Chapter 26 Slaying the Dragon, Binding the Tiger and Eliminating the Three Pests 2
Fourth Master Deng took a sip of wine and smacked it in his mouth for a long time. Then he swallowed it reluctantly and said: "To get rid of that four-legged snake, it is absolutely impossible to fight with an enemy. Twenty years ago, the four of us
The old gunner's fate is right in front of him. Of course, if the captain invites guns and cannons, the ten mountain gods will also
Got it. The problem is, the captain is planning to lead our group of people to do it quietly, so obviously the only way to do it is to outwit him." Old Dengtou took a sip of half a sip, and his instinct that he had suppressed for decades finally came to light.
He came out and kept shaking his head, and in the end, he talked nonsense before getting to the point.
Han Donglin couldn't see Fourth Master Deng being so complacent. At that moment, he was about to yell out, but Xue Xiang glared back.
It was refreshing. Xue Xiang opened another bottle of Yanghe and stood up to fill it up with Fourth Master Deng.
, said with a smile: "Old Mr. Deng, tell me the truth, be more polite, and if you try to trick me, you won't get a share of this wine." Hearing this, Fourth Master Deng was startled, and hurriedly brought the wine bowl in front of him, and took it.
He protected his elbows, fearing that Xue Xiang would take back the bowl of wine, but he said no more nonsense: "Captain
, there is a foreplay when telling a story, don’t worry, I will continue. In 1963, after Captain Li and I encountered that beast in Tianzi Port, I became suspicious. Because in those five years,
I have never let go of the matter of revenge for the old swordsman, Ma Sanye, and Wang Sanpao.
I was curious about all the animals' whereabouts. After that night, I also went to the other side to check. Captain Li was looking at the rice fields, but I, an old gun, searched along the animal's indentations, and finally cut off the animal in a wild poppy forest.
There are traces of it, so it is expected that this poppy forest is the end point of the beast's descent to Taurus Mountain."
"Poppy? Could it be something used to make opium! No, crazy old Deng and Laosi, this stuff has been banned for a long time. How can it be found around Jinniu Mountain? Besides, what is that beast doing in the poppy forest?" Lao Jiang listened.
When I found a strange place, I opened it... It is true that opium is so harmful that the older generation hates it deeply.
Fourth Master Deng said: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. The poppy forest grows on the back of a slope. Besides, the place is inaccessible. It's still a mile away from Tianzi Port. That beast has made weird noises several times."
After that, the hundred acres of fields behind Tianzi Port were also deserted and no one dared to take care of it. Therefore, the poppy forest was even harder to find. Besides, it was a three-flowered poppy and not an ordinary poppy, not an old mountain guest or an old drug.
Who knows it?"
After Fourth Master Deng answered Lao Jiang's question, he continued: "I saw a large gap in the poppy forest at that time. I guessed that it must have been eaten by the beast, but I didn't dare to say for sure.
That day, I found a soil slope a hundred meters away from the poppy forest, dug a deep pit, and covered my body with rolan juice that masked the smell. As soon as it got dark, I lay down in the pit and covered it with branches.
I got up and waited for the beast to arrive so that I could have a closer look. Who would have thought that after waiting all night, the sun was so high that there was still no trace of the beast. But I still didn’t give up and went home to drink.
I ate two mouthfuls of porridge, and then lurked on the spot again the next day. Unexpectedly, the beast still didn’t come, and for six days, the beast never showed up again. I was so desperate that I almost gave up, and thought to myself, if I wait another day, I won’t kill him.
It turns out that that night, as soon as the moon disappeared, I heard a whooshing sound from the northwest. Looking up, the trees in the distance kept falling to both sides, and the beast had arrived..."
There was a "yeah" sound and another "pop" sound, and the bowl in Xiao Sun's hand fell to the ground and fell into pieces. It turned out that the young man had been worried when he heard Han Donglin tell the story about the python swallowing the wild boar. At this moment, he was struck by Deng Si again.
As my grandfather's story entered his mind, he felt that the terrifying python seemed to suddenly appear beside him. He was so frightened that he threw the bowl away.
A bowl was broken, and the young man's face turned red immediately. He had not blushed before when he drank. Now, with the haze, he looked very embarrassed. Xue Xiang smiled and asked Lao Jiang to get another bowl for Xiao Sun. When Xiao Sun heard this, what
Lao Jiang, who dared to work hard, rushed to the dining hall and brought a bowl, broom and dustpan to remove all the broken porcelain pieces.
At this time, the little guy ran in dragging an empty bowl, saying that the chicken was not enough, and asked his elder brother to fill the bowl. It turned out that the little guy went out with the bowl of chicken, and all the kids were dumbfounded and stared at it.
The red and fat chicken will make your mouth water.
It turns out that although each family of these children raised chickens, there were only about a dozen of them, and they were all used to survive. No one was willing to kill them. The eggs they laid had to be sold at the supply and marketing cooperative in exchange for needles, thread, and brains: or there were some.
Relatives and friends during confinement period, visiting guests, and giving gifts do not all rely on the eggs produced by these chickens: even if the chickens are old and no longer lay eggs, they still have to be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative. Who is willing to eat meat?
Some of the babies had never eaten chicken since they were born, so how could they not be surprised when they saw it? The little guy had originally planned to share it with the other babies, but now that the babies were jealous, they immediately shared a piece with me.
It was all gone, but she didn't have a piece left. The dolls who were given the chicken were not willing to swallow it in one bite, holding the piece of meat and eating it again and again.
n, just now I carefully chewed it up bit by bit and swallowed it. The little guy couldn't bear to see it. He just felt that these capable playmates were less happy than himself, and they were all slandered like this.
