Chapter 109: Sacrifice

After the sister-in-law came out of the room, she followed the snake before to carry the tank, x

The cold wind under the night blew on my Zhang Qingqing's face, making our hearts feel a chill. After the figure of sister-in-law Xiu completely walked out of the small courtyard, Zhang Qingqing asked me, "Huohuo, what should I do?" Shall we keep up? ”

I nodded, and I was going to follow with Zhang Qingqing quietly.

However, at this moment, a figure behind us quietly approached us. Immediately, when he came to us, he called out.

"Sister Qing, Sister Huo, what are you doing here?"

The sudden sound startled us, and we turned around to see Cardamom in her pajamas, blinking her eyes and looking at us curiously.

"Shh~~" I made a boo at her, and immediately glanced at Zhang Qingqing, motioning for her to explain to Cardamom.

Zhang Qingqing told Cardamom what had just happened, Cardamom's eyes showed an incredible look, and after a long time, she muttered in a low voice: "Mother in the middle of the night, is this going to do?" Sister Qing, Brother Huo, can you take me? I'm going too..."

She also wanted to know what her mother was doing in the middle of the night dressed up like that.

Zhang Qingqing and I glanced at each other, nodded helplessly, Cardamom said that she was going to follow, and we had no reason to stop her, after all, Sister-in-law Xiu was her mother.

"Whew~~"

In this way, the three of us secretly went out of the courtyard under the cover of night.

Fortunately, the sister-in-law in front didn't go far, and we could still see her figure behind us. Quietly following her figure, we kept moving forward.

After half an hour, the sister-in-law in front of her finally stopped.

Moreover, at this time, she suddenly turned her head as if she had sensed something!

Hold the grass! Fortunately, the three of us consciously squatted on the ground the moment she stopped, hiding behind a big tree, so that she didn't find out.

"Strange, how do I feel that there are eyes staring at me from behind..."Sister-in-law Xiu muttered, and then continued to walk after the snake carrying the tank.

After walking like this for more than ten minutes, we found that this sister-in-law actually spared a circle and returned to the big tree where the snake banquet was held before.

At this point, the Gu snakes carrying the large water tanks stopped and placed all three large water tanks on the ground. At the same time, Sister-in-law Xiu also stopped and stood next to the three large water tanks.

Zhang Qingqing, Cardamom and I, holding our breath, hid behind a big tree in the distance, poked our heads out, and looked at my sister-in-law strangely.

"Sister Qing, Brother Huo, you said that my mother brought three water tanks to the big tree in the middle of the night, why did you bring three water tanks to the tree?" Cardamom frowned and asked in a low voice.

Of course, Zhang Qingqing and I couldn't answer her question, she didn't know, and Zhang Qingqing and I obviously didn't know.

"Huh" And at this moment, Zhang Qingqing whispered an exclamation, and immediately, we saw a few more women under the big tree.

These women were dressed exactly like Xiu's sister-in-law, and beside each of them, there was a group of snakes who stood up and carried the jar.

It's really strange, I've heard Cardamom say before that every house in the homes of the women of Gu Snake Island has at least one big water tank, and it is covered with a lid, and I don't know what it contains.

Now, these women actually came to the big tree with these big water tanks in the middle of the night. What does this mean?

And during the day, Cardamom took us to visit Gu Snake Island, when we came under this big tree, when we saw that under this big tree, there were countless crockpot fragments densely packed, now I think about it, those fragments are obviously the fragments of this water tank!

Looks like they're going to break the tank in a minute!

I've always wondered what's in the tank, maybe I'll see it later.

Time, like fine sand, is scooped up from the palm of the hand and passes through the fingers.

In a flash, it was another half hour.

In the past half an hour, more than a dozen women, dressed like sister-in-law Xiu, with water tanks, came to the big tree.

Among these people was the old woman who had been holding the serpentine cane during the banquet before. Of course, my sharp eyes, even under the moonlight, saw Song Yuqi, and she also came.

Looking at it this way, all the women combined, there were about seventeen or eighteen, and when they were all there, the old woman with the snake cane in her hand held the cane and shouted, "Girls, the time for the sacrifice is almost up, prepare your things, and welcome the arrival of the snake god!" ”

As soon as she said this, the sisters-in-law and the sisters suddenly began to get busy.

From the bamboo baskets, they took out many things, incense, food, red cloth, etc., and placed them next to their water tanks, and at the same time, they also prostrate on the ground, like Tibetans on pilgrimage.

