Chapter 9

The courtyard was in a mess, and the ground was full of black and smelly blood.

The stool used to tie the dog's leash was overturned and dragged several meters away along the bloodstains. At this moment, the female black dog that was still barking at noon was lying in a pool of blood, her eyes were open, and she was completely dead. up.

Extending along the blood path where the black dog had struggled, there was no trace of Aunt Liu's body at all, except for a few live snakes of different colors writhing in the sticky blood on the ground.

God... I'm really afraid of something.

Who would have thought that in broad daylight, Aunt Liu's body would just disappear out of thin air?
A numbing chill crept up my back, and I was flustered for a moment, so I turned around and asked the daughter of the Liu family: "Where is Aunt Liu? Didn't my mother tell you to stare at the dead body in the yard? What are you doing? Two big living people are still staring Can't live with a dead man?"

Aunt Liu's daughter couldn't hold back, and started crying again when I asked her, crying and saying in a confused way: "I, I, I don't know... My husband and I have never gone out at home, and my mother-in-law said that as long as Hearing that dog barking, I went to the yard to have a look... But, but, but the dog didn't bark! Not even a single bark! How did I know this would happen, I... I don't know..."

When the son-in-law of the Liu family heard his wife crying, he ran over and put her in his arms, patted her on the back to comfort her, and said to me: "Don't blame her, that dog doesn't know what's going on. It didn't bark all afternoon, and when I was cooking in the evening, I took a look at it, and who knew that beast was already dead."

"What can you do about it? We don't want things to turn out like this. If you want to blame, blame me. Don't embarrass my wife."

I didn't mean what he said. Seeing that the couple's spirits were very poor, I took a deep breath, raised my hand and randomly grabbed my hair, and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, there was an eager dog barking from the gate of Liu's house. I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head and hurried over there.

Granny Mei and her party came back. It was still the son of the Wang family leading the black dog, and the youngest son of the Liu family was supporting her. They were followed by a few enthusiastic villagers who helped search for the body.

"Mother-in-law!" I strode forward to meet her, and the anxiety in my heart raised my brows, "You came back just in time, come and take a look with me, something big happened in the backyard."

Granny Mei has been sullen since she entered the door, her cloudy eyes don't know where to look, and she always feels a little out of focus.

"Mother-in-law?" Seeing that there was no response to calling her, I took the place of the youngest son of the Liu family to support her, and leaned over to her and called her again.

Granny Mei seemed to wake up from a dream, her old face slowly turned to me, and her tiredness could not be concealed in her voice: "Okay, I have guessed it. This time the matter is too difficult, it seems that even I may not be able to solve it ah……"

When the others heard this, they all felt uncomfortable.

I don't know what they encountered when they went out this trip. Why did even the mother-in-law suddenly lose confidence when they came back?

But the mother-in-law didn't give up. She looked at the messy Liu family, her residual admiration slanted towards her, blurring her expression: "Those two things will definitely come back tonight. People from Liu Wang's family , but be careful."

Granny Mei had the remaining black dog tied up in the back door to watch the night, and she pasted yellow talismans on the doors and windows of Liu's house, and set up a formation.Then I took two big bowls of black dog blood from the dead black dog, put one bowl into a plastic bottle and gave it to me, and the other bowl mixed with cinnabar and took it to the Wang family, just in case.

Seeing that the sky had already darkened, I sent Granny Mei home to rest first.

Granny Mei was rarely so silent on the road, and I was always worried that something might happen to her, so I took advantage of the long night road and asked her softly, "Grandma, did you see anything when you went to search for corpses in the back mountain today?"

When the black dog chases the mountain, it will disturb the things on the back mountain. If it is not controlled well, it may cause unexpected problems.

Granny Mei's hands froze slightly, and she slowly shook her head: "No, there is nothing. I searched everywhere in the back mountain, and almost killed the black dog from exhaustion, but unfortunately I still found nothing."

This is strange, those two corpses have disappeared, where else can they hide besides the back mountain?

I was just thinking about losing my mind when Grandma Mei stopped suddenly, her withered palm tightly grasped my hand, her one eye became deeper and deeper on the silent village road: "Tingyue, grandma will ask you again, what have you done these days?" Haven't encountered anything, or met someone?"

