Zheng Yushi was fascinated by what he heard, and even the tea he picked up stopped at his mouth and forgot to drink it.

The shopkeeper Lu is like a storyteller, speaking very attractive and emotional, and the old man Jiang is also very involved in listening, and the shopkeeper Lu stopped at the critical moment, and he couldn't wait to ask: "What happened to the accident?" ”

Shopkeeper Lu took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then continued calmly: "Just when the medicine was about to boil up, the monster had not slept for several days and nights, and was so sleepy that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he fell to the ground and fell asleep unconsciously.

But when it was awakened by a strange movement, it woke up in a daze, and vaguely saw that the pot seemed to have been overturned, and then it was suddenly startled, and immediately fully awakened, and when the monster got up from the ground, it found that the pot of soup had fallen from the shelf, and the soup had been spilled on the ground, and several deer, rabbits, and a snake were drinking the remaining soup in the pot, as if the soup in the pot was incomparably delicious to them, and they were reluctant to leave even a drop.

When the monster saw this, it felt extremely sorry and sad, although it could not predict the prophet, but everything related to its own destiny could not be predicted. Therefore, this result is unpredictable for it in any way.

But the monster knew that he had to do one thing at this time - that is, to kill all the animals that drank the medicine, because the monster knew better than anyone that this medicine could change the physical properties of the body, and these animals with negative bodies, once they ate it, under the effect of this medicine, they could become unpredictable monsters.

So the monster leapt up from the ground, and almost instantly, with great ferocity, it killed the deer and the rabbit one by one, but still allowed one of the deer and the snake to escape.

And the monster's hard work came to naught, because the medicine in the pot was drunk by these animals, and there was not even a drop left.

What made Imperial Doctor Wang even more unexpected was that in that winter, for some reason, the monster suddenly disappeared mysteriously. The royal doctor searched for a long time, but he couldn't find anything.

After two or three years, a 'giant deer' suddenly appeared in the mountain, why is it called a 'giant deer'? Because compared to the average deer, this deer is too big, how big? -- It's the size of a cow.

When Imperial Physician Wang heard about this, he secretly guessed that this deer was probably the one that escaped after drinking the decoction.

Later, the deer was united by more than 10 local hunters, followed for more than 10 days, and finally captured, at that time, the deer was also put on an ox cart, along the streets and alleys of the entire county, displayed for several days, very sensational, at that time hundreds of miles away people, have rushed to see. ”

When the shopkeeper Lu said this, he stopped abruptly, didn't say anything more, but picked up the teacup and drank the water, and deliberately set aside time for Zheng Yushi and Old Man Jiang to let them carefully reminisce about the story.

At this time, Zheng Yushi and Old Man Jiang did not speak immediately, they fell into deep thought, and there was silence in the room.

But soon, Zheng Yushi seemed to realize something, and asked tentatively: "Did your old man say that the snake that drank the decoction later became a man-eating python, which is now the python in the mountain?" ”

The shopkeeper Lu nodded again and again: "My lord really knows everything, I mean that, in that bamboo slip, when it comes to snakes, only this one, I think it is very likely that adults speculate this way, because in addition to this big python, in our mountain, there has never been a python before, but why did this python suddenly appear in the sky?" Therefore, only the situation that the adults just said is the most reasonable explanation. ”

Old man Jiang listened to it and nodded again and again.

"If that's the case, then how can you kill this python? Did you say it on the bamboo slips? Zheng Yushi perseveredly asked.

At this time, the shopkeeper Lu closed his eyes again, patted his head with his hand, as if he was trying to recall the relevant content on the bamboo slip, and after a long while, he said: "Although the bamboo slip does not say how to kill the python, it records the method of cracking the medicinal power of the decoction." ”

"Oh? Then you old man, hurry up and talk about it! Zheng Yushi's eyes lit up.

"Everything in the world is always mutually reinforcing, and although that medicine is huge, there is also something to crack - that is, to use the fox's urine, and it must be the fox's fresh urine!"

After Zheng Yushi heard the shopkeeper Lu say this method, he slapped his thigh excitedly and said loudly; "There's a way"!

After hurriedly saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Lu, he hurriedly went back to the county office with Old Man Jiang.

After returning to the county office, Zheng Yushi immediately found the child, and then asked him to inform the fox of the "King of Beasts" and arrange hundreds of foxes to surround the python and pee on it.

