Reborn as a snake, creating a magic method in the real world
Chapter 91 A rare and magical scene
Chapter 91 A rare and magical scene
All the animals in the jungle came to life, and their mung bean-sized eyes were like radar, constantly patrolling back and forth among the herbs.
Small rodents such as squirrels and rabbits poked their little heads out among the wide leaves, as if they were looking for something.
From time to time, flying birds startled, hovering in the sky, and occasionally swooped down. When they reappeared, there was a touch of green on the bird's claws or beak.
The always silent forest is like a pot of boiling water. There have never been so many animals, constantly shuttling among the plants or vines.
If there were humans here, they would definitely find an extremely magical scene.
Because most animals hold several green plants in their mouths or on their claws.
For example, a car was driving windingly on the winding mountain road at this time.
"I heard from the professor that there is a tomb nearby. Let's explore the situation first."
"Did the professor tell you what kind of tomb is nearby?"
"According to relevant records, it may be from the Han Dynasty or the Qin Dynasty, but the details need to be further investigated. We are here to explore the way first, and the professor is waiting for us to bring the news back."
"According to historical records, there may be a relatively large tomb group here."
"If that's the case, it would definitely be a big project."
There were several people sitting in the car, all of whom looked relatively young. They were an archaeological team from the foggy capital. There was news that there seemed to be an ancient tomb from the Song Dynasty nearby.
While everyone is talking.
Xiao Li, who was driving in front, suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the tires made a scratching sound against the ground.
Everyone's bodies leaned forward under the inertia, but fortunately they were wearing seat belts and there were no major problems.
"Xiao Li, why are you driving?"
"Yes, it's very dangerous. Let's go slow to avoid any accidents. It's so deep in the mountains and forests, it's not easy to find someone to repair it."
Xiao Li slowed down the car and said sheepishly, "Sorry, a dark shadow just passed in front of the windshield."
After taking a closer look, I realized it was a bird, and it turned out to be a false alarm.
Birds could be seen circling in the sky not far away, heading towards the mountains, forming a black line that divided the sky into several plates.
At this time, the sunset has already set, and a red sun sinks in the mountains and sea. The birds return to the forest, bringing countless sunset lights and falling on the treetops. Even from a certain distance, it looks very spectacular.
Everyone couldn't help but roll down their car windows, wanting to see more clearly, "Why are there so many birds suddenly?"
And all these birds are hovering in one place, huffing and puffing, looking densely packed.
"There are many mountains and dense forests here, and many plants grow there. It is normal for there to be many birds."
"I heard that we encountered herds of wild buffalo and antelopes on the road before."
The archaeological team did not take this matter to heart. After all, the ecological environment here is good and it is normal for there to be a rich variety of wild animals.
"Let's move on."
Soon the smoke was rising, and the surrounding houses and buildings became denser, no longer the deserted appearance they had before.
The archaeological team's vehicles also wound their way down the mountain road to the town.
Township cadres received the news and rushed to greet the archaeological team when they saw it.
"Hello, are you the archaeological team coming from the city?"
Several people nodded and said hello: "Hello."
"The city has already greeted us. If you need any help, just ask and don't be polite to us."
"Our main purpose here this time is to be a pioneer, to explore the path. We will report the situation to the city only after the investigation is clear, and then the archaeological team will come. So this time we are traveling lightly, and the mayor does not need to No matter how you arrange it, just have a place to stay."
After a brief introduction between the two parties, the township cadres enthusiastically welcomed the few people in, "Let's not stand here talking. Have you eaten yet? I have already prepared the meal."
Regarding the news that there is a tomb nearby, it is very likely that it will be a large tomb. The city is paying more attention to it, so it has sent an archaeological team down. They have already said hello in advance and asked the people below to work with the archaeological team and others.
It's just that these people came to explore the road first and check it out by the way.
After everyone had had enough food and drinks, they also stayed in a hotel above the town. After a day of running around, they were tired and planned to go on a field trip tomorrow.
