Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"Brother Zhang, take the realgar!"

Hearing the noises in the darkness around him and seeing the long worms moving freely among the bones, Li Xiangnan calmly waved his hands.

"Is it enough?" Zhang Jingyang took off the bag on his back, took out a small cloth bag, and reached out to grab a handful of realgar and held it in his hand.

Although he was a little worried, he still waved it towards the few people and drew a circle.

This was bought in Hongshan County this morning. It was not summer, so the pharmacies did not have much in stock. Li Xiangnan asked Zhang Jingyang to buy all of it, but he only managed to fill a small cloth bag.

But something is better than nothing!

After passing the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, the group had no better idea. This was the result of their discussion last night.

"Just make do with it for now! Fatty!" Li Xiangnan said and then shouted again.

Sonorous!

Wang Defa immediately took off the firewood knife from his back, distributed it to the two people, and then pulled it out of the wooden box.

A knife for self-defense, realgar for repelling snakes, and a little liquor, these are all the preparations the three of them made!

Of course, there is also a brave heart.

The wine was in Li Xiangnan's backpack.

He flipped open his backpack and took out a bottle of wine brewed by his father. The hot smell of wine immediately filled his nose. He tilted his head back and took a sip without thinking, then handed it to Wang Defa with a grin.

"Gulp!" The fat man took a big gulp without hesitation, and a trough of fire formed from his mouth, throat to his stomach.

Next is Zhang Jingyang.

The three of them each took a big gulp of the liquor, and it turned out that the liquor made the cowards braver.

When I looked at the white bones around me, I felt a little braver.

The cave entrance behind them was only a few steps away from them, so it was easy to go back!

But once you come in, there is no way out!

Li Xiangnan didn't want to retreat, and he never had the thought of retreating.

Wang Defa and Zhang Jingyang were even less willing to risk their lives for their brothers. Now they were in the midst of fire and swords, so they were just trying to get through it!

"go!"

Li Xiangnan waved his hand and led the way forward.

Wang and Zhang followed closely, holding the knives tightly in their hands.

Heat was everywhere, and waves of heat came from the depths of the darkness, making the three people who had just drunk the strong liquor soon feel hot all over.

This is obviously because there are hot springs in the mountains.

No wonder this Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is still effective even in winter, protecting the Jiang family village deep in the mountains.

If nothing goes wrong, this winding and beautiful snake cave is the city wall that surrounds the entire village!

Strangers are not allowed to approach.

Anyone who is not of my kind will die!

On the cave wall a few steps away, these two sentences were engraved in vigorous and powerful words, which made Li Xiangnan and the other two deeply understand them.

There were fluorites dotting the darkness along the way, allowing the three people holding flashlights to feel a little brightness.

Before long, rustling sounds became louder, followed by the gurgling sound of a spring and countless crawling sounds, inexplicably ringing around the three people.

"Brother Zhang, spread the realgar quickly!"

Various snakes kept hanging from the head. In the darkness, it was impossible to tell whether it was a triangular head. Wang Defa reminded anxiously.

"It's already spilled. My cloth bag is almost empty!" Zhang Jingyang's voice was a little helpless.

Li Xiangnan didn't expect it to happen so quickly!

Because they only walked a distance of forty or fifty meters and did not reach the depths of the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes at all.

Otherwise, why would the black man say that he would wait for them for six hours!

I believe that even if you walk this distance, it will take several hours, not to mention overcoming the psychological shock and attacks of poisonous snakes along the way!

"Oh my god! Xiao Li, something just crawled over my feet!"

Zhang Jingyang was walking beside Li Xiangnan when he suddenly shuddered and couldn't help but shout out.

"Don't panic!"

Li Xiangnan frowned and reminded him.

Now there is no need to doubt what it is!

It's a snake!

Now several people have begun to slowly enter the hinterland, and they are bound to encounter snakes head-on!

The most important thing is to keep a stable mentality!

"I'm not panicking! I just can't see clearly, so I feel a little guilty!"

"Brother Zhang, everyone feels guilty! Let me switch places with you!" Wang Defa was the last one to come, and although he was also nervous, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

"No, no! I'm a worthless person, I won't give up even if I get bitten by a snake again..."

Zhang Jingyang waved his hands to signal that there was no need to change seats, but before he could finish his words, he heard Wang Defa's teeth chattering behind him, and he knew that the other party was actually scared to death.

