snake coffin

Chapter 47
The sadness in Mo Xiu's eyes was deep, as if he had made up his mind.

His forehead was against mine, and his eyes were so deep that he seemed to burn himself into my eyes.

In the distance, the breeze blew across the rice fields, making a "beep" sound, with a few frogs croaking.

"Dragon Spirit!" Qin Mi Po was calling me.

Moxiu's eyes flashed, he carried me down, and helped me tie my hair: "The snake's venom will be cured in a few days, you can stay here at ease, and I will find a way to send you away."

After he finished speaking, he glanced inside the room and disappeared.

Qin Mi Po seemed to be looking for me and called out a few words urgently.

I hurried in, and saw that the incense table had been set up, Mrs. Wei pulled Gu Xiaolan to kneel on the futon, and Mrs. Qin Misheng was inserting incense into Mi Sheng.

Wei Changshun seemed to be waiting outside and didn't come in.

Seeing me coming back, Qin Mi Po said hurriedly: "Pour them some drinks."

Pour water to toast, then burn a round of paper, report the birth date, and then you can ask for rice.

Gu Xiaolan was kneeling there, her head lowered, her chin touching her chest, her forehead hanging, but her eyes squinting, looking at me from the broken hair of her bangs.

When I was carrying the tray to bring her drinks, she raised her eyes to look at me when she reached out to hold the cup.

It's just that when he looked up, his eyes were rolled up too high, and the whites of his eyes were exposed again.

I saw bloodshot eyes burst out in the whites of the eyes. The bloodshot eyes seemed to be still alive and squirmed. I was so scared that I tightened the tray tightly.

After toasting the drinks, I handed the paper to their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then stepped aside.

Asking about rice involves asking for the upper body, searching for objects, or asking about things.

Gu Xiaolan likes to ask whether things are good or bad, and it depends on the condition of the eggs buried in Mili.

After burning a round of paper, I stretched out my hand to take out the stick of incense inserted in the rice liter. As soon as I pulled it out, I felt the head of the incense flash, and the hot incense ash fell on my hand, scalding my fingers.

When I looked again, the three incense sticks had been extinguished.

If you ask rice to extinguish the fragrance, it is a bad luck.

I turned my head to look at Qin Mipo, she shook her head slightly at me, signaling me to keep quiet, but she glanced at Gu Xiaolan from the corner of her eyes.

Since the incense was gone, there was no need to insert the incense burner anymore. I threw the incense directly into the brazier, held Mi Sheng in my arms and poured the rice gently into the tray.

It was probably Gu Xiaolan who asked about the rice this time, so it was not as moldy and black as the last time Mrs. Wei asked about the rice.

The egg rolled out and fell into the tray. I was about to reach for it when I heard two "clicks".

That egg actually had cracks!

Mrs. Wei's face immediately changed. She looked up at Qin Mipo and said, "Look, everyone is saying that Snake Jiulong's daughter is a broom star. She is so heavy-handed that her eggs are broken."

But I stared at the egg and felt a dull pain in my shoulder.

Mrs. Wei wanted to say something else, but the egg cracked with a "click", followed by a "chirp" sound.

A yellow fluffy chick shook its body and the mucus slowly came out, and it raised its head and screamed "Jiu Jiu".

"Did it hatch?" Mrs. Wei looked at the hatched chick, her face full of joy: "Does this mean something?"

"Oh." Mrs. Wei was already overjoyed and pulled Gu Xiaolan up: "Why are you still kneeling? I'm going back! I'm going back!"

Qin Mipo and I looked at each other. There was deep helplessness and pain in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but as soon as she came up, she started to cough.

Mrs. Wei was so happy that she pulled Gu Xiaolan and didn't care whether she coughed or not, or whether she could criticize her.

He took out a Feng Hong and put it aside, and said to Qin Mipo: "There are still guests at home, so we'll go back now."

She dragged Gu Xiaolan away in a hurry, and called us happily: "Come and eat later!"

The little velvet chicken jumped a few times in the tray, and the egg liquid on its body fell on the rice. I saw that the originally crystal clear white rice immediately turned black and moldy, and became rotten at a speed visible to the naked eye. Rice is even more powerful.

Qin Mipo coughed for a while, panted, and said helplessly: "Gu Xiaolan's resurrection from the dead is probably related to Huilong Village. This vitality is too strong..."

She stretched out her hand to take down the little jumping chicken: "That's it, don't you want to raise chickens?"

Seeing that her hand was about to touch the little velvet chicken, my shoulder hurt even more.

Feeling that there was something wrong, she hurriedly held Qin Mipo back: "Don't touch it."

Just when my hand brushed against the little down chicken, I saw the little down chicken that was "chirping" and jumping in the tray suddenly raised its neck and screamed.

At the same time, a snake head as thick as a chopstick sprang out from under the little velvet chicken's neck, hissing the snake's message outwards, twisting the snake's head, biting the little velvet chicken's head, and then swallowed it in with its mouth open.

Its body was still inside the little velvet chicken's stomach, but the uplifted snake's head had already swallowed the chicken's head.

The chicken's feet were kicking wildly and its small wings were flapping, but it couldn't escape.

