Chapter 17: Teeth

After hearing the news, the blind man Wang was on pins and needles, and once he was found out, he, a foreigner, would also suffer!

Fortunately, my house is in the outermost part of the village, and before I can find it, it will be dark, and the search will be stopped, and it will continue tomorrow. He stayed at home until late at night, and after the villagers had rested, they were about to carry the female corpse away, when the girl came with her little leopard.

After hearing the news, the blind man was frightened, and followed the female corpse on his back out to pick me up, but because his legs and feet were not good, he fell behind.

After listening to the blind man's story, I fell silent.

I've seen that Taoist's ability, he is definitely a master, he said that the disaster in the village was caused by my mother, can you believe it?

In fact, I used to have a similar conjecture, but since I determined that she was my dearest relative, I have a natural resistance to this, and I don't want to think about it in my heart, and now I can't help but be gloomy when I am mentioned again......

"What if...... I mean, if ......" I took my mother's body in my arms and asked with difficulty, "If the disaster in the village is really caused by my mother, will you hand her over?" ”

The blind man was stunned by my question, and then shook his head, not sure; "Probably not, right? You her...... It doesn't look like a vicious person, and it shouldn't hurt anyone, besides......"

After a while, the blind man couldn't go on.

I can see that the blind man Wang actually has no ability, and he should not be a true Taoist, and he does not regard the demon eradication and defense as a matter of responsibility, to put it bluntly, he is just a mixed meal. If it happens again, I'm sure he'll still escape with my mother.

"How can a corpse harm someone?"

The two of us were relatively speechless, and there was a word next to us, it was the girl. She didn't seem to be taboo about my mother's corpse at all, and said disdainfully: "There may be demons in the world, and they all come from the hearts of the people, and they talk about evil, and the living are much more evil than the dead." ”

These words came to my heart, and I couldn't help but have a good impression of this girl.

"By the way, who the hell are you looking for?" I raised the question again, Aconitum Village has arrived, and whoever she is here to find, she has to go to whom's house.

The next moment, the girl made an unexpected move, she raised her left hand, stretched out her slender index finger, and pointed at the tip of my nose, "I'm here to find you!" ”

I'm dizzy!

I was really dizzy, I was stunned by her, "Who are you?" Why did you come to me? I don't even know you. ”

I'm no one in this world, oh...... The only loved one is in my arms. Ding Laogang is a lonely old man, I have followed him for 20 years, and I have never heard of him having relatives, how can anyone come to me?

The girl held the little leopard in her arms and asked seriously: "My name is Jiang Xiaobai, what is your name?" ”

"My name is Ding Xiaoxi......," I replied stupidly.

"That's it." The girl who called herself Jiang Xiaobai sighed, "Aren't we already acquainted now?" ”

"But......" I couldn't turn my mind around, "then we know each other, but what are you looking for me?" ”

The girl stood up, looked at the bright moon, and her expression became gloomy, "Let me tell you the truth, the female corpse in your arms is my sister, and I, your aunt, came to the funeral ......"

I was struck by lightning and almost fell to the ground.

Stabilizing my body, I shivered and pointed to the girl, "You? My aunt! ”

"Hmm." The girl nodded, "Nephew, you have to mourn, people can't be resurrected after death, my sister ......"

"Go, go!" I waved her away, this girl, who looked younger than me, dared to lie that she was my aunt, it was ...... I don't know what to say about her.

The blind man reminded on the side: "It's not too early, let's bury your mother quickly, so as not to cause trouble." ”

When I think about it, it's important to get down to business, and it's not a waste of time to talk to her little girl.

Now that there is a situation in the village, it is even more necessary to bury it.

As soon as I and Wang Blind combined, the coffin was heavy, and coupled with my mother's corpse, the two of us would definitely not be able to carry it, so we could only separate the coffin and the corpse up the mountain.

It's not appropriate to leave the corpse alone under the post or on the post, but there are water monkeys and that monster Zhou Lao Wu here! At this time, the value of the girl Jiang Xiaobai was reflected.

"Since you said that you came to give my mother a funeral, then...... You have to do something, would you rather carry my mother up the mountain on your back, or lift the weight? I asked. The so-called lifting is the coffin that is carried up the mountain.

In fact, there are many rules for sending it up the mountain, such as: a big rooster must be placed on the coffin, four strong men must be carried to carry the coffin, and firecrackers must be blown and blown along the way.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai immediately made a choice, "I can't lift the coffin, so I'll carry your mother." ”

Seeing that I didn't chase her, Jiang Xiaobai no longer pretended to be my aunt...... I gave her a blank look, put my hand in hand with the blind man, and began to carry the coffin.

We didn't have a bamboo pole, we didn't even have a rope, so we had to carry it on our shoulders. Fortunately, the coffin of the cypress wood was not heavy, I looked up, and he lifted his tail, although it was difficult, he could barely carry it.

Carrying the coffin, I took the lead, and a group of three people went to Wutou Gang. Jiang Xiaobai carried my mother on his back, led the little leopard, and walked at the back of the team.

