"Sit down and speak slowly." Wang Yao made him a cup of tea. "Who died and what was the cause of death?!"
"Li Zulai from the east of the village died at the edge of Dongshan and Nanshan. We don't know the specific reason yet. He might have been frightened. He had heart disease," Wang Fengming said.
"Scared?"
"The weather has been warm recently. Some people in the village went up to the mountains to hug grass. Several people have seen snakes on Nanshan Mountain. One of them was a black snake, which was several meters long! Have you seen it before when you have been on the mountain for a long time?" Wang Fengming said.
Xiaohei!
As soon as he said this, he knew it was the black snake.
"I know that snake. In fact, I saved that snake." Faced with this loyal and kind-hearted elder, Wang Yao did not hide anything and said it directly.
"Hey, this is a bit troublesome!" Wang Fengming said after hearing this.
"What's wrong, uncle?"
"Some people in the village said that you were raising snakes on Nanshan Mountain, but Li Zulai was scared to death by the snakes!"
This is really troublesome. According to this statement, Li Zulai's death has a lot to do with him. It's like when you are bitten by a dog, the first thing you think of is whose dog you want to find. The dog's owner instead bites it back.
"There is more than one snake on this Nanshan Mountain."
"More than one?" Wang Yao said, "Hiss, the one I often see recently is the black snake."
Wang Yao also discovered that the black snake was very spiritual. Knowing what he meant, he also became a guard of Nanshan. No matter day or night, he patrolled the mountain with the native dog. People are generally afraid of snakes. Psychology, especially the Orochi.
"Thank you for coming here to give me a heads up." Wang Yao said.
"Hey, my family members don't speak foreign languages." Wang Fengming said. Until now, he has been thinking about Wang Yao.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Uncle, has your old house been sold too?"
"Sell it and give your son a new house for his wedding. Your aunt and I will live in the village. It's good." Wang Fengming said.
"good."
Wang Yao sent him out of the door before returning to the hospital.
In mountain villages, death is a big deal. In small mountain villages, the surname Wang is the main surname. In addition, there are two surnames: Chen and Li. Basically, people with the same surname are related to each other and can be discussed.
Soon, the old man's death spread within a certain area.
At least, Zhang Xiuying mentioned this matter to Wang Yao during lunch.
"Hey, I'm getting old and my heart is not good. Why go to the mountains and hug the grass? It's not good to go anywhere. I have to go to the Nanshan area!" The last sentence is the key point. In the end, he is biased towards his son. I also heard the rumors in the village.
"Xiao Yao, are there really snakes on that mountain?"
"Yes, and one of them is very familiar to me." Wang Yao said with a smile, but what he said was very interesting.
"I'm very familiar with you, how do I get acquainted with you?"
"I once rescued a black snake. It was very spiritual." Wang Yaodao.
"It really does."
Wang Fenghua on the side didn't say anything, just lowered his head and ate.
"Do snakes bite people?" He just spoke after eating.
"As long as you don't hurt it, it won't bite." Wang Yaodao, "It's the same as Sanxian."
"Hey, what if I scare someone again!" Zhang Xiuying said worriedly.
"This is the effect we want." Wang Yao said softly.
"What?!" His parents were shocked after hearing this.
"Dad, Mom, I don't want outsiders to come near Nanshan, and you are coming too. There are many secrets on Nanshan that cannot be known by outsiders." Wang Yaodao.
There are so many shocking things on Nanshan Mountain, the "Spirit Gathering Array", the "spiritual grass" in the medicine field, the wonderful sense of comfort...
"Of course, I don't want anyone to die either. That's something unexpected." Wang Yao said calmly under the shocked and somewhat worried gazes of his parents.
"The native dog, the goshawk, and the black snake were originally my mountain protectors."
silence,
Zhang Xiuying looked at her son, while Wang Fenghua smoked a cigarette.
"There will be other people going up the mountain." Zhang Xiuying said softly.
"Sanxian and Xiaohei will patrol the mountain, and I have arranged some things on the mountain." Wang Yaodao.
The first thing to do is to make the people in the village fear this mountain. Fear will be contagious, and if you are afraid, you will not go up the mountain.
