Chapter 23
There are actually not many snakes on the grassland. They can occasionally appear near rivers, mountain roots or in the woods.
The two young masters of the Shen family walked forward like heroes. They happened to reach a section where the road ran parallel to the river, and the grass beside the road became more lush, and the green turned black.
Suddenly, the tall grass to the right of the brothers was separated by a crack for no apparent reason, and the grass tilted to both sides.
This grass gap slowly extended forward, almost at the same speed as walking on the hills and ridges, following closely behind the brothers.
Where the grass is slightly shorter, a snake's head raised high is clearly visible.
Pheasant neck!
There is a kind of snake that is called "pheasant neck" by local herdsmen. It is named because its neck has red and green stripes that sparkle in the sun, just like the feathers on the neck of a pheasant. This kind of snake is difficult to find
If it is provoked, it will chase people. It is also very fast on the grass, and it can be called a veritable "flying on the grass".
Herdsmen are not afraid even if they are chased when they encounter this kind of snake on the grassland. The long whip in their hand can hit the snake accurately. And some people also say that if they encounter a snake chasing someone, they will leave the grass and run to a place with a lot of gravel.
The snake was afraid that the sharp stone would cut its belly, so it didn't dare to chase it. Whether this trick is effective or not remains to be verified. But at this time, this "pheasant neck" that was half the shoulder length of an adult was staring at the two little ones.
The "Swordsman".
The hills and ridges were unaware of the danger behind them. The "Pheasant Neck" raised its dazzlingly beautiful neck higher, which was a prelude to attack...
…………
Twenty minutes later, the people on horseback and motorcycles returned on time. Everyone was silent and knew that they had not found it without asking.
People don't dismount, the car doesn't turn off, and it's ready to go at any time.
Dong Jing was already limp, Hongxia, Hehua and others quickly hugged her.
Maala Tancang stood up and said: Call Shen Fu again!
Dong Jing couldn't make the call, so Hongxia took out her mobile phone from her pocket and dialed Shen Fu's number.
Shen Fu's cell phone rang, but he couldn't hear it as he was running wildly on horseback.
…………
"Pheasant Neck" spit out a long tongue, as if swallowing saliva.
At this critical moment, the two unsuspecting little "swordsmen" heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front - data da, da da da...
The horse ran very fast, and the rider kept whipping him with his whip. His hooves were flying and dust was being kicked up.
After all, the hill was bigger, so I had some foresight, so I pulled my brother and hid on the left side of the road.
After all, these two children were still young and did not understand the traffic rules of the right side. It was precisely this unconventional ducking that temporarily avoided the danger in the grass on the right side.
Coincidentally, it was Shen Fu, Xiaoshan and Xiaoling's father, who came galloping over on horseback.
Shen Fu saw at a glance that the two children in front of him were his sons, and he finally felt relieved. He quickly reined in the reins and asked the horse to slow down.
The shepherd had sharp eyes. Suddenly, Shen Fu saw the snake head standing up in the grass! This guy started to turn, preparing to cross the road and attack the child!
Shen Fu's heart was lifted again after he had just put it down. He clamped his legs together and knocked the horse's belly with his heels. This was an order to speed up!
The horse that was just about to slow down might have been blinded. Why did the owner want to run again? Execute the order, compete with all four hooves, and rush out at the same speed. At this moment, Shen Fu had already lifted the reins with his right hand and changed the whip to
With the left hand, only ten feet away from the "Pheasant's Neck", he began to lean forward and lower, and raised the whip high. After completing this whole set of actions, he had already arrived in front of the "Pheasant's Neck"!
"Pah——"
Shen Fu concentrated all his strength on his left arm and whipped him hard! There was anxiety and anger, and the force of this whip was enough to break the handle of a shovel!
Once the "enemy" was provoked, it was perfect. The "pheasant neck" was knocked to the ground and almost broken into two pieces.
Tightening the reins, the horse buffered forward for a while before stopping. Shen Fu jumped off the horse, turned around and ran over. Only then did Xiao Shan and Xiao Ling see clearly that the person coming was their father.
Shen Fu didn't say anything to the two children. He first took out his mobile phone and called Dong Jing, telling him that he had already seen the children, not a hair was missing, and would go back immediately.
Dong Jing was surprised and happy, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No one had any intention of leaving. They all gathered together and waited for the father and son to return to Sarentai and see with their own eyes that the two children were safe and sound.
Xiaoshan and Xiaoling were a little dumbfounded. They watched motionlessly as their father picked up the dead snake with a stick and found a pit to bury it.
Shen Fu picked up Xiao Shan and Xiao Ling on his horse, and the three of them rode back to Sarentai Gacha. During this period, Xiao Shan and Xiao Ling did not dare to say a word, and Shen Fu did not speak either.
When the three of them returned to Gacha, everyone came up to greet them one after another, expressing their worries and joy. Dong Jing started crying while holding the two children, unable to say a word, and her raised palm fell on the children. It doesn’t hurt…
Shen Fu thanked everyone for their concern and help, and explained what happened to the child he met on the road and beat him to death with a "pheasant neck".
People were sighing and feeling very scared. They even said that it was a coincidence that Shen Fu arrived in time. If he was one step late, the consequences would be disastrous.
…………
Another morning came to the grassland.
The sun has not yet woken up, and Bai Aginai and Matoya have already woken up. The grassland at this time is quiet, the grasshoppers have been chirping all night, and they have begun a short rest. The cattle, horses, sheep, etc. are also taking the last breath before sunrise. In the cool moment, I took a nice nap and had a long-lasting "returning sleep". The big black dog "Hari" who had been working the night shift relaxed his vigilance, his upper and lower eyelids fought from time to time, and occasionally his mouth clapped to the ground when he lowered his head. Okay, this is where I got excited...
Toya and Asgen are going back to their home in Sarentai. There is not much they need to do here, but the elderly at home need to be taken care of. In the past few days, Toya has cleaned the yurt inside and out. Fold Aginai's change of clothes neatly in order.
Toya and Aginai got up very early in order to get home before dark.
Ajnai drove the sheep that had not slept well to the nearby hillside, leaving the sleepy-eyed Hari to look after him. He returned to the yurt and started packing the car kit. Before that, he had already taken time to help. The carriage was built on a sturdy frame and covered with a sheet to protect it from the sun. Asgen was very satisfied with the transformation and thought it was similar to the carriage the emperor rode on TV.
Looking in from the yurt door, Toya is preparing breakfast.
The big yellow dog "Xiri" seemed to know that he was going home and looked very honest. He looked at Aginai silently and lay there motionless.
Asgen's beloved grasshopper cages hang outside the yurt. There are three in total, and two of them contain "gifts" that he personally caught for Xiaoshan and Xiaoling. In fact, the grasshoppers that Asgenai made for Asgen There are many cages, some of them were eliminated by Aginai because he was dissatisfied, some of them were thrown away by Toya because they looked awkward, and some of them were secretly thrown away by Asgen himself because he didn't like them. The rest are Three, carefully selected, are the "masterpieces" of Aguinai who first tried his skills after learning the art.
