Chapter 140: The Generosity of the Snake King (740)
Chapter 140 The Snake King is Generous (740+)
The Snake King thought about it for a while, yes, if He Tiantian lied to it, it would be just once, and he would not believe her next time.
Furthermore, the little girl He Tiantian is timid and a little clever, but she will never deceive it.
"In that case, I promise you to go to the back mountain at night." The Snake King agreed. He hadn't been in the water for a long time and felt uncomfortable all over.
He Tiantian prepared the tools that she could use, put them in a backpack, and just carried them away at night.
At night, He Tiantian suddenly remembered, what if Grandma Qi San got up in the middle of the night and went to her house and saw no one in the house?
"Why aren't you leaving?" Snake King asked, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to come back in the middle of the night."
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "I'd better sleep in the first half of the night and go in the second half of the night. This way, when Grandma Qi is fast asleep, she won't notice that I'm out."
"Okay then, you go to sleep, I'll call you later." The Snake King was ready to give it a try.
After twelve o'clock in the morning, the Snake King woke up He Tiantian.
He Tiantian carried the bamboo basket on her back and climbed up the wall to go out.
In order to avoid meeting people in the village, the Snake King made He Tiantian invisible.
He Tiantian ran to get to the back mountain as quickly as possible, and arrived at the secret base on the back mountain in less than an hour.
The Snake King had already felt the passion inside, jumped off He Tiantian, and climbed into the pool in the cave.
He Tiantian followed and found that the water pool inside was larger than before. The terrain on the west side of the cave is relatively high and has not been flooded by the spring water.
The snake king swam back and forth in the pool, sometimes swimming on his back, sometimes swimming in an S shape; sometimes he was completely underwater, and sometimes his head was exposed above.
"Snake King, as promised, what about hunting?" He Tiantian saw that Snake King looked happy and careless, and carefully reminded him that he didn't just come here to play, he also had to work!
The Snake King turned a deaf ear until he was tired from playing. He Tiantian was about to fall asleep while sitting on the side, then he lay down on the big stone and said lazily: "Get up, the prey is coming."
He Tiantian woke up in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a row of wild rabbits in front of her, dozens of them.
"So many?" He Tiantian was dumbfounded, "Snake King, although I want to catch more, I can't catch all the rabbits on the mountain at once."
After the Snake King exercise, he was in a very good mood, and continued to say in a good voice: "The back mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are countless rabbits in them. This is just a few. Even if you catch fifty rabbits in one day, it will only last a year." More than 10,000 are nothing. Hurry up, if we don’t take action, we have to go down the mountain.”
As soon as He Tiantian heard this, she didn't hesitate for a moment, took out the tools, and started to deal with these rabbits.
After peeling off the skin and removing the internal organs, they washed it at the water outlet of the pool, and all the dirt was washed away.
In this cave, He Tiantian had previously made a rack for drying rabbits. After He Tiantian marinated it, he directly tied a small rope around the rabbit's neck and hung it on it.
From the open air of the cave, he saw that it was getting light outside. He Tiantian stopped and counted the wild rabbits on the shelf. There were twenty-two. He Tiantian also cleaned up the rabbit skin on the ground and hung it on the other side. This thing can also be sold.
"Let's go. If you don't go, the villagers will get up." The snake king urged. It was also tired and wanted to take a nap.
One person and one snake returned home and just hid in the house.
Grandma Qi San got up. He Tiantian changed clothes inside and got up too.
She is in good health now and is embarrassed to let Grandma Qi cook every day.
After another two days, Grandma Qi San let He Tiantian go to the back mountain.
Zuo Li and Xiang Rong were very happy to see He Tiantian coming over and said: "Tiantian girl, you are finally back. We dug a few traps in the back mountain. We were going to take a look today. You come with us." Well. With someone as lucky as you, we may be able to catch more prey."
"I said I was lucky, but that was nonsense. Uncle Zuo, Uncle Xiang takes it seriously!" He Tiantian joked, not wanting everyone and their hopes to pin their hopes on her, even though she intended to help.
"Don't believe these things. When we fought in the past, we were very particular about it. We hope to reuse people with strong ability and good luck. Such people can lead the people around them and make them think that they can win the war as long as they follow them. Come back alive." Zuo Li said, "You are our hope now. Come on, hurry up. It's too cold today and we urgently need fur to keep warm."
Only then did He Tiantian notice that their clothes were very thin and could not withstand the cold wind.
"Okay, let's leave now. If we don't gain much, you can't blame me." He Tiantian said, following Zuo Li and Xiang Rong up the back mountain.
Although Zuo Li and Xiang Rong are not experienced hunters, they are good at observation and know the places where animals pass by. Digging traps in these places usually yields results.
Seeing how pitiful they were, He Tiantian softened her heart and asked the Snake King to drive many wild rabbits over.
Now even if you catch tigers or bears, you can't sell them, and you are not allowed to catch rabbits and pheasants. Not only can you eat the meat, but you can also skin the furs to make clothes, which is the most cost-effective way.
"Xiang Rong, look, there are actually six rabbits in this trap." Zuo Li shouted, "Oh my God, I can finally wear a leather jacket."
"That's right, that's right. If you save a little, you can buy two leather jackets." He Tiantian said, "Uncle Zuo, Uncle Xiang, how many traps have you dug in total?"
In fact, He Tiantian had learned from the Snake King that they had a total of seven traps. In one trap, put two or three rabbits and one or two pheasants. It was almost enough if there were not empty traps.
The Snake King was very generous and actually put six wild rabbits. I don’t know how many were in the other traps.
“Seven, if each of them had so many, we would have a better life this winter.” Xiang Rong returned and said, “We spent a lot of effort to dig these traps. The shovels of the livestock team were broken by us. Fortunately, Uncle Qi was here to help us cover it up.”
“Haha, you guys worked hard too.” He Tiantian smiled. Fortunately, these people set traps, otherwise He Tiantian would have a headache about how to help them.
When they reached the second trap, He Tiantian was shocked and said, “Oh my, there are not only rabbits in it, but also goats!”
He Tiantian only asked the Snake King to drive away the rabbits. This goat should have fallen down by itself.
Zuo Li looked down in the direction of He Tiantian’s finger and was overjoyed!
"Oh my, look at that ewe's big belly, it looks like there's a baby in it." Zuo Li said excitedly, if it's alive, then we can keep it, give birth to lambs, and have goat milk to drink.
