snake coffin

Chapter 22 Disappointed
Moxiu looked at me with hope and anticipation. There seemed to be something deeper in those eyes that had been looking at me in a dream.

I looked at him deeply, and said with a wry smile: "Is it true that as long as I marry you, everything will be solved?"

"Whether it's Snake Coffin, Liu Longting, or Long Xia, I can help you solve it." Mo Xiu's voice was low, but he held my hand tightly to express his determination.

In other words, he has always had this ability?

I turned to look at him and reached out to touch his face. Who could not be moved by such a face?

And since I can remember, Mo Xiu has been in my dreams. It is impossible to say that I have no feelings.

"Are you protecting me, or a person in your memory?" I asked with a bit of a sore throat.

Mo Xiu was stunned for a moment, a hurt look flashed in his bright black eyes, and the pupils reflecting my face seemed to jump a little.

"Are you, Niu Er, and Liu Longting all waiting for the same person?" I looked at Mo Xiu with deep eyes.

He whispered: "How are you sure I am her?"

Mo Xiu was silent and said softly: "As long as you marry me, I can always protect you."

"And then?" I looked at Mo Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "It's like one day, you found out that the person you were waiting for wasn't me?"

"Mo Xiu, you know, I can kill a whole village of people to save myself. I may not be the kind person you remember." I took a deep breath.

Looking at Mo Xiu: "If you were Liu Longting, I would fool you if I could, but you are Mo Xiu, you are..."

It is Moxiu who has guarded me for 18 years and is in my dreams every night.

So I don’t want to wait until the end, when he finds out that I am not that person, the kind of loss, and the kind of indifference after thinking that I am cheating.

"Wait until you're really sure, okay?" My eyes were filled with tears.

Mo Xiu's feelings for me are attached to others, so I don't want to disappoint him.

I don’t even want to occupy something that belongs to someone else!

The worst outcome is to be buried in a snake coffin. Judging from the outcome of Long Xia and Liu Longting, it won't be too bad.

Just like Qin Mipo's disappointment with me, she told me not to save the villagers, but she didn't expect that I would attract Long Xia and harm those people.

Mo Xiu seemed a little sad: "Long Ling, I was waiting for you to be born, waiting for you to grow up, but I didn't expect... you don't know who you are."

"Then who am I?" I looked up at Mo Xiu and said coldly, "You all have secrets, why didn't you tell me directly?"

Mo Xiu looked at me with sad eyes, and slowly disappeared.

I woke up from the dream, reached out and touched my wrist, and sure enough, the black snake jade bracelet was gone.

When I got up, it was already slightly dark outside.

Qin Mipo and Niu Er sat at the door and lit the fire, and the strong smell of mugwort leaves spread.

Niu Er chuckled, pulled a roasted taro out of the brazier, and reached out to pick it up.

It was so hot that he padded his left and right hands a few times, and hurriedly pulled his sleeves to puff them up, and after blowing a few breaths, he handed it to me: "Sweet, eat!"

The taro was roasted very burnt, and after being tossed by Niu Er for a while, the charred skin on the outside was broken, and the thick taro fragrance gushed out, making people's index fingers twitch.

"Thank you!" I took the taro and sat next to Qin Mi Po: "Do you know about Niu Er?"

When I first came to ask about Mi, Qin Mipo asked Niu Er to guard the door of my house.

Qin Mipo added a handful of sifted rice chaff into the brazier. She opened her mouth to say something, then took a puff of smoke and coughed heavily.

I went into the room and gave her a glass of water, and she moistened her throat before saying, "Well, it's all the fault of the Long family. He and you were born on the same day, can't you tell?"

I really can't see this. It seems that there has been a Niu Er in the village for as long as I can remember.

"On the day you were born, my aunt suddenly called me over and said she was going to die." Qin Mipo held the water cup and picked up the firewood in the brazier with a stick.

When she looked at me, her eyes were full of hatred: "I didn't let her go, but she took the black snake pendant to your house. On the way back..."

"I was worried that something might happen to her, so I followed her secretly. I happened to see..." Qin Mipo pursed her lips.

I don't know if my face was smoked by the smoke, or it was still coughing, and it was flushed. Even the eyes that looked at me were bloodshot.

She was obviously holding her breath, so I patted her on the back.

She then coughed again, coughing so much that her heart and liver were about to be coughed up.

Everyone knew that Qin Mipo's aunt was bitten to death by a snake.

But I didn’t expect that she would follow, let alone see her with her own eyes...

