Chapter 69: The White Snake
As the saying goes, "Walnuts in July, pears in August, and rotten persimmons in September go to the market." It was early autumn, and it was July and August. The two of them hadn't gone far when they came across a pear tree.
The pear is slightly smaller than a fist. It has just been colored, but there is still a faint blush in the green air, which is very eye-catching. It seems to be planted by people in the mountains.
Old Wu's eyes grew hot when he saw it, but his stomach let out an unsatisfactory "grumbling" sound. He didn't think much about it at the moment. He quickly climbed up the tree, found the biggest one, and scooped it up without even thinking about it.
.Poke his head out from among the leaves and threw Xiaoya.
Lao Wu stopped on the tree and picked one. The skin was as thin as a tender film, and the flesh of the pear was full of water. Although it was not yet in season, the flesh of the pear was still a little sour, but the two of them couldn't eat it.
It was a joy. He had just finished eating and when he wanted to pick it again, Old Wu looked up and saw a bird's nest the size of a football on top of his head.
This is a rare game, Lao Wu thought to himself and climbed up a few steps, wanting to dig out the eggs in the bird's nest.
Xiaoya was standing under the tree. She hadn't finished eating the pears that Old Wu had thrown down. She didn't even see Old Wu climbing up again, nor did she see the bird's nest that Old Wu put on the top.
It would be best if they were nested bird eggs. He gathered up the weeds and roasted them immediately. Thinking in his heart, Old Wu had already put his hand into the bird's nest, and his tentacles were cold, like a bird's egg. Old Wu felt happy in his heart and raised his hand towards the bird's nest.
As soon as I retrieved it, I almost fell from the tree.
There are bird eggs here and there, and he is holding a snake tail as thick as his thumb in his hand.
The snake was about one meter long. Half of it was held by Old Wu, but the other half was still hanging on the tree. Feeling Old Wu grabbing his tail, he turned his head, his eyes glaring, and his scarlet tongue stammering.
A faint fishy smell rushed towards him.
Old Wu loosened his hand slightly, and saw that the snake was all white, with an oval-shaped head. It was a rare poisonous snake in the north, with white wax strips. There were three bulging things on the snake's belly.
The whole snake was round and round, so I guessed it was the three eggs in the bird's nest. I was caught up in everything. Before I could even dig out the eggs, I let this beast get in first.
While Lao Wu was thinking about this, he saw the white wax strip "slip out" and climb down from the tree. The next second, it was walking down the mountain like a madman.
As soon as Lao Wu looked up, he saw two black shadows flashing above his head, which turned out to be two crows. Seeing that the white wax strips had slipped away, the two black shadows also flew down the mountain like crazy. They swooped down.
, like a black lightning, the long beak pecked it, but it just stared at the right eye of the white wax stripe. Suddenly, the flesh and blood were bloody, and he didn't know whether the white wax stripe was alive or dead. Old Wu was secretly frightened when he saw it, but luckily it wasn't him.
Old Wu was about to get down from the tree, but he felt something was wrong. The sky in the forest was filled with birds, and there were rabbits on the ground. Rats as big as weasels, and pigs and badgers were all looking at them.
Running down the mountain.
"What on earth is going on?" The old man was wondering, but he felt a shaking under his feet.
"Is it an eruption on fire?" Lao Wu suddenly remembered his elementary school textbook, which said that animals' reactions to nature are several times higher than humans. Whenever a volcano erupts, people don't notice it, but animals have already
Start running away.
"no"
While the two were talking, they saw that a hole as thick as a wrist had been opened on the ground.
"It's an earthquake!!!"
Old Wu was horrified but did not know that all this was caused by himself. The two of them were in front of the stone beam. The fallen oil lamp ignited the corpse paste that had accumulated for thousands of years at the bottom of the pit. The corpse paste burned violently, and the entire mountain
They are all baked by the flames. And just under the waist pit is the passage leading to the third floor, with only this one layer in the middle.
This stone wall was roasted by fire on top and washed by water on the bottom. It could no longer bear the heat and cold. It completely shattered into pieces and collapsed. The cave had been excavated for thousands of years and was already crumbling due to weathering.
A blast by Cui Yuan and the others made it even more exciting. But unfortunately, the spreading flames licked the gunpowder left by the craftsmen. In a matter of seconds, the cave reached the edge of collapse.
The collapse of this waist pit caused a series of chain reactions. The large-scale depression on the third floor caused its own load-bearing structure to be destroyed, and it could no longer withstand the high pressure from the top. Suddenly, it collapsed. No
Without the protection of the third layer, the cave on the second layer has become a castle in the air. A slight vibration can break it into pieces. The whole mountain is covered with dust, and it sinks step by step in the expanding cracks.
.
Without hesitation, Lao Wu took Xiaoya and became one of the animals on the run.
As the saying goes: "It's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain." Especially at this critical moment when people are running for their lives. However, Xiaoya was not paying attention and tripped on a handful of weeds. She fell straight forward.
The two of them held hands, and when Xiaoya fell in love with her, she also pissed off Lao Wu.
The mountain was steep and steep, and it was impossible to stand up again. The two of them were like huge rocks rolling down the mountain, rolling faster and faster. Old Wu felt bad, looked at Xiaoya, but opened his arms and fiercely
He rushed over and held Xiaoya in his arms. He refused to let go.
The mountains are rugged with strange rocks, and from time to time there are tree stumps left by felling. Old Wu didn’t know how many times he was bumped and bumped, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart, and his stomach was full of meat and vegetables. But deep down in his heart, there was a feeling of unease.
Sweet, this is the first time since childhood that I have held Xiaoya in my arms so truly.
By the way, Xie Fei returned to Lao Wu and his family's hut last night. There was someone else in the house, about the same age as himself. It was Cui Yuan who stayed behind. Cui Yuan came out of this tomb a few days ago.
But a lot of people were killed. When he returned to the hut and was about to make some adjustments, he saw that Lao Wu and the others had disappeared. Cui Yuan was anxious and sent someone to the village to inquire. But he heard another surprising thing.
What is unbelievable is that the village chief and his wife disappeared for no reason. People in the village said that the village chief must have been greedy enough and ran away with his wife and children.
Cui Yuan was afraid that the matter would be exposed and implicate himself. He returned to Xi'an that night, leaving only one person here. He would wait for Lao Wu and the others to come back before going back together. But what Cui Yuan didn't know was that by chance, Lao Wu
He and Xie Fei also entered the ancient tomb.
When Xie Fei came back, this guy was stewing canned food in a pot. Without even thinking about it, Xie Fei picked up the pot and started eating like crazy. The people watching were all shocked, "Hey, darling, this is a starving Tuosheng."
