Out of Zhenjiang City to the north, after the Yujia Bridge, it is the Qingxi Bridge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Qingxi Bridge spans diagonally over the not very wide Qingxi, which has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and only a few dilapidated wooden planks are left dangling on the water.

The group came to the Qingxi Bridge, and before they reached the place, the man who led the group to see the excitement pointed to the bottom of the bridge and said, "Look, the snake is there!" ”

Everyone looked over, and sure enough, they saw a white snake molting under the simple bridge.

The front of the snake is obscured by the bridge deck, and only the back half can be seen, and its tail is slowly twitching forward.

Everyone was shocked, could it be that the snake has also become a spirit?

Relying on how bold the people were, everyone got off the bridge one after another, pushing and shoving under the bridge, scrambling to see the rarity.

This is a blue snake, the whole is cylindrical, dry and wrinkled, it looks like a complete python, huge and scary.

In particular, its tail, which is thicker than a human waist, is moving forward little by little.

It is said that animals can become essence after practicing for a long time, but this snake should not be considered an animal, right?

With this doubt, everyone followed the squirming snake's tail and walked forward, and finally figured out the reason at the bridge pier.

I saw a white-bearded old man squatting on the pier, his face was full of red light, and his two excessively long hanging eyebrows were as white as his beard.

The white-bearded old man was squatting on the ground with a sweat on his head and curling a snake, and his hand was already full of a large plate.

"Old Shen, what are you doing here?" Zhao Wu saw that it was Shen Lao, who opened the medical hall, so he asked suspiciously.

The old man who was busy rolling snakes was the doctor who had treated Li Mo before.

Hearing Zhao Wu ask him, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then replied, "Naturally, I am collecting medicinal herbs." "Materia Medica" contains, the snake metamorphoses into the liver and repels evil, which has the effect of dispelling wind, calming shock, retreating and detoxifying. It's hard to believe that there are no money for medicinal herbs here, so I have to put them all away. ”

Let's just say, a snake is just shedding, even if it is a python, it is impossible to crawl forward automatically!

Zhao Wu hugged his shoulders and said uninterestedly, "It's just a snake molt, how rare it can be, at most save a few dollars of silver." ”

Shen Lao carefully sorted out the snake molt in his hand, and then solemnly explained, "Ordinary snake molt is naturally worthless, this is different." It is not an ordinary python, and its bare waist must be the thickness of three adult men. You must know that such a big python is rare in the world, do you say it is worth it? ”

Zhao Wu's mind was on the case, and he didn't care about these things at all, hearing what Shen Lao said, he nodded casually, and turned to ask everyone, "Who just said that the vendor selling pork in the morning was from Dingjiaqiao?" ”

Zhao Wu doesn't care, it doesn't mean that Li Mo doesn't care either.

When Li Mo saw the unusually thick cyan snake in front of him, the first thing he thought of was the affectionate and righteous young girl in the white snake.

Could it be that the young girl was hungry when she was practicing, and then chewed someone casually?

No, although Li Mo has not seen the python eat with his own eyes, he has not watched "Animal World" less.

Thanks to Zhao Zhongxiang's affectionate science popularization, Li Mo has known that snakes are very greedy animals since he was a child.

They eat without wasting their whole food, and they don't spit out a single bite of meat in their mouths.

Moreover, even if it was eaten by the young girl, how could it be mixed into the butcher's meat?

Li Mozheng was puzzled, so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks, and from the onlookers, a man who was not amazing came out.

The man resignedly walked up to Zhao Wu, nodded and said, "Poor master, it's a small one." In the morning, the butcher was next to the small fat powder stall. Then he seemed to have said something to Xiao Kee, saying that he lived near Dingjiaqiao. ”

"Are you sure?" Zhao Wu was a little unconvinced, "Why didn't you say it just now, you have to wait until this time to talk about it?" What is the purpose? ”

The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched, seriously suspecting that Zhao Wu had paranoia about being killed. So many purposes, maybe people just didn't think of it just now, and now they suddenly think of it!

The man was scolded by Zhao Wu like this, and he couldn't answer, so he was so anxious that his face was red, and he finally squeezed out a sentence, "Bad master, the little one, the little one forgot, just remembered that he had said such a sentence, so he hurriedly told him." ”

Zhao Wu reluctantly accepted this statement, so he pushed the boat down the river and said, "Since he once said so, and we are now near Dingjia Bridge, we will simply investigate carefully to see if there is really such a person?" You were close to his butcher's stall at the time, tell me carefully, what was he like? ”

The man thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "Poor master, that person is about thirty years old, his complexion is a little rough, and his appearance is a little unstable. The only conspicuous thing is that he has a lame leg, which is particularly noticeable when he walks. ”

"It's simple, let's just focus on checking whether there is a black-faced butcher who is thirty years old and lame at Dingjiaqiao." Zhao Wu briefly summed up, and beckoned Li Mo to say, "Let's go!" ”

Li Mo's mind was still guessing, was the snake left by the young girl? When I heard that I was going to go door-to-door to investigate, I suddenly felt that both legs were sore.

"Wu'er, can we have a discussion?" Li Mo smiled shyly, and he didn't want to go at all.

"No"! Zhao Wutou walked forward without looking back, "We are on an errand now, not seeking to make great contributions, but seeking no great fault." Isn't it just a door-to-door interrogation? What's so hard, let's go! ”

Seeing that he couldn't excuse himself, Li Mo had no choice but to sigh leisurely and follow Zhao Wu in the direction of Dingjia Bridge.

The people who came with them saw that there was no excitement to see, so they simply surrounded Old Doctor Shen and exchanged ears.

"Now Shen Lao can make a fortune, I heard that a snake that can grow into such a thick snake is not a snake for a long time!"

"What else could it be if it wasn't a snake?"

"Nonsense, of course it's a youkai! Otherwise, why do you think snakes can be so powerful and so huge! ”

"Come on, you, it's a shame that the old man is still roaring so that you don't spread rumors or believe rumors! I think you want to go to prison for free! ”

"Whew! Let's go, I'm too lazy to talk to you elm heads and waste time! ”

The crowd of onlookers scattered one after another, talking about the oversized snake they saw today.

And Shen Lao, who opened the medical hall, had already put the snake into the back basket behind him, and followed the crowd back towards Zhenjiang City.

Here, Li Mo and Zhao Wu's visit also quickly became eyebrow-raising, and they were so excited that they came to the door of the most dilapidated family in Dingjiaqiao.

The family lived in two thatched houses, the walls of which could be crossed by a single foot, and the courtyard was littered with dead branches and leaves, with the word dilapidated written everywhere.
