Chapter 254 Passing the Mountain Wind
After lunch, everyone had a long meal in the yard.
Because Zhang and his party have not been here for many years, many elderly people came over to say hello when they saw it.
This group of elderly people were chatting in the yard of Zhang An's house.
Seeing that the conditions in the village are slowly getting better, Zhang and his party couldn't help but sigh.
These people are all people who have experienced the hard times, and they started to reminisce about the past without saying a few words.
As a young man, Zhang An could only listen on the sidelines and serve tea and water to these uncles and grandfathers from time to time.
After chatting for a long time, the crowd gathered in Zhang An’s yard gradually dispersed.
"Xiao An, I plan to go and have a look in the bamboo forest."
After everyone left in the afternoon, Zhang and his party said to Zhang An.
"Daddy, those houses in the bamboo forest are definitely uninhabitable, so you can live here with peace of mind."
Zhang and his party have been away for more than ten years, and they haven't come back very often.
The Taoist temple on Zizhulin Mountain was originally a few thatched houses made of wood.
Even if some of the walls were rammed earth walls at that time, after so many years, they definitely cannot be used to live in.
“I’m not thinking about going back to live there now, but I still want to see the situation there.”
No matter what kind of house, as long as no one lives in it, it will naturally age and damage very quickly. .
Not to mention those mud huts, Zhang and his party knew without even thinking that they must be in terrible condition.
When he came back this time, he originally planned to come back and take a look at his master.
But after I came back, I looked at the current Changqing Village and the mountains that were different from before.
The wandering thoughts of the past few years have slowly dissipated, replaced by the longing for the fallen leaves to return to their roots.
Taoism has always emphasized inaction and following the heart, so Zhang Yixing respected his heart yesterday and would not go out again, so he settled down in the village.
So even if you know that the Taoist temple is in terrible condition, you still have to go and take a look at the situation.
The renovation can be arranged early by then. After all, he will not live in Zhang An's house forever.
"Okay, then I'll go with you."
Zhang An carried a hoe from home, and then followed Zhang and his party to the bamboo forest.
Su Ying did not follow this time. She and Wang Fang wanted to stay at home with Grandma Zhang An.
Even though the little ones have grown up, every time Zhang An goes out, the little tigers still follow him.
Along the way, Xiaohu walked in front, followed by Zhang An and Zhang.
"Xiao An, what kind of dog is your dog? I always feel that there are some shadows of the green wolf, but not quite like it."
Looking at the calf-like tiger cub in front, Zhang Yixing could tell at a glance that Zhang An's dog was no ordinary dog.
"I don't know much about this, but I suspect it is the skewer of a wolf."
Then Zhang An told Zhang and his party the origin of the little tiger, including the encounter with the wolves when he went into the mountains.
This is the first time Zhang An has told others about Xiaohu and his brothers.
"No wonder, I said there are some shadows of green wolves on them, but even green wolves shouldn't grow so big."
Although I haven't been here for more than ten years. village, but when he didn't go out, he often wandered in the mountains.
At that time, there were many more green wolves in the mountains than now, and Zhang and his party had seen them quite a few times.
The little tiger in front of me is obviously bigger than the green wolf in the mountains.
"It is indeed bigger. It may be due to some genetic mutation due to the string."
Of course Zhang An knows why the little tigers grew so big, because at that time Zhang An Provide them with space spring water to drink every day.
From time to time, the three brothers are brought into space.
As time goes by and the number of times increases, Xiaohu and the others will slowly be affected by space, and it is normal for some mutations to occur.
"You are right. Although the bloodlines of wolves and dogs are unstable, maybe the tiger cubs are lucky, and the inheritance and mutation are in good directions."
Although Zhang Yixing I have never taken a biology class, but I can still understand something about this aspect.
In fact, Xiaohu’s best luck came from meeting Zhang An, not from blood inheritance.
After all, of the three brothers at that time, he was the only one who was about to die, which was not really a benefit.
If I hadn’t met Zhang An, I wouldn’t even be able to find the bones now.
The two of them and the dog walked for more than half an hour. After passing through the purple bamboo forest, they came to the mountain behind the bamboo forest.
The original Taoist temple was built on a cliff, with the foot of the mountain in front.
