his dragon [farming]

After a night of sleep, the next morning, every muscle in Qiu He's body was sore and unbearable. Not only was he unable to get up, but even when he moved, he screamed for a long time.

More importantly, he was very hungry early in the morning. He had never suffered from such hunger in his life. Guessing that his grandfather had prepared breakfast, Qiuhe lay in the tent and called his grandfather to bring him a steamed bun.

Shen Baocheng was annoyed and funny when he heard this, and said: "I want to eat, get up and eat!

"I can't move anymore!" Qiu He lay on the bed like a corpse, and shouted to the roof, "Hurry up, Grandpa, he's starving to death!"

Shen Baocheng said: "You are so cute!"

Having said that, Shen Baocheng poked two steamed buns with chopsticks for him, and brought a bowl of corn grits to put on the bedside cabinet, and hung up the curtain for him conveniently.

Qiu He groaned, struggled to sit up, took the bowl and chopsticks, drank the porridge and said, "Grandpa, look at my legs are full of sour water and swollen!"

"You usually walk less, just take two more trips." Shen Baocheng said while rubbing his big rough hands along Qiu He's calf.

Qiuhe let out a scream, and she couldn't bear to live.

Under the torment of her grandfather, Qiuhe finished her breakfast crying and shouting, and lay in bed for another day, finally recovering a little energy.

Fortunately, he was able to walk on the ground the next day. Although his posture was like that of a rheumatic patient, he was finally able to take care of himself.Shen Baocheng watched from the side and shook his head, he almost had the words "really delicate" engraved on his face.

In the early morning of this day, just after dawn, Qiuhe was woken up by a noise——there was a noise in the bamboo forest, which was quite different from the past, as if hundreds of sparrows were screaming and colliding on the bamboo branches.Shen Baocheng couldn't lie down anymore, so he got up to check the situation. As soon as the door opened, he screamed "Oh".

Qiu He had never heard her grandfather make such a voice before, she was startled, and immediately shouted outside: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Baocheng didn't answer, but closed the door of the main room. After a while, there was crackling in the yard, as if he was hitting something.Qiu He couldn't lie down anymore, turned over and got out of bed, put on slippers and opened the door of the main room, just about to enter the yard, when Shen Baocheng yelled: "Go in! Close the door!"

With sharp eyes, Qiuhe saw a section of colorful rope lying under the steps, Dingqing looked closely, and found that the rope was still twisting, it was actually a living snake!

Qiu He was so shocked that his face was numb, and he jumped back screaming, but saw Shen Baocheng picked the snake out with a bamboo pole with quick eyes, and then strode over, stretched out his hand to pull Qiu He, and said, "Come here!" ,Follow me!"

Qiu He tightly grasped Grandpa's hand, followed him to the middle of the courtyard, the small courtyard in the mist, made his whole body densely covered with goose bumps, and couldn't help screaming like crazy.

—The yard is full of snakes.On a bamboo pole under the eaves, three or four snakes in various colors were hung; on the pile of firewood, there were two earth-brown snakes coiled; Swimming slowly... In the cold and dark morning light, these snakes exude a cold and slippery aura, which is creepy.

Qiuhe's heart was about to jump out of his chest, his whole body was paralyzed, and he almost vomited out on the spot.At this moment, he felt that Shen Baocheng held his hand tightly.The old man's calloused palm was exceptionally warm and powerful, which brought back a bit of calm to the chaotic and numb Qiu He.

"Grandpa, what should we do?" The boy's face was white, and his low voice sounded a little trembling.

"Don't be afraid! It's not a very poisonous snake." Shen Baocheng's voice was steady, but his face was a little dignified, "It's strange! Where did so many snakes come from all at once?"

He used a long bamboo pole to drive away the snake that was blocking the road, and then took Qiu He tightly to the outside of the house.Fortunately, Sun Valley Ping is clean and clear at a glance.Shen Baocheng handed the bamboo pole to Qiuhe and said, "If you see a snake swimming towards you, beat it with the bamboo pole!"

After speaking, she turned around and wanted to enter the house, but Qiu He grabbed her sleeves, shook her head desperately and said, "You don't want to go in!"

"Don't be afraid! I drove the snakes out, but I can't let them take over our house." His grandfather said with an understatement.

"Are you crazy? What if you get bitten?" Qiu He held on to her grandfather, crying, "What if you get bitten by a poisonous snake, and there isn't even a hospital in this place?"

"It's okay! Grandpa will be careful! Catch two while they are still alive, and take the snake gall for me to eat. It's good for my eyes!" After finishing speaking, Shen Baocheng went in on his own.

Qiuhe stood alone in the middle of the lawn, frightened and angry, and shouted at Shen Baocheng's back: "I don't eat snake gall! You catch me and I don't eat it! Did you hear that!"

He watched grandpa enter the yard helplessly, and there was a crackling sound from inside.Qiu He was trembling all over, crouching in the empty space with her head in her arms, wishing to escape far away and never come back for the rest of her life; at the same time she felt that the old grandpa was pitiful, he didn't even have anyone to help, but he couldn't move his legs no matter what.

He was filled with fear and self-blame, and every second was a torment.Suddenly, all the snakes seemed to panic. With their flat heads held high, they searched for a way out in the yard, climbed over the threshold and the low wall in groups, climbed out of the house, and quickly hid in the surrounding bushes as if fleeing. In the distance, I could hear the snake's belly rubbing against the bushes, making a rustling sound.

In just an instant, all the snakes in the room disappeared.If it weren't for the two dead snakes lying in the yard, Qiu He really thought it was just a terrible nightmare he had.