"what happened to you?"

Li Xiangnan was walking when he suddenly felt the fat man pulling his backpack. He stopped and looked back.

Two flashlights shone on Wang Defa's face, which was pale and sweaty.

"Down below..." Wang Defa swallowed his saliva, pouted his lips and lowered his head to indicate with grievance.

Li Xiangnan and Zhang Jingyang lowered their heads at the same time, and their hair stood on end.

Two black snakes were already coiled around Wang Defa's calves, and one of the snakes even opened its mouth and bit his ankle.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Li Xiangnan felt cold all over his pores, but he still comforted the other party, "We have tied wooden boards to our legs, it can't bite through! Don't kick it!"

"Okay... okay..." Wang Defa said tremblingly, closed his eyes, and seemed to resign himself to his fate.

Li Xiangnan stretched out his firewood knife and gently hooked the black snake as thick as his arm. After several attempts, he finally hooked it down and gently placed it on the side of the road. Looking back, he saw that the other snake seemed to feel bored and swam away by itself.

All three of them breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"The snake just now should be a black-banded snake, it's not poisonous!" Li Xiangnan suddenly frowned and turned his head to look around, "No, the snakes here are not very aggressive!"

"Xiao Li, you shouldn't say that!" Wang Defa said with lingering fear: "If you are a jinx, I will pee in your mouth! I am really about to pee..."

"Shh!"

Li Xiangnan suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him and looked above his head.

Several people held their breath and listened.

Then they heard footsteps above their heads.

Very slight, very slight.

I hardly listened carefully, and I couldn't distinguish anything in such a noisy and verbose environment!

Is there someone walking up there? Does the Jiang family have a secret passage up there?

Li Xiangnan listened carefully, squatted down silently, and looked at the snakes rolling and surging around the three people with a flashlight. Finally, he looked at the back of his hand and smiled slightly.

"I know, snakes won't bite us! The snake just now got entangled with you by accident! If you don't believe me, let's keep going!"

After saying that, he started walking towards the depths of the cave with big strides.

"Fuck, Xiao Li, don't scare me, what do you know? Are you so sure? Wait for me!"

After saying that, Wang Defa didn't care about anything else and pulled Zhang Jingyang to chase after him.

……

And at this time.

Lijiacun Brigade.

The brigade secretary Li Fugen ran as fast as he could on the mountain path, running breathlessly all the way from the brigade headquarters to Li Xiangnan's house.

"Fugui, Qiuju, open the door! I'm in a hurry, in a hurry! I'm Fugen! Open the door!"

In the yard, Zhu Qiuju and her two sisters-in-law had already started preparing for the New Year. They were frying meatballs at home. When they heard the sound, they looked at each other in confusion.

Ji Qingfang: "Sister-in-law, how about... I go open the door and ask what's going on? Fugen shouldn't be sending anything!"

Tong Yu shook her head and said, "I'd better go. It would be hard for Qiu Ju to talk to me if she goes. I can still refuse her!"

"If it's Fugen..." Zhu Qiuju murmured, and shook her head, "I'd better go! He knows his limits! If there's anything, I can talk to him through the door!"

After saying that, Zhu Qiuju wiped her hands and quickly went to the door. The two sisters-in-law behind her looked at each other and looked towards the door nervously.

"Fugen, what's the matter?" Zhu Qiuju asked straight to the point.

"Qiu Ju, it's you! That's great. The county just called and said that a project team from above is coming to our village to conduct research on schistosomiasis. They asked our team to be ready to welcome them!"

"Fugen, you are the secretary, why don't you discuss this matter with a few cadres in your brigade headquarters and just receive him however you want? Why do you come to ask us? Do you want to stay at our house?" Zhu Qiuju was very confused.

Li Fugen sighed outside, "If only it were that simple. The leader said he wanted to stay at your house by name, and this time..."

At this point, Li Fugen didn't know what to say. The situation was indeed a bit tricky and particularly embarrassing.

But when I thought about the people coming soon, I couldn't help but say it...

"And what? Fulgrim, tell me!"

"Also, the one who used to live in your house...Xiang Nan's wife, no, his ex-wife Lin Chuqiao is here too!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiuju lost her composure for the first time. She opened the gate and exclaimed, "My ex-daughter-in-law Lin Chuqiao wants to live in our house?"
