Chapter 21: Companions
Now we finally understand how Aunt Dan's companion in the lake died. It turned out that the bones on the body were shattered because they were entangled by this giant python, and the small scars on the neck were the inverted tooth scratches in the python's mouth.
Generally, snakes prey on prey, first of all, they must tightly entangle the prey with their bodies, and then devour, last year I and my fat brother in the crater under Mount Tai, I have seen a big snake preying on white frogs, and I don't need to explain what I saw with my own eyes. And now the death of the one-horned assistant fully proves this. I am afraid that only this kind of big snake can cause the tragic state of human bones being shattered.
I thought it was man-made, but it was so cruel that it could smash all the bones of people. Now that this unsolved case has been solved, if we can see Uncle Galu and the shaman, I will definitely tell us the truth about what we have seen. This is not a punishment from some god, but it comes down to the law of survival of the law of survival in nature.
But then again, shamanism reveres all living beings as sacred, and such a huge creature can naturally be attributed to a divine beast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a punishment of the gods.
Don't look at the dead as insignificant to us, but after all, watching a lively and humorous peer die because of such a trivial matter as crossing a waterhole, a layer of sadness is inevitably enveloped in the crowd.
Even Su Rina, who vowed to punish the traitor and eliminate evil, showed a sad expression on her face, it seems that she is not infinitely rational and selfless, and she still has some emotional things in her heart.
I patted the unicorn on the shoulder, and as a simple comfort, I didn't speak, because I really couldn't find the right words to express what I was thinking at the moment. Although I haven't known the one-horned assistant for a long time, and I don't even know his name, the death of a companion is a very serious thing for those of us who have hardly experienced the storm.
At this time, my sad Cheng dΓΉ is not necessarily much worse than the single horn, I think he has seen a lot of dead people, he has been a hunter for so many years, and his companions who died under the attack of fierce beasts may be more than double digits.
Unihorn didn't show excessive sadness, but I could clearly feel his trembling with the hand on his shoulder. Maybe this is the face of the tough guy when he is sad, right? Although there were no tears or wailing, the grief, anger, and loneliness suppressed in his heart filled his entire chest, making him tremble constantly, like a high-speed molecule that could explode at any time. At this time, any untimely comfort may ignite his fuse, so silent comfort may also be the most appropriate choice at this moment.
If he dies under the guns of the mercenaries, we can at least use the words of revenge to comfort and motivate the unicorn, but after all, it is an ignorant beast, and he has already died under my sword, and it is nothing more than a life for a life, should we help the unicorn kill all the snakes in this mountain? It's so unrealistic.
The fat brother and Su Rina are relatively straight, they don't comfort people, and they don't express their feelings, they just stand there blankly, looking at the deceased, and they don't know what to do.
Jiang Li and Yan Qiu's temperament is still relatively soft, and when they saw their companions die, tears inevitably scattered. Blinded by tears, he did not forget to wipe his tears while picking all kinds of wild flowers and decorating the raft for us to cross the river.
In the end, everyone worked together to carry the body of the deceased onto the raft, and who knew that the raft made by Dujiao himself turned out to be his assistant's funeral tool.
The unicorn whispered, "Do you have any coins?" Or jade and other ornaments, lend me two, and I will return them twice as much when I get back. β
We searched for a long time, but there were no coins, but Jiang Li and Yan Qiu contributed the amber pendant they bought on Erlian Street before.
The one horn put two pieces of amber on the two eyes of the assistant, and then slowly pushed the raft into the pool, allowing it to carry our deceased down the river, of course, it is possible to join the previous dead in the lake, and on the way to the underworld, the two of them will be together.
Seeing the assistant surrounded by wild flowers gradually disappear, the unicorn finally couldn't help it, as if all the years of grudge had erupted at this moment, and once again slammed his knees to the ground, and then he howled and cried. Tears flowed down like a waterfall, and the cry resounded through the valley and echoed for a long time. In this passionate cry, Jiang Li and Yan Qiu's sobs were particularly subtle.
The fat brother and I saw that the unicorn had cried so much that his lips turned white, for fear that he would also have the same altitude sickness as me, so we hurriedly stepped forward and helped the unicorn up one by one.