When the archaeological team rested and prepared to set off the next day, the township cadre learned of their destination and said:
"The place you are talking about happens to be in Longyuan Mountain. There are several villages nearby. When the time comes, I will ask the nearby villagers to guide you. The locals will be more familiar with it."
The township cadres finally chose Longyuan Village because this village had a relatively strong presence recently and a lot of things had happened, so that the town knew about this village.
He took them to Longyuan Village and went directly to the village chief Liu Deming to tell them about the matter.
It's just a matter of sending someone to lead the way, which is a piece of cake for the village chief.
"I happen to have some free time, so I'll take you for a walk."
The township cadres will feel relieved after hearing this, so I will hand them over to you.
Some villagers saw the township cadres, but the people next to them looked a little strange.
"This seems to be Cadre Li from the town. Why are you looking for the village chief? It seems that the people next to him have never seen him."
"I heard that people from the city came here for archeology."
"Archaeology? What is that for?"
"It seems like they were going to dig some kind of grave or ancient tomb."
"Hey, are they just legal tomb robbers?"
"I guess so? I heard that there might be a big tomb on the mountain near us! There might be some cultural relics inside."
"Ah, wouldn't there be something valuable there? How about we go dig for it too?"
"What are you thinking? Even if these things are dug up, they don't belong to us. They have to be handed over to the country."
"You can't tell that our place is still a geomantic treasure."
Everyone was talking about it. Previously, an observatory came over to take pictures of the lunar eclipse, and now an archaeological team came over, saying that there were cultural relics nearby.
"I would say it's all thanks to the mountain god, who has turned our place into a treasure land."
This sentence was agreed by most people.
The village chief waved his hands to a few people, "Follow me. We'll set off early while it's still early. Where you want to go, you have to climb over this mountain."
Just as a group of people were preparing to enter the mountain, they did not expect that the village chief suddenly changed direction and walked towards the building at the foot of the mountain.
The village chief patted his head and said with some annoyance: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot something important. Please wait for me."
The others looked at each other, and they all saw confusion and confusion in each other's eyes.
There is a strange building not far away. People are coming and going, and it looks very lively.
"Didn't you say you were going into the mountains? Why are you here suddenly?"
The people on the archaeological team were a little puzzled.
The village chief explained: "This is a habit in our village. Now everyone on the mountain must first pay homage to the mountain god."
Ever since the villagers knew that this mountain was shrouded by the mountain god, in order to show their respect, they would burn a few sticks of incense and worship before going up the mountain. Anyway, the temple is at the foot of the mountain, so it was okay to go there.
"Worship the mountain god? You still have this habit."
The people in the archaeological team were a little puzzled, but they didn't say anything. After all, customs are different in each place.
Over the years, they have traveled to many places in search of ancient tombs, and there are even weirder customs than this, so they don't think it's anything.
The archaeological team stood at the door of the temple and did not enter.
But there were people coming and going all around, and it was obvious that the incense was very strong, and everyone's face was very pious and respectful, and it was obvious that they believed sincerely.
"I didn't expect that there is such a temple in this small and remote village, and there are quite a lot of believers."
"Who says it isn't? I remember we went to a place before, and the people there believed in the river god."
"Each place has different beliefs, especially in remote mountain villages like this. Some places even retain older customs."
"It should be a local idol."
The archaeological team has traveled far and wide and seen a lot, so they didn't think it was strange and just made a few comments.
Soon the village chief and the others walked out of the temple, "Okay, let's go into the mountain."
There is a lot of vegetation on the mountain, the grass grows vigorously, and the broad leaves block a lot of light.
Before entering the mountain, a cool mountain breeze came to us.
The group of people were about to set off towards the mountain, but the bushes next to them suddenly began to shake, and the rustling sound was heard all the time, which instantly attracted their attention.
Everyone became a little wary.
"Hey, what's that sound?"
"There must be no snakes."
They quickly followed the location of the movement and looked over.
In the bushes, mung bean-sized eyes flickered at everyone, and he shook his big fluffy tail proudly.
A squirrel quickly sprang out from inside, crossing an afterimage in the air, and happened to collide with the archaeological team and others entering the mountain.
