The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 188 Golden Thread Snake

Xia Xiangxi was still terrified when he used the dagger to attack the wild dog that was pounced on him. When the dagger stabbed down, he always felt a little soft-hearted, so he missed it.

Shi Wei was different, she shouted to Xia Xiangxi that if she didn't kill the wild dog, they would be the ones who would die. That's good.

It wasn't until Xia Xiangxi saw that Shi Wei stepped on a pebble and slipped, the wild dog rushed towards Shi Wei, opened its bloody mouth, Xia Xiangxi became anxious, and rode on the wild dog like a horse, He stabbed it several times on the head and back of the neck, and the dog's blood shot out from the dog's body like a fountain, splashing Xia Xiangxi all over his body and face.

The wild dog was killed, and the other wild dogs were afraid, and they didn't dare to rush over again. They cowered and hid a few meters away, but they were reluctant to leave.

Shi Wei said that the blood of this wild dog should not be wasted. Those ghosts are also afraid of wild dogs that eat dead human flesh all year round. This kind of dog blood has the most powerful effect of warding off evil spirits.

Xia Xiangxi found out the bottle of mineral water he had finished drinking, and put the wild dog's blood into it.I also soaked some cinnabar in it, and kept it to drive away ghosts and evil spirits when encountering ghosts.

Shi Wei chopped up the fat, pig-like wild dog, not just to vent her anger.Shi Wei said that they couldn't be blocked by those wild dogs in this cave. After a long time, they would become trapped beasts.Dismember the wild dog piece by piece, and then throw it next to the wild dogs outside the cave. While they are eating meat, they will have a chance to escape.

Xia Xiangxi was worried that Shi Wei's method would not work. If those dogs found out that it was the same kind of meat, they might not eat it.

Shi Wei said that Xia Xiangxi has little knowledge, what is a beast?It's useless to talk about the same kind with animals.She also ate dog meat before, and she threw the leftover dog bones to the family dog, and the dog would want to chew up the bones and swallow them.

Xia Xiangxi nodded, and also helped Shi Wei cut up the wild dog's meat, and threw them out of the cave piece by piece together with Shi Wei. Those wild dogs smelled blood, and rushed towards the dog meat like crazy , and ignored Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei who took the opportunity to escape from the cave.

The two girls fled for a while as if they were desperate, and slowed down when they saw that the wild dogs did not chase after them.Xia Xiangxi wanted to wash off the dog blood on her face, Shi Wei advised her not to, saying that they still had to go to the deep mountains, this dog blood can ward off evil spirits, why wash it?Only then did Xia Xiangxi notice that Shi Wei's face was also smeared with dog blood. The miner's lamp shone on it, the blood was bloody and terrifying, and made her hairs stand on end, which was very frightening.

In this way, if it is scary, it is accurate.

After encountering wild dogs last night, Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei changed to rest during the day and go on the road at night.This approach is the safest.

In the middle of the night, it was safe for Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei to walk backwards. In the second half of the night, Xia Xiangxi saw a long-haired female ghost in white clothes always floating in front of them on a section of the mountain road.

Shi Wei said that she didn't see it.Xia Xiangxi thought for a while, and began to think of the things she had experienced and heard in the past, and asked Shi Wei if the woman in white was the evil spirit of some treasure?

Shi Wei said it was possible.She couldn't see the female ghost even with her yin and yang eyes, so she asked Xia Xiangxi to keep a close eye on the female ghost and lead her to chase after it.

Before going far, Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei saw what seemed to be the ruins of an ancient temple. There was a piece of broken walls, and there was only a half-body Buddha statue sitting on the lotus platform, which could prove that It used to be a temple worshiped by believers.

After arriving here, Xia Xiangxi could no longer see the female ghost in white. She and Shi Wei looked around, but they couldn't find any place to hide the treasure.It is impossible for temples to have any treasures. If there are treasures, that is, the golden clothes wrapped on the Buddha statues have been stripped away long ago.

Xia Xiangxi was wondering what the female ghost was trying to do to lure them here, when Shi Wei tripped over something a few meters away.

Xia Xiangxi hurried over, while helping Shi Wei who was cursing because of the pain from the fall.Under the light of the miner's lamp, what tripped Shi Wei wasn't any stones or sundries, but a small dirt bag.All the places are full of weeds, but here is a living soil, and the floating soil is still half dry, so it can be seen that the soil has been upturned no more than today.

Intuitively, both Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei thought that something must be buried there, and there was no smell of decay, so Shi Wei joked that there might be some treasure buried there.However, as soon as her words fell to the ground, Xia Xiangxi saw a bunch of hair, and immediately the two of them concluded that there must be a woman's body buried there.

Xia Xiangxi thought of the white-clothed female ghost just now, and felt that she had guessed that the white-clothed female ghost was the evil spirit emitted by the treasure, and she had guessed wrong.Or this is where the corpse of the female ghost was buried.

