Chapter 311: Killing the Snake
The next morning, after breakfast, my grandmother told me that the woman I brought back yesterday was Mr. Liu's wife, but the infertility of Mr. Liu's daughter and son-in-law was not caused by her. I was stunned and asked my grandmother what was going on? Is Mr. Liu's wife indeed at Mr. Liu's house?
Grandma said that Mr. Liu's family would affect Mr. Liu more, but Mr. Liu did not have any problems.
When I heard this, I turned my eyes to look at Lingzheng, Lingzheng winked at me, and I reacted instantly, it turned out that Lingzheng said that he was going to Mr. Liu's house to have a look, and he deliberately asked me to catch a "simple soul", and the yin disease of Mr. Liu's daughter and son-in-law is not so simple.
"Lingzheng, you're too bad!" How can this be, people were full of a sense of accomplishment yesterday.
Ling Zheng smiled: "If you practice more, you will naturally be powerful." ”
"Really?"
"Hmm."
I pouted, "I don't believe it." ”
Lingzheng asked, "How can we believe?" ”
"Kiss me, kiss me, I'll believe you, hehe......" I was like a bandit persecuting the spirit to my wife.
My grandmother slapped me: "First year of junior high school, don't mess around, get down to business." ”
"Oh......" I rubbed my head.
My grandmother told me that last night, she had a dream, she dreamed of a few herbs, and a big white snake, it is estimated that Mr. Liu's matter is related to the white snake and herbs, Mr. Liu's son-in-law family, must have made a living by picking herbs in the past. My grandmother asked me to call Mr. Liu and check the matter again, after all, I have promised others, and I have to handle the matter thoroughly.
I left Mr. Liu's phone number yesterday, so I called Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu told me on the phone that his son-in-law grew up in the city, but his father was from the mountains, and his ancestors were indeed medicine pickers. Mr. Liu said that his old parents moved from the mountains to the city, and since then they have been engaged in business and no longer collect medicine.
I heard Mr. Liu say that everything was consistent with what his grandmother said, so I indirectly asked him if he had encountered anything strange when his father-in-law went into the mountains to collect medicine, and Mr. Liu said that he didn't know either, and he had to ask his in-laws about it.
In that case, I will have to confess.
I told Mr. Liu that the ghost matter had not been dealt with properly, and that I had made a mistake yesterday, so I asked him to call home and ask him carefully. Mr. Liu was silent on the phone for a long time, and then told me that he should call and ask. Then he hung up the phone.
I guess when he was silent, he scolded me in his heart.
Ay......
I was so arrogant that I almost discredited my grandmother and Lingzheng.
After about an hour, Mr. Liu called, and after the call, he said a few polite words to me, saying that he asked me to transfer the call to my grandmother, and I was embarrassed to talk to Mr. Liu more, so I went and gave the phone to my grandmother, and my grandmother pressed the phone on speakerphone, and we heard their conversation clearly.
Mr. Liu said: "Sister Bai, it's not that I have the intention to hide it from you, even my son-in-law Li Jun doesn't know about this matter himself, it turns out that there is a reason why their family moved out of the mountains, he was still young at that time, and he didn't remember, so he asked my in-laws to know that there was such a thing, oops...... What a sin......"
"Tell me why?" Grandma asked.
"Let's talk half of each of them, let's see if it's right, and if it's not, we'll make a joke for you, right?" Mr. Liu turned a corner and left the words in suspense.
When I heard Mr. Liu say this, I felt a little unhappy.
Anyway, Mr. Liu himself came to ask his grandmother for help, why do you have to dig out these hearts? However, in retrospect, it is also understandable, who told me to get such a big "stain" yesterday?
Grandma was silent for a while, and said, "In that case, then I'll start with it, it is related to snakes, and it is also a female snake that is rare in a hundred years." ”
"Immortals, what a living immortal, now I really believe it. Sister Bai, I, Liu, obey you, and ask me to bow down,......" Liu Wei said, and I heard the sound of the chair moving, as if he was kneeling down with his legs bent.
"Mr. Liu, what are you doing here, it's just that you have the blessing of your ancestors, and you have some small skills, and you can't get on the things that raise your face, so you don't have to be so polite." Grandma said into the phone: "My wife can't afford such a big gift, and when the matter is resolved, someone will naturally be able to accept your affection." ”
Mr. Liu was silent for a while, and then told us an amazing story.
I sorted it out a little bit and it looks something like this:
One spring many, many years ago, in a small village at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, a small group of people was getting ready to go.
