Chapter 2 Escape in the woods

"After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late."

After a heavy rain, the world looked completely refreshed and there was a sense of freshness everywhere. The weather in the Shennongjia Nature Reserve has always been so volatile. It was raining heavily just now, but now it has already filled the rain, and a light golden color appeared in the horizon in the east.

Large rain water rolls on the branches and leaves of the dense plant, crystal clear and transparent.

A large amount of rainwater gathered on the ground, washing the muddy mountain road into small ditches. The mud and water in the ditches rush happily and flowed towards the low-level position. Although it was just a small stream of water, it ran into the small river at the foot of the mountain with great momentum like a thousand troops.

The river water that was only slightly above the knee in the shallowest part of the river has risen to a waist-length depth today. Even the river water could only circumference around the few big rocks that passed by, but today it has been mostly immersed in the water, leaving only the top of the highest position vaguely exposed on the water surface.

In the center of the river, there is a small oasis, which is not large in size, at most half the size of a gravel site. Because the terrain is high, the river water will not be able to flood that location no matter how roaring. The small oasis is fertile and full of soil and water, and the grass is as fragrant as a small treasure land.

On the river bank, a mountain boy about sixteen or seventeen years old drove a group of cows to the shore. The cows were all fat and strong, the strongest one was a big black and blue buffalo, who leisurely shook their big heads and chewed the green grass under their feet.

The young man standing next to Da Qingniu was naked and barefoot, wearing only a pair of blue cloth pants with nails suffixed on the front and back, and rolled his trousers to his knees.

Looking at the running water, the boy grinned and the bull-driven in his hand beat a sound of flowers. The big green cow beside the boy raised his head, chewing a few green grass in his mouth, but he was slowly walking towards the river under his hooves.

In a blink of an eye, the river water had already disappeared from the belly of the big green bull, and the other three buffaloes followed closely, lined up in a row and walked down the river. After a while, the four buffaloes had successfully completed the landing and successfully arrived at the small oasis in the middle of the river.

There were three other yellow cows on the left bank, and they waved their tails slightly anxiously. I guess they were very coveting the tender grass on the oasis. Unfortunately, the yellow cows were born without knowing the nature of water, so they could only watch the buffaloes take the lead and feast.

The young man squatted under the belly of one of the scalpers with a smile. With a little force, he actually carried the scalpers weighing hundreds of pounds. The cow seemed to be used to this treatment and did not move, allowing the young man to carry himself into the river.

The river soon flooded the boy's calves. The boy's steps were surprisingly steady, he calmed down and jumped towards the big rock that faintly emerged from the water.

The stones in the water were extremely slippery, but it was obvious that this young man had done such a move. His landing point was very in place, his feet stood firmly in the center of the stone, but his body shook slightly, and then he looked at the next big stone exposed to the water.

After jumping on four big rocks in a row, he finally successfully delivered the first big yellow cow to the small oasis. The young man with empty hands jumped back to the shore at a speed that was obviously several times faster than before, and carried the second yellow cow.

The boy was about to jump into the water with a yellow cow, but the big yellow cow on his shoulder suddenly struggled like crazy. Then, the three buffaloes on the oasis sniffed, and the bull's eyes were red and angry, surrounding them in anger.

The boy exclaimed lightly, bowed his head and bent down, put down the rhubarb on his shoulder, swept across the river, and immediately noticed the thing floating on the river beach.

This thing looked at it at a glance, like a thick rotten wood floating on the water surface, inconspicuous. But when you look closely, the black and green mud was clearly covered with the flash of scales.

The boy snorted coldly, thinking that there were still eyeless creatures running to my territory to run wild. Don’t you know that this river beach is named Mu? In the boy’s mind, there is no big difference between humans and wild animals. As long as it is a guy who breaks into his territory, there is no need to be polite to it!

The boy took a few steps back, tried his best to help, and then jumped over the river beach. The rotten wood was at his foot. As soon as the two stepped down, the water surface suddenly trembled.

Heaven! It turns out that what lurks under the water is actually a huge creature. Its surface is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a giant python that is ten meters long, and only in the original jungle area of ​​Shennongjia, this form of species can be preserved.

The giant python's attack method was very direct. The thick body suddenly tensed when it was stepped on by the boy. The rebound force it generated had enough to bomb the boy's body into the air. Next, it was just waiting to open its big mouth and catch the delicious food falling from the air.