Xia Xiangxi slowly shoveled away the soil layer with an engineering shovel.The burial is not very deep, that is, a shallow pit that can just bury a person.

Xia Xiangxi felt that the murderer must have accidentally killed him. From the shallow burial, it could be seen that the hasty handling of the corpse was definitely not a deliberate murder or a habitual offender.

Shi Wei heard Xia Xiangxi say this, and even praised Xia Xiangxi, she is quite suitable to be a detective!
Xia Xiangxi immediately said: "Don't! Save yourself! I don't want to deal with cases that hurt people and kill people all day long. I can't afford that bowl of rice."

While talking, Xia Xiangxi's engineering shovel had already touched a blunt object, so she and Shi Wei used the dagger to slowly poke the floating soil, and after a while, a woman's head was exposed.Shi Wei was so courageous that she reached out to grab the hair of the woman's head.Xia Xiangxi was much more cautious, and kept staring at the dead head. When Shi Wei grabbed the head, Xia Xiangxi saw a snake as thick as a finger with a golden thread growing from head to tail. , protruding from the mouth of the woman's head, a pair of dark green snake eyes shone brightly.Seeing Shi Wei's hand stretched towards the head, she raised her head and prepared to attack Shi Wei.

Xia Xiangxi had quick hands and quick eyes, and pushed Shi Wei away. Shi Wei was squatting, but when Xia Xiangxi pushed her suddenly, her body lost her center of gravity, she leaned back suddenly, and sat on the ground with her buttocks. On a pile of messy bricks, not only was her butt pierced, but her tailbone was also hurt. She screamed loudly in pain, and her face twisted instantly.

Xia Xiangxi didn't care about Shi Wei either, picked up the engineering shovel and slapped the woman's head fiercely, as if she saw something that she hated so much, and she wouldn't stop until it broke or died.

Shi Wei originally wanted to blame Xia Xiangxi for pushing her there?Seeing Xia Xiangxi like this, he knew there must be something wrong, so he clenched his dagger tightly without asking, got up from the ground, and leaned over.

When Xia Xiangxi finally stopped panting, Shi Wei saw that the woman's head had been patted into rotten flesh.

Shi Wei didn't see what the snake looked like, but after hearing Xia Xiangxi's description, her face changed drastically and she said it was a golden thread snake.

Xia Xiangxi grew up in the northern plains, where there are snakes but most of them are harmless.But whether non-venomous or venomous, snakes are not popular animals.

Shi Wei said that this kind of golden thread snake is extremely poisonous, and it is an extremely rare species among snakes. It is said that its snake gallbladder is a panacea that can cure all diseases. I have also heard that there are such poisonous snakes artificially bred. The value of golden thread snake gallbladder ranges from 10,000+ to hundreds of thousands.Like all precious creatures in the world, the rarer the fecundity, the lower the survival rate.It is even more difficult to artificially breed such snakes.The incubation temperature required for such golden thread snake eggs is very harsh.

Shi Wei has heard that people with black hearts use human bodies to hatch this kind of snake.Some pregnant women were tricked into drinking water containing golden thread snake eggs, and the snake eggs hatched in a constant temperature environment like the human body.There is only one purpose for pregnant women to drink snake eggs. Pregnant women will have pregnancy symptoms and fetal movement. After the golden thread snake hatches, the pregnant woman will mistakenly think that the various discomforts in the stomach are caused by the pregnant fetus. Yes, it doesn't matter at all.When the golden thread snake has grown to a certain level, it will not be used to living in the human body, and will drill holes in the human body as if it were soil, and torture the human body to death.

Xia Xiangxi was terrified when he heard it, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Shi Wei used a dagger to slowly push away the floating dirt on the female corpse. Xia Xiangxi really saw that the female corpse had a bulging belly, and it was really a pregnant woman.

At this time, the light of a flashlight lit up in the distance, and there were the voices of two men talking.Or because it was a barren mountain, those two people deliberately spoke loudly and boldly, even though they were still far away, their voices could still be heard quite clearly.

Xia Xiangxi listened for a while, and unexpectedly heard Uncle Ma's voice.The voice of another middle-aged man repeatedly assured Uncle Ma that his goods...

Xia Xiangxi hurriedly turned off her and Shi Wei's miner's lamps before the two people found them, and hurriedly buried the female body that was dug up, and took Shi Wei to hide in the nearby weed pile.

Not long after, Uncle Ma came over with that man.

Xia Xiangxi heard Uncle Ma say: "Don't lie to me, what was the golden thread snake gall that you gave me last time? Don't blame me for being rude if you cheat me again this time!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Then how could it be! The last time it was also the gall of a snake with golden threads, but it was impure. This time I used my woman's body to hatch those snake eggs, and I spent a lot of money... ..."
