Lao Lin and I were helpless and extremely decadent. When people are depressed, all kinds of negative thoughts come one after another.

I think it is very likely that Master Zeng died in the Snake Chang Valley, otherwise why not go home? If Master Zeng dies, it will be impossible for me to extend my life. Even if Master Zeng does not die, there are probably eighty-nine clues that are also in the Snake Chang Valley.

There is no hope even if I can't enter the Snake Intestine Valley. I feel more desperate than ever. Can I only live to be thirty years old?

"How powerful the old monster inside is. Is there any chance of inviting your master to come back?" Lao Lin asked.

I shook my head, feeling depressed and too lazy to explain. My master has no ability to do anything now. As for the monster in Snake Intestine Valley, I have no way of knowing how powerful it is, but I can feel that I am like a child standing in front of a giant. It is not at all

A series.

"Second Master, if you knew that you could only live for a short time...for example, you could only live for one more year, what would you do?" I suddenly asked Lao Lin, although in the past three years I have spent all my time practicing Qigong and

While studying, I tried not to think about this issue, but my heart was always depressed and uneasy. I didn’t dare to talk about this topic with Master. No one else knew about it except Master, so I had no one to talk to and communicate with.

"You figured out that I'm going to die soon?" Lao Lin changed his face in vain.

"No, no, just a casual chat."

"Tell me, I can bear it..." Although Lao Lin's tone was tough, his expression became even more ugly.

I couldn't laugh or cry: "I said it was just a hypothesis. Just answer me."

"I don't assume!"

"Maybe this will help me think about how to save Uncle Wu."

Lao Lin is not a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs. In fact, his brain may be more developed than his limbs. He is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. Most people are confused by his rough, rude and straightforward appearance, so Lao Lin is not easy to deceive.

.He stared at me doubtfully: "If it's to save him, I can just assume that if I can only live for one more year..."

Lao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he showed a look of determination: "If I can only live for one more year, I will rob money, rob women, and do whatever I want! ***, I'm going to die anyway, what else can I do?

Afraid?"

I sweated violently and was speechless. Old Lin was different from me. I couldn't be like Old Lin. I had too many things that I couldn't let go of.

"Second Master, can you really do this? First of all, the legal society does not allow you to act like this, secondly, your behavior will bring trouble to your relatives, and thirdly, your behavior will hurt innocent people. If others

Are you willing to act like this and hurt you? Humans are social animals and cannot live without others and society..."

Lao Lin patted me on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Your master is a yin-yang man with too many stinky rules. When he was young, he went to a private school for many years and drank a lot of Kong Laoer's urine, so what kind of **** ethics are there?"

There are so many truths that you tie yourself tightly, you

Don't learn from him. Life is so short. Enjoy it when you should enjoy it, and let it go when you should let it go. How can I care so much? If I am going to die, I must at least stay within the bottom line of what I think is possible.

, I did everything I wanted to do most without leaving any regrets.”

I nodded, Lao Lin's words made sense, but I already owed a lot of people, my mother's nurturing grace, my master's nurturing grace, and... I suddenly thought of Chen Xing, although I didn't take the initiative to hurt her,

But the facts have caused some harm to her and left a shadow on her life. The root cause of all this is the demon fox. Now the demon fox and I are one, so I have some obligations to repay the debt owed by the demon fox.

Thinking of Chen Xing, I feel a little warm in my heart. After all, I have had the closest contact between a man and a woman with her, and I have completely seen her body. She is my "fiancée"! Maybe before leaving this world

, it’s time to visit her and do something to help her.

Lao Lin slapped me hard: "What are you stunned for? Have you figured out a way?"

"Uh, uh, I'm just thinking." I cheered up, cleared my mind of all the messy things, and concentrated on the problem in front of me.

After looking at the mist for a while, I suddenly came up with the idea that if I just wanted to save people, I might not necessarily go into Snake Intestine Valley! I whispered a few words into Lao Lin's ear, and Lao Lin looked at me with a puzzled look on his face:

"Okay?"

I said with great certainty: "As long as you do what I say, there is a 80% chance!"

"Okay, you can give it a try."

The two of us seemed to have no choice but to linger around until almost noon. Our stomachs were growling because we hadn’t eaten breakfast today. Lao Lin took the repaired firecracker and went out for a while. During the day, there were not many wild animals.

He hid when he was far away from the crowd, and the barrel of the gun was somewhat deformed. The iron sand spread too much when it was hit, so he only came back with two unknown birds.

All the food we ate the night before, including the seasonings, were stolen by the savages, but Lao Lin had his own way. He peeled and washed the two birds, put some grass roots and tree bark in, and the soup was still sweet and delicious. We ate it.

The idea is still unfinished, not half full yet.

In the afternoon, I went to the pine forest to explore, and every time I found the Yin Qi condensed and formed, I ran out. After "teasing" the ghosts several times, I can confirm that the old monster in the Snake Intestine Valley is subject to some restrictions, and its influence cannot exceed the pine forest.

All kinds of poisonous insects will not escape.

There is a large area outside the pine forest without trees, only some thatch, thorns and low shrubs. I chose a place to camp more than a hundred meters away from the pine forest and picked up a large amount of dry firewood. I cut down some small trees in the old forest.

