Chapter 30 If difficulties knock me down
The ancient giant python is rampant in the jungle. This huge monster is two or three meters in diameter, and its face is as tall as a door.
The python was more than 40 meters long, and when it moved, it blocked out the sky and the sun, and it carried with it rolling yellow sand. Its weight and strength were so great that it broke the trees in the forest alive, making a creaking sound.
It moved extremely fast. If we hadn't started running in advance, we would have become food in its spacious stomach.
But even so, the snake kept getting closer and closer. The noise behind them became louder and louder, and everyone ran out of the forest as fast as they could.
Zhong Jialing quickly looked back, and damn, she could even smell the earthy smell of the snake.
Zhong Jialing shouted, "Find a way to stop it! It's not tired at all, we can't run any further!"
Luo Jiu: "I was thinking, it would be nice if there was something that could interfere with its vision."
Feng Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll shoot out one of its eyes."
As she spoke, she quickly took the bow and arrow from her back, rolled forward, turned around, aimed at Snake Eyes, and shot out with a whoosh.
However, the snake was sharp enough to sense her intention and flicked its head to avoid the vital parts, causing the arrow to hit its hard black scales and fall away instantly.
Feng Qi was so shocked that he stammered, "It, it, it...it will hide!"
The Shangding Cave people then threw out wooden sticks. They had been hunting for years, and a thrown wooden stick could penetrate the tree trunk by two or three centimeters. But when it was thrown at the big snake, it had no effect at all.
At the critical moment, Cheng Yaoyao took out the firecrackers and fireworks prepared for the New Year and threw them over.
The sound of firecrackers crackled and fireworks shot up in front of the big snake. It had never seen such things and stopped hesitantly.
While the big snake was stunned, everyone crawled out of the dense forest, started the car and drove away at high speed.
This is the biggest crisis they have encountered since their arrival in ancient times.
The four of them didn't speak along the way. When they arrived at the cave, they handed the prey to the cavemen to deal with, and then went back to the cave and lay down together.
Recalling the scene just now, everyone felt secretly terrified. They couldn't imagine how many people would be able to come back alive today if they were caught up by the big snake.
This behemoth exceeded their previous understanding. It was as big as a moving mountain, with black scales all over its body, and was invulnerable to swords and arrows.
This giant snake gave them an unprecedented sense of frustration. Luo Jiu lay there thinking for a long time, but still couldn't think of any tool that could kill the giant snake.
She tried to encourage everyone, "It's okay, we will work hard to develop it, and one day we will be able to put an end to it."
Feng Qi still felt his scalp tingling when he recalled the appearance of the giant snake. "How far do we have to go before we can kill it? I think we need to use armor-piercing bullets to kill it."
Cheng Yaoyao racked her brains and thought about the things she had stockpiled. "We don't have armor-piercing bullets, but will firecrackers work? They are very powerful. Someone in our village set them off and had his hand blown off during the New Year."
Zhong Jialing: "Then we have to throw the firecrackers into its stomach, otherwise I don't think it will explode. Any of its scales is bigger than a wash basin. I think it can crush us into meat patties with just a little pressure."
Luo Jiu sighed, "At this time, we should not boost the enemy's morale and destroy our own prestige. Let's be optimistic and tell some good news."
"On the bright side..." Zhong Jialing thought hard, "No one in the caves wets their pants in class anymore."
Cheng Yaoyao nodded. "Yes, this is a big improvement for them. And it's not that they don't know to go to the bathroom, they are just afraid of delaying the class. If you think about it this way, they are quite studious."
"Yes, they are not lazy at all and have worked very hard. What do you think? Jiuer..."
Feng Qi turned his head and found that Luo Jiu had closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Cheng Yaoyao hushed, "Don't call her. She thinks too much every day and is too tired. Let her rest for a while."
So the four of them lay there straight, vividly demonstrating what it meant that if difficulties knock me down, I will lie down and fall asleep on the spot.
Soon, the aroma of meat came from outside the cave. Datian lifted a corner of the curtain and called out softly, "Third Mom, the pheasant is stewed."
Cheng Yaoyao said "hmm", and felt that she hadn't left yet, so she looked up and asked, "Anything else?"
Datian leaned against the door, twisted his fingers and asked, "Can we watch TV now?"
