CHAPTER XVI
Grandma seemed to remember something, and I tried to hold her, but she ran away.
I rolled over and got out of bed, trying to catch up, but I felt dizzy when I moved, but fortunately I held on to the door and didn't fall.
It may be that I have been lying down for a long time, and I am too anxious all of a sudden.
"The snake woman is out of the coffin...... Revenge is coming back to Dragon Village! Qin Mipo carried the garbage can, pulled a piece of clothing, threw it in, and burned it in the corridor of the hospital.
As soon as the black smoke rose, those dead snakes seemed to want to crawl outward.
Mo Xiu snorted coldly, and these silk snakes were lying in the fire and were slowly burned into charcoal.
The black smoke attracted the nurses, and Qin Mipo coughed and almost died.
The nurse brought water to extinguish the still burning garbage can, and explained that we should not burn things indiscriminately, so she went back to work.
The hospital in the town is not very staffed, there are many and miscellaneous patients, and they are also very busy.
"What is a snake woman?" I closed the door and looked at Qin Mipo: "Why is grandma so anxious?" ”
"I don't know, ask the snake king?" Qin Mipo took out another needle and sewed that thing seriously, it looked like a pillowcase or something, but it was very plain.
I had to look down at the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist, Mo Xiu and Liu Longting seemed to have something to do with the snake coffin.
Mo Xiu came out directly this time, sat on the edge of the hospital bed, looked at me and said, "The snake woman is probably a kind of coffin keeper, just like those snakes that were released from the snake coffin." I don't know what the snake coffin is, Liu Longting is actually just a coffin snake used by the Long family to bury the daughter of the Long family. ”
"It was not Liu Longting who really led the snake coffin, but the daughter of the Long family." Mo Xiu said this.
looked at me with some concern: "Since the snake coffin refused Long Xia to enter the coffin and turned her into a snake woman, the snake coffin will still chase you, not to mention Liu Longting, you just need to be careful, don't worry about those people back to Long Village." ”
"Since there is a dragon girl leading the snake coffin, why do you want to let the snake Liu Longting in?" I feel that this is a bit beyond imagination, obviously different from what Uncle Cousin said?
"The snake is in the coffin, and the descendants are prosperous. There are snakes from generation to generation, and they are born from generation to generation. Qin Mipo sneered and turned her head to look at me: "Didn't you find anything wrong with your village?" ”
"What's wrong?" I couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"Most of the people in Huilong Village are developing outside, and they are either strong or prosperous. But in every family, if there is no old man left, the older generation will be asked to come back to guard the village. Qin Mipo looked at me.
He said in a deep voice: "This is called borrowing the power of people, you are borrowing the power of the snake coffin, and you are also sending a dragon family girl to the snake coffin every eighteen years." ”
I listened to the cold sweat and looked at Qin Mipo: "Then what will happen if you don't bury the daughter of the Long family?" ”
"How do I know?" Qin Mipo blinked, and looked at Mo Xiu with mockery: "Snake Monarch, can you tell me?" ”
"If I'm guessing correctly, the snake coffin is already taking revenge. Your cousin has cancer, and your family members who are developing outside, I'm afraid something is wrong. Qin Mipo seems to be very determined.
sneered: "People, they are all unprofitable, once it doesn't go well, they will find problems from what ancestral grave and fortune, and never think about whether they are doing the right thing." If you lose your conscience, how can you have good luck. ”
"What will happen to the snake woman when she comes out of the coffin?" When I think of my grandmother who returned to the village, I still don't feel at ease.
Qin Mipo is not from Huilong Village, so I don't know what will happen to the snake woman.
I turned my head to look at Mo Xiu, who shook his head as well.
Thinking of Long Xia's weird appearance, as well as the anger that my dad got on the night he left, there must be a lot of pressure on my dad in the village.
I thought about it, but I was still not at ease, so I called my grandmother.
"Long Ling, your seventh uncle just bought the things for the funeral, I'll take his car back, you are in the hospital, and if you are hungry, let Qin Mipo help you order takeout." Grandma said neatly over there.
I can't even match who my seventh uncle is, but why did I run into it when I got out of the hospital?
But he hurriedly said to his grandmother: "I'm in so much pain, come back quickly." ”
Grandma wanted to say something, but it seemed to be "hmm".
Then a deep voice came: "Long Ling, I am your seventh uncle." ”
"Don't remember, do you? It's the one that your father introduced and opened a travel company during the Chinese New Year. Your father also said that when you finish the college entrance examination, you will ask me to sign up for a group and return the one you travel with your family. The man's voice was hearty.
But his voice was heavy: "Today's funeral in the village, your parents are not there, you should also come back to show filial piety." ”
I clutched my phone: "Where's my grandma?" ”
"Oh, second aunt, it's going to be fine. After all, your cousin only asked a few aunts from the same village to chat with her that night. I just used some medicine this time to stun her. Uncle Qitang's voice was cold.
