Chapter 333: Swapping Snakes for Life (1)
The third brother "baji" sipped the wine, then bit a piece of bacon, and slowly said: "The Lao Snake family turned out to be a hunter who collected herbs and hunted in a village. He was in his forties and had a tiger-backed and wolf-backed waist. He never left the vacancies when he went to the mountains to hunt. He also had the unique skills of "whistle deer".
According to the third brother, most people who collect herbs in the deep mountains and forests are good at understanding the physical properties of herbs and can climb steep cliffs. However, this is just a last-class craft. To find rare and precious herbs, in addition to being brave and desperate, one must also have enough luck. All the best herbs have unique secret techniques, and "Whistle Deer" is one of the most recently lost special skills.
In the deepest forest of Miaojiang, there have been groups of elks in the deepest place since ancient times. The leader of the deer king is strange and lustful. Every late spring and early summer, it will mate with more than a hundred female doe in one day. Finally, it will die and lie down on the ground and "leisurely" and "long" sound. This deer sound is equivalent to a signal of help. When the doe in the deep mountains hears it, it will immediately come with Ganoderma lucidum. Although the herb collecting herbs cannot find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, the deer can always find it. The deer king swallows Ganoderma lucidum and can rush back to the original without much effort.
People who whistle deer must wear deer antlers and deer-skin disguises, hide in the primeval forest to imitate the deer's song, which leads the doe to bring Ganoderma lucidum, then knock down the doe, peel and scrape the flesh and then take away the Ganoderma lucidum grass. However, you must have talent to learn this sound, and not one of ten thousand people can imitate it.
More than ten years ago, the old snake entered the mountain whistle deer and just used an iron stick to smash the doe's head. Unexpectedly, the deer king, who was even bigger than a cow, suddenly jumped out from behind.
The deer king had deer antlers like bone nails, with branches lateral and sharp and hard. The big beasts in the mountains had to avoid it when they saw it. The old snake was caught off guard and had a big hole on the spot. However, he desperately fled to the dense forests based on his experience. Because it is said that deer antlers are most afraid of dense forests. If they are entangled by vines and cannot move, they will only be able to be slaughtered.
But at that time, the old snake escaped too quickly and couldn't tell the direction. He stepped on the torso of the fallen ancient tree. It was a rotten dead tree shell with several clusters of toxic bacteria inside. He pounced on it and splashed juice on it. In order not to let the poison get into his mind, he endured the pain and used a knife to peel off his face, and finally saved his life.
After returning to the village, the old snake, who was proficient in herbal habits and various local doctors' prescriptions, set up a trap, killed a monkey-king-level golden monkey, and then stuck the skin on the monkey's face to his face. I don't know what medicine he used, but the monkey's face was actually stuck with his face. However, from then on, the old snake's fluffy skin gradually turned black, and there was always an indelible and strange smell on his body, and he could no longer go to the mountains to "whistle deer".
When we heard the third brother roughly describe the incident, we all gave a thumbs up and praised it. We didn’t expect that there were such cruel people in this world, how would it feel to cut off our own face?
But soon, a guy said, "Then why does he call Lao Snake? Shouldn't he be called Lao Snake?"
The third brother shook his head, sipped the strong wine again, and said, "This is nothing to the old snake guy. The reason why he is called the old snake is because this guy should have died, but he exchanged his life with a poisonous snake and survived again."
As soon as the third brother said this, everyone shook their heads and smiled: "You are so bragging? There are heart-changing, kidney-changing, ear-changing mouth-changing, but how can there be life-changing? If there is a life-changing, it is also the thing that the yellow-skinned weasel did. Could it be that this old snake is a weasel that has become a sperm? Then why isn't he called an old wolf?"
The third brother was anxious and his face turned red. I didn’t know if he had drunk too much or was dissatisfied with the jokes of many friends. So he stood up and said, “I have seen this with my own eyes, how could he brag?”
It turned out that after the old snake recovered the wound on his face, he began to hunt in the mountains again. However, he had a strange smell on his body, and the effect of hunting was not as good as before. The wild beasts in the mountains could smell his body from afar, so they avoided it.
In order to make a living, the old snake had no choice but to join some Miao people to collect herbs. The "Swallow Cliff" is a cliff with a vertical height of 200 meters. Below is a deep ravine. The terrain is steep and even monkeys in the mountains cannot climb up. Only flying swallows with wings can go up.
But it is precisely because of this that the "Swallow Cliff" is covered with countless precious herbs, even ginseng as big as an arm, and some indescribable century-old medicine kings.
In order to collect those precious herbs, the old snake tied it around his waist with a rope, and the Miao people he went to step by step from the top of the cliff of the "Swallow Cliff".
Unexpectedly, just after being placed more than ten meters, countless monkeys emerged from the top of the cliff of "Swallow Cliff". All the monkeys were holding stones and smashed at the old snake. The old snake could not hide, so he fell into a deep ravine on the spot and died tragically on the spot.
Speaking of this, the third brother sighed and said, "There are too many wild animals that die in the hands of the old snake, and he is too cruel and often eats monkey brains. After catching the snake, he takes out the snake galls alive and swallows it. Moreover, the skin on his face is the monkey king among the monkeys, so the monkeys in the mountains look particularly red when they see him, and they kill him while they are unprepared."
"Damn it, third brother, can we tell me some point? Don't always talk about these stupid people. Come on, come on, tell me how the old snake survived?" Several guys started to cheer.
After the old snake died, the third brother and a few people who usually have good relationships with him together salvaged his body from the pool under the deep ravine, and then brought it to the charity village where we are.
At that time, the person who guarded the corpse was an old man, and the method of making zombies was very good. The third brother and others sent the old snake's corpse late at night, so he planned to use arsenic to make it into a zombie.
But just as the old man took action, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and then a flash of lightning as thick as his arms fell from the air and hit the roof of the Yizhuang directly.
Then the thunder sounded like an explosion, one after another, and the sounds fell near the roof, and the thunder fire circled around the house. The third brother and others were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they hid under the bed and did not dare to run out.
Then, the house was hit by lightning again, and a large area of the corner collapsed, and the bricks and tiles were burned to pieces. Just as the third brother and the others were thinking of running out to avoid being hit by lightning, a long snake as thick as a thigh suddenly rolled down the eaves. The snake was covered with red patterns, and its eyes seemed to be covered with gold, shining.
