Tang Niannian really didn't want to raise a cold-blooded animal, but she couldn't force this little snake to go away. After all, she was the one who provoked them in the first place.
The little snake shook its head vigorously. Recently, it had been eating and drinking well in space, and it had become increasingly mellow. Its originally cold vertical pupils had turned into clear stupidity, and it looked more cute and cute.
It's not stupid. There are delicious food and drinks here at the two-legged female beast. Why does it want to go back to the mountain to be exposed to the wind and sun and starve?
The little snake worked hard to arch its round body and pressed hard against Tang Niannian's legs. The tip of its tail was also swaying. It followed what Baisui and Fubao did. If the four-legged beast knew it, it could do it too!
"Go away, don't touch me!"
Tang Niannian pulled it away. It was a cold-blooded snake, and now it was acting like a pug. It was so ungrateful!
What about Gao Leng?
The little snake rolled to the ground, then crawled over and wrapped itself around Tang Niannian's feet. It wouldn't let go anyway, it wanted to hug the two-legged female beast's thigh tightly!
Tang Niannian was so angry and amused by it that she lifted it up by its tail.
The little snake twisted into a twist in the air, and its cute little eyes showed a hint of flattery and obedience, which meant that this guy couldn't speak, otherwise it would definitely say: "Master, I will show you a twist, please watch it!" "
"Okay, from now on you can call it Lucky!"
Tang Nian thought on its head. After flicking it a little, I finally gave it a name.
Once she takes a name, she becomes her family, a family she will never abandon for the rest of her life.
"Sssssssssss..."
Zhaocai spit out the letter happily, and his chubby body was twisted so hard that it almost cramped. It also has a name. It will no longer be a lonely snake in the future!
Tang Niannian threw Lucky into the space, climbed to the top of the cave, and lay down with his ears close to the ground.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
There was a sound coming from the hole. It was obviously Zhou Siming and others digging, but there was not much movement. It must be that the tools were not in hand. At this speed, it would take at least ten and a half days to dig.
How long can humans survive with sufficient water and no food?
Tang Niannian didn't think about it, but he could last at least ten days.
Ten days later, Zhou Siming wondered if he would still be alive?
Tang Niannian is looking forward to it!
As for Wei Zhangcheng's search and rescue team, they were all in disarray. They spent the whole day looking for people on the mountain and were distracted. Although the Zhou family held a high and powerful position, this was not the capital, but the cities far away from the emperor. Old man Zhou The claws are not that long.
Tang Niannian patted the water and went down the mountain with a basket on her back. In the basket was the wild lettuce she had picked. This wild vegetable looked a bit like dandelion. After it was blanched, it was chopped into pieces and stir-fried with dried tofu and diced pork and ham. It tasted very good.
wild lettuce
However, she doesn't like wild lettuce very much. Among the wild vegetables, the most delicious ones are lettuce and shepherd's purse. She just picked them on the hillside and brought them back to Mrs. Tang for business.
Tang Niannian also dug up a lot of wild lettuce roots and put them into the space. Rabbits especially like to eat these.
In addition, I also picked some milk from Grandpa, which is basically ripe in May, and there is also a kind of thorn bubble. Tang Niannian likes to eat it, but not many are ripe. Most of them are green and sour. It will taste better if the weather is hotter. .
In the local dialect, it is called Grandpa Milk. I don’t know its scientific name. It seems to be mature in May.
Spicy, delicious
When we got home, it was already dark. Mrs. Tang stood and looked around at the door of the courtyard. She felt relieved and said angrily: "It's already dark and you haven't come back yet. Your third uncle said that there are many venomous snakes on the mountain. You should be careful in the future." go!"
"oh!"
Tang Niannian agreed obediently and had to go anyway.
"What's so delicious about this grass? I can't even finish the vegetables at home!"
Mrs. Tang took the basket and saw the basket full of wild lettuce. She was so disgusted that pigs only eat this stuff.
“Stir-fried pork and dried tofu, delicious!”