The fat brother didn't know what to say, he just kept chanting: "Festival mourning, festival mourning." β
Holding on to the weak horn, away from the waterhole, we found a piece of ground on the slope with rocks outcropping and sat down. One is that there are other dangers in the water, but I am afraid that the cry of the unicorn will cause unnecessary trouble, and I have been standing on the edge of the pool, I am afraid that it will only increase the sadness, so it is better to stay away from the pool.
After sitting down, everyone was still silent, and no one urged them to rush up the mountain, and they didn't know what they were thinking with their heads down, probably like me, they were all looking at their previous lives.
I used to think it was a good place with beautiful scenery and a lot of hustle and bustle. Looking at this place now, there may be hidden murder opportunities everywhere, and I don't know when something unexpected will happen. The death of the unicorn assistant is also a wake-up call for us, it is better to take advantage of the fact that life is still alive, look back and think about the road we have traveled, do we still have regrets?
In order to lighten the mood, I asked Unihorn, "Have you seen that kind of python before?" Is there a specific name? β
The unicorn said fiercely: "That kind of giant python has a name, it is a water anaconda." A large anaconda can devour crocodiles, but I've never seen anything that big. β
I nodded in understanding, and then asked, "What's your assistant's name?" I haven't bothered to ask for the past two days. β
Dujiao wiped away his tears and replied in a low voice: "His name is Daiqin, which means brave warrior in Mongolian. β
I said, "Sure enough, it's a belligerent people, and this parent should give their child such a name." β
Unicorn shook his head and said, "He doesn't have parents, and I gave him his name." β
The fat brother immediately expressed his guess and asked the unicorn: "Is he your child?" β
I don't think it's like, judging from the appearance, the unicorn looks much rougher, like a veteran who has experienced vicissitudes, and there is a simplicity between his eyebrows and eyes. And his assistant is tall, with white skin, a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows and big eyes, like a young man who goes to nightclubs all day long, has no money but has a very personality personality.
Judging from his daily behavior in the past two days, his assistant is very active, and he makes all kinds of jokes unabashedly, and his son should be a little restrained in front of his father, right? Could it be that this one-horn and which rich daughter have a love affair that transcends class? After being an inverted son-in-law, he gave birth to a wild and uninhibited son-in-law? Real life isn't so bloody, is it?
The answer that the unicorn gave to the fat brother at that time was just two words: "Forget it." β
"Yes, yes, no, no, count, what's the answer?" The fat brother was also wrapped in by a single horn.
It seems that everyone is not very satisfied with this answer, especially Yan Qiu, whose gossip heart disguised by curiosity exploded instantly, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on?" Why do you say yes? β
The unicorn was blank, still looking in the direction of the waterhole, as if recalling the past, and he said lightly: "Actually, I haven't caught a unicorn." β
Su Rina continued: "I know that if there is a unicorn in the world, you must use it to bluff people." β
Unicorn ignored Surina and continued, "I almost died under the unicorn's attack. β
As soon as these words came out, all of us turned our eyes to Su Rina, expressing our unconcealed and silent condemnation of her.
Su Rina also found that she had lost her words, and she stuck out her tongue and did not dare to speak again.
Although we have never seen a unicorn, the bones of the unicorn, we are in the big cage of Cao Cao's tomb, but we have seen it with our own eyes, there is no doubt that there was a zΓ i, and it is unknown whether it is extinct or not. However, I can feel that the next story told by the unicorn will be a personal experience without exaggeration.
When the commotion ceased to be in the crowd, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone stared at the horn, waiting for him to give us the exact answer to the young assistant whom he had named, called Dai Chin.
Like one of the most memorable passages in a memoir, the unicorn tells us the reasons why he is nicknamed the unicorn, and also describes how this assistant who is his own child has a relationship with him, and the specific reasons why he embarked on the road of hunting and selling/selling rare animals.
Let us have a deeper understanding of the person and his previous experience. Maybe this qiΔ has been predestined for a long time, or maybe at some point, we have also crossed paths with each other.
