Origin Chapter 176: Spooky Grave

Wu Zhongyuan used light work. Seeing that he was running fast, the black bear knew that he had no hope of catching him, so he quickly became discouraged and stopped chasing after tens of meters.

The black bear stopped chasing, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't slow down. It was getting late, and he had to get back to Daqiu before dark.

As for hunting, go back to Daqiu and find a way. Start searching now, and even if you catch it, you will have to carry it back.

Before the sun went down, Wu Zhongyuan returned to Daqiu. At this time, there were still people in the mountains, some were upset and frustrated with nothing, and some were elated with their prey.

On the way, I heard two young people with goats on their backs talking excitedly, guessing which girl would come forward to pick up the prey in their hands after returning to the city, and conclude a relationship with them.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Wu Zhongyuan remembered that there is still such a stubble. What if he brought his prey back and many women surrounded him? I am now a warrior of Daqiu, and it is the ultimate dream of many girls to marry a warrior at this time.

If Wu Qin is present at that time, and he insists not to choose from these women, will Wu Qin be suspicious? Will you mess up the mandarin ducks?

No, I have to find a way to catch the prey that can only make women shy away.

The first thing he thought of was a weasel. This thing was very shy, but after a flash of thought, he dismissed the idea. As a warrior of Daqiu, it seems not good to carry a weasel back.

And then I thought of getting a heavyweight one so they couldn't carry it, but after thinking about it, it wouldn't work. What if they carried it together?

It's really hard to find a suitable target. You have to show your might, and you have to make the women waiting outside the city shy away. What's the best thing to look for?

After thinking for a long time, I suddenly had an idea. I have it. Go to the snake and find the big one.

The art of finding animals of the Aryans is not just telepathy, but also certain skills. There are certain rules for which animals like to stay in any place. Snakes usually like to stay not far from water sources and hibernate. When hibernating, they like to stay in a place with suitable dryness and humidity. If the hibernation environment is too dry, the snake will dehydrate and die during hibernation. If the hibernation place is too humid, it will freeze to death.

Abandoned cities are the first choice for snakes to hibernate. There are quite a few similar places in the mountains and fields. Find the past, meditate, and search by induction.

Don't underestimate the cultivation of the cave god. After becoming a cave god, his sensing range has increased significantly, and he has indeed sensed the existence of snakes. Another feature of snakes' hibernation is that they like to get together, little snakes. A lot, but large snakes are rare.

I searched several abandoned villages, but couldn't find a big snake. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Wu Zhongyuan was a little anxious. This was the first time he participated in a festival hunting, and it would be embarrassing to go back empty-handed.

Fortunately, there is no road to heaven. On the hillside to the east of this abandoned city, he sensed the existence of a suspected target. The target was located a few meters below a large earthbag. Judging by perception, the following There should be a big guy with hundreds of pounds hidden.

Most snakes don't burrow themselves, how could this guy burrow so deep?

I was puzzled, and then I looked at the surrounding situation, and finally realized that there are many similar earthbags around. This place should be a tomb, and the place where this big snake hides is one of the tombs.

He doesn't know which family's city this abandoned village was originally, nor who is buried here, but no matter who is buried here, or which tribe they belonged to before they died, in order to catch snakes The grave was dug, and it didn't seem very good.

After hesitating, I started to look around the tomb bag. There must be a hole leading to the tomb, and it is usually located in a relatively high place, because if the hole is located too low, the rain will pour water into the tomb.

Soon he found the entrance of the hole, on the tomb, on the upper right side of the tomb, hidden under a cluster of bushes. The diameter of this hole is seventy to eighty centimeters, and it should be a badger. If it was a weasel and a mountain rat, the hole would not be so big.

I went to the cave and smelled it. The smell was strong and pungent. For some reason, the soil at the entrance and the four walls of the cave was very dry. The temperature inside was very high. You can clearly feel the heat radiating out.

Although the entrance of the cave is not small, it is still difficult to get in. Taking a step back and saying that even if he can get in, he will not get in. The temperature in the tomb is bizarrely high. The big snake is probably awake. What if the big guy jumps up and gives him a bite if it gets halfway through.

With smoke? No, I don't know how big the space is. At this time, the snow is melting, the hay is not easy to find, and the heat is going up. Even if the fire is lit, the smoke will not pour into it.

Dig? No, not to mention that you don't have the tools at hand, even if you have it, you can't do it like that, it will be digging the graves of people's ancestors.

After pondering, I came up with a solution. I cut a section of fresh branches three meters long, took off the shoe of my right foot, tied it to a stick, untied the waist rope, urinated on the shoe, and only drenched it. At one point, the rest of the pee was on the side, and if it was all on the shoes, the shoes would get soaked, and they wouldn't be able to wear them in a while.

The underground space of this tomb is bigger than he imagined. A stick more than three meters long can't see the bottom, but it doesn't need to be inserted to the bottom. Snakes are very sensitive to smell. Feeling that the target is moving, it will take the initiative to attack.

Facts have proved that his judgment is correct, and soon the prey bites the hook, and the huge force from the other end makes the wooden stick in his hand almost let go.

You can't confront it. If you let it go, it will be bad. You have to pull it up quickly. There must be a hundred pounds of this thing, otherwise it won't have such a lot of strength.

