The Tomb of the Yellow Skin Chapter 15

But I was so anxious to save that I forgot that I was on the slope, and the front legs of the horse were raised high, and the two hind legs of the horse lost their center of gravity, and when the horse's hooves fell, they did not step on the worm as expected, but staggered in the direction of the slope, and this time they did not restrain the horse, and the horse took me down the grassy slope.

When I looked back, I saw that the experienced "old sheepskin" did not run fast on the slope, he knew that there may be other mouse holes on the grassy hill, and this kind of terrain, once a blow could not save Ding Sitian, and it would be too late to turn the horse back, so he was half a step slower than me and the fat man, at this time the old sheepskin had pulled the "Kangxi treasure knife" out of the sheath, and the fiery red sunset reflected the blade with cold light.

It's too late, it's fast, seeing that the worm is about to pounce on Ding Sitian, I saw the old sheepskin in the hand of the knife flashed, and a knife was slashed on the side of the worm, there are big flower species in the worm, once the worm is old, the shell will gradually become hard, but only the foot is so thin that it is extremely incompatible with the body, it will often break, and it can be regenerated if it is broken.

The worm turned over in the long grass in pain a few times, and finally failed to bite Ding Sitian, but it then twisted its body, swam in the grass like the wind, and then jumped up in the air with a rush, and pounced on the old sheepskin, the old sheepskin saw that he had just failed to swing the worm into two sections, and the other party made a comeback, fortunately, although he was old, but the perennial nomadic life made his skills still flexible, and hurriedly leaned over the saddle bridge, and the worm swooped over his back with a gust of fishy wind, and fell empty.

The worm has a peculiar habit, can not be seen during the day, it comes out after dusk, smells fishy and moves, the black spot flower on the grassland is the most poisonous, it is not surprising to bite the horses, cattle and sheep, only to see the empty worm fall behind the old sheepskin, and do not turn back, climb straight to the jujube red horse with broken legs, the jujube red horse is unable to move, see a thick grasshopper crawl to the body, know that if it bites it must be in the catastrophe, want to flip the horse body to crush this poisonous insect with its own weight, but before it acts, it was pierced into the nerve by the gills and feet of the worm, In an instant, his eyes turned blue, and he died stiffly in the grass.

Although the worm can poison the cattle and horses, but the cattle and horses are thick, so usually it only eats small beasts, and some big worms occasionally eat people, the herdsmen regard the horses as if they were their lives, and the old sheepskin saw that the jujube red horse died, and was naturally very sad, in addition to feeling sorry for the horse, he was more worried that this time even the cattle and horses died a lot, and he couldn't explain to the pastoral area when he went back, but he immediately found that the yellow, green and black spotted big worm bit the horses to death, and then pounced on him and Ding Sitian.

At the critical moment, he didn't care about being sad for the jujube red horse, so he quickly stretched out his hand to Ding Sitian and pulled her onto the mount, and the two rode the retired old military horse together, knocking the stirrups with both feet, and the old military horse carried the old sheepskin and Ding Sitian, and jumped down the slope of the grassy hill.

I and the fat man turned the horse's head and was about to rush back again, but saw that the old sheepskin with Ding Sitian had run to our side, the grass behind them rustled, and the big worm more than one meter long also followed closely behind, I saw that the worm was menacing, and it could poison a Mongolian horse in an instant, and I didn't dare to step on it again, and made a gesture, Yu Fat turned the horse's head again, and everyone urged the horse to escape into the forest, wanting to use the horse's speed to get rid of the chasing worm.

But as soon as I entered the woods, I regretted it, the deeper into the col, the denser the trees became, and it was indeed a pleasure to run horses on the wide grassland, without hindrance, but where there were trees, it was really dizzying to ride horses, and the horses galloped through the bushes, and watched the strange ancient trees fly past me, and it felt as if they would crash into the trees at any moment.

I quickly pulled the reins, but the specially trained horse can only stop and stop, my horse is not very obedient, not only did not stop but rushed out of the oblique stab, and the fat man who was running next to the horse was also squeezed off the route.

The fat man's mount took him to an old tree, the old tree had a thick branch that grew very low, just across the fat man's route, the fat man saw this, and hurriedly came to hide in a kick, this trick he only looked at the herdsmen on the grassland, he had not practiced at all, he pulled his legs out of the pedal, his body clumsily slant on the horse's back, curled up and fell on the side of the mount, although the action was ugly, but just avoided the horizontal branch.

The fat man was quite proud of his appearance, but he was afraid that the rest of the people would not see his hand, and shouted for everyone to pay attention to his movements, but he would only imitate half of the way he was hiding in this pedal, he was fat and weighty, and it would be difficult to turn back on the horse's back, and then his mount was about to run between two big trees, and the width of the two trees could exceed that of a horse, but the side of the horse and the fat man could not pass anyway, and the fat man saw that he was about to hit the tree, and there was no way to hide, and it was impossible for the horse to stop. He simply closed his eyes and abandoned his horse and rolled to the ground, falling into a mess of grass, and the horse jumped into the depths of the dense forest without looking back.

I patronized to see the fat man hiding in his feet, and was also knocked off his horse by a thick branch, relying on his thick clothes, his ribs were not broken, and he held the branch in both hands and hung in the air, and his crotch got off his horse and galloped into the dense fog of the forest with the fat man's mount, and they all ran away in a moment, leaving only a string of horses' hooves broken.

I held the branch hanging in the air, not up to the sky, not down to the ground, the ribs were knocked to a faint pain, just wanted to let go of let go of let go of let go of the grass, but I listened to the "rustle" sound in the wild grass under my feet, the big worm that was cut off three pairs of feet came out of the grass, opened its teeth and claws and raised its head, rushed to my feet is a jump, I didn't see it well, quickly waist and legs force, turned over and climbed up the branch.

The old sheepskin is skillful, although he and Ding Sitian rode together, and rode an old horse, running still in the forest much faster than us, after entering the woods, he left me and the fat man behind, Ding Sitian turned around and saw me and the fat man fall off the horse, so he immediately told the old sheepskin, the two of them turned around, and ran into me on the branch to avoid the attack of the worm.

The worm in the ancient tree and grass saw the advance and retreat like electricity, not waiting for the old sheepskin horse to enter, it turned from the grass behind them, the person stood up and opened his feet to bite the old military horse's hips, I lay on the branch to see the real, a exclamation, I thought that it was a pity that this empathetic retired military horse, but in the end died tragically under the mouth of the worm.
