(193) The withered old woman raised a snake woman
The Fuyang area is damp, and it is not strange that there are snakes and insects, but it is strange why this golden python with the thickness of an arm comes from!
Watching the golden python spitting fiery red snake letter to herself, watching the golden python move its huge body to coil towards herself, Lin Mengyao's whole heart rose to her throat, and she was stunned that she even screamed, let alone ask Gu Beichen for help.
Stunned in place and didn't dare to move the slightest!
Finally, Gu Beichen discovered the abnormality, and when he turned around, the golden python had already wrapped around Lin Mengyao's legs, and was about to climb on her. Looking at Lin Mengyao again, her face was pale, her whole body was trembling, and she was frightened.
"Golden lady, come down quickly!" Gu Beichen hurriedly spoke, but it was obvious that he was calling the golden python.
The golden lady seemed to really understand Gu Beichen's words, and the fiery red letter licked Lin Mengyao's hand, and then her body loosened, released from her legs, and went to Gu Beichen's side.
As soon as she was safe, Lin Mengyao's legs went soft and slumped to the ground: on the line of life and death, she really thought that she had wasted God's favor and would fall into the belly of a snake!
Gu Beichen's eyes were quick, and he hugged Lin Mengyao horizontally: "Mengyao, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that the golden lady would be here!" ”
What Gu Beichen said is true, this golden lady should be in Tonglu, how did she come to Fuyang?
"It's scary, how do you recognize this beast?" Lin Mengyao finally came to her senses, trembling and drilling into Gu Beichen's arms, looking at the golden python with fiery red eyes in panic.
It was obviously not Gu Beichen who answered, and there was a sound of contempt from the depths of the barren grass.
"Brute? Hum. This beast is much better than man! cough cough cough ...... O human heart......"
In the panic, the voice grew closer. Lin Mengyao held her breath and concentrated, only feeling the hand around Gu Beichen's neck cold. When she looked up, she saw a tiny green snake wrapped around the back of her hand.
"Ahh
This time, Lin Mengyao screamed, and the deafening scream frightened the birds hiding in the grass to "flutter" their wings and flee one by one.
Lin Mengyao's screams didn't stop, and with a whistle, the green snake flew out and was wrapped around the wrist of the old man who appeared at some point. The reason why it is said to be an old man. It wasn't Lin Mengyao who saw her old face. In fact, the old man was wrapped in black clothes all over his body, and even wore a mask on his face, and the only thing that showed his age was the hands like the roots of a dead tree.
"Master......"
Gu Beichen opened his mouth, and a "master" surprised Lin Mengyao. The old man in front of him turned out to be Gu Beichen's master?
"Husband. This ......"
Lin Mengyao spoke quietly. Full of questions. Gu Beichen gave her a look in the face, suggesting that she was silent. Shut up obediently, Lin Mengyao's eyes flashed. Jing looked at a qiē.
"This is the guy you said yesterday?" The old man stepped forward, and by the sound of his voice, it was a woman. Through the mask, she stared at Lin Mengyao for a long time before saying, "Follow me!" ”
The person who was called a master by Gu Beichen poked his crutches, and his movements seemed to be slow, but every step was like stepping three feet away, and he threw the two of them out of the distance in a short time.
"Just follow the Golden Lady!"
The old man's voice came with the wind, and then he looked at the rickety old man, who had long since disappeared. And the one who led the way in front of Lin Mengyao was the golden lady who scared Lin Mengyao before.
Obviously, the golden lady is human, and every time she swims far away, she stops and waits for them.
"Husband, who is that man...... It's your teacher...... Master? ”
"Her name is Mrs. Temple, and she once saved my life." Gu Beichen felt Lin Mengyao's nervousness and fear, rubbed her hand into the palm of her hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, she is a kind-hearted person, just ...... Tempered a little weird......"
In fact, according to Gu Beichen, the temper of this temple lady is not strange. This temple lady is withdrawn, never interacts with outsiders, and likes to raise snakes. The golden lady who led the way in front, as well as the green spirit who had just been wrapped around Lin Mengyao's hands, were all raised by her for more than ten years.
"And she has other snakes?" Regarding what happened just now, Lin Mengyao still had lingering palpitations.
Seeing her like this, Gu Beichen was both pity and amusement, nodded the tip of her nose, and said, "I said that you have always been strong, but I rarely see you and something to fear." Don't worry, the master originally lived in Tonglu, and this time he only lived in Fuyang temporarily, and he would not bring all those snakes. ”
Hearing this, Lin Mengyao's heart was slightly relieved. But after thinking about it, I was stunned again: those! Don't you know two?!
The footsteps stagnated slightly, and the willow waist had already fallen into Gu Beichen's arms: "Don't worry, I'm here!" ”
With just such a sentence, Lin Mengyao's heart was really warm, and she followed Gu Beichen steadily.
The Golden Lady led the way, and after walking for about half a cup of tea, she finally saw a grass house under the dead tree at the end of the barren grass. From a distance, the grass hut is not large, and it is covered with heavy thatch, which gives people a sense of stuffiness even at the beginning of the transition of summer and autumn.
"Walking so slowly, isn't it as good as an old woman like me?!"
The dissatisfaction in Mrs. Miao's words was obvious, Lin Mengyao was slightly stunned, but Gu Beichen was commonplace, and pulled her straight to the grass house.
Entering the grass house, the temple lady was facing away from them, feeding the green spirit. didn't turn around, only said lightly: "Sit down for a while, don't worry." ”
Not in a hurry?
Lin Mengyao was surprised, Gu Beichen explained her doubts softly-it was Mrs. Miao who wanted to help her get rid of Gu!
Removing Gu is saving lives. Even so, Lin Mengyao also made up her mind and just waited to solve the dilemma in front of her.
After a long time, Mrs. Temple finally turned around. The green spirit was still wrapped around her hand, and her body was no longer as slender as before. Xu was eating, its belly was bulging, and the green snake skin was transparent, Lin Mengyao was almost worried about whether the belly, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, would break at any time.
"Don't worry, Lu Lingzi is just a small meal!" The lady of the temple seemed to know what Lin Mengyao was thinking, and snorted, but she couldn't hear the love.
Lin Mengyao laughed dryly, very embarrassed. The temple lady ignored her anymore, and only threw the green spirit into the air. Seeing that the green spirit was about to fall to the ground, the golden lady "swished" over and took it accurately - with her mouth! The golden lady actually swallowed the green spirit in one bite.
Dumbfounded, Lin Mengyao looked at Gu Beichen in confusion.
"Don't worry, the heart of a snake is always warmer than people's hearts!" The cold voice of the temple lady came, and before the words fell, the golden lady had already spit out the green spirit, and the two snakes, one big and one small, one gold and one green, were so frolicking: "People, sometimes they are not as good as animals!" ”
I don't know if this sigh is because of personal experience or cynicism, every word of Mrs. Temple seems to be full of dissatisfaction and disgust with the world.
Lin Mengyao thought about what might happen to Mrs. Miao, and her wrist tightened in a trance. At a glance, it was the withered hand of the temple lady who grabbed her wrist. This looks more real from a close look than from a distance, Lin Mengyao saw the scar on her hand, hideous and terrifying-imaginable, the original injury was only afraid that it penetrated the palm of her hand.
I couldn't help but feel a pity, sighing softly, but there was a tingling pain in my wrist. A cold voice came from the top of his head: "Instead of sympathizing with others, it is better to worry about yourself." (To be continued......)
