snake coffin

Chapter 5 Ask the Miqin Family
Unexpectedly, after the blood dripped, Mo Xiu kissed me as soon as he came out.

I blinked for a moment and was a little dazed. I didn't know whether to slap him in the face or to flatter him and say it was okay and let him continue to protect me.

After all, the other snake really existed, and it killed people.

Life is nothing compared to being taken advantage of.

When Mo Xiu saw that I had come back to my senses, his eyes were blank and he pursed his lips, as if he was reminiscing and concealing it, but there was still sadness in his eyes: "This is one of the ways to unlock the black snake pendant. I’m telling you this because I’m afraid you… won’t be able to accept it.”

It's also fortunate that he didn't say anything, otherwise I would never have shed any blood.

"Long Ling." Grandma called me in the kitchen: "It's time to eat."

I hurriedly turned my head to look at Mo Xiu, wanting to ask him if he would like to have a meal together, after all, I still need help from others.

"I don't need to eat." Mo Xiu disappeared immediately.

Holding the black snake pendant, I didn't know what to do for a while, but the snake body carved from black jade seemed to come to life, stretched slowly, and began to swim along the palm of my hand.

Holding a snake in my hand, I, who was already terrified of snakes, almost threw it out.

"Don't be afraid." Mo Xiu's voice came from the black snake's mouth.

Seeing the head of the black snake raised up, the body of the snake that was originally coiled into an adornment unexpectedly formed a black jade bracelet, which was wrapped around my wrist.

"It's time to eat, I'll take you to meet Grandma Qin's apprentice..." Grandma called me again, seeing me staring at the snake-shaped jade bracelet in my hand, with a horrified expression on my face, as if I was not well up.

"Grandma?" I shook the snake-shaped jade bracelet in my hand and looked at her: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just like this, it's always like this..." Grandma sighed, but her eyes were fixed on the snake-shaped jade bracelet in my hand, and there seemed to be a helpless expression on her face.

I didn't understand for a while, what did grandma know, I wanted to ask, but when I saw grandma's distraught face, I suddenly couldn't speak.

After dinner, my mother-in-law brought paper money for incense candles, specially measured a liter of rice, and took out four freshly laid eggs from the chicken coop.

Now that I'm close to the chicken coop, the chickens don't scream and run around, but they still dare not approach me.

Before going out, my mother-in-law still asked me to hold the big white goose: "Snakes are afraid of geese, so don't let go of your holding, lest you get caught by the snake again on the road."

Grandma seemed to be on guard against snakes, which made me feel even more strange.

Grandma Qin is from the next village, so my grandma and I had to leave the village.

At the entrance of the village, Niu Er was basking in the sun after eating and drinking enough. When he saw us coming out, he smiled: "The daughter of the Long family was entangled by a snake. She became a snake woman and gave birth to a snake baby. She gave birth to a snake, but her surname is Long. What do you say?" Is it strange, you say it is strange."

"Don't talk nonsense!" My grandma growled at him and pulled me away.

Niu Er still sang to himself. Although his speech was a bit vague, he sang the nursery rhyme very clearly.

I looked at grandma in surprise: "What does he mean by singing? Why did he give birth to a snake baby with the surname of Long?"

I already knew about being entangled by a snake this morning, but what about giving birth to a snake baby?

"Don't worry about it." Grandma pulled me and pointed at the car: "This is the car you drove back?"

I was about to nod, but my grandma poked her finger on my head: "Don't die, you can drive when you are young, what should you do if you are killed? If you are caught, you will go to jail."

When grandma trains people, that's a great thing.

I hurriedly urged her to leave quickly, and then called my mother and asked her to contact Yuan Fei to drive.

But no one answered the phone. I called my dad, but no one answered.

I thought grandma was going to the next village on foot, but unexpectedly she hired a motorcycle at the entrance of the village.

I also asked the motorcycle driver to arrange for someone to help me move the car, and asked them to help me see if it needs to be repaired, and then return it to others.

People of grandma's generation are very honest.

Grandma Qin was the one who gave my dad Mibal snake venom and was bitten to death by a snake on the way home.

"Her current apprentice is her niece, also named Qin. We all call her Qin Mipo. If you are more polite, call her Aunt Qin." Grandma specifically told me before going in.

When we went, Aunt Qin was helping someone ask for rice, but in the middle of the question, the person who asked for rice was kicked out.

A middle-aged woman in a green cloth coat tied her hair with a wooden hairpin and threw a liter of rice outside the door, cursing with a blue face, "The rice is moldy and the eggs are black. You can do it yourself!" What, don't know yet? Come and ask me!"

The victim was an old woman who had rice thrown at her by the middle-aged woman, and her face looked gloomy.

Pointing at the middle-aged woman: "What are you crazy about? I don't know if you want to extort money. The rice is the new rice of this year, and it was fine when I measured it from the rice tank, but it's moldy when it comes to you." , maybe it’s your fault.”

