"Boss Wei, it's like this." Zhang Houhou swallowed, then subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the cave, and said: "If we analyze everything after we entered the cave, what this big snake is afraid of seems to be
Your blood."
"Blood?" I lowered my head and looked at my palms, which were covered with blood. I followed Zhang Houshou's words and started to think about it.
This conclusion suddenly sounds ridiculous, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that it is very consistent with the actual situation. When I first entered the cave, I accidentally saw blood, and the snake did not dare to cross. Later, we were in a stalemate in the cave for a while.
, Ma Dad bandaged my wound again, and the big snake immediately dived in, until my face was bleeding for the second time, and the big snake miraculously retreated.
If you put aside the factor of coincidence, then this speculation can still be established.
However, guesses are just guesses after all, and cannot be completely determined, especially in matters where lives are at stake, and any mistake can have fatal consequences.
Ma Dad naturally thought through the questions that I could think through. He touched his chin, paused, and said: "Old Zhang, it sounds like what you said makes a little sense, but even if it is true, it doesn't make any sense.
Maybe let Master Wei keep his blood dripping here to prevent big insects from coming in."
"Let's do a small experiment. Although it's a bit risky, once confirmed, there will be a way to get rid of this big snake completely." Zhang Houhou said while tearing off a sleeve of his coat and handing it to me: "Boss Wei, while you
The wound is still bleeding, and the blood is dripping onto this sleeve."
"Old Zhang, what do you want to do?"
After Zhang Hou had a lot of blood stains on his sleeves, he found a piece of gravel in the cave, wrapped it in his sleeves, and said to us: "The big snake must not have gone far and is still lying outside. Is it afraid?"
Boss Wei’s blood, just throw this sleeve out and you’ll know.”
"I always feel a bit mysterious. Young Master Wei grew up eating whole grains and has never cultivated as an immortal. Can his blood ward off evil spirits?" Ma Dad stretched his head and looked out of the cave and said, "But you might as well give it a try.
The first is a way out, which is better than being trapped here to death. Lao Zhang, you go ahead, I support you."
"I know, no one else would do such a thing but me."
Zhang Houhou lay down at the entrance of the cave and scanned the surroundings with a flashlight. As expected, the big snake was still evil and coiled not far from the entrance of the cave. Zhang Houhou raised his hand and threw out the blood-stained sleeve. Ya's accuracy was pretty good.
As soon as the sleeves wrapped in stones fell to the ground, Gu Lu Lu rolled to the side of the big snake.
The big snake that had been lying still immediately turned around and fled away in the distance, just like it had done the previous two times when it broke into the cave.
"There is a way!" Zhang Houhou said to us excitedly: "The big snake must be afraid of Boss Wei's blood."
Ma Dad also felt strange and turned to look at me: "Did you grow up eating realgar?"
For a moment, it was difficult for me to describe my current mood. After living for more than 20 years, I always thought that I was just an ordinary person doing nothing, relying on my father’s spare money, eating and drinking every day. But since I came here
, I found that there were strange phenomena hidden in myself that could not be explained by common sense.
"The big snake is afraid of Boss Wei's blood. This is easy to handle. Boss Wei, don't bandage it yet. Let's go out directly. The big snake can't avoid it, so it will definitely not dare to follow."
As he said that, Zhang Houhou wiped his body with my blood. Ma Dad immediately understood what he meant and ran over with a smile on his face: "A little fairy energy will protect you from all evil."
Before the blood dripping from the wound on my forehead had solidified, the three of us rushed out of the cave entrance together. The so-called patron saint of the holy mountain had long gone. Zhang Houhou was afraid that he was not well-armed.
Then he picked up the sleeve and held it in his hand.
As soon as we left the cave, we speeded up, trying to throw the big snake as far away as possible. The blood would solidify in a short time, and I couldn't peel off the scabs again and again, it was painful.
Soon, we got out of the narrow road. Zhang Houhou took out the compass to confirm the direction, and then started walking towards the starting point. This place is so big and the terrain is complicated, no one can guarantee that we will not encounter a sudden encounter.
The second big snake, only reuniting with the lost people is the current top priority.
My mind was very confused. I probably discovered that blood can scare big snakes, which then reminded me of the door and other things. I couldn't help but systematically summarize and sort out some details in my memory. After the incident at Zhaotong stall, I seemed to
Pulled by an invisible thread, step by step towards the mist.
Even now, I can't quite tell whether my involvement in this matter was accidental or inevitable.
Accidental and inevitable. Although there is only one word difference between these two words, to me, the meanings are completely different. If it is just accidental, everything is easy to explain. If it is inevitable... I am thinking about it.
, I had a creepy feeling.
