Chapter 44: A Swarm of Snakes in the Bamboo Forest
I walked towards the bamboo forest with crispy meat, after all, it was daytime, and my mood was still a little relaxed. ()
Before we got close to the bamboo forest, I and Crispy Meat heard the sound of people, we happily glanced at each other, knowing that we had come to the right place, children generally love to join in the fun, and I and Crispy Meat almost ran towards the direction of the bamboo forest.
There are so many people, this is my first reaction, the original dense bamboo forest is gone, I saw people in the three layers, the outer three layers of surrounding, I am afraid that the whole countryside people have been dispatched.
No, no, it's not all, it is estimated that people from nearby villages have come.
The bamboo forest is gone, but there are a lot of bamboos piled up in a nearby vacant lot, and if you look at it, you can know that it is newly dug up.
I was afraid that the crispy meat would not be gone, so I pulled the crispy meat's clothes and squeezed it desperately, and some adults were not satisfied, and said: "Don't squeeze the little baby, it's dangerous inside, what's the fun for the little baby?" ”
I went in wholeheartedly, because I felt that my master was inside, so I ignored his words at all, but the crispy meat stopped, and looked at others with blank eyes and asked; "Uncle, tell me, where is the danger? Is there a big snake? ”
"I don't know if the big snake is not a snake, but I heard someone say it in the morning, but it seems that an ancient tomb has been dug up here, and the troops here are not allowed to kill snakes. The uncle was also enthusiastic, and he spoke in a row.
"And what are you doing here?" Crispy meat is just a chatter, and anyone who catches it has to ask a fifteen-ten.
"What? Look at the snake walking, I have grown so big, I have seen a lot of snakes, but I have never seen a group of snakes crawling around, I want to see it today. Besides, when the snake is gone, we still have to dig bamboo and earn a share of the work. It is estimated that this uncle is also a chatter, and he answers in great detail what Crispy Meat asks.
"Uncle, what's going on with this ancient tomb?" Originally, I was going to squeeze in, but when I thought that the crispy meat would talk to someone anyway, I might as well ask.
"I don't know what's going on, because this time digging bamboo, it is required to dig the roots together, dig and turn the ground over again, and resolutely can't let the long bamboo, this is not the root of some bamboos that is called a deep Oh, just dig it, and the result is to dig a big stone, which asks to continue digging, a digging, hey, out of a stone door, weird, say everything, I think it's an ancient tomb, but I think, where is the ancient tomb open the door?" The uncle took out a homemade yellow cigarette and lit it, it seemed that he was excited and needed to calm down.
Hearing him say this, I pulled the crispy meat and squeezed it in without saying a word, and in the process of squeezing, I still heard the uncle chattering; "I don't know what to think about here, one moment to make steel, another time to catch rats, and now I have to dig bamboo, and in a few years I have to cut down trees, right?"
The two of us are small, and soon squeezed into the front row, this look, unbelievable, a lot of People's Liberation Army guards on the periphery of the bamboo forest, this bamboo forest has been dug potholes, in the middle of some places, even pulled up a long black cloth, and I can't see what is inside.
I was in a hurry, so I ran towards the bamboo forest with the crispy meat, and before I ran two steps, a young warrior who looked quite young came over and shouted in standard Northeast dialect: "Those two children, what are the pimples?" I can't run inside. ”
"I'm looking for my master." I hurriedly returned in 'salt and pepper' Mandarin, and the crispy meat looked at me strangely beside me, Master, what Master? At this point, I didn't have time to explain.
"Heh, children can't lie, return to the master, go and go, stay and play, we are on a mission, and the children will be killed if they are disobedient." As he spoke, the little soldier smiled, the two dimples were quite deep, and he scared us, so he laughed first.
Don't look at him as chubby, chubby, in fact, he is a good man, and he could see that the little soldier was scaring him, so he stepped forward with a smirk: "Brother, let me tell you, I'm here to find my dad, and my dad is inside." ”
I almost didn't throw up, I just thought that this crispy meat and my master were a perfect match? It's all nonsense without blinking, my master is obscene, this crispy meat is a pig and a tiger, look at his stupid face when he smiles, others dare not suspect that it is fake, and when he doubts it, it feels like a crime.