Seeing that it was a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The village chief explained in due course, "Our village is close to a mountain, and small animals will run down from time to time. This is normal."
But as soon as the village chief finished speaking, another white shadow floated in front of his eyes, and it skipped over with its long ears.
Then a few more voles scurried out, leaving afterimages in the air.
The village chief squinted his eyes, looked at the direction in which these animals were leaving, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Why do I feel like they are heading towards the village?"
Logically speaking, these animals shouldn't come out so frequently in broad daylight, and the village chief couldn't understand why so many small animals suddenly came down the mountain.
Could there be some strange changes in the mountains?
He glanced at the lush mountain forest not far away, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
Just when everyone was puzzled.
"Roar--"
A low roar loomed, and the village chief's expression changed. "It sounds like some ferocious beast is coming down the mountain."
Although there are ferocious beasts on the mountain, most of them avoid people. There has never been an example of a ferocious beast taking the initiative to come down the mountain to hurt people, but occasionally some wild boars will accidentally run down and harm crops.
But that was a long time ago.
The village chief thought about it a little more. There are several roads down the mountain that lead to the village. This makes sense. These small animals may have been frightened by the beast, so they ran down the mountain in a hurry.
If a ferocious beast really comes down, be sure to remind the villagers, and the village chief will turn back just in case.
"I'm sorry, the situation has changed now, I'm afraid we have to go back first, and if there is a wild beast, it won't be safe for the few of us."
The members of the archaeological team also expressed understanding and listened to others' advice to eat enough and did not forcibly enter the mountain.
However, when everyone hurried back to the village, they were shocked by the scene they saw in front of them.
"This, this is—"
Dozens of small animals, in addition to the common small animals such as rabbits and voles, as well as carnivores such as weasels, foxes, and hyenas, all came to the entrance of the village.
They seemed to have overcome the bloodthirsty instinct in their bodies and turned a blind eye to the delicious food around them. Those timid herbivores did not even run away when they saw their natural enemies.
They all entered the village in an orderly manner. They were obviously beasts, but they seemed to abide by human order.
The scene before me was grotesque and absurd.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined that there are times when natural enemies can coexist peacefully, which completely goes against the common sense and nature of living things.
Animals have certain gregarious migration behaviors, but only if they belong to the same population.
<divclass="contentadv">Nowadays, different types of animals, weeds and carnivores are mixed together and migrating towards human villages, as if there is some mysterious force driving their actions.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that such strange things could happen in the world. There really were all kinds of strange things in the world.
"I, I must be dreaming, why are there so many animals here?"
Several members of the archaeological team were dumbfounded, and these animals had blocked the entrance to the village. For a while, the village chief and others did not dare to act rashly.
The archaeological team felt that the village chief next to him was a little too quiet.
When I turned around, I saw that not only was there no fear on his face, but it was full of piety and respect. He even clasped his hands and worshiped there.
The archaeological team was puzzled by this move and couldn't help but remind them:
"Village Chief, these animals will not cause any harm to the village, right? Will the fields and livestock be affected? The top priority is to contact the people in the village and disperse them as soon as possible."
The village chief, who was previously worried that the beast would hurt people when it came down the mountain, was unexpectedly calm now and shook his head.
"This is the appearance of the mountain god."
"Don't worry. I originally thought there was something unusual in the mountain. Now it seems that these animals must have been guided by the mountain god, so there will be nothing wrong with them."
The archaeological team understood every word the village chief said, but when combined together, they were confused.
The members of the archaeological team were in disbelief, "Are you saying that these animals are controlled by the mountain god?"
I originally thought that the villagers just had ordinary beliefs, but I didn't expect them to be so superstitious.
Seeing the bewildered expressions of the archaeological team and others, the village chief comforted him, "Don't worry, these animals won't hurt us."
Seeing the village chief and others swearing, the archaeological team had extremely complicated expressions on their faces, obviously not believing it.
Although these animals do behave strangely, they are wild beasts after all, and who can guarantee that they will not hurt people or carry any viruses.
In the village, Wu Yuan was drying herbs.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on these days. Common herbs such as snake bed, angelica, barbata, and ephedra can't be found in the mountains. I clearly remember there are a lot of them."