Zhang Houhou and Ma Dad walked in tandem, with one leading the way and the other watching out for any abnormalities. About half an hour later, Ma Dad stopped Zhang Houhou and me from behind, looked around and said, "No, I don't think it's right."
."
I was distracted along the way and didn't notice anything wrong. Zhang Houhou turned around and asked Ma Dad what was wrong.
"According to the speed we are walking now, we should have arrived at the place where we met the big worm just now, but why do I look at the surrounding environment so unfamiliarly?" Ma Dad looked around, and it is impossible to remember all the terrain along the way.
It's clear, but Ma Dad probably has a general impression in his mind.
"Are we there?" Zhang Houhou said in a daze: "I was chased by a big snake in a daze just now. I don't know how far I ran away. Let's go further and see. Maybe we will go when we come back.
Slowly, we haven’t reached the place yet.”
"Don't pretend to be confused with me. Even if you don't know it in your heart, the road you have traveled can still change? It has been more than half an hour and I haven't even seen the river." Ma Dad looked at it for a long time and became more and more sure that the river was very long.
Even if the direction we walked was a little off, once we reached the distance, we could at least see the river.
Ma Dad stared at Zhang Houhou and kept muttering, with distrust in his eyes. I temporarily withdrew my thoughts, and felt that something was really wrong. In addition, I had always been slightly suspicious of Zhang Houhou, so I immediately talked to Ma Dad.
I sandwiched Zhang Houhou in the middle. I didn’t want to quarrel with Zhang Houhou, but I couldn’t be led around in circles by him.
"Boss Wei, Boss Wei, Brother Ma." When Zhang Houhou saw the two of us coming around, he immediately panicked, covered his heart and began to swear: "You still can't believe Lao Zhang..."
"It's strange that I trust you!" Ma Dad couldn't help but said, and snatched the compass from Zhang Houhou's hand: "I won't let you lead the way. The more you lead, the farther you go. Don't wait until you find the exit. Come out and see, you're all damned
We’ve arrived in Outer Mongolia.”
Ma Dad and I looked at the compass. Zhang Houhou took us in the right direction. But Ma Dad would definitely not admit his mistake or admit that he had wronged Zhang Houhou, but what he did after taking the compass was
There was no more running against him.
Zhang Houhou looked very disappointed, with a sad expression on his face: "Boss Wei, Brother Ma, the three of us are brothers who share life and death together, why don't you believe me so much? What good can I gain by cheating you? Now with the brigade
We are separated, so we should stick together and stay together through thick and thin. Doubts come and go, which makes my heart feel cold."
In fact, Ma Dad and I were just speculating when we suspected Zhang Houhou. Until now, we really didn’t have any clues about him. I felt calmer and felt a little guilty, so I patted Zhang Houhou and said to him: "Ma Dad
It's Lao Jianghu, so be cautious in everything. He sees that the momentum is not right, and reminds him in time, because he is afraid of something happening later, so don't take it to heart, Lao Zhang."
"Yes, Lao Zhang." When Ma Dad heard me praising him, he walked ahead and said, "With me here, nothing will happen. I'm not boasting. If you fall into the river with others this time, you will be killed."
Rush down, I'm afraid you'll be in big trouble if you encounter a big snake."
"Yes, without Brother Ma, who would be able to accomplish anything..." Zhang Houhou smiled bitterly. The biggest advantage of this person is that he can endure and never get angry no matter how hard he is pushed.
I found an unopened pack of cigarettes from my backpack, opened it for him to smoke, and Ma Dad also asked for one, holding the cigarette in his mouth to look at the compass, and led us to continue walking.
We all thought that we were walking in the right direction. Maybe we hadn't reached the place where we first met the big snake, so we couldn't see the river ditch. But after walking for half an hour, the surrounding environment became more and more unfamiliar.
, obviously an area we have never set foot in.
"Brother Ma, you will lead the way this time."
"I know what I know." Ma Dad scolded Zhang Hou impatiently, but I could see that he was also feeling guilty. He secretly held the compass and kept looking at it.
"Would you like to try walking in another direction?" Zhang Houhou asked tentatively.
"Isn't that further away from the starting point?" I thought. From the time we met the big snake to the time we entered the cave, we probably ran for about twenty minutes. With the death-defying speed at that time, it was really hard to estimate.
A very accurate distance. But after walking quickly for more than an hour, there shouldn't be much difference between the two.
"Let's walk a little longer. I don't believe in evil by nature, and I don't believe that you can't go to the original place if you follow the right direction. Lao Zhang, I'm warning you, after meeting the brigade this time, don't mention any nonsense suggestions, and come back immediately.
there."
Afraid of making another mistake, Ma Dad held the compass in his hand and led the way. After walking in fear for half an hour, my heart gradually became heavier. Now I was absolutely sure that we were lost.