, they sharpened some wooden sticks and drove piles into the ground. Some of the wooden sticks were tied together with ropes. It seemed that they wanted to build a hut here for a long time.

After struggling until evening, Old Lin actually built a rudimentary wooden house, but it had no roof or walls, so it was impossible to move in tonight. I yelled that I was hungry, so Old Lin had to go look for something to eat, and came back ten minutes later.

There were actually two more birds, but they were better than at noon. One was a pheasant with a little more meat.

The food was really unsatisfactory, so after dark, Lao Lin struck again. Shortly after he left, there was a gunshot, and he quickly carried back a wild boar weighing hundreds of kilograms, with a python as thick as an arm dragging behind it. It turned out that a

The wild boar was hunting a python. When he was about to succeed, Lao Lin shot him in the eye, and the half-dead python became a trophy.

God was really helping me, so we started immediately. We put the snake meat into the pot to make soup, and cut off the wild boar in large pieces and grilled it.

Wild boar meat has a strong fishy taste, and it doesn’t taste good when grilled without seasonings. However, Lao Lin has a lot of tricks. He has collected a lot of grass roots, bark and wild fruits during the day, smashed them and boiled them in water for a while.

, the soup is smeared on the barbecue, and soon the alluring aroma spreads.

I lifted up a large piece of roasted pork that was golden brown and dripping with fat. I blew it a few times and took a bite. It was a little sweet, a little spicy, and a little salty, but it was already delicious. Not only did it not smell fishy, ​​it also had a special flavor.

.

"Second Master, how do you make it so delicious?" I asked vaguely while biting into pieces.

Old Lin was somewhat proud, pointing to the bark and grass roots around him and said: "Cinnamon, orange leaves, star anise and the like are originally wild spices and can be found in the mountains; there are also wild garlic, wild onions and the like that are not only good for seasoning, but also have great benefits for the body.

Benefits: yam, polygonatum and the like can be eaten raw, and stewed in soup is also good... If there weren't so many things to eat on the mountain, I would have gone back to the city long ago, and you will never be able to eat real game in the city."

As he spoke, Lao Lin wrapped a large piece of wild boar skin around his calf and tied it tightly, then cut another piece and tied it around his wrist, like a wrist guard used by ancient martial arts practitioners. I asked curiously: "Second Master, what are you doing?

What?"

"Wild boar is the natural enemy of venomous snakes. As long as the venomous snake smells the smell of wild boar, its whole body will become weak. If you tie the wild boar skin on your hand, the venomous snake will not dare to bite you. Now we have no snake repellent, so we can only use this. After you eat it,

Also tie a few pieces to your hands and feet."

I responded and continued to barbecue while eating. In fact, the two of us couldn't eat so much. I had a deeper meaning in digging deep holes to accumulate food.

After eating and drinking, Lao Lin became energetic and started singing at the top of his lungs. What he sang was the "Pinghua" from his hometown. He sang and talked for a while, a bit like talking about cross talk. Anyway, I didn't understand a word of it, and the rhythm was

It doesn't sound good either.

After singing for more than ten minutes, Lao Lin asked: "How did I sing?"

I said bluntly: "It's too ugly, just like an old man crying..."

"What, what did you say?" Lao Lin jumped up, "My words are clear and authentic. If you don't understand, just say you don't understand. Why are you scolding me for crying in mourning?"

"This is not a question of whether you can understand or not, but a question of rhythm and state of mind. You see, what Uncle Wu sang last night was full of concentration, drunkenness, full of energy, and the lingering sound; Second Master, you sang so gracefully

Naughty, hypocritical, absent-minded, not in the state at all..."

"You dare to say that I can't sing as well as him? I'll beat you to death, you idiot!" Lao Lin yelled, rushed over and punched me in the chest.

"You can't sing well and you get so angry that you hit people. You're going too far!" I picked up the wooden stick with sparks and wild boar and threw it at Lao Lin.

Lao Lin hurriedly raised his hand to block the stick, and his boar-skin wrist blocked the stick, but the sparks and grease got on his body, which made him even more angry. He kicked me angrily and said, "How dare you go against me?"

If you hit me, do you want to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?"

I waved the wooden stick to block and backed away: "You are a master who is old and disrespectful. You have no ability and you still want to kill me. I don't recognize you as my master anymore!"

"Little bastard, if you dare to say that I have no ability, I will beat you to death. Look, I will beat you to death..."

"If you have the ability, go rescue Uncle Wu!"

…

The two of us were scolding and fighting. Lao Lin was fierce and merciless. I didn't dare to fight him head-on. Fortunately, I had a weapon in my hand and retreated further and further away from the bonfire. After fighting for a while, I turned around.

I ran away, and Lao Lin was chasing after me, but he had no night vision, and it was inconvenient to rely on a head-mounted miner's lamp for lighting, so he couldn't catch up with me at all.

We were far away from the campfire and disappeared silently. At this time, a dark figure flashed out of the pine forest, nearly three meters tall, with a huge body, and ran towards the camp with long strides.

The black shadow quickly arrived at the bonfire and picked up the wild boar meat I had roasted with the sticks, even the meat roasted on the fire. Unexpectedly, it walked to the bonfire and stepped down, causing the ground to suddenly sink.
Chapter completed!
