Chapter 100: A Missed Opportunity

ΓΉTYYYYY we stop the car to rest? A few words? It was about Mandrill and the weird little imp I cleaned up.

The three of us took turns guessing the purpose of the old Taoist priest.

Guess what? We finally came to a conclusion? It's that old Tao may have a nervous problem. In other words? All three of us thought he was a very capable psychopath.

I asked Wang Junhui if there was such a person in the Taoist sect? He shook his head and said, "I have never heard of such a person." ”

Is it raining harder outside? There is no trend of decreasing at all? And on this mountain road except for our car? Didn't see any other cars again? Could it be that we are going down this road today?

See that this rain has no tendency to decrease? I asked Wang Junhui. Go to Wang Jinhu's village? Is there any other way? He thought for a moment and said, "Yes? But a detour? Rounding several towns? Passing from another mountain road? Not much easier than this path? Wait a little longer if the rain doesn't stop? Let's take a detour. ”

The landslide ahead isn't too bad? And if the rain stops? We'll be able to clean it up in more than twenty minutes. But what if the rain doesn't stop? Are we sick and injured going to work in the rain? I'm afraid it hurts my body.

And it's still raining? What if there is another landslide there? It's also possible.

The rain shows no signs of stopping.

Waited a little longer. Wang Junhui said, "Let's take a detour." ”

Why don't you wait for us to turn around? About a hundred meters behind our car, there was a loud sound of "boom, boom, boom"? The ground on our side was also trembling slightly.

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Earthquake?"

Wang Junhui shook his head and said, "No." I'm afraid that there is a landslide behind us? Looks like we're stuck here. ”

Don't wait for Wang Junhui to finish? Ahead of us? The original location of the landslide was also heard with a roaring sound? There was a secondary landslide ahead.

It's completely over.

Fortunately, the place where we stopped is relatively gentle? No steep slopes? Otherwise, I'm going to be even more nervous.

I asked Wang Junhui what to do next? He took a deep breath and said, "Can we only wait for the rain to stop?" This rain is so wicked! ”

"Click!"

And then another flash of light fell from the sky? Let the whole dark sky feel like daylight again.

And this lightning bolt is very close to us. The landing point is on the top of the slope across the ravine? In the moment when the lightning fell? A puff of smoke rising from the top of the mountain? Apparently some trees were chopped up and caught on fire.

But such a heavy rain? Surely there will be no fire? The smoke came out for a while and then it was gone.

It's the first time I've seen lightning at such a close distance? I'm starting to worry a little bit in my heart? What to do with the next thunder falling on the roof of our car?

And at this time, the roar of the flash flood in the ravine is gradually increasing? It shows that the scale of the flash flood is also getting bigger and bigger.

I can't help but glance into that ravine? Something is tumbling on that torrent? It jumps out of the flood from time to time? Facing the surging torrent upstream.

That thing looks like a giant python? It's almost more than 10 meters long.

When I saw this scene, I hurriedly told Wang Junhui and Lin Sen? The two of them also leaned over at the same time to look down? After seeing the huge snake shadow swimming upstream? Wang Junhui's eyes couldn't help but light up? And then quickly open the car door? And he rushed down.

Lin Sen hurriedly rushed down and said, "Junhui? There's a wound on the top of your head...; …; ”

Lin Sen also got out of the car? I'm just leaving the rabbit in the car? And then also went down? This rabbit fish? Don't seem interested in the snake? Still sleeping in the car.

Soon all three of us got wet? I asked Wang Junhui why he had to get out of the car to watch.

Because it's raining too loudly? He didn't hear what I was saying? I shouted at him again with my throat raised? Wang Junhui said: "The snake in the river may be about to turn into a dragon? This heavy rain? And this rolling lightning? It was all attracted by the giant python. ”

"Huajiao? Are you going to turn into a dragon?" I asked curiously.

Wang Junhui shook his head: "Isn't it?" The snake turned into a Jiao first? And then the dragon? But Jiao is also a type of dragon? It's a subspecies of dragon. ”

Do dragons really exist?

When I'm muttering in my heart? Wang Junhui continued: "Thousands of years of legends? Can it be passed down? Do you think its existence could be fake? Besides? In this world? Someone who has ever seen a snake turned into a Jiao? Not too little. ”

Really? I've seen a lot of photos and legends about snakes on the Internet before.

That python swimming against the torrent in the torrent? At the same time, the thunder in the sky also smashed into the torrent one after another? That python silently endured those lightnings? But it doesn't make any noise? It's as if those lightning bolts can't hurt it at all.