Most of the villagers who live here make a living by collecting medicines, and the middle-aged man at the head of the team is their leader, nicknamed Dashu, who is the grandfather of Mr. Liu's son-in-law, Li Jun. Today is the day when Dashu takes a few people from the village out to collect medicine. The destination of this trip is farther, which is to go to the depths of Taibai Mountain.
At this time, Dashu's only son, Li Jun (that is, Mr. Liu's in-laws), was clamoring to go with him to see and understand. Dashu thought about it, his son had never been to the mountains since he was so old, and it was good to go to Taibai Mountain to experience and experience this time, so that he could pass on the position of the medicine leader to him in the future. The main peak of Taibai Mountain is 3,760 meters above sea level, which is nothing at all for their group of senior medicine pickers.
They came to the dense forest south of Taibai Mountain and saw a stone pit on the southern slope, in which many medicine hoes were thrown horizontally and vertically. The pit was no more than two meters high, and the bottom was covered with herbs. There are too white hand ginseng, gastrodia, too white rice, bird's nest orchid, white spice, fritillary, poria and so on, there are countless of them.
Speaking of this stone pit on the southern slope, there is a legend. Generations of herb pickers have usually experienced some unbelievable things here.
It is said that whenever the herb pickers walked to the edge of the pit, they saw that the pit was very shallow, so that they would happily throw the medicine hoe down first, and then when they were about to jump down, they suddenly found that this stone pit was actually very deep, about six meters, and the pit wall was very steep. So they couldn't find the jump into the pit, so they had to throw away their medicine hoes and leave. Over time, the medicine hoe in the pit will accumulate more and more.
It was the first time for Li Jun to go to such a far place, so don't mention the freshness. When he saw this pit, he was happy, so he threw the medicine hoe down. When he was about to jump down, Da Lima stopped him: "You stupid hehe, you risk looking at the legend and gaining experience, huh?" Look at these hoes lying here, do you think they are drops from the sky? ”
As soon as Li Junjing mentioned this, he remembered those rumors and shrugged aside.
One of them pointed to the stone pit and teased him: "Xiao Li, look, there are a lot of herbs in it." ”
"Yes, Dad, it's a pity to don't want it all......" Li Jun is young and thin-faced, although he has no confidence, he still replied. didn't know that people were deliberately fixing him.
The big tree didn't pay attention to him, but only shouted at everyone to keep going. Such an ordinary herb can't get into their eyes at all, but this time I'm here to catch the big guy.
Li Jun felt that it was a bit embarrassing to leave like this, so he left behind the crowd and walked slowly. I thought that Lao Tzu would like to go down and have a look, so that you can know that Lao Tzu is by no means a chick. You can't jump, can you? Lao Tzu has tools.
Thinking about it, he turned around, took out the medicine collection rope specially prepared for going out this time, fixed one end on the tree, and threw the other end down. The heart said that this time and again was only a matter of a few minutes, and they must not have gone far after collecting the medicine.
He went down the rope to the pit, and as soon as he picked up the medicine hoe he had thrown down, he found a hole not far ahead.
This hole is pitch black, like a thief hole, Li Jun chuckled in his heart, and said that he had made a fortune. Fortunately, his head was still sober, and he didn't go in alone, but quickly crawled out and called his father.
When the big tree heard the sound, he looked back and saw that his disdain was climbing out of the stone pit, so he was so angry that he pointed his finger at him and scolded: "Li Jun, you turtle son Shengdi, what are you doing when you run down?" ”
Li Jun didn't care about his father being angry and scolding him, he only shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, Dad, come and see, there is a thief hole here." ”
"Stealing your mother's hole, I've seen too much, I'm worried about stealing the hole every day, and I'll get back to Lao Tzu." The more Dashu spoke, the more angry he became, and his body trembled slightly, "Li Jun, hurry up." ”
The southern slope is very densely wooded, with many deep ditches and narrow mouths, thick humus on the ground, and gurgling streams, which are very suitable for snakes. He didn't want to delay his mission because he encountered snakes.
"Dad, this time it's a real drop, you can come down and take a look." Li Jun didn't go over either, just stood next to the pit and waved to them. His father had no choice but to look left and right, as if he was asking for the opinions of his companions.
"Da Shu, your son is not willing to give up if he doesn't get to the Yellow River, you just go and take a look, it won't take a few minutes, and you won't be able to delay it." One of them, a man about the same age as the big tree, came out to play a round.
