"Please sit down and take your time." Wang Yao made him a cup of tea. "Who died? What is the cause of death?"
"Li Zulai in the east of the village," Wang Fengming said. "He died at the junction of Dongshan Mountain and Nanshan Mountain. I don't know the specific cause yet. Maybe he was scared. He had heart disease."
"Scared?"
Wang Yao asked. "The weather has been warm recently. Some people in the village went up the mountain to gather grass. A few people have seen snakes on Nanshan Mountain. One of them was a black snake. It was several meters long. You have been on the mountain for a long time. Have you seen it? "Wang Fengming asked.
Xiaohei!
As soon as he said that, he knew that it was that black snake.
"I know about the snake. In fact, I was the one who saved the snake." Wang Yao didn't hide anything from this kind and honest elder and told him directly.
"Hiss, this is a bit troublesome," Wang Fengming said.
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
"Some people in the village said you raised snakes on Nanshan Mountain. Li Zulai was scared to death by a snake."
This was a bit troublesome. According to this, Li Zulai's death had a lot to do with him. It was like when you were bitten by a dog, the first thing you thought of was whose dog it was. You wanted to find the owner of the dog instead of biting it back.
"There is more than one snake on Nanshan Mountain," Wang Fengming said.
"More than one?" Wang Yao said. "Hiss, I often see one recently. It's that black snake."
Wang Yao also found that the black snake was very intelligent. It knew what he meant and became a guard of Nanshan Mountain. It patrolled the mountain with the dog day and night. People were generally afraid of snakes, especially big snakes.
"Thank you for coming to remind me," Wang Yao said.
"Hey, we are family. Don't mention it," Wang Fengming said. He had been thinking about Wang Yao's good points.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Uncle, have you sold your old house?"
Wang Fengming asked. "I sold it to buy a new house for my son. Your aunt and I live in the village. It is good," Wang Fengming said.
"Okay."
Wang Yao walked him out of the door before returning to the clinic.
In the mountain village, death was a big deal. In this small mountain village, the surname Wang was the main surname. Other than that, there were also surnames Chen and Li. Basically, people with the same surname were related and could be talked about.
Soon, the news of the old man's death spread in a certain area.
At least, during lunch, Zhang Xiuying mentioned this to Wang Yao.
"Sigh, I'm getting old and my heart isn't good. Why would I go up the mountain and gather grass? Why did he have to go to Nanshan Hill of all places? " The last sentence was the main point. After all, he was biased towards his son. He had also heard the rumors in the village.
"Yao, are there really snakes on the mountain?"
"Yes, and I am very familiar with one of them," Wang Yao said with a smile. What he said was very interesting.
"Very familiar with you? How familiar?"
"I once saved a black snake. It was very intelligent," Wang Yao said.
"There really is one."
Wang Fenghua didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and ate.
After lunch, he asked, "Does the snake bite people?"
"As long as you don't hurt it, it won't bite people," Wang Yao said. "It's the same as San Xian."
"Sigh, what if it scares people again?" Zhang Xiuying was worried.
"That's the effect I want," Wang Yao said softly.
"What?!" His parents were shocked.
"Dad, Mom, I don't want outsiders to get close to Nanshan Hill. You also know that there are many secrets on Nanshan Hill that can't be known by outsiders," Wang Yao said.
On Nanshan Hill, there were too many shocking things. The Spirit Gathering Battle Array, the licorice roots in the herbal field, and the wonderful feeling of comfort …
"Of course, I don't want people to die. It's unexpected." Under the shocked and worried gaze of his parents, Wang Yao calmly said.
"San Xian, Da Ying, and the black snake are my guardians."
There was silence.
Zhang Xiuying looked at her son. Wang Fenghua smoked silently.
"There will be other people on the hill," Zhang Xiuying whispered.
"San Xian and Xiaohei will patrol the hill. I've arranged some things on the hill," Wang Yao said.
The first thing to do was to make the people in the village afraid of the hill. Fear was contagious. If they were afraid, they wouldn't go up the hill.
