Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 26 The Bai Family Falls
I was shocked beyond words by what I saw, and I didn't know whether those people lying on the ground were dead or alive.

But how could the skin of a living person be that gray-blue color?If the things swimming in their bodies were really snakes, how did these little snakes get in?
The light of the flashlight swept across the faces of those poor people one by one. They avoided the light in panic, and huddled together in a corner of the room, making restless "hissing" sounds like snakes spitting out a message.

Most of these people are familiar faces, and some even a whole family is locked here together.

They should have lived an ordinary and stable life, but now because of this catastrophe, they were forced to terminate their normal lives.

And I racked my brains and couldn't think of a way to solve this situation. I could only watch them suffer such hardships in this dark room.

Suddenly, the light of the flashlight was blocked, and one hand rested on the half-open movable plank, and a weak voice came from the gap.

"Help...let me out...I don't want to die yet..."

I froze for a moment, and realized that this hand was alive, and there were living people inside!There was a burst of excitement in my heart, and I suddenly pulled the wooden board away!

"You, don't be afraid! I will find a way..."

As the hand that opened the wooden board froze in place, the incoherent words stuck in my throat for an instant, and the pupils of my eyes that were staring at the window trembled, and the dark pupils began to shrink a little bit.

The face in the activity window was pale paper, with two blobs of gaudy red on her cheeks, "she" grinned her red-painted mouth, and said a man's voice: "You want to save them? But how are you going to save it?"

It's her, no, maybe it's him... It's the old paper figurine who tricked me into going to the back mountain that day!

I was so frightened that my whole body went cold, my blood started to flow back, I didn't care about other things, I broke the wooden board and closed the window with a "bang", and snapped the small lock back with trembling hands.

"Haha, anyway, you are protected by Lord Snake, what are you afraid of?" The thing laughed loudly, his voice through the wooden boards was still cold, "Speaking of which, if King Snake didn't destroy those two snake pigs for you, these people At least you don’t have to live to suffer through it.”

My hands trembled so badly that the lock could not pass through the small hole for a long time. Hearing this, my hand stopped, and I raised my head in disbelief: "Those little snakes are really alive? You actually treat living people as snakes?!"

"How can a living person be called a snake pig? It should be called a snake chrysalis." The thing inside sneered, with a very indifferent tone, "Actually, you don't have to worry, as long as the time is right, the snake species inside will break out of the shell and come out again. Continue to live in their appearance and identity. At that time, your village will still be prosperous, and even survive for a hundred generations in the future. Isn’t that great? Hahaha..."

It turns out that snake chrysalis is such a thing?The purpose of those snakes is to turn everyone in the village into snake chrysalis, so that they can truly occupy the village in various senses?
Those things on Kuaihou Mountain dare to think so much, it's heartless!
I was so angry that I punched the door hard, and said angrily: "Why did you do this? How did this village offend you? Not only did you take so much trouble to retaliate, but you even wanted to kill them all!"

"What we want to do is out of your control." The old lady with paper figurines suddenly leaned close to the board, whispering in my ear like a ghost, "Listen to my advice, go back quickly, don't let your backyard catch fire, you still have time to care about other people."

"What do you mean by that?" My heart sank, and I clenched my fists tightly, but I didn't wait for the response from the people in the door.

A bad premonition suddenly floated up from the bottom of my heart. I didn't have time to entangle with this thing any more. I clicked the lock and fastened it. I turned around and ran towards the house.

On the way, my heart beat faster and faster, and my thoughts were in a mess. I didn't dare to think if something happened at home, so I could only pray secretly that everyone would be safe and sound.

A few minutes later, I rushed to the door of my house out of breath, and just stopped when all my hopes were shattered by horrific shouts from the courtyard!

Before I had time to think about it, I pushed the door open, and all my anxiety turned into surprise at this moment, and it exploded in my mind with a "bang"!

Countless snakes, large and small, surged in front of him, entangled the woman in the yard into a cocoon, and spit out the scarlet letter from the wide-open mouth of the snake, lightly touching the woman's blood-stained skin from the bite.

