Wei Jing and Fan Jun could do nothing, so they continued deep into the winding cave and turned a few corners. Two forked roads appeared in front of them, one was narrow and dark, and the other was wide and bright. There were several lights shaking inside. The two walked into the wide cave. There are more stinkweeds inside, but most of them are surrounded by ropes with names on them.
In some places, one or two weed pickers took up a large pile of stinky weeds and picked out beautiful and lush stinky weeds.
"What kind of rule is this?" Wei Jing yelled angrily after being chased away by several grass pickers.
Suddenly someone slapped me on the back, and when I turned around I saw a little brother, about the same age as him, with a bald head.
"Hello, I'm Wang Er, please call me Xiaoer." Wang Er smiled bitterly and whispered to Wei Jing: "You are new here, almost all the grass here has its owner, and it's the same further inside. "
"Hmph, that's so overbearing. Did they grow it themselves?" Wei Jing's anger was still lingering.
"These stinky weeds don't bloom. They grow because the insects pick up the seeds from nowhere and scatter them everywhere. It's not easy to grow stinky weeds. They die after about a year after they are picked. However, they live a long time here. These stinky weeds can survive for a long time. It's not necessarily a bad thing for a grassroots man to divide the territory and take care of the young grass. Think about it, if you let people pick it randomly, all the light will be lost, and it will be difficult to recover all of a sudden, and the people above will be suffocated to death." Wang Er explained.
Fan Jun said: "Little brother, you are right. However, we are in urgent need of a batch of stinky grass. We have other important matters, and we are not trying to compete with you for business. Is there any stinky grass that no one owns here that we can pick?"
Wang Er looked around, mysteriously pulled Wei Jing and Fan Jun away, and said in a low voice: "I found a lot of uninhabited stinky grass in a place, but it's a bit steep, so there's no one there. Let's go explore, maybe If we can cooperate in picking grass, if it goes well, we may be able to draw our own grass circle, which would be great."
Wei Jing and Fan Jun followed Wang Er dubiously, and went back around the original road. When they arrived at the original fork in the road, they entered the narrow and dark path. After several twists and turns, they came to a dead end.
The air here was stuffy, and there was no smelly grass. However, Wang Er was groping in the corner, removed a few big rocks, and uncovered a thick wooden board behind the big rocks, revealing a small hole, as big as a dog hole.
Wang Er got in first, then poked his head out and waved to the two of them. Wei Jing and Fan Jun followed them through the hole. The narrow hole was only one body long, and at the other end was a wide, dark cave.
Wei Jing and Wang Er were both young men and could easily slip through the cave.
Fan Jun was tall, so he had to push the oil lamp, luggage and other items to the other end with his toes, and then with all his strength, he finally managed to get through the hole, and he awkwardly patted the sand off his body.
Wei Jing held an oil lamp and looked around, fearing that poisonous insects would fly in.
"Don't worry, there are no poisonous insects here." Wang Er said as he took out two medicine bottles, handed one to Wei Jing, and said, "Because all the insects are eaten by snakes."
Before Wei Jing knew what he meant, Wang Er had already opened one of the bottles of medicine, poured the medicine inside into his hand, patted it on his body, and said: "Hurry up and pat the snake repelling medicine on your body. There is a nest of snakes here, and the smelly grass is in the snake." Behind the nest, we have to pass through the snake’s nest.”
Fan Jun and Wei Jing were stunned. Sure enough, they heard a rustling sound coming from ahead. They held up an oil lamp to shine it and vaguely saw a dozen snake shadows squirming on the ground at the other end of the dark tunnel. The two people quickly followed Wang Er's words, poured the snake-repelling potion into their hands, and patted their upper bodies. They only felt that the potion smelled pungent and unpleasant.
Wang Er led Fan Jun and Wei Jing forward. Wherever the oil lamp light reached, he saw more venomous snakes surrounding them, but they were forced by the pungent smell of medicine emanating from the three of them and did not dare to get close.
"Tsk, tsk, just to be on the safe side..." Wang Er took out three more bottles of potion, handed one to each of Wei Jing and Fan Jun, and ordered: "Use more potion, these snakes are not easy to mess with."
Wei Jing and Fan Jun took the medicine bottle and immediately touched it on their bodies. However, they felt that the smell in their noses was very different from the previous medicine. It smelled better.
"Wait, you guys wait for me here, I'll get the torch." Wang Erbian said, turned and left.
He only heard the rustling sounds around him getting louder, and the snake shadows in front of his eyes were swollen, as if they were being stimulated.
Wei Jing was alert and pulled Fan Jun to chase Wang Er, shouting: "We will go with you!"
"No, I'll just go by myself." Wang Er turned around and grinned, but he ran even faster.
"Why does the potion taste different?" Wei Jing asked loudly, but Wang Er didn't answer. He ran to the hole in the wall and got in.
"Wait!" Wei Jing chased after him and followed him into the hole, but the other end of the hole was dark. Wang Er actually blocked the wooden board and moved a stone to hold it against the wooden board. Wei Jing banged hard, and the other side of the hole was dark. No more movement.
