This Nine Insect Mountain is full of insects, although there are many insects, but the species are extremely limited, there are only five species, namely centipedes, toads, scorpions, snakes and spiders, these five kinds of poisonous insects are all over the Nine Insect Mountain, so the Nine Insect Mountain is also called the Five Poisonous Mountain by some people.

The village is at the foot of the Nine Insects Mountain, so there will be a large number of insects going out every night, and the village is not spared, often crawling on the streets and walls of houses full of poisonous insects, so this village has a rule, every night will be closed, especially in the spring, summer and autumn seasons, the activities of poisonous insects are more rampant. It's winter, but compared to the north, Yunnan's climate is still relatively warm, and poisonous insects rarely hibernate, but they are not as active as in summer. If it weren't for serious events such as funerals, the people of the village would still follow the customary rule of not going out at night.

When Wu Zhiyuan heard this, he understood what Moon Shadow Fuxian had said before he arrived in the village, and it turned out that this was the reason why the village closed its doors when it was dark. These five poisonous insects all like a shady and humid environment, although the sunlight during the day is not enough to cause fatal damage to them, but it is a kind of fear for them, so the number of poisonous insects in the village during the day is not much, and only at night will appear on a large scale.

The old village chief paused, looked at several middle-aged people around him, and finally fell on the woman who brought Wu Zhiyuan to the ancestral hall, sighed and continued to narrate what happened.

Although this village is located at the foot of the Nine Insects Mountain, poisonous insects are commonplace, but the villagers are rarely bitten by poisonous insects, so since the establishment of this village, it has been peaceful.

But just yesterday evening, a sudden event broke the peace between the village and the Nine Worms Mountain. [A lot of good novels]

The woman who brought Wu Zhiyuan to the ancestral hall is called Ah Feng, and her husband Brother Qiao was newly married for less than two months, and yesterday evening, Brother Qiao dug up a few winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest behind the village. This brother is also a person who has lived here for generations, so he naturally understands the rules of closing the door after dark. At this time, seeing that the sun was waning, he packed up his things and prepared to go home, but before he got out of the bamboo forest, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

The people are very clever, and with many years of experience in the mountains and wilderness, they know that this sound is definitely not the sound of the wind, but should be made by a large beast stepping on the ground. There are a lot of poisonous insects in this Jiulong Mountain, and no one usually dares to go up the mountain, so no one can say clearly what kind of beasts are inside.

In this situation, Brother Qiao didn't dare to look back at the source of the sound, and without hesitation, he accelerated his pace and ran in the direction of the village. However, after only two steps, he heard a muffled grunt suddenly from behind him. Brother Qiao quickly stopped, because he heard that the muffled humming was a human voice.

At this time, the sun has been hidden behind the western mountain, leaving only a dark red sunset in the sky, and in a moment, night will fall.

Brother Qiao's heart was pure, thinking that it was winter at this time, the poisonous insects were more lazy, and there were fewer poisonous insects in the village at night, so he decided to go back and see who made the noise.

Thinking of this, Brother Qiao clenched his hoe, strengthened his courage, and walked in the direction of the sound.

This bamboo forest is as old as the village, so it is very dense, and the tallest bamboo even has the potential to reach the sky. The voice didn't sound again just now, and Brother Qiao bypassed a few bamboos by impression, and saw a person lying faintly in the pile of bamboo leaves not far away.

This bamboo forest is born to grow, drinking rainwater, eating rotten bamboo leaves, so the bamboo forest is full of fallen leaves, if it weren't for Brother Qiao's bright eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't see a person in that pile of bamboo leaves.

Brother Qiao hurriedly walked over and found that the man was wearing a black robe on his upper body, black trousers on his lower body, and even the waistband of his trousers was black. He was lying on his stomach in the pile of bamboo leaves, face down, his face could not be seen, and Brother Qiao could not know who this person was. So he crouched down and turned the man's body over on the spot, and when he looked closely, it was an unfamiliar face. The man was about forty or fifty years old, with gray hair and a beard, and he looked very old.

Life is at stake, Brother Qiao didn't think much about it, tried his snort, felt that he still had a trace of breath, and carried him back to his home.

This is a big deal in the village, and Brother Qiao wanted to find the village chief and the barefoot doctor of the village to discuss it again, but it was getting late at this time, and according to the rules of the village, it was useless to knock on the door at this time, and no one would open the door for him. In desperation, he had no choice but to place this stranger in his own home first, and take care of him, hoping that he would survive until dawn the next day.

The man's breathing was weak, and it seemed that he only had breath in and not out. Brother Qiao's daughter-in-law, Ah Feng, began to complain about him, saying that he shouldn't have carried a dying stranger home, in case this person died here in such an unknown way, jumping into the Yellow River and not being able to wash it. At this time, Brother Qiao also began to regret a little, but the matter has come to this point, he can't leave the house again, in order to appease Ah Feng, he asked Ah Feng to go to sleep first, and he guards this stranger, once something happens, he can find out in time.

The first half of the night was very peaceful, and Brother Qiao's eyes never left the man, but in the second half of the night, he couldn't stay up, sleepiness hit his heart, his eyelids kept fighting, and in the end, he fell asleep against the side of the bed unconsciously.

I don't know how long I slept this time, Brother Qiao only knew that he had a dream, dreaming that he was holding his daughter-in-law Ah Feng on the bed, the daughter-in-law's skin was slippery, cool, and felt very wonderful, and he couldn't bear to let go, just when he lay on Ah Feng to do the husband and wife's things, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, the smell was fishy and smelly, disgusting.

In the dream, Brother Qiao covered his mouth and was about to vomit, at this moment, he woke up suddenly, but the first scene he saw after opening his eyes suddenly made him break out in a cold sweat.

I saw who was lying on the bed, it was actually a big snake with the thickness of an arm, the big snake was twisting the snake body, the snake's head was slightly lowered, and the snake hyacinth swallowed and spit out, but a pair of black eyes looked directly at Brother Qiao.

Brother Qiao has seen such a large snake in his life, but it is the first time in his life that he has faced it so closely, and it is in his own bed.

For a moment, he was so frightened that he suddenly sat unsteadily, screamed, and fell from the side of the bed to the ground. In fact, he is not afraid of the big snake, and he also knows some ways to fight the snake, even if it is extremely poisonous in five steps, he can usually deal with it carefully, but because he has just woken up from his sleep and sees such a scene that is completely different from the dream, it really can't make him come back to his senses in a short time.

He thought that the big snake would suddenly catapult up from the bed and attack him, but to his surprise, the big snake actually made another move.
