No matter what the era, children still like to get together to play, and it is common to tell a few ghost stories, but most of the time it is made up by one of the children, and the children have a rich imagination, as long as they say a little bit with a nose and eyes, the other children will believe it.

Fang Chao went to inquire about the way up the hill, Tang Yao had nothing to do anyway, so he listened to the child tell ghost stories on the side.

"My brother is the village security team, you all know, I didn't hear that there were snakes in the field a while ago, several people in the village were bitten by snakes, and the security team planned to catch the snake out, but now the weather is hot, the snake does not come out at all during the day, and it comes out to the evening when it is cooler, so my brother came out at night a few days ago to look for it, he said that he heard a sound when he was walking in the field, and then ran over to see, it was a snake head bigger than my head, my brother said he was startled, and wanted to call someone, But when the snake saw my brother, he fled at once, and my brother hurried after him. When the storyteller told this, one of the children who listened to the story suddenly laughed.

"You lie, there is no such big snake in the world." A child listening to a story shouted.

"Yes, my dad said yes, there's a big python that can swallow you in one gulp." The storyteller was in a hurry, and his voice began to shout.

"If that snake is that big, why are you afraid of your brother, your brother's strength is not as big as mine."

Tang Yao couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, and after the two children argued for a few words, the storytelling child seemed to have the upper hand and continued: "Anyway, my brother chased after the snake, and the snake fled, and kept fleeing towards the old barren slope. ”

"Did your brother catch up?" A child hurriedly asked.

"I must have caught up, my brother also had a fight with the big snake on the old barren slope, my brother smashed the head of the big snake, but he was still bitten by the big snake, the snake was poisonous, my brother quickly called my dad and asked my dad to bring someone to save him, it was very late at that time, my brother said that he vaguely saw a man without a head walking towards him, and he was holding a big knife in his hand, and it was a ghost at a glance, my brother said that the ghost came to him and asked him if he wanted to live or die, my brother must want to live, and the ghost said to my brother, Let him never come to the old barren slope again, my brother agreed and let him live. ”

Ghost stories made up by children like this are generally anticlimactic, and the final result is bound to be unfinished.

The children dispersed in a hurry, and Tang Yao listened to a story as if he was bored, and then Fang Chao came over and said: "Inquire about it, that hillside is called Old Barren Slope, let's walk up three or four hundred meters along the road to the south of the village, it's not far from here." ”

Hearing the three words of Lao Huangpo, Tang Yao was stunned, because the ghost story of the child just now happened in Lao Huangpo.

"Have you been making trouble in the village lately?" Tang Yao asked.

Fang Chao nodded and said: "Yes, this village is close to the highway, so there are often drivers who come and go to the village to rest, the police station is sometimes understaffed, and there have been a few times when people outside have trouble and have no time to manage, so the village has set up a security team by itself, and recently this security team is catching snakes." ”

"It can't be such a coincidence...... Tang Yao muttered in his heart, and followed the nest towards the old barren slope.

The distance is only three or four hundred meters, but Tang Yao has seen at least a dozen graves and many of them are deserted graves, the top of the old barren slope is a large open space, Fang Chao said: "I inquired, it is said that the earliest time here is an ancient official's summer house, and then the house of the official fell and was vacant, over time the house was gradually frequented by the villagers and passing vagabonds, and over time it gradually became a broken wall, and now, this place has been completely razed to the ground. I heard that the village plans to build an elderly activity center here in the future. ”

Tang Yao smiled and said, "It's really interesting, build an elderly activity center next to the cemetery." ”

Fang Chao said: "In fact, for the local villagers, although these graves are a little fearful, but nothing strange has happened for so many years, so there are not too many taboos, but they will still warn the children in the village that they are not allowed to play in the cemetery. ”

On the huge clearing on the hillside, Tang Yao walked forward while looking down to investigate, the ground was overgrown with weeds and covered with fallen leaves, and the deepest place of fallen leaves could even completely cover Tang Yao's feet, Tang Yao whispered to himself: "If there is a snake hidden in this kind of place, it is estimated that you will not be able to see it." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, there was a strange sound on the ground, and there seemed to be something passing through the fallen leaves and weeds not far away, that kind of sound made Tang Yao feel uneasy, he quickly looked at the place where the sound came from, the mountain wind just blows, and the heavy leaves on the ground have been lifted away, and Tang Yao vaguely seems to see a black snake.

