Ugly man is hard to marry

Chapter 22 A Helping Hand

Fang Yunxuan wanted to hide, but it was faster than the big snake. Just as the thought of dodging came to his mind, the snake was already in front of him.Fang Yunxuan closed his eyes in fright, thinking that he was done.

There were two light slaps in the ears, and then the sound of the snake's body falling.

Fang Yunxuan hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw Du Yishan standing alone, as if falling from the sky.I don't know when he pulled the machete that Xia Yunxuan chopped into the tree trunk, let alone how he saved his life in an instant.

The dead snake on the ground was broken into several pieces, and now I just feel scared when I see it.Fang Yunxuan trembled slightly, his feet went limp.

Du Yishan wiped off the blood on the knife head, looked back at Fang Yunxuan, and curled the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly.He thought that he would remember this moment in his life, remember how Fang Yunxuan swung his machete clumsily, then took out the posture of killing a pig, and walked straight towards the big tree with arrogance.

"Are you OK?"

Fang Yunxuan folded his arms, shook his head and said, "No, it's fine."

After stroking his arm twice, Fang Yunxuan controlled his body and squatted down to pick up the dead snake on the ground.Round, slippery, and cold to the touch, Fang Yunxuan's hairs stood on end when he picked up a piece, and couldn't help shaking again.

Du Yishan hurriedly knelt down to help him, picked up the dead snake and threw it into the basket beside Fang Yunxuan, and asked him, "What are you doing to provoke it? This is a five-step snake. As the name suggests, if you are bitten by it, you will definitely die within five steps." .”

Before cutting it, Fang Yunxuan knew that the snake was poisonous. As mentioned earlier, he could not catch it, but he could pick it out and recognize it. Snake banquet is a kind of cuisine. How could Fang Yunxuan not have studied the species and habits of snakes.

Fang Yunxuan stood up and smiled towards the sun, "I'm a cook, of course I catch snakes for eating."

Fang Yunxuan was facing the fiery red sun, and the sun was particularly dazzling after the rain. Fang Yunxuan spoke proudly and confidently as if he was the king of the world.Du Yishan looked at him, and suddenly felt that this figure was covered with a halo of sunlight, and his whole body was shining with colorful luster.

On the way back to the ruined temple, Fang Yunxuan asked Du Yishan how he found him.

Du Yishan didn't reply, the expression on his face suddenly changed, the machete was clenched tightly in his hand, the emotion in his eyes gradually changed, from unwillingness to anger, and from anger to helplessness, the last look of sadness lingered in his eyes all the time He didn't leave, making his whole person gloomy.

Fang Yunxuan realized that what he asked might have touched Du Yishan's mind, and he was just chatting for nothing, so he didn't expect him to answer, and walked slowly ahead with a basket on his back, deliberately keeping some distance from Du Yishan.

"You stole my knife!"

Du Yishan suddenly made a sound, and Fang Yunxuan almost fell down when he heard the reason. He turned around and stared at Du Yishan. It is Du Yishan's saber.

Du Yishan has been following him since he came out of the ruined temple. When Fang Yunxuan took the scimitar, Du Yishan had already woken up. He didn't make a sound to remind him, but just watched Fang Yunxuan take his knife out of the temple gate quietly. Du Yishan thought He knew what Fang Yunxuan was going to do with his knife, so he followed him all the way until he failed to cut the snake and was almost killed in Shekou.

This machete has been with Du Yishan for ten years, fighting bloody battles with him. After countless battles, big and small, the blade has been cut and slashed countless times. Du Yishan is still reluctant to throw it away, repairing it , Re-smelted with steel, after so many years, this knife is still worn by my side.

This knife is already a testament to Du Yishan's glorious years. Just looking at it, Du Yishan seems to still be able to hear the sound of horns being closed on the edge of Qixingling, and feel the pride of the strong west wind and the rolling yellow sand.

It's a pity that now, the general has removed his armor, and the precious sword has returned to its sheath. This sword, as well as this general, are useless.

Du Yi held the scabbard, drew out the scimitar, and held the knife in his hand.

A cold swipe passed by, Du Yishan looked at the sky and slashed obliquely, made two false cuts, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid this knife can only be used to chop firewood and catch snakes in the future."

Fang Yunxuan suddenly realized that the sadness in Du Yishan's words was the unwillingness to display his ambitions, the dissatisfaction with years of hard work and nothing in return, and the loss of what to do about the future.

His heart also became heavy. Fang Yunxuan wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't find any words. Du Yishan was as resolute and tenacious as a rock. In front of people, he is still as calm and silent as ever. He will always be a strong man, and a strong man does not need sympathy.

Fang Yunxuan shook his head, laughing that he thought too much, why bother to think about his state of mind as a passer-by.

