tall and rhubarb

That day, Gao Chang was working on the ground, and Rhubarb was still nestling on the side of the road, curled up on a stone. It seemed that he was practicing. Recently, he was quite interested in transforming himself.The kid upstairs named Wei Chengying, for some reason, also went to the field with his father, and now he came to look for Da Huang.

"Hey, I heard your name is Rhubarb!"

Rhubarb flicked his tail and ignored him. Gao Chang, who was working in the field, paused for a moment. When did they show their secrets? How did this child know that Rhubarb was unusual?

"Whether you understand it or not, I'm sorry for pushing you into the pit that day. I didn't know the wild boar down there was so fierce." Che, is this an apology?It startled him.

"But you actually went to my dad to sue, hmph! Don't say you didn't sue, that Gao Chang looks like a villain at first glance. If you follow him, you must have learned badly." Wei Chengying obviously told himself The judgment is very confident.

"Manly man, if you have the guts, come out and fight!" Gao Chang not far away raised his eyebrows, this is to challenge.

"Hmph! Don't you dare? Tell you, next time I bully the kitten, I have to deal with you..."

It is tolerable or unbearable!Rhubarb stood up abruptly from the stone, opened his mouth wide to let out a roar, grinned to reveal increasingly sharp teeth, and let out an uninterrupted low growl from the bottom of his throat.

"You, what do you want to do?" This child probably has never seen a so-called beast in his life, so he will inevitably feel a little timid when he sees Rhubarb so ferocious.

"Didn't you just say that you want to be singled out?" Gao Chang came over at some point, okay, this kid, dare to say that he is a villain, such a big piece of meat seems to be for nothing.

"One-on-one, just one-on-one! Who is afraid of whom?" In fact, he wanted to have a good time in front of Rhubarb tonight, and didn't really want to cause trouble, otherwise his father Wei Changrui would definitely have to deal with him, but now, It's hard to get off the tiger, the face of a man is very important, and the pain of flesh and blood has to be endured, grit your teeth, and let's go.

Gao Chang's eyes flashed suddenly, and he slashed at him with a knife. The speed really scared Wei Chengying. He and his father walked all the way, except for those with guns in their hands, there was nothing he couldn't deal with. , I didn't expect Gao Chang to be so powerful.Wei Chengying kicked his legs and jumped more than three meters away. Just as he was about to launch a counterattack, he found that Gao Chang didn't pay attention to himself at all.

"Where did such a big cobra come from?" Gao Chang picked up the cobra whose head he had just chopped off with a stick. The body of the snake was as thick as a child's arm, and it was about three meters long. Very common.In these mountains, the cobra disappeared decades ago. Gao Chang had never seen this snake species when he was active on the mountain. He didn’t expect to see such a big one today. It seemed a bit strange. Something is wrong.

"Hey, kid." Gao Chang turned his head to look at the stupid goose who was very arrogant just now: "You can't even find out about this, and you still want to challenge me?"

"..." Wei Chengying blushed and was speechless.

"This is not an amusement park. Do you think you came out to hang out? Cut it, you're one-on-one, go home, wash up and sleep." Isn't it just a successful mutation? If you are so confident, you don't even know how you died if you were careful. , Pity his father, some will cry then.

"How do you know there are snakes?" Wei Chengying asked with a blushing face.

"If you can't see with your eyes, listen with your ears and smell with your nose." Gao Chang took a look at Wei Chengying, decided not to care about a child, and turned to those who were working in the field and shouted: "There is a situation, Everyone go back to the yard."

After everyone returned to the yard, everyone looked at the cobra brought back by Gao Chang, and the crowd was very quiet for a while.

"This kind of mountain snake has been extinct due to overhunting a few years ago. I don't know where it came from now." The old man in the yard has also seen this kind of snake.

"Shan Wan Snake?" The young man was obviously not familiar with this name.

"It's the King Cobra. In our locality, we call it Shanwan Snake, and there are also some called Shanfeng. In the past, there were some on the nearby mountains. Few of the villagers survived after being bitten. Later, because the snake was valuable, nearby People from a few villages took their tools and went up to the mountain to catch snakes and sell them, and within ten years, they all disappeared.” Old Jiushu grew up in this mountain since he was a child, and he is very familiar with what happened in the past.

"It's King Cobra!" The young people all know this name, although some people know more about it, and some people have only heard of the name, but just this one name is already familiar.

"Even Zhuyeqing can kill people now, how can this king cobra have a chance of surviving after being bitten?"

"The late rice has not been confiscated. The rice fields are densely packed. How can we find the hidden snakes? We can only go to the fields at night. It's so dark that we can't see anything clearly..." This spring, the number of insects has also decreased slightly. With some control, they quickly planted the rice and harvested it. Now it is the third season.Originally, they could only grow one season in this place, and it was barely enough to grow two seasons, but because of the appearance of blue sunlight, the plants grew wildly like hormones, and everyone was happy to grow more food.