The little soldier believed it and asked, "You didn't fool you, did you?" Is your dad here? I said, "
The little soldier was talking to the crispy meat, but I was anxious to go in, and looked around, and this look really showed me an acquaintance, who was a person in the small courtyard.
I remember very clearly, the last time my master took me to the town, didn't he go to a small courtyard? This is the man who came to open the door, and I am absolutely sure of him, because I was eating peanuts that day, and he was going to help me sweep the shell, but my master yelled, and he shoved the broom into my hand.
"Uncle, uncle!" I jumped up and shouted.
The man looked around suspiciously, and I was in a hurry, so I shouted directly: "Don't look at it, it's you who shout." ”
When the man found me, he was stunned at first, then smiled, walked over, and directly flicked my forehead with his finger, and said: "Little doll, the person is not big, and the temper is not small, what is the screaming is me?" ”
"I can't help it, I'm here to find my master." I've met a savior, and I won't let go if I catch it.
"Looking for your master?" The man's brow furrowed slightly, and then he said, "Oh, I know, but I don't dare to take you to him casually, you wait, I'll go and inform him." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, I touched his forehead that was a little painful by him, and waited anxiously, not for anything else, but curious like a cat scratching.
After a while, the man came out, this time he didn't play me, and said with a smile: "Let's go, little doll, your master said to let you in." ”
As soon as I heard this, I excitedly pulled the crispy meat and ran inside, and when the man saw it, he couldn't help but shout: "Hey, little brother, you still want to take someone with you?" ”
"My brothers, it's fine." I was afraid that he would stop me, so I ran wildly with the crispy meat all the way towards the place where the curtain was drawn.
The man didn't mean to stop me, he smiled bitterly twice, and let me go.
There was only one entrance to the long curtain, and I ran with the crispy meat and didn't pay attention to the front, but I bumped into a person all of a sudden, and I looked up and saw that it wasn't my cheap master, but which one?
"Sanwa'er, you are very well-informed." Master smiled, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he had his unique style - washing my brain (sarcastically mocking me).
I was in a hurry to go in to see the excitement, and I didn't bother with him, I just patted my chest and said proudly: "Don't look at which one I am?" My brother sent me information in a matter of minutes, how could a revolutionary soldier not know where the enemy was? ”
"Huh!" I was greeted directly by a slap from the Master, and it hit me on the back with a 'snap'.
After the beating, he ignored me, just stared up and down with a smile and kept looking at the crispy meat, and after watching it for a long time, he said: "This little fat baby is also blessed, and he is also a true friend with you, so come in." ”
After letting go, let's both go in, I cheered with Crispy Meat, and followed my master behind.
As soon as we entered the curtain, I and the crispy meat were startled, and the snakes, the dense snakes, one by one, one by one, all in this narrow curtain, one end of the curtain was a platform, on which several people stood, and at the other end I saw a small cliff that led to the other side of the cemetery.
Below the cliff was a small pond, and a little past the pond was a wasteland, and there was a mountain connected to it, and there was no one living on the mountain.
I was thinking that it would be a good idea to drive the snake down that way.
"Come with me, or you'll fall into the snake pile, and no one will save you." My master walked in front with a hand behind his back and reminded him.
I'm not worried, I know he will definitely save me, but when I see this dense snake, my scalp is tight, follow his footsteps, where dare I be a little lazy, as for the crispy meat, I have long been afraid to pull the corners of my clothes and walk, and I don't know if I regret this trip.
It's also strange to say, except for the small platform that is a few points higher in this narrow curtain, the rest is all flat ground, in fact, my master took me, and I also walked in the snake group, but I don't know why, wherever my master goes, the snake group will scatter and do not take the initiative to attack.
I have goosebumps on my body, I walk very carefully, but I can't help but look carefully, most of these snakes are 'bamboo leaf green', there are also non-poisonous cauliflower snakes, and a small number of 'hemp baby' (golden snake, silver snake), are highly venomous poisonous snakes, this look is less than thousands, anyway, they are all gathered at this end, there is no intention to go.
