Chapter 141: Fighting Vipers
The snake was coiled around my calf, with that bright red pattern, and I was too scared to move, and if it was in the mood to take such a bite on my leg, I guess I wouldn't be able to take five steps, and I would have to hang up.
I heard the people of the old generation say, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, don't leave immediately, you must stay in place, if you encounter a poisonous snake, you can die within five steps, when I was a child, it sounded very mysterious, now I think about it quite scientifically, the more you exercise, the poison in the blood will naturally spread faster, and the attack will be faster.
I kept my calves still and looked down at the snake, its triangular eyes staring at the porridge bowl all the time, as if it wasn't that interested in my body.
Could it be that this porridge has snake bait in it that interests snakes? The snake in the pool, will it? I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and subconsciously slowly looked back, and sure enough, six or seven snakes had crawled out of the snake pool, and a few of them were showing their heads at the mouth of the pool, ready to go.
My scalp was cold, and if all the snakes had been killed at once, I wouldn't have hung up sooner.
By the way, porridge, I stayed here for so long, the snakes didn't climb out, and as soon as this bowl of porridge appeared, all the snakes were eager to try.
I don't know where I got the courage, so I waved my arm holding the porridge and threw the porridge bowl into the snake pool.
Just as the porridge bowl was thrown into the snake pool, the red snake on the calf slowly retreated from my body.
The six or seven snakes that had already climbed out of the pool also quickly turned around and returned to the direction of the pool, and the red snakes that had been probing at the mouth of the pool just now also stopped crawling out.
I sat still, my heart was pounding, my head was blank, and I was a little afraid, if I drank this bowl of porridge, and the snakes climbed up—
I couldn't imagine that thanks to the fast movement of the red snake crawling on my calf, otherwise, I might have already eaten this bowl of porridge.
A row of grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart, this person is too insidious, although I was confused for a while just now, but the time is definitely not long, it is impossible to reach three days, so early I was baited by a snake, and it is too untrustworthy.
The bowl of porridge was still grumbling with hunger, and the aroma of this bowl of porridge was a great temptation for me, but according to the current situation, even if more food was delivered, I would not dare to enjoy it, because I really did not want to be a good meal for these poisonous snakes.
I stood by the pool, observing the movements of the vipers, who were voracious eaters, and the bowl of porridge was eaten by them in a short time, but fortunately, they did not climb up again after drinking the porridge.
As the minutes passed, it was very uncomfortable to be alone in an empty room, and my nerves were filled with loneliness and terror, sleepy, tired and tired, and I did not dare to fall asleep easily, for fear that while I was asleep, the snakes would climb up again.
This porridge was brought in three times by the guards, and I threw it into the snake pond without dropping.
For the first time, I experienced the feeling of being alone, in this dungeon-like stone house, with only a pool of snakes and two candles with me, and my mind was constantly thinking about it, as if I had recalled all the experiences I had from the time I could remember to the present, and more than once, the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became.
I don't know when, two lines of tears have slipped from the corners of my eyes, and there is a lot of pain in my heart, a young man who came out of the countryside and was admitted to the university through his own efforts, vainly trying to graduate and work in the hukou, and then prolong his life, why did he get into so many troubles for no reason.
Not only was I unlucky, but I also lost my life to the shaman, the proprietress and Luo Hua, and when will I be able to repay this unjust debt, even if I put my own next life on board, it will not be enough.
In a trance, I seemed to see the woman who appeared in the uncle's tomb, with red clothes and a brass bell-like laughter, holding my hand and walking in the field full of flowers, with a piece of blood jade hanging from her neck, and suddenly a big flood came, drowning everything, and the woman's face gradually became blurred, and scarlet blood flowed from the corners of her eyes.
I still remember the envious gaze of all the men in the village when I saw the female corpse for the first time, and her appearance made me know for the first time that there is a beauty that can pass through death and fear.
Where the hell are you? I sighed, it was because of this woman that I embarked on the road of no return, it has been so long, I am really worried that she will be havoc, rotten and turned into a pile of bones.
In fact, I knew in my heart that the scene just now was just a hallucination caused by hunger and poverty, and if it continued like this, I really didn't know how long I could last.
Time passed, and the two candles were almost burned out, and the candlesticks were covered with wax and oil.
It was these two candles that caught my attention, they seemed to be different from the ones we usually use, and they seemed to burn more slowly.
I suddenly remembered something, I remember when I first opened my eyes, these two candles had just been lit, and now they are almost burning, could it be that this candle burned for a long time? It's a three-day limit.
Will Zhai Tao come to me to talk about his deal when the candle goes out?
If my inference about candles is not wrong, it turns out that before I know it, I have passed three days, and if Zhai Tao enters the door, how can I trade with him.
Just when I was at a loss, I vaguely heard a voice outside the door, but the voice was too small for me to hear clearly, and I was not in the mood to go to the door to listen, thinking that it might be the dead professor who had sent me to fix me.
After a while, the door suddenly opened, and a man entered, judging by her figure, a woman.
She was wearing black clothes all over her body, her face was also covered with a black cloth, only two black eyes were exposed, the candle flame in the room was no longer obvious, I really couldn't see her appearance clearly, maybe she had been in the dark for a long time, and her eyesight was affected.
Just as I was about to speak to her, she reached out and made a "shhhhh
Is this person a good person or a bad person, what does it mean that this person will come in?
I stood up, stumbled and fell down again, it turned out that all my physical strength had been consumed in the past three days, and it was estimated that I had low blood sugar for a long time.
The woman grabbed me by the arm, and I took it to the edge of the snake pool, and I thought to myself what this man meant.
Could it be that seeing that I didn't drink porridge, he wanted to throw me into the snake pool, and a cold sweat broke out on my back.
Should I resist or not, although I am a big man, but after all, I haven't entered the rice for three days, and I haven't closed my eyes, she just lifted me up, and now it's a problem to even stand firm, if I really fight it alone, I'm definitely not her opponent.
But when she dragged me just now, she didn't pinch me very hard, and I felt a little tenderness.
I didn't dare to speak, so I saw her take out a small bottle from her pocket, uncork it, and she directly picked up the bottle and poured it down the wall of the pool around her.
I could see that the bottle was filled with white powder.
The hundred and ten snakes in the pool immediately gathered around the pool, forming an empty area in the middle.
Do you want to put me in the middle of this position and feed me slowly?
My heart was beating all the time, and I didn't know what this woman would do with me.
I saw that she shook a stone on the side of the pool, and then the stone in the pool, which was not full of poisonous snakes, slowly moved to the two sides, revealing a hole the size of a manhole cover.
She held up my hand and wrote a word on the palm of my hand with her index finger, "Go"!
Wait a minute, I'm in a trance, could it be that this woman is here to save me?
I looked at her, but I didn't dare to act, what if there were more poisonous snakes or something more terrifying in this pool?
Seeing that I didn't move, she seemed to be in a little anxious, and pushed me into the snake pool, and inside the cave was a long stone bench, and I walked down the stone bench, and looked up at the entrance of the cave, and the two stone slabs at the entrance of the cave were slowly closing.
At the moment when the slate was closed, the woman slowly lifted the mask covering her face, and when I saw her face, I gasped, it was actually her.