Qin Mi Po stood aside and watched, trembling all over: "The eggs hatched into chickens, and chickens gave birth to snakes, which swallowed each other and died."

"What do you mean?" I looked at Qin Mipo puzzled.

But she looked down at my wrist: "Mr. Snake..."

But the black snake jade bracelet on her wrist didn't move at all.

Qin Mipo started to cough again when she was excited. The coughing shook her whole body and her throat made a gurgling sound, but she couldn't spit out any phlegm.

I helped her sit down and poured her a glass of water.

The snake that emerged from the chicken's body on the tray had already swallowed the chicken's neck. It seemed that in an instant, the little snake had grown a little bigger.

I hurriedly went to the kitchen, got the tongs, held the snake body, and prepared to burn it on the coal stove.

But as soon as the tongs were clamped, the snake's body immediately twisted, and the snake's tail was pulled out from the chicken's belly and swung around on the tongs.

While the chicken feet and the snake's tail were flapping at the same time, I quickly walked to the coal stove with the tongs, clamped the snake, and pressed it firmly on the red-burning coal briquettes.

The snake swallowed the chicken head in its mouth, but still refused to let it go. The chicken feathers lit up and glowed blue, and the snake's tail flicked twice in the fire before it moved.

But the pain in my shoulder was even worse, and there was a slight swelling in my shoulder.

Just when the little snake stopped moving and slowly turned black on the coal fire, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

The pain was so painful that my hand twitched and the poker I was holding fell to the ground.

Under the clothes next to the shoulders, something slowly arched.

My arms were limp in pain, my back was dripping with cold sweat, and the clothes on my shoulders were stained red with blood.

There was a coughing sound from the door. Qin Mipo held the door and looked at me while coughing: "What is that on you?"

I leaned against the blackened kitchen wall and shook my head at her.

But Qin Mipo came over step by step, coughing until her face turned purple.

I wanted to move, but the pain of pulling my tendons, bones, and flesh made me unable to breathe.

Qin Mipo pressed my shoulder and tore off the clothes on my left shoulder.

A blood snake as thick as a thumb was holding its head halfway up, swallowing flesh, and there were already two blood pits beside its shoulders.

The blood snake was not afraid of people at all, and didn't care about Qin Mipo. After swallowing the flesh and blood, it lowered its head and hissed again.

"The collarbone of two snakes, the bone will never be destroyed." Qin Mipo's face was flushed purple, her eyes were bloodshot, but she seemed to have stopped coughing.

He turned his hand and took out the razor, and with a twist of his fingers, when the blood snake raised its head, he stretched out his hand and pulled the blood snake's head fiercely, and slashed across with the knife.

With a flash of the knife, the blood snake's head fell into Qin Mipo's hands, but the half of the snake's body hidden in the flesh retracted instantly, as if a big nail had been directly driven into the shoulder.

I groaned in pain, slid down the wall, and sat directly on the ground.

Qin Mipo dropped the bloody snake head in her hand and wanted to look at her right shoulder.

But just as she approached, a whole blood snake protruded out from her left shoulder again, this time screaming at Qin Mipo.

Even the blood snake on the right shoulder leaned over and roared at Qin Mipo.

I wanted to speak, but all the meridians in my body seemed to be being pulled by these two blood snakes. The pain was so painful that I couldn't even breathe except for the cold sweat.

"It's useless." Mo Xiu was beside me at some point and helped me up.

Looking at Qin Mipo: "She and Long Xia are people who returned to Long Village after all. Once they violate the punishment of snake coffin, blood snake collarbone, swallowing blood and flesh, life will be worse than death. Since you know that bones are immortal, beheading What’s the use?”

Qin Mipo's throat bulged, her cheeks bulged, as if she was holding back a cough, and she seemed unable to say anything.

Mo Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed at the two blood snakes.

The blood snake seemed to be still afraid of Mo Xiu and slowly shrank back.

"You don't dare to kill the snake hatched by the chicken. That's what the snake coffin means. Why do you always confront it?" Moxiu picked me up and glanced at the smoldering fire on the coal stove. of embers.

This time he did not carry me to the cave, but went directly outside the house, took out a few leaves from his sleeves and applied them to my wounds.

I don't know that leaf, but when it fell on the wound, the pain dissipated a lot.

Mo Xiu looked at me heavily, as if he wanted to leave again.

I hurriedly pulled Mo Xiu's broad sleeves and looked up at him: "I looked through the roster last night and found that Long Xia's mother didn't seem to have arrived in Huilong Village, which means Long Xia's mother is still alive, right? "

Mo Xiu tugged on his sleeves: "I will send you away as soon as possible."

He seems to not want to face me recently, maybe because he is afraid that I will ask about Fuqian and the snake coffin, or maybe because I asked about the fireflies last night.

But I held on to his sleeves and said, "The people in Huilong Village are all born in Fu Qiansheng, right? But all the people born in Fu Qian are boys, and there are no girls."

"You and my mother know each other. There were no girls in my father's generation, but there are two in our generation, Long Xia and I, neither of them are Fuqian, are they?" I tugged on Mo Xiu's sleeve tightly.

He said in a deep voice: "You took the roster, were you afraid that I would find out who Long Xia's mother was? Or were you afraid that I would ask you about my mother?"
