It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

Chapter 251 Group of Snakes

After Juzi stood up, she lowered her head and kept anxiously nudging Ning Jian with her mouth, asking him to get up quickly.

Ning Yan was a little confused when he saw this, but he still picked up Huo Yun and stood up.

Huo Yu strode out with a torch in his hand, and Ning Yu followed him.

Most of the people in the cave were awakened by the sound of the cows and sat up.

Village Chief Wang asked, "What happened, kid?"

"Dad, I'll go take a look." Wang Shanjun stood up and said sleepily.

Sun Huzi and Duan Zhili, who were guarding the cave entrance, didn't know what was going on. When they saw Huo? coming, they stood up.

Huo? walked out of the cave. It was still drizzling outside. From time to time, a dripping sound could be heard from the mountains. It was the sound of water droplets falling on the ground.

In addition, he could also clearly hear the sounds coming from all directions, getting closer and closer to their cave entrance.

There was a rustling sound on the ground, like the sound of fallen leaves in the wind.

He bent down slightly with the torch and shone it on the ground in front of him.

"Brother Huo, snakes, so many snakes." Ning Yu exclaimed.

There were so many snakes, long and short, big and small, crawling towards Shandong, which made people's scalps tingle.

Duan Zhili and Sun Huzi, who were following behind, were also frightened and broke out in cold sweats. There were so many snakes, many of which were poisonous. If they all crawled into the cave, they might die.

Seeing this, Huo Yu immediately handed the torch in his hand to Xu and instructed, "Take your men and guard the cave entrance. Hold on for a while. I'll be back soon."

If his guess was correct, the sound they just heard should be someone controlling the snake group. The most direct way is to control this person, otherwise these snakes cannot be killed by just beating them.

"Sure." Ning Yu nodded seriously.

Seeing Huo disappear in the blink of an eye, Sun Huzi and Duan Zhili were a little surprised. They only knew that Huo knew some Kung Fu, but they never knew that Huo was so good at it. He was really a hidden talent.

The people in the cave had heard Ning Yu's shouting and were so scared that they stood up quickly. Then Village Chief Wang asked the women, boys and children to stay in the cave, and he took the men with sickles and hoes and went to the cave entrance or outside.

There is no better way now, we can only cut them down one by one.

Huo? quickly shuttled through the woods and headed towards the source of the sound.

After a while, he saw the man standing under the tree.

The dagger in his hand was thrown out, and the man screamed, and blood instantly came out of his arm. A jade artifact in his hand that looked like a bamboo, with long fingers and thin little fingers, also fell to the ground.

Huo Yu leaped down from the tree, placed the knife in his hand directly on his neck, and said coldly, "Drive away all the snakes, or I will kill you."

The man was already panicking after being stabbed in the arm, and now Huo appeared in front of him without him noticing, making him even more terrified.

He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please spare my life, please spare my life, I will only lure the snakes out of their holes, not let them retreat back."

Huo? Without saying a word, he stabbed him again on the wound, causing the man to scream in pain again.

"I, I also do this for money. I told that person that I don't know how to drive away snakes. He said that as long as the snakes scare the people out of the cave, he will deal with it later." The man said with a pale face.

Then he asked again: "Are you the one from the cave?"

He thought they were all from the village. If he had known this person was so capable, he would never have taken the job.

Scare people out? Huo Yu didn't believe it. Some of those snakes had triangular heads, which were simply evil. If you were bitten by a snake, you would die if you didn't get medical treatment in time.

"In that case, where are those people? Lead the snake in their direction. I don't have much patience, so don't try any tricks." Huo said coldly, pointing the knife in his hand at him.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there right away. I'll be there right away." The man said hurriedly.

But money is more important than life, so he can only do as Huo Xi says.

Then he added, "But I'm going to follow the road in their direction."

It was too far away for the snakes to hear him, and he had no way of controlling them.

"Let's go." Huo said directly.

Upon hearing this, the man picked up the jade artifact that had fallen on the grass, touched it to make sure it was not broken, and then put it to his mouth and continued to blow it.

He walked down the mountain as the wind blew. When those people came to him for help today, they were taking shelter under a big tree nearby. He knew the approximate location.

The same melody but different tones sounded, and hundreds of snakes in the cave suddenly changed direction and crawled in another direction.

