After Li Yuemin finished making the arrangements, he took out the cowhide water bag from his waist, emptied the water inside, and skillfully cut it open with a dagger to make simple armor that he tied around his arms and calves.
Then he took off his smelly socks and tore them into strips. He tied them around himself and gave them to Zhang Chuntao and Li Guolin.
“There are a lot of pythons in this patch, and you tie them around your ankles and wrists, and the pythons hate the smell.
Then, while it is still light, you two should go down the mountain immediately, ask my father-in-law to call the commune to borrow a sidecar motorcycle, and wait for pick-up at the foot of the mountain.
After I rescue Xiaoxue, I will immediately send her to the hospital, understand?"
After saying that, Li Yuemin lowered his head and glanced at Hu Zi beside him:
"Tiger, sniff!"
"Woof!"
Hu Zi, who was very human, immediately understood what was going on. He lowered his head and followed the fresh drag marks.
"Aqiang, Ahong, you two follow me!"
...
...
Li Yuemin waved his hand and followed closely with the two little wolf cubs.
He held the crossbow tightly in his right hand and his left hand was on the old-fashioned rifle at his waist.
One man and three dogs tracked the car up the hillside. The drag marks became more and more obvious, and traces of scraped scales and sporadic bloodstains appeared on the snow from time to time.
Li Yuemin's heart sank. It seemed that Xiaoxue was in great danger.
"Woof! Woof!"
Suddenly, Hu Zi stopped in front of a rock wall, his back hair stood up, and he let out a threatening growl.
Seeing this, Li Yuemin immediately stopped and approached quietly.
But there was a hole half a person's height on the rock wall, surrounded by thin ice, and there were obvious traces of mucus on the edge of the hole.
“Found it!”
Li Yuemin was delighted when he saw this. According to his previous experience, this was the legendary python cave.
Listening carefully, two completely different "hissing" sounds and a strange friction sound were heard from deep in the cave.
Judging from the situation, it seems that there are two snakes fighting.
"Great, both big guys are in there."
Li Yuemin touched Hu Zi's head:
"Remember, save people first, then kill the python."
After saying that, Li Yuemin lit a torch, and with the help of the light from the fire, he carefully bent down and entered the cave.
The air in the cave was turbid, mixed with the smell of blood and the unique fishy smell of snakes.
Li Yuemin bent down and walked forward, with Huzi and Langcub following closely behind.
After walking for about a few dozen steps, the cave gradually became wider.
After turning another corner, the view suddenly opened up.
What comes into view is a natural stone chamber the size of a basketball court, with animal bones scattered on the ground.
In the center of the stone chamber, two giant pythons were confronting each other.
A light brown snake, as thick as a bucket, coiled into a huge formation.
The other one was dark grey, slightly smaller but more ferocious, and was raising its upper body and making a threatening hissing sound.
On the ground between the two snakes, Xiaoxue was lying unconscious.
The cotton-padded jacket had been torn open, and there were several bleeding marks on **'s abdomen.
"Great! The first snake didn't strangle her."
Seeing this, Li Yuemin couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
He observed the terrain: the only exit of the stone chamber was the passage they came in through, with two pythons blocking the middle.
Xiaoxue was lying about fifteen meters away from him, and to save her he had to go through two giant pythons.
Seeing the scary giant python, Hu Zi couldn't help but growl instinctively and dug the ground with his front paws, trying to attack forward.
The wolf cub behind him also howled, trying to imitate Hu Zi's movements and move forward.
"Don't act rashly!!"
Seeing this, Li Yuemin immediately reached out and held down the three animals that were eager to try.
He picked up a bone from the ground and threw it hard to the other end of the stone chamber.
“Bang!”
The bones hit the rock wall with a crisp sound, and the two pythons turned towards the source of the sound at the same time.
"Now!"
Seeing that the python's attention was attracted by him, Li Yuemin seized the opportunity and rushed towards Xiaoxue with all his might.
“Hiss!!”
But just after he ran a few steps, the dark gray python noticed the movement and turned its head towards him like lightning!
Li Yuemin was prepared and raised his arms wrapped in cowhide to block in front of him.
The python's sharp teeth bit into the cowhide, making a teeth-aching friction sound.
He took the opportunity to throw the smelly cloth strip at the python's head. The snake immediately twisted its huge body in pain and opened its mouth.
"Tiger!"
Li Yuemin shouted.
Hu Zi took the order and pounced on another light brown python like an arrow, biting it precisely at the vital point.
The python felt pain and no longer cared about Xiaoxue. It turned around and started fighting with Huzi.
Li Yuemin took the opportunity to rush to Xiaoxue and checked her breath. Fortunately, she was still alive!
He quickly checked the injury: the ribs might be broken, but the internal organs should be fine.