"I don't know where it came from, how many are there?" It would be great if there was only this one, but after two years of struggle, everyone also knows that this idea is too naive and unrealistic.

"Maybe it's because the water level in the south has risen. Animals like snakes are very clever, so they come to higher places." Wei Changrui, who has been quiet all the time, also said something.

"Then how much more will it have to come?" Thinking of this question, everyone in the yard felt horrified. They had heard Wei Changrui talk about the intrusion of sea water before, but they didn't expect that even their place would be affected so quickly.

"It must be indispensable..."

"The Fifth Uncle at Shangkan, do you know?" Old Ninth Uncle asked.

"They also know that just now when everyone was working on the ground together, they heard Gao Chang calling for everyone to come back, and they all saw the snake." Zheng Guohong said.

"Let's go to their yard. Let's discuss it with everyone and see what to do about it. There are more and more poisonous substances outside. Let's circle a yard, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"Old Ninth Uncle, what do you mean to dig a big ditch?" Zheng Guohong seemed to understand a little bit. "But we only have so many wild boars, and the trenches have been dug wide and long, and we can't hold them."

"Then go up the mountain and catch wild boars."

"Old Ninth Uncle, don't be joking. Are wild boars easy to catch? If you meet them, you can save your life and come back. It's a great fortune to be able to kill them. How can we have such a great ability?" Live ones?" Upon hearing that wild boars were going to be caught, several young people in the yard jumped, didn't this mean they were going to die?

"That's right, and the vegetation is dense on the mountain now. The last time they went up to repair the pipes, there would be an accident. Let's go up the mountain?" King cobras have appeared, and who knows if there are any on the mountain.

"What time do you think it is now? You can save your life just by hiding in the yard?" A large number of poisons are probably in the back, if you don't take advantage of the present to do your work, will everyone be trapped in the yard when they all come? Are you waiting to die?

Those who could talk in the yard lit the torches and headed to the Kanna yard. Everyone walked carefully along the way, for fear that if one was not careful, they would encounter a king cobra again.The people in Fifth Uncle’s yard were also having a meeting. Seeing that the people who were in charge of their yard had gone, they moved out stools from each house and invited them to sit down.

"Fifth Uncle, what do you think?" Everyone got straight to the point and got to the point.

"I stood in the yard a few days ago and felt that there seemed to be more birds on the mountain. Now that the mountain wind is coming in, I'm afraid it's coming in from the outside. It's going to be hard in the future..." Fifth Uncle sat sitting On the chair, leaning on a cane in his hand, his back seemed to be a little more bent than before.

"You guys were also discussing about digging ditches just now?" Old Ninth Uncle sighed. How could he not know that digging ditches to catch wild boars is not easy.

"Isn't it? What else can I do? There is only such a simple solution left. Let's start work tomorrow. The women will also go to work in the ditch. If we can dig this ditch before winter, maybe we can still survive. Let us old men do the work on the mountain, dig a few more holes, and see if we can catch a few wild boars back. We are useless, but we still have the strength to dig a few holes. Old Jiu, don't go, you know how to see a doctor, and the people in our two yards will still need you in the future." Fifth Uncle and the others are fast, and this is already a division of labor.

"Now that we have Dr. Wei here, I can't help you much. Let's go up the mountain with you. It's fun to live a few more years with an old bone." .

"Just you old men go up the mountain, and if you catch a wild boar, can you carry it back?" Hearing what they said, Gao Chang couldn't help snorting.

"Gao Chang, how can you talk like that?" Everyone felt sore when they heard Fifth Uncle and the others say that. Even if Gao Chang's words were reasonable, it would inevitably make people angry.

"Come on, what's the point of being miserable at this critical moment? A group of old men and old ladies go up the mountain and dig a few holes to catch wild boars? Don't you know how many poisonous snakes there are on the mountain?" What's the difference between this and death?Uncle Fifth usually looks very shrewd, so why is his mind so unclear now, is he really confused?

"At this age, there is no need to be so stingy." An old man in the yard of Shangkan also agreed. The old man looks like seventy or eighty, with white hair and beard, but he looks healthy.

"Okay, okay, let me go to the mountain, you old bones still stay in the yard, you say that the old horse knows the way, and I will rely on you to help me find the way in the future." Now that this is up, can Gao Chang really watch a group of old people go up the mountain to die?

"In this way, if Gao Chang is willing to take this job, we will naturally have nothing to worry about." Gao Chang said that he wanted to go up the mountain, but the fifth uncle didn't even refuse, and he agreed.

"Fifth Uncle, how are you cheating wild boars? You are clearly cheating me, right?" At the end of the story, there is something that Gao Chang doesn't understand. This old bastard is obviously playing tricks and waiting for him to cheat, hate it He has to drill or not to drill, he has no choice at all.

