Chapter 1: The White Lady

Next Chapter

In the old days, the traffic was inconvenient and the roads were difficult, and the people in the village relied on a group of craftsmen to support themselves, and carpenters, blacksmiths, and bricklayers all relied on one hand to eat.

As the saying goes: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, marriage, funeral, marriage, each has its own destiny." My grandfather is a "Mr. Bai", and he is also the only craftsman who does white things in ten miles and eight townships.

But this kind of craftsmanship always has a bit of evil in my impression!

When I was eight years old, the fat man in the neighborhood told me to go to the "mud ditch" to touch the shrimp.

I didn't really want to go, but I couldn't stand the fat man's hands under the squeaky nest to learn chicks and laugh at me for being timid.

I was so provoked by him, I followed him.

The "mud ditch" is full of silt, and if we are not careful, we will sink into it, and when we tremble, we will not be afraid to find that it has not sunk, and we will immediately grope and start to touch the shrimp.

I don't know if the fat man owes it when he hits his little hands, so he said that he touched the loach, but it turned out to be a white lady with white flowers.

The people in the village all call the white snake the white lady, saying that this thing is spiritual.

Touching the shrimp can touch a white snake, this is repayable! Frightened, the fat man dragged the snake's tail where he was stunned, and at a glance he knew that he was scared stupid, and I shouted to him to let go of his hand but he didn't respond.

Just in time, Laizi, a drunkard in the village, was passing by, and scolded us a few words when he saw the two of us little children squeaking and screaming.

Finally, I saw an adult coming, and I hurriedly told him about the fat man holding the white snake.

As a result, before I could say anything to ask him for help, Laizi's eyes lit up.

muttering that the white lady is a big supplement or something like that, he touched along the edge of the beach, and it seemed that he was also worried that he would fall into it.

At first, he asked the fat man to pull the white lady out, but he took a stone and guarded it, saying that when the fat man pulled it out, a stone was slapped to death. As a result, the fat man was frightened, and he shook his head desperately and didn't dare to pull. Uncle Lai, who was angry, scolded the fat man for not planting, and walked over with a stone to grab the snake in the fat man's hand, holding the snake tail with one hand, pulling hard, and the other hand began to stroke upwards from the snake's tail, and a one-man white snake was lifted out by him.

At this time, we can see the appearance of the white snake clearly, the whole body is as white as jade, shining in the sun, that is, the open mouth is purple and black, and it is not a good kind at first glance.

Today, the road was being built in the village, and the adults were all preparing to eat a big pot of rice at the entrance of the village, and after we went, we were worried that we would go to the "mud ditch" to play and be beaten, so we kept silent.

By the time it was time to eat, it was already afternoon, and the fat man seemed a little uncomfortable writhing around me.

"Quanzi! Why is my spine so itchy! You scratch me. The fat man was holding the plate and didn't want to let go, so he scolded me and asked me to tickle him.

I was also eating a big pot of rice, but the fat man was my hardest buddy, so I could only lift his clothes with one hand to see if there was any hair.

I picked it up and startled me, the white flowers on the fat man's back were all small pus that had turned white, dense like a white bread!

As the fat man writhed, the little pus-filled pustules burst open, and the white pulp flowed down his back.

This scene disgusted me, and I pushed the fat man out in one hand.

The fat man fell to the ground, and the sound of a clatter attracted everyone's attention, but before I put down the clothes I picked up just now, the villagers saw the things on the fat man's back.

The fat man's mother was frightened when she saw this scene, thinking that it was some kind of infectious disease, and called the village doctor Grandpa Zhang to come and show him.

Grandpa Zhang was just about to touch it, but my grandfather pulled it away.

Grandpa asked the fat man and his father to hold down the fat man and not let him twist around.

Because of his grandfather's prestige, the fat man and his father immediately pressed down on the fat man.

At this time, Grandpa also got close to carefully observe these pustules.

Unexpectedly, these pustules seemed to be alive, and as the fat man breathed, the pustules that burst open also opened and closed and spit out pus.

Grandpa instructed someone to fetch a scoop of well water, and then slowly poured it on the fat man's back.

Originally, it was to clean the fat man's wounds, but he didn't expect that as soon as the cold well water fell a little, the fat man screamed like an evil spirit, and shouted hot.

At this time, I also felt that my whole body was starting to itch.

Grandpa's face was solemn and he handed me the scoop.

I took it easily, but I didn't expect this scoop of cold well water to be as hot as boiling water.

I threw the scoop out with a snort, shaking my hand vigorously.

Grandpa was disturbed by my strange screams, looked at me strangely, pulled me over, and took off my clothes in three or two clicks, looking at the strange eyes of the people around me, I knew that I must be no better off on my back than the fat man.

Grandpa gently patted me and the fat man a few times all over the body, and when it hit my neck, it was like a pinprick pain, and the fat man did the same, and slowly two red spots appeared on our necks, like a snake bite wound.