Wu Yuan dried the medicinal materials in the yard and couldn't help but yawned, "Maybe it's because I'm old and my memory is bad."
Wu Yuan walked back to the inner hall, but did not notice that shortly after he left, a little squirrel came to the yard, as if it had discovered a new world.
As soon as his eyes lit up, he rushed to the pile of medicinal materials, sniffed with his little nose, kept shaking, and quickly left the yard.
When the squirrel came back again, it was followed by a group of squirrels.
At this moment, Wu Yuan was taking a nap in the lobby. He vaguely heard the chirping sound, but he thought it was the chirping of birds outside and didn't take it to heart.
Soon, the noise outside and the discussion of the villagers completely woke him up, and he walked out of the yard in confusion.
"what!"
The next second, an earth-shattering scream echoed through the sky.
"Where are my herbs!"
"Where did all my herbs go!"
In addition, similar scenes also played out in other villagers' homes.
The villagers were dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of them, somewhat at a loss.
Someone was holding a broom and was about to drive away, but was quickly stopped.
"You don't want your life. Can't you see that these little animals are spiritual? Maybe they came down from the mountain and were ordered by the mountain god."
"If you think about it carefully, why do so many small animals suddenly appear, and none of them are afraid of people? It's so abnormal, and something is obviously wrong."
Normally these animals would avoid strangers, but now they would not even take the initiative to enter the homes of villagers.
The villager holding the broom thought about it and thought that this was also the case. He suddenly slapped his head and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me. I almost offended the mountain god."
After saying that, he quickly bowed to those animals.
Not long after, chaos began in the village.
Some animals came out with basins in their mouths, and some animals had bowls on their heads.
From a distance, those who didn't know better thought that these pots and pans had legs and could walk on their own.
In addition to taking these things, the animals did not harm livestock or food. They seemed not to be interested in anything else. They took them and left without stopping.
This phenomenon further shows that they seem to be organized and orderly, and the villagers dare not disturb them for fear of upsetting the mountain gods.
Some villagers were taking a nap and knew nothing about it, while others saw it and thought they were hallucinating.
Zhuzi, who had just finished drinking at the house next door, was walking home when he accidentally kicked something.
A white bowl lay in the middle of the road, and then began to move slowly.
Zhuzi burped and couldn't help but rub his eyes, "Strange, how come I see the bowl has legs."
He squatted down and poked the bowl with his hand, and soon a little head popped out. It was actually a little field mouse, chirping at him, as if he was cursing someone.
Zhuzhu understood in an instant and quickly moved to the side, "Sorry for blocking the road."
The field mouse then put down the bowl and continued to move forward, chasing the team in front.
Zhuzi was still there stupidly, scratching his head, "It seems that I really drank too much, and I actually saw the field mouse moving the bowl."
After Zhu Zhu burped, he continued walking home.
At this time, the animals also left the village with their things, and the archaeological team and others were once again stunned.
I saw pots and pans with long legs not far away, and some of their big furry tails were still exposed. Although the scene was a bit strange, it was also inexplicably funny.
It is not uncommon for animals to move and carry their belongings with them, but it is a bit strange that so many animals are moving, and they are also moving pots and pans.
The members of the archaeological team couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and were dumbfounded. "Village chief, are you really not going to take care of it?"
The village chief also fell silent.
What do you care?
You can't just snatch the pots and pans back from the hands of these animals.
Those animals didn't stay long. They took these things and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The archaeological team and the village chief quickly returned to the village. Many villagers came out of their homes and talked about everything just now.
The village chief asked: "Is everyone okay?"
"Don't worry, village chief, everyone is fine."
If there was any loss, it would probably be that a few pots and pans were lost at home, but those were not worth much money. Calculating this, the loss was almost zero.
Those little animals seem to have intelligence and know that they can't just collect wool from one place, but take some from each household.
When divided evenly among each family, it’s really not that much.
Of course, the one who suffered the most heavy losses was Wu Yuan. He was the only barefoot doctor in the village, and all the herbs were looted by those little animals.
