Chapter 63 The Revenge of the Snakes
We were all frightened, Ye Feiji grabbed my arm tightly, my uncle took a few steps back, and just as the snakes were about to crawl into the gate, he rushed up to close the gate again.

But it was useless to close the gate, because at this time we saw snakes crawling through the gaps in the roof tiles, under the walls, and wherever there was a gap.The uncle’s face was pale, and he said that this time he really offended the master we can’t afford to offend. After he finished speaking, he immediately rushed into the room, turned the bed over, and called us in. At this time, Xiao Mizaki also woke up. But she didn't know what happened, so I carried her into my cousin's room.

After Uncle Ye Feiji opened the bed, a square cement board was exposed under the bed. He moved the cement board aside vigorously, revealing a cellar.A few of us jumped down from the cellar, and then covered the cement slabs, and the surroundings were so dark that we couldn't see our fingers.

My uncle told us that this cellar is used for storing meat and vegetables in winter, and it is sealed so that there are no gaps for flies to fly in.But there is a ventilation hole made of bamboo, which leads to the roots of fruit trees in the vegetable field outside, hoping that the snakes will not find it.

This cellar is 1.7 meters high, three meters long and three meters wide. His coffin was also placed below.

Ye Feiji was in shock and asked why so many snakes suddenly appeared!But it frightened her timid, is it related to the two snakes that were killed that day!
I told her yes, because I killed those two snakes, so now I am getting revenge. It seems that what the old woman on the single-plank bridge in the dream said is true, the so-called land owner will not let us go, it is just me Did not expect to come so soon.

Uncle Biao motioned us not to speak, he wants to listen to the movement outside.

After we calmed down, we put our ears against the wall to listen, but we couldn't hear anything, it was as quiet as death above.This is unreasonable!It is impossible for so many snakes to be silent. Didn’t those snakes come into the house?
After a long time, there was still no movement outside. My cousin opened a gap in the cement cover and looked out with a flashlight. He said that there was nothing outside, let alone snakes, not even half an earthworm.

Strange, we clearly saw a lot of snakes entering the house on the roof, at the foot of the wall, and in the crevices of the walls, plus the colorful snakes at the door, how could there be no more?
Uncle Biao said it was weird, and asked him to explore first. After speaking, he took out the bamboo slice, read a few words in Miao dialect, and then a drop of thick black water dripped from the end of the bamboo slice.This drop of black water was also miraculous. After it fell to the ground, it wriggled and turned into a small black earthworm-like worm.

My cousin's little earthworm burrowed out along the mouth of the cellar, came back a few minutes later, and finally burrowed back into the bamboo slices.After the uncle took the bamboo back, he turned around and looked at us incredulously, and said, there is really nothing outside, it is so weird, obviously saw a lot of snakes coming in, why did they all disappear all of a sudden? ?This doesn't make sense!

Yes, we've all seen it, and we don't think it's hallucinations caused by vertigo. Besides, I didn't know the danger until Tongtong reminded me. How could Tongtong make a wrong judgment!

Ye Feiji asked her cousin, what is the little black earthworm he released, and is it reliable?I also suddenly remembered that day he also put earthworms into the snake hole in the old tomb to explore the way, but he failed to find two snakes.
We have seen the little earthworms turned from the black water dripping from the bamboo slices twice, and my cousin didn’t hide from us anymore, saying that these are the Gu worms he raised, and they are usually used to search for precious medicinal materials in the mountains, and they are released in the mountains You can find good treasures by following it. As for the refining method, it's a long story, and it's not suitable to tell us outsiders.

In fact, we are not interested in hearing him talk about his Gu worm at this moment, we just want to know whether this worm is reliable, but my cousin said let us rest assured.

The air in the cellar is getting less and less, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. It is not an option to hide like this, and my uncle is also thinking of a way.At this moment, we suddenly heard something, the sound came from behind, the flashlight looked back, and found that it was coming from the air vent.

Could it be that the ventilation hole was discovered by a snake, and is it crawling inside now, or why the air in the cellar suddenly became short of breath? Could it be that the ventilation hole was blocked by a snake.Uncle shot the light of the flashlight into the air vent, bent down to look in, and suddenly he bounced off like an electric shock.

I was about to ask what was going on, but before I could open my mouth, I saw a fist-sized snake head coming out of the air vent.What a big snake!The snake's head alone was so big, no wonder the air in the cellar became difficult to breathe, it turned out that the big fat snake blocked the vent.

Ye Feiji was timid, seeing the huge snake head immediately screamed in shock, the decibel volume seemed to shake the entire cellar down.

It was too late and then it was too late, I immediately picked up a kitchen knife on the cover of the water tank at the side, and couldn't help but chop at the snake head that had just come in with all my strength.

With a sound of "da", the snake's head with the size of a fist cut me off and fell to the ground. The snake blood sprayed from the broken neck of the snake splashed all over my body, and a strong smell of blood immediately filled the cellar.

