Chapter V: Powerful Figures
When Aunt Qin saw Mo Xiu, she seemed to be scared and respectful, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, but she didn't even dare to move.
Mo Xiu's voice was deep: "This monarch has sheltered the Qin family for many years, and this is how you disregarded the love of the year?" ”
"Don't dare! Can't! Aunt Qin's voice trembled.
"Do your part." Mo Xiu let out another deep sigh, and then turned into a black snake and wrapped around my wrist.
When Mo Xiu was gone, Aunt Qin got up, her green cloth coat seemed to be soaked, and she didn't seem to be able to stand steadily holding on to the door, but she just looked at me with heavy eyes.
Her eyes were as if they were going to see through people, staring straight at me, and I was panicked when I saw it.
Grandma tugged at me and motioned for me to come forward.
"No need, you go back and get ready, and go find the snake coffin tomorrow." Aunt Qin seemed to have collapsed, and leaned on the door and said, "Long Ling should be careful on the way back, hold the big white goose and don't let go." ”
The big white goose was pricked in both feet, and it was put down at this point.
I also knew that the matter was serious, and I hurriedly hugged it.
"Niu Er, the village keeper in your village, you have to provide for it well, it's best to stay at your house tonight to guard the door, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to spend tonight." Aunt Qin stared at the black snake jade bracelet in my hand and said coldly, "Even if there is the protection of the snake king, I can't fight that corpse snake." ”
Her voice was faint, and I felt a chill in my heart when I heard it.
Grandma heard that she promised to help find the snake coffin, and hurriedly pulled me back.
On the way, I said: "This Qin Mi Po, she only came out to ask Mi after her aunt died, but her temper is too big and she always drives people away." So the reputation is not very good, and now there are not many people who know to ask for rice, and now I know that she is less afraid. ”
I really admired the strength of her pulling the old woman out of the door.
Now there are a lot of motorcycles in the village, and my grandmother and I took another motorcycle home.
On the way, my grandmother told me that every village has a village keeper, who is a person who created evil in the previous life, and realized before death, and in the next life, he wishes that the three souls will go to one, and the seven spirits will go to two, and the town guards one side to repay the debts of the previous life.
This kind of person can prevent disasters for the village, but because the three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, he looks crazy, but he is actually kind in his heart.
The village keeper of our village is Niu Er.
Grandma remembered Aunt Qin's words, and stopped at the entrance of the village, coaxed Niu Er to my house for dinner, and said that she would let him live in my house.
"Don't go, you have a snake in your house." Niu Er sat under the stone tablet that I knocked down, shook his head and muttered, "There are so many snakes in your house, I won't go." ”
"There are no snakes." Grandma was in a hurry to explain.
I looked at Niu Er, thought of the little snake in the eggs, and the matter of the Chen family, and pulled grandma: "Forget it." ”
"Don't make a fuss." Grandma still has to pull Niu Er.
I hurriedly grabbed my grandmother: "Forget it, if there is anything, let's go by ourselves and pull him to do something." ”
The two cows are good, usually the village can help the red and white ceremonies, the village people always bully him, the dirty work is done for him, when eating, but just pour some leftovers or something for him to eat, he does not pick.
Aunt Qin said that she asked Niu Er to show us the night guard, and the things in Chen's family let me know that in fact, she was pulling Niu Er to block the disaster and send him to death.
"Dragon Spirit, don't pull me?" Grandma still had to pull Niu Er, coaxing him and said, "I'll kill a chicken for you to eat, a big fat rooster, and give you the whole one." I will also give you drinks, beer, liquor, whatever you want. ”
"Grandma." When I saw that my grandmother was like a child, I exclaimed, "Let's not do this!" ”
I pushed Niu Er away: "I have a snake at home, and I also have a snake on my body, don't come to my house, you know!" Get lost! ”
Niu Er looked at me, smiled, stretched out his dirty hand, and pointed at my grandmother: "Your granddaughter is really interesting, interesting." ”
Grandma's cloudy eyes sparkled with water, stared at me, and with a flick of her hand, she walked home.
Niu Er was still smiling, looked at me and said, "Interesting, interesting." ”
I looked at him, took out all the cash from my school bag, stuffed it in his hand, and said viciously to him: "Dare to go to my house and beat you, you know!" ”
Niu Er took the money, laughed and ran towards the commissary at the head of the village.