He immediately became vigilant, staring intently at what was suspected to be a snake on the ground, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was a snake, seeing this scene, Tang Yao hurriedly shouted to the nest in the distance: "Nest, come here, I have a snake here." ”

"If there is, there will be it, if you catch it, don't tell me that you can't even deal with a snake." Fang Chao didn't look back and said, the person in the world who doesn't have to worry about poisonous snakes is probably Tang Yao, because almost most of the venom of poisonous snakes has no effect on him, at most it only makes him feel partially paralyzed and slightly dizzy, and it doesn't kill him at all, and it is almost impossible to bite Tang Yao to death by relying on snake teeth, so Fang Chao is not worried at all.

Tang Yao pursed his lips, picked up a wooden stick from the ground and slowly walked towards the thing suspected of being a poisonous snake, walking to a place about one meter away from the poisonous snake, Tang Yao estimated the distance and then gently used the wooden stick to gently remove the fallen leaves around, but the poisonous snake hidden under the fallen leaves did not move, and did not even make any sound, the true body of the poisonous snake under the fallen leaves was slowly emerging, unexpectedly under the fallen leaves was not a real poisonous snake, but a shed snake skin, but just covered by the fallen leaves, so it looked like a real poisonous snakeAt this time, Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the snake skin with a wooden stick, but this time he found something more terrible than encountering a poisonous snake, because the snake skin that appeared in front of him was a little terrible.

Tang Yao looked at the translucent snake skin in front of him that had dried up a little under the scorching sun, and then looked at the wooden stick in his hand that was about one meter long, the length of the snake skin actually reached twice that of this wooden stick, that is, this snake skin was two meters long, and this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the snake skin in front of him is only a section and is not complete, so how big should the big snake that left this snake skin be?

Looking at the snakeskin in front of him, Tang Yao thought of the horror stories told by the children in the village, maybe it was really not groundless.

Just as Tang Yao was thinking about this, Fang Chao suddenly shouted from a distance: "Tang Yao, come here, there is something found here." ”

Tang Yao, who heard the voice, hurriedly ran over, and after standing beside Fang Chao, he saw a strange huge stone plate in front of the two, this stone plate was about five to six meters in diameter, the edge was polished very smooth, and there were some patterns engraved on the surface of the stone plate, Tang Yao took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the stone plate, and Fang Chao next to him said: "The pattern on this stone plate seems to depict a certain story, and I'm afraid it has something to do with stories such as myths and monsters, you see, there is a big snake with a single horn on it, There is also a tall warrior with a broken knife in his hand, it seems that the two are fighting, and the age of this stone plate is probably quite old, maybe it has something to do with the tomb of the Dikui Dragon we are looking for. ”

"Headless warriors, huge snakes, could it be that the horror story told by that kid is true? By the way, Fang Chao, look at this. Tang Yao handed the huge snake skin he found to Fang Chao, and Fang Chao's brows furrowed slightly.

"There are very few snakes in the countryside in this area, and even if they do, they are at most cauliflower snakes or red chain snakes, I think this snake skin is about two meters, then this guy's body may reach three or four meters, such a long snake is already a monster......" Fang Chao was speaking, but his voice stopped dumbly, Tang Yao looked at him suspiciously, but saw that Fang Chao's eyes were looking behind him.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yao asked strangely, slowly turning his head, and the next moment he immediately understood why Fang Chao had such a reaction, because not far behind Tang Yao, a big black head appeared in the thick pile of fallen leaves, that head was almost about the same size as Tang Yao's face, the triangular head was spitting out a purple tongue, and the huge and twisted body appeared and disappeared in the pile of fallen leaves, this was a terrifying big snake, even if there was no way to see the whole picture now, but it was conservatively estimated to be at least four meters long.
