The man was originally very good at roasting snail meat, but it was the first time to roast such a big one, he divided the snail into two sections, prepared a section of roasting, and found a branch, put on half of the snail, and then lit a fire and began to roast. The man seems to be very talented in eating, he knows how to bake it evenly, roast it with that part of the flame, so that there will be no smoky taste, and it can be baked, and what kind of speed can be roasted in a circle, so that it can be roasted quickly and well, in short, in the process of roasting, he grasps all kinds of heat very well.

I have to admit that everyone has a talent for a specific thing, and with a natural intuition, that thing can be done perfectly, and "how to make it" is the talent of the male host.

It didn't take long for the snail to be roasted. The air around is filled with a special fragrance, which makes the male protagonist's mouth flow, but he has experience, and he can't help but take a bite immediately, because he knows that it may be burned, because this kind of meat is very similar to hot porridge, and it doesn't seem to be hot on the surface, but the heat is hidden inside, so you have to wait a little while, and wait for the heat inside to come out, so you can bite it with confidence.

After a while, the man felt that it was almost enough, so he tentatively took a shallow bite, and when the tender snail meat touched between his lips and teeth, the man felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever eaten when he was so big, and the tender and fragrant feeling made every taste bud of him excited.

Soon, half a snail has almost been swallowed by him, although the snail has been barbecued, it has become a lot smaller, but this half of the snail, also enough to weigh two or three pounds, when eating did not feel too much, after eating it felt really uncomfortable, the man can only half lie down and lean on the boulder, he felt that the snail meat he ate in, as if from the stomach to the throat and eyes, so, he almost did not dare to move, as if as soon as he moved, the meat would pour out from the throat and eyes.

People are too full to eat and are prone to sleepiness, so the man leans on the boulder and falls asleep unconsciously. The strong smell of rot in the valley was also diluted by the smell of snail meat.

I don't know how long later, the man was suddenly awakened by a strange movement, which seemed to be a rumbling sound from the mountains, and mixed with the strange sound made by a woman. Although the voice was not too loud, it was as if it was penetrating, and the man was only a teenager at that time, at this age, he didn't think too much about many things, so he didn't feel scared at the time, he thought someone was coming.

But when he looked around, there was nothing, and by this time, the sun had set in the west, and the valley was even darker, and he stretched his waist and jumped off the boulder, ready to go home. However, the moment he landed, one of his legs suddenly fell into a crack, fortunately the crack was not too wide, otherwise he would have fallen. However, even so, it scared him a lot, he struggled to grab the ground on both sides of the crack with his hands, supported his upper body, and desperately pulled out the fallen legs, but fortunately he was young, his muscles and bones were soft and flexible, and he was not injured in this toss.

To the man's great surprise, there was obviously no crack here, how could he wake up, there was such a crack, he looked at it in horror, this crack was very long, and even extended to the mountain next to it, as if the whole mountain had been slashed, and then looked into the crack, and felt that it was bottomless, and from it there was a gloomy atmosphere, which made his hairy eyes stand up.

Suddenly, he vaguely saw that something was coming out of the crack, slowly squirming and climbing up, although he was a little scared, but curiosity still made him hunch down and take a serious look at what was climbing up. He squinted, and after a while, when his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he could see that it was a large snail, similar to the one he had eaten.

Somehow, when the man saw that this big snail was crawling out of the crack, he suddenly felt a churning in his stomach, he endured it a few times but couldn't hold back, so he knelt on the ground and vomited. He kept vomiting all the contents of his stomach, this time he was a little more comfortable, but he was already paralyzed, and he had no strength at all, he squatted on the ground and slowed down for a while, before he gritted his teeth and stood up, staggering home.

On the short road from the valley to his home, the man rested five or six times, but each time he really didn't have the strength to go. And in normal times, he is jumping and jumping, and before he knows it, he has finished this road. But this time, every step he took, it was as if he had to make a great effort, but for some reason, he had a firm belief in his heart: no matter how difficult it was, he must insist on going home, and never fall on the road, because he vaguely had a feeling that if he didn't return home, and fell on the road, he would die.