"It's really amazing. I was cooking at home, and suddenly a few weasels broke in. I was worried that they would get into trouble, but I only took a few bowls."
"Who says it's not the case? I was worried about those hyenas biting people, but they just grabbed a basin in their mouths."
"A few foxes also walked into my house. They felt like humans. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak for a long time."
When these animals suddenly appeared, the villagers were inevitably a little panicked, but they saw that the animals had no intention of harming them, and they were quickly replaced by curiosity and surprise.
"What do these animals do with pots and pans?"
"Animals definitely can't do this kind of thing. Maybe it's the mountain god who drives them. The key is what does the mountain god want these for? Could it be that the mountain god wants to cook?"
The mountain god's reputation was accidentally ruined, and he was even suspected of being hungry.
"I'm afraid you're not joking. Why does a mountain god still need to cook and eat?"
"Then tell me what the mountain god wants these for."
"Anyway, the mountain god must have his reasons, so let's not worry about it so much."
The village chief patted Wu Yuan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Old Wu, don't be too sad. Your herbs were picked from the mountain anyway. Now it's natural for the mountain god to take them back."
Wu Yuan nodded and quickly looked away, "After all, the mountain god has saved the entire village. Not to mention these herbs, even asking for a little more is not too much."
"It's a good idea for you to think so."
"But let's face it, what does the mountain god want all this for?"
The members of the archaeological team had complicated expressions when they heard the villagers' discussion.
Although the behavior of these animals is indeed unconventional and very strange, it can be said that there has never been such a record.
They broke into the village and took away the pots, pans, and herbs. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have definitely thought that someone had made up the story.
But now these phenomena are happening right under their noses.
Unfortunately, they are not zoologists and cannot explore the reasons behind these animal behaviors.
But it doesn't mean that everything can be related to the mountain god, but these villagers still believe in it.
The people in the archaeological team discussed this a lot.
"What do these villagers think? They can blame the mountain god for everything."
It’s not easy for others to comment, “Forget it, let’s just do our own thing.”
The people in the archaeological team did not believe in the theory of mountain gods, but the behavior of these animals was indeed abnormal, and they gave up after thinking for a long time.
After all, nature is full of wonders, so it can’t really be a mountain god controlling these animals.
Ye Qin, who was on the mountain, quickly saw the pile of pots and pans. Those small animals were like offering treasures, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded.
In an instant, the originally quiet mountain suddenly smelled of fireworks, and now there was only no fire for cooking.
"You don't need so much"
This cannot be blamed on these animals. Although they received Ye Qin's instructions, their spiritual intelligence was not enlightened after all.
They only had a rough impression of the utensils Ye Qin described, and they didn't know exactly what he wanted.
So as long as they can be installed, they have moved them all.
Ye Qin was picking and choosing inside, and finally settled on a large vat. As for the other things, the capacity was too small and was not suitable.
Ye Qin asked them to return them to their original owners.
The little animals did not complain about Ye Qin's instructions, and quickly picked up the pots and pans and ran down the mountain.
So the villagers soon saw that the pots and pans that the animals had taken from their homes were all piled at the entrance of the village and returned.
It is intact except for a few bumps on the edges, perhaps from accidental bumps on the road.
"Could it be that the mountain god doesn't need these anymore?"
"Probably so"
This incident made them more certain that the mountain god appeared.
But what exactly the mountain god is going to do is unknown.
After the herbs picked by animals in the past few days, as well as those picked up from Wu Yuan's hands, the green plants around Ye Qin could almost pile up into a hill.
Now it can be said that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
"Everything is ready, you can start making alchemy!"
All the animals in the jungle came to life, and their mung bean-sized eyes were like radar, constantly patrolling back and forth among the herbs.
Small rodents such as squirrels and rabbits poked their little heads out among the wide leaves, as if they were looking for something.
From time to time, flying birds startled, hovering in the sky, and occasionally swooped down. When they reappeared, there was a touch of green on the bird's claws or beak.

Before entering the mountain, a cool mountain breeze came to us.
