Chapter 7: The Serpent Menace

At this time, the wooden sword hanging at the door suddenly trembled and made a muffled thunderous sound. The black cloak seemed to be particularly afraid of the sound, and its body twisted and jumped out like a mist.

Grandpa also woke up at this time, touched his forehead, and sweated all over his head. Look outside, it's dawn, I have a piece of clothing on my body, and Captain Zhao still sleeps and doesn't know the east, west, north and south.

At the bedside, Fu Lijuan and the old doctor took care of Zheng Huanian, and the grandfather looked over and breathed a sigh of relief. The blood mark on Zheng Huanian's neck faded a lot, and it was about to disappear.

But thinking of the dream just now, Grandpa was a little uneasy. The black cloak is not good, how do you look at it, how do you think it has something to do with the snake spirit on the big banyan tree.

"Look at Comrade Xiao Zheng, I'll go back to the village. Grandpa hurriedly finished talking to Fu Lijuan and ran out. To be on the safe side, the wooden sword was still hanging on the door frame, and he was walking back in fear.

Along the way, grandpa always felt that someone was staring at him, and he was afraid of falling when he walked and was afraid of breaking when he crossed the bridge. I couldn't help but turn around and scold twice, the roadside was also full of weeds, where was there a figure?

This feeling didn't disappear until he entered Taiqing Village, and his grandfather was also a little panicked at this time, so he first bowed to the small temple, and then hurriedly went to the back mountain to find Uncle Zeng, who was herding cattle.

The grass in the morning was fat and tender, the cattle ate happily, and Uncle Zeng also sat next to him and smoked dry cigarettes, patting the horns of the big yellow cattle with his hands.

When grandpa saw Uncle Zeng, it was like taking a reassuring pill. Taking a breath, he squatted beside his uncle Zeng and told him all about his experience last night, including his dreams this morning.

After listening to this, Uncle Zeng calculated for a while, recited a few words of mantra that his grandfather couldn't understand, and then said: "The snake is difficult, it seems that it doesn't want to be good about this matter." This is a bit difficult to do, and it is a sin to accidentally fall into the devil's path. ”

"Uncle, are you thinking too much?" said Grandpa, "Such a goblin harms people's lives, and you can kill it!"

"What you said is simple, forgot what I said about cause and effect?" Uncle Zeng knocked his grandfather with a cigarette pot and sighed, "Cause and effect, others will only interfere in this matter." You go back and let Captain Zhao rest assured that the snake spirit will not attack the villagers again in the future, but the banyan tree will not be moved for the time being. ”

In fact, Uncle Zeng didn't say something, that is: their business is over, but you are worried about it.

Although Uncle Zeng didn't explain, Grandpa is not stupid, he is fine.

What are you afraid of when you are worried about the snake spirit? Isn't there still a yellow-skinned godfather covering him, no matter how bad Uncle Zeng is, he can't watch him have an accident!

So as long as you stay in Taiqing Village, grandpa is still quite at ease.

This matter ended like this, but Zheng Huanian suffered, one leg was split by himself, and he woke up like ashes.

Later, although he was picked up in the hospital, he still fell into a disability, and the hideous scar on his leg followed him for the rest of his life.

As for the grandfather, after that incident, he was imprisoned in the village by his great-uncle for two months, and for nothing else, he was not allowed to leave the village.

Soon, time passed to the end of the year, and Grandpa forgot about it. On this day, he was teaching, and suddenly Fu Lijuan came to him.

The two chatted for a few words, and the grandfather soon found that her expression was wrong, and after some questioning, Fu Lijuan said the reason why she came to Taiqing Village.

It turned out that she had nightmares for seven days in a row, and the dream was full of pictures of her grandfather being hanged by a colorful snake, which made her wake up every day and night, and she was terrified.

Because of Zheng Huanian's experience, Fu Lijuan also believed a little bit in this kind of thing. Don't worry, just come and take a look.

Hearing that she came because she was worried about herself, Grandpa was both a little warm and a little ashamed. Thinking that it would not be easy for the two to meet, he proposed to go fishing in the river at the edge of the village to relax.

Fu Lijuan nodded in agreement, and after her grandfather finished his morning class, the two of them borrowed something from the village chief and went to the river, and found a better place to put down the bait.

said it was fishing, but in fact, the two of them came to chat and catch up.

