Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Legend of the Dragon
"Go, go down!" Zhou Xirui was worried that the big bird would come back and remind him, "Don't be busy. I have to solve the bird before I go down!" Acuo shook his head and looked at the distant sky and said. Are you going to die? Look at the place you have been caught by it, and the meat has been turned out," Zhou Xirui scolded him as soon as he was anxious.
Acuo looked down at the bloody scratches on his body, and then he felt pain. He grinned and said fiercely, "Don't be tight. This is a small thing. Damn, look, I won't skin that bird." Zhou Xirui had no choice but to look at this unyielding guy and felt that this man was really a stubborn freak. The more difficult things were, the more he seemed to be angry with himself.
He simply threw the backpack, untied the safety rope around his waist, and tied the rope to the banyan tree growing in the crack of the cliff for use when the two of them went down. Then he sat down next to Acuo, took out a pack of cigarettes on his body and threw one to him.
Acuo looked at the cigarette, hesitated for a moment, picked it up, and Zhou Xirui came over to light it for him. Who knew that he couldn't breathe at all. After taking a sip, he kept choking and tears came out. Haha, you won't just say it. There's no need to hold on!" Zhou Xirui thought this guy was so funny that he was so funny.
"Laugh!" A Cuo cursed angrily, "What are you doing here for? Go down and wait first," he said, staring at Zhou Xirui. What are you doing here? Do you think you can get rid of the bird by yourself? Who will help you if I don't help you? Zhou Xirui laughed.
"Well, don't regret it. Don't blame me if the bird pulls out your intestines," he said in an obvious tone and said with his finger on the chicks tearing the goat inside. Zhou Xirui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't say that if it's a brother!" A Cuo nodded and asked, "Why do you like to drill into this deep mountain forest? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by monsters?" Ha ha, I'm sure I'm afraid, but I like to do these thrilling things, there's nothing I can do! I'm ready to travel to all the unsolved mysteries in the world." Are you alone?" Atso was a little excited by his idea. Zhou Xirui nodded. How about we go together? I also like adventure," he looked at Zhou Xirui and pleaded, "Of course, no problem. We have a companion together," Zhou Xirui replied excitedly.
As the saying goes, a single thread is not a thread, and it is difficult for a single tree to become a forest. The two hit it off immediately. At this time, they are very excited, and their blood boils when they think of the exciting adventure trips in the future.
At this time, "Wow!" With a long roar, the big bird came back, and the two immediately entered a state of first-class combat readiness, standing on both sides to prepare for the attack of the big bird. Zhou Xirui suddenly thought of something and immediately motioned Atso to stand aside and said, "You cut it from behind, and I'll attract its attention!"
After saying that, he took a few steps to the nest of the big bird, grabbed a chick's neck and picked it up. The chick was also half a meter tall. It struggled desperately to make a harsh cry, which made the big bird throw its prey in its mouth and fall into the crack of the cliff.
As soon as it came in, it saw the chick with its neck struggling desperately, and immediately walked in angrily. The bird's wings became an obstacle. The top of the cave was not high, and the huge thing was not allowed to fly over. It could only shake its wings to maintain balance. Seeing that it was about to peck at Zhou Xirui, Atso had thrown out a bamboo stick and instantly inserted it into the eyes of the big bird. The big bird jumped on the ground and raised the dust in the hole with its wings.
It did not allow it to breathe. The two had already picked up a machete and cut it to its neck. After a while, the big bird's neck was cut with only a little skin connected, and its wings did not move. Seeing that the bird was dead, Zhou Xirui squatted down and looked and said, "This bird really looks exactly like a pterosaur." He remembered that he had seen such an image in another popular science book. Atso was not interested in big birds. He went in and broke the neck of a chick. He lifted it up and said, "At least 20 catties is enough for us to eat two meals!"
The two went down the rope, and only heard the harsh "Wow!" in the sky. Suddenly, a big bird rushed down from the sky and quickly attacked Zhou Xirui hanging on the rope. It turned out that there was another one, and both of them were surprised. Now it's too late to hide. Thinking of the experience of falling to the ground from a tree in the morning, Zhou Xirui unbuttoned the rope and released his hand and jumped straight down.
The bird's mouth pecked empty, and Acuo's bamboo stick also inserted its eyes. The bird fell down to the cliff with a scream, only a "bang" sound, and the bird struggled to death under dozens of meters of cliff. Then Zhou Xirui also fell beside it, but he floated down, so he stood on his feet easily.
Acuo also quickly slipped along the rope to the cliff, "Are you all right?" He asked with concern, "It's okay, hehe!" Zhou Xirui is very happy that he can have such ability. What kung fu did you learn? Light power? Do you really have this kind of skill?" Acuo asked curiously, "No, I have never learned anything. I found out that it was like this until I fell from the tree this morning." Zhou Xirui also wondered how he could escape from the gravity of the earth and have a feeling of drifting. He felt that this must have something to do with the swallowed meteorite.
He followed Acuo for two days and finally saw the fields cultivated by someone. Finally got out of the black bamboo ditch!" Zhou Xirui breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that although he had experienced so many horrible things and lost Li Wen, he really had a sense of accomplishment to come out. It was this sense of achievement that supported his continuous journey of adventure in the future. Atso was also very excited. He stepped into this valley of death countless times and returned empty-handed. This time, he finally got the corner of his dream. He accelerated his pace and walked in the direction of his home.
As soon as they entered the village, several Yi children gathered around and asked, "Brother, have you got any prey?"
Acuo nodded. The children puzzled and asked him why he didn't see the prey. He took out his horns and raised them and laughed, "Here," obviously the children were a little disappointed. The mountains were very poor and rarely ate meat. Every time Acuo came back from hunting, he would give his prey to the poor people in the stockade.