Tang Niannian strongly asked the old lady to stir-fry a bowl. Old lady Tang glared at her and cursed before going to stir-fry.
Tang Niannian and Jiu Jin shared the food with Grandpa Gong and Ci Pao.
Another day passed, and Zhou Siming had been missing for two days and two nights. The matter could no longer be concealed, so Zhucheng had no choice but to call the Zhou family in the capital to report truthfully.
"Siming has been missing for two days, why are you reporting it now?" Mr. Zhou was so angry that he almost broke his molars.
"I originally thought it was just a minor problem and we could find Comrade Zhou Siming, but two days have passed and Comrade Zhou Siming and his colleagues have not been found. Old chief, I'm sorry, it's our dereliction of duty!"
"Hurry and look for it. Even if you dig up the mountain, you still have to find Siming!"
Mr. Zhou tried hard to control his anger. There was no news about Si Ren and Siming was also missing. Is this place Zhucheng in conflict with the Zhou family?
He suddenly regretted that he should not have sent his grandson to Zhucheng. He had already damaged Si Liang and Si Ren. Why did he still have a hothead and send Siming to Zhucheng to find treasures?
He underestimated the enemy too much!
The Tang family must have placed people in Zhucheng to protect the treasure, so Si Ren and Siming suffered a loss.
Mr. Zhou's eyes turned cold, and he had to go to Zhucheng himself.
It had been four days since Zhou Siming disappeared. Wei Zhangcheng and the others looked for people on the mountain every day. They seemed to be working very hard. They went up the mountain at dawn in the morning and went down after dark at night. Everyone was so tired that they lost a lot of weight.
But no one could be found, Zhou Siming and the others seemed to have disappeared from the world.
As for the cave, Wei Zhangcheng and the others didn't look for it anymore, because every time they went to the cave, the group of venomous snakes would appear, and there were even more venomous snakes than that night. There were hundreds of densely packed venomous snakes, but they just watched from a distance. , my scalp feels numb.
No one dared to get into trouble and stayed far away from the cave.
The county town sent many more people, and the search and rescue team grew stronger and stronger. There were fifty or sixty people. Villagers from Tangcun also joined in, in order to earn one yuan a day.
As long as you go up the mountain to find someone, give them one dollar, which is better than going out to work.
All the men, women, and children from Tang Village went to the mountains, including Tang Jiujin, Tang Niannian, and Tang Manjin. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.
If Mrs. Tang didn't have to go to work, she would definitely go up the mountain.
"It's really evil. Why are those snakes just standing there? Could it be that they have some kind of treasure?"
A villager whispered softly. He had just seen those snakes from a distance and his legs were weak.
I have lived for more than 40 years, but I have never seen so many snakes, let alone the mountains behind Tangcun. There are so many snakes. Where were they hidden before?
In fact, these snakes climbed over from other mountains because they heard that there is a beautiful two-legged female beast here, and there is an excellent job, including food, shelter, and water that can make them stronger. No need to do anything, just stay at the entrance of the cave.
No stupid snake would refuse such a good thing, so snakes from dozens of miles around came to work for Tang Niannian.
"You have a fart baby. Snakes like places with strong Yin energy. There might be zombies in that cave."
"I've never seen a zombie, but my dad said that he had a cousin who went up the mountain to chop wood before liberation and found a large beehive on a grave with a lot of honey. He brought it back and ate it, and ended up covered in It’s painful sores, and the old man said it’s coffin honey, and if it’s stained with corpse poison, whoever eats it will die!”
"I've heard about this too. Anyway, you can't eat the things growing on the grave bags. You'll be in bad luck if you eat them!"
…
The topic gradually changed, and everyone discussed the supernatural legends with great interest. Some were true and some were hearsay. They were looking for people aimlessly in the mountains. They were bored and told stories to relieve their boredom.
As for Zhou Siming, whose life or death is unknown, the villagers don't care. They just want to make a dollar easily.