"I can't help it. If we can't trap you, our old bones will really go to the mountain to trap wild boars." Uncle Wu solved another big problem, he was in a good mood, and laughed with Gao Chang.

"Fifth Uncle, the wild boars on the mountain have no brains, and you probably won't be able to fool them with your words."

"Hehehe, don't you have to risk your life!"

The work of digging the ditch started quickly. The courtyard in Shangkan, where Uncle Wu and the others lived, was located on a hillside, so it was difficult to surround it with a ditch. After some discussions, the courtyard in Shangkan was decided to move as a whole. Go to Xiwei, and those who live in Shangkan at Xiwei have changed from tenants to landlords at once.

And the people who rented the yard in Aoli before, and the people who moved out from the yard at the end of the river, also moved back. The yard at the end of the stream was very crowded for a while, but fortunately there was a big one over there. Open space, after digging this trench after a while, they will build two more houses on the open space, that is to say, the entire yard at the end of the stream will be occupied by houses, and there will be no more large open spaces.

Being divided in this way, the number of people in Gao Chang's yard is actually less, and the number of people in the next two yards will be about the same. Some people also suggested that people from Shangkan side move a few households to live in the alcove, but no one is willing Well, the people in their yard are all relatives, afraid that they will be bullied if they move out alone.

This ditch needs to be dug very long, and it has to enclose both the Aoli and Xiwei yards, as well as the field at the entrance of the village. In this way, their village will have to do farm work on the land in the future, and more than before. Guaranteed.It's just that such a large project cannot be easily dug down. This ditch needs to be dug deep and wide, otherwise the defense ability is not high and it will lose its value.

On the second day after they started working, Bai Bao came to the door and said that he could ask his people to help dig together, but they would live in the empty yard in Shangkan in the future.One word stirred up waves, and the two yards suddenly became restless again. Who are Bai Bao and the others, not to mention selling salt, and they have done things like smashing, smashing, looting and burning, and they still have guns in their hands. Entering the courtyard of Shangkan, isn't that leading wolves into the house?

"But if we don't agree, can they give up easily?" Since this person has already made up their minds, he cannot be easily dismissed.

"I heard that as soon as they arrived in our town, they robbed several houses and killed people." Don't look at them as buying salt, just treat them as serious businessmen, there are no businessmen these days that are not blood-stained.

"But people say that they are raising a group of children now, all without parents." There are also different voices.

"Hmph, that's the boy scout they raised, and they will still work for their group in the future."

"Since they have come to the door, we can't hide even if we want to."

"Look at their team, all of them are strong and strong. Their help will definitely save a lot of time."

"Gao Chang, you are familiar with Bai Bao and the others. Do you think this will work?" When Bai Bao came over, Gao Chang was digging a hole on the mountain, so he didn't come across it. He returned to the yard from the mountain when it was about dawn. After that, I heard about it.

"If it doesn't work, it will work. If they rob us hard, can we stand it?" Those people have been running outside all year round, and none of them has blood on their hands.

"Then you mean to let them live in?" Zheng Guohong seemed to disagree.

"Let them live in. The snakes have all entered the mountain, and the people are coming soon." Bai Bao and the others have made a living in the past two years, and they haven't done much evil. They have lived together in one place for two years. If there are too many people, you will get acquainted, and you still have some friendship. When people from outside really enter the mountain, maybe they can really help.

After breakfast, Gao Chang went back to the house with Rhubarb. Miao Zai didn't know where he went, and Gao Chang didn't bother to look for it. Anyway, he was sleepy and hungry, so he went home by himself.

Before meditating, Gao Chang checked Rhubarb's homework: "How is the transformation going?"

"Half and half." Rhubarb yawned. After running on the mountain for a while, it felt a little tired.

"Tell me, what's it like?" Gao Chang took out a poster magazine and asked Da Huang to point it out to him. He was still not at ease with the dog clan's aesthetic vision. If he succeeded in transforming, he would realize that he was not a normal person at all. It's too late to regret.

"This skin color, this height, this..." Rhubarb stretched out his claws to point Jiang Shan, not thinking that there was anything wrong with plagiarizing someone's appearance.

"Wait." At the very beginning, Gao Chang felt something was wrong. "Which height are you talking about?"

"It's just him, how handsome, he can reach the ball frame with his hand." Da Huang patted the basketball magazine with his paw. He had flipped through this magazine several times, and felt that he still liked this tall guy the most.

"Are you out of your mind? What are you doing so tall? Aren't you afraid of knocking on the door frame when you enter the house?" Gao Chang hopped and jumped off the bed. The two of them stood close together against the wall, and put their hands on top of his head. Draw a line on the top, then turn around, draw another line about five centimeters below that line, thicker and thicker: "It can only grow so high! Do you hear me?"