I thought about the way the snake rolled in the grave pit, which must have had a great impact on Qin Mi Po.

After Qin Mipo finished coughing, she drank a few sips of water before stopping: "What are you going to do in the future?"

I peeled off the taro that was no longer hot, took a bite, it was still a little hot inside, and said with a sigh: "Let's take a step and see."

"I will take grandma back to town early tomorrow morning and go to drop out of school, Niu Er..." I bit the taro and looked at Niu Er who was sitting aside eating roasted taro.

Still turning to look at Qin Mipo: "I'll just leave it here."

Qin Mipo's eyes flickered, she landed on my wrist holding the taro, and sighed softly.

I ate the taro in silence and said no more.

Long Xia had already deliberately approached Zhang Hanzhu, Qin Mipo was bitten by a snake, and grandma was tied up twice, and she is now unconscious.

Whether it is Snake Coffin, Long Xia, or those people who are about to return from Huilong Village, they are all hostile to me.

They will use the people around me to force me into the snake coffin, so they are hard to guard against.

Since the snake coffin wants me to be buried alive, then at least I can last until the time of entering the coffin, and see who can fight the other.

The night wind made the brazier roar, Qin Mipo looked at my wrist several times, as if she wanted to ask something, but she still didn't speak.

In the evening I boiled water and wiped grandma's body and face.

I asked Qin Mipo for rice. She found a big wooden barrel, asked me to sit in it, and then slowly filled the barrel with rice.

My body was buried in rice, which made me unable to breathe, and if I sat down, even my legs would become numb.

Qin Mipo helped me bury the rice up to her neck and sighed, "I have seen someone who was poisoned by a snake before."

"My aunt was still there at that time. There was a woman from the next town who went into the mountains to collect firewood. She took shelter in a big tree when it rained. Then a snake hung down from the tree and sprayed her with snake venom. ." She helped me flatten the rice.

Shen laughed and said: "She was sprayed, and then startled by that big snake... It is said that it is as big as her thigh!"

Qin Mi Po exaggeratedly circled her hands and made a virtual comparison: "I didn't even want firewood and ran home in the rain. She had an attack that night. She kept saying that she heard the snake calling her and wanted to go to the mountain to find it. That snake.”

"Ask my aunt to ask Mi, there is no way to cure the snake's venom, so my aunt let her sleep in the rice, and use the shade to suppress the lustful aura." Qin Mipo raised her eyes and looked at me.

He smiled bitterly and said: "But after two nights of sleeping, her toxicity became more and more severe. She secretly did many shameful things every day. Then one night, she took advantage of the fact that the family was not paying attention..."

Qin Mipo paused for a moment: "She ran to the mountain! Later, a firewood collector met her. She was not wearing any clothes, laughing and joking. She smelled like snakes. Sometimes she was always wrapped around a few snakes."

"What now?" I felt chest tight under the weight of the rice.

Qin Mipo stretched out her hand and grabbed a handful of rice: "She was beaten to death by the snake woman in their village. The snake returned to the village to seek revenge, and was also captured by four wandering alchemists."

"Snake lady?" I looked at Qin Mipo deeply, and said in puzzlement, "Isn't Long Xia the kind who came out of the snake coffin, that's called a snake lady?"

"Anyone who has been entangled by a snake is called a snake woman." Qin Mipo sprinkled the rice away.

She looked at me and said, "Long Xia was pregnant and put into a snake coffin. If she comes out of the snake coffin, she will give birth to a snake monster. No one who returns to Long Village will survive."

"What is a basilisk?" The blood snake gushing out of Long Xia's body flashed before my eyes. Could it be a basilisk?
"That's not the point." Qin Mipo squatted down and looked at me at the same level: "You rejected Lord Snake?"

My hand buried under the rice couldn't help grabbing a handful of rice.

As soon as I moved my hand, I immediately felt the air on my wrist.

I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart. It had only been a few days and I was already used to wearing a black snake jade bracelet on my wrist.

"Do you dislike him as a snake, without a snake body, or something?" Seeing that I didn't deny it, Qin Mipo's tone became unpleasant.

"No." I held the rice and was about to explain.

After all, how could Mo Xiu confirm that I was the one he was waiting for?

Qin Mi Po was about to say something else when a deep laughter suddenly came from her voice: "Since she was poisoned by my snake poison, she naturally wanted to wait for me, so she rejected Mo Xiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw Liu Longting, half lying on the old beam, looking down at me: "Someone in Huilong Village is back and will come to you soon. Long Xia is with them."