Grandpa's face changed, and he yelled at me: "What are you both doing!"

I didn't see my grandfather lose his temper so much, and I immediately told me about our encounter with the White Lady.

"How dare you two grow! The white lady dares to move, now it's okay, people come to ask for interest. Grandpa said angrily.

said that when Uncle Lai Zi finally took the white lady away, everyone also discussed.

It is no wonder that Lai Zi didn't come here to eat with a worried face today, it turned out that he caught the white lady, and it is estimated that he lost his conscience and sold it for money.

Grandpa's face changed again and again, and he was so green that he beckoned someone to dig up some soil on the sunny slope at the east end of the village, and then mixed it with grass ash and mud to bring it over.

The fat man's father pulled a villager to hold the fat man down for him, and he ran out at once. After a while, he rushed back with ash and mud.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the mud was wiped on his back, the itching disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by a cold feeling.

At this time, I also heard that it was the white snake that caused me and the fat man to suffer such a big loss.

"Uncle Lai Zi ate it, and brought it to avenge me. I said viciously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, my grandfather stood up suddenly.

"Zhuzi! Go to Lai Zi's house, don't let him kill the snake! Once the snake is killed, these two children will not be able to live!" Grandpa hurriedly urged Uncle Zhuzi.

This sentence immediately made the fat man's father and mother widen their eyes, I didn't expect that a snake could still harm the fat man and I couldn't live!

"Uncle Bai, you said that Bai Niangniang wants to kill the fat man and the whole child?" asked the fat man with a look of disbelief.

Grandpa pinched my ear fiercely, and then turned back to the villagers and said: "The white snake is spiritual, and it was originally good to live and cultivate in the mud ditch, but I didn't expect to be found out by these two children and caught, doesn't this destroy people's cultivation!"

If the white snake is still alive, I can still prepare some tribute for it to dissipate its anger and leave, if the white snake is killed by Laizi, not only these two children, but our village will be robbed. ”

When the people in the village heard Grandpa's words, they were immediately shocked, and if others said this, they would not believe it, but when they came out of Grandpa's mouth, they immediately believed it for seven or eight points.

After hearing this, the fat man's father raised his hand and was about to beat the fat man, but he couldn't do it when he saw the fat man being pressed to the ground and humming.

"Ah!" a terrible scream suddenly rang out from the west.

It's Uncle Zhuzi's voice, but it sounds like something terrible has happened, you must know that the head of the village is in the east, and Laizi's house is in the westernmost part, and the sound can be transmitted here, and it is estimated that the voice will be broken.

Grandpa rushed out with me and the fat man in one hand, I looked up at my grandfather, and my grandfather at this time had a serious face and an unusually solemn look in his eyes.

I also felt that something bad had happened, and sure enough, the snake skin of the white snake was hanging at the door of Laizi's house.

White Snake is dead!

And Uncle Zhuzi, who made a strange scream, stood at the door of Laizi's house in a daze, like a wooden man, the whole person was wet as if he had been fished out of the water, but he didn't look at the snakeskin at the door, but stared at the yard.

Grandpa put me and the fat man on the ground, and took a few steps forward to drag Uncle Zhu back.

Uncle Zhuzi's body was stiff and straight, and when Grandpa put him down, it was like a piece of wood, especially the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of urine made me and the fat man pinch our noses.

When Grandpa saw me and the fat man leaning around Uncle Zhuzi, he immediately pushed the two of us farther away: "What are you doing so close!"

We listened to Grandpa's words and immediately took a few steps back.

Grandpa saw us dodge, one hand held the back of Uncle Zhuzi's neck, and the other hand was rounded with a big mouth.

As soon as he heard the snapping sound, Grandpa swished back a few steps.

Uncle Zhu inhaled sharply, as if he was about to blow up his lungs, and then kicked on the ground with his hands and feet, as if he were convulsive.

No wonder Grandpa wants us to stay away.

After kicking a few times, Uncle Zhu calmed down, and only then did he spit out the sharp breath he had just taken.

At this time, the people in the village arrived, and the fat man and his mother just saw the snake skin hanging at the door, and cried out in their throats, hugging me and the fat man and saying pity.

But there was also a cry, it was Uncle Zhuzi's mother-in-law, hugging the pillar and crying.

Grandpa was about to close the door of Uncle Lai's house when he heard the cry and turned around and said, "It's okay, I'm just scared!"

Instead of being attracted by the crying, I wanted to see what was going on inside the door, but there was only a crack in it, and I couldn't see clearly.

Grandpa glanced down at me, just in time to see me peeking through the crack in the door.

I felt that my grandfather was looking at me, and I raised my head and looked at my grandfather, and my grandfather's eyes were a little disgusted, and I knew that I had done something to make him angry, and my grandfather was going to reprimand me.

But after a while, Grandpa suddenly laughed, stopped closing the door, and pushed it violently.

The door that was about to close opened.
