Volume 1 Memoirs Chapter 3 The Pond Shocks the Family
I still often dream of the white snake's bloody mouth, it is really very infiltrating, I don't know how my sister endured it so closely.
Later, just as the white snake was about to swallow his sister, the eldest uncle suddenly appeared with a group of people, and began to throw pieces of golden things into the big snake's mouth from a very long distance.
The white snake had something in its mouth, and subconsciously swallowed it. And in an instant, the white snake began to howl into the sky, slamming its body into the trunk of the tree, and shaking its head at the branch.
Longan and some branches, the leaves fell down, and the whole tree also trembled violently.
My sister couldn't stand this tremor and fell straight from the tree. Fortunately, the group of sacrificial villagers under the tree stretched out their hands and caught my sister.
The white snake's originally white body soon appeared with patches of blood, it opened hard, and the mouth of the painful howl, thick scarlet blood, formed a straight line, flowing downward, a very terrifying situation.
I couldn't tell if it was the snake's wound or something else, all I knew was that the white snake was in terrible pain after eating those golden things.
The eldest uncle and the others took advantage of the opportunity to rush over, and each of them carried a basket of golden things.
It was only after I got up close that I could see what they were, the golden things, they were all plants. In addition to its golden flowers, it has some brightly colored purplish-red fruits under its leaves.
The smell of this plant is very peculiar, and I just feel that it is very fragrant. But some people don't seem to like it very much and find it pungent. Just like durian, some people think it smells good, and some people think it smells.
When the uncle approached, he threw another round, and this time I saw that when the plants hit the white snake, the flowers scattered, and the fruits under the leaves immediately exploded, splashing a large amount of purple-red liquid.
Those liquids were just like the current sulfuric acid, and after splashing on the scales of the white snake, they immediately corroded, and even quickly corroded into its flesh, and a large number of blood blisters appeared.
The white snake began to roll in pain, and the body hovering over the tree seemed to have lost its strength. He fell straight down the trunk of the tree and smashed into the big pond.
Perhaps the water in the pond relieved the pain of the white snake, and after a while in the water, the white snake dived down and disappeared. Until the water ripples calmed down, it didn't reappear.
After that, my sister and I were taken to my grandmother's house. My grandfather passed away before my parents got married, and now only my grandmother and uncle live in that house.
My grandmother doted on me and my sister very much, and it felt better than her own grandchildren, that is, the children of my little uncle.
My uncle is not married, and I seem to have heard that he doesn't like children. Maybe that's why he doesn't like me and my sister very much. Even his own nephews and nieces, even my cousins, did not dare to come to their grandmother's house.
Grandma took us for half a year, and during this half year, my grandmother bought snacks for us to eat every once in a while. Among them, I love to eat a kind of triangular bread, and I have never forgotten the taste.
This bread is very soft, does not require a lot of effort to chew, and is very fragrant. Grandma, who is a little toothless, likes to eat very much.
I remember that when I was on the rock, the last time I went to buy bread, I threw the only dollar coin into the water when I passed a large pond.
I cried urgently, squatted on the ground and fished desperately. My parents don't know the depth of the pond, so how can it be fished up?
My sister was behind me, she was the one who took the money, but I grabbed it, and now that the money is lost, she is very angry and blames me. But she's not stupid enough to make money in the water like I did.
While I was fishing, I listened to my sister's scolding. But my sister scolded and scolded in a smaller and smaller voice, and gradually there was no voice.
I immediately wondered, with my sister's temper, where did she extinguish the fire so quickly?
So he leaned his ears and listened carefully. When I heard this, I was immediately startled. I actually heard a very loud "hissing" sound of air leaking.
Can this sound be more familiar? Isn't this the voice of the serpent spitting out letters?
When I was in a cold sweat, my sister suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged me frantically out of the pond.
The moment I started, I glanced at the pond. The surface of the pond, which was originally very calm, rippled a huge layer of ripples, and on the somewhat dark water, a huge, white shadow, meandering, gracefully rowed through.
Great White Snake!
My brain exploded in a bang, and it was a mess, and I saw the white snake swimming towards us.
We didn't have time to escape from the pond before we saw that the white snake was about to come ashore.
At this time, my sister, out of instinct, dragged me and hid me behind her, and she herself stood in front of the white snake in front of the shield.
