Chapter 22 Chapter 21 Encountering the White Python

Seeing me go, Section Chief Wang looked at me in horror and said, "The snake... bit us!" I thought I had bitten the old man, so I quickly asked where was the injury.Section Chief Wang shook his head and stammered, "Bite... bite... Yamamoto..." I glared at him, thinking that biting Yamamoto wasn't just biting him, so what was he afraid of there.However, at that time, it was completely ignored that there should be no snakes in this alpine and dry environment lacking vegetation. Just as he was talking, Yamamoto walked towards us with a look of surprise and fear. "Why? Luo Jun...why are there snakes at this altitude?" He was probably impatient with Zhuoma Yangjin's translation, and asked me directly in Chinese with a questioning tone.

I was taken aback, what kind of tone was he talking about, as if I let the snake out. "How do I know?" He replied coldly, and I didn't want to talk to him anymore. Yamamoto turned to ask Zhuoma Yangjin again, and she was standing next to me. Although I didn't understand the specific meaning of their question and answer, it seemed that Little Japan asked the same question.Zhuoma Yangjin was astonished after hearing Little Japan's words, and she asked me: "Master Luo? How could there be a white python? Isn't the white python only found in your Han folk stories?"

"White python?" I was also confused for a while, "You said, what Yamamoto said was that they encountered a white python and bit him just now?" Zhuoma Yangjin nodded solemnly: "Yes, a white python the size of an adult's arm suddenly came out from the side of the road and tried to bite Yamamoto-kun... Fortunately, he avoided it." "A white snake the size of an arm?" I thought I had heard it wrong, so I asked Droma Yangjin again. She nodded: "Yamamoto-kun said it's still very long, at least three or four meters..." how is this possible! ?One snake is a temperature-changing animal, and the external temperature for its growth is 20-30°C.Moreover, they like to live in an environment that is shaded, humid, inaccessible, overgrown with weeds, lush with trees, and rich in bait.And we are already on the Jambako Mountain at an altitude of at least 5,000 meters. The air is thin, the climate is cold and dry, and the vegetation is extremely sparse. It is not an environment that snakes can inhabit at all.As for what they said was the size of an adult's arm and three or four meters long, it could be considered a python.Pythons are generally mild-tempered and will not take the initiative to attack people. Unless it is seriously threatened or has no food to eat, it will take risks and attack people.These are not problems, the problem is that pythons live in tropical rainforests and subtropical humid forests, which is not at all compatible with our current environment...

These are common sense, so I didn't tell them, presumably everyone knows more or less. I shivered for no reason, and an indescribable fear arose spontaneously. Although Yamamoto was frightened, the white python did not appear again. After a short rest, he ordered us to continue walking. After walking for a while, everyone was cautious.I thought the white python would attack us again, but it never came back.My hanging heart finally let go. In order to save energy, I stopped gossiping with Zhuoma Yangjin.Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Little Japan gradually lagged behind us by a few steps. As a result, the three of us, Section Chief Wang and Director Liu, were walking in front of the team.

Along the way, Section Chief Wang and Officer Liu had surprisingly good physical strength, and I didn't feel tired at all, but I walked one step and rested three steps out of breath. Inadvertently, the two of them walked at the front of the whole team again. I plan to walk a few more steps and sit down for a rest. Little Japan, he wants to go and he can go by himself... While thinking about it, Section Chief Wang and Officer Liu, who had been talking non-stop, suddenly stopped. Half a second apart, the two yelled loudly, and then both of them retreated towards me. "What's the matter? Is there a snake?" I asked as I followed them back, and kept looking around, but there was no sign of a snake...

Section Chief Wang and Officer Liu were still terrified and pushed me back. "What's going on?" I was a little depressed, and stood still, not letting them push away, "You guys don't talk, is there a snake?!" It seemed that the two of them just came back to their senses. Section Chief Wang smiled at me a little embarrassedly. He probably felt that he was so timid and did not fit the image of a lieutenant colonel, so he tried his best to hide his fear and said, "The front... the front There's a dead man..." What is there to be afraid of the dead? I couldn't help but despise Wang and Liu in my heart. After despising them, I just left them and walked forward.

Sure enough, within two steps, I saw a dead body lying on the side of the road. When I saw the clothes of the dead body, I couldn't help being happy. Isn't that the same clothes as the little Japanese behind them?It seems that they are their accomplices.It is better to leave this mourning to the little Japanese themselves.So I stopped, turned around, tried my best to put on a sad tone and said, "Yamamoto-kun, this corpse doesn't seem to be Chinese... Come and take a look." When Yamamoto heard it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then ran up two steps. I turned my body slightly to give him the way, and before Yamamoto knelt down to caress the corpse and cry, the remaining four little Japanese rushed over screaming, leather boots Bring up the gravel all over the ground...

