Who is not a character in this mountain stronghold, from top to bottom, from old to young, armed with a knife and a gun? Isn't the old patriarch a figure? In the war era, he led the hot-blooded son-in-law of Jieshan stronghold to transport grain to the army, unload earth guns, abandon bandits from agriculture, face the Loess and back to the sky all his life, without complaint or regret.
Isn't the sixth master a character? He has guarded the Jieshan stronghold, his love, his worldly vision and the treasure he wants to protect. This is a lifelong thing. Can others try his day? Who can stand such loneliness and loneliness?
Qin Yuxi, who was walking behind the sixth master, slowly became silent. She didn't know how long she had been walking. She arrived at the front line of the sky, entered the Tianmen, and saw the stone master standing silently on the front line of the sky.
Since the approximate location of the treasure was leaked by Lord Shi, he has been living here for atonement. Seeing Qin Yuxi coming, Lord Shi slightly bent over the sixth Lord and Qin Yuxi to show his respect for the patriarch and his heirs.
"I'll bring Yu Xi here and see what she wants to guard."
The sixth master stopped in front of the stone master and motioned the stone master to lead the way in front.
Master Shi knew it, so he turned around, took sixth master and Qin Yuxi, entered a narrow gap in a line of Tianshi wall, and then entered a clump of woods, where there was a slight sound of water.
After a long walk into the forest, there is a water area. I don't know how deep it is, but it is very wide in the forest. There are messy weeds floating on the water. Among the weeds, there are black water snakes of different thickness.
There are many snakes in the mountains. People in the mountain stronghold are not afraid of strangers like snakes.
This kind of black water snake is often seen by Qin Yuxi. It is a specialty snake in this mountainous area, but it has never been found. This water area is the snake nest of this kind of snake. There are so many black snakes in the water area, which makes people's scalp numb.
"Every clan leader and heir of Jieshan stronghold will let the mother snake bite here. In the words of modern people, plant a vaccine. You can be safe when you have malaria."
The sixth Master explained to Qin Yuxi, took Qin Yuxi ahead, and then stopped at the edge of the water. A black snake slipped by without attacking.
Qin Yuxi said, "we have snake medicine on us. They are avoiding us."
Jieshan stronghold people have a kind of ancestral snake medicine, which can not only detoxify the snake, but also drive away the snake. When there is nothing to do on weekdays, Jieshan stronghold people also sprinkle some of this snake medicine into their own wine.
Therefore, there is no snake in Jieshan stronghold, and the mountain people are used to walking everywhere with snake medicine. That is, a black cloth bag is hung on the clothes of the newborn baby, which contains a bag of snake medicine.
When Dongshan garrison just arrived at Dongshan, it was also trapped by snakes. Later, it was found that the stockade at the foot of the mountain had snake medicine to drive away snakes and avoid snakes, and can detoxify snakes. Therefore, it often entered the mountain stockade to buy snake medicine.
In the past, Qin Yuxi only thought it was a specialty of Jieshan stronghold, but he never thought about why Jieshan stronghold had ancestral snake medicine. Why was the cloth bag with snake medicine hung on the little doll's clothes black?
Why are the totems on the threshing ground like snakes rather than snakes and like dragons rather than dragons?
"Because you are from Jieshan stronghold and took snake medicine since childhood, you were bitten by these black snakes. Your body will not be poisoned, but you will be vaccinated."
The sixth Master explained very difficultly. As a person who has not read a book, it is difficult for him to explain everything here from a scientific point of view, so others look like fantasy, but all this has its inevitable logic.
He looked back at Qin Yuxi and said:
"I see you're a girl. I used to tell you this story as a story. I just think that after a hundred years, someone can know what I've been sticking to all my life, but obviously someone has targeted these treasures. I'm afraid you can't deal with those bad guys in the future. I have to drag Zihan down for you."
The sixth Master said that on the day he inherited the position of patriarch, he and Shi conspired to stun Qin Yu and Xiqi Zihan, carry them here and let the black snake bite Qi Zihan.
Although Qi Zihan didn't take snake medicine since childhood, he was in good health. At least he came to Dongshan for three or four years. Because he liked Qin Yuxi, he went to the sixth master and Chen Yulian's house to buy snake medicine every three or five times. He couldn't use up all these snake medicine, so he soaked himself in water.
Especially in the winter and summer holidays every year, Qi Zihan is just like living in a snake nest. He wants to buy snake medicine three times a day, so he drinks a lot more diligently.
He drank all the snake medicine and found an excuse to buy it. In fact, the sixth master also saw that Qi Zihan just wanted to buy snake medicine under the excuse to see Qin Yuxi.
Therefore, Qi Zihan ate more snake medicine than any garrison in Dongshan for three or four years.
So, I planted a vaccine for Qi Zihan, but Qi Zihan didn't do anything at all.
As long as Qi Zihan is outside, those who have ideas about treasure can't hurt Qin Yuxi.
This is the sixth master's love for Qin Yuxi. Although he is a little selfish and dragged Qi Zihan into the water for no reason, if he tells Qi Zihan the truth, I believe Qi Zihan himself is willing.
While talking, the distant master Shi had come by in a boat. The sixth master and the silent Qin Yuxi got on the boat. The small boat passed through the trees growing in the water and entered the depths of the water.
Deep in the forest, a bluish white mist began to float, which was a kind of gas emitted by the decay and fermentation of trees planted here. The ancients called it miasma.
People without vaccines can't get through this miasma.
I don't know how long the boat has been going, the sixth master turned back and handed Qin Yuxi an egg and whispered:
"Have something to eat. We won't go back to the stockade until about evening."
Qin Yuxi took the egg, lowered her head, peeled off the egg shell, bit by bit, and then slowly red her eyes. She looked up at the sixth master and at the nearly ancient stone master supporting the boat. She asked in a dumb voice:
"You are like this, day and night every year, just to keep such a thing, is it worth it?"
The sixth master sitting in the bow didn't speak, turned his back to Qin Yuxi, and his back was as strong as Qin Yuxi's memory.
She was raised by the sixth master. Even if the sixth master didn't say it, Qin Yuxi understood the answer and didn't regret it.
Generations of people in Jieshan stronghold have never regretted.
From hundreds of years ago to hundreds of years later, even if the owner of the treasure did not come back, even though the sea and the earth changed.
No one wants to regret, and no one wants to stick to the faith for hundreds of years. Now, why should we continue to stick to it.
Keep it, generation after generation, is to keep it, don't let it be known, don't let outsiders take it away.
That's all!
