Chapter 62: The Snake

"Sister Wu, look at this piece of wood. www.biquge.info"I handed the wood in my hand to Wu Xin.

"What happened to this piece of wood?" Wu Xin looked at it again and again for a long time, and couldn't see the reason, and asked with some doubts.

I took this piece of wood and approached Wu Xin's side and said to Wu Xin: "Look, there is a piece of red paint on it, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to see it, what kind of wood will have red paint, do you know?" I asked.

"Furniture...," Wu Xin said uncertainly.

"That's right, you guessed right." I really admire that Wu Xin can still guess the furniture in this environment.

"Actually, there is another thing that is also painted red." I pursed the corners of my lips and said to Wu Xin.

"The coffin, the coffin is also painted red, and you found these pieces of wood on the island, which means that there must be a coffin on this island." I say with absolute certainty.

"So what." Wu Xin couldn't react.

"Don't you intuitively think that this tomb doesn't look like it was from the Qing Dynasty, and when you find the coffin and look at the bones and burial goods inside, don't you know, maybe you can find clues about the settlement of the Ganghua Village incident." I said.

"Why are you still sitting? Let's go, go for clues. Wu Xin said anxiously.

I said calmly: "What's the hurry, there is no one else here except us, the clues are there and they won't run, let's get the clothes done first and look for them." ”

In order to be able to dry my clothes quickly, I roasted my coat directly on the fire as meat, and as for my pants and shoes, I had to try to get as close to the fire as possible.

After more than an hour of high temperature torture, until I felt that my underwear was extremely dry, I put on my shoes and jacket and said, "Sister Wu, let's go." ”

During this hour, we drank a bottle of water, each ate a bag of compressed biscuits, and even so, I could still feel like my belly was burning, and the more I ate, the hungrier I became.

"Where did you find those woods?" I asked Wu Xin.

"There are many of these logs in the groves ahead." Wu Xin said, pointing to the lush grove in front of him.

"I don't know what's in the woods." I shook my head and touched my arm, there was an extremely deep wound scratched by the merman in that place, I just bandaged it myself and didn't let Wu Xin know.

The trees in the woods were another kind I didn't know, so I turned my head to look at Wu Xin, but Wu Xin also shook his head at me and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know this kind of tree either." Wu Xin carefully distinguished the leaves, but in the end he shook his head, saying that he had never seen this kind of tree at all.

When I first entered the grove, it was quite spacious, and the more I walked in, the narrower it became, the trees were all close to each other, and there was only a little gap in the middle, and Wu Xin's size could barely get out of that gap, let alone me, a big man. I couldn't help complaining: "I don't know how these ancestors planted trees, and there is no one left in the middle to walk." ”

Wu Xin complained: "When people planted trees, they didn't think that there would be people here. ”

"Aren't the roots of these trees so close to the dirt that they are huddled together, so that these trees can still survive?" I looked at the trees and asked, incredulously.

"Then who knows, looking at the size of these trees, they must have lived for hundreds of years." Wu Xin said.

"Something." I suddenly felt some itching in my injured arm, I thought it was the wound itself, but when I turned my head, a black shadow disappeared from my arm in an instant.

"Echo, what are these things?" Wu Xin shouted a little hurriedly.

At this moment, Wu Xin didn't know when there were suddenly many more vines and other things on his body, and those vines fell on Wu Xin's body from above, and Wu Xin was startled.

"Where did the rattan come from?" I came to Wu Xin's side and took the rattan off her body.

"Maybe these trees grow, after all, we haven't seen this kind of tree, and it is possible for him to grow into anything." Wu Xin said to himself while brushing away the rattan on his body.

As soon as Wu Xin finished speaking, the rattan that fell off was actually raised anew, put it on Wu Xin's arm, and rolled it up on Wu Xin's arm.

I hurriedly grabbed the rattan and tore it off with all my might, and suddenly, blood flowed from the place where the rattan was broken.

Wu Xin was startled, hurriedly shook off the remaining rattan on his arm, and ran to the side, I looked at the broken rattan in my hand with some hesitation and looked at it carefully, then ran to Wu Xin's side in horror and said, "Sister Wu, this is not a rattan, you see." ”

Wu Xin took the rattan in my hand, this rattan was actually cold in my hand, there was no feeling of wood, but it was a little slippery and greasy, like a snake.

When Wu Xin saw the protruding triangular head at the end and a pair of dead eyes, he threw the rattan in his hand in surprise and shouted, "This is not a rattan, it's a snake." ”

"That's right, it's a snake, withered yellow, almost exactly like rattan, and in this environment, you can't tell any difference from rattan if you don't look closely." I said solemnly.

"It's Teng Snake," Wu Xin said suddenly.

"This is a snake that lived in ancient times, Teng Snake, how can there be Teng Snake here." Wu Xin seemed to be muttering to herself, as if she was asking me.

"First the merman, and now the Teng snake, this ancient tomb is getting more and more fun." I thought Wu Xin would be scared, scared, but she suddenly said such a sentence and scared me.

"Echo, go get the snakehead." Wu Xin ordered.

"Damn," I grumbled, but my body was already heading there. Picking up the dead snake head thrown on the ground, Wu Xin said no, so he let the snake head in my hand, and then approached the snake head and observed it carefully.

"How venomous is this snake?" I looked at the snake's head like an equilateral triangle, so I thought it might be poisonous.

Wu Xin said lightly: "Teng snake is not poisonous, he is like a python, he kills prey by wringing." ”

"Twisting? That's it? I was surprised.

Wu Xin looked at me seriously and said, "You are wrong, do you know why I was so surprised and scared just now?" Because it is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that the Teng snake is hundreds of zhang long and can swallow mountains and seas. When he was in trouble with all beings, he was discovered by the god of war Xingtian, and he fought with Teng Snake for three days and three nights, and finally surrendered Teng Snake when he was seriously injured. So guess why the Teng snake in our hands is so small? Wu Xin asked rhetorically.

"Probably... Is this newborn? I hesitated.

"That's right, these Teng snakes should have just been born, that is, on this small island, there is an adult Teng snake who doesn't know where to look at us." Wu Xin said.

I subconsciously turned my head and saw two large lanterns waving in the air, the front of the large lanterns from time to time swallowed fork-shaped fleshy strips, and I also felt a gust of wind blowing on us from time to time, as if someone was breathing.

I wiped the non-existent sweat on my forehead, looked at Wu Xin, who was seriously studying the snake's head at the moment, and said tremblingly: "I think... I see it. ”
