Chapter 3: The Snake Spirit

Gengli Village is a small remote village, surrounded by flat land, and some animals pass by from time to time, so that the villagers can satisfy their hunger.

There are more than a dozen fruit trees at the back of the village, and when the fruiting season comes, the trees are basically full of people.

In this small village, there are twenty or thirty families, and the people here are all surnamed Li, so it is not surprising that the village name has a Li character.

The people of the village depend on farming for their livelihood.

Whenever there is a surplus of crops, they will be saved, and after accumulating to a certain amount, they will pick a good day, take the crops to a farther town to change some money and goods, and then use the changed money and goods to buy some livelihood supplies and buy some food to improve their lives, and life is quite leisurely.

On this day, the sun was scorching, there was a slight wind, and the wind blowing was dry, and the air was a little damp.

In the field, a hairy little girl, with two pigtails, her ruddy little face was covered with mud, and she looked unconvinced. Behind her was an old ox, which was very funny.

On the other side is an old man with a hat, lying on his side under a big tree to cool off, drinking a cup of tea made from unknown plants.

He muttered: "Little Peach, ploughing is not like this." You are a poor barbarian, and our family still has at least a little bit of family background.

This old cow is not easy, he has worked in this field since he was a child, and even today, Xiao Tao, it is not an exaggeration for you to call it Grandpa Niu. ”

The little girl ignored the old man's words and continued to work hard.

The old scalper turned his head to look at the old man, blinked, and went back to work.

The old man took a sip of tea, nodded at the old scalper, and said proudly: "You see what I said is right, even your grandfather Niu agrees with what I said, Xiao Tao, you ...... Run!"

As soon as the old man's words fell, suddenly a black mist struck, involving the little girl and the old scalper.

After a while, half of the cow's body was spit out from the black mist, and when the black mist dissipated, it was clear to see its true face.

This is a big black snake that has become a fine essence, as thick as an old tree, less than thirty meters long, with translucent black scale armor, and a mouth with a core, "This cow is too old, or this little girl's meat is good, I haven't eaten such tender meat for a long time." ”

The old man glared at the black snake spirit, clenched his hands into fists, his whole body trembled, and his lips trembled, "It's still ... Give me back my little peach..."

The black snake spirit smiled, looked at the old man with disdain, and said, "It turns out that there is another one here, I will send you to be her companion." With that, he opened his mouth and swallowed it at the old man.

......

Wu Xiaoxi followed Hongxuan to Gengli Village, and the two found that the village was in chaos, the house that caught fire had been extinguished, and there were destroyed houses everywhere.

The villagers crouched in front of their houses, their faces filled with fear and grief.

Hongxuan walked up to a middle-aged woman who was distracted, squatted down and asked, "Aunt Li, what's wrong with the village? I went to change the crops, and I only left for three days, how did it become like this?"

When Aunt Li heard Hongxuan's voice, she seemed to come back to her senses, and looking at Hongxuan was more like seeing a life-saving straw.

Grabbed Hongxuan's arm tightly with both hands, and said eagerly: "Xuanxuan, you're back." You're back just in time! Please save Aunt Li. ”

"Aunt Li, stand up first and say. Hongxuan slowly helped Aunt Li up and continued to ask, "What happened?"

Aunt Li looked at Wu Xiaoxi, who was standing next to her, and said pitifully: "Xuanxuan, Aunt Li has been okay to you since you were a child?

Xuanxuan, don't you know, the day after you left, a big black snake came to the village, killed many people, and swallowed it raw, that scene was so bloody that I didn't dare to remember Aunt Li.

The big black snake now lives in the village chief's house, and he says that he will leave as long as he eats the child that satisfies him.

Xuanxuan, you have a kind heart. Just Aunt Li begging you, you take the initiative to give the big black snake to eat, my second cow is still young.

You were born with a different pupil, and maybe you are the satisfied child in the mouth of the black snake. ”

After listening to Aunt Li's words, Hongxuan looked shocked, her little hands trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Aunt Li..."

Without waiting for Hongxuan to finish speaking, Wu Xiaoxi clenched his fists and said, "This aunt, what you said is still what people say?" Your son is a human being, you are a human being, so Hong Xuan is not a human being?"

Aunt Li was told this by Wu Xiaoxi, and unconsciously lowered her tone a little and hummed: "Alien boy, no matter what your business, where is cool, where to stay." ”

Wu Xiaoxi ignored this inhumane middle-aged woman, Hongxuan's clear and bright eyes became dim at this time, her eyes were full of uneasiness and helplessness, she bit her cherry-like mouth, and her whole body trembled slightly.

In fact, she is not afraid of the black snake spirit, but she just thinks that at this time, can everyone think of a way to deal with it together.

But she didn't expect Aunt Li's words to shock and frighten her.

Because she was an orphan, she was picked up and adopted by the village chief. The village chief has been very good to Hongxuan since she was a child and treats her as his own, although the village is surnamed Li and there are some xenophobies.

In the beginning, the people in the village would crowd out Hongxuan because Hongxuan had a pair of red pupils. Therefore, the children in the village especially like to bully her, treating her as an alternative, and the adults will not give her a good look.

She didn't know how many times she cried silently for these things, but fortunately, the village chief comforted her every time.

As time passed, Hongxuan also grew up, and after getting along with the people in the village for a long time, everyone slowly accepted this girl with different pupils.

People think that she is actually the same except for a pair of red pupils. This girl is kind-hearted, industrious, and beautiful, and pleasing to people, and she really can't fault it.

Hongxuan only liked the village chief's grandfather alone at first, because only the village chief's grandfather was really good to her. But then she also slowly liked everything here, everyone here, because this is the home of the village chief's grandfather, and it is also her home.

But today, Aunt Li's words were like a sharp needle, piercing Hongxuan's weak heart.

Hongxuan felt a little disappointed, but then remembered that the village chief's grandfather was kind to her, in order to repay her grandfather's nurturing kindness, protect his home, and let the black snake spirit eat it, she has no regrets.

Wu Xiaoxi looked at this poor girl, and was really afraid that her head would be hot and she agreed to the middle-aged woman's unreasonable request, after all, Wu Xiaoxi always thought that women were the stupidest creatures in the world.

Seeing that Hongxuan hadn't spoken for a long time, afraid that she would think about it, Wu Xiaoxi asked worriedly, "You don't really want to feed the black snake, do you?"

At this time, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen through everything, and nodded at Wu Xiaoxi. whispered to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, I promise you." ”

Wu Xiaoxi showed a stunned expression, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and said secretly.

The people in this village are really not human, they are crazy, and they have problems with their heads. You said that this aunt is like this, and I still believe that this girl is like this. Wu Xiaoxi couldn't figure it out, fished out his head, and said coldly,

"Want to feed the black snake, let the black snake ask about this young man's sword first!"

"Women are the stupidest creatures in the world!"
