Chapter 1: The Man in the Black Shirt
This morning, Duan Hongyu was sitting in the camp in a daze with a map, and suddenly a member of the Luo Cha team came in and reported that Lian Chengyu had said many times in front of the leaders of Lingzhi Island that she wanted to take the Four Barren Mountains into her hands, and she had hurriedly arranged the personnel deployment on the island in the past few days, and it was very likely that she would take action against the Four Barren Mountains.
Duan Hongyu had always been worried that Lian Chengyu would annex the Four Desolate Mountains in the name of Qin Tianba's goddaughter, and he didn't have time to convene all the leaders to discuss, so he only explained a few words to the soldiers around him, and then left the camp and jumped on his horse and went to the Four Desolate Mountains. He prefers to be such a lone hero than in the army and in strategizing. It's been a long time since he's been on his own, and he's been so happy along the way.
As soon as Duan Hongyu came out of the Shandong boundary, he saw a group of people around the roadside, he grabbed his mount and looked into the circle of people, only to see a man in his fifties and sixties sitting cross-legged on the ground. This person's eyes are like copper bells, a lion's nose and a tiger's mouth, his appearance is not mighty, and his black shirt is dirty. In front of the black-clothed man was a poisonous snake as thick as a child's arm, the poisonous snake was black all over, decorated with golden patterns, the tongue was bright red, and the teeth were like hooks, and at first glance it was a venomous snake that was rare in the world.
The crowd shouted for the man in black to perform again, but the man in black just closed his eyes cross-legged and ignored the crowd. It seems that he has too few suspects, and he is afraid that there will be no reward, so he refuses to perform.
At this moment, suddenly the tiger-headed bachelor and Guan Meng rode fast horses from the front road to the front.
Duan Hongyu didn't want to provoke these two calamities, so he took out a handkerchief and covered his face.
Guan Meng saw that the black snake's eyes lit up, and he quickly reined in his horse and rushed into the crowd.
As soon as the onlookers saw these two people, they knew that they were not good people, and quickly dispersed.
Guan Meng shyly shook his ball-like stomach and said loudly: "Old man, what are you doing! This long worm is good!"
The man in black still ignored it, just closed his eyes.
Guan Meng screamed twice and didn't see the big man in black answer, and said angrily: "This old man is not only blind, but he didn't expect to be deaf!" He took advantage of the fact that the big man in black was not paying attention, and stretched out his hand to touch the black snake.
Seeing that Guan Meng's hand grabbed the black snake, the black-clothed man shook his hand, and the bamboo pole in his hand blocked Guan Meng's hand.
Guan Meng said angrily: "As soon as I move your snake, you won't do it, it turns out that you are not blind! I just want to shout here, but I am afraid that you will ignore it for three days!"
The man in black said, "I don't know what advice you have to ask for from Yetai?"
Guan Meng said: "Can you open your eyes and talk to Little Master Guan?"
The man in black did not answer.
Guan Meng said: "Old man, how much is your snake?"
The man in black said: "This snake is not for sale!"
Guan Meng said: "Little Master Guan will give you more money!"
The man in black said: "You can't sell it no matter how much you give!"
Guan Meng said: "If you don't sell it, what are you doing here?"
The man in black said: "It's a snake trick down there!"
Guan Meng said happily: "Then you can show it to Little Master Guan!"
The man in black said: "There are too few people here to play!"
Guan Meng said angrily: "How big is it to play a broken snake? You just have to play it, after you are done, Little Master Guan will give you more reward!"
The man in black said, "Then thank you very much!" With that, he opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
Guan Meng smiled and said: "This old man is really interesting, he opened his eyes as soon as he heard that there was a reward, and Xiao Tai Guan finally knew what was going on when he saw the money today!"
The big man in black didn't pay attention to it, only to see him take out a mouse from the bamboo basket behind him. The rat was very fat, at least more than a pound.
Duan Hongyu said secretly: "What does this big man in black want to perform? Could it be that a mouse and a snake are fighting? If that's really the case, it's funny!"
As he was thinking this, he saw the big man in black raise his head, grab the rat's tail with his fingertips and put it on his head, and then put the rat in his mouth with a big mouth.
Seeing this, not only Duan Hongyu, but also Tiger Head and Guan Meng couldn't help but take a few steps back. Everyone has seen the sword swallowing the iron ball, but it is the first time I have seen such a big mouse swallowed in the stomach.
I saw a convex shadow slipping down the neck of the big man in black, and it was obvious that the rat had reached his belly.
Just when everyone was wondering what the man in black wanted to do, the bamboo pole in the man in black moved, and the black snake on the ground crawled on him. The man in black threw away the bamboo pole, and carried the tail of the black snake upside down like a mouse to put the black snake in his mouth little by little, and when he saw that the snake tail finally disappeared from his mouth, and the man in black closed his mouth, everyone was so disgusted that they vomited.
The big man in black shook the ground twice, and suddenly fell headlong to the ground, and then remained motionless.
Guan Meng exclaimed: "This old man can't be dead!"
The tiger-headed bachelor pulled him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, take a good look!"
At this time, I saw the big man in black open his mouth, and the black snake slowly crawled out of his mouth. I saw that the black snake was bulging in its belly, and it was obvious that it had swallowed the rat. It turned out that the man in black performed a stunt of a poisonous snake swallowing a mouse in his stomach.
Guan Meng saw that the black-clothed man had not woken up on the ground, so he stepped forward and pinched the seven inches of the black snake, turned around and left.
The man in black picked up the bamboo pole, jumped up from the ground, and put the bamboo pole on Guan Meng's shoulder: "Ye Tai walks slowly!" It turned out that he was deceiving the audience's sympathy by pretending to fall, so as to earn more rewards.
Guan Meng took out a piece of silver from his arms and said, "Isn't it okay to give you money?"
The black cloth took the silver, stretched out his hand again, and said, "Hurry up and return my snake!"
Guan Meng said: "Won't I give you money? This snake is mine now!"
The man in black said: "I said a long time ago, my snake can't be sold!"
Guan Meng said: "How much money is not sold?"
The man in black said: "Exactly!"
The tiger head said: "Guan Meng, since he didn't sell you, he gave it to him, what a good thing!"
Guan Meng really fell in love with this snake and said, "Old man, I'll tell you the truth, this little master is a member of the official family. What should you do if you get a snake and hurt someone here? This little master accepted your snake to eliminate harm for the people, and it is worthy of you to give you silver, if you dare to say more, be careful that the little master Guan twists you into the yamen and sues you for murder for money. ”
The black-clothed man sneered: "What kind of bullshit yamen, Lao Tzu is not afraid!
Guan said fiercely: "I think you really don't want to live anymore!" suddenly pulled out a small piece of knife and stabbed the black-clothed man in the heart.
The black-clothed man leaned back, and his left hand instantly clamped Guan Meng's wrist like an eagle's claw.
Guan Meng grinned in pain, and shouted loudly: "Old man, you light!" As he spoke, his small knife had already fallen to the ground.
The black-clothed man had a long arm, and he had snatched the black snake into his hand in an instant. He slammed the switch, threw the snake into the basket, turned and left.
Guan Meng's wrist was swollen to the size of a bun in the blink of an eye, red as a cockscomb, and he was in unbearable pain, jumping to his feet and screaming.
The tiger-headed bachelor was a strange man, but now when he saw that he was poisonous, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Old man, don't leave first, let's get rid of my brother's poison!"
The man in black ignored it and just walked forward.
