Chapter 1 Travelers Return Home

Three days ago, Lu Xi had a dream of "getting promoted", but he woke up and let people clean up. The former boss of the company turned to his new boss in the twinkling of an eye. When he left the door with a cardboard box in his arms, no one sent him away.

Having tasted the bitterness and intrigue of big cities, Lu Xi temporarily gave up the idea of looking for another job, took a rest for a month, and thought about how to go in the future. It was almost the New Year.

After a nine hour drive, Lu Xi got off the train, got on the bus and took a motorcycle. Lu Xi finally returned to the familiar Yaozi Village.

"Lu Xige, why did you come back?" A motorcycle drove to the entrance of the village from the outside and stopped beside Lu Xige, a familiar person, "125".

Lu Xi put down his suitcase and said hello, "Xiao Feng, long time no see."

Lu Feng is Lu Xi's cousin, who has been separated for several generations. Their grandparents are brothers. Lu Feng has long hair that is not mainstream. In the words of his father, it is called "neither sex nor gender".

Lufeng said, "Lu Xige, get on the bus and I'll give you a few steps."

Lu Xi didn't show any affectation. He was hundreds of meters away from his house at the entrance of the village. His motorcycle didn't enter the village, so he stopped at the entrance of the village.

When I got home, my parents looked the same way. I was surprised that I didn't mention going home to the Erlao in advance. I asked him many questions about resignation. Lu Xi always said, "It's not going well. I resigned."

"That's a good job. Why do you resign?" Mother Lu said. She used to brag to people in the village that Lu used to be a senior manager. Now when she resigns, someone might secretly laugh.

"Come on, stop nagging and go cook." Lu Guoqing is a "wise monarch" at home. He has read more for several years, and his way of thinking is different from that of Lu Mu. Seeing that Lu Xi didn't want to say anything, he gave up the chattering Lu Mu.

Lu Guoqing said, "Go take a bath and eat."

Lu Xi went up to the second floor. Looking forward from the window, many houses around him were made of tile, mud brick, and moss covered the roof. His home is a brick house. Lu Guoqing went out to work early years and built the house after earning money. It has two floors and costs more than 100000 yuan up and down.

Turn on the water heater and take a hot bath. In Yaozi Village, where many families are burning hot water, Lu Guoqing has equipped his family with water heaters, refrigerators and 34 inch LCD TVs, which are still avant-garde high-tech in the eyes of most families in the village.

"Dad, who is raising fish in the village pond?" Lu Xi asked at the dinner table.

Lu Guoqing said, "The fish pond is out of use. Three years ago, your six uncles raised it for a while, but no one dared to take over after losing more than 200000 yuan."

The fish pond in the village is not small, and there are more than 20 mu of land. When he was young, Lu Xi liked to fish big belly fish there. One earthworm can be divided into three or four sections, and can catch more than a dozen.

Hearing Lu Xi's words, Lu Mu quickly said, "The water in the fish pond stinks, and no one dries up the pond. There are all kinds of germs. You can't come back to raise fish without getting hot in the head. I don't agree."

Lu Xi explained: "I don't have this plan for the time being. Seeing the fish pond from afar, I asked casually. By the way, what is Lu Feng doing at home?"

Lu Mu said, "I heard that I made a lot of money raising pigs at home in the first half of the year. If you don't want to work, you can learn how to raise pigs at home. Pork prices have soared in recent years."

Lu Xi thanks for this. There are six or seven households raising pigs in Yaozi Village. If we do it again, we will fight for jobs. Good pigs can be said to be rare when they are few, but if there are many, it is estimated that there is no good price. All pig collectors know how to shop around.

Following the trend is a fatal disease.

After a meal, Lu Xijing learned a lesson. It was all Lu's mother talking. He and Lu Guoqing listened.

When I woke up, it was half past eight in the morning. Lu Xi was exhausted yesterday and fell asleep as soon as he lay down. But no matter how tired he was, he could always get up at this point. It was a habit he formed at work.

Hungry, he rummaged through the cupboard after washing and found an apple in the refrigerator. Rural people seldom talk about breakfast, because the "food day" is around 10 o'clock.

Three meals a day, Yaozi Village is called "morning and night", which is a translation of Hakka dialect.

Lu Guoqing came back from outside and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Xi said, "I've been up the mountain for a long time to see the scenery."

Lu Guoqing said, "Take Xiaomao and catch a hare."