The death of the old man was an accident, but it would also have unexpected effects.
"Hey!" Zhang Xiuying sighed after hearing this.
"Mom, Dad, you don't have to worry too much."
"Just know it yourself." Wang Fenghua said.
After lunch, Wang Yaofu returned to the medical clinic.
"Do you think our son has changed?" After taking Wang Yao away, Zhang Xiuying came to her husband and said worriedly.
"It has changed." Wang Fenghua said.
"This mountain belongs to the village. We need to cultivate the land, graze livestock, and collect grass." These things Zhang Xiuying said are indispensable for the life of the villagers.
"Half of the houses in the village have been sold, and many people will move out by then. Besides, half of Dongshan and Xishan have already been contracted!" Wang Fenghua said.
"There is still a lot of land under the mountain."
There is a spacious and long open space between the east and west mountains. The main cultivated land in the village is here. The cultivated land on the mountain is mainly concentrated on the north side of the east mountain and west mountain close to the village. Because the south mountain is relatively far away, from It takes at least an hour or so to get back and forth from the village. It is inconvenient to get water, and agricultural equipment cannot be driven up there. There is no cultivated land except for grazing.
The conversation between the couple quickly ended because guests came, people from the village.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, there were two siblings on top of the Western Mountain.
"Stop leaning forward!" Looking at the rocks in front of him, Chen Ying had a very bad feeling.
Stones blocked the southbound mountain road.
"This is a man-made arrangement." She said with certainty.
"Sir?" Chen Zhou asked.
"Nine times out of ten, he doesn't want anyone moving on."
The place where the two of them were was already at the edge of the West Mountain and the Nanshan Mountain. In fact, these mountains were connected together and there was no such clear boundary. What they see in front of them is the incomplete "rock formation" laid out by Wang Yao, which almost trapped two people who entered by mistake last time.
"Go back?"
The two siblings turned around and turned back.
Somewhere in the Western Mountains, a sheep came up the mountain for some unknown reason and was wandering around on the mountain.
As it walked, it sniffed on the ground. A pit stood in front of it, sinking into the ground. The soil was a strange black-gray color. In the pit, there was a dry plant of unknown origin.
Hey, this stupid silly sheep stood on the edge of the pit, clatter, the soil on the edge of the pit was not strong to begin with, and it collapsed under the sheep's trampling, and then the sheep fell into the pit. There was dust flying in the air.
The sheep didn't fall down, but just shook its head a few times, as if thinking about what had just happened. Then it wanted to jump up, but it tried several times without success. It was strange that the goat, which was good at moving on the mountain, could not climb up.
No matter how you look at it, it feels strange.
It also felt strange, so it kept shaking its head.
Finally climbed up.
A family in a mountain village.
"Old Wang, you know how to drink, and all the sheep in our house have disappeared!" A middle-aged woman shouted loudly into the house.
The pen is still there, but the sheep in it have gone somewhere.
There is still a crack in the door.
"It's broken!" The man rushed out of the back room, still smelling of alcohol.
A sheep costs hundreds of dollars!
By this time it was getting dark.
"This damn sheep!" The man cursed in a low voice while searching for it on a nearby mountain.
What!
He heard the sound of a sheep braying, and following the sound, he found the sheep gnawing on a tree.
"You stupid sheep!" He stepped forward, grabbed the sheep's ears, and slapped it hard twice.
Alas, the sheep looked at him innocently.
"go home."
After leading the sheep back home, it was completely dark by this time.
After dinner, Wang Yao went up the mountain early.
"Sanxian, where is Xiaohei?" After entering the medicine field, Wang Yao called the native dog.
After a while, the black snake appeared in front of it.
"Xiao Hei, are there other snakes on this mountain?"
Although this black snake has spirituality, it is not a human being after all, and is even far inferior to a native dog. Naturally, it will not really understand what Wang Yao means.
"Forget it, go ahead."
He patted the snake's head, and the black snake left again.
"Sanxian, besides Xiaohei, are there any other snakes on this mountain?"
Woof, the native dog responded.