Seeing this, the people guarding the cave entrance breathed a sigh of relief and raised their hands to wipe the sweat from their faces.

The sweat was not only from the physical exertion, but also from being scared.

The open space outside the cave entrance was a mess of blood and flesh, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.

Ning Wang Shanjun said: "Everyone, help us deal with the smell in this place. The others can check inside the cave to make sure there are no fish that have escaped."

After hearing this, everyone started to act separately, washing with rain water and carefully checking the situation in the cave with torches.

Ning Yan gave some realgar powder to Ning Lu and asked him to sprinkle some at the entrance of the cave with the villagers, and then sprinkle some inside the cave to drive away snakes.

After a while, several screams suddenly came from under a big tree at the foot of the mountain, and then someone could be heard shouting, "Snake, there's a snake."

The man trembled as he put down the jade in his hand, and then said to Huo? "Brother, I have done as you said. Can you spare my life?"

"My house was destroyed, and I just wanted to earn some money to buy food."

Huo asked, "Who did you learn this from?"

"My father taught me. He used to travel all over the country and was in many places. I learned from others." The man said honestly.

"If you teach me this thing, I can spare your life." Huo said.

"This..." the man hesitated.

His family runs a bird market business, and this thing was passed down to him by his father. His father is dead now, and he doesn't want to teach this thing to someone he doesn't know.

"You can choose between your life and this thing. You can choose one yourself." Huo said calmly.

As he spoke, he brought the knife a few centimeters closer, and the tip of the knife touched his neck directly, drawing blood.

The man felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he immediately said, "Teach me, I will teach you."

Ning Jing leaned in Bai Lifen's arms, and asked, "Grandma, the snake ran away."

"Run away, go to sleep." Bai Lifen hugged him, patted his back and said.

When Ning Jing heard this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in seconds.

Huo Yun on the other side was also coaxed to sleep by Ning Yan.

After a while, Huo came back.

Village Chief Wang asked, "Boy, what's going on? Why are there so many of them suddenly here?"

Huo Yu said, "It was someone from Wangjia Village who hired someone to do it."

"These people are too vicious." Sun Huzi said angrily.

Wang Shanjun asked, "Brother Huo, where are the people from Wangjia Village?"

"I have solved this matter temporarily. If you want an explanation, go back tomorrow." Huo said.

That place is a snake's nest now, and it's not a good time for them to go there.

After hearing this, everyone stopped asking questions. Village Chief Wang told everyone to be more alert at night, and then everyone dispersed.

Ning Yan gave Huo Yan a set of clothes and asked him to change first, as his clothes were all wet.

After putting his son on the cow, he lay down again.

After Huo changed his clothes, he put his arm around Ning Yan and told him everything that had just happened.

"Have you learned it?" Ning Yan asked.

Huo said proudly, "Of course, there's nothing I can't learn."

"I'll train two snakes for you to play with later."

"it is good."

"Why don't you take a nap? I'll keep watch." Ning Yan said.

Huo was on guard in the second half of the night.

"No need, you sleep and I'll watch you." Huo said.

"But you have to kiss me." Huo whispered.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yan covered the two of them with his thin blanket, leaned in and kissed Huo Xi for a while, then turned over and went to sleep.

In the second half of the night, everyone in the cave slept uneasily, mainly because they were scared by the incident, and also worried that some fish would slip through the net because it was dark.

It rained heavily again at night and never stopped. I had planned to go find the people from Wangjia Village to argue with them, but seeing the rain outside, Village Chief Wang gave up the idea.

The heavy rain continued for another four days, and it was not until the fifth day that the sun finally appeared.

So everyone in the cave rushed out. They were about to get moldy after staying in the cave for the past few days.

In the open space outside the cave, Huo Yun was holding a small bamboo basket. He took Huo Yun's hand and said, "Dad, let's go pick mushrooms and catch chickens."

A lot of mushrooms will grow after rainy days. He and his brother had gone to the mountains with their family to pick them before, so he remembered them.

Huo said to him, "Let your uncle take you there. Dad wants to go out and bask in the sun."

"Dad?" Huo Yun looked at Ning Yan expectantly.

Hopefully he'll go along.

"Let your uncle take you there. Dad wants to bask in the sun." Ning Yan said calmly.

