Apart from the fish I picked up for free today, I didn't gain much. As for the jade pendants and other items, they were just for fun and have no practical significance.
I feel a little scared when I think that I might return here disappointed many times in the future. If this continues, how can I survive this winter?
As I was walking and thinking about these things, I was in a trance. I walked out of the woods and rushed to the open space with weeds outside the wall of the Snake Cave. Suddenly I woke up from my daze and saw that the front of my vision seemed to have darkened a lot. I looked up and saw that it was the tall and ferocious Bigfoot. I didn't know when I was standing in front of it, and was covered by its huge shadow.
".....Brother, you belong to the devil!" I quickly raised my bayonet and stepped back shouting in fear.
It approached me, one step of which was equivalent to several steps of mine. Its brown and black hair swayed in the wind, and it gave off a sour and rotten smell like the smell of eating raw meat and drinking blood, which was disgusting.
It was so close to me that I didn't know how to attack or how to defend myself. Last time, it was because it was holding Yunwen in its hand, so I was able to deal with one hand alone and escape. But this time is different. This time it has no flaws. If it gets furious and uses both hands, it will be enough to break my neck several times.
It came a few steps closer, and I hurriedly took several steps back. However, because I was too anxious, I didn't notice the stumbling block behind me. My heel hit it, and I fell on my back. Fortunately, there was a layer of snow, which eased my strength and did not hurt so much.
But now there are no conditions that allow me to be optimistic. This fellow, who is extremely strong and can knock down weeping willows like the Water Margin hero Lu Zhijie, has no intention of letting me go. My life may end here. After all, I have no other choice now. If it moves, it will pounce on me, smash me, bite me, etc., and I will not be able to avoid it at all.
The power level of both sides was too different, and I had already fallen down with no chance to fight back, so I was doomed to die.
It's also my fault for being careless. When I was moving back just now, I clearly heard the sound of the mountain shaking, but I didn't realize that it was this huge monster coming down the mountain. With this mistake, I would have lost everything!
I held the bayonet in my hand the whole time, thinking that even if I died, I had to die in battle, and I couldn't die in a cowardly way...
Just then, there was a snap!
Unexpectedly, the other party threw a fish to me, which hit me right in the face. It was a pretty big sea fish, and my nose was full of the fishy smell of sea water.
"What do you mean? Are you going to stink me to death?" I didn't understand what he meant and pushed the sea fish away.
But I saw that Bigfoot suddenly sat down on the ground, tapping his arms, making strange humming sounds from his mouth, and his eyes just looked at me. When he saw that I didn't move, he repeated it again.
What do you mean? Are you trying to play a trick on me before I die?
I sat up slightly, but saw that the bones in its arms had collapsed and were severely dislocated. In addition, due to the passage of time, it could not heal itself and became swollen. It was also difficult for it to move and its movements were stiff. It was obvious that it was in great pain.
Although this creature is just a primate species and is somewhat closely related to humans, it is still an animal after all. I can only try to use the simplest communication methods to see if I can communicate with it.
I pointed at its left arm and looked at it. It started shouting "Ouch, Ouch!" and pounded the ground with its right hand. Judging from its emotions, it seemed to agree.
I pointed at myself again, and then at the other's left arm. After repeating this two or three times, it seemed to understand, and it stretched out its left arm, and a wheezing sound came from its thick lips.
"Buddy, this matter cannot be explained simply, but I can tell you in advance that it will be a bit painful to put it back in place. Just bear with it and don't get angry. Otherwise, you will kill me by smashing me, which will be really frustrating." I said.
Of course he had no idea what I was saying and just stared at me blankly.
I tried to get up and touch its arm. It was really strong. One arm was thicker than my thigh and its muscles were so strong that it was like an enlarged version of Johnson.
I have a dislocated elbow, caused by the last time I dealt with it, and it's been a while.
I held its palm with one hand and used the other hand to straighten its elbow joint and stretched it slightly. Its face changed drastically and it cried out in pain. Then I immediately performed an outward rotation on the longitudinal axis. I could hear a clicking sound. I heard a correct sound in the elbow joint and then let go. It was considered a simple repositioning technique.
But after all, it has been dislocated for such a long time, and it cannot recover all at once. There may be some soft tissue adhesion here, so it will take some time to recover completely.
After I was done, I took two steps back and raised my hands to show that I had no hostility.
It tried to move its elbows, then stood up, its tall body instantly blocking the sky from my sight.
I'm very nervous. I hope you don't kill me. Otherwise, I'm done for. I should have kept some tricks up my sleeve...
It looked at me, and with a whoosh, it turned around and left. It left here and climbed up the mountain wall with a swift movement. It did two or three things at a time, and in a few steps it climbed to the top of the mountain with its bare hands and disappeared without a trace.
I sighed and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath and releasing the fear that had been pent up for so long.
I picked up the sea fish on the ground and put it into my backpack. I felt better. After all, I picked up two fish. If I go back and report them, the girls will praise me. Thinking of this, I still chuckled.
So, I took today's catch and prepared to go back to the old house of Huoquan. I passed through the snake cave and returned to the dangerous road at the other end. When I walked to the place where the rope was tied, I deliberately looked at the place where the fish had fallen before. Now I can completely understand what happened.
It turned out that it was not a coincidence before, but was deliberately thrown to me by the Bigfoot above, just to make me stay here for a moment. It came down to find me, but unfortunately it succeeded in finding me the second time. The last time I was hiding in a snake cave, I was bitten all over by a pack of wolves. It clearly saw me at the other end of the snake cave, but did not kill me. The same is true.
It had been looking for an opportunity for me to help rehabilitate its hand bones, so it behaved in such an abnormal way. It did not seek revenge, but waited for the right opportunity to block me and let me help it.
But no matter what, it still spared my life, and I was lucky enough to escape death. I have to go back quickly, in case it changes its mind.
Soon I got off the dangerous road and headed back. On the way, I visited the rotten wood area where the wood ears grew. The wood ears were almost mature again. In another week, they could basically be harvested again.
When we returned to the adobe house, it was almost dusk. Yunwen heard the noise first and came out to greet me, and Song Yingchun also followed her out, which was rare for her.
"How was your fun?" Song Yingchun asked.
"I didn't play. Besides, it's not fun outside in the snow and ice." I retorted.
"Come in and have a rest. We have washed the bronzes today and warmed up some tea. Come in and have some." Yunwen helped me take my backpack and supported me inside.
Song Yingchun frowned and muttered something in the back, but I could hear it immediately: "Tsk, vixen, you have one at home and you want to occupy another one outside, aren't you annoying?"
I was too lazy to pay attention to her and couldn't say anything nice. Yunwen's situation was completely different from what she thought.
I entered the house, but saw that the bronze artifacts that were in the treasure chest were all placed on the kang. The four-legged bird-shaped hu was filled with warm tea with a fragrant smell. Other bronze cups such as jue and jiao were also placed aside. I had an illusion that I had traveled back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Speaking of this, I remembered what I found in the bushes today. I immediately opened my backpack and took out two sea fish. Yunwen hurried to find a clay basin to catch them. I wanted to take the set of jade pendant chains, but as soon as I took them out, I found something strange about the jade pendants...