The man still doesn't know why he had that idea at the time, maybe it was a survival instinct. Decades later, the man still remembered very clearly the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness at that time, and even the words that he wanted to shout but didn't shout, he still remembered, he opened his mouth a few times, and wanted to shout: "Grandma, come out and save me", but he couldn't make a sound, he only felt that his tears had flowed, and then he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found that his grandmother, mother and sisters were all looking at him in the warm bed, and his grandmother and mother were still sobbing.

Later, the landlord found out that that time, he was in a coma for two days and two nights, and the family was going crazy. Because he is the only incense, his father did not close his eyes for two days and two nights, but it was night or daytime, and he invited Langzhong one by one, but after each Langzhong touched the pulse, he shook his head again and again, saying that the child's pulse was too strange, and he really didn't know what disease he had.

Later, my father was anxious, worried, and overworked, and fainted. At this moment, the family has completely lost its backbone, and the ladies can only cry.

But fortunately, the man finally woke up, and the family breathed a sigh of relief.

It took about a full month or so for the male protagonist to really fully recover. However, since then, the man seems to have changed as a person, before, he has been lively and active, as if he could not be idle for a moment, and after this incident, he has become unusually old and serious, and his movements have become sluggish, although he is still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, but every move seems to have become an adult in his thirties and forties.

And there is also a definite change - for his favorite snail meat before, after this catastrophe, he is not interested at all, and even wants to vomit when he sees a snail.

The family also noticed this kind of change in him, and they were still very worried at first, but they still asked a lot of Langzhong to show him, but after the diagnosis, these Langzhong said that he was normal and did not have any disease, and it was true that except for the big changes in personality and taste, there was no change in other aspects.

But for some reason, the man has been reluctant to tell his family about the strange experience that day, although the family asked him where he went that day and what he did, but the man said perfunctorily that he just walked around his home as usual that day.

A few years later, there was a Taoist priest who went into the mountains to collect medicine, and lived in their house, at that time, the man's father, like the man, was very kind to others, and he treated these guests with preferential treatment, which made the Taoist priest very grateful. Because the family is full of female dependents, it is especially inconvenient to come out to entertain this kind of monks, so the father of the male owner asked the male owner to help deliver food and water to the Taoist priest, at that time, although the male owner was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his parents had just given him a daughter-in-law, and wanted him to hurry up to inherit the lineage and give birth to a few more sons.

In the house, the man's father and the Taoist priest seemed to have a very speculative conversation, but every time the man came into the house to deliver something or pour water, for some reason, the Taoist priest would stop talking to the man's father, and looked at him carefully without saying a word, and twice seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking. Of course, the man was also aware of the strange behavior of the Taoist priest.

This time, the man's father seemed to feel that the Taoist priest's behavior was a little strange, so he wanted to ask the Taoist priest, but when he saw that his son was also in the house, he couldn't help but ask, and the father's subtle thoughts, the man also felt it, after he poured the water, he quickly retreated, but this time he did not go back to his house, but quietly went around the back window and eavesdropped on the conversation between the Taoist priest and his father.

Sure enough, after talking a few words without a match, he heard his father ask the Taoist: "I just noticed that every time the dog comes in, the Taoist chief has to look at it carefully. ”

The Taoist chief did not reply immediately, paused for a moment, and then sighed and said: "The poor road disturbs your house, the donor not only does not have any dislike, but treats each other so warmly, I am really grateful, I have heard that the donor has a very good heart, and all those who go into the mountains to stay overnight, regardless of the old, the young, the poor or weak, will treat each other with sincerity, and there are not many such good people."

As soon as the man's father heard the Taoist priest praise him like this, he hurriedly said a few polite words, but he knew that the reason why the Taoist priest said these words might be a kind of foreshadowing before answering his question.

Sure enough, the Taoist priest continued: "However, when I see Ling Gongzi today, it seems that he has experienced some kind of calamity, and this calamity is very likely to affect the continuation of the donor's descendants. ”

The male owner who was eavesdropping under the window was shocked like an electric shock, and he never expected that this Taoist priest would poke his most sore spot in just one sentence. Although he couldn't see his father's expression, he could fully imagine how shocked his father would be after hearing these words of the Taoist priest.