The serpent against the torrent? Not fast though? But definitely not slow? The three of us followed the trail of the python all the way up the road.

Got to the location of the landslide just now because the road was blocked? Will it take us some time to flip through it? Waiting for us to cross that stretch? I found that I could no longer see the python in the torrent.

We searched along the torrent for a while? Still haven't found any clues.

Can't find it? Wang Junhui sighed and said, "It seems that this is not our chance?" Today, we are afraid that we will not have the opportunity to see the whole process of its transformation. ”

I don't know how long this ravine is? Did the python continue up the ditch? We can't be sure either? So we had to give up? Then brave the rain and return to the car.

Got to the car? We're all undressed? Then take out the dry clothes you brought with you and change them into? What about wet clothes? Just threw it in the trunk.

Do it in the car? We can't help but feel a little regretful? This giant python turned into a Jiao? Is it a rare opportunity? We lost it.

Lin Sen said: "What can there be if you look at it and can't see it?" Does it turn its Jiao? Are we rushing our way? It's inherently irrelevant. ”

Lin Sen said so though? A lot of regret can be seen on his face.

We didn't speak? Wang Junhui took a towel and kept wiping the back of his head? He just had a wound there? If it's water? It is certainly not conducive to the further recovery of the wound.

But Wang Junhui didn't regret his actions just now? He didn't speak? It was as if I was thinking about something.

The lightning in the sky continues? But it's getting farther and farther away from us? The python is probably more than ten miles away from us.

His speed is really not something that we can keep up with.

Another hour or so? Is the rain here slowly stopping? Of course, the thunder and lightning also slowly stopped? It's just that it's late now? Since it's cloudy? So it's very dark.

But do we still have to keep going? One of them picked up a shovel and went to clean up the landslide.

The slag here is thick? And quite a few big rocks? Quite a lot of work to clean up? I don't have a few hours at a time? We can't finish cleaning up.

So Wang Junhui asked Lin Sen to find out if there was a village nearby? Then pay some villagers to come and help.

Are these mountain roads built according to the village? How many miles every once in a while? Will there be a village in a dozen miles? Are we lucky? Lin Sen went out for about forty minutes and brought a dozen with hoes? Shovel villagers come over.

With these villager helpers? We're basically hands-free.

Wait until the road is cleared? Lin Sen paid the money to those villagers? Let them fix the other side as well? We drove first.

From here, it will be at least an hour's journey to Wang Jinhu's village.

Along the way, we are still talking about the giant python? Can you talk about it? We can't escape a mood in the end? That's a pity.

When approaching Wang Jinhu's village? We returned to the purpose of our trip.

So what? I couldn't help but say, "You said that the old Taoist priest left those Taoist seals?" Could it have something to do with that giant python?"

Wang Junhui shook his head and said, "Probably not, right?" If these two things are forced together, is it too far-fetched? There is no connection between them. ”

I couldn't help but say: "Mandrill's strange ghost? And the Dao seal on the back of the dead this time? There is no connection between these three things. ”

Wang Junhui didn't continue to argue with me? He said, "Wait for us to get into the village?" Investigate the whole thing? Got more clues? We can draw conclusions. ”

I nodded, too.

At this time, Lin Sen suddenly said: "By the way? Did you say that python was successful?"

Wang Junhui and I shook our heads at the same time? How do I know this? Even me, a physiognomy master? With my current skills, I can't figure it out.

As Wang Junhui said? These belong to the heavens.

My grandfather once said? He said that the supreme realm of the physiognomy master? Is it to understand the real heavenly machine? And not simple numerology.

I asked him if he could see through the heavens. He laughed and laughed? There have been a few times.

What if my grandfather was here at this time? Even if he loses the python? I probably know if it's a success.

Thinking about these things? There's a village in front of us? Lin Sen said: "According to the navigation? We've got to the place. ”

Because it's only past eight o'clock? Isn't it too late? Arrived at the entrance of the village? We found out that a small store is still open? And there was a sound of "whoosh" mahjong machine shuffling cards inside.

Got a mahjong machine? Could it be that this small store is still a small chess and card room in the village?

How much has people's lives improved over the years? The chess and card room is no longer exclusive to people in the city? Many villages also have such chess and card rooms.

At this time, I also remembered the weird things that Wang Junhui said about Wang Jinhu? All of them are mahjong tiles made up of human body parts...; …;

Think of it this way? My heart was cold.

Meanwhile? The rabbit that has been sleeping next to it? Is it also a sudden spirit? Then he "whirred" at the small store a few times. Beans are estimated to be bloody.

Obviously? There's dirt in there!
