Chapter 36
Seeing that the poisonous snakes under the boulder were gathering more and more, Su Musha hurriedly stuffed the snake meat into his mouth, filled a handful of firewood for the fire, and jumped off the boulder, ready to fulfill his promise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He stepped onto the place where the heroes threw their bones, carefully avoiding the strange snakes that came from under the white bones and the rags, and tried not to step on the bones of his ancestors.
Some of the bones were dumped in the last six months. They were dressed in the clothes of the Green Gang, and Su Musha estimated that they were the gang sacrificed by the Water Dragon King when he captured the Fallen Dragon Pit.
The bones were rotten and smelly. Underneath them, there were still layers of white bones, about a hundred of them.
"Well, it's impossible to bury all these bones. Su Musha frowned.
The barren rocky beach was full of rubble, and he only had a knife in hand, so digging a pit was obviously not an easy task.
But the little senior sister rushed to the fallen dragon pit to save him, no matter how fast it was, it would take eight days. Let Su Musha be with these corpses for eight days, and it gives me goosebumps when I think about it.
Su Musha thought about it, and couldn't help but walk past the place where the bones were thrown.
After walking about 100 steps, he saw a depression and immediately decided to move the bones here for burial.
"That's a good promise. Su Musha's hands and feet were also sharp when he was talking to himself, so he covered his nose first, found a stick in his hand, and dragged over several corpses that were rotting.
This is not easy, because you have to guard against the sneak attack of strange snakes hiding in the shadows while traveling.
I don't know if it's because I'm refreshed after eating, or if there is another mystery in the warmth of snake meat. Su Musha is not only in good spirits, but also has smart ears and eyes, and his reactions are also sensitive. Once, he accidentally stepped on the tail of a strange snake with his foot. When the strange snake looked back and counterattacked, Su Musha found out, but in the blink of an eye, he was able to step on its snake's head with one foot.
However, Su Musha didn't realize these for a while, he was concentrating on dragging the corpse, not daring to be sloppy and distracted.
After dragging a few decomposing corpses into the depression, Su Musha took off the cloth covering his mouth and nose, and let out a big breath, the rest were white bones, and it was a trouble to pick them up.
He rested, raised his feet to continue to work hard, and suddenly a huge roar of "boom" came from behind him, and Su Musha, who was frightened, trembled and almost fell.
Su Musha turned his head and looked towards the north where the loud noise came, and saw that there was a column of water spraying in the sky in the distance, six feet in diameter and ten zhang high, and the steam mass at the top of the column continued to tumble and leap, hitting the blue sky, and the scene was spectacular.
"Geyser?" Su Mu was stunned, he had seen this spectacular scene in his previous life, and he recognized it at a glance.
Su Musha looked at the strange snake attacking him again, and felt more and more strange in his heart.
The water from geysers often contains minerals, the most important of which is the sulfide that smells of rotten eggs, and snakes are the most sensitive to sulfide and do not smell it at all.
But now, the two have gathered in this little valley.
Su Musha decided to follow the river to the north to have a look.
As he went, strange snakes attacked from time to time on the rocky beach, but after a quarter of an hour, the strange snakes became fewer.
After Su Musha faintly smelled the smell of rotten eggs, the strange snake was gone.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, Su Musha stood on a high slope and saw the source of the small river.
To his surprise, the source of the creek was a circular pool, with an embankment separating the two in the middle, like a Taoist diagram of yin and yang.
The difference is that in the yin-yang fish-shaped pool, one side is red like fire, and the other side reflects the blue sky and white clouds.
Behind the waterhole is the cliff that Su Musha saw when he fell in the morning.
Su Musha quickened his pace, walked to the waterhole, and was startled again. It turned out that the pool was as red as fire, that is, the pool on the side of the geyser was full of red fish.
These fish are blood-red all over, even their eyes are red. They were legs-thick, a foot long, and they were huddled in the water motionless, and if it weren't for the gills moving, they would have been dead.
This fish is more evil than the strange snake, and Su Musha doesn't dare to eat it. He reached out and touched the water, and when he touched it, the water in the pool was too hot.
These fish are very comfortable in the water, which is really a strange thing.
Su Musha detoured to another pond, the water was clear and transparent, reaching out to touch the cool, and the pond across the embankment was a world of difference.
There is also a spring in the center of the pool, and unlike the geyser, the spring water is constantly gushing out with countless bubbles, filling the pool and joining the river with another pool of water.
Su Musha estimated that the red fish lived on the minerals carried by the geyser, and after being diluted by the cold spring, the water that flowed into the creek contained less sulfide.
This is how the snake is able to survive downstream.
The fry he had seen earlier in the waterhole were supposed to be the larvae of these red fish, which provided food for the snakes.
These were Su Musha's rough conjectures, and he didn't have time to find out the root of this.
He looked at the cliffs to the north, and there was no place for his siblings.
However, this trip to the north was not without gains.
Su Musha picked up a handful of water and tasted it, the spring water was sweet and cool, enough to drink, and solved Su Musha's concern about drinking the bath water of the strange snake.
He drank with his stomach open, rested again, and when he saw the sun set in the west, he remembered what he had promised.
He dug up some mud with a knife in the hot pool, applied it to his legs, used it to ward off the snakes, wrapped some in leaves for backup, and returned to the place where the corpse was dumped.
This trick really worked, and after the strange snake smelled the smell of rotten eggs in the mud on Su Mu's feet, he ran away and didn't bother him again, which greatly accelerated the speed of Su Mu's bones.
After the sun completely withdrew its last ray, Su Musha stopped to make a fire to cook.
However, when the snakes saw him, they hid, and it was not as convenient as noon, so he could only be a hunter to hunt the strange snakes quietly.
After eating after dark, Su Mu was bored. He already had little sleep, but now he slept even shorter, and could only count the stars and wait for the dawn.
"I don't know what the little senior sister is doing?" Su Mu looked at the starry sky and thought, "Now that the news has not arrived, she shouldn't be in a hurry." ”
It is worth mentioning that in the middle of the night, the geyser spewed again, and the movement was very loud. Su Musha was glad that he didn't rest around it, otherwise he would have been burned to death.
The next morning, after feasting on a snake, Su Musha continued to collect the bones and moved them to the depression.
It wasn't until noon on the third day that he finished his work and fulfilled his promise.
During the pickup, Su Musha also secretly laughed at himself for being idle.
But when I thought that if it weren't for my own Getaway and Taiyi Divine Skills, and Di'er had prepared the antidote pill, I would have become one of them a long time ago, and there would be no one to collect the corpse at that time, which was really miserable.
Thinking of this, Su Musha felt that he was idle in the valley, and it was just right to do something meaningful.
Especially when he completely moved the bones to the depression, no longer accompanied by the bones, swept away the gloomy atmosphere in the valley, and felt refreshed, he felt that everything he did was worth it.
As the saying goes, "help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west", after filling the bones into the depression, Su Musha decided to build a tomb for them.
He knew that strange snakes liked shade. In order to prevent them from disturbing the deceased, Su Musha moved a lot of silt from the hot spring, filled it with a layer, and then filled the gravel around the depression into the depression.
"You won't find anyone as good as me in the world. Su Musha carried the stones, muttering to his lips.
"I believe that people have souls. Since Su Musha crossed into this world, he has always preferred to believe in what he has rather than what he does not have, "You can rest in peace." ”
Su Musha turned around and moved a boulder, "There is a thief who said that I am about to die...... Oops!" Su Musha was just as he was talking, when he suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