Just as he was about to carry Xiaoxue on his back, he heard Hu Zi's shrill scream from behind.
The dark grey python got rid of the interference of the smelly sweaty cloth strips and pounced towards Hu Zi!
The hound was trapped between two giant pythons and its hind legs were entangled.
Seeing this, Li Yuemin quickly put Xiaoxue down, picked up the crossbow, and fired two arrows in succession!
“Swoosh!!”
The first arrow hit the light brown python's eye, and the snake began to twist wildly.
The second arrow was shot at the dark gray python's head, but unexpectedly, it dodged it nimbly.
The two injured pythons were completely enraged. They gave up on Hu Zi and attacked Li Yuemin at the same time!
Li Yuemin was not in a hurry, he retreated calmly, leaned against the rock wall, drew his rifle, aimed and shot!
"Bang!"
The gunshot was deafening in the stone chamber, and the bullet accurately hit the open mouth of the light brown python and exited from the back of its head.
The giant python fell to the ground with a bang, and its tail was still twitching.
Seeing this, Li Yuemin wanted to fire another shot.
But unexpectedly, while he was thinking, another python took the opportunity to wrap around his legs.
In an instant, Li Yuemin could not help but feel a sharp pain, and the cowhide armor made a "creaking" sound as it could not bear the weight.
The python tightened its body, trying to crush his bones.
Li Yuemin was having difficulty breathing at this moment and wanted to pull out the dagger from his waist.
But unexpectedly, the python had already wrapped around his waist, his arms were strangled tightly, his breathing became difficult, and his vision began to blacken.
“Ouch!!”
“Ouch!!”
At this moment, two pure gray shadows pounced over, they were Aqiang and Ahong!
Although the two little wolf cubs are small in size, they are wolf cubs after all, and they are ferocious in their bones.
I saw the two of them biting the python's tail tightly, and no matter how it shook, they would not let go.
The python felt pain and loosened its grip slightly.
Li Yuemin seized the opportunity and used all his strength to stab the dagger into the soft flesh of the python's jaw, slashing it hard!
In an instant, warm snake blood gushed out and splashed all over his face.
The python twisted wildly for a while, and finally let go of him weakly.
Li Yuemin fell to the ground, without even having time to breathe heavily. He wiped the blood off his face, immediately grabbed the crossbow, and shot through the python's head with the last arrow.
“Fuck you!!”
"hiss!!"
Accompanied by a painful snake cry, the heavy python body fell heavily to the ground.
Li Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two giant pythons were finally destroyed by him.
Regardless of his tiredness, he unbuttoned his cotton jacket, wrapped Xiaoxue in his arms, and ran down the mountain.
Upon hearing that his youngest daughter Xiaoxue had been in trouble, the village secretary Wang Jiguang, who was attending a meeting at the commune, rushed back with his men.
At this moment, he was running up the mountain with several people from the armed forces, followed by Zhang Wanshan and his daughter who were equally anxious.
Halfway through the journey, he ran into Li Yuemin who was running.
Secretary Wang did not bother to ask about his injuries. He took the child from his arms, said "I will repay you later", and rushed down the mountain like a fly. He sat in the sidecar and shouted:
"Quick, go to the county hospital!"
Seeing Xiaoxue being taken away, Li Yuemin suddenly collapsed on a hard stone. He felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart and were aching.
Hu Zi limped to his side and licked the blood on his hand with his tongue.
Aqiang and Ahong also crawled on both sides of him, breathing heavily.
Chuntao, who followed later, saw Li Yuemin covered in blood. She was so scared that she screamed and staggered backwards.
Fortunately, his father Zhang Wanshan supported him from behind and prevented him from falling.
"Wow, brother Yuemin, how much blood have you lost?
Secretary Wang is such a heartless person, he only cares about saving his own children!"
Chuntao was not afraid of getting blood on her new clothes. She threw herself into Li Yuemin's arms and sobbed.
"Yes, son-in-law, why are you still sitting here? Come on, I'll harness the car and take you to the hospital right away."
Zhang Wanshan grabbed Li Yuemin's arm and pulled him up with force.
"Father-in-law, Chuntao, don't worry, this blood is from the two giant pythons I just hunted.
The python's body is still in the python cave, and the most urgent thing is to find someone to take it back home as soon as possible."
"Well, my son-in-law is right. You are exhausted from hunting pythons, so just wait here with Chuntao. I will go back to find someone."
After Zhang Wanshan finished speaking, he turned around and went down the mountain.
When Zhang Chuntao heard that Li Yuemin had killed two more giant pythons, she opened her mouth in astonishment and stammered:
"Brother Yuemin, I didn't realize you were so powerful before. I almost don't recognize you now!"