"Baga!!" Yamamoto's voice of shock and anger suddenly reached my ears. I was still waiting for a good show. Why didn't I see a bit of mourning, but started scolding people first?I hurriedly squeezed in and took a look. After seeing this, I couldn't help gasping, and I almost couldn't stand upright. The corpse was actually dripping with pink juice, and every time it came out, the body It just collapsed a little bit, as if... as if the whole person is really a skin bag, and the pink juice is contained in it.Look at the scolding Yamamoto again, he squatted on the ground, and some of that stuff was splashed on his clothes.

"Haka!!!!" Yamamoto stood up abruptly, gnashing his teeth and cursing at his subordinates.At this time Zhuoma Yangjin also squeezed over. "Master Luo, what's going on?" I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, I just pointed to the corpse with my finger, and then withdrew to give the position to Zhuoma Yangjin. I have never seen such a corpse, the surface is intact, but the inside is actually full of pink juice!This kind of fear can no longer be described in words... I sat powerlessly on the side of the road... "Go away, hurry..." Before I could recover, Zhuoma Yangjin rushed over and dragged me aside vigorously, "Quick, quick, stay away from that corpse!"

"What's going on?" I asked as I struggled to stand up. Zhuoma Yangjin didn't answer, but kept dragging me away.Then the group of little Japanese ran towards me like gods of plague, everyone's face was full of fear.Then, I saw the corpse, it had shriveled a lot, and the pink juice was spreading on the ground like viscous milk, and it was still spreading... Now I don’t wait for Dolma Yangjin to pull, I roll Running back desperately with crawling... After running for about tens of meters, the little Japanese stopped first, and as soon as they stopped, Yamamoto began to yell at his subordinates again.

I also stopped and gasped for breath, and asked Zhuoma Yangjin: "Yangjin, Yamamoto seems to be swearing, why?" Zhuoma Yangjin stroked his hair, panting uncontrollably, and told me the whole story intermittently.It turned out that the corpse was extremely valuable. Yamamoto planned to study it carefully, but a Japanese accidentally kicked a stone on the corpse. Unexpectedly, the corpse was extremely decayed, and when the stone touched it, it opened a hole , and then the pink juice splashed out.At that time, Yamamoto was squatting next to him, unable to dodge in time, and his clothes were splashed a lot.Yamamoto was afraid that the pink juice was poisonous, but at the same time regretted that an intact corpse with extremely high research value was destroyed, so he kept cursing. "You can tell by the clothes on the corpse that it's their companion. Why isn't Yamamoto sad?" I asked again. "Death... This involves the belief of the Yamato people. It doesn't need to go so far. In short, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goal." Zhuoma Yangjin said pointedly. But I was tired and scared, I couldn't think so much, I just sat down on the ground and wanted to lie down.As soon as I leaned back, Zhuoma Yangjin suddenly grabbed my arm desperately. "What's the matter?" I was in pain from her grasp, so I had to sit up again, I saw her biting her lips tightly, staring at the direction of the corpse with wide eyes, I followed my eyes: a white python with thick arms was slowly Swimming to the corpse, the protruding long letter protruded on the corpse twice, and then used the letter to dip the letter into the pink juice on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the juice on the ground became less and less. The straw, it's using it to suck up the juice from the floor! I was petrified and didn't dare to make a sound. No one dared to make a sound in this weird scene to provoke the anger of the white python. The juice seemed to be its delicious food. After a while, the juice on the ground was sucked up by the white python, and its body gradually swelled up. Then, as if it still hadn't finished, it stretched the letter to the gap in the corpse again. In a few tens of seconds, the corpse quickly turned into a shriveled piece of paper. As if the white python was not satisfied, it rolled up the corpse with its tail and brought it to its mouth. I thought it was going to eat the corpse, but unexpectedly, it tightly wrapped and squeezed it, and the corpse was quickly turned into a ball, never to be seen again. A little pink juice comes out.After tossing for a long time, the white python seemed to lose patience. It shook its body and let go of the corpse, and it disappeared without a trace with a whoosh. I think everyone, like me, must have been petrified at that time. After the white python disappeared for a long time, no one dared to speak loudly. After a long time, Zhuoma Yangjin hugged my arm and started to cry. Only then did I save myself. After Zhuoma Yangjin finished crying, the little Japanese Yamamoto came to look for her.Judging by the look on his face, he probably wasn't overly frightened, but the strange thing is that he seemed to be vaguely excited, I'm not sure. Yamamoto and Zhuoma Yangjin muttered for a while, and then went back to the other four Japanese.I asked Zhuoma Yangjin what Little Japan meant.She seemed to be trying her best to cover up something, as if the previous shock did not exist at all, and said very calmly: "Yamamoto-kun said that he can be sure that the deserters are nearby."
