Chapter 5: The Blessing of the Spirit Snake

The summer nights are always short, and it doesn't take long for the day to slowly brighten. When Xuanmeng woke up, he saw that the trees in the forest were clearly recognizable, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he called Kexin. I screamed a few times, but I saw that she was confused and didn't get up. Try it with your hands, and your forehead is even hotter than yesterday.

Zhang Xuanmeng knew that she was not lightly ill, supported the ground with her hands, and was about to get up, when she suddenly felt that her hands were cold, slippery and greasy, and she was shocked, and she withdrew her hand and looked back, only to see a big snake coiled beside her, with a flat head and a triangle, and a red tongue in her mouth, looking at him.

Zhang Xuanmeng has always grown up in the mountains, and he knew that this was a strange and poisonous cobra at a glance, so he was so frightened that he couldn't move, staring at it, just hoping that it would go away. This snake is extremely venomous, and when it is bitten, it kills immediately.

Zhang Xuanmeng looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help praying in his heart: "Brother Snake, Uncle Snake, Grandpa Snake, hurry up." No, I call you Grandpa Snake, Ancestor of Snakes. I won't mess with you, and you won't mess with me, I just ask you to live a long life, have many children and grandchildren, and let us go. As long as you go, I will incense you every day. Sure enough, the serpent looked at him for a moment, then nodded at him slightly, stretched out slowly, slid past him, and snaked away in the direction of the grass.

It wasn't until the big snake walked away that Zhang Xuanmeng was stunned for a long time before he woke up Zhu Kexin. After Zhu Kexin woke up, he suddenly pointed behind Zhang Xuanmeng and shouted, Zhang Xuanmeng was shocked, and when he looked back, there were two venomous snakes with spotted bodies lying on the ground behind him, their bodies were stiff, and there were two deep tooth marks on the snake's head.

Looking closely at the tooth marks and snake bites, Zhang Xuanmeng suddenly remembered the big snake that had just left, and it seemed that it saved the lives of the two of them. Could it be that the great snake stayed by their side all night and watched over them? Could it be that there really be a miracle when they are reborn in this life? Or is it true that they are some supreme Taoist body with the favor of the heavens? Could it be that what the newly recognized master in the previous life said is true?

Zhu Kexin was very sick, Zhang Xuanmeng carried her on his back and staggered forward. This hill is very large, and the trees are dense, and it took nearly two hours to walk out of the woods. When I went up to the slope tomb, I saw a family in front of me, and not far away, there was a village. Zhang Xuanmeng didn't care much, and went straight to the house with Zhu Kexin on his back.

It turned out that this family was a hunter, only the father-in-law and mother-in-law were at home, and the son and daughter-in-law went out to work. They were startled when they saw two muddy children with muddy faces and torn clothes breaking in. After asking the reason, it turned out to be two brothers and sisters, who got lost by relatives, and their sister was sick again.

The mountain family was kind-hearted, and when they saw that the child was pitiful, they didn't ask carefully and took out the food. The father-in-law reached out and tried Kexin's forehead, took a warm towel and put it on it, and fed some yams.

After eating in a hurry, the two kowtowed to their parents-in-law twice, asked for some dry food to carry, and took out a small golden bean from their arms and handed it to them.

The two of them descended from the mausoleum and followed a path to the southwest. After walking more than ten miles and coming to a town, Zhang Xuanmeng went to a silver shop, exchanged some broken silver with gold pages, and hired an ox cart. When people saw that he was a little child, dressed in tatters, and carrying a gold page, they couldn't help but pay more attention, and of course, he also made more money in business.

Zhang Xuanmeng and Zhu Kexin finally got rid of the pain of sibling fatigue, and calmly lay in the ox cart, listening to the wheels rolling forward slowly.

In the evening, I saw a market town in the distance ahead, and Xuanmeng said to the driver who was driving the car: "Uncle, let's go to the market town in front to rest and eat something, how about it?" "The driver was an honest man, in his fifties, with slightly gray hair, not tall, and always a happy face.

As he was talking, he saw Zhu Kexin's little face in the car red, twisting and pinching, and Ai Ai said: "Xuanmeng, I, I want to relieve myself." Zhang Xuanmeng said: "We will go to the market in front of us soon, you can bear with it for a while." ”

Zhu Kexin blushed and said, "No, no, people are uncomfortable." Xuanmeng had to stop the car, took her hand, and came to a tree far away from the road. But Zhu Kexin was still unwilling, and said: "Xuanmeng, you see that people keep walking on the road, I can't solve it if I can see it here." ”

Zhang Xuanmeng took her forward a few dozen steps, which was far away from the road, a depression, and pedestrians on the road could no longer see it. So Zhang Xuanmeng turned his face to the side, and Kexin squatted down and untied his hands.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the main road, and when I came to the place where they parked, I suddenly stopped, and vaguely heard a person asking: "Hey, old fellow, did you see two children?" A boy and a girl, in their teens, heard that they hired an ox cart, is it your car? Tell us quickly, otherwise we will not be polite to you. "The person who spoke was not very old, but he was an anxious person, and he said so much in one breath.

The old man who was driving the car said slowly: "No, where are the two children? I pulled two people, a man and a woman, both in their seventies, and went down to the village I had just passed." If you don't believe it, you see. ”

"Hey, there's really no one. Fuck, you dare to defy me. He heard a scream of "ahh

Zhang Xuanmeng and Zhu Kexin were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they didn't slowly return to the car until they walked away. I saw the old man who was driving the car leave his body and flew to the side, leaning on the car, pulling the car door with his right hand, obviously being hacked to death by the man with a knife.

Zhang Xuanmeng held his head in the car, touched his round eyes with his hand, and said, "Uncle, we hurt you, we will definitely avenge you when we grow up." Before he finished speaking, tears fell from his eyes. Kexin stood aside and sobbed. Xuan Meng bowed to his corpse and pulled Ke Xin up the path in the other direction.

I remember that in the previous life, this old coachman was not killed, they came down in the previous town and changed the road. But this life has changed. Zhang Xuanmeng knew that this life must not be the same as the previous life.