"He blocked the entrance to the cave!" Wei Jing climbed out of the cave and yelled angrily.
Fan Jun was stunned, holding an oil lamp and looking at the entrance of the cave. As expected, the other end was blocked by wooden boards, and there was still a faint sound of the collision of stones, as if Wang Er was busy moving more stones.
"Snake! The snake is coming──" Wei Jing shouted in panic. He saw a mass of black snakes crawling in front of him. With a thought in his heart, he threw the empty medicine bottle in his hand and smashed it into the pile of snakes.
Before the medicine bottle even hit the ground, several snakes jumped up to bite it, biting into a ball.
"The second bottle of medicine that bastard asked us to apply was actually to lure a snake into biting us!" Wei Jing roared in shock.
"Drink!" Fan Jun was extremely frightened and threw the empty medicine bottle away, angrily yelling: "What a vicious boy, we didn't offend him!"
Fan Jun said as he put down his luggage and oil lamp and got into the cave.
But the cave was narrow, and he was squeezed inside. It was very difficult for him to even move his body, let alone use the strength to punch. He couldn't push the thick wooden board that was against several large rocks, so he had no choice but to exit.
Seeing the poisonous snake approaching, Wei Jing shook the insect repellent medicine in his hand, but the poisonous snake was not afraid at all.
Wei Jing lit another piece of linen and threw it away. When the snakes saw the light of the fire, they hissed, twisted and writhed, and then began to retreat.
The linen burned for a while, the fire gradually became smaller, and the poisonous snake approached again.
Wei Jing drew his long sword, and Fan Jun used the kidnapper as a club. The two of them killed several poisonous snakes that came around the fire.
Wei Jing looked around and saw a small bottle falling at the entrance of the hole. It was one of the three medicine bottles that Wang Er had just taken out.
Wang Er pretended that he wanted to use it, but did not pat his upper body. When he escaped through the hole, he fell on the ground.
Wei Jing reached out to pick up the small bottle, opened the cap and smelled it, expecting it to be a snake repellent potion, but the smell was fragrant, and it was still snake and monster attracting potion.
Wei Jing was so angry that he wanted to smash the bottle. Suddenly, he turned his head, took out a cloth shirt from his bag, poured snake luring potion on it, and used a lighter to light a corner of the cloth shirt.
The snake-attracting potion soaked in the cloth was forced by the fire, and the fragrance suddenly dissipated. The snakes were even more excited, and they all pounced on the cloth.
Wei Jing and Fan Jun took this opportunity to escape to a place with fewer snakes. Fan Jun had quick eyes and quick hands and ran ahead, crushing a bunch of snakes to death with his long feet;
Wei Jing followed behind, swiping his sword and cutting off many snake heads.
The two ran to the depths of the cave, but they found a dead end. There were only a few stinky weeds hanging on the wall. Wang Er's statement that "there are many uninhabited stinky weeds" was a lie, but they couldn't understand why Wang Er set this up. What is the purpose of this poisonous plan to frame them?
Far away from the cloth, a group of snakes were already fighting over each other, and their hissing sound echoed throughout the cave.
Fan Jun gathered his strength and concentration, trying to get a good position to resist the poisonous snake that was about to chase him.
Wei Jing was so angry that he jumped on his feet and kept cursing the eighteenth generation of Wang Er's ancestors. He casually grabbed the smelly grass on the wall, only to feel that the roots of the smelly grass were loose. He pulled hard and tore off a pile of earth and rocks.
Wei Jingzheng found it strange that there was a hole where the smelly grass grew, so he stretched out his hand to dig out and found a bigger hole.
I grabbed the oil lamp and looked inside. It was a large cave half as tall as a man, leading to another place.
"There are smelly snakes in front and strange holes in the back." Wei Jing looked at the cave carefully and saw some strange holes around the cave, but he didn't know what was hidden inside.
He swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, but when he turned around, he saw a dense swarm of snakes chasing him.
Fan Jun swung his crutch and killed several of them, and then his calf was bitten by a snake.
Fan Jun jumped to Wei Jing's side, and Wei Jing quickly took out the potion of Yao Sanji and asked Fan Jun to take it.
The two of them saw that there were so many snakes in front of them that they had no way out, so they had to get into the strange hole behind them.
Wei Jing was crawling in front. He felt itchy all over, as if there were many things crawling on his body. He was startled, wiped the back of his neck, and screamed: "Insects──"
Following this scream, clumps of black worms poured out from dozens of small holes in the strange cave and fell on the two men's bodies.
Although the insect repellent medicine in Wei Jing's hand was still burning, more bugs continued to fall, hitting the back of his neck and head.
"Oh my God──" Wei Jing and Fan Jun rolled and crawled, and finally rolled out of the other end of the cave. They jumped like monkeys, kicked their legs and shook their heads, and lit the insect repellent, finally getting rid of the bugs on their bodies. Drive away.