Shen Baocheng drove out with a stick, stood beside Qiuhe, looked gloomy at the bushes next to the house, then turned around and said to Qiuhe, "Come on, go into the house, I'll make you breakfast."

After such a big event, what grandpa remembers is still breakfast!

Qiuhe immediately collapsed.He got up hastily, wearing only a vest and pajama pants, feeling cool in the mist, sobbing while crossing his arms, saying: "No! I want to go home! I can't stay any longer, I want go home……"

The young man had never seen such a terrible scene in his life, his face was completely colorless, his hair was stunned like a bird's nest, and he was crying silently.Shen Baocheng was in pain and confusion, so he had no choice but to coax him first: "Okay, I'll take you to the car after breakfast, okay?...I'll go in first and get you some clothes."

"You don't move!" Qiuhe yelled at him, shedding tears and pulling her grandfather back, "Maybe there are snakes inside! Just stand here and don't move!"

The two were talking on the ping, when a person walked up the mountain road.That figure passed through the white mist vaguely, and walked up to him covered in moisture, and it turned out to be Bai Chuan.

"It's you?" Bai Chuan looked at the twitching Qiu He, then at Shen Baocheng, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Seeing an outsider coming, Qiu He immediately felt a little ashamed, rubbed her eyes in a concealed manner, and said nothing.Shen Baocheng then explained: "When I got up in the morning, I saw a lot of snakes in the yard, which frightened him."

Bai Chuan opened his mouth slightly, as if stunned, looked at the small courtyard suspiciously, and said, "Let me go and see, where is the snake?"

"I just crawled out and swam away and went into the woods. When I woke up early, I heard the birds chirping so loudly, I'm afraid there are many in the bamboo forest behind." Shen Baocheng said.

Bai Chuan glanced at the surrounding woods, and entered the small courtyard of the Shen family alone.He wandered around inside and outside the house several times before sticking out his head and shouting: "There are no snakes, they are all gone."

Shen Baocheng then said to Qiu He: "Don't be afraid! You see, Bai Chuan said that the snake has gone clean! Are you going in?...Then I'll bring you a piece of clothing."

He brought Qiuhe a coat, moved a small bamboo chair, let him sit on the lawn for a while, and went back to the house to make breakfast.Qiu He shivered and wrapped her coat, and sat outside on the sun-drying flat until the fog cleared.There was a great glow on the east mountain, and the whole small courtyard was bright and warm, so he walked slowly into the house.

The small courtyard has just been swept, and everything is neatly placed.Shen Baocheng and Bai Chuan were in the kitchen, one was sitting under the stove, the other was cooking porridge on the stove.Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. After a long while, Bai Chuan said, "It must be those people who did it."

Shen Baocheng sighed and said, "This time, I got into trouble. Last time, the sixth son said that those people have a lot of background. I heard that they had opened a mine before, and their hands were very black, and they even raised a group of thugs."

Bai Chuan sneered: "The people who come to see me all have backgrounds. I'm afraid of them? If I were afraid, this hill would have been out of control long ago."

Shen Baocheng stirred the porridge in the pot, was silent for a while, and then said: "A few snakes are fine. I live in the mountains. Haven't I seen any snakes? I'm afraid they will do other tricks in the future. Those people, just like Like a bastard, when did you see that bastard biting something and let go? Now we are in the light, they are in the dark, a bunch of hooligans, what can't be done?"

I heard Bai Chuan say lightly: "I know." After a pause, he said dryly: "You must be careful."

Qiuhe was in the yard, feeling cold all over.

It turns out that these poisonous snakes were put here on purpose!Those shameless people would do anything for money!

I'm afraid they poured more snakes into Bai Chuan's yard!Fortunately, Bai Chuan was not at home, otherwise he would have been surrounded by a group of poisonous snakes in his sleep just like them—but Bai Chuan seemed to have come down from the mountain just now, didn't he sleep at night?What are you doing up the mountain at night?

His heart was in a mess, mixed into a boiling paste, and he heard grandpa shouting from inside: "Qiu He, it's time for breakfast!"

Qiuhe pretended that she had just heard it, stepped heavily, and went to get a cup to brush her teeth.Shen Baocheng said to Bai Chuan again: "You just have two bites here, lest you have to do it when you go home."

Bai Chuan stood up, shook his head and said, "No, I'm going back."

Qiu He wiped her face, looked at the two people in the kitchen, and suddenly said, "Grandpa, let's call the police!"

Shen Baocheng shook his head while filling the porridge: "It's useless, the police come and just ask a few words and then leave. You say that someone poured snakes into your house, you have to have evidence. The snakes have all run away. With words, can the police believe it? "

Qiu He thought for a while, and then said: "It's really not possible, let's go to the media and let reporters expose it."

This time, Shen Baocheng on the stove and Bai Chuan who was walking out spoke at the same time, and said firmly, "No!"

Qiu He stared blankly at this, then at that, and asked, "Why not?"

Shen Baocheng was silent for a while, and then said: "Even if there are reporters coming, what's the use of broadcasting it on TV for a while? How they come, or how they want to come. ——Let's forget it."

"You don't know what kind of people are coveting this mountain." After Bai Chuan finished speaking lightly, he turned and left.

However, Qiu He could see a sense of cruelty and oppression from that back.

He looked at the nonchalant grandpa again, and keenly felt the subtle tacit understanding between him and Bai Chuan.Beyond this tacit understanding, Qiu He felt that he had touched a huge secret.The secret was there, right in front of both of them, but he knew nothing about it.
