Chapter 23: The Red-Capped Snake
Ding Cheng searched in the stone forest several times, but never found any trace of the lewd thief, and sighed with his hands and teeth: "I actually let you escape from my hands twice, and I will never let you escape again next time." ”
At this time, the moon has set in the west, the starlight is fading, it is estimated that it has reached the end of the hour, and the sky will be bright in a few hours. Ding Cheng simply leaned on a stone pillar and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for dawn to check.
After a tired night, Ding Cheng quickly fell asleep, and when he woke up, the sun had already risen. Ding Cheng walked out of the stone forest, turned a hillside, and saw a courtyard not far in front of him, which should be a village, so he walked over there.
Outside the village, next to the bamboo forest, an eleven or twelve-year-old shepherd boy is herding cattle. The big yellow cow was flicking its tail and gnawing on a lush patch of aquatic plants. Ding Cheng suddenly found that the shepherd boy was standing still, staring at the ground in front of him without blinking, and his expression was highly nervous.
Ding Cheng took two more steps forward, turned a big rock, and found that there was a small snake coiled two or three meters in front of the shepherd boy. The little snake had a maroon head and kept spitting letters at the shepherd boy.
Ding Cheng estimated that the snake must be very poisonous, so he casually broke a willow branch on the willow tree and quietly approached from behind the snake. The snake heard the sound behind him and turned its head to look at Ding Cheng. Ding Cheng swept the snake with the willow branch in his hand, and he could sweep the little snake out of the door with one moment. Who knew that the little snake was extremely dexterous, and it jumped over the willow branch and pounced on Ding Cheng, and stabbed Ding Cheng on his right arm. Ding Cheng was startled, and slapped his left hand towards the head of the little snake. The snake's head was slapped to pieces, and the little snake fell to the ground, twisted a few times and didn't move.
The little shepherd boy ran over to look at Ding Cheng's arm and asked, "Brother, how are you?"
Ding Cheng shook his head and said, "It's okay!" Unexpectedly, his mind was dizzy. I repeatedly raised my sleeves to see where my arm was bitten by a small snake, and it was slowly blackened and swollen. I didn't expect this little snake to be so venomous. Ding Cheng hurriedly clicked on the two acupoints on his shoulder to stop the poisonous gas from rising. Then he used his internal strength to force out the venom, but he didn't expect to mention it when he mentioned his true qi.
The shepherd boy shouted to a small courtyard not far away, "Brother Shaowu, come quickly!" A young man over there agreed and ran this way. Ding Cheng couldn't support it anymore, and fell to the ground in the dark.
The young man named Shaowu ran over and saw Ding Cheng fall to the ground and asked, "What's wrong Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Yu replied: "Brother Shaowu, this brother was bitten by this snake in order to save me, you should find a way to save him." ”
Shaowu saw that the top of the little snake's head was red, and saw Ding Cheng like this, knowing that the snake was venomous, and said: "Xiao Yu, I will carry him to your house, your sister must have a way to save him." As he spoke, he picked up Ding Cheng and walked towards the village. Xiao Yu drove the scalper all the way behind him.
When he arrived at the gate of a compound higher in the village, Xiao Yu shouted, "Sister, sister, hurry up and save people." A young girl greeted him and helped Ding Cheng into the courtyard.
Shaowu said, "This person was bitten by a snake, take a look." ”
Xiao Yu held the little snake in his hand and said, "Sister, it was this little snake that bit this big brother, and the big brother was bitten in order to save me, you must save him." ”
The girl was startled when she saw the little snake and said, "It's a red-topped snake!" Quickly let the young martial artist Ding Cheng carry Ding Cheng into the house and lay it flat on the table, and then took a dagger and a porcelain bowl to the courtyard. There is a big peacock pecking at food in the courtyard, the peacock has bright feathers, and strangely the crown on the top of its head is golden.