The death of the old man was an accident, but it would also have an unexpected effect.
"Sigh!" Zhang Xiuying sighed.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry too much."
"It's good that you know what you're doing," Wang Fenghua said.
After lunch, Wang Yao returned to the clinic.
After taking Wang Yao away, Zhang Xiuying came to her husband and asked worriedly, "Do you think our son has changed?"
"Yes, he has changed," Wang Fenghua said.
"This hill belongs to the village. We need to farm, graze animals, and collect grass." Zhang Xiuying said these things were indispensable to the villagers' lives.
"Half of the houses in the village have been sold," Wang Fenghua said. "Many people will move out by then. Besides, half of Dongshan Mountain and Xishan Mountain have been contracted by others."
"There is a large area under the hill."
Between the east and west hills was a wide and long open space. The main cultivated land in the village was there. The cultivated land on the hill was mainly concentrated in the north part of Dongshan Mountain and Xishan Mountain near the village. Because Nanshan Mountain was far away, it would take at least an hour to go back and forth from the village. It was not convenient to get water, and agricultural equipment could not be driven up there. Except for grazing, there was no cultivated land.
The conversation between the couple soon ended because there were guests. They were the villagers.
At about 1 p.m., the siblings were on Xishan Mountain.
"Don't go any further!" Looking at the rocks in front of her, Chen Ying had a very bad feeling.
The rocks blocked the mountain road to the south.
"This is arranged by someone," she said with certainty.
"Sir?" Chen Zhou asked.
"Most likely, he doesn't want anyone to go forward," Chen Ying said.
The place where the two of them were was at the border of Xishan Mountain and Nanshan Mountain. In fact, the mountains were connected. There was no obvious boundary. In front of them was the incomplete stone battle array set by Wang Yao. Last time, it had almost trapped two people who had mistakenly entered it.
"Shall we go back?"
The siblings turned around and went back.
Somewhere on Xishan Mountain. Baa! A sheep went up the mountain for some reason.
It sniffed the ground as it walked. A pit was in front of it. The flat ground had sunk. The soil was a strange black and gray. In the pit, there was a withered plant.
Baa! This dumb sheep stood at the edge of the pit. Crash! The soil at the edge of the pit was not solid to begin with, so it collapsed under the sheep's stomp. Then, the sheep fell into the pit, causing dust to fly everywhere.
The sheep didn't fall. It just shook its head a few times. It seemed to be thinking about what had just happened. It wanted to jump up, but it didn't succeed after several attempts. It was very strange. The sheep, which was good at moving on the mountain, couldn't climb up.
It felt strange no matter how it looked at it.
It also felt strange, so it kept shaking its head.
Finally, it climbed up.
In the village, there was a family.
"Lao Wang, you only know how to drink. The sheep in our house is gone!" a middle-aged woman shouted into the house.
The pen was still there, but the sheep inside was nowhere to be found.
There was a gap in the door.
"Oh no!" A man rushed out of the house. He still smelled of alcohol.
A sheep was worth hundreds of yuan!
At this time, the sky had already darkened.
"This damn sheep!" The man was looking for the sheep in the nearby mountains. He cursed in a low voice.
Baa!
He heard the sound of the sheep. Following the sound, he found the sheep. It was gnawing on a tree.
"You silly sheep!" He went forward and grabbed the sheep's ear. He slapped it twice.
Baa! The sheep looked at him innocently.
"Let's go home."
By the time he returned home with the goat, the sky had already turned completely dark.
After dinner, Wang Yao went up the hill early.
"San Xian, where is Blackie?" After entering the herbal field, Wang Yao called San Xian.
After a while, the black snake appeared in front of him.
"Blackie, are there other snakes on the mountain?"
Although the black snake was intelligent, it was not human. It was far less intelligent than San Xian. Naturally, it didn't really understand what Wang Yao meant.
"Forget it, you can go."
He patted the snake's head. The black snake left again.
"San Xian, are there other snakes on the mountain besides Blackie?"
Woof! San Xian responded.
