Mountains and seas can be flat

Fang Zheng didn't want to recall what happened that day.But even if he didn't want to recall it anymore, it was still deeply and vividly burned in his mind.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even see the man's face, he only remembered the man's voice whispering in his ear, the voice was hoarse and intermittent.Although Fang Zheng's consciousness was paralyzed, he still vaguely heard him babbling some words.

He seemed to be turned upside down in a half-awake, half-dream state.He wanted to wake up, but the man pressed on his temple again, and pushed Fang Zheng back into the abyss of coma.So even though he had a vague feeling of being turned over, he still couldn't open his eyes and couldn't see what that person looked like.

"No..." That silly voice faintly lingered in my ears, accompanied by the thrilling sensation of touching the flesh below.

Fang Zheng couldn't move, and his eyes were dark. What's wrong with this guy? Did he know that what he did was wrong, so if he wanted to knock him out, he had to rape his corpse?There are so many snakes here, why didn't this guy be poisoned to death, why didn't he suffer from other poisons, what kind of obscene poison did he have to suffer?This year's snake business is really bad, no wonder it was wiped out.

Fang Zheng felt hands rubbing the back of his head again, and then he began to fall into a dream——

Don't dream!wake me up!Fang Zheng was dragged into a dream in despair. The material of the dream was of course what he had experienced. He dreamed that he followed those gangsters to "try something new" when he was fifteen or sixteen. It was a dilapidated old residential area, and there were many pale women standing at the intersection. Just a little bit of beauty.The brothers said they wanted to take Fang Zheng to open the meat, pointed to a weak woman with long hair inside and said, "That's Sister Yao, she has the best experience, and it's always right to find her for the first time."

Fang Zheng had five food stamps in his hand (of course they were "distributed" after the "organization" snatched them up), and after bargaining for four, Sister Yao took him into a small room that smelled of smoke.

"Don't be nervous." Sister Yao sat at the table and began to undress.

Fang Zheng hesitated: "I, I want to drink water."

Sister Yao laughed in astonishment, then rolled up her hair and walked into the greasy kitchen to boil water for him. At that moment, Fang Zheng looked at the back of the woman stooping to boil water, with mixed emotions in his heart, he took two steps back and took one step, trembling and groping Looking at the door frame, I don't know whether I should go or not.

"The four tickets are still on the table." Sister Yao didn't stop him, she just pointed at the money.

Fang Zheng originally wanted to say "you keep it", but in the next moment, a childish and fierce light appeared in his eyes, he stepped forward to grab the four tickets back into his palm, and then fled the small greasy room without looking back .This is his first and last time looking for a woman.He dared not tell the other brothers in the gang that they would look down on him.

After that, Fang Zheng wandered aimlessly around the greasy alleys on restless nights, hoping that there might be one or two bunnies he liked.But when those prostitutes who seemed to come out poked their heads out from the dark corner of the alley, Fang Zheng felt a little restless again, turned around and left, never finding anyone he liked.

There are many images in Fang Zheng's turbulent spring dream. The weirdest one is the bronze statue beside the lotus pond in Tsinghua University. He was taken away by his father when he was very young. He has forgotten his name, but he only remembers that he is an intellectual. The statue is not considered slender, but projected into the dream, the bronze statue turned into a teenager wearing a white shirt, stained with lotus fragrance and moonlight, and became a pale, slender, weak and smiling shadow , This is the eternal theme of Fang Zheng's sexual imagination in his adolescence for several years. At that time, he finally understood where to find the boy he wanted-a university of higher learning. However, it will never be possible because the college entrance examination has been suspended for several years.

All Fang Zheng's imaginations about sex were shattered in this way today.

—I'm going to kill him!During the turbulent dreams, Fang Zheng only remembered the fiery body clinging to each other, panting, the sound of water, and mucus.Murderous thoughts occupied all his thoughts from now on.

He didn't see the man's face until the end, and the man was leaning over him like a dog.

It doesn't hurt there... Fang Zheng thought maliciously, it turned out to be a toothpick, and he didn't feel it at all.

But the shoulder was very painful and was bitten.It is estimated that the toothpick is hard to enjoy, so I have to vent my perverted desires in other places. This is what the eunuchs of later generations did.Fang Zheng slandered, the ancients always said that eunuchs are easy to be masters?It is also said in martial arts novels that one must first become a eunuch to practice magical skills, so this guy can kill so many snakes, he must be the ancestor of the eunuchs of later generations.

No wonder his voice is so strange, such a big weapon, it should be a man with a Tarzan-like physique to make it move, but the voice is like an adolescent boy, he must have undergone eunuch surgery...Fang Zheng's consciousness is in these Disappeared gradually.

