snake coffin

Chapter 44
I asked Qin Mi Po about where she should be buried after she married a daughter-in-law outside Huilong Village.

Looking back now, when grandma talked about the vegetable burial plot, in addition to feeling chilled, she also seemed to have a sense of fear.

The older generation is still not very accepting of cremation, but my grandma would rather have her bones cremated than be buried in a vegetable field?

There is no mention of being buried with my grandfather at all!

Looking back now, it seems even weirder.

Qin Mipo just sneered: "Now you know why everyone in Huilong Village deserves to die? There are too many crimes!"

When she said this, there was a wave of hatred in her whole body.

"How was it buried?" I turned to look at Qin Mipo. There were too many secrets in Huilong Village.

Perhaps in order to hide the secret of the snake coffin, one secret after another was revealed.

Qin Mipo just sneered: "I don't know either! Originally, I specially entrusted a snake digger to dig the graves of those who married into Huilong Village in winter. The corpses were not in the coffins, and all the burials were empty coffins."

In winter, snakes hibernate, are easy to find, and do not bite, so many experienced people dig snakes in winter.

Some snake diggers don't follow the rules and don't go into the mountains, so they just look for old graves to dig.

My dad used to collect snakes, and he also received snakes from coffins. The snake digger was beaten to death, and his ancestral grave was dug up for a yellow python weighing more than two pounds.

I was thinking about whether there was any connection between the disappearance of Gu Xiaolan's body and going back to Longcun to beg for a child.

I heard a middle-aged man outside calling Qin Mi Po, and Wei Po was also there.

Qin Mi Po took a look at me and walked out with a clear face.

Mrs. Wei also realized that she was afraid now, so she cried outside. She was just thinking about how difficult it was for her to finally get a wife, but in the end she couldn't have children.

Her son is now 40 years old, and if he doesn't find a wife, he will die. In recent years, he has even done test-tube babies, and the family's money has been spent.

In fact, it is for money!
Qin Mipo seemed to agree, and when the village head left, she pointed at the Chen family and his son, as if to say something.

That night Qin Mipo and I moved the Chen family and his son in and packed up a house to accommodate them.

Qin Mipo and I are both women, and it's not easy to help them wipe their bodies or something. It seems that we have to ask a man to help us take care of them.

Qin Mipo was not in good health, she coughed so badly at night that she seemed to be dying. After eating, she went to bed as soon as it got dark.

Maybe there have been too many things recently, and it suddenly became quiet. Sitting under the dim light, I suddenly felt a little flustered.

I took out the roster of Huilong Village from my backpack, and I read it one by one.

All the people on it have been changed to their names, except for my home page, so it’s not just their names?
I took out my notebook and copied down a few addresses in the same town, preparing to ask them from house to house.

The snake coffin just stopped looking for me for the time being, but I have to find a way to deal with the double snakes in my body, and I can't really be controlled by the snake coffin for the rest of my life.

Otherwise, like Gu Xiaolan, you will want to drag out the body and sell it for money until you die, right?
Landing it in the snake coffin would probably be more troublesome than selling it for a yin marriage.

As I was copying, I felt a dark shadow flashing around me.

Mo Xiu stood next to me, looking at the roster, pulling it over and flipping through page after page.

The look on his face became colder and colder, and even the fingers holding the paper gradually turned white.

I closed the notebook. The front contained corrected wrong questions and some things Zhang Hanzhu wrote for me, but the back suddenly turned into this kind of eight-character comment. The style of painting changed so quickly that I was a little confused.

"You still want to check the snake coffin?" Mo Xiu closed the roster and handed it to me, and said in a deep voice, "Long Ling, like the people in Huilong Village, your thinking is too simple, and you always think you can control it. You can break free by yourself. Don’t look into the matter of the snake coffin, just live well.”

"Let's find something to do. I can't just eat and wait to die, right? And I can't even eat and I still owe a lot of money to compensate for my life." I closed the notebook.

Looking at Mo Xiu: "Shall we go to the cave now?"

Mo Xiu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and blinked at me: "You are different."

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something was different.

He smiled bitterly: "After experiencing some things, do you always grow up?"

Stand up and put your arms around Moxiu's neck: "Why don't you just stay here, it's the same anyway, so as not to run around?"