As for the old woman, she began to circle the tree with the serpentine cane.

The old woman was not young, and the way she ran was very funny, I wanted to laugh when I saw it, but in the eyes of the sisters-in-law, this scene looked extremely solemn, and each of them was extremely solemn.

The old woman turned three times to the left and three times to the right, and at the same time, she looked up and spoke, and we followed her gaze towards the sky, and we could not help but be stunned at this sight.

We were horrified to find that the previous moon was actually blocked by a black disk.

This is... Lunar eclipse! That is, the Tengu Eclipse Day in our local language!

When the lunar eclipse appears, the whole land is plunged into absolute darkness.

"Boom, boom!!"

And in the midst of that darkness, suddenly the earth trembled, as if there had been an earthquake.

This strange change made Cardamom and Zhang Qingqing around me extremely nervous, and they pulled my arms tight and pressed their bodies tightly against me to reduce the fear in their hearts.

"Hiss~~~"

An incomparably violent hiss came from the direction of the tree, but because of the absolute darkness, we couldn't see what was happening.

"Could it be that the snake envoy has appeared again??"

"What happened to the shaking just now?"

I wondered if the eclipse would pass so that we could see what was going on under the trees in front of us.

"Hiss~~~"

The roar, more and more intense, more and more frequent, listened to the ears, and the heart began to hair.

I could also feel Zhang Qingqing and Cardamom next to me getting more and more nervous, and I could even hear their rapid breathing, and at the same time, they were sticking to me a little tighter.

A few minutes passed, and the lunar eclipse was slowly receding, and the darkness was being replaced by the moonlight again.

Under the moonlight, I finally saw the scene under the big tree in front of me.

Seeing that scene, the shock in my heart is really hard to express in words.

I saw that the big tree in front of me split and cracked a big hole.

And in the big hole, a huge snake head poked out, and the snake head, roaring in the sky, opened its bloody mouth, facing the moon. It was as if he wanted to swallow the moon in his mouth.

Around it, countless small snakes swam around, and even, on the branches and leaves of those big trees, countless small snakes straightened up, squinted their eyes, enjoying the illumination of the moonlight, looking at their appearance, they were a little like the vampires in the West, absorbing the light of the moon...

It's weird, it's so weird!!

At this moment, the sister-in-law and the sisters were all prostrate on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads, nor even to move.

At that moment, the silence was incomparable, and the sound of the majestic wind blowing the leaves could also be heard.

This went on for a quarter of an hour or so, until the eclipse had completely receded, and suddenly, the head of the snake that peeked out of the crack in the tree... I opened my eyes!!

Oh my God, what kind of eyes are they!!

They are the size of a lantern, with two pupils inside, like fists, and they are all turquoise, shooting out a flashlight-like light, but the light of the flashlight is warm, and its light is cold, weird, and chilling...

After the eyes of the big snake opened, the countless small snakes next to him also opened their eyes at the same time.

"Sneer~~~"

Countless green rays appeared in the night, like countless fireflies, of course, the fireflies were not as big as them, and the light they shot out did not have their cold and treacherous.

"Hiss~~"

The huge snake head roared in the sky, and in an instant, countless small snakes also roared.

At this moment, I found that the cardamom next to me was so nervous that even her hands grabbed my shoulders, which made me feel a little painful.

She was incredulous and whispered, "This snake head is the one I saw in my dream, is it... Snake God!! ”

"No, the snake god is supposed to be a prince charming, who will come to me on a white horse, and then get down on one knee, kiss the back of my hand, and ask me if I would like to marry him... How can it really be a big snake!! Cardamom murmured, imagining the snake god as a fairy tale prince charming.

"Ugh..."

I sighed in my heart, Cardamom is just a little girl after all, imagining love as a fairy tale. However, the reality, how can it be a fairy tale, the reality is... Brutal.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the huge snake head, and saw that it was very similar to the one I had seen in the portrait before, and I didn't know if they were the same.

At this time, the old woman holding a snake cane walked up to Sister-in-law Xiu and the others, raised the cane, and looked at the head of the snake.

Immediately, she was extremely respectful and bowed down to the head of the snake.

"Lord Snake God, please bless us!!"

As soon as she said this, Sister-in-law Xiu and others, who were prostrate on the ground behind her, also spoke together, "Lord Snake God, please give us blessings!" ”

"Snort~~"

At this moment, the huge snake head opened its mouth......
