Lin Dazhu continued: "The two of us went down the mountainside, there is a depression in the col, and there is a small river in front of it. It takes about an hour to get to that treasure land. In the past few years, the mallet bird has been flying there a lot, and I guess there may be an old mallet."

"Daddy, what kind of mallet bird, does it look like a mallet?" Lin Yusheng asked curiously.

The mallet bird usually likes to eat the seeds of the mallet, and its call is very special, a bit like human language, just like this: "Brother Wang Gang, Brother Wang Gang, Ligu". Li Dazhu vividly learned to call birds.

Hahahaha, the father and son smiled happily, rolled down the mountainside, and walked towards the ravine. The mountain road was rugged, and Lin Dazhu used a firewood knife in front of him to chop down the shrubs, vines, and weeds that were in the way, and he worked hard to drive the road in front.

Lin Yusheng followed behind his father, very bored and playful. With a knife in his hand, he slashed at a small tree with a thick bowl mouth, and with a click! The small tree broke at the waist, which also startled Lin Yusheng. With a wave of the firewood knife, he cut off the small tree, and was stunned for a long time. He muttered to himself: Could it be that the method of using true qi has been refined?

Lin Dazhu also hurriedly turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that Lin Yusheng was fine, and called: "Yusheng!

Lin Yusheng hurried to catch up with his father and helped his father drive the mountain road together. After about another hour, he finally came out of the ravine full of thorns. What caught their eyes was a small stream, and the two of them waded through the cool water to the other side.

They found a dry boulder on the shore, and the father and son climbed the boulder to rest.

Lin Dazhu said: "Yusheng, this is my father's treasure land." The year before last, the six-pint leaf was dug up next to this boulder. Let's take a break here now. Observe and listen to the call, if there is a malllet bird, there will definitely be a big mallet."

I've never walked so far on a mountain road, right? Lin Dazhu asked his son with concern.

"Dad, I'm not tired. I won't be tired after walking for a few more hours!" Lin Yu replied vigorously.

"Let's eat some dry food first", Lin Dazhu took out two cornmeal buns in the back basket. Give one to the son, and the father and son chew dry food on the cool water.

Lin Yusheng was chewing dry food, but his ears kept pricking up, searching for movement in the mountains and forests. , the call of the mallet bird confessed by the father. Don't miss it. There is a scream, but there is a mallet!

It's just an eight-year-old kid, and it's the first time I've been in the mountains, and I'm a little playful. Lin Yusheng was on the bank of the stream, chopping weeds and dead branches with a firewood knife. Suddenly, I faintly heard a similar voice: "Brother Wang Gang, Brother Wang Gang, not on the south slope, but on the north slope, Ligu"!

Lin Yusheng excitedly shouted at Lin Dazhu: "Dad, I heard a bird calling, she said that it was not on the south slope but on the north slope, and it was Ligu! What a special voice."

Lin Dazhu was pleasantly surprised: "Really, son, let's go to the north slope to have a look."

Lin Yusheng followed behind Lin Dazhu, and the two of them hurriedly walked towards the northern slope of the stream. To the north of the creek was a high hillside, and when the two men climbed it. I saw a valley in front of me, and a waterfall more than ten zhang high, pouring a curtain of water. The waterfall is surrounded by dead branches and weeds, and you can't see anything magical about it. The cool water of the stream falls, constantly lapping against the smooth rocks. There was a roar.

Lin Dazhu said to Lin Yusheng: "Son, let's look for it separately." You look around the waterfall, and I climb up from the right to the top of the hill and have a look."

"You must pay attention to your feet, use a wooden stick to beat the weeds on the ground, and you have to beat the grass to scare the snakes, knock on the mountains and shock the tigers, do you know?" Do you still know the "ginseng flower"? Don't be confused with the "notoginseng flower"!

"Dad, don't worry! Where is my grandfather's herbal illustrated book, I remember the door clear. I promise not to admit my mistake!" Lin Yusheng replied confidently.

Father and son searched at the bottom of the waterfall and climbed up the hill to look for it.

Lin Yusheng carefully observed the ground, and used the firewood knife in his hand to turn over the boulder and remove the weeds. After searching around the waterfall for a while, I didn't even see the mallet hair, and I was a little annoyed, so I used a firewood knife to cut down two small trees next to me to vent my anger.

"Dad, have you found anything on the hillside?" Lin Yusheng shouted towards the top of the waterfall.

Lin Dazhu replied, "No! I'm still looking for it." Son, don't run around under the waterfall. Beware of long worms"!

"Ah! I know, when I see a long worm, I'll knock it to death with a stick!" Lin Yusheng replied a little impatiently.

Continue to rummage around the waterfall, grass, and stones, and always feel that there is something wrong with this waterfall, it seems that the closer you get to the waterfall, the fewer weeds, and many dead branches and weeds are distributed outside the waterfall ten zhang range. In the middle of the waterfall, there is not a trace of green.

A flash of inspiration came to his head, could it be: "What is recorded in the "Record of Strange Flowers and Plants" is true? There are no weeds under the king......

Just now, I clearly heard the mallet bird calling: "Not on the south slope, but on the north slope." This waterfall is right in the middle of the northern slope of the creek."

Lin Yusheng bypassed the smooth rocks and searched towards the center of the waterfall. I've been rummaging for a long time and still haven't. Doing some work in the deep mountains and old forests, it was really stuffy and hot, hungry and thirsty, tired and sweaty, bending down to hold a handful of cool stream water and pouring it on the top of his head. Ahh

He tilted his head and stretched his waist, and sighed softly! As if he had seen something? On the left side of the waterfall, behind the gap in the waterfall curtain, there was a small stone cave. Lin Yusheng was wondering, could it be that the big stick mallet was in this stone cave?

"Dad! Dad! I found a stone cave!" Lin Yusheng shouted several times, but Lin Dazhu did not respond. Maybe it was the roar of the waterfall and the stream, which obscured the shouting, and Lin Yusheng didn't think much about it.

The cave is located to the left near the center of the waterfall, about five feet high from the foot of the mountain. Little by little, I climbed the wet rocks, and finally approached the cave. Lin Yusheng thought to himself that it was better to be precautionary, in case there were any snakes, insects and beasts in the cave, it would be a big loss to rush in and be bitten. Untie the firewood knife at your waist and use the firewood knife to stab into the stone cave behind the waterfall curtain.

Oops! It doesn't matter if you stab you. Behind the water curtain, a large mouth suddenly stretched out! Instantly bit the firewood knife, swallowed the firewood knife with a huge mouth, and only a piece of wooden handle leaked outside. Just about to swallow, retract back into the cave. The giant of the monster that swallowed the hatchet suddenly sticks out of the hole!

The huge and terrifying snake head shook violently from side to side, and Lin Yusheng was thrown more than ten feet away with a knife and fell into the weeds.

When he landed, his buttocks hit a big rock in the grass, and Lin Yusheng, who was in pain, let out a miserable howl! Rolling and getting up from the ground. Lin Yusheng was prepared just now, and when the snake's head swallowed the firewood knife, he pulled his hands back vigorously. Grabbed the wooden handle of the firewood knife, twisted it hard, turned it, and dug out a big hole in the snake's mouth.

The head of the big snake dripping with blood from the corner of its mouth quickly stretched out the waterfall, and the turbulent water of the waterfall kept hitting the huge snake body, and the white body was covered with shining silver scales. Soon the huge snake body crawled out of the waterfall.
