About a month ago, it rained for 7 days and 7 nights in our village.

On the 7th day, there was lightning and thunder outside, and it was pouring rain. What is puzzling is that all the thunder and lightning have smashed into the back mountain. The back mountain is a special place in the village to bury the dead, and there is a river flowing from the back mountain to the entrance of the village.

Seven days later, the river was swollen, and the water that flowed down from the mountain was pink with a sticky smell of blood.

My grandfather was the head of the village, so he took people to the back mountain, and found that there was a bucket-thick python lying in the river in the back mountain, and the giant python was more than 50 meters long, and its skin was open and fleshy, dyeing the whole river red.

At that time, Qin Sanye, the most famous old man in the village, said: "This python became a spirit, and it was originally going to cross the catastrophe and turn into a dragon, but it was unsuccessful, so it was physically injured and fell into this river." ”

But my grandfather said, ", this is God's gift, what a good game, you can't stew it in a pot." ”

Grandpa and my father went up the mountain to bring back the big python, and they had to peel the skin and eat the meat, but the old people in the village persuaded to no avail, not to mention, we were not the only ones who had this idea, and many families were drooling and looking at the snake.

In the afternoon, nearly half of the villagers were given the snake's meat. The snakeskin was taken to town by my father and sold for 30,000 yuan.

My father also said: "If it weren't for the damage to the flesh and skin on this snake, which affected the perfection, I'm afraid it would have been sold for 100,000 yuan." ”

Not to mention 100,000, 30,000 is also a large number in this small mountain village where birds don't poop.

The most famous old man in the village is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, surnamed Qin, Xingsan, the seniority in the village is too chaotic, this old man's seniority is very high, if it is really seniority, even my grandfather has to call the old man grandpa.

Therefore, regardless of men, women and children in the village, they all call Qin Sanye.

Hearing this, Qin Sanye pointed at my grandfather and said, "Qin Xiong, you are creating evil, and sooner or later you will be punished." ”

But grandpa doesn't eat oil and salt, and he doesn't listen to anyone.

Not to mention, python meat is delicious. That night, our family made a whole snake feast, and the table was full of python meat. My father also used the 30,000 yuan to buy a lot of wine and food, and everyone ate with a mouthful of oil.

For Qin Sanye's words, in fact, I don't believe it very much, he is old, his brain is a little unclear, and sometimes he always talks nonsense, if it weren't for his seniority, it is estimated that my grandfather would be able to quarrel with him.

Qin Sanye also said that my family will be unlucky in a short time.

But on the second day, my dad went to town to buy a lottery ticket and won more than 300,000 yuan.

What bad luck is this?

It's good luck.

I even look at the rain every day, how good it would be if there were more such big snakes.

But how I hope that this will never happen again.

With the money, I first renovated my home. My family's dilapidated house has been lived in for more than 20 years, it has long been dilapidated, originally my father was going to push the reconstruction, my grandfather had to say that it could be repaired in the same place, and the rest of the money had to be given to me to study.

However, my father still plans to expand the house so that the family can live more comfortably. On the afternoon of the day the house was being repaired, my father fell off the roof and broke his leg.

Immediately, my grandfather took my father to the hospital in the town.

That night, it was only my grandmother and I at home, and in the middle of the night I got up to go to the toilet, and when I passed by the yard, I vaguely saw a dark shadow standing there, and I thought it was a thief, so I picked up a stone, and when I got close to the black shadow, I threw the stone out.

The stone smashed into the shadow, leaving no sound, as if it was an abyss, and if you fell into it, you couldn't get out.

I was a little scared and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”

In the dark shadows, two particularly bright, round, eye-like things immediately lit up, staring at me from afar.

What kind of eyes were they, gloomy, hateful, ferocious, all kinds of emotions wrapped in them, and I felt cold all over my body just by looking at them.

I crawled back to the house with my hands and feet weak, and when I closed the door, I could hear the low laughter of the shadow outside, which seemed to be laughing at me.

Sleeping in bed, those eyes lingered in my head.

It was night, I finally fell asleep in a daze, but I felt something cool crawling on my skin, I kept fiddling with my hands, trying to open my eyes, but I felt like my eyes were covered with a thick membrane, and I couldn't open them at all.

