Volume 1 The Tomb of the King of Shu Chapter 15 The Red-Eyed Snake
There was a chill in those red eyes that flashed the moment I turned around. I felt a chill run down my spine, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Those eyes are very vicious and familiar, and as long as you look at them, you will never forget them.
There are many snakes in Sichuan, as long as people who have lived here, they have basically seen it. Especially in those places where the humidity is extremely heavy and the bamboo forests are dense, there is basically a poisonous snake under two or three bamboos, but most of them are finger-thick bamboo leaf green and silver snakes, and the locals use hooks to hook out of their hibernation holes in winter to drink and eat. But there are also some snakes that people are afraid to touch.
The pair of red eyes just now were the eyes of a snake, and they were a walking snake. When I was young, I went to my grandfather's house in the summer. At night, I went up the mountain with a little boy from the village to steal buds planted by other people's families. There were no snacks for us to eat in those days, and when the buds were just ripe, we would peel off the outer skin and throw them in the fire to roast, and if we were lucky, we would find some honey and spread it on the browned buds, and I thought it was delicious at that time.
Our half-grown boys didn't feel scared either, and slipped out at about ten o'clock in the evening and went up the hill behind the village. To get to the bud valley, we had to go through the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and although the old people warned us not to go near the bamboo forest at night, no one cared about it at this time, and a group of people frolicked and went in.
At night, the bamboo forest will be foggy, and the bamboo leaves on the ground are wet, and I haven't walked far, and my shoes and pants are already soaked, and it is particularly uncomfortable to stick to my body. Blown by the cloudy wind of this night, we also felt cold on our bodies, and we were scared by the moon, and it was dark everywhere, and we couldn't tell the difference between left and right.
Suddenly, I heard a person next to me shouting in panic: "Snakes, lots of snakes." The bamboo leaves on the ground immediately stirred, and a series of swishing sounds sounded under our feet. At this time, we were already frightened, we couldn't care about anything else, screamed and ran away, I immediately panicked, these people have grown up by this bamboo forest, familiar with the road, no matter how scared, can find a way out, and I am the first time to come, where do I know how to get out.
At this time, there is a series of bamboo leaves around the feet, and it feels like stepping on a minefield, and I don't know which foot can step on a snake. Looking around again, there was no one running, and there was a faint exclamation in the distance. At this point, I didn't dare to stay where I was, so I ran all the way in the direction of the shout, and behind me there was the sound of snakes crawling.
I had no sense of direction now, and I didn't know where to run, so I just circled around this bamboo forest. After running for more than twenty minutes, I sat down on the ground with my tired ass, my breathing sound was like a torn bellows, and it was impossible to think about it after sitting down, my legs and stomach were shaking like cramps, and I had no strength at all.
I listened around and didn't hear the urging sound anymore, and I felt a lot more at ease. But when I looked around in the faint moonlight, I completely collapsed.
At this moment I was slumped on a mound like a grave, four or five meters away from me, surrounded by a group of snakes, and surrounded me to death. Each one raised its neck and stared at me with a letter spitting out, a large patch of flowers. I shrank in panic and kept myself as far away from the snakes as I could.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly looked back to see a large group of snakes spitting letters behind me, all staring at me. At this time, I already felt the breath of death, not to mention the venom of these snakes, even if every snake bit me, I could be bitten into a sieve.
Suddenly, the snakes retreated, about a meter away, and when I saw it, I was immediately happy. I thought to myself, "Maybe they don't dare come near here, but if that's the case, I'll just stay until dawn and someone will come to my rescue." ”
Children's thoughts are often simple, and I didn't realize until now that the snakes that retreated, their cold eyes were full of fear, and they were all trembling on the ground.
Before I could breathe, I felt a chill in the back of my head, and I wanted to be licked by something. I hurriedly turned my head to look, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of me.
Behind me, an arm-thick red snake appeared, its scales as if it had been stained with blood. What frightened me even more was that the snake was floating in the air, not crawling on the ground, with a pair of hideous fins on its neck and a bulging blood bag on top of its head.
What is this, a snake that flies and has fins? Is that a flying snake?
I was already cold at this time, my limbs were no longer obedient, I wanted to stand up, but my legs didn't react at all, the snake was still looking at me gloomily, and the red eyes suddenly became a little bigger, and the color gradually darkened.
I breathe with a feeling of oppression now, and I look at the scene in front of me with a look of horror. My grandmother, is this snake a sperm? I've heard old people say before that snakes are spiritual, and they all practice in the mountains, and they will eventually turn into dragons.
But how do I know this now, and suddenly with a thud, the letter spit out by the snake slashed across the tip of my nose, and I immediately felt a cold and bloody smell. I hurriedly looked up, and at this time, the snake's eyes had turned crimson, red like blood, full of resentment and coldness. I took one look and passed out.
I slept for two days and two nights, and in my dreams I was always staring at the flying snake, and those red eyes made my heart hairy, but no matter how I ran, I always looked up and saw it. I cried and ran all the way, I don't know how long, and finally I couldn't get up on the ground, and I woke up.
I thought I was going to die, but when I opened my eyes and saw my grandfather, I instantly felt a sense of peace of mind, and my grandfather angrily raised his hand to give me a mouthful, but in the end he couldn't get down and held me in his arms.
As for how I survived, my grandfather didn't say a word, and finally I was annoyed by my question, so he told me that it was a Teng snake, the king of snakes. The bulging red envelope on the snake's head has dragon horns inside, and when they cultivate to a certain level, the dragon horns will burst through the red envelopes and grow. That night, except for me, the rest of the four people died, and their bodies were all covered with snake-bitten holes, and they were all blue-black.
This incident left a huge shadow on me, and I feel panicked when I see the scales now.
There is such a snake here, and I have a spirit on me, and I hurriedly turned around and was about to tell the fat man about them, but when I turned around, I saw that the fat man was raising his hand, and he was about to greet Qin Feng on the ground.