Cheng Yaoyao went out for a while and put on TV for them. After a while, when she came back to bed, Datian's second brother came again.
Second brother: "Auntie."
Feng Qi: "What's wrong?"
The second brother: "Big, I'm looking for the big, knife."
He said he had found a big prey and should be rewarded with a machete.
Feng Qi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Did he really think he had done something great?
But she thought again, it was they who said that the bigger the better. The cavemen were stubborn, so she couldn't blame them.
Feng Qi picked out a machete for him and he went there happily.
After a while, Datian came again, "Second Mother."
Zhong Jialing said: "Your second mother is asleep, tell me what's going on."
Datian: "Third sister's feet are bleeding."
Zhong Jialing and Cheng Yaoyao looked at each other and hurriedly took the medicine box to check.
Judging from the wound, it was caused by a sharp thorn.
It must have been when they were escaping in the jungle. Everyone was busy and had no time to take care of themselves, so they came back in a hurry. The four of them were all depressed at the time, so no one noticed that she was injured, and she didn't say anything.
If Datian hadn't come to report it, she would have endured it and hidden aside, waiting for herself to heal.
Cheng Yaoyao frowned as she cleaned her wound and applied medicine.
Zhong Jialing couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell us you were hurt? How do you say it hurts? Haven't I taught you how to say it? Why didn't you tell us?"
The third sister looked at her face timidly and whispered, "It doesn't hurt."
Zhong Jialing didn't believe it, "How could it not hurt?"
The cave dwellers did not wear shoes all year round, so their feet were covered with thick calluses. But even so, the sharp wooden thorns still penetrated four or five centimeters deep, and it took a long time for the bleeding to stop.
The third sister bit her lip, her dark skin looked a little paler, and she said carefully: "You are tired and unhappy. I am afraid you will be unhappy if I tell you that it hurts."
Zhong Jialing was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Luo Jiu standing there at some point. They looked at each other with complicated expressions.
It was from this moment that Luo Jiu began to realize that the four of them had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders.
The cavemen called them mothers, learned everything from them, and regarded them as the heads of the family and their spiritual support.
Once they show signs of irritability, fatigue and disappointment, some people can sense it.
They were depressed today. These cavemen were like little kids who dared not say a word when their parents lost their temper. The whole atmosphere was depressed.
They have unknowingly assumed the role of the commander-in-chief, and must shoulder the responsibility of the commander-in-chief and learn to lead a team.
You can't be like high school students, who put on a world-weary face when they get emotional and only care about themselves. They look at people so scared that they think the sky is falling, and they dare not speak even when they are hurt.
Luo Jiu quickly adjusted his thinking and said to Datian: "Call everyone here, I have something to say to everyone."
Datian said, "Third brother and second sister are out."
Luo Jiu: "It's time for dinner, where are they going?"
Datian said, “Look for the big one.”
Luo Jiu's head buzzed, "Oh my god, where can I find it? It really makes me worry."
Luo Jiu drove quickly, took Feng Qi and Datian with him, picked up their equipment, and hurried to the direction Datian pointed to look for someone.
They were afraid that they would find another huge creature and they would be wiped out if they were not careful.
Datian’s third brother and second sister were very lucky. They found a wild boar in another forest.
The wild boar was quite strong, and looked like a calf, with long fangs and great brute force. It went up and knocked the two of them over.
These two guys were not very brave, they just got up and ran away.
When Luo Jiu drove over, he happened to see the two of them being chased by a wild boar.
Feng Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Even wild boars dare to bully our people. Damn it, they are rebelling against it!"
Feng Qi asked Luo Jiu to go and pick someone up first. She jumped out of the car and said she would be there soon.
Datian threw a few sticks and took the opportunity when the wild boar dodged to quickly pull her brother and sister into the car.
Luo Jiu didn't know what Feng Qi was doing. The electric tricycle she was driving was very light, and she couldn't fight the wild boar head-on, so she just drove nearby, leading the wild boar around in circles.
At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded behind me.
Luo Jiu looked over and saw that Feng Qi had driven out a four-wheeled vehicle. The tall four-wheeled vehicle was loaded with fertilizer.
With this tonnage, let alone wild boars, even elephants would dare to give it a head-on test.
Luo Jiu turned around and led the wild boar over. Feng Qi stepped on the accelerator and slammed into the running wild boar.