After walking a few steps forward, Fang Yunxuan lazily stretched his waist, turned his head and smiled and said, "General Du, a knife is a knife, as long as it is useful, it doesn't matter what it does to chop firewood and catch snakes!"

Du Yishan could hear it clearly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly understood: "Yes, as long as it's a good knife, it's the same wherever you use it."

Back at the ruined temple, Wei Chongyan and the other brothers had already woken up, because Brother Nan didn't see Fang Yunxuan when he got up, and cried because he was wronged.

Brother Nan doesn't like crowded places, and he's especially afraid of strangers. Wei Chongyan and the others don't care about trifles, never trim their appearance, have long beards and don't trim them, and their hair is messy, all of them look like long-haired monsters Yes, it's okay if you don't coax him, but once you coax him, Nan Ge'er is even more frightened, and he doesn't dare to cry loudly. He purses his mouth and twitches softly.

A group of elders were completely at a loss, and they searched in a hurry. When Fang Yunxuan came in, Wei Chongyan went out to look for him.

"You're back, come quickly, Brother Nan can't find you, he's crying."

Wei Chongyan yelled anxiously, pulled Fang Yunxuan past him, dragged him and ran into the ruined temple, Du Yishan followed the two of them, and also quickly entered the temple.

As soon as Brother Nan saw Fang Yunxuan, he rushed forward, shouted: "Daddy!" and cried loudly.

Fang Yunxuan picked up Brother Nan, patted him on the back lightly, and coaxed him with a shake: "Brother Nan doesn't cry, it's because of my father."

Wei Chongyan scratched his head, looked at it for a while, and then said with a frown: "You brat, none of us can coax you, so we want to find your father. That's great, your father can be regarded as being locked up by you. I have to take you with me to the next hut!"

It took a while for Brother Nan to stop crying. Fang Yunxuan put him down, patted Brother Nan's little head, took him to wash up, cleaned up, and let him play alone for a while so that he could make breakfast by himself.

Brother Nan pulled Fang Yunxuan by the hem of his clothes, and followed him every step of the way. Fang Yunxuan saw his eagerness, so he had to take Nan brother to cook together.

Wash all kinds of wild vegetables, blanch them with cold salad, boil soup in the pot, and there is only one dead snake left to deal with.

Fang Yunxuan pondered, the snake meat is delicious, and it should not be made too finely, otherwise it will destroy the taste of the snake meat itself. It is better to cut it into snake sections, string them with twigs, roast them over a fire and sprinkle with refined salt, and eat them in the most essential way. taste.

After making up his mind, Fang Yunxuan took the dead snake and started to peel the snake's skin.Just as he was about to slash, he caught sight of Brother Nan and didn't want him to see the blood, so he stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Nan, go play with Uncle Wei, Dad will be there in a while."

Brother Nan didn't say a word, stared at Fang Yunxuan with red eyes, and shook his head with puffy cheeks.

Fang Yunxuan was in a dilemma, Du Yishan came over, took the kitchen knife in his hand, and asked, "I'm here, how do I chop it?"

Fang Yunxuan looked at him suspiciously, "Would you know it?" Such a person, who has never even been in the kitchen, would skin a snake?

Du Yishan was expressionless, playing with the dead snake in his hand, and wiped the snake's body with the back of a knife, "I have also eaten grass roots and bark, and I often eat pheasants and live rabbits." But it was the first time to eat snakes.

Only then did Fang Yunxuan feel relieved, pointing at the snake's head, and said: "Pick off the snake's head, don't throw away the snake's skin, the snake is full of treasures, but it's a pity that it's dead and can't take the snake's venom, otherwise it's a good painkiller. "

According to what Fang Yunxuan said, Du Yishan quickly cut the snake's head with a knife, peeled off the snake's skin with his hands, disemboweled the snake, cleaned the internal organs, and took out the snake's gallbladder and handed it to Fang Yunxuan, "Eat it."

Fang Yunxuan knew that it was a good thing, it could clear the liver and improve eyesight, but this bloody thing was really hard to eat just like this.

Du Yishan held the snake gall in one hand, and leaned his body slightly. His body was sideways, his eyes were as calm as water, and he kept looking at the expression on Fang Yunxuan's face.

Fang Yunxuan felt that peeling gaze again, and suddenly became choked up, as if if he didn't eat the snake gall at this moment, he would look hypocritical and not manly enough.

Taking a deep breath, he pinched the snake gall and put it in his mouth. There was no bloody smell as expected, but the bitter taste was particularly dignified and lingered in the mouth for a long time.

Fang Yunxuan's face was wrinkled in pain, his eyebrows were knit together, and he couldn't open his mouth.Looking up, as expected, I saw a smile flashing across Du Yishan's face.I felt even more depressed: Brother, even if I use your knife to chop trees and catch snakes, don't play tricks on me like this.