The big tree gave the man a blank look, obviously the man was dissatisfied with the nickname he called, and nodded in response: "Let's go over and have a look." ”
Everyone walked towards Li Jun together, and when they came to the edge of the pit, they couldn't see the hole at all, and no one was willing to take the initiative to go down to the pit with Li Jun. There were a total of 12 people in the group, and after a discussion, except for Li Jun and his father, the rest of the people were all left on it to guard. The man as big as the big tree laughed and said, "Big tree, you have to watch your son closely, don't be caught by the snake root and become a son-in-law......
Da Shu was furious in his heart, glared at the man angrily, and went down the rope with Li Jun. When I landed on the ground, there was indeed a thief hole. The entrance to the cave was a bit of a cave-in, allowing only one person to bend over, and it was overgrown with herbs on all sides, and they were much stronger than usual, so it seemed that the cave could still be ventilated.
The medicine pickers all believed in some ghosts and gods, and Da Shu and Li Jun wondered if there would be anything unclean running out of the hole and attaching themselves to people. I wanted to go, and considering that there were the most rare herbs near the ventilated ancient tomb, I decided to go in and find out. So, tell the companion who was waiting above that there was really a cave down there.
When the people above heard this, they immediately pulled the rope and came down. Seeing that Dashu and Li Jun were standing on the edge of the cave, they had no intention of going in, and they both hesitated and thought about it. Although it is one thing to be a medicine picker, it is one thing to be bold, but the life of the family is always the first. In the end, Li Jun insisted that he go in first, but the big tree couldn't resist him, so he tied a rope to him, and everyone pulled together at the other end, so as not to rescue him in the first place in any situation.
After Li Jun entered, he found that the hole was not dark, and after walking about twenty steps, he saw a coffin resting in the middle of the hole, and there was nothing else. It's all dirt, not like an ancient tomb, but like a cave. The coffin was small, but delicate, only a meter long, and you could still see the gold lacquer inlaid with it. It should be a child who died early, and the age will not be too long. The child who died early used such a good coffin, and I think it should be the heir of a big family.
Thinking so, Li Jun approached the coffin, wanting to see if there were any jade pendants and jadeites left by his predecessors or something, just whatever. I completely forgot that I was just an intern herb picker, not a grave digger.
As a result, it turned out to be an empty coffin.
I suddenly felt a little unlucky, so I wanted to walk around the coffin and take a few steps forward. As a result, the rope on his body was very in the way, so he simply untied it. After walking three or four steps, Li Jun felt a few leaves sweeping on his face, so he raised his hand and pushed them away. Unexpectedly, this time, the eyes suddenly lit up, and a trace of strong light came out from inside. He hurriedly walked over and saw that it was another cave, so he went into it without thinking.
A Pingba Depression appeared in front of me, like a fairyland. There is a huge tree growing there, with green grass and flowers all over the tree. There was also a huge coffin at the bottom of the tree, with the lid open.
Li Jun hurriedly ran over, looked down, but what caught his eye was not a child's corpse, or gold and silver antiques, but a big snake. The snake was about two meters long, white in color, with a visibly thick belly and about two-thirds wrinkles on its back, which was very weird. As soon as he saw such a big white snake, Li Jun became frightened in his heart, and immediately stopped the movement of his feet, clenched the medicine hoe in his hand, and was ready to deal with the attack of the white snake at any time.
For a long time, I didn't see any movement of the white snake, as if it was dead. Li Jun waited for a few more minutes, and when he saw that the snake still hadn't moved, he had the courage to make a little noise with the tool in his hand.
The white snake slowly writhed, its body bending slightly from top to bottom, and after a moment of rest, it saw its tail tilted upwards again, exposing its anal cavity. Li Jun thought badly, he fucked a female snake and laid eggs. Thinking about it, he immediately turned around and walked back, and he didn't care about any antique treasures. At the moment of turning around, the white snake suddenly moved its direction, and Li Jun clearly saw a bird's nest orchid behind it, and the purple light was shining.
Bird's Nest Orchid is commonly known as the Hundred Steps Returning Yang Pill by the villagers, which can be combined with bone and muscle, and has the effect of resurrecting the dead. And it has to grow for at least thousands of years to have such a pure purple color.
It is really unwilling to miss such a precious medicinal material. Li Jun thought about his mother, who was guilty of leg disease, so he moved his mind. Moreover, when female snakes lay eggs, they generally do not take the initiative to attack people. He slowly approached the coffin, only to see that the white snake had stopped moving at this time, and the cloaca was slightly dilated, and a small amount of blood and thin mucus flowed out. And it can be clearly seen that in the transparent membrane of its genitals, when the baby snake is about halfway out, the baby snake in the membrane folds into a Z-shape. As soon as the tail came out, the fetal membranes immediately ruptured, and the baby snake suddenly stretched out and came straight towards Li Jun's door.