When Fang Zheng woke up, there was no one around him, and the ancestor of the eunuch who hung like a toothpick had already left.Fang Zheng looked down and gasped. He was naked, and there were a few blushing tooth marks on his shoulders.Fang Zheng was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke. He looked tremblingly between his legs, and there were several obvious fingerprints on the heels of his legs.He sat up, his face became weird - it didn't hurt at all, but he did remember that something was grinding near his leg yesterday, it's impossible to take out everything that should be taken, but not put it in?

From this point of view, even though he was dated, the toothpick was too small, so he didn't have the slightest impression?Fang Zheng found a placebo for wanton ridicule in this messy shame and anger - did that person feel ashamed and ran away?No intention to kill him?This is strange.Fang Zheng even saw a few fresh fruits beside the broken corner of Si.People in this era also pay prostitution?But this shows that the lunatic yesterday recovered his sanity.

What Fang Zheng regrets most is that he didn't see the man's face, so he won't be able to recognize him in the future.However, he already remembered the man's weapon. It was a strangely shaped weapon with an upward blade. It was not an axe, but another ancient weapon whose name he couldn't immediately think of, but which he had seen.The opponent's force value is scary, but Fang Zheng will never forgive him, he is a person who must take revenge.

Fang Zheng's robes were all stripped off, but the sackcloth was still by his side. Fang Zheng hastily tore some grass leaves to wipe the messy liquid between his legs, and then put the sackcloth on.The cut corner was still placed next to his ear, but a small shape was engraved on the corner, like a clumsy stick figure of a chick, the fresh scratch was left by that person yesterday.What does this mean, is this a travel mark?

After Fang Zheng smiled, his expression became serious again—the hardness of the horns was right there, and the notch was so fine, which proved that the opponent had other small and delicate weapons with the same hardness besides the terrifying weapon whose hardness was higher than the horns. Weapon self-defense.

The other party came from a civilization with superb smelting technology.According to the records known by Fang Zheng, the ancient bronze civilization began in Yin Shang and ancient Shu. There is also copper in "Shan Hai Jing", called Chi Jin.The ancients mastered the casting of various coppers relatively early.The big ax in my impression yesterday was bright golden. The ancient "bronze" was not actually blue. Before it was corroded by copper rust, it was bright golden...

Is that the warrior of the great eastern country who has the "red gold" (copper) smelting technique?They are Badian's enemies, and they came here to kill a bunch of snakes.

Fang Zheng suddenly discovered an obvious thing belatedly... secretly cursing himself for not thinking of it before.

In terms of archaeology, he remembered the ancient name before ancient Shu: Ba Kingdom.

Sixth, the suzerain country they attached to is called "Bardian".

The ancient Shu civilization worshiped giant snakes. The south is humid and forested, and there are often giant boa constrictors. There is even an exaggerated giant snake called "Ba snake" in "Shan Hai Jing". A snake swallows an elephant".

Badian may be the dialect name of the predecessor of Ba State.

Fang Zheng remembered the name of the leader of Badian Kingdom that he thought had not been recorded: Shan Cong.

Following this direction to recall, he actually found a place connected to the literature.

In the ancient Shu Kingdom, there was an emperor named "Can Cong".This is different from the word "mountain cluster", and the pronunciation is also close.It is very likely that it is the rule of naming the emperor's genealogy, or it may be some kind of title given to the leader by the minority.

A lot of ethnic minority documents have been lost, but the names of the leaders of "Cancong" have been recorded.The era is the early days of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and it is famous for resisting Xia Jie and establishing the ancient Shu.Then, before the establishment of the ancient Shu Kingdom, it was reasonable and reasonable for the Ba Kingdom, which also worshiped giant snakes, to have a leader whose name was close to that of Cancong.

From Xia to Shang, there is a gap of more than 500 years.If Badian is really the predecessor of the Ba Kingdom, this will advance the cultural origin of "Ancient Shu" by more than 1000 years.Ba Guo and the giant snake, which only existed in mythology, finally came to Fang Zheng in their real appearance.

Fang Zheng thought of the words he had mechanically recited in the dark night, and suddenly knelt on the ground, thinking of his father's lifelong research, his heart was sad and sour but also relieved.

Fang Zheng stared at this barren forest—the corpses of dead snakes in the distance gradually began to rot, and there was a faint mist in the forest. Looking back, he could only see the rolling hills.

He hated memorizing documents, and swallowed them simply and rudely.At this moment, he remembered a poem that his father taught him to recite in elementary school... Before everything was broken... He also expected to study hard and grow up to be an intellectual like his adoptive father... In the end, he was far away. out of reach.

The ancient Shu king "Can Cong" is in that poem.

