I leaned on the edge of the rock, listening carefully, and quickly understood in my heart that the two people teamed up into the mountains of western Hunan with the purpose of hunting the big snake. This boa constrictor was too pitiful. It escaped their hunting a few days ago and was hit by them again today.
I was uneasy. The two men had tools for catching snakes. The tools that fired steel nails were very lethal. Should I follow quietly and help a bunch of big snakes
I thought to myself, if I didn’t go back first, I called the fat uncle to help, but it would take an hour to go back and forth. When we came back, the snake might be stripped of its courage. No, I have to go and help.
If I don't help the big snake, when the little green snake wakes up, it will definitely blame me. After I thought about it, I took off my schoolbag and placed it under the stone, pressing it with a small stone. He took off the green leaves from the trees on both sides, crushed them and applied them on his face and hands, so that he could temporarily protect himself from being recognized by others.
The voices in the forest were getting closer and closer, and only two men were seen, their bodies wrapped tightly, and their faces were covered with black cloth. They could not see their faces, but their eyes were very vigilant.
It seems that they don't believe that there are Gu worms in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Western Hunan, but they are very afraid of Gu worms, so they are tightly packed. One of them was carrying a black bag, and one of them was carrying a modified simple crossbow arrow in his hand.
The nails should be fired from the crossbow arrows.
I thought to myself, since they don't believe that there are gu worms in the Xiangxi Gu sect, then I will use gu worms to scare them, it is the best to scare them away. If you can't, you have to delay more time and try to let the snake run farther.
The two followed the traces of the snake crawling, the sky was getting dark, and the two took out the flashlights from the black bag. They walked forward along the gully and waited for them to pass. I quietly turned down the road and followed the gully.
I picked up a few eggs the size of stones, put them in my pockets, followed their footprints, and walked all the way. There was a strange fragrance along the way, which should have been left by the snake crawling over.
After walking for about half an hour, the west side was completely dark, and the whole forest became pitch black. Fortunately, if the two of them walk in front, there will be light.
Suddenly, one of them shouted: "Brother, the big snake went into the cave. Do you think this big snake is stupid? Why do you have to go into the cave to rest every time?"
Another replied: "It's more than a month before the warming of spring. It crawls in the wild for too long and consumes too much physical strength. It must be unable to stand it. So it must find a cave to rest. You can bring some firewood and it is right at the entrance of the cave. Life, let's smoke out the big snake..."
I didn't think so well. After the temperature dropped at night, the vigor of the snake would drop a lot. It fled all the way and couldn't eat. The snake's strength is simply not enough to hang the two poachers.
I heard that one of them was going to make firewood, so I bowed and followed it against the ground. Sure enough, one of them looked for firewood on the side, walked a few meters away, and shouted back, "Big brother, do you think something is following us?"
The eldest brother guarding the entrance of the cave responded: "Don't talk nonsense, it's dark. The people in the nearby village have already gone home for dinner. How can anyone follow us..."
"I mean something is following me, not necessarily a person." People asked in a low voice.
Just when he said this, I picked up a stone and threw it to the other side with force. The stone slammed, and the sound could go far.
"Who!" Brother Dongkou turned around and looked around.
"Brother, do I have to get firewood?" another person asked.
"Go... I don't believe that there are ghosts in this mountain..." The eldest brother's voice was trembling, and he calmed down quickly.
I lay in the dark without making any sound. I moved a few meters to the side and threw another stone. Then I pinched my nose and coughed: "I am the Great Mountain Gu God, who are you, why are you hunting my mount? …"
The stone was thrown out to make a noise, to attract them to look over. At this moment, I spoke suddenly, and it was not easy for them to perceive my position. After saying this, I immediately moved aside three meters.
With two swishes, two steel nails flew past and hit the place where I just stayed. One of the nails hit the stone, bounced and hit the camellia tree beside me, and finally landed beside me.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, the big brother shouted: "Who, sneakily, get out of me, be careful that I kill you."
The little brother has retreated: "Big brother, he said he is the Great Mountain Gu God, and said that we hurt his mount, will he kill us?"
The eldest brother cursed: "Are you deaf? It's clearly the voice of a child, but also pretended to be the voice of an adult. There is no Gu God, if there is a Gu God, I will kill him too!"
I pinched my nose to speak, and made my voice hoarse. I didn't expect this person to hear it. If I run a little bit, the nails will hit me.
It seems that this person is not simple.
People who dare to poach pythons in the mountains of Miaojiang should have two brushes.
I lay on the ground, thinking of countermeasures. The eldest brother said again, "The kid is hiding there. We will catch it over there. I want to see, that kid has such courage!"
The little brother said, "Big brother, let's say it's not a conflict with the local Miao people. What if we are a child of a Miao family?"
The eldest brother sneered: "In the wilderness, it is easier to kill a child than to kill a python. Believe me, it's not a great mountain gu god."
I was shocked, that eldest brother said such a cruel thing, it seems that it is really not a good thing. I pressed against the ground, controlled my movements, and crawled forward slowly. The light of two flashlights shone through.
The two of them have already walked towards this side from left to right, and I felt a little regretful. I thought they would only hurt the snake and wouldn't kill people, but now listening to their tone, I don't mind killing someone in the mountains.
I lay down on the ground and thought about countermeasures quickly. If I jump up and flee with my legs, they will find out immediately. The crossbow arrows in my hand will also shoot steel nails directly. The nails are very penetrating. Will hurt the deadly part of my body.
Since you can't escape, why bother to stand up and confront them. I wanted to say this, and coughed again: "Don't shoot steel nails here, I'll come out!"
The eldest brother replied: "You raise your hand first." I raised my hand according to their request and walked out slowly. The light of two flashlights shot over, and one of them directly shone on my face.
The eldest brother asked, "Which village are you from? Why are you following us?"
I looked at the crossbow arrow facing me and said, "I am from Camellia, I am not following you. We are looking for my big snake, it seems to be hiding in the cave. Have you seen it?"
The eldest brother sneered: "The big snake is raised by you, do you think I'm stupid?" After a moment of stunned, he said: "We? Are you not just a kid?"
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "When my big snake is in the winter, it will be stocked in the wild. I bandaged it the other day and took out a few steel nails. I think you got it..."
The little brother said, "Big brother, it's true. There are indeed traces of bandaged on the big snake. This snake is really raised by their family. Now their family has come out to look for the snake. Let's go quickly..."
The eldest brother asked, "How many people are there in your family?"
I calmly said: "I have three uncles and seven cousins. I put the big snake in a cave to heal. When I went to see it in the afternoon, I found it was gone, so I asked my uncle and cousin to help us find it. …"
The little brother said, "Brother, there are more than a dozen of them in the mountains. Let's evacuate as soon as possible. You don't have to lose too much. You can also hunt snakes in a different place after a while."
The eldest brother looked at me with eagle-like eyes: "Little baby, you know, it's not a good price to lie to me. Since you came out with your family to find snakes, why would you be alone?"
I laughed loudly: "Where is there a single place? We are scattered in the mountains, and we will use gu worms to communicate with each other. Once someone finds a big snake, we will use gu worms to notify everyone to come and gather."
What I thought in my heart was that if I were him, I would force my seven cousins and three uncles to name them.
The eldest brother hesitated for a while, then asked, "Do you have Gu worms on your body?"
