Chapter 22
"Snake!" Qiang Shun suddenly exclaimed.
I saw that the snake that came in through the crack in the door, red, yellow, green, flowery, green, and countless people, and our faces suddenly changed, and we had never seen so many snakes.
In our hometown, there are two kinds of snakes, one is a large snake, the thickest can be the thickness of an egg, and it is more than a meter long; A kind of small snake, less than a foot long, only the thickness of the little thumb, we call this kind of small snake "Xiao Qi Jiao'er", it is said that this kind of "Xiao Qi Jiao'er" is poisonous, because it is small, if it is not poisonous, it will not catch the prey, however, this kind of small snake in our place I have only seen the yellow one, right now, these are all colors, and after a while, a large group of people came in from the crack in the door, and it was disgusting to watch.
At this time, the "little Qi scurryers" were like crazy, scrambling, and if they couldn't squeeze in, they had to squeeze, and after a while, the ground at the door was paved for the little snake.
We all looked stupid, Chen Hui pulled the man next to him and shouted: "Come into the house!" ”
Only then did a few people react, and they all ran into the house. The man entered the house and turned around to close the door, but was stopped by Chen Hui, who said to me and Qiang Shun: "Take out the cigarettes on your bodies and smoke them quickly." ”
Tobacco can prevent snakes, especially the kind of cigarette butt that has been smoked, soak it in water for a few days, and wipe the soaked water on the top of the snake's head, you can choke the snake to death, I haven't tried this, and I don't know if it's true or not, but the snake is afraid of herbs, it's true, especially the water that has been soaked in the butt of the cigarette, after splashing on the ground, don't talk about snakes, nothing goes forward.
Qiang Shun and I quickly took out our cigarettes and squatted at the door, but we smoked vigorously, and all the ash from the cigarettes bounced to the door.
At this time in the yard, the little snakes are still squeezing in through the crack in the door, and most of the yard has been paved, how many there are, I don't know how many they are, anyway, they are scary, just like laying a layer of flowers in the courtyard, it looks disgusting and worrying.
After a while, the snakes covered the whole yard, and stopped when they came to the door, probably because they were really afraid of the smell of smoke, but I soon found out that their target was not us, it was the incense case, just because of the panic, I forgot to collect the things on the incense case, including the water bowl containing the female ghost.
I saw these little guys, around the incense case in a circle, after a few circles, actually with the body around the table legs, a little bit on the table, it is said that the snake will go up the tree, but never seen, this time can be regarded as an eye-opener.
After a while, the legs of the table were full of thick circles, and the four legs were full of small snakes, and they were full of flowers.
I heard Chen Hui say at this time: "These snakes seem to be coming for that female ghost." Immediately, he asked the man, "Who have you offended, and where are the little couple who sell vegetables?" ”
The man was already frightened at this time, and replied: "The southerners and southerners seem to be from the Guizhou area." ”
During the conversation, there were already a few small snakes that climbed on the incense case, really said to Chen Hui, they were really going towards the female ghost, I saw a few small snakes go straight to the water bowl, quickly slid to the water bowl, with the thickness of the little thumb of the body to plate the water bowl, want to overturn the water bowl, of course a few little snakes can't, followed closely, and a few more, after a while, more and more, the incense case was soon full, knocking over the Sanqing tablets, all of them were rushing to the water bowl.
"Bang", the water bowl for them to lift from the table to the ground, the ground at this time is also full of snakes, the bowl fell down and hit several, the bowl did not break, but the water in the bowl all spilled out, the yellow paper also fell out, the snake on the ground quickly went to arch the yellow paper, the yellow paper was soaked in the water, to them such an arch, soon to arch into paper slag foam.
After the yellow paper was broken, I saw one of the little red snakes rolling and writhing, as if it had been poisoned by eating something unclean, and all the snakes around it suddenly dispersed, sizzling and spitting letters around it.
We could see clearly in the house, the little red snake tossed for a while, and then it didn't move, and I thought it was dead, but who knows, and raised its head sharply, and the head of the snake was at us, and spat out the letter.
At this time, I felt that it was no longer a snake, and the aura emitted by the whole body was different. I whispered to Qiang Shun, "Get your yin and yang eyes out and look at that little red snake." ”
Qiang Shun was very unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Do you think these snakes are not scary enough, and you want to tell me to open your yin and yang eyes to scare me." ”
I said, "No, I want you to see if the female ghost is attached to the snake, I heard my grandmother say when I was a child, some ghosts can be attached to animals." ”
Qiang Shun shook his head, "I won't open it if I die!" ”
At this moment, the little red snake moved, looked at us, and slid towards the door.
Qiang Shun is not stupid, the little red snake behaved abnormally, he also saw it, and asked me: "Yellow River, what does this little Qi'er want to do?" ”
I said, "It must have been attached to the female ghost, what do you want to do, you want to go into the house to take revenge, you look at it, it won't be afraid of the smell of smoke in our hands." ”
Strange to say, where the little red snake slipped to, the snake in front of it quickly gave way to it, and after a while, the little red snake came to the door of the house.