——The difficulty of the road to Shu is harder than going to the blue sky!Cancong and yufu, how at a loss was the founding of the country!You are [-] years old, and you will not live with Qin Saitong!

————————————————————

Fang Zheng finally walked out of the forest. To his surprise, he walked for about ten miles along the only road by the creek, and returned to the production tribe of Ji Liu and Teng Mao.I didn't expect that the snake nest was so close to the production tribe.He saw the familiar stone walls and wooden thorns from a distance. It was strange that when he left, there were two female hunting guards at the gate of the fence, but now it was empty.

Fang Zheng didn't know how many female hunters in Tengmao's team had escaped from the Sikou. He wanted to go back to replenish some water and medicinal materials, so he walked in along the entrance. The more he walked, the more strange the whole tribe was. nothing.

These women in the tribe live in stone houses. Their strength is limited, and it is impossible to polish the stones, so there are many gaps in them.Fang Zheng detoured behind a stone house, and listened with his ear on the crack. There were people in the house.Why don't they come out now in broad daylight?Don't they have a lot of work to do, skinning, sewing, cooking, chopping wood...

Fang Zheng turned around a few more stone houses suspiciously. His sense of hearing and smell became much more sensitive, and he could hear the breathing of people in those houses, but they just couldn't come out.

Fang Zheng was about to go to the commune to see how Elder Xuan Si was doing, when he passed the door of a stone house, he was suddenly dragged in by a pair of hands stretched out from the open door.

Fang Zheng actually heard the sound before the door opened, and he could tell that it was Ji Liu's voice, so he let her pull him into the room.

"Why do you—"

"Hush!" Ji Liu made a "shh" gesture to the other party with a pale face, and shook her head desperately, with fear in her expression.

Fang Zheng lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Have Teng Mao and the others come back?"

Ji Liu also suppressed his voice, sobbing: "Only she and Xue Mao came back, and everyone else died."

"What are you doing, why are you all hiding in the house, and no one is guarding the gate..."

Ji Liu seemed to be about to cry, and it seemed extremely difficult to say it, she was interrupted several times by her gasping for fear, and finally choked up and said: "The sacrificial offering of Qiu Gong, the Suzerain, is not chosen this time. , it came by itself."

"What's coming?"

But Ji Liu turned pale, climbed onto the stone bed, and covered the animal skin mattress tightly.Never say another word.

Fang Zheng frowned, moved to the wall, and looked out through the cracks in the stone...

There was a rustling sound, from far to near, as if something heavy was being dragged outside the door.

Jiliu's family had no cows and horned chickens, but the chickens from other families in the distance kept crowing one after another.

Chickens do not crow when the day is high unless they sense danger.

Ji Liu tightly covered his mouth—the elders said: the roosters crowed day by day, which is called a famine, and the Lord is ominous.

Fang Zheng looked outside through the bright light of the day.The water of the small river still flows quietly, the sackcloth to dry is blown by the breeze, and the wet and soft soil is empty.There are two plots of land outside the rear window, and there is nothing unusual... no wonder.

There was a continuous "suosuo" vibration from the side of the stone house, causing a layer of dust to fall from the roof of the stone house.Ji Liu covered his mouth in fear and trembled even more.Fang Zheng smelled the disgusting smell through the door, and heard the sound of rough objects being dragged across the ground.

Fang Zheng continued to look forward through the hole: after searching, he finally found the source of the abnormal noise:

Just one glance and his blood froze.

At first glance, I almost mistakenly thought that there was a small black river flowing outside, reflecting sparkling waves in the sunlight.The "little river" changed its course wantonly, and the black silk and satin flowed like water.

Looking carefully, those "waves of light" are not spreading ripples, but smooth scales as big as a wheel cover, covering the body of a big snake of unknown length!Fang Zheng couldn't estimate the thickness, just from what he saw, it was more than ten feet. Amidst the sound of "Swish, Swish, Swish", Fang Zheng didn't see the head of the giant snake, but only saw its tail that was gathered into a pointed shape, like a sharp blade, swept across the open space in front of the house, and headed towards the center of the village. slip away.

Fang Zheng fell down in shock, still in shock.He pinched his arm severely: it hurts, it's not a dream.He consulted the woman with a shocked gaze, and the trembling expression of the other party confirmed that the horrible creature outside the house really existed beyond the wall.

Such a big black snake is like the Ba snake in the "Shan Hai Jing" that can swallow elk and small elephants alive.The snake has a green head and a black body. It is more than ten feet long and seven or eight feet in circumference...

Is this what women mean by "it's coming"?

Is this the scariest one in the "snake nest" I saw yesterday?Fang Zheng thought to himself, where is that perverted eunuch who killed all the snakes at this time?