Li Junzheng was holding the medicine hoe in his hand, watching the changes, and without waiting for the little snake boy to attack, he raised his hand first and cut it in two. At the same time, the snake's abdomen continued to contract, and other snake cubs soon fished out. Without waiting for the big snake to react, he moved quickly, and slashed down again, and all the little snake cubs were already blurred with flesh and blood, and there was no way to return to the sky.
After a short pause, Li Jun's face was full of blood, panting, and he saw the big snake's eyes glaring at him wide-open, his gaze was not as indifferent as ordinary lower animals, but full of emotion like human eyes. It's not gentle at the moment, it's resentment!
Hum...... Just after giving birth, can you still eat me? Lao Tzu went back and stewed your family in a pot. Li Jun thought so in his heart, his hands rose and the hoe fell.
However, at this moment of falling the hoe, Li Jun paused.
Because he clearly saw that the resentment in the eyes of the white snake gradually turned to lamentation, and then to pleading.
Li Junxin said that a cold-blooded animal can still play so many tricks, shouldn't it be a jing? Then some fear arose, and the hand holding the medicine hoe trembled slightly.
There is no wind or birds in this dam, only medicinal herbs everywhere, and a person and a snake by the coffin are strangely confronted.
Then, Li Jun saw that the anal cavity of the white snake was enlarged again, and the last snake egg was produced, and the fetal membranes were still intact, but the little snake cub was not seen moving and struggling inside.
It was a stillborn baby!
The white snake suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Jun, his eyes showing a thick resentment and killing intent.
Li Jun knew that it was not good, this white snake was afraid that it was going to attack him, so he held the life-saving medicine hoe tightly in his hand. After about a minute, there was no movement from the White Snake, and he took a big step back, but the White Snake still did not move, and always maintained the same position as before.
Suddenly, blood and tears flowed from the eyes of the white snake, and with a muffled sound, he fell on his back, motionless.
Li Jun looked at the corpse of the big snake and the little snake boy who was cut into several pieces by himself, his heart was terrified, and his legs trembled unconsciously.
It was only two seconds later, and I saw that the fallen white snake came back to life, coiled its body, and blood and tears kept overflowing from its eyes and dripping on the ground. Then, in a strange position, he sent the few small snake cubs that had been broken into many pieces back into his genital anal cavity. The area was red and swollen at the moment, and the blood was bleeding nonstop, and it was magnified by the entry of the little snake.
Where has Li Jun seen such a weird picture?
He couldn't stop shivering, he couldn't move half a step, and the warm liquid suddenly flowed out of his pants, and there was a commotion. The white snake got all the corpses of the little snake cub back into his genitals, and his abdomen bulged strangely again. His eyes were resentful and vicious, and he was bleeding and tearful.
Li Jun was stimulated by the smell of his own urine, and then he regained a trace of strength, and he didn't care about any bird's nest orchid at the moment, so he pulled his leg and walked back, but he was hit by something in the back of the head, stumbled in his footsteps, and almost fell. He thought that the white snake had attacked again, and he was about to turn around and cut it with a medicine hoe, but he found that the snake was still frozen there with blood and tears, and his abdomen was bulging, and at his feet, there was the bird's nest orchid, and he thought that it was this bird's nest orchid that hit him on the head.
Somehow, I felt that the bird's nest orchid had a strange magic, as if it could drive people's souls, so that he didn't forget to bow his head and pick it up when he ran for his life.
When he came out, his hands and feet were trembling, his eyes were flashing, his hoe and hands were full of blood, and when he saw his father, he immediately fainted. When he passed out, he still held the bloody bird's nest orchid in his hand.
After recording these stories, I relived the scene experienced by Li Jun again, and I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart.
If what Mr. Liu said is true, combined with his daughter's habitual miscarriage, from the perspective of ghosts and gods, then it is the white snake who has come back to seek revenge. Li Jun killed the little snake boy of the white snake, and the white snake killed the child of Li Jun's son.
Li Jun's greed and killing led to today's bloody situation, which should be regarded as self-inflicted.
What he has done is up to him to bear the consequences.
However, since the White Snake was killed by Li Jun and wanted retribution, it should also be on Li Jun, Mr. Liu's daughter is too innocent. Since this matter has been encountered by us, we must go and solve the grievances between this man and the snake.