When pulling up, he made full psychological preparations, and imagined this big snake that had not yet appeared to be extremely terrifying, so that even if it was really ugly, it would not be frightened.

After pulling out the stick two meters, he suddenly exerted force, grabbed the end of the stick and dragged it eastward. The big snake must have been dragged out, but he didn't look back, and kept running eastward with the stick.

I don't know if the big snake was stupid and didn't let go, or if its teeth were stuck in the boots and couldn't be pulled out. In short, it didn't let go. Wu Zhongyuan didn't look back, just ran east, picking snowy ones when running. Place, in such cold weather, this guy will freeze to death soon.

At first, the big snake struggled violently behind, but the strength of the struggle gradually weakened and finally disappeared, leaving only its own weight, which must be more than 100 pounds.

At this time, he still didn't look back. He ran to the edge of the woods in the west of the big hill in one breath. Then he looked back. When he saw it, he was still startled. This guy is bigger than he thought. It is more than five meters long, the scales on its body are red, the head is triangular, and there is a cluster of red combs similar to a rooster's comb. This is not a python, but a poisonous snake.

At this point, the guy was frozen. Wu Zhongyuan took off the shoes and put them on. He wanted to drag them back, but after kicking them twice, he found that they were frozen, so he simply carried them.

Although the sun has gone down, there are still many women standing outside the city gate. Most of them are married women waiting for their husbands. There are still people in the mountains at this time, and he is not the latest to come back.

Seeing him approaching, the crowd became restless. When he was still a few dozen meters away from the city gate, a group of women greeted him.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at it and was taken aback. There wasn't a single one that looked good, all were crooked melons and cracked dates.

At this time, it was already dark, and the crooked melon cracked date only saw the pale red cloak behind him. He didn't see what he was carrying on his shoulders. When he got closer, he finally saw it clearly. Turn around and run.

The harsh cry made Wu Zhongyuan frown. He said that ugly people do more to blame. This is not unreasonable. The uglier women are, the more they like to shout.

At the gate of Decheng, the married women and the soldiers guarding the city were also startled. The snakes were generally small, and they had never seen such a large snake before.

What prey was caught, and a group of people was in charge of recording, not only someone recording, but also someone who was in charge of shouting at their throats. After the shock, the person in charge of propaganda shouted at their throats, "Zhongyuan Dongshen, A century-old red-crowned snake."

"Are you scolding me?" Wu Zhongyuan laughed, "You should add capture, or capture alive."

Being reprimanded, the man hurriedly shouted, "Caught alive..."

"Shut up, stop shouting," Wu Zhongyuan threw the poisonous snake in front of everyone, "be careful, it's not dead yet."

Aluo was also near the city gate, but she was standing by the street in the city. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan throw down her prey, she hurried over and took out a rice cake from her arms and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan spread out his hands, indicating that he had caught the poisonous snake and before washing his hands, A Luo brought the rice cake to his mouth.

Wu Zhongyuan was also hungry, took a bite, and smiled at Arlo.

Alo laughs too.

At this time, the group of people responsible for receiving and recording the prey are discussing whether this poisonous snake can be eaten. This red-crowned snake is a highly poisonous snake. People usually avoid it, who will catch it and eat it.

Wu Zhongyuan looked around and didn't see Wu Qin, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but even if Wu Qin was still here, he probably wouldn't force him to choose a wife, because the rest was just too much.

He lives in the west part of the city. After going back to wash up, he and Arlo go to the city. Tonight there will be a large bonfire party in the square outside the Warriors' Morning Meeting Hall.

When the two arrived, the square was already crowded with people. The situation was a bit like an open-air banquet in a modern rural marriage. There were dozens of cauldrons on the east and west sides of the square, where meat was stewed and rice was cooked.

There are more than a dozen piles of firewood in the center of the square, all of which are hardwoods that are resistant to burning. In other areas, there are densely packed rushes. At this time, ordinary people cannot sit on stools and chairs, but can only sit on this kind of flat pupa pallet.

The warriors have their own seats. On the north side, when they get to the square, A Luo goes to help the cook, and Wu Zhongyuan goes to the north.

At this time, most of the warriors were already in their seats. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan coming over, Wu Qin, who was sitting in the main seat in the north, smiled and waved at him, "Zhongyuan, come and talk."

Wu Zhongyuan walked over quickly, raised his hand and saluted, "Lord Jushan."

"Have you ever chosen the woman you like?" Wu Qin seemed to be in a good mood.

Wu Zhongyuan was just about to answer, but found that Wu Zhen and others sitting around were smiling quite meaningfully.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan in a daze, Wu Dalie urged, "Lord Jushan is asking you something."

Wu Zhongyuan could only shake his head.

"Hahaha, it's okay, I have my own arrangements." Wu Qin waved his hand, motioning him to return to his seat.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why. He walked to his seat in a confused way. After taking his seat, he tilted his head and looked at Wu Qin. At this time, Wu Qin was talking to Wu Zhen and others. Wu Dalie made eye contact with him and smiled at him. wink.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't understand what Wu Dalie's wink meant. When he found out how hostile the young warriors around him looked at him, he could vaguely guess what Wu Qin wanted to do. Although Wu Qin was only thirty-five years old this year, he had three One child, two daughters and one son, the eldest daughter is 18 years old this year, and the second daughter is 16. Judging from this situation, Wu Qin probably wants to betroth one of the daughters to him...
