The degenerated long necked men

find There is a small village in a valley, surrounded by rocky mountains. People there live in a self-sufficient life. Sometimes, because they need to buy oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar or clothes, they will cut some firewood and carry the firewood to the outside market and sell them for money in exchange for what they need. They will carry the required goods and then go back to the village. This kind of life is boring and tasteless. Even if you work hard, the money you can earn is limited. Tighten the expense and eat less is what happens when there is no firewood. One day, a villager was at the market and found that the necklace made of coloured stones sold by the merchant at a high price was very similar to the color that appeared on the top of a mountain he had climbed. So, he dug some stones from the top of the mountain and took them to the market to sell. A stone can actually be sold at a surprisingly high amount of money. The amount of money he had earned from the stone is even higher than the accumulated amount of money he possessed since he started to work. So, he told the whole village about all this. The village began to motivate the people so they could work on the mountain and began to dig up the jewels hidden in the mountain. The people in the village became rich. People could not only consume living necessities every day, but also can buy some ornaments, objects or clothes they like. degeneration They no longer cut firewood, no longer create things they need. They only exchange all the things they want with stones from the mountain. Gradually, people forget their old way of life. They no longer know how to weave clothes, grow vegetables, cut firewood. They only dig mines without hesitation. The original flat ground of the mine had sunken into a triangle, and then the triangle became a trapezoid, and then U-shape. The location of mine became more and more dangerous, more and more steep, and the time spent mining started to increase. It became harder to climb down from the top of the mountain, and then climb up while carrying the tools. Finally one day, people happily climb from the top of the mountain carrying the basket to the mining area, and then they can‘t climb up again. People were trapped in the mountain pit. As it is a mine, here is no water, not to mention any plants. Hunger made them weary. They rested on the ground, panting furiously. Most of them starved to death a few days later. A few of them are living tenaciously because their bodies have changed. Their necks are getting longer and longer. They can reach the grass roots from the top of the mountain. They are like a narrow hemp rope. Other parts of their bodies have degenerated, but they don&‘t care, Desperately gnawing the grass roots that can continue their lives, but the grass roots were soon ate up. They stretched their necks hard to make their necks longer, to reach the tall trees, and greedily absorbed almost all the nutrition of the trees from bottom to the top. The new name of the long necked man Gradually, their length can no longer make them have any image or characteristics. They became something like vines and lost all the organs in their bodies. They are intertwined on the plants. Yes, they have no roots or stems. They are just parasites that absorbs plants and feeds themselves. They only steal from others, and they don’t create anything. Later, they were found by a botanist, he sent these strange things to the place where he bought pesticides to see what medicine could eliminate them. People think it’s strange and funny when they see them. These long things, like ropes, absorb the nutrition of plants and desperately make their bodies grow longer. People call these guys rabbit silk, because no one can explain how its long silk grows, just like the silk that silkworms spit out to make pupae, or an old man’s beard.
