wings, and flying into the sky.

Now people are dumbfounded, this is something that has never been seen before, it is not strange that snakes eat chickens, this snake can fly, this is a new thing. The village chief responded quickly, hurry up and let everyone chase after him, and everyone also chased out of the yard, and ran towards the jujube grove at the edge of the village with the flying snake.

The flight trajectory of this snake and the bird is different, the bird flies by the vibration of its wings, and the wings of this snake seem to be open all the time, and it does not fan, so it keeps gliding towards the jujube forest.

The jujube trees in this summer were originally green and green, and as soon as the snake entered the forest, it was mixed with those jujube trees, and everyone was in a hurry at the edge of the forest. I waited until the sun came out, but I didn't find the shadow of the flying snake, so the village chief Liu Wang thought that my master, Mr. Chen, had the ability and knowledge, and asked him to give an idea.

After listening to Liu Wang's description, the master did not speak, but asked the senior brother to come into the house and get a booklet, and then turned it page by page, in the middle page, a picture appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the master asked Liu Wang to look at it, Liu Wang looked at the picture, and immediately said: "Yes, it's this snake, it's exactly the same!" ”

When he said this, we were also curious, so we leaned over to look at it, and saw that the picture was really a snake with wings, coiled on a tree and spitting letters, and there were a few lines of small characters on the picture.

Master said: "This is a flying snake, it is rare, but it is not a spirit, it is just a rare snake, but this snake is very good for people who practice light skills, there is a kind of true qi in its body, and if you swallow its true qi for many years, you can grow your strength!" ”

"Huh? Swallowing its true qi, is it mouth-to-mouth inhalation with it, isn't that scared to death? "The second senior brother said that everyone was happy.

"It's not necessarily mouth-to-mouth, but if you want to get that true qi, it is necessary to catch it alive, which of you wants to catch one?" Master looked at the four of us as he spoke.

I'm not afraid of snakes, but I'm not practicing light skills, although I also practice, but not majoring, and the second senior brother is majoring in light skills, but he is the most afraid of snakes, so when the master said this, several of us looked at the second senior brother, he was embarrassed, and his face was red.

In the end, the senior brother relieved the siege and said: "Since it is a flying snake, it must run fast, I am afraid that one person may not be able to do it, it is better for the four of us to go together, and everyone will have a share!" ”

The master said okay, just to see how your kung fu is practiced, let the senior brother lead the team, and go to Liujiazhuang to catch the flying snake under the guidance of the village chief Liu Wang.

Before entering the village, some villagers greeted him and reported: "Last night, not only Liu San'er's chicken pen was patronized by flying snakes, but other people's chickens were also lost!" The village chief touched his head, "Damn, is this flying snake still an accomplice?"

His reminder made us happy, and he said in his heart that it is better to have accomplices, and one is not enough. The village chief took our four children into the village, and when the villagers saw that the village chief had not invited Mr. Chen, and brought back the four children, some of them asked: "Village chief, are you a string of relatives, these children belong to your relatives' family, right?" ”

"Go, go, go, where to go to relatives, I still have a heart to string relatives, these four are Mr. Chen's apprentices, and they were sent by Mr. Chen to help us catch the flying snake!" The village chief said as he let the four of us into their house.

Liu Wang's daughter-in-law made breakfast for us, this rural person, is enthusiastic, see the guests, cook a good meal is natural, just this time, there are villagers sent fresh eggs and fresh vegetables, said to treat us well, let us eat enough to catch the snake demon.

As soon as the second senior brother heard that it was a snake hunting demon, he almost squirted out the porridge that he drank in his mouth, and the senior sister explained: "It's not a snake demon, it's a flying snake, don't be afraid, it's just an uncommon animal." ”

One morning, everyone has eaten enough, and then they have to work, but how to do it? If you go into the jujube forest to catch it, the forest is too big, and the flying snake has a protective color, so it is difficult to control the target, but you can't wait until the evening to catch it, it will be too time-consuming. I came up with a way to lure the snake out of the hole.

That's what I said, I think the flying snake that went to Liu San's house last night didn't eat the chicken, so it's still hungry, and it was chased by the villagers all night, so it must be very hungry, let's take a live chicken to the edge of the jujube forest, lure it out, and then rush to a place where there is no tree, so it's easy to catch it. Everyone said it was a good idea, so we started preparing to catch the flying snake. At this time, a person came in from outside the door, carrying a thing in his hand, and everyone looked at it and said that this thing was really needed.