Cousin's bamboo piece Gu worm is off the chain again, how could he see that there are no snakes outside, and who is the big guy who almost got in now.Fortunately, the air vent is small, and after a big one gets in, other small poisonous snakes can't get in.

At this time, the body of the fat snake whose head I had cut off blocked the vent, so there was no need to worry about another snake getting in.But what we are worried about is that it is becoming more and more difficult to breathe in the cellar, and it will not last long at all. Otherwise, we will not be bitten to death by the poisonous snake, but we will also suffocate to death here.

The cousin said that it seems that this time it is going to be a big investment. We quickly asked him what kind of big investment he would make, and if he didn't think about it, he would die if he didn't think about it.

The cousin didn't speak, and took out a small bottle from his body. After he unscrewed the bottle, there was a big stench in the cellar. Compared with this stench, the stench of snake blood was much better. , It smells a hundred times worse than a rotting corpse, Ye Feiji vomited on the spot.

Uncle asked us to reach out, use the foul-smelling bottle to drop a drop of yellow water on the palms of Ye Feiji and me, and let us lick it with our tongues.We didn't ask too much, we licked our tongues and frowned, and found that although the yellow water was extremely ugly, it tasted surprisingly good, a bit like honey.

The cousin himself put a drop on the palm of his hand, licked it clean with his tongue, and gave Ye Feiji another drop, and asked Ye Feiji to lick it for Xiao Jianqi.

After I licked the honey-flavored yellow water, I only felt the warmth in my stomach, and then the sour feeling suddenly became very hungry.

My uncle said that this is the insect repellent lotion he made with several kinds of special medicinal materials. It took him two years to find these medicinal materials. As long as he takes one drop, no poisonous insects or snakes dare to come near it for two hours. body.After the uncle finished speaking, we didn't care whether we believed it or not, he pushed away the cement cover at the entrance of the cellar and got out.

For the sake of safety, we didn't follow out immediately, but poked our heads out to look, and saw that the room was already covered with dense snakes.There are pythons with thick thighs, wire snakes with thin chopsticks, king cobras, corona snakes, vipers, rattlesnakes, red-necked snakes, and five-step snakes. There are all kinds of poisonous snakes. There are also things that have never been seen before, such as a snake with two pointed horns on its head.

Uncle Biao calmly walked out of the hall from the room. To our surprise, the snakes avoided where he went, as if Uncle Biao was not alone at this time, but a raging flame. Get scalded.

It was amazing, and I immediately got out of the cellar, surrounded by a rattlesnake. I dared to reach out and bite it, but it kept backing away.This poisonous snake is usually a god of death, but now it is weaker than an earthworm. I touched its body, but this rattlesnake ran away in fright as if it had been scalded by a red-hot iron.

Ye Feiji also crawled out of the cellar, she was still evasive when she saw so many snakes, I showed her another corona snake, she was not so afraid, but she also didn't want to get close to these disgusting guys.

Uncle Biao walked into the room and brought us several snakeskin bags, saying that the effect of the medicine is only two hours, and we must get rid of these snakes within two hours, so we should seize the time.

After lighting several more kerosene lamps in the house, we began to pick up the snakes into the snakeskin bags. Every time we picked up a snake, we struggled fiercely, but we didn't dare to turn our heads and bite people.Ye Feiji didn't dare to catch it with his hands, so he brought a pair of burning pincers, and saw that what she was pinching looked like strings, not a poisonous snake.

After picking it up for about an hour, we searched the whole room and caught all the snakes that were hiding. We packed the snakes into five sacks, and some big snakes took up one bag with four or five snakes.

For the sake of safety, the five sacks containing the snakes were covered with another layer to prevent holes from escaping.Looking at the five sacks on the ground, I asked my cousin what to do with them. It would be heavy and dangerous to carry them away and throw them away. Wouldn’t it be possible to boil a tank of boiling water and scald the bags to death?

The cousin also felt worried, saying that if he killed so many snakes at once, his house would become very evil in the future, and he could no longer live in it.But if these snakes are released, what if they seek revenge again, the insect repellent lotion can only be used once again, and two years of hard work is very expensive.

I had finished catching the snake, so I asked Ye Feiji to go to the cellar to bring Xiao Jianqi out, so as not to scare her.

I discussed with my cousin how to deal with these snakes, and finally I was smart enough to think of a way, and transported all the snakes to the spring at the bottom of the mountain before dawn.For the sake of privacy, I dismissed my cousin and uncle, threw five sack snakes into the water and drowned them all, and then let Tongtong drag them into the spring, and into the underground water cave, where the little black beetles ate up all their bones.

After dealing with these snakes, I took off the clothes full of snake blood and washed them in the spring water. At this moment, a hysterical sound suddenly came from nowhere.

I only heard it say: "You devil, you are too vicious!"