"Mother-in-law, I..." I felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, and wanted to tell the truth, but it was like a stone was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't make a sound.

"Everything is fate, but fate is inevitable..." Granny Mei seemed to understand everything, she sighed and shook her head slowly, rubbing my left wrist with her rough fingertips, and said earnestly: "Tingyue, you must You must remember what your mother-in-law told you back then, no matter who asks, you must not admit that you have a mark on your wrist, otherwise you will cause even greater disasters."

"You must remember."

There should have been two red dots on the wrist where she covered it with her hand.If my mother-in-law didn't mention it suddenly, I would have almost forgotten them.

Now that the old story is brought up again, it is also related to the two red marks on my wrist. I can't help but think of the snake fight in the village when I was a child. Could it be that those who died were not pure accidents?

I held my mother-in-law's hand instead, and my eyes were full of anxiety: "Mother-in-law, please tell me why the old Wangtou and the others died, is it really related to me? And those who encountered snakes when I was young, are they Isn't it all because of this curse on me?"

Back then, everyone said that the red dot on my wrist was a curse, that in the future ten thousand snakes would be summoned and bring misfortune to the village.

The appearance of the snake beads almost fulfilled half of the words. In addition, I accidentally heard those strange words from the old man's mouth today, which made my thoughts feel numb and filled with fear.

"Listen to me, child." Granny Mei held my hand tightly, her eyes became clear: "After I hid the mark for you, people died one after another in the village. It did seem to have angered the snake that was eyeing you, but Now it seems that these things are definitely not that simple.”

"Grandma, what do you mean...?"

I looked at Granny Mei puzzled, but she suddenly staggered a step closer to me, staring at me with her blind eyes under the dim light, her voice was old and hoarse: "The back mountain is not peaceful, what those snakes want It's not just you. The village... I'm afraid it won't be able to escape."

With a "boom", my mind exploded like a thunderbolt.

Although Granny Mei's words were not so clear, but combined with the things she asked me just now, I have more or less understood that this must have something to do with Liu Wangzhi's appearance.

But today Liu Wangzhi clearly said that these things were not done by him.

So should I take his word for it?On the back hill of the village, what kind of disturbance is lurking...?
The village was extremely silent tonight, not even a single unnecessary dog ​​barking.

I put the bottle of black dog blood pressure under the pillow, looked sideways at the swaying tree branch silhouettes on the window, and lost myself in the dark and silent room.

A clear scent of grass and trees permeated the night, the mattress suddenly sank, and then a pair of thin and powerful arms wrapped around my waist, hugging me to the back.

A strong, wide chest with a cool temperature suddenly stuck to my back, probably because of the sequelae of being frightened by Li Heng.

Unexpectedly, the hands and feet were held down by someone, and then the sound of the silk fabric being flipped sounded, and a slender and strong body covered it in an instant.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." The man's voice sounded like wine, in the darkness he held me in his arms, stretched his slender fingers into the gaps in the hair to support the back of my head, bowed his head and kissed me Nose tip, "Scared you?"

... This snake doesn't need to sleep at night, why is it coming again.

Even though I have been intimate with him several times, I am still not used to his sudden approach.
I put my hands on his strong chest, pushed him away a little, and looked up into his burning eyes: "Is there something wrong...? If it's okay, can you stop pestering me like this...?"

Liu Wangzhi raised his eyebrows, grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips, bit my fingertip lightly, "What, you're in a bad mood?"

So many things happened in the village, and they were all caused by these snakes. How could this make me feel better?
I didn't have the heart to hide my emotions at all, so I withdrew my hand abruptly like an electric shock, then quietly took a breath from the bottom of my lungs, looked straight into his shimmering eyes, and said word by word: "Since you appeared, Mr. Wang Tou and Aunt Liu died one after the other, apart from the fact that they both went to the back mountain a few days before their death, the only thing they have in common is that they both felt sorry for me more or less."

"These things are obviously not a coincidence, so I still want to ask again..." I pursed my lips and stared at him boldly, "Liu Wangzhi, the snake group in the back mountain to harm people... Is it you?"
