Chapter 8: The Sharpshooter
Senior brother said that we are in a fog, rely on me, let me go back, where am I going? Just when I was puzzled, the senior brother added: "Liangzi, let's go back and tell the master the news, what about you, hurry back to your village, let the grandmother come, didn't the uncle have been a soldier, see if he can call the people in the army, this thing is too big, if it is not the transformation of the essence, I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with it without a gun."

I finally understood what the elder brother meant, this is to tell me to call for help. Well, just right, I want to go back to the village to see everyone, this winter vacation is boring to practice, it would be great to have the opportunity to go back to the village.
So we split up, they went back to Chen's circle to tell Master, and I, so I took a shortcut back to the village to ask for help.
There were several ways back to the village, and I picked the nearest one and ran back. Before I arrived at the village, I heard someone call me, and when I turned around, it turned out to be the second son, "Liangzi, Mr. Chen has given you a holiday, you don't have to go back, we have to have a good time." ”
"Who said I don't have to go back, I have something to do to find grandma, I have to leave in a while, and I'll come back in a few days for the New Year, and we'll have enough fun at that time."
"Okay, if you have something to do, just come to me, I'll go home first." As he spoke, the second son went home with a bucket.
I hurried to my grandmother's house. When I got to the gate, I saw that it was open, and I went straight in, and the room was really lively, with grandma, grandma, uncle, and a few neighbors talking together. When they saw me coming in, they were all stunned, and Grandma Tai asked, "What's the matter, Liangzi, is there something wrong with Master Chen?" ”
If I don't say that I am a capable person, I will ask a little bit, I look around and whisper: "There is something!" ”
After saying that, I stopped talking, and the neighbors understood, and immediately excused themselves to leave the house. That's when I told my grandmother about the giant frog we met and the giant snake we saw.
"There is such a big snake, no, we are a plain, how can there be such a big snake, you are not mistaken?" The uncle asked puzzled.
"No, one person is wrong, all four people will be wrong, we saw it with our own eyes, and the skin that shed is enough to be the width of a whole wall."
The adults in the room fell silent, and I asked, "What should I do, if the snake comes out, it will hurt people." ”
"That's it, Mom, Grandma, you go and meet Mr. Chen first, I'll go to the town to see if I can call a few people from the army, if you don't have a gun, this thing is really hard to deal with."
Grandma agreed with his idea, so he and Grandma were busy packing up things, they also thought the same, if it was really a good thing, the object they brought would work, if it was just a big snake, then it really had to be a gun to solve the problem.
We went in different directions. My grandmother and grandmother went to Chenjiaquan with me, and my uncle went to the town to invite someone.
Before arriving at the entrance of the village in Chenjiaquan, the senior sister greeted her, first greeted her grandmother and grandmother, and then led the way to the master's house. This is also the way of hospitality, especially in Taoism, which is very particular about this, just like the Confucian "etiquette", there can be no sloppiness.
At the gate, the master greeted him, followed by two senior brothers, who greeted each other, and the master asked everyone to come into the room and talk. When we got to the house, a few of us told the adults what we had encountered.
The master asked Grandma Tai: "Such a giant snake, I'm afraid it is a practice, but looking at this residence, it doesn't look like it, but this thing is something from the deep mountains and old forests, and living here for a long time is probably not a good thing for the surrounding villagers, so we still have to use the best way to invite it away." ”
"What you said is that Ah Da has gone to the town to ask for someone, if it is not Chengjing, we will use guns to subdue it."
When we were discussing how to act, there was a car horn outside, and a green jeep stopped at the gate of the yard, and I went out to take a look, and it turned out to be my uncle who had returned, not only did he come back, but he also brought back four people in military uniforms, one was a driver, and the other three were all holding guns, all of whom looked like soldiers.
I was very curious about this gun, so I wanted to touch it, and one of the youngest soldiers took out the gun and let me touch it, and the texture was really different from a toy gun. The uncle said, "Stop playing, let's hurry up and go to the cave of the small mountain bag to catch snakes." ”
It turned out that after the uncle arrived in the town, he explained the situation to the mayor, and when the mayor heard that there was such a big snake on the hill near Chenjiaquan, he was afraid that it would be harmful to the nearby villagers, so he called an assault team of the town's armed team and asked them to follow the uncle to catch the snake.