"You know whether it was me or not." The middle-aged woman pointed at Miri's broken, black and smelly egg: "Black-hearted eggs are the only things with black hearts. You can see for yourself."

As she spoke, she threw out a large piece of meat and a piece of paper money for incense candles in a plastic bag: "Take your things and leave quickly!"

Grandma hurriedly pulled me and said, "This is Aunt Qin."

The old woman wanted to say something else, but Aunt Qin turned her head and stared at her: "If you don't want to do the dirty things you did, and everyone in the nearby village knows about it, get out of here!"

"Bah!" The old woman picked up the piece of meat and the bag of incense paper, gave a loud bah, pointed at Aunt Qin and cursed: "You are a black hearted person, sooner or later you will be bitten to death by a snake just like Granny Qin .”

As soon as she said these words, my grandma froze and pulled me to the side.

Aunt Qin snorted coldly and looked at us in the blink of an eye.

After the old woman left, she said in a low voice, "You heard it too. We told you when my aunt died. From now on, the Long family will not pick up rice when they ask for it."

"Qin Mi Po." Grandma hurriedly pulled my wrist, pointed to the black snake jade bracelet and said, "The black snake is on my wrist."

Aunt Qin looked at the black snake jade bracelet, and looked at me with heavy eyes: "Are you the Dragon Spirit?"

I didn't expect her to recognize me, and nodded hurriedly.

Aunt Qin snorted coldly: "Do you know how you were born?"

When I went back to the village when I was young, I often heard people in the village talk about it, such as the rush of snakes, the neighing of snakes, etc., saying that I am a snake girl.

Seeing me nodding, Aunt Qin said: "You know you are a snake girl, and you still ask me for rice."

"This black snake pendant was given by Grandma Qin!" Grandma pulled me, and looked forward to Aunt Qin: "Back then, the Qin family and the Long family had..."

"Okay!" Aunt Qin heard this and interrupted grandma abruptly: "You can't come in. If you ask for rice, just ask outside the door!"

The old woman just now was kicked out of the house. It would be good if she came to us, she wouldn't even let her into the house.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but grandma was very happy, and hurriedly took out the measured liter of rice and rice, and took out four more eggs.

Aunt Qin glanced at me, moved out a long table by herself, set up an incense table, picked up two eggs and buried them in the rice, lit incense candles, and threw two futons.

Grandma hurriedly pulled me to kneel on the futon, and then began to mutter something.

Aunt Qin squatted on the side burning the paper, and glanced at me from time to time, but it was still burning, and the paper that was burning well was extinguished.

Aunt Qin lit it again, and this time the paper went out as soon as it entered the brazier.

She went into the house on purpose and came out with a stack of paper, but it was on fire when it was lit, and it went out when it was thrown into the brazier.

Aunt Qin's face looked a little ugly. She gritted her teeth and actually took a red briquette from the briquette stove at home and put it in the brazier.

But even so, the obviously dry paper was thrown into the paper tray, just like the wet paper, it turned black, but it didn't catch fire.

Aunt Qin was sweating slowly on her forehead, she turned her head to look at me, then looked up at the incense burning on the censer, as if trying to understand something.

I got up and took out the eggs buried in the rice, put them on the table, looked at my grandma and said, "Look, it's not that I don't ask. The snake breathes, and the paper doesn't burn. The eggs are buried in the rice, and they are stained by the snake."

She said, smashing the two eggs on the ground.

They were obviously eggs just taken from the henhouse, but inside the cracked egg liquid, there were actually two small snakes that didn't open their eyes.

As soon as the egg is broken, it twists a few times in the egg liquid and then freezes.

My grandma was so frightened that she took me two steps back and looked at Aunt Qin: "But back then the Qin family and the Long family..."

Aunt Qin's face darkened: "I don't want to follow in my aunt's footsteps and be bitten to death by a snake. This is the snake warning me. Go back and have a look, I'm afraid something happened at home."

"What happened back then between the Qin family and the Long family, let's wait until you find the snake coffin." Aunt Qin looked at the two snake corpses on the ground, and at the other eggs brought by grandma: "Open these two, too. "

Grandma took out four eggs in total, and there are only two left. Hearing Aunt Qin's words, she threw them on the ground without thinking about anything.

Just like the ones buried in the rice just now, each egg contains a small snake.

Grandma was sweating coldly, and pulled me to go home.

"Let her find the snake coffin, she knows." Mo Xiu said suddenly: "The black snake pendant saved their Qin family back then, now it's their Qin family's turn to return it."

I looked at Aunt Qin and just opened my mouth, but Aunt Qin sternly said: "You better go, something happened at home."

Her tone was obviously chasing people away, and she was about to close the door.

But I felt something coldly crawling over my wrist, followed by the black snake jade bracelet to the ground.

"Are you even going to chase me? The Qin family is so brave!" Mo Xiu fell to the ground and turned into a human form, shouting deeply.

Aunt Qin, who was about to slam the door, saw Mo Xiu, her legs trembled, her knees went limp, and she knelt down: "Snake Lord, don't dare! Don't dare!"