If this doesn't work, I have to get a bowl and explain the slander to them. Just like that, after a while, the little guy dragged the empty bowl back and killed him again.
Fortunately, at noon today, Lao Jiang slaughtered four big roosters and cooked a big pot. Otherwise, he would really not be able to cope with these non-staff diners. At this moment, Xue Xiang could not guess that the little guy's current position is
The captain of the transportation team immediately called Xiao Sun, who was about to carry the dustpan out, and brought a sea bowl over.
Come. After a few breaths, the little grandson ran in with the bowl in his arms. Xue Xiang took it, filled the little guy with a big bowl full of yams and chicken, and was about to ask Kang Tong to give it to her. The little guy
I went to get a towel, wrapped the bowl, took it, and went there by myself, twisting and turning carefully with my little body.
After getting rid of the annoying spirit, Xue Xiang greeted Fourth Master Deng and continued. Fourth Master Deng was chewing a piece of chicken wing hard. Hearing this, he threw the chicken wing into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
He felt it in his stomach and continued: "You said evil is not evil, but there was almost no one that night.
I was frightened to death. The beast made a circle from the northwest and circled behind me. At that time, I thought I had been discovered, and I was so frightened that my heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately, the beast was very fast, and it struck three times in two directions.
Then he dragged his fat body and ran over the tree branch above me. Otherwise, he would have died of fright.
He had to be crushed to death. When the beast arrived at the edge of the poppy forest, he first raised his head and probed into the forest, as if smelling the smell. After half a pack of cigarettes, he opened his mouth and started eating. After eating, the beast
The animal was so excited that it swung its tail and began to beat the earth and rocks on the ground and the trees nearby, and immediately walked away.
Stones were flying and sand was flying, trees were broken, and even though I was a hundred meters away from the poppy forest, I was still hit by a lot of stones and broken branches, which made me hurt. After the beast went crazy, he didn't stop, dragging himself, and whizzing.
It went in a whoosh. Fortunately, this time, it didn't pass me, but ran directly to Tianzi Port."
"Third Master, if I ask you to tell me how to kill a snake, you are going to tell the truth again." Li Yongjun has long lost his curiosity about the mountain god. He originally wanted to hear Deng Hui's method of killing a snake, but he had opened his ears.
Knowing that the old man was chattering about his adventures, he immediately asked dissatisfiedly.
Fourth Master Deng glared at Li Yongjun and said, "Aren't I just introducing ways to deal with that snake? If I don't know where the weaknesses, habits, and tips come from, what's the hurry?" The old man is afraid of everyone in the village, but he is not afraid.
This is Vice Captain Li whose life he saved.
Xue Xiang waved his hand to stop Fourth Master Deng and asked Li Yongjun not to interrupt, but he did have some clues.
Fourth Master Deng leaned back and drank the wine, then continued: "I slept in that pit for several months, and finally I got rid of the beast's habits. It turned out that the beast came to the poppy forest every seven days.
After eating, you will either go crazy or want to
Then I fell into a deep sleep. This time, I touched its cover, which was its weak point. Think about it, if a mountain god sleeps like a dead pig, who would be afraid of it? Let alone an old gun.
, even a novice can do it.”
"That's not right, Fourth Master Deng, since you made it so easy, why didn't you kill the mountain god yourself in the first place?" Han Donglin asked.
Fourth Master Deng said: "Listen to me, how can that mountain god be so easy to deal with? I said it was fast asleep, but I didn't mean that it fell asleep next to the poppy forest. The beast's alertness was astonishingly high.
, It will only sleep under its old lair, the Duanshui Cliff., , Speaking of this, Fourth Master Deng waved his hand: "Don't ask me how I know where that beast sleeps, I won't ask myself."
Everyone smiled knowingly, and Fourth Master Deng continued: "I have wanted that beast's life for more than a year or two. After I discovered that it had the habit of eating poppies, I felt that I had grasped the trick, and there was no way I would let him go."
.
From then on, I never left my body, following the animal's indentations. It took me more than half a year to finally find the animal's lair under the Duanshui Cliff." At this point, Fourth Master Deng stopped and looked up.
He picked up his neck, poured most of the bowl of wine down, drank it, and said: "Now, it's time to talk about the specific method of getting rid of the snake. One word: fishing!"
"Fishing!" Fourth Master Deng said something dramatic, and everyone was shocked.
"Deng Laosi, you drank too much yellow soup and went drunk. Let's not talk about how long and heavy that thing is. You think it's fishing. Where can you find such a long pole and such a thick hook?"
Lao Jiang took the lead in attacking and asked everyone's thoughts.
Fourth Master Deng smiled profoundly and said: "Listen to me! This is what I think. It is better to fight an ambush in its lair than to fight an encounter elsewhere. The fishing method is the best! The purpose of the poppy mentioned earlier is
What, haven't you prepared some scented bait?
Don't be surprised. This method cannot be done by me alone. That's why I said it beforehand, if the members of Shantun Village could listen to me, I would have killed that beast long ago. Doesn't that mean it's not easy to catch that big snake?
I can't do it alone.
Right now, if the captain supports it, it’s not a matter of holding it in hand.”
After saying that, Fourth Master Deng looked at Xue Xiang. Xue Xiang said with a smile: "Support, support, how could I not support? Mr. Deng, please tell me the specific steps, I seem to have heard some tips."!