The boy's body flipped in the air for two and a half weeks, and his face was facing down. He could see the bloody mouth of the giant python spreading on the water directly below.

What agile boy, he twisted his waist and leaned down in the air, and took advantage of the situation to kick his feet hard at the big smelly mouth. Faced with the swallowing of the giant python, he could still kick up without changing his face. Regardless of speed and reaction, this courage is rare in the world.

This giant python was also a domineering in the jungle, covered in copper and iron bones, and was rampant. But today I met a more fierce mountain domineering king. The muscles on the inner wall of the python's mouth were tender and sensitive. He was kicked by this human-shaped tyrannosaurus. The pain made the giant python tremble all over. However, the giant python was always greedy, so he endured the pain and closed his mouth, trying to swallow the young man forcibly.

Poor python ignorant. Not all creatures in this world can swallow it in one go, and the person in front of him is obviously one of them. The snake kisses and sucks the thigh at least. Before he can close it, the boy shouted loudly, grabbed the two snake teeth with his arms, and pulled it hard, and the snake mouth was immediately supported.

Fortunately, the upper and lower jaw joints of snakes are relatively active, but this is uncomfortable but not fatal.

The giant python was extremely uncomfortable and rolled its long body backwards, looking at each other's head and tail, trying to strangle the strong enemy in his arms.

Unfortunately, the boy was familiar with snake nature and had seen through the giant python's intentions. He pressed the python's head with both hands, and kicked with all his strength, and actually jumped out of the water in the air and landed steadily on a big rock that had just exposed the water surface.

The huge snake tail roared, of course, it was empty. The boy's movements were so agile that even the gymnasts might not be as good as the gymnasts.

The giant python's series of movements stirred the water but had no effect. The boy standing on the big rock stood firm and showed a thread of expression on his face. He habitually stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, and made a little finger hooking towards the giant python in the water.

The giant python held its head up and soaked in the water, with a faint pain as if it was torn. The cold snake eyes stared at the direction where the boy was. Finally, the giant python looked helpless, shook his head and swam downstream on its own.

This is the law in the jungle. Both strong people have their own fields. It is best not to invade each other. Once you cross the boundary, a fierce battle is inevitable.

The giant python is a lazy creature, and it is not its territory. It’s just passing by. Since it can’t do anything to the other party, it’s better to retreat early.

The boy did not pursue him. Of course he knew that he could not do anything to this giant python in the water. Besides, chasing and fighting hard was not his style. At least this giant python has already recognized that this is his own sphere of influence and will not enter at will again in the future.

This battle is just a warm-up. For this young man, this is just a small episode that happens frequently in the mountains and forests every day.

He jumped back and forth a few more times until he sent all the remaining two yellow cows to the oasis. The boy shook his arms with satisfaction, broke down a piece of dogtail grass and bit it in his mouth, and shook it into the depths of the forest.

The young man is named Mu Qingshan. He just turned 17 this year and is a member of the Mu village at the foot of the wild man peak of Shennongjia.

Speaking of which, his life experience is simple. Mu Qingshan is an abandoned baby. He was thrown into the woods when he was less than one year old and was picked up by the old cowherd in the village. The old cowherd had no children and had been lonely for most of his life. Naturally, he liked it very much. On the evening when he picked up the baby, the clouds were everywhere and the green mountains were like picturesque. So the old cowherd was very happy for the first time in his life and named the baby Mu Qingshan.

When Mu Qingshan was raised to the age of six or seven, the old cowherd took Mu Qingshan for more than 60 miles of mountain road and came to Hope Primary School on the edge of the mountain. He also hoped that the child could study hard and read well and make a name for himself in the future. Unexpectedly, although the little Mu Qingshan was very filial to the old cowherd, he just couldn't read the books. After barely recognizing a few words, he was beaten to death and never wanted to go to school again.

His greatest pleasure was to hang out in the mountains all day long. The old cowherd was so angry that he held the cigarette pot bag and scolded and sighed. This boy was born to be a material for studying.

Time flies, and the beauty of the old cowherd finally cannot withstand the destruction of time and passed away when Mu Qingshan was fifteen years old. So Mu Qingshan once again became a lonely man and naturally became a cattlewoman in the village.