Below is a large sea of bamboo and woods, and behind it is a path up the mountain.
Beside the mountain road, there are several acres of mountain land that Zhang and his party opened up in the past.
Entering the yard, the place has become overgrown with weeds, and the fluffy grass has grown very tall.
The few mud huts are no longer in shape, the roofs have become tattered, and a lot of weeds have grown on the walls.
No one has been here for more than ten years, so this situation is considered normal.
Although the door into the house looked a bit rotten, Zhang An pushed it and it was quite strong.
At this time, Zhang Yi walked to the side of the house and stood on a stone pier.
Then he reached under the eaves and took out a bamboo tube.
Looking at the appearance of this bamboo tube, Zhang An felt that it must have been treated, otherwise it would not have been left for so many years without rotting.
When Zhang and his party pulled out the stopper and turned it over, a strong smell of kerosene hit their nostrils.
Not much kerosene dripped out, the bamboo tube was empty, and a key appeared in Zhang Yixing's hand.
I think Zhang Yi used kerosene to keep the key inside when he was walking.
However, because it took too long, the kerosene slowly evaporated, leaving only a few drops.
After opening the door and entering the house, there were weeds growing on the ground inside the house.
There are also several holes in the roof, and straight sunlight shines down from above.
The wall next to it is full of large spider webs, and many black widows can be seen preying on them.
“Ouch~Ouch!”
Suddenly, Xiaohu roared into the room, warning Zhang An.
"Godfather, don't go in yet, there is something inside."
Hearing Xiaohu's reminder, Zhang An quickly pulled Zhang Yixin who was about to go in.
Then the two picked up a long bamboo and slapped the weeds that grew very lush in the house.
Suddenly there was a noise in the house, and a dark shadow was seen passing through the weeds.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Zhang An was already sure that the guy inside should be a black snake.
Originally Zhang An thought it was going to run away, but he didn't expect that after a few steps, the guy rushed towards the door where Zhang An was.
“It’s a large mountain wind, let’s go out first.”
At this time, Zhang An could see clearly that this was a giant mountain wind covered in black and wearing a silver garland. .
Looking at the passing mountain wind, Zhang An quickly pulled Zhang and his party back to the yard.
This guy is not only ferocious in temperament and quick in movement, but also very poisonous.
The yard is spacious and can better deal with this guy. Only when this guy chased him into the yard did Zhang An finally get a full view of it.
The big guy in front of me looks as thick as Zhang An’s forearm, and its length is estimated to be no less than two meters.
At this time, the passing mountain wind lifted its proud snake head and stood upright, almost as tall as a child, with the rest of its body coiled irregularly on the ground.
The originally thick snake head and neck have now opened up and become very wide.
Looking at the bamboo pole in Zhang An's hand, it stood at the door and did not come over, staring at Zhang An and Zhang's party.
At the same time, he still opened his bloody mouth, revealing two pointed fangs.
Guoshanfeng is one of the smarter snakes. While watching the enemy, it turns its palm-width snake head to scout around.
It seemed that as long as Zhang An didn't pay attention, it would pounce on him immediately.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zhang An and Zhang and his party had something in their hands, it would have pounced on them long ago.
If there are other venomous snakes, such as those with green bamboo leaves and small silver rings, they will only hide in the dark and quietly give you a bite.
But it can't cross mountain peaks, especially this big guy that grows to two or three meters long. It will chase people when it sees them.
Even the calves and sheep on one side are on its menu, which can be said to be very ferocious.
Under its fixed gaze, Zhang An, Zhang and his party ran away without turning around.
In such a bamboo forest, no one can outrun it, even on a downhill road.
If you turn around and run down the mountain, you may be caught up by it in a short time and give you a mouthful and two injections from behind.
Zhang An held the long pole in his hand and kept in a stalemate with it for a long time without moving much.
Suddenly, when he saw it turning the snake's head, Zhang An caught a chance.
Suddenly it rose up and quickly swung the long pole in its hand towards its wide snake head.
“咻~”
The finger-thick bamboo pole was pulled out by Zhang An and made a sonic boom.
If it were someone else, he might have been dodged by it when he swung the long pole.
Maybe this guy will hit the snake with a stick and come along the pole to attack.