The poor woman was disheveled, lying on the ground and rolling, her hands were frantically pulling the snakes on her body, and she kept screaming fiercely!
There was a muffled cry in the glass window facing the yard in the living room. I looked up in a daze, and saw Mengyue crying hysterically on the window. My father pulled her to prevent her from beating the window, and tears were streaming down her face. But he could only watch the women in the yard suffer.

Looking at their appearance, my heart trembled, and I immediately recognized that this woman was my stepmother!
The only remaining rationality suddenly collapsed at this moment, and an impulse rushed straight to his forehead.

I strode over the overturned vegetables, pulled off the realgar powder hanging from my waist, untied the bag and put it on the snakes, then picked up the bamboo broom leaning against the wall, and slapped it vigorously Those snakes yelled uncontrollably: "Go away! You bastards, get away from her!"

The broom "shua shua" was drawn on the entangled snakes, and the smell of realgar was so strong that it choked the nose.But these snakes were indifferent, and even tended to become tighter and tighter.

I saw that this method would not work, and was afraid of harming my stepmother, so I panted and threw away the broom in my hand.

"Girl, step back and stay away from those snakes."

I was stuck in the same place, when I suddenly heard an old voice behind me. When I looked back, I saw the village head leading someone into my yard.

The village chief, who is over ninety years old, is still strong and vigorous. He stroked his gray goatee and held a long and slender white stick in his hand. He walked straight past me and walked towards the stepmother who was entangled in snakes. before.

I was still a little dazed, I didn't know what he was going to do, and I was about to remind him that the snakes were dangerous, but I saw him waving the white curved roller, and then the snakes seemed to be threatened, and each of them shrank their heads back, one after another. Step back three steps away!

What is this?Can make those snakes afraid?
I stared at the curved roller in the village chief's hand, and before I had time to examine it carefully, suddenly, the stepmother lying on the ground began to twitch all over, making a strange "uh uh" sound from her throat.

My complexion changed, and I walked towards her with strides, but as soon as I got closer, I saw that her skin turned a little bit gray-blue, and then I saw countless lavender lines, starting from around the wounds bitten by snakes and spreading all over her body !

The leg that had just been raised froze immediately, and I opened my eyes wide in astonishment. The appearance of the stepmother overlapped with the scene in the Village Snake Yard, and the interlaced changes made a mess in my mind.

My dad and Mengyue opened the door and ran out of the house. They were stopped by the people brought by the village chief before they got close.

The village head raised his hand and waved it down. Several other people quickly surrounded the stepmother, then tied her hands and feet with hemp rope, quickly shook off a large sack and covered her head, and skillfully lifted her Stuff it in.

"Where is this going to get her?" My dad stared at the stepmother who was packed into the sack, with eagerness in his red and swollen eyes.

"Liu Fangyun has a snake disease, so she has to be taken to the end of the village for intensive treatment." The old village chief put the shiny white roller on the ground, and calmly watched those people seal the sack.

I just ran back from the snake yard at the end of the village, so I naturally know what will happen to the people who are sent there, but the stepmother has already begun to show the characteristics of a snake pupa, does it mean that she will walk with those people? The same dead end?
"Don't touch her! She's not sick, let go of my mother quickly!" Mengyue sat on the ground and cried heart-piercingly, with both hands struggling to reach the sack not far away.

I frowned, staring blankly at the person who was still struggling in the sack, feeling complicated and not knowing what to do.

My father held Mengyue's arm to prevent her from getting out, and asked the village chief with a painful face: "Is there no other way than locking her up?"

The village chief stroked his gray beard and looked at him with cloudy eyes: "This disease will make people go crazy within three days. If you stay at home forcibly, you will only harm others and yourself."

"You're talking nonsense! My mother won't be crazy! I won't allow you to take my mother away!" Mengyue struggled hard, her emotions completely out of control, she just punched and kicked my father.

My father endured Mengyue's kicking and beating, afraid that she would be impulsive, so he held her tightly and would not let go.

Seeing this, the village chief signaled those people to work together to lift the sack. Before leaving, he looked at Mengyue, who was making a fuss, shook his head and said to my dad: "This time is different from the past. It seems that even if it is your Bai family, You can’t do it alone either.”

I came back to my senses in a daze, and realized that the old village chief obviously had something to say. When I wanted to catch up with him and ask him, he had already gone away with those people carrying his stepmother.