Xiaomao is a dog of Lu Xi's family, a Chinese garden dog, mixed with yellow and white pigments. The name comes from its mother, Da Mao, a big yellow dog stolen by a dog dealer.

"Tut tut..." Lu Xi made this noise, and Xiaomao came running over. He fed them two bones yesterday, and the dog didn't recognize strangers.

Three or four miles south of Yaozi Village is the Big Green Hill, also known as the Hundred Thousand Mountain. Few people dare to run into it in summer. Wolves and leopards are light, so they are afraid of stepping on snakes.

A few years ago, a young man from a village went hunting in the mountain, but he didn't come back after dark. The family was worried and called the police. The town sent 20 policemen to search the mountain overnight. After searching all day and all night, they found people in a snake pit. The bodies were covered with various poisonous snakes, and the bodies became black.

Several policemen vomited at that time.

It is early winter now. The weather is getting colder and colder. The air temperature is only 12 ℃ when we go out. All snakes hibernate, but we can't take it lightly when we go up the mountain. This is the season when wild boars go out to look for food.

There are many wild animals in Big Green Hill. Hunting rabbits and wild boars is not a crime. Because every few years, there will be a flood of rabbits or wild boars hurting people, so the town has specially given hunting indicators.

Stepping on the dry leaves, the harsh voice on the silent mountain looks very clear. Although the leaves on the trees are withered and yellow, the scenery is still pleasant. Only the forest park can see the beautiful scenery in the city.

Xiaomao suddenly ran out. After a whining sound, he picked up a gray rabbit weighing three or four kilograms and threw it in front of Lu Xi, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail.

"What a good boy." Lu Xi touched Xiaomao's head and said happily that there are many dogs in the countryside, but not many dogs can hunt. Xiaomao is the most outstanding one among hunting dogs.

Lu Xi's sharp eyes accidentally saw a black and white snake crawling in the lush weeds. It was a very common poisonous snake, "dustpan armour", whose scientific name was Bungarus multicinctus.

One of the three most common venomous snakes in summer and autumn in Yaozi Village, the Bungarus multicinctus often haunts the stream. The most important thing to be careful about is this snake when you go to the stream to fish at night.

"Bark, bark!"

Xiaomao barked restlessly twice. Lu Xi calmed him down, picked up a long branch and gently lifted the dustpan armour. The snake seemed to be stimulated, acting like an aggressive attack.

Just about to throw the dustpan armour, the next second, Lu Xi didn't even want the branches, so he quickly stepped back and jumped several steps.

Not only was there a dustpan in the lush grass, but he also saw a mountain breeze, that is, King Cobra, the longest poisonous snake in the world.

The mountain crossing wind is bigger than his wrist and can't hold it in a basin. This kind of snake can not only bite people, but also hurt people across the sky. If its poison hits the eyes, people will be blind.

Lu Xi had two questions in his mind.

Snakes don't hibernate?

Wind energy and dustpan armour coexist peacefully?

The former is not sure. After all, it is just the beginning of winter, and the temperature is not very low. The snake does not hibernate at this time, which may be a problem of temperature. It has not reached the hibernation temperature. But the second question is weird.

The mountain breeze is based on other snakes. How can it coexist with dustpan armour? One snake was an accident, and two snakes made Lu Xi think about it. They were two different snakes.

Is there something in the haystack that attracts two snakes?

The haystack of less than 10 square meters is out of place compared with the withered and yellow ones in other places. The green color is very striking. In order to observe the situation of the haystack, Luxi climbed up the tree to take a commanding position.

If you don't see or know, you will be shocked.

The silver ring snake and the king cobra are not the only snakes in the haystack. There is a golden and black golden ring snake, an unknown adder with a triangular head like withered leaves, and two king brocade snakes.

In the small haystack, there are always eight or nine snakes, and there are three silver snakes alone.

"Hiss!"

Lu Xi took a breath. If he had reached out his hand rashly just now, no matter which snake bit him, he would have lost half his life. Maybe he would have left it here.

The king cobra straightened up and stood a full meter high, hissing at the barking fur. Lu Xi saw a gray clay sculpture under it, which was very similar to the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall.

"Is it that thing that attracts so many snakes?" Lu Xi said to himself. He couldn't help but have a big head. It's really difficult to grab something from so many snakes. Other snakes are easy to say, but the king cobra, which is four or five meters long, is the most difficult to deal with.