The group of people were about to set off towards the mountain, but the bushes next to them suddenly began to shake, and the rustling sound was heard all the time, which instantly attracted their attention.
Everyone became a little wary.
"Hey, what's that sound?"
"There must be no snakes."
They quickly followed the location of the movement and looked over.
In the bushes, mung bean-sized eyes flickered at everyone, and he shook his big fluffy tail proudly.
A squirrel quickly sprang out from inside, crossing an afterimage in the air, and happened to collide with the archaeological team and others entering the mountain.
Seeing that it was a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The village chief explained in due course, "Our village is close to a mountain, and small animals will run down from time to time. This is normal."
But as soon as the village chief finished speaking, another white shadow floated in front of his eyes, and it skipped over with its long ears.
Then a few more voles scurried out, leaving afterimages in the air.
The village chief squinted his eyes, looked at the direction in which these animals were leaving, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Why do I feel like they are heading towards the village?"
Logically speaking, these animals shouldn't come out so frequently in broad daylight, and the village chief couldn't understand why so many small animals suddenly came down the mountain.
Could there be some strange changes in the mountains?
He glanced at the lush mountain forest not far away, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
Just when everyone was puzzled.
"Roar--"
A low roar loomed, and the village chief's expression changed. "It sounds like some ferocious beast is coming down the mountain."
Although there are ferocious beasts on the mountain, most of them avoid people. There has never been an example of a ferocious beast taking the initiative to come down the mountain to hurt people, but occasionally some wild boars will accidentally run down and harm crops.
But that was a long time ago.
The village chief thought about it a little more. There are several roads down the mountain that lead to the village. This makes sense. These small animals may have been frightened by the beast, so they ran down the mountain in a hurry.
If a ferocious beast really comes down, be sure to remind the villagers, and the village chief will turn back just in case.
"I'm sorry, the situation has changed now, I'm afraid we have to go back first, and if there is a wild beast, it won't be safe for the few of us."
The members of the archaeological team also expressed understanding and listened to others' advice to eat enough and did not forcibly enter the mountain.
However, when everyone hurried back to the village, they were shocked by the scene they saw in front of them.
"This, this is—"
Dozens of small animals, in addition to the common small animals such as rabbits and voles, as well as carnivores such as weasels, foxes, and hyenas, all came to the entrance of the village.
They seemed to have overcome the bloodthirsty instinct in their bodies and turned a blind eye to the delicious food around them. Those timid herbivores did not even run away when they saw their natural enemies.
They all entered the village in an orderly manner. They were obviously beasts, but they seemed to abide by human order.
The scene before me was grotesque and absurd.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined that there are times when natural enemies can coexist peacefully, which completely goes against the common sense and nature of living things.
Animals have certain gregarious migration behaviors, but only if they belong to the same population.
<divclass="contentadv">Nowadays, different types of animals, weeds and carnivores are mixed together and migrating towards human villages, as if there is some mysterious force driving their actions.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that such strange things could happen in the world. There really were all kinds of strange things in the world.
"I, I must be dreaming, why are there so many animals here?"
Several members of the archaeological team were dumbfounded, and these animals had blocked the entrance to the village. For a while, the village chief and others did not dare to act rashly.
The archaeological team felt that the village chief next to him was a little too quiet.
When I turned around, I saw that not only was there no fear on his face, but it was full of piety and respect. He even clasped his hands and worshiped there.
The archaeological team was puzzled by this move and couldn't help but remind them:
"Village Chief, these animals will not cause any harm to the village, right? Will the fields and livestock be affected? The top priority is to contact the people in the village and disperse them as soon as possible."
The village chief, who was previously worried that the beast would hurt people when it came down the mountain, was unexpectedly calm now and shook his head.
"This is the appearance of the mountain god."
"Don't worry. I originally thought there was something unusual in the mountain. Now it seems that these animals must have been guided by the mountain god, so there will be nothing wrong with them."
The archaeological team understood every word the village chief said, but when combined together, they were confused.
The members of the archaeological team were in disbelief, "Are you saying that these animals are controlled by the mountain god?"
I originally thought that the villagers just had ordinary beliefs, but I didn't expect them to be so superstitious.