After hearing this, Huo Yun raised his hand and slapped Huo Yu's thigh hard. Then, with his round eyes, he looked at Huo Yu and said, "You're so lazy!"

Huo Yun spoke in a baby voice, but his expression was angry. The villagers standing around couldn't help but laugh. Huo Yun stood there motionless. Huo Yun's strength had no effect on him at all.

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "This child is so lovable."

Bai Lifen smiled a little embarrassedly.

This is what Bai Lifen used to say to Huo Xi and Ning Jian, but the original words were: You guys are so lazy.

Because when these two people are at home, they often lie side by side on the two lounge chairs in the house, drinking, eating snacks, chatting and reading.

I don’t go out often. I only go to the mountains occasionally to pick some mountain products or herbs to earn some money for my family, and then I lie down.

Although Bai Lifen and Ning Chengyong also had a leisurely life, they would often visit the homes of people they were close to, unlike those two who were like they were growing up on the recliner.

This family has lived together for a long time, and no matter how good their life is, there will be times when they are disliked. So sometimes Bai Lifen would complain when she saw the two of them living such a lazy life.

However, Ning Yan and the other man turned a deaf ear to what was said and continued to do as they were told. Unexpectedly, Huo Yun learned the same thing from them.

Then she said to Huo Yun, "Xiao Yun, grandma will take you to pick mushrooms."

Huo Yun walked towards Bai Lifen carrying a small bamboo basket.

Ning Yu picked up Ning Jing, who was standing beside him, and held him high up, saying, "Uncle will take you to catch pheasants, do you want to?"

"Yes." Ning Jing said happily, "Take the slingshot."

"I brought it. It's in the backpack." Ning Yu carried him and walked forward.

After seeing his two sons off, Huo? found a big rock above the cave, and then climbed up with Ning Yan, leaning against the rock and lazily basking in the sun.

If you don't see the sun again, you will become rotten.

Bai Lifen, Aunt Zhou and others went to pick mushrooms, so Ning Lu took the two children to look for pheasants in the woods.

After walking for a while, Huo Yun saw nothing but a lot of grass, so he sat down on the ground and said to Ning Yu, "Uncle, we've been walking all day and there's nothing."

Ning Jing also sat down on the ground when he saw this and said, "Oh, I'm so tired."

Ning Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing what they said. It didn't seem like they had been walking for a whole day. They had only been walking for less than an incense stick of time.

These two people usually exercise together, sometimes for a little longer than this, but they never complain of being tired.

Most likely, they didn't want to leave until they saw the chicken.

Ning Yu looked around and said to the two children in surprise, "Xiao Yun, Xiao Jing, I saw chicken feathers in the grass ahead."

"Where?" Huo Yun asked as he got up.

Ning Yu walked forward a few steps, picked up a chicken feather from the knee-high grass, and said to them, "Here, look, is it a pheasant feather?"

Ning Jing instantly recovered his health upon seeing this, climbed up and said, "Uncle, let's go and catch the chicken."

So the few people continued walking.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Ning Yu saw a chicken coop in the grass under a tree.

The two chickens in the nest seemed to have just returned from foraging and were preparing to sleep.

"Uncle, let's go hunting pheasants." Huo Yun said happily when he saw the chickens in the chicken coop.

Ning Yu said, "Don't worry, there should be more than just these two pheasants in this nest. Let's wait a little longer and wait for a few more to come back. Then we can fight them again."

Chickens in the mountains usually live in groups, and this chicken coop looks quite large, so there must be other chickens.

Huo Yun thought for a while after listening to what Ning Yu said, and then he nodded his head: "Wait a little longer."

He was so greedy that he wanted to catch a few more and eat the meat. Huo Yun couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The three of them waited quietly there for a while, and sure enough, three more chickens came back.

Ning Yu saw this and assigned tasks: "You two will take care of the two on the left, and the three on the right will be mine. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" the two kids said in unison.

Then they took the small slingshot that Ning Lu handed to them, picked up a stone on the ground, and at Ning Lu's command, they all shot the slingshot towards the chicken.

The two men’s archery practice was not in vain. They hit the chicken’s neck. Maybe the injury was serious. The two chickens did not run away. They tilted their bodies, clucked, and lay down in the nest.

Huo Yun and Ning Jing clapped their hands happily and said, "We got it."

Then the two of them ran forward to pick up the chicken.