When they came, there were three educated youths, and now there are only two of them left, and they are a little embarrassed to say.

The two were chatting, and suddenly Fu Lijuan screamed, and countless toads came out of the water!

Toads are not uncommon in rural areas, but groups of toads will make their scalp tingle when they look at it.

The ugly things cooed and jumped forward as if they had been driven off the water by something.

Countless toads jumped out of the river as if fleeing, and they were not afraid of people at all, and jumped straight past the two of them.

A few panicked and jumped directly on Fu Lijuan's body.

Girls are afraid of this kind of thing, let alone so much, even grandpa feels his scalp tingle.

Fu Lijuan screamed, slapped them down, and subconsciously got up and wanted to run, but her feet slipped and she fell into the river!

Grandpa didn't say a word, he didn't care about where so many toads came from, so he jumped directly into the river. quickly found Fu Lijuan, pulled her out, and inadvertently looked at the river, and was so frightened that her soul flew away.

I saw the water rushing, like some behemoth swimming from a distance. Under the foam of the white flowers, you can vaguely see a pair of yellow and clear eyes!

These eyes are too familiar, so scared that he almost didn't hold back a mouthful of water, and fled ashore with Fu Lijuan hands and feet, far away from the water, and didn't want anything, and ran back to Taiqing Village with Fu Lijuan on his back.

His mind was full of toads and the eyes of the river.

Grandpa didn't understand? This is a snake spirit staring at him!

finally woke Fu Lijuan up, she was frightened, but she only remembered that she fell into the water.

Grandpa didn't tell her the truth, for fear that she would think too much, and even more afraid that she would worry.

After the villagers sent Fu Lijuan back to the neighboring village, the grandfather kept finding Uncle Zeng. After hearing this, Uncle Zeng didn't speak with a black face, and only told his grandfather not to go out of the village again before the year.

This incident made grandpa feel palpitations, and he understood that the threat of the snake spirit was not just talking, and he was sweating in his palms when he thought about it later.

The next few days can be said to be scared, and it was finally at the threshold of the New Year, and grandpa brought up the matter again. I asked Uncle Zeng by luck, is this matter written off after the New Year?

Uncle Zeng shook his head and said, "The snake is difficult, since it is eyeing you, it will not let you go so easily." ”

Grandpa was also anxious when he heard this, and he couldn't stay in Taiqing Village for the rest of his life without going out!

Uncle Zeng was still smoking dry cigarettes, and after hearing his grandfather's words, he said, "Don't worry, isn't your uncle still here?

Uncle Zeng swore that he was true, but he refused to say what he wanted to do.

Grandpa is worried about this year, and there is no taste in what he eats, that is, he is worried that he will not be able to go out for the rest of his life, and he is also worried that the snake spirit will not make him successful, and he will turn his head to harm Fu Lijuan, then he will affect her!

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the grandfather fell asleep worriedly, the yellow horse coat, which had not been seen for many days, came to his dream again, and said to him: "Dazhu, tell your uncle, I agreed." ”

After saying such a clueless sentence, the yellow coat left.

Grandpa couldn't figure out why he woke up, so the first thing he did was put on his shoes and ran to find his great-uncle.

Uncle Zeng was originally worried, but when he heard his grandfather say the words of the yellow jacket, he suddenly smiled and slapped his thigh suddenly: "It's done! If your godfather is willing to take action, this matter can be done!"

Grandpa was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Uncle Zeng Meimei took a puff of cigarette and explained to her grandfather: "The eighth day of the first month is the birthday of the third grandfather Hu, and the immortal family will go to pay homage to his birthday at that time, and your godfather is no exception, of course, including the snake spirit in Baisha Village." ”

Grandpa listened intently, and when he saw that Uncle Zeng mentioned the snake spirit, the surprise on his face was immediately overflowing. It turns out that Uncle Zeng has not made a move, just waiting for this opportunity!

"As long as your godfather does something and delays it for a few days, we will have a chance. Uncle Zeng said with a gloomy face: "That snake has taken your life and fallen into the evil way." Our uncle and nephew, when the eighth day of the new year arrives, we will clean it up. ”