I can't see that she is so petite, and she has no difficulty carrying my mother's corpse. You know, carrying a corpse and carrying a person are completely two different concepts, and I was tired and panicked when I carried it up the mountain.

A group of three people stepped on the bluestone road on the post, winding upward, and I walked all the way in front of the head vigilantly, for fear that Zhou Lao Wu or the water monkey would jump out. However, the road was safe and sound, and I searched while walking, and soon came to the top of the post.

Along the way, I found that the post was already buried, and there was not a single vacancy, only a vacant land on the top. Can only be buried there.

At this time, the moon had risen to the middle of the sky, as big as a wheel, and stood on the top of the hill, as if within reach.

There were no hoes and shovels, but fortunately I had a scythe, and the soil here was very soft, and there were no stones, so it didn't take much effort to dig up.

Wang Blind was already tired and paralyzed, sitting on the side and breathing, it was impossible to count on him, Jiang Xiaobai was a girl, so he could only do it alone.

I opened the lid of the coffin, carried my mother's body inside, and dug the pit alone. There is not much rain here, so there is no need to bury as in the south, just dig five feet deep.

The coffin was put aside, and I began to dig the soil, Jiang Xiaobai held the little leopard in his arms and watched quietly. There was a sound of snoring not far away, and the blind man was probably too tired to fall asleep on the spot.

Digging and digging, I cried again, this feeling of life and death was unstoppable, uncontrollable, tears flowed profusely.

"Don't cry, there will be death in the world, and death may not be the end." Jiang Xiaobai persuaded softly.

I wiped away my tears, pretended to be relaxed and said, "I cried mine, and it didn't get in your way?" Just rest. ”

Everyone understands what she said, but when it comes to the end, she can't bear it at all.

Jiang Xiaobai sighed and stopped talking.

After digging for a while, about the depth was almost enough, I went down with a sickle, and suddenly hit a hard object, making a "clang" sound.

I was stunned, this is the northwest loess, under normal circumstances, the soil is the soil, it is difficult to dig the stones, how can there be hard objects underneath?

I loosened the soil with a scythe and began to push it out of the pit.

My fingers were completely numb until I saw blood dripping out, and I realized that two fingers of my right hand were broken.

I carefully brushed the soil from the bottom of the pit with my left hand, and sure enough, I found something.

It was a diagonally upward cylinder, tube-like, slightly curved, with a tip as sharp as a needle, and it was the thing that had cut my finger just now. I tried to break it, but it didn't move, as if it had been welded to the ground.

Thinking of something, I was shocked, and I fell on the edge of the pit and shouted: "Blind, blind, come and see!" ”

I remember that the blind man Wang said, what kind of Tengjiao Bureau is Wutou Gang, and the opposite of the Wojiao Bureau in Wutou Village, there should also be a well at the top of the gang, is this this thing?

The blind man snored constantly, and no matter how he shouted, he didn't respond, so I simply grabbed a clod of dirt and smashed it over.

The clod of earth hit his buttocks accurately, and the blind man jumped up in fright and looked around in panic, "What's the matter?" The water monkeys are coming?! ”

After seeing that there was no abnormality, the old guy came over dissatisfied and muttered, "Why don't you dig a burying pit, this will also work my old man." ”

Walking to the edge of the pit and seeing the sharp "pillar", the blind man was stunned, "This is ......"

"Is this what you call 'bureau well'?" I asked.

The blind man glared at me, and said angrily: "I'm blind when I'm old, and your eyes are blind when you're young?" Where is this well, it is clearly an ivory; I can't believe that this thing can be dug up, and it is estimated that it will be worth a lot of money......"

In ancient times, the climate here was warm and humid, and elephants were active, and it seems that the blind man thought it was a fossilized ivory. Immediately, however, a different opinion was expressed.

"It's not ivory." Jiang Xiaobai also came over, looked at the pillar, shook his head and said firmly: "No matter what kind of elephant it is, the tusks are much thicker than this." ”

When she said this, we both confirmed in our minds, and sure enough, this thing was much thinner than ivory.

The blind man simply jumped down from the pit, spat on the palm of his hand, wiped it on the tip of the pillar, and then approached to take a closer look.

After the floating dust on the surface is wiped off, the exposed parts are exquisitely clear, with a hint of light blue in the white, as if carved from jade, which is eye-catching.

Looking at it, the blind man's body was shocked, and then he retreated, sat on the ground with his buttocks, his eyes glazed, as if he was greatly frightened, and muttered: "My God, it's really not ivory, this is ...... Snake Fangs! ”

"How is that possible!" I blurted out, "How can there be such a big snake in the world?" ”

Now it is just the tip of the iceberg, this tooth is not a foot long, if this is a snake tooth, then how long should this snake be?!

I couldn't believe it, so I leaned in and looked at it by the moonlight, and as I looked at it, my face changed.

This is indeed a tooth, and the peculiar place is at the tip, where there is a diagonal opening, indicating that the tooth is hollow, that is, it is indeed a snake's fang, and it is also a viper's fang!