Seeing the bewildered expressions of the archaeological team and others, the village chief comforted him, "Don't worry, these animals won't hurt us."
Seeing the village chief and others swearing, the archaeological team had extremely complicated expressions on their faces, obviously not believing it.
Although these animals do behave strangely, they are wild beasts after all, and who can guarantee that they will not hurt people or carry any viruses.
In the village, Wu Yuan was drying herbs.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on these days. Common herbs such as snake bed, angelica, barbata, and ephedra can't be found in the mountains. I clearly remember there are a lot of them."
Wu Yuan dried the medicinal materials in the yard and couldn't help but yawned, "Maybe it's because I'm old and my memory is bad."
Wu Yuan walked back to the inner hall, but did not notice that shortly after he left, a little squirrel came to the yard, as if it had discovered a new world.
As soon as his eyes lit up, he rushed to the pile of medicinal materials, sniffed with his little nose, kept shaking, and quickly left the yard.
When the squirrel came back again, it was followed by a group of squirrels.
At this moment, Wu Yuan was taking a nap in the lobby. He vaguely heard the chirping sound, but he thought it was the chirping of birds outside and didn't take it to heart.
Soon, the noise outside and the discussion of the villagers completely woke him up, and he walked out of the yard in confusion.
"what!"
The next second, an earth-shattering scream echoed through the sky.
"Where are my herbs!"
"Where did all my herbs go!"
In addition, similar scenes also played out in other villagers' homes.
The villagers were dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of them, somewhat at a loss.
Someone was holding a broom and was about to drive away, but was quickly stopped.
"You don't want your life. Can't you see that these little animals are spiritual? Maybe they came down from the mountain and were ordered by the mountain god."
"If you think about it carefully, why do so many small animals suddenly appear, and none of them are afraid of people? It's so abnormal, and something is obviously wrong."
Normally these animals would avoid strangers, but now they would not even take the initiative to enter the homes of villagers.
The villager holding the broom thought about it and thought that this was also the case. He suddenly slapped his head and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me. I almost offended the mountain god."
After saying that, he quickly bowed to those animals.
Not long after, chaos began in the village.
Some animals came out with basins in their mouths, and some animals had bowls on their heads.
From a distance, those who didn't know better thought that these pots and pans had legs and could walk on their own.
In addition to taking these things, the animals did not harm livestock or food. They seemed not to be interested in anything else. They took them and left without stopping.
This phenomenon further shows that they seem to be organized and orderly, and the villagers dare not disturb them for fear of upsetting the mountain gods.
Some villagers were taking a nap and knew nothing about it, while others saw it and thought they were hallucinating.
Zhuzi, who had just finished drinking at the house next door, was walking home when he accidentally kicked something.
A white bowl lay in the middle of the road, and then began to move slowly.
Zhuzi burped and couldn't help but rub his eyes, "Strange, how come I see the bowl has legs."
He squatted down and poked the bowl with his hand, and soon a little head popped out. It was actually a little field mouse, chirping at him, as if he was cursing someone.
Zhuzhu understood in an instant and quickly moved to the side, "Sorry for blocking the road."
The field mouse then put down the bowl and continued to move forward, chasing the team in front.
Zhuzi was still there stupidly, scratching his head, "It seems that I really drank too much, and I actually saw the field mouse moving the bowl."
After Zhu Zhu burped, he continued walking home.
At this time, the animals also left the village with their things, and the archaeological team and others were once again stunned.
I saw pots and pans with long legs not far away, and some of their big furry tails were still exposed. Although the scene was a bit strange, it was also inexplicably funny.
It is not uncommon for animals to move and carry their belongings with them, but it is a bit strange that so many animals are moving, and they are also moving pots and pans.
The members of the archaeological team couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and were dumbfounded. "Village chief, are you really not going to take care of it?"
The village chief also fell silent.
What do you care?
You can't just snatch the pots and pans back from the hands of these animals.
Those animals didn't stay long. They took these things and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The archaeological team and the village chief quickly returned to the village. Many villagers came out of their homes and talked about everything just now.