That is to say, Zhang An was very strong and moved quickly. He aimed at its seven inches and shot it.
He just slapped this big guy on the ground and rolled around. It can be seen that it is very uncomfortable now.
As the old saying goes, when you hit a snake, it takes seven inches to hit it. Even if the king cobra is a mountain breeze, these seven inches are its weakness.
Looking at the mountain wind that was rolling around and could no longer stand upright.
Zhang An showed no mercy, and then swung his long pole and whipped him away.
It’s okay if you haven’t met such a big guy. If you meet him today, naturally you can’t keep him, otherwise he will be a threat to everyone.
Maybe it was because Zhang An couldn't bear the whipping. This guy opened his big mouth and spit venom at Zhang An.
This guy is indeed a big man, these two poisonous lines spray very far.
Just a little bit, the venom can be sprayed on Zhang An.
While Zhang An was fighting the enemy with a long pole, Xiao Hu bared his teeth and wanted to join the battlefield.
But Zhang An called it back. He didn't want the little tiger to pounce on it and get two injections from this big guy.
After Zhang An's beating, Guashanfeng, who was extremely fierce just now, was lying on the ground, leaving only a slight waving of his tail.
Even after seeing this, Zhang An did not immediately go to check.
If this guy is cheating his own life, then giving him a bite later will be more of a loss than a gain.
Finally, I used the bamboo pole in my hand to poke it back and forth several times to confirm that it no longer had the ability to explode again.
Zhang Ancai pressed his hoe against its head and slowly approached.
Zhang An didn’t feel relieved until he held it in his hand.
Even if this guy is still alive now, Zhang An is not worried at all.
Because with his strength, Guo Shanfeng, whose head was pinched by the snake, could not move at all.
“Finally we have solved it. It seems that it took over this place when my godfather was away.”
This guy Zhang Anti found something heavy in his hand, and it was all. It’s almost time to catch up with the cauliflower snake we caught last time.
"It's normal. It's in the bamboo forest, so it's not surprising that they can get in without anyone. Fortunately, you came with us today, otherwise it would be difficult for me to deal with this thing."
Looking at Zhang Zhang and his party were still a little frightened by the long mountain wind in An's hand.
When he first entered the house, he heard no movement at all.
If it weren’t for Xiaohu’s warning, he would have walked directly inside.
If this guy had taken a bite, he would probably be dead before he was sent to the hospital.
"But Xiao An, you are very powerful. Not to mention it, even a human couldn't bear the blow just now."
Although Zhang An waved his initiative under his nose just now, , but he didn't see it clearly at all, he only saw shadows going back and forth.
This is not just something you can do with great strength, you also have to be able to master it.
With this guy's warning, Zhang An and Zhang and his entourage were very alert after entering the house.
It’s impossible not to be alert. If another one comes out, it will be very difficult.
Although Zhang An seemed to have easily wiped out this big guy just now, in fact Zhang An was not easy at all.
His arms are not feeling well now due to excessive exertion.
Fortunately, after checking, there were no other accidents.
"Let's go back. I didn't expect it to be so rotten."
After looking around the house to get a general understanding of the situation, Zhang Yi Xing and Zhang An also prepared to go down the mountain.
Originally, Zhang Yixing was thinking that if the house was not badly damaged, he would hire someone to renovate it.
But after looking around, not only was the roof rotten, but several walls also had large cracks.
It has deteriorated to such an extent that it is no longer worth hiring someone to renovate.
"If it's rotten, let it rot. It just so happens that they are all demolished and new houses built."
Although Zhang An did not see it with his own eyes, he learned about it from the mouths of the elderly in the village.
The age of these houses is no younger than those of their old men.
It’s pretty good that such an old house can survive to this day.
Going down the mountain from the purple bamboo forest to the river bank, the giant mountain wind in Zhang An’s hand immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“Hiss, Zhang An, this is a mountain crossing, are you going to die?”
“Such a long mountain crossing, at least five pounds.”
. . .
Although you have not seen him a few times, younger people may not recognize him.
But some adults are not unfamiliar with this stuff.
"Hmm, it's the mountain breeze. He was alive just now, but now he's dead."
As soon as he heard the mountain breeze, everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.