Moxiu glanced at the small bed, his eyes flashed, he hugged me and walked out.

The night breeze was cool, and I lay in Moxiu's arms, feeling his slight heartbeat.

When we arrived outside the cave, the vegetation there was still upside down and no one had moved.

Mo Xiu hugged me all the way and walked in. I looked at the fireflies on the cave wall, crawling ahead to lead the way.

He said softly: "Is this firefly easy to raise?"

Mo Xiu looked down at me: "You want to ask, when Huilong Village fell, was it me who released the male fireflies that flew out?"

I couldn't help grasping Mo Xiu's black robe, and explained in a low voice: "I know it's not you."

If it was Mo Xiu, he would at least have to wait for me to escape.

I had never heard of the name Edible Firefly before, and I didn’t expect it to be so powerful.

This thing is rare to begin with, but it is kept as a light in Moxiu Cave, and there is also one in the snake coffin...

Mo Xiu held my arm tightly and strode so windily that I could even hear the sound of fireflies crawling across the cave wall.

When we got to the pond, Mo Xiu didn't just throw me in like before, but put me down next to him.

Shen looked at me: "Long Ling, are you doubting me?"

When Moxiu said this, he tightly grabbed my arm with his palm.

The hurt in the eyes seemed to sink to the point of gushing out.

I suddenly felt a tingling in my heart.

Mo Xiu smiled bitterly: "Yes, you still don't believe me."

I was stunned for a moment, feeling as if my body had been immersed in a cold pool of water.

Mo Xiu seemed to have thought of something, his face was full of pain, and he just murmured slightly: "You really should hate me, you really shouldn't believe me..."

This is the first time I have seen Mo Xiu so distraught, it seems that the whole person is not well.

I don’t know why, but my heart aches when I look at it, but I don’t know what to do.

He stretched out his arms and hugged Mo Xiu's neck fiercely, and kissed him heavily: "Mo Xiu, should I believe you?"

"Dragon Spirit!" Mo Xiu whispered: "Don't hate me."

I don't know whether he was talking about me or that person, but Mo Xiu was very excited.

That night, he looked at me like this, caressed my face, and kept looking at me seriously.

The fireflies on the wall of the cave seemed to feel the mania in Mo Xiu's heart, they kept crawling all over the cave, and even flew up in the cave from time to time.

Groups of firefly eating insects, with white light, up and down, flashing past from time to time, as if Moxiu and I were lying in the fluorescent light all over the sky.

Drowsily, I seemed to hear him still calling my name: "Long Ling, Long Ling..."

Different from the past affectionate feelings, it seems to be sandwiched with deep regret.

I ended up just feeling like I passed out.

In the dream, it seemed to be in a mass of darkness, and the whole body was warm.

Something screamed in my ear: "It's not me!"

The voice sounded like Mo Xiu or Liu Longting. The voice was hoarse and hoarse, and it sounded like it was heartbreaking and exploding.

Even in my dream, my heart still hurts, as if that sentence tore me apart.

When I woke up, I saw that I had returned to Qin Mi's mother-in-law's house.

Moxiu sat on the head of the bed in a black robe, flipping through the roster of Huilong Village page by page.

Seeing that I was awake, he closed the roster and handed me a stack of books: "Qin Mi Po gave you the book of Asking Mi. Since you are looking for something to do, you should learn this first."

His face was calm and quiet, as if the sadness and frustration of last night had completely disappeared.

I wanted to ask something else, but Mo Xiu put the roster into his sleeve: "I'll take it back and have a look. The snake will protect you."

Does Moxiu not want me to find out the secret of Longcun, or is he trying to cover up the fact that the woman in the attic helped Huilongcun give birth?

Seeing him about to leave, I quickly asked: "Is Liu Longting still alive?"

Liu Longting also came out of the snake coffin, so he can always be as immortal as Long Xia, right?

Moxiu paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at me, his eyes flickered, as if he was suppressing something.

After a while, he slowly said: "He is taking care of Fu Qian."

I was stunned for a moment, and after a while, I realized that "Fuqian" was the name of the woman in the attic.

She actually has a name, and Mo Xiu and Liu Longting can be together and take care of her?