There is a sharpshooter in this squad, and he is a famous shooting celebrity in the army, so he has been valued by the entire brigade after he arrived at the armed team, and the mayor of the town specially asked this sharpshooter to follow, this person is the little man who gave me a gun to show me, I didn't expect that the one in front of me was a sharpshooter, after listening to my uncle's introduction, I was even more excited, and my heart said that this time it's okay, if it's a demon, there are masters and grandma, too grandma, if it's a giant snake, then it depends on the sharpshooter's power.
The group walked towards the hill, and when we passed by our training ground, Master and Grandma took a special look, and I explained where the giant frog was and how we tracked it.
So we continued along the path we had taken in the morning towards the hill. There was a small ditch in front of us, and beyond that ditch, it was a small hill bag, and our four senior brothers were extremely nervous because they had come in the morning and saw that thing again.
Several PLA uncles from the armed forces let us in the back, and they walked in the front with guns, but they were also extremely careful when walking, which is the basic quality of a soldier when he wants to fight.
Soon the cave was in front of us, and I pointed to it and said, "This is it, the frog is in here, and the serpent is in there!" When I said this, I could feel that the tone of my voice was full of excitement and nervousness.
How to go down, grandma said don't go down rashly, I'll take the test, so she took out the compass that she had carried with her all year round. Since it was daytime, the direction was quickly set, and the yin and yang had to be judged by the compass itself, only to see that the pointer on the compass was also fixed on the plate along the direction pointer.
"It's okay, there should be no evil in it, you can go down, but this compass measures yin and yang, and if it's just a giant snake, it can't be measured, so those who go down must be careful." Grandma Tai said to everyone while collecting the compass.
As soon as the uncle heard that there were no evil things, he said, "In this case, I will go down with a few sharpshooters of the armed team, and you, Mr. Chen, and the children will press us on top." ”
Grandma Tai also felt that this was more secure, because after all, her legs and feet were not as good as before, if it was really a giant snake, it would drag her feet back if she entered, so she agreed to her uncle's action plan.
The uncle took a flashlight and went down the cave with four armed men. After about ten minutes, the uncle and the others came up, and they didn't seem to find anything, but they were carrying something in their hands.
When we looked closer, it turned out to be a huge frog's legs, and it seemed that the giant frog had been eaten by a giant snake.
Uncle They said that after they went in, there was indeed a sour smell inside, and they searched all the corners and corners there, and found this frog's thigh, and a few pieces of snake molt, and did not see the snake, but through the appearance of the snake, they can also conclude that this snake is not an ordinary snake, its length and thickness are unimaginable, but where did this snake go?
At this time, the sun in the sky gradually tilted towards the back mountain, and I thought that if this cave was a giant serpent's nest, then it should not have climbed far, and should go to the back mountain to see what it found.
Everyone is right, maybe the snake just finished eating the big frog and went for a walk in the back mountain. We lined up in a column and searched the back mountain. Although this hill bag is not big from a distance, if you walk around in person, it is not small, when we go around the back mountain, everyone feels a little tired, and the noon sun is shining on the top of the back mountain.
I put my hand up and looked at the mountain, I felt that there was a shining place, and then looked closely, but I was startled, it turned out that the shining place was the light emitted by the scales of the big snake, and then I looked at the snake's body, coiled up, thicker than two trees, and the big letter spit out a leaf, like a big red cloth stretched and contracted. Because it is coiled, it is difficult to judge how long it is, but judging from its thickness, this big snake will not be short.
At the same time I saw it, everyone also saw it, because it was the first time for adults to see it, so they were also surprised, with their experience, they thought that this snake was incredible, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant snake.
But at the moment, it seems that the giant snake is basking in the sun, and it is impossible to get close and catch it with your hands, but if you have to shoot it with a gun, if you can't hit it accurately, at the current distance, it will run over, and we can't avoid it.
Master said, "The timing is not good, we are too close, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is better for us to go back and ambush at the entrance of the cave." ”
So everyone agreed with Master, and we began to retreat cautiously, little by little, to the entrance of the cave. The master asked the senior brother and sister to find some rattan sticks that could be fastened, and then took out a handful of iron wire from the backpack, and braided the rattan wire to make a slip buckle, which was exactly the same size as the mouth of the cave, and then asked him to put sulfur in the hole, and sprinkle a circle of sulfur ten meters away from the hole, and tied one end of the live buckle to a tree, and we carefully withdrew from the circle and found a bunker on the other side of the ditch to hide.
Just as we were getting ready for this, the sun began to gradually set and the weather became cold again, and we heard a "sizzling" sound coming from the small hill, and with the writhing of the huge body, everyone's hearts also hung in the air.
