Chapter 321: Little Snake
The little snake sat quietly in the palm of my hand, and did not move for the last time, as if it were asleep. I smiled at it, then placed the snake in the grass on the side, and I took one last look at it before turning away.
I left and walked straight in the direction of the beggar, feeling as if something was following me as I went. But when I turned around, I didn't notice anything.
In the end, I thought it might be the sound of the wind blowing the grass, so I didn't care about it anymore.
When I went back, I found that the beggar was already asleep. I'm also curious about how this person fell asleep, I remember I couldn't sleep last time.
I smiled, then found a flat place and went to sleep. But I don't know why, when I just lay down, I remembered Qing Yao.
Maybe everyone always thinks of some sad and sad things when they are quiet. Maybe it's the little snake just now, which reminds me of Qing Yao.
Now, Qingyao and I have been separated for a while. I slowly raised my head and looked into the night sky through the gap in the bamboo.
"Qing Yao, are you okay now?" I looked at the night sky and muttered to myself.
During this time apart, sometimes I also thought about when we were together. Sometimes I also roughly figured it out, and during that time, I was so bent on seeking revenge on the ghost king, and I simply ignored the Qing Yao around me. At that time, it was as if I couldn't hear Qing Yao's voice, and I only had the word ghost king in my head.
It's a little ridiculous to think about it now, and it was often after Qing Yao left that I realized my mistake. Maybe people are like that, when they have something, they never know how to cherish it. It was only when he lost that he realized the importance of that thing. And I, on the other hand, am a prime example.
"Who is Qing Yao? It sounds like a girl, but it must be a beautiful one. The beggar's voice suddenly rang out.
I sat up and looked at the beggar and said, "Aren't you already asleep?" Why are you talking? ”
"How can you sleep, it's all those all around. I just heard you shouting Qingyao, so I accosted you. The beggar smiled and said.
I thought about it, I was right that I was knocked unconscious that time.
"I don't think you're in the same league as the man who manipulated the walking dead, who the hell are you?" The beggar suddenly opened his mouth again and asked.
I smiled and asked, "How do you know we're not in the same group, and how do you know that I didn't ask for anything else to save you?" ”
"Haha, I'm an old beggar with something for you to take. Just the way you just saved me, I'm sure you're not a bad guy. The beggar said, turning his head in my direction.
I smiled and said after a while, "I'm sorry, I ...... your chicken before."
"Haha, it's just a chicken, just eat it. It's a big deal, I'll talk about it tomorrow, you save my life now, and the misunderstanding between us can be regarded as resolved. The beggar smiled and said.
"By the way, who is that Qing Yao you just said?" Before I could speak, the beggar opened his mouth again and asked.
After hearing this, I said, "That Qingyao is my wife. ”
"Wife? So how are you on your own? There must be some story in this, so let's tell me about it, an old beggar. The beggar said as he sat up.
I hesitated, but thinking about it, it wasn't something to be seen about, and it didn't hurt to talk to him.
But I don't know where to start, because the matter between me and Qing Yao is very long, and if I say it from the beginning, I have to talk about it until dawn.
So, I looked at the beggar and asked, "Then what do you want to hear about us?" If I were to tell both of us, I guess I'd have to say it until dawn. ”
After hearing this, the beggar thought for a while and said, "Let's start with you getting married, I'm more interested in this kind of thing." ”
As the beggar spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face.
I shook my head helplessly and smiled, and then said, "The place where we got married is very special, that's ......"
In this way, little by little, I told the old beggar about our marriage. Of course, I just said a rough idea, and I didn't say anything about Qingyao's identity. The old beggar listened very attentively, and finally shed a few tears.
Before I knew it, the sky was gradually brightening. It was then that I realized that I had spoken to the old beggar for the rest of the night.
"Okay, that's about it." I got up and stretched.
The old beggar rubbed his eyes and said, "What a good girl, I have to say a few words about you, this kid." Such a good girl, why don't you know how to cherish it? If I were your master, I would break your leg. ”
As he spoke, the beggar gave me a blank look.
I looked at the old beggar and asked, "Are your eyes right?" ”
"Okay, it's just that I listened to you talk about things between you, so I didn't say it." As he spoke, the old beggar got up.
I shrugged my shoulders and prepared to get up and move.
But just then, my hand touched something cold. I looked down and saw a small emerald green snake coiled around my hand, as if it was asleep.
Looking closely at the size, I suddenly sounded the little snake I had put into the grass last night. I gently grabbed the little snake and put it in the palm of my hand, and then the sun just rose, and I began to look at the little snake in front of me.
