Chapter 4: Serpentine Greed
A few days later, a funeral procession was greeted on the village road, led by a woman and a boy of 18 or 9 years old, who were the farmer's wife and son.
The mother and son were dressed in vegetarian clothes, crying and crying, and behind them were several strong men carrying a coffin, and then heard the mourning gentleman shouting the farmer's name and saying "go all the way".
After dealing with her husband's funeral, the peasant woman sat in the hall at night to keep a wake for her husband, and Aunt Wang next door accompanied her for a while and just left, and her son had already fallen asleep. The peasant woman wept and complained to her husband's spiritual position, exhausted physically and mentally, and fell asleep before she knew it.
The sleeping peasant woman had a dream in which she saw a snake crawling into her bed, and then she saw a corpse on the ground with a choke on the neck.
The peasant woman was awakened by the dream, covered in cold sweat, and got up to put incense sticks on her husband, prayed for his blessing, and then went to make breakfast for her son.
But a few days later, the peasant woman had the same dream again at night, and it happened that today was the seventh day of her husband's life, and early in the morning the peasant woman made breakfast, and instead of calling her sleeping son, she went to her husband's grave alone to burn paper.
The son, who was alone at home, woke up and ate the breakfast left by his mother, and then saw three friends from the village coming to him.
Goudan is the son of a blacksmith in the east of the village, and at the age of ten he was as strong as a calf, wearing a thick cotton coat like a little adult; Silly Fu is the son of the village landlord, who looks like his father, short like a meat ball, and is a blessed little fat man; Ah Chou has no father or mother, thin and weak, delicate appearance, in the village is to watch the ancestral hall, mixed with this meal to grow so big.
The three of them came to find the peasant woman's son because they had agreed earlier, and the peasant woman's son promised to show the three friends the snake wine he brewed, and he also planned to fish out the poisonous snake for everyone to see.
Now that his mother was not at home, the peasant woman's son led the three friends to the kitchen, and then the four of them moved out of the wine jar soaked in snakes.
The peasant woman's son took a clean wooden stick, opened the wine seal, and then scooped it up in the wine jar, and the three friends also stared at it without blinking, watching the peasant woman's son scoop it round and round, but he couldn't catch anything.
The peasant woman's son was strange, and stretched out his head to go to the mouth of the altar to see what was going on.
Who knows, there was a sudden uproar, and a bloody mouth burst out of the jar, biting the throat of the peasant woman's son at once.
The peasant woman's son panicked and suffered pain, took two steps back and fell on his back, the three little friends were stunned, watching a two-foot long worm swing around on the peasant woman's son, and then before they could react, the long worm broke free from the peasant woman's son's palm and slipped out of the kitchen in a zigzag way.
When they ran out of the door of the peasant woman's house, they happened to see the peasant woman coming back from burning paper, and hurriedly told her what she saw.
The peasant woman exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly rushed into the house, and as soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw her son lying unconscious on the ground.
The poisonous snake was so venomous that the peasant woman's son died, and the peasant woman was grief-stricken.
In less than half a month, the peasant woman died of her husband and child, and became a complete widow, and there was a lot of discussion in the village, and I don't know what evil the peasant woman's family had done.
The next night, Aunt Wang came again, and Haosheng advised the peasant woman not to think about it.
However, the peasant woman has long been born without love, her husband and son are dead, what is the point of her living alone, she just let them go.
At night, the peasant woman carried her son's body on her back and took a rope to her husband's grave, thinking that she would let her son be buried in the ground, and she would find another tree and hang him for a hundred years.
Unexpectedly, digging and digging beside her husband's grave, she suddenly dug out a small box, opened it, and saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.
At this time, the peasant woman suddenly felt unwell, and a feeling of nausea hit her, which made her lie on the ground and retch.
The peasant woman, who had long been a mother, was no stranger to this feeling, and she was in a dilemma, and wept all night at her husband's grave, and finally when the sun rose, she buried her son in the ground, and went home with the box of gold, silver and jewelry.
......
"Heaven will not kill me, heaven will not kill me!"
In the corner of the courtyard of the peasant woman's house, the hiding Du Shot was like a new life.