I hugged the big white goose and hurriedly caught up with my grandmother.
She looked at me with a red nose and a sparkle in her eyes: "Who am I for?" I'm black-hearted, but who am I for? You let me watch you die? I can't give up that heart! ”
"Grandma." I tried to pull her, but my grandmother pushed me away and strode towards the house.
I hugged the big white goose and hurriedly followed.
Before I got home, my neighbor Aunt Liu hurriedly greeted her: "Grandma Long, I'm looking for you, your chickens and ducks are all dead, go back and have a look." It's evil, and there are a lot of snakes in your house. It can't be that your snake wine dragon came back to collect the snake and didn't close the cage. ”
"The last time I saw so many snakes, I gave birth to your dragon spirit!" Aunt Liu said that she was in a hurry, and when she saw me after speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and said curtly: "Long Ling, are you back?" ”
Grandma sniffed, nodded at Aunt Liu, and ran briskly towards the house.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu." I hurried to catch up.
As soon as he ran two steps, he heard Aunt Liu snorting heavily behind him, and said in a low voice: "No wonder there are so many snakes, the snake girl is back." Phew! ”
As soon as I turned around, she smiled awkwardly at me.
When I got home, I saw that the chicken coop in the yard was full of dead chickens, and all kinds of colorful snakes were crawling among the dead chickens.
Grandma trembled with anger, pulled the big white goose in my arms and threw it into the yard.
"I'm not here, it's coming for revenge." Mo Xiu's voice rang in my ears.
With the hissing sound of the black snake jade bracelet on the wrist, all the snakes immediately ran away.
The big white goose still spread its wings and ran after the snake.
Grandma trembled, looked at the chicken pen, and then went to the back pond to see the ducks in the bamboo fence, and the pigsty, and the rabbit nest.
Without exception, all of them were bitten to death by snakes.
Grandma seemed to be more rickety, turned her head to look at me, and then silently took the shovel and shoveled the dead chickens and ducks one by one to the backyard.
I was busy with a hoe, digging a hole, and watching my grandmother's dead chickens and ducks shovel here, I felt very uncomfortable.
I wanted to talk to her, but she pursed her lips, obviously angry.
When the dead chickens and ducks were buried, the dead rabbits were buried, and there were two dead pigs in the pigsty, and my grandmother and I couldn't pull them, she called my cousin and asked him to come and help.
"Grandma." I filled in the soil to comfort my grandmother.
She hugged me and cried loudly: "Long Ling, grandma is black-hearted, and she wants to pull Niu Er to prevent disasters and disasters for you." But if grandma can block it for you, grandma is willing. ”
"My dragon spirit, why did it fall on you?" Grandma hugged me tightly, tears falling down, and the emotions of the tense day finally vented.
I hugged my grandmother: "It's okay, isn't there Mo Xiu, he will protect me." ”
The black snake jade bracelet on his wrist moved when he heard this, and Mo Xiu's low laughter seemed to come from his ears.
When my cousin came, he was very careful, and called several members of my family, all of whom smelled of wine, and sprinkled sulfur on my house before I even entered the door.
My grandmother led them to the pigsty to haul the pigs, but when they came to the backyard and saw me digging a pit, their faces were not very good.
Uncle Cousin asked a few of his family members to fill in the pit and said to me, "Long Ling, come out for a while." ”
Grandma is reluctant to look at the two pigs, these pigs are raised before the killing of the New Year pigs, and now it is almost half a year younger, a hundred pounds.
died a miserable death, and his stomach was bitten through by a snake.
My cousin took advantage of my grandmother's distraction and took me to the front yard: "You have also seen the affairs of your family, and when you return to the village, there are so many snakes, and you know it in your heart." While it's still dark, hurry up and don't stay in the village. ”
I looked at my cousin in surprise, and he lit a cigarette with a heavy face: "This is not what I mean alone, the few families who came to help are all meant by this." ”
"You only know that when you were born, the snakes by the roadside worshipped you. But you don't know, that year the village was plagued by snakes, which killed many chickens and ducks, and even piglets. Uncle Cousin puffed out the smoke ring and said to me in a deep voice, "You tell your grandmother, I'll take you out of the village on a motorcycle, okay." ”