This little snake is covered in emerald green, and what is even more amazing is that there are two crimson lines at the corners of its eyes.
"Yo, where did the snake come from?" The old beggar walked up to me, looked at the snake in my palm and asked.
I shook my head and said, "I met a small snake last night, but the light was too dim to see it. But in terms of size, it should be about the same size as this one. ”
"That's probably the one." The old beggar stared at the little snake and said.
The little snake saw the old beggar staring at it, and then went straight into my cuff. It seems to be very afraid of old beggars, and it is extremely fast.
"Gee, this little thing is kind of interesting. Doesn't it bite you? The old beggar looked up at me and asked.
I shook my head and said, "No, but I feel like it's following me on purpose." ”
As I spoke, I grabbed the little snake out of my sleeve. After the little snake was caught, it kept writhing in my hands, but it just didn't bite me.
"Oops, what a good thing. Come and show me, let me take a closer look. As he spoke, the old beggar took the little snake from my hand.
When the little snake saw the old beggar reaching out to it, it first writhed violently. Seeing that I didn't let go of it, he opened his mouth and bit the old beggar's hand.
Fortunately, the old beggar reacted very quickly and retracted his hand in an instant.
When the little snake saw the old beggar retract his hand, it gradually quieted down in my hand.
"I see, this little thing just doesn't bite you. Fortunately, Lao Tzu's reaction was fast enough, otherwise he would have been bitten. The old beggar looked at his hand as he spoke.
I didn't speak, just looked at the little emerald green snake in my hand and frowned. Then he put the little snake on the ground and prepared to release it.
But as soon as I put the little snake on the ground, the little snake swam towards my legs, ready to continue coiling around my body. Seeing this, I hurriedly took a few steps back.
When the little snake saw me retreating, he continued to chase after me. I took a few more steps back, and the little snake stopped where it was.
It tilted its head and stared at me with round eyes. And I always feel like it's very aggrieved.
"Hehe, I don't think you can get rid of this little guy. Otherwise, just take it with you, and it won't take up space anyway. The old beggar laughed.
I thought to myself, what does it look like to have a little snake by my side? If you let others see it, you won't be scared by it.
But then, no matter what method I used, the little snake followed me as if it had recognized me.
In desperation, I had no choice but to squat down and slowly stretch out my right hand. Seeing this, the little snake went straight into my sleeve. Then I could feel the snake gently wrapping around my arm.
"Alright, let's go find something to eat." I looked at the old beggar and said.
Then the two of us walked off into the distance, ready to find something to eat. On the way, I looked at my arm and thought, maybe this little thing will leave in a few days, it is just a temporary novelty with me.
"By the way, what's your name, stinky boy?" The old beggar turned to me and asked.
"My name is Wang Chuyan, just call me Chu Yan. I don't know, your name? As I spoke, I turned my head to the old beggar.
"I've forgotten my own name, just call me an old beggar. The two of us can be considered friends, and maybe you will be able to ask me again in the future. The old beggar said as he kept looking around to see if there was anything to eat.
I smiled and didn't say anything.
It was hard to find something to eat, but with the joint efforts of the old beggar and I, we managed to find a hare. Neither of us had enough to eat, but we barely filled.
After that, the two of us discussed the matter of the walking corpse, and I only later learned that the old beggar had been looking for the origin of the walking corpse. Lately, there have been walking corpses around the night. But I just can't find the source of the walking corpse. That's why it's so hard to find something to eat around the area.
And I, too, told the old beggar what had happened to me. After hearing this, the old beggar realized that it was really just a misunderstanding between us. Only that chicken, it is definitely not a misunderstanding.
The two of us discussed it for a while, and decided to go to that village and do a big job with the things in the village tonight. Judging by what happened last night, that place must be the lair of the walking dead. As for what those two men said, neither I nor the old beggar figured it out.
But as long as we capture those two people alive, we still have a chance to know something from their mouths.
Once we decided, we started to prepare our own things. The old beggar fiddled with his sword while I fiddled with my charm.
I put the Dao Qi into the charm one by one, so that even an old beggar can use it when the time comes. In that case, he would have a great deal of power to deal with those walking corpses.
Then I gave the old beggar the charm and showed him how to use it.
By the time we were ready, it was almost noon. Since the two of us didn't rest all night, we decided to get some sleep first. That way, we have the energy to deal with those things at night.
With this in mind, the old beggar and I found a relatively secluded place and began to sleep.