The white snake, which was almost out of the water, suddenly stopped moving, and then quickly sank, disappearing without a trace in a moment.
We don't know what happened, but I just remember being so scared that I rushed back and cried with my parents.
The next day, an altar was erected on the edge of the pond, and the news of the appearance of the white snake in the pond was leaked somehow. The villagers, under the leadership of the goddess, threw three live animals into the water and sacrificed the white snake.
Because there were many people and we were young, we forgot about being afraid and ran over to join in the fun.
Originally, we watched the pigs, cows and sheep struggling desperately after entering the water, swimming in the water. But when we had gone over, the pig suddenly slapped the water twice and then stopped moving, and then the water made a circle, and the pig sank.
The scene was very strange, and the villagers who were worshipping were kneeling and praying without seeing it. But when my sister and I stood at the water's edge, we saw it with our own eyes.
And I saw that under the water, a long white shadow was levitating.
It was the White Snake, who was devouring the cattle and had already swallowed half of the pig. The pig tried to struggle underwater, but poured a mouthful of water, and it didn't take long for it to die.
The white snake was very stressed, and swallowed quietly. The people on the shore didn't notice it, but they still knelt, bowed their heads, and prayed silently.
My sister and I were stunned by the white snake, and we stood there motionless. And the white snake suddenly didn't know why, stopped devouring the pig, and looked at the shore with a pair of glowing eyes.
If I had been paying attention at the time, I might have noticed in advance that it was looking in the direction of my sister.
At that moment, the white snake spat out the almost swallowed pig, and its body fell silent, and then started from its tail and gradually sank. Within seconds, the white snake quietly disappeared into the pond.
The only things left were the cows and sheep that were still splashing in the water.
It was only after the incident that the eldest uncle rushed over. They quarreled on the shore, and the eldest uncle seemed to reprimand them for their ignorance.
Then everything was removed, as were the cattle and sheep that were not dead.
My sister and I were taken back by my uncle.
My uncle didn't say anything to us, but he seemed to tell my parents. That night, my sister and I moved with our parents to the Pingxiang area.
Here, my little uncle settled. They didn't actually have any land here, so they rented my cousin's house.
To me is a cousin, but to my uncle it is a blood relative.
At that time, Pingxiang was not as highly developed as it is now. At that time, there was not much population, there was not much flat ground, there were mountains everywhere, and there were caves everywhere. Residential houses are scattered at the foot of various valleys and do not have much connection.
My uncle is renting someone else's house here, and my family definitely doesn't have a place to live.
At that time, I didn't understand why I lived well on my grandmother's side and had a factory over there, so I suddenly came here. There is no house here, so it's not easy to live in.
On the day I came, my mother took me to my uncle's house not immediately, but first visited the family of a person who lived in a low valley and water depression. The wife of this family is my mother's classmate.
He has a son who is about the same age as me, named Li Bei, who is an unconscious master. I've been like that since I was a child.,It's a very naughty kind.。
The first time they saw me, they gave me a slap in the face. I was stunned, and I didn't dare to fight back, after all, their family.
And my mother didn't see it, and actually asked me to take out the cold cake she made for the hairy boy to eat.
Okay, I'll just bear with it and give it. Who knows, this hairy kid knocked over the cold cake in my hand with a slap.
This time, his actions were seen by both my mother and his mother, and his mother beat him severely. But this kid actually squinted his eyes and glared at me fiercely.
It was also from then on that Li Bei and I began to fall apart.
My father and sister found a relatively flat ground on the slope, with a rocky hill at their back, a row of residential houses on the left, and a single brick house 20 meters away. And ahead, there is a horizontal road.
After taking a fancy to the land, my parents began to build a shack against the wall of the residential house on the left.
During this period, our family lived in a house rented by my uncle.
The house he rented was also mountaineering, and there were three separate mountains further to the left. And in the middle of the three mountains, there is a very flat land, where a very modern building is built.
Later, I learned that the building was a border station, and it was full of soldiers.
Their border post connects to the road outside, and there is the only concrete road in the entire mountain.
It is said that this road originally existed. This road existed when there were no people at the foot of this large mountain range, and it connected the middle valley of the three separate mountains. This is also the reason why the soldiers built the border guard station here. Because, there is a ready-made road, which is convenient.