After all, the child is a child. Seeing that he can't eat meat, he became interested in the black corner in Acuo's hand. A Cuo quickly raised his horn and smiled and said, "This can't be played. This is for my father's treatment, ha ha!" When the children heard that it was for uncle's treatment, they followed Acuo and hugged him and walked home. It seemed that Acuo was very loved by the children.
Zhou Xirui wanted to joke with these children and reached out to touch the head of a black, fat and solid child next to him. The child looked at the strange guest, hid next to A Cuo shyly, and smiled at him shyly with a finger in his face.
Looking at these children with dirty things on their faces, wearing patches everywhere, and eager to eat meat, Zhou Xirui's heart was touched. For children of the same age, the dolls in the city are the treasures of their parents. They are spoiled and cared for in every way, but these dolls live in the wasteland like weeds, but they are so simple and lovely.
He asked Azso if these children were reading? Acuo sighed, pointed to a tall boy and said, "Except for Amu, these children are very poor in their families!" Zhou Xirui felt a little sad. He felt that he should do something for the children.
Soon they came to a dilapidated wooden building, and Acuo shouted, "Grandpa! Grandpa! I got the corner of the dragonfly, and an old reply came from the upstairs: "Bring it to see." A Cuo hurried in, and Zhou Xirui followed in. When the children heard Grandpa's voice, they didn't follow up, and they all dispersed as birds and beasts. At this time, an old man dressed as Yi came down anxiously from upstairs. A Cuo quickly handed the horns to his grandfather's hand. The old man went to the door and looked at the light carefully and cried while watching: "This is it, that's it. Your father is saved!"
The old man didn't have time to greet Zhou Xirui and only motioned him to sit down first. He and Acuo went to the fire pond, started a fire, clamped the corner with a clip, and roasted it on the fire until it became black and crispy. After smashing it, they took out a small stone mill and ground the corner into fine powder. Then he scooped out a spoonful and put it in the water for Acuo to serve for his father. Zhou Xirui wanted to follow up and have a look, but the old man shook his head to signal him not to go up, so he had to sit down and chat with the old man.
The old man asked, "Why did you meet Acuo in Sihuo?" Zhou Xirui talked about this adventure with the old man. Hearing that Li Wen was dragged into the black pool, the old man scolded him, "You young people really don't know the depth of heaven and earth, and you dare to rush anywhere." Zhou Xirui didn't say anything. He knew that the old man was also sad to say so. The old man continued, "It's not easy for your parents to raise you so much. It's gone all of a sudden. You say it's painful!" Zhou Xirui nodded. He didn't know what was good. He really felt sorry for Li Wen's parents. It was really not easy to talk to her family about this matter.
At this time, a man groaned in pain from upstairs. Grandpa quickly hugged him and took a look, and Zhou Xirui also followed. When I came upstairs, it was full of debris and the light was very dark. His feet made a loud noise. I don't know how many years this building has been repaired. Zhou Xirui didn't dare to step hard. He was afraid that he would step through the floor at once. In a dark hut, there was a little ** with a painful Yi Chinese character with a face. Acuo squatted anxiously by the bed. There was a disgusting smell of shit in the room. Zhou Xirui retreated because of the smell. He thought that Grandpa didn't let him come up just now, which turned out to be the reason.
Acuo asked Grandpa, "Grandpa, can you really cure Dad's illness? Why does he feel so much pain? Grandpa affirmed, "It can be cured. The pain is because the bones are growing and closing. You can see the effect tomorrow morning. Don't worry!" He pulled up Acuo and motioned him to go downstairs and stay to take care of him.
Acuo and Zhou Xirui came downstairs. Acuo said, "Let's go to the trap on the mountain to have a look. You can't come to my house without anything to entertain you, hehe." They climbed to the mountain behind the stockade, and the black little fat man who was touched by Zhou Xirui also followed: "Brother, I'll go with you." "Okay, let's go!" Acuo took his little hand and continued to climb the mountain.
There are many shrubs on this mountain. As he walked, A Cuo said, "If you are lucky, you can catch a wild goat, hehe!" They walked around in the bushes for more than half an hour and came to a slightly flat place. Acuo suddenly became excited and found many wild boar hoof marks. After a few steps, I came to the trap. Sure enough, there was a wild boar in it, but it was very small, only about 20 catties at most, but anyway, there was meat to eat! The little fat man jumped up happily and was about to go down to the pit to catch wild boars.
Zhou Xirui was afraid that the wild boar would hurt the little fat man, so he reached out to hold him and prevent him from going down. Acuo untied the rope wrapped around his waist, jumped into the pit, and tied the little wild boar into a strong one. Zhou Xirui took the little fat man's hand and said, "Hey, the rope that binds pigs will not be your belt!" After saying that, he laughed.
"Bed your M's belt!" Acuo replied rudely, but this was really his trousers belt. He put one hand on the pig's shoulder and trousers in the other. It looked funny, which made Zhou Xirui couldn't help laughing all the way. Soon the news of catching a wild boar spread all over the stockade. After a while, more than a dozen children arrived. Acuo asked them to wash their hands and help beat the wild boar. These children work very quickly, burning the fire and helping to cut potatoes, which was very lively for a while.
There are few paddy fields in mountainous areas. Most of the time, people in the stockade use potatoes as the main food room or eat some corn. Today's dinner is a large pot of potatoes stewed wild boar meat and a large pot of pork blood soup. The children ate very well, and Zhou Xirui also felt that it tasted good. Grandpa also took out his own rice wine and drank it happily. Grandpa talked about his legendary experience in Sihuo when he was young.