The village chief asked: "Is everyone okay?"
"Don't worry, village chief, everyone is fine."
If there was any loss, it would probably be that a few pots and pans were lost at home, but those were not worth much money. Calculating this, the loss was almost zero.
Those little animals seem to have intelligence and know that they can't just collect wool from one place, but take some from each household.
When divided evenly among each family, it’s really not that much.
Of course, the one who suffered the most heavy losses was Wu Yuan. He was the only barefoot doctor in the village, and all the herbs were looted by those little animals.
"It's really amazing. I was cooking at home, and suddenly a few weasels broke in. I was worried that they would get into trouble, but I only took a few bowls."
"Who says it's not the case? I was worried about those hyenas biting people, but they just grabbed a basin in their mouths."
"A few foxes also walked into my house. They felt like humans. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak for a long time."
When these animals suddenly appeared, the villagers were inevitably a little panicked, but they saw that the animals had no intention of harming them, and they were quickly replaced by curiosity and surprise.
"What do these animals do with pots and pans?"
"Animals definitely can't do this kind of thing. Maybe it's the mountain god who drives them. The key is what does the mountain god want these for? Could it be that the mountain god wants to cook?"
The mountain god's reputation was accidentally ruined, and he was even suspected of being hungry.
"I'm afraid you're not joking. Why does a mountain god still need to cook and eat?"
"Then tell me what the mountain god wants these for."
"Anyway, the mountain god must have his reasons, so let's not worry about it so much."
The village chief patted Wu Yuan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Old Wu, don't be too sad. Your herbs were picked from the mountain anyway. Now it's natural for the mountain god to take them back."
Wu Yuan nodded and quickly looked away, "After all, the mountain god has saved the entire village. Not to mention these herbs, even asking for a little more is not too much."
"It's a good idea for you to think so."
"But let's face it, what does the mountain god want all this for?"
The members of the archaeological team had complicated expressions when they heard the villagers' discussion.
Although the behavior of these animals is indeed unconventional and very strange, it can be said that there has never been such a record.
They broke into the village and took away the pots, pans, and herbs. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have definitely thought that someone had made up the story.
But now these phenomena are happening right under their noses.
Unfortunately, they are not zoologists and cannot explore the reasons behind these animal behaviors.
But it doesn't mean that everything can be related to the mountain god, but these villagers still believe in it.
The people in the archaeological team discussed this a lot.
"What do these villagers think? They can blame the mountain god for everything."
It’s not easy for others to comment, “Forget it, let’s just do our own thing.”
The people in the archaeological team did not believe in the theory of mountain gods, but the behavior of these animals was indeed abnormal, and they gave up after thinking for a long time.
After all, nature is full of wonders, so it can’t really be a mountain god controlling these animals.
Ye Qin, who was on the mountain, quickly saw the pile of pots and pans. Those small animals were like offering treasures, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded.
In an instant, the originally quiet mountain suddenly smelled of fireworks, and now there was only no fire for cooking.
"You don't need so much"
This cannot be blamed on these animals. Although they received Ye Qin's instructions, their spiritual intelligence was not enlightened after all.
They only had a rough impression of the utensils Ye Qin described, and they didn't know exactly what he wanted.
So as long as they can be installed, they have moved them all.
Ye Qin was picking and choosing inside, and finally settled on a large vat. As for the other things, the capacity was too small and was not suitable.
Ye Qin asked them to return them to their original owners.
The little animals did not complain about Ye Qin's instructions, and quickly picked up the pots and pans and ran down the mountain.
So the villagers soon saw that the pots and pans that the animals had taken from their homes were all piled at the entrance of the village and returned.
It is intact except for a few bumps on the edges, perhaps from accidental bumps on the road.
"Could it be that the mountain god doesn't need these anymore?"
"Probably so"
This incident made them more certain that the mountain god appeared.
But what exactly the mountain god is going to do is unknown.
After the herbs picked by animals in the past few days, as well as those picked up from Wu Yuan's hands, the green plants around Ye Qin could almost pile up into a hill.
Now it can be said that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
"Everything is ready, you can start making alchemy!"
