Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 493 Spirit Snake Protector

  The bird that was chirping just now disappeared in an instant.

  Where did the bird go? Xu Haiyuan and Han Zhenwen were shocked, what's going on?

   At this time, Xu Chenghou also came over. He was not far away and saw that scene just now.

   "Stand back, stay a little farther away."

  Xu Chenghou directly took off the gun and raised it, telling the children to get behind him.

  The children backed away as promised, straight to Xu Chenghou's side, still staring at the half-green and half-red ginseng seed.

   And at this moment, a chipmunk rushed over from the nearby tree.

   Probably also saw the ginseng seed, hovering nearby.

   I saw the chipmunk nimbly climbing up a small tree as thick as an egg next to the ginseng.

  When it climbed to the height of a ginseng hammer, the two claws on the back grabbed the small tree and leaned out to eat ginseng seeds.

  Suddenly, the black shadow struck again like lightning, and the chipmunk squeaked, and immediately disappeared.

   The birds and chipmunks disappeared one after another, leaving Xu Chenghou and the others dumbfounded, but at this moment, the rascal raised his head and bared his teeth in the air.

  Xu Haiyuan looked in the direction where Lai Pigui bared his teeth, whoops, a "trunk" as thick as an arm can move.

   "It's a string of money, so big."

   Xu Haiyuan looked carefully, and finally realized that it was a big snake.

   Half of the body is coiled on the big branch above the ginseng, and the half of the body sticks out like a dead branch, which is difficult to be found.

  When a small animal such as a bird or a chipmunk wants to eat ginseng seeds, it will launch a surprise attack and eat the small animal directly.

  This is what the mountain people often say, the story of the spirit snake protecting ginseng.

  In fact, the snake is not to protect the ginseng, but to wait for the opportunity to prey on the birds and small animals that come to devour the ginseng seeds.

   It is estimated that Lai Pigui discovered the snake just now, so he bared his teeth to warn.

  However, at this moment, Xu Chenghou and the others were in a difficult situation. They couldn't take the mallet right in front of them.

  The snake was entangled in the tree and refused to leave. Xu Chenghou and his four children dared not act rashly.

  If it is not done well, the children will be hurt.

  If that's the case, it's better not to use this ginseng.

  Xu Chenghou was in a dilemma, he didn't know what to do, don't want this ginseng, and take the children out?

   It seems a little reconciled, that ginseng tree seems to be quite big, if it doesn't make trouble, it will be a treasure.

  They are not short of money now, but old wild ginseng is getting less and less, and they are all of great use. It is good to save them for Chu Xuanhuai to make medicine.

   "Brother Jianguo, Brother Shuqing, you two go back with Lai Pigui, come with my master and Uncle Zhao.

  I reckon that Uncle Zhao has something to put on the mountain, so let him bring it with him. Don't yell loudly, talk to them in a low voice. "

  Xu Haiyuan was clever and immediately thought of an idea.

   Lai Pigui knows the way, let it lead, Yang Jianguo and Huang Shuqing will not get lost.

  Go back and bring in rescuers. If there are more people, it will be easier to handle. This snake can scare it away no matter what.

   "Yes, yes, the two of you will go find someone to rescue the soldiers." Xu Chenghou was right when he heard it, and the grandson's arrangement was quite reasonable.

   Not to mention, the rascal is really clever.

  Xu Haiyuan only patted it on the head and told it to lead the way to find someone, but the rascal turned around and ran away.

  Huang Shuqing and Yang Jianguo hurriedly followed and ran back.

  Here, Xu Chenghou protected the two children and took a few steps back, putting away the gun.

   Guns are useless against snakes. Xu Chenghou's marksmanship doesn't dare to say that a single shot can blow the snake's head off.

  So I simply put it away, took out the pipe and pot from my pocket, put a bag of cigarettes on it, and started smoking.

  Xu Chenghou smoked heavily on purpose, blowing the smoke in the direction of the snake on purpose.

   Sure enough, the big snake that stretched its body just now and threatened people with a message, after taking a few puffs of smoke, retracted its body and coiled itself on the tree.

   I can see it, it is a little afraid of smoke, but it is not reconciled, so it doesn't want to go.

  Xu Chenghou wasn't in a hurry, as long as the snake didn't move and didn't attack the child.

   Just like that, a snake was on the tree, and a child and a child were on the ground, forming a confrontational situation, and no one would give way.

  There are a lot of mosquitoes in this forest. If a person moves, he is almost bitten. If a person stops, it will really be black and straight up.

  Xu Haiyuan remembered the incense his master had given him, so he quickly took it out and lit it.

  Cigarettes curled up, with a little medicinal and floral fragrance, lingering around the three of them.

   It's also strange, those mosquitoes flew away as if they had met their nemesis.

  A gust of wind blew by, and the cigarette drifted along the wind towards the big snake on the tree.

   I don’t know if the snake was incensed or what happened, but it stopped coiling on the tree, and slid down the big tree in a flash, disappearing in an instant.

  Xu Chenghou breathed a sigh of relief, who would have thought that the incense given by Chu Xuanhuai could scare the snake away.

  However, they didn't dare to be careless, for fear that the snake was still hiding in the nearby grass.

  Xu Chenghou hurried to get some branches, repaired a few times to make a stick, and got some cigarette oil from the pipe pot, and rubbed it on the top of the stick.

   Then he took the stick and beat the surrounding grass and tree trunks.

  After beating for a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of the big snake again, Xu Chenghou felt relieved and came to the clump of wormwood.

  In fact, ginseng is not as unique as it is said in the legend. It is not the case that there is no grass around the big stick.

  Xu Chenghou pushed the grass aside to reveal the ginseng tree in the middle, and carefully counted the leaves below, and it turned out that there were six leaves.

   In other words, they met a six-leaf tree.

   "This rambunctious ghost is really good. It can still find sticks. If we take it back into the mountains, can we make a fortune just by digging sticks?"

  Xu Chenghou really didn’t let go of the mountain, and besides, he came to watch the children work today, so he didn’t expect to meet the mountain ginseng, so he didn’t prepare any hammer lock at all. What should I do?

   Han Zhenwen was clever enough, and suddenly remembered that the belt around his waist was red.

  Han Zhenwen is thirteen years old this year. According to the local custom, this is called the genus year.

  Adults are called Benmingnian, and thirteen-year-old children are called Benmingnian.

  In this year, you must wear red pants and red socks. If you don’t have any, you can wear a red belt.

  The red belt is actually a piece of red cloth, which goes directly through the nose of the trousers, just tie it on.

  It is impossible to wear red pants and red socks every day, but the red belt is always tied around the waist.

  Han Zhenwen gritted his teeth, untied the red belt and pulled it off, tore a small strand of red cloth from the top, went forward, and tied it to the mallet.

  There are green leaves all around, and the bright red cloth strips are particularly conspicuous. Now, I won’t be afraid of being blinded by the mallet.

  At this time, Lai Pigui led Zhao Jianguo and Chu Xuanhuai back here.

  As soon as Chu Xuanhuai saw Xu Chenghou, he asked, "Old Xu, what about the long worm?"

   "Let's go, you made the incense that smoked the worms, and smoked the long worms away."

  Xu Chenghou laughed when he saw Chu Xuanhuai. No one thought that the incense that is good for fuming mosquitoes and blind midges would also be effective against long insects.

   "Come and see, here is a tree with six leaves."