Sure enough, as soon as the fox urine was poured on the python, the python's body began to turn black and rot, and the python tossed violently in pain, tossing for a full day, and finally died of anger.

Through this incident, people know why this python is so afraid of the fox.

And it was the sneak attack of the tall blind man and the red fox that made my cousin think of this incomparably tortuous story.

There are too many things in my cousin's head, and sometimes, a lot of relevant information may not be able to be thought of all at once.

But it was the excitement of the sneak attack that made him suddenly think of this crucial account.

And it is the story of Tong guò that makes us suddenly understand some mysteries - it turns out that the red fox has such a bizarre origin, and this red fox still understands the language of beasts, which is really terrible.

In the future, I am afraid that all the pets in the family will not be able to be raised, otherwise, if they are controlled by the blood-colored fox, it will be troublesome - just like the big black cat tonight, it is under the control of the blood-colored fox, if the window is opened from the inside and the blind man is successfully entered, then the lives of several of us will be hanging, and I am still very afraid to think about it.

We have been in the struggle with the blind man many times, and the reason why we were able to escape from death seems to be a bit of a fluke and accident, but in fact it is also a certain inevitability -- because we are very vigilant at all times, dare not be sloppy at all times, and our wisdom and courage have also enabled us to overcome difficulties again and again.

But we also have to admit that this blind man is too difficult to deal with, and every time we take the initiative to attack, he almost has to fight back.

And in his lair, there are countless monsters, ancient corpses, etc., all at his disposal, so if you want to fight him in that cave, it is difficult to fight, it is best to lure him out and let him lose the advantage of "geographical advantage".

And we still feel extremely guilty about the death of the old Taoist priest in Shanghai - if we hadn't visited him and asked him about the cave, he might not have died.

However, whether it is guilt or regret, the matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, and all we can do is to get rid of the blind man and avenge those who died tragically at the hands of the blind man.

However, after the attack of the blind man, we were a little confused about what to do next.

Coincidentally, in the past few days, a Japanese academic group has come to visit us, and this academic group mainly studies the history of the Sino-Japanese war, including three historians and a Japanese veteran named Tanaka.

What we couldn't expect was that it was this veteran of the Japanese army, Tanaka, who made unexpected progress in our action to get rid of the blind man.

We have to start from the beginning.

Because my cousin is an advisor to our provincial cultural bureau, an expert in our local history, and a compiler of the prefectural chronicle, he is certainly the best person to accompany these Japanese people on their visit.

And the Japanese veteran named Tanaka is already in his nineties, although he has limited mobility and can only sit in a wheelchair, but his thinking is quite clear. In this expert group, except for the female translator, a young Japanese man who is proficient in Chinese, the other three are all old men in their seventies and eighties.

So, during the few days of accompanying the visit, my cousin asked a few of us to accompany us, because we are here and on rugged mountain roads, and it is difficult for these old "Japanese devils" to act. We need to support and take care of us at any time.

The relevant departments of the province were very satisfied with my cousin's careful arrangement, and during the few days we accompanied the five Japanese, they also deliberately subsidized each of us and more than 100 yuan per day for room and board, which was quite thoughtful.

To be honest, for the three gray-haired Japanese scholars, we felt fine, but for Tanaka, who was in a wheelchair, I felt very unpleasant.

Xiao Lei whispered to us: "That old devil in a wheelchair, maybe how many bad things have he done in our place?" I'm afraid that the ** burning and killing things have been done. ”

This sentence was occasionally heard by my cousin, and he hurriedly "warned" us: "That's all history, besides, they are here as guests this time, and they must not be rude to them, if there is any unpleasantness, it is a matter of diplomacy, Premier Zhou has said that 'diplomacy is no trivial matter', so we still have to show our minds, and you must not be too out of line."

Xiao Lei smiled and said to his cousin: "It seems that the old man is very suitable to be the political commissar of our army, ha, the political consciousness is very high, we just talk about it in private, you can rest assured, we all understand what you said."

My cousin smiled and nodded.

To our surprise, these Japanese people know so much about the history and topography of our place. No wonder my cousin said that since the First Sino-Japanese War, the military maps of the Japanese army have been very detailed, and in the combat area, where there is a tree and a well, they are clearly marked. Therefore, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese troops preferred to use captured Japanese maps.

Regarding the map of the Japanese army, there was such an incident a few years ago.