He said in a deep voice: "But this time there was a snake plague in the village, and several people died, your grandmother is so old, she fell into the water, or was bitten to death by a snake, or she couldn't stand the stimulation and committed suicide or something, so she went with her, we don't know." ”
I listened to the anger in my heart: "Long Xia is back, you should have seen it." She became a snake woman, and my grandmother went back to warn you that something was going to happen in your village. ”
Uncle Qitang chuckled: "Long Xia fell off the snake coffin, how could she come back." What is the snake woman afraid of, we are not afraid of the snake coffin. If you don't come back, anyway, there will be several coffins for today's funeral, and who knows which coffin has multiple corpses. ”
With that, he hung up the phone.
I listened to the sound of "beep" on the other end, and when I hit again, it was already turned off.
"The people of the entire Huilong Village are taking advantage of the snake coffin, they think that the reason why they can make a fortune outside is because of the snake coffin." Qin Mipo was still sewing something, and smoothed the needle in her hair.
Mo Xiu also sneered: "You weren't buried eighteen years ago, but they divided the gold and silver treasures in that coffin, so forget it." There must be a lot of people who are having a bad time now, and they must think that the reason why you didn't bury yourself in the snake coffin. ”
"It just so happens that you are eighteen years old this year, and it is the second time you buried the snake coffin, plus your cousin's head, and you caused these things, I will definitely force you to go back." Mo Xiu's voice slowly became cold.
I also felt cold in my heart and wanted to call my parents, but they were obviously running away, and I couldn't get through.
had to change her shoes and prepare to go back to the village, Qin Mipo sighed deeply: "Just save your grandmother, don't think about saving the people in the village." ”
She handed me the sewn cloth bag: "Rice." ”
Only then did I realize that it was a cloth jacket, hanging around my neck, with pockets at both ends, and it was about to hang down on my chest, and it was good to grab rice from inside.
Qin Mipo took out a bag of rice from the bedside table again: "I asked someone to bring it from my house, mixed with incense ash." ”
I put the rice in the cloth and looked at Qin Mipo, wanting to say something, but swallowed it again.
"I am not welcome in Huilong Village, and I don't want to save those who have lost their conscience." Qin Mipo thought about it, but still got out of bed: "But I can ask someone to pick you up outside the village." ”
I filled the cloth with rice, looked at her and said, "Is there anything else to prevent snakes?" ”
"No matter how poisonous the snake is, it can't poison people's hearts? There is a snake king, and you have to guard against not snakes, but people. Qin Mipo snorted coldly and looked at Mo Xiu: "The Snake Monarch has a deep understanding of this, right?" ”
Mo Xiu's eyes sank, he just looked at me and said, "You can't live if you do your own evil, you can only save them once, not the second time." It is impossible to keep back Dragon Village and prosper forever! ”
Mo Xiu's meaning was very clear, and he wouldn't help anymore.
I looked at him and thought of what Liu Longting had mentioned about Mo Xiu's death.
and the flashing image when Moxiu pulled me back to save the villagers.
Maybe Mo Xiu's death last time was related to the people who rescued the Dragon Village.
I filled both ends of my blanket with rice, left the hospital, and prepared to take a taxi back.
As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, a black car stopped beside me, and the driver was a familiar one, who had buried dead pigs at my house and also been to Qin Mipo's house.
This was the same man who was at the grave and told me to go back and see my uncle.
He pushed the car door open, looked at me with a calm face, and looked at me with a heavy face: "Long Ling, get in the car." ”
I didn't expect the village to think quite well, and sent a car to wait for me here, even if my grandmother didn't want to go back to the village, I would find a way to tie my grandmother.
got into the car, and the man drove the car: "Lao Qi wants to arrange for someone to wait for you at the gate of the hospital, and I will come." ”
I don't have a good impression of the people in Huilong Village now, but I just said "um".
The man drove the car and said with a little embarrassment: "You go back to the village this time, they ......"
"You're going to bury me again." I already know about it, so I don't have much to say.
The people of the village, they will not remember, I ran away that night, but I went back to save them because I heard them screaming.
All they thought was that I should have been buried in the snake coffin in exchange for their wealth and strength, and they would be distributed from generation to generation!
The driver looked at me, his face flashed with shame, but he only drove silently, after all, he was also from Huilong Village......
I was thinking about how I would escape if I found my grandmother, and how I would stop all the people in the village.
Because of the funeral, Niu Er was helping inside, and he didn't stay at the entrance of the village, so the car drove directly in.
When the car arrived at the village road, I saw that all the white flags were hung all the way, and a coffin was parked every other section.
It is not the rooster that can press the coffin, but the dead snakes, hanging on the coffin, like a colorful coffin blanket.