Chen Hui was behind us with the men at this time, I couldn't see the expressions on their faces, and I was probably surprised by the snake's actions, so I heard Chen Hui ask me: "Huang He, what did you just say, the female ghost is attached to this snake." ”
I glanced back at Chen Hui, and took a look at the man as well, Chen Hui seemed very calm, the man was a little nervous, and his face was a little pale.
I replied, "I've heard my grandmother say that some ghosts can also possess beasts to take revenge......
Before I could finish my sentence, Qiang Shun tugged at my arm, "Don't say it, it's about to come in, think of a way." ”
I turned my head and saw that the little red snake had already arrived at the door, and the other snakes were hiding far away, leaving an open space for it at the door.
However, the little red snake did not rush into the house, stopped at the door of the room and spit out letters at us, a pair of small eyes coldly swept back and forth a few of us, maybe it felt that a few of us were not easy to deal with, and had already caught it twice.
Qiang Shun whispered to me again, "Huang He, you should think of a way." ”
I glanced at him, what could I do, turned back to the man and said, "Is there a long broom or something in the house, find it for me, I'll knock it to death." ”
The man suddenly showed a sad expression, probably scared. , Chen Hui waved his hand at him, preventing the man from letting him go looking for something. In fact, when I say this, I just want to scare and scare the little red snake at the door, and I really brought the broom or something over and told me to knock it, and I really can't do it.
Suddenly, there was a string of whistles, from nowhere, sharp and thin, like a flute made of bamboo.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the snakes suddenly retreated like a low tide, and they all got out of the crack in the door, and I felt that the little red snake at the door did not want to leave, but it seemed to be a little involuntarily, and still left.
The snakes retreated, and several of us were immediately relieved, thinking about the situation just now, it was like a dream, until now, until now, until now I think about it, I still feel like a dream, I have never seen so many snakes when I grow so big.
What the whistle was about, no one could tell, a few of us came out of the house, I went to the courtyard gate with Qiang Shun, opened the courtyard gate and looked into the alley, none of the snakes were gone, the alley was empty, as if the snakes had never appeared.
When we turned around, we saw Chen Hui squatting in front of the water bowl, looking at the water bowl, and the man was standing next to him.
I walked over to take a look, I saw two small snakes pressed under the water bowl, when the snake group retreated, these two snakes have not moved, take a closer look, it turned out that the water bowl hit the head, has died, such a big water bowl fell from a height of more than one meter, smashed the head of the small snake, it is estimated that the bones are smashed, it is strange not to die.
Chen Hui squatted in front of the two snakes and looked at them for a while, I didn't know what he was looking at, so he asked, "Dao Chief, what are you looking at, these two snakes are dead." ”
Chen Hui didn't speak, and I said again: "Dao Chief, shouldn't we go back, the female ghost has attached to the little red snake, and we won't send her again." ”
When I said "go back", I meant going home, and Chen Hui nodded after hearing this, "Go back." ”
I'm very happy, Chen Hui really agreed this time.
Chen Hui stood up and asked the man to find a bag at home, and put the two dead snakes in the bag, I looked at it, this is very strange, what are you doing with two dead snakes, explain to the man, let him bury it.
Subsequently, Chen Hui said goodbye to the man, and the man asked Chen Hui if the female ghost would come back, and without waiting for Chen Hui to answer, I hurriedly said: "I won't come back, as long as the ghost is attached to the beast, it will never come out again." ”
However, before the man could speak, Chen Hui looked at me in surprise and asked, "Really?" ”
I quickly nodded, "Really, I've seen it once in the past." ”
Chen Hui looked at me and nodded in disbelief, I secretly swallowed my saliva, I was talking nonsense with my eyes open, I just wanted to go home early, this place is really tired and crooked.
The man was very happy to hear this, and the female ghost would not come back, so he thanked us again and again.
Leaving the man's house, Chen Hui led us directly to the south, I saw that this direction was wrong, the direction of the house was in the north, and where was this going to the south.
I couldn't help but ask Chen Hui, "Dao Chief, where are we going, aren't we going home?" ”
Chen Hui glanced back at me, "Let's look back first." ”
"Why?"
Chen Hui said coldly: "Do you think you can fool me? Ghosts can come out of the body of beasts, and after we leave, female ghosts will go to men's houses to make trouble. ”
I pursed my lips and said unhappily: "Dao Chief, didn't you say that you don't want to wade into the troubled waters of the common family, why do you still want to care, whether the female ghost goes to the man's house or not." ”
Chen Hui looked at me again and asked, "Have you forgotten your family's family motto?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, "That family motto? ”
Chen Hui said as if he was endorsing: "Things are detailed, small are not huge, keep their way, and do things, although there is no merit, but there is no fault." ”
I blinked twice, "Is this our family's motto?" ”
"How could it not be." Chen Hui said: "This is what your old man said when he passed on my master's skills, and the old man said that this is one of your family's family mottos." ”
"Isn't it?" I frowned, "Why haven't I heard my grandmother talk about this family?" Besides, what do you mean by that? ”