I didn't know how long I slept like this, and suddenly I heard my grandfather's angry voice outside the door. When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already daylight, and my grandfather came back from the dust outside, and scolded: "Which conscience is this who has done such a thing?" ”

At this time, I found out that at the door of my house, I don't know when, there were five white coffins.

The material of the coffin is neither gold, nor wood, nor stone, nor jade, and I don't know what it is made of, and it is translucent in the sunlight. The coffins are four large and one small. Each coffin has the name of each person in our family written in red lacquer.

On the smallest of them, on the coffin, is my name, Qin Xian.

No wonder Grandpa was angry like that.

Grandpa's shouting attracted the attention of others, and Qin Sanye was also among them. Grandpa's face changed, and he hurriedly called Qin Sanye over.

Qin Sanye glanced at his grandfather coldly: "Retribution is coming." With that, he turned around and left.

Grandpa was stunned in his heart and yelled: "Even if there is retribution, it should be retribution on me, an old man, what does it matter to my grandson and son?" It wasn't that they had to eat the serpent. ”

Qin Sanye paused, walked back uneasily, and looked at his grandfather's sad eyes. Qin Sanye sighed: "I'll ask you." ”

Grandpa's eyes immediately lit up: "Hey, good, good." ”

When Qin Sanye said this, it meant that he wanted to take care of it.

Qin Sanye said, and went directly into the door of my house.

The two adults set up the incense burner, Qin Sanye lit the incense directly at the door, there were three sticks of incense, inserted in the incense burner, and it was about dozens of seconds, two of the three incense sticks were emitting black smoke, burning extremely fast, just a few breaths, and only half of them were burned. The other one, as if it was a little different, only a little bit of spark, burned very slowly.

Seeing this scene, Qin Sanye's face changed.

Qin Sanye did not give up and put on ten incense sticks in a row, and each incense stick was like this.

Qin Sanye sighed, touched my head with his rough big hands, sat on the ground, and shook his head at my grandfather: "No, people want you to be out of the house, this is a no house incense." ”

Grandpa gritted his teeth, talking nonsense, looking unconvinced, but when he lit the cigarette, his right hand kept shaking, and he couldn't light the cigarette for a long time.

Just when the atmosphere at home was stagnant, Grandpa's phone rang sharply, and when it was connected, as soon as the person on the other end finished speaking, his phone fell to the ground, fortunately it was Nokia's old machine, which was dropped.

"What's the matter?" Grandma asked in a low voice with teary eyes.

"Wei Guo," Grandpa's right hand kept shaking, the amplitude was even greater, and in the process of lighting the cigarette, a tear flowed down Grandpa's cheeks full of ravines: "Wei Guo is critically ill." ”

"How can that?" Grandma was startled, the enamel cup in her hand fell to the ground, and she splashed half of her body: "Wasn't it okay for you to go yesterday?" Besides, if you break your leg, how can you be critically ill? ”

As if he remembered something, Grandpa threw away the cigarette in his hand and rushed straight out. Grandma was going to follow, but she couldn't.

I cried as soon as I wowed, and Qin Sanye touched my head: "Poor Xiaoxian, I'm still so young." ”

My mother hugged me and knelt down for Qin Sanye: "Please Qin Sanye think of a way, we adults have nothing, we just want to let this baby live, don't really let the old Qin family die." ”

My grandmother also hugged me and cried. After crying twice, he lost his breath and fell backwards.

There was another rush of scramble, and the grandmother lay on the bed, dizzy.

Qin Sanye prescribed a side medicine, and his face was always solemn. For my mother's request, there was no committal and no answer. Finally dragged his heavy steps and left.

In the afternoon, my mother was cooking, and my grandfather came back with my father, and what was carried back on a stretcher was just a cold corpse.

When the adults put the body in the hall, I went to lift the white cloth from my father's body, and my father's pale face came into my eyes, and his big eyes looked at the sky.

My father's appearance has completely changed, and black scales have grown on his body, like snake scales, densely packed.

I was scared and cried again, Qin Sanye hugged me and sang a certain song in a low voice that I didn't understand, the song was very strange, but it was able to soothe me.
