The big head only cared about eating meat and drinking wine the whole time, and he didn't speak, and when he heard the smoker mention his name, he hurriedly spoke, "Put the scales aside in advance, I was busy running for my life before I didn't think about it, but now I am at ease, and this matter is back in my mind." ”

Pouring the last sip of wine into his mouth, Datou continued, "I was wondering before, how can there be such a creature in the forest here, you know, the climate in northern Shaanxi is not very good, it is dry, there is little water, we ran from the village for a day and a night, in fact, we did not run far, so this forest should still belong to the plains, the forests in the plains, and the surrounding villages are also villages, if there is such a creature as a forest snake, then we should have heard more or less before." Thinking about it, I only thought of one possibility. ”

Swallowing and foaming, the big head looked quite excited. "I once read a book that said that whenever there are unusual creatures or scenes in ordinary areas, there must be something strange underground, and most of these strangeness are treasures. Because of the cold nature of treasures, creatures like to live around them, just like the ancients said that they were protecting treasures. Jewelry is buried in the ground all the year round, which will exude some elements that stimulate growth, and even Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions" is even tied to the life of a "Tongling Jade"; In addition, we can find a large number of records about jade from pre-Qin classics and official histories, notes, chronicles, and novels. Jade seems to have become a symbol of the identity, rank and wealth of the emperor and nobles, and once formed the custom of "the gentleman does not go to the jade without a reason". Therefore, the appearance of the forest snake in a place where it should not appear, and the growth of such a creature in a place that should not be like this, is mostly affected by treasure. ”

"So, now that you're all full, why don't you go on a treasure hunt?"

Wang Fatzi had already straightened his eyes when he first heard the 'treasure', and at this moment, the big head's proposal, of course, was in the right place, and he immediately raised his hand to agree.

The four of us looked at each other, thought about it for a moment, and agreed. The reason is actually very simple, we have escaped, we will not be able to return to the city for a short time, there is nowhere else to go, there is nothing else to do. Since the big head said that there is a treasure, it is better to look for it, maybe you can really find something, make a small fortune or something.

Seeing that we all agreed, the big head hurriedly said, "Since we have all decided, we will pack our things and prepare to go, the smell of this barbecue is a little big, maybe it will attract some hungry animals, in case it is a big guy, it will be difficult to deal with." ”

Indeed, recognizing this level of power, you have to move even if you don't want to. Soon we were packed, put out the fire, and ready to go.

The big head called the monkey over, "Take this flashlight, you are the smallest here, I need you to climb into the belly of the forest snake to see if there is anything similar to the treasure in it, this will help us find the location of the treasure faster, trouble you." ”

The monkey took the flashlight, turned it on, and without saying a word, shrank into it until we couldn't hear anything through the thick layer of flesh. As the minutes ticked by, I raised my hand and looked at my watch again and again, and finally forty minutes later, the monkey crawled out again, full of fishy smell, but he smiled and pulled out a golden hairpin from his pocket, which was covered with the thick mud of the slime in the snake's belly, and it did not seem to have been swallowed for a long time.

The big head took the hairpin, carefully wiped off the mucus on it with his sleeve, and then first buckled a little dirt down with his fingers, pinched it, put it in front of his nose and asked, and then, something happened to us dumbfounded, he actually didn't care about stuffing the dirt into his mouth.

"Big head, didn't you eat just now? Don't mind, I still have a few pieces of meat in my pocket, I'll give it to you. The fat man opened his mouth wide and looked at the big head incredulously.

"Put your bullshit, I want to taste the taste of this soil, so that I can judge which direction I want to go, there is still a lot of water in this soil, which means that there must be a low land not far from here, it has not rained for nearly half a month recently, and the dirt on the hairpin is not dew, it is the smell of rain, it must be that it has been silted there since the last rain, and it has not evaporated completely."

"Are you sure it's rain, not whatever, the smell of slime?" I couldn't help but ask.

The big head glared at me. "We deserve our luck this time, since it is buried in the lowland, it means that so many years have passed, under the influence of the natural environment, and the situation that this forest python can swallow this hairpin into its stomach, it is very likely that the upper end of the treasure has been exposed, so that it will be much easier for us to find it."

"That being said, it's probably not so easy to find a lowland in such a large area." Taro asked.

"Don't worry about that, don't we have monkeys here? In the same forest, the lowland trees will be significantly shorter than the non-lowland ones, and it will be easy to see if the monkey finds a tree, climbs to the top, and looks out where it appears lower. And the forest worm is near here, and the lowlands are not too far away. Since it wants to protect the treasure, it naturally won't run far. After the big head explained, he wiped the hairpin on his body vigorously, revealing the golden yellow color it should have. He raised the hairpin and squinted at it for a moment, then handed it back to the monkey.

"It's yours." The monkey took it in flattery, and looked at us in disbelief, as if we didn't dare to ask for it, and we all smiled at him, and he dared to carefully put it away and put it in his underwear pocket. After hiding the hairpin, the monkey put down the bag on his back, climbed a tree three times and two times, and then climbed up.

When we first met before, we also talked about why his skills are so good, whether it is running, jumping, or climbing, he is very ruthless, he just smiled and said that he was beaten too much by his father when he was a child, and every time he hit him, he ran and hid in various ways, and he became more and more proficient over time. Hearing him say this, we can't say anything more, after all, it's not a happy thing for him to have a past like this, and talking more can only reveal the scars in his heart. Probably from that time on, he will no longer be bullied, everyone will take care of him as a younger brother, although sometimes he will be asked to do a lot of things, but he will not suffer in the end. I think he knew this very well in his heart, so he worked harder later.