Although he still has lingering palpitations when he recalls the moment when he was pressed into the wine altar, the snake nature preserved Du Shot's immortality and allowed him to experience the joy of harvest.
Thinking back to that moment, Du Jie, who hated him very much, used his instinct to suck away the farmer's luck, and cursed him fiercely for not dying well. After being pressed into the wine jar, Du Jian thought that he would choke to death, but he didn't expect that as a snake body, he was born with tenacious vitality, so he did not drown in the wine jar, but went into hibernation until he was "shocked" awake.
I don't know who I bit to death? It's like a child.
But Du Jie soon didn't care, whatever he didn't care about, as long as he was alive.
After experiencing a baptism of life and death again, Du Shot felt that a shackle in his heart had been broken, and he no longer thought that he was just an ordinary person in an unfamiliar earth, a country with so many people that it had nothing to do with him, a small village in a province or city that was only used as a place to live, and an ordinary family.
Just like the evolution of life from the sea to the land hundreds of millions of years ago, the fish is no longer a fish, and now Du Gun is bound to transform, and his mind has evolved because of this encounter.
The moral concepts and rules and constraints of the past have reduced their influence, because the [snake nature] has germinated in the soul of Du Jie.
Now as a snake, doing whatever you want is the foundation of freedom!
Thinking of the depths, Du Shot's heart was surging, and he raised his snake's head, revealing his hideous fangs.
Returning to reality, a nearby door opening sounded, shaking a pile of snow and falling on Du Shu's head, smashing him to his stomach in one fell swoop. He was a spirit, and his not-so-good eyesight vaguely saw a huge figure, and his natural bioinduction let him know that it was the peasant woman who had returned.
Even if he is full of pride and ideals, he can't get rid of the helplessness of reality, Du Shot is just a snake now, and he believes that if he is discovered by a peasant woman, it will be another test of life and death.
If the thirty-six plans are willing to add one, it should be "obscene development", so Du Jie is not ready to die, although he wants to bite the peasant woman to death immediately.
Seeing that the peasant woman did not find himself, Du Jie decided to spy on the enemy first, he opened the eye of the spirit snake, and found that the top of the peasant woman's head actually showed a puff of green shining golden light, which seemed to contain a piece of vitality, compared to the white mist luck of other people, she was really very strange.
Du Shot inhaled a wisp of white luck from the farmer and didn't feel anything, I don't know what is so special about this green luck?
In a moment, Du Jie slowly crawled from the cold courtyard to the house, in order to find out, and also to keep warm.
As a cold-blooded animal, Du Jie didn't dare to leave this house too far, this midwinter wax moon, there is no warm place he will soon freeze to death, in order to win the great cause of hibernation, he can't hibernate, so he can only endure the pain of the cold while moving carefully.
Crawling into the house, Du Shot heard the peasant woman sobbing, although the snake had almost no hearing, but the blessing of Du Shot's soul changed the situation, although it was not as good as human ears, but it could also be heard.
The peasant woman's cry and complaint fell into Du She's ears, which made Du Shi understand what had happened, and the farmer and his son had actually died.
"It really should."
With a burst of refreshment in his heart, Du Jie looked into the peasant woman's eyes again, revealing dangerous malice.
Since your husband and son are all hanging, what does it mean that you are a widow alive, it is better for me to send you a family reunion, and it will not be in vain for us to get acquainted.
Du Jie poked his head out of the corner, intending to suck the peasant woman's luck and then deal with her in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, the peasant woman suddenly got up and walked to the back room with a small suitcase, and Du Jie followed, but when he climbed into the back room, he found that the peasant woman had collapsed on the bed, and the box in her arms fell to the ground, revealing that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Hiss~~~
When Du Shot saw the gold and silver jewelry, there seemed to be an electric current passing through it from beginning to end, and his eyes were hot and his brain was swollen for a while, and his greedy heart was beating wildly.
"That's a lot of money!!"
With excitement to the point of madness, Du Shot rushed over at lightning speed, plunged headlong into the golden pile of treasure, and did not want to leave. However, it soon became clear that in his present state, he could not take the treasure with him.
Suddenly, an unspeakable pain came to my heart, and this pain was called: The opportunity to make a fortune is at hand, but I have no hands!
