Chapter 469: Bamboo Forest Booby-Trap
The big snake actually twisted its body on the bed, the snake body was close to the mattress, constantly rolling and twisting, the bed was wooden, and with the twisting of the snake body, there were bursts of "squeak" sound from time to time, and the red face and ears were red when I heard it.
After the half-burnt incense time, the big snake gradually stopped writhing, raised its snake head and looked at Brother Qiao, Brother Qiao looked at it, and suddenly shuddered with fright, but the big snake did not embarrass him, but turned the snake head to the door, and at the same time the snake body swam, meandered down from the bed, and crawled out towards the door.
At this time, Brother Qiao saw the length of the big snake, the snake's body was not long, but the body was relatively thick, which was not commensurate with the length. At this time, there was no need to think too much, and when Brother Qiao came back to his senses, the big snake had crawled out of the door and disappeared into the darkness.
Brother Qiao sat on the ground and smoothed out his thoughts, feeling that this matter was a little unusual, how could the dying man in black who he carried back turn into a big snake? Could it be that the man is a snake spirit?
If it is really this kind of demon, then he remembered the location of Brother Qiao's house today, and he will definitely come back to make trouble in the future, and then not only his own family, but also the entire village may not be at peace. The more he thought about it, the more scared he felt, so he hurriedly got up, and saw a firewood knife that he usually used to chop wood next to the door, so he copied it and chased it out without thinking.
In fact, he only saw the big snake crawling into the darkness, and did not see the direction of the big snake's departure, after rushing out of the door, he stopped a little in the night, and suddenly thought of the bamboo forest behind the village, where he found the man in black, and the big snake must have fled back into the bamboo forest.
Thinking of this, he didn't know where he got the courage, so he grabbed the firewood knife and ran to the bamboo forest behind the village.
I don't know how many times this bamboo forest has been walked, but he has always come here during the day, and it is the first time he has seen this bamboo forest at night, and this time when he saw it, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, what he didn't expect was that this bamboo forest seemed so eerie and terrifying at night.
Standing on the edge of the bamboo forest, after a short hesitation, Brother Qiao strengthened his courage and walked into the bamboo forest, he cut down a low bamboo, cut off the side branches, and beat the fallen leaves on the ground with a bamboo pole.
Brother Qiao walked in the bamboo forest aimlessly, because he didn't know where the big snake was hiding, and the place where he found the man in black during the day was no longer available, and the bamboo forest at night was completely different from the daytime.
In this way, Brother Qiao walked farther and farther in the bamboo forest, and when he realized that he had gone far into the bamboo forest, he found that he could no longer find the way he came.
Brother Qiao is shrewd, at this time he knows that blindly looking for it is useless, maybe he will also be trapped in this bamboo forest, although the poisonous insects on the Nine Insects Mountain are not active in this season, but there will still be more or less in this bamboo forest, in case they are bitten, don't want to get out of this bamboo forest.
He crouched down and pondered for a moment, and suddenly it occurred to him that there was a cemetery in the southwest corner of the bamboo forest, where the dead of this village were buried, and all the people of their ancestors had been buried there since the existence of this village. Although it was a bit frustrating to go to the cemetery at night, as long as he found the cemetery, he was sure that he would find his way back to the village.
With this in mind, he stood up and walked straight to the southwest with his sense of direction. If it is on flat land without any obstacles, the sense of direction may be more reliable, but in this bamboo forest, you have to go around the bamboos from time to time, so the direction you initially chose will inevitably go astray, and in the end, Brother Qiao has not been able to find the cemetery, nor has he walked to the edge of the bamboo forest.
He was too tired to walk, so he sat down on the ground and rested. The bamboo forest was very quiet, there was not a sound, not even the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves, which was really a bit bizarre. Sometimes being too quiet can make people feel frightened, but a few shouts can give you courage.
Brother Qiao was just about to let go of his throat and yell, when he suddenly heard a sound from the bamboo forest, his pores swished up, and he listened carefully, and suddenly felt that the sound was very familiar.
It was the sound of digging in the earth, followed by a moment. He often digs bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, so he is very familiar with this sound.
How could anyone dig in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night? Could it be that you came to dig bamboo shoots in the middle of the night? After thinking about it for a while, Brother Qiao felt that this was unlikely, because there was only this one village under the Nine Worms Mountain, and the villagers of this village all strictly followed the rule of not going out at night, and it was impossible for anyone to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest at this time.
And what's the sound of digging in the earth?
Brother Qiao sighed in his heart, clenched the firewood knife, and walked in the direction of the source of the sound.
The sound of digging came one after another, and it seemed very ethereal and very strange in this silent bamboo forest.
Brother Qiao continued to walk forward with the voice, and as the voice became clearer and clearer, he knew that he was getting closer and closer to the place where the voice came from. However, just when he thought he was trying to find out where the voice came from, the voice stopped abruptly, as if he knew that Brother Trick was getting closer, and never appeared again.
Brother Qiao wondered in his heart, and was puzzled, when he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind him, he turned his head suddenly, and was suddenly surprised, only to see the tail of a colorful snake hooked on a bamboo, and the head of the snake bit towards him like a sharp arrow off the string.
In the electric light and stone fire, Brother Qiao waved the firewood knife in his hand, slashed hard in front of him, and happened to cut the head of the big snake, only to hear a muffled sound of "dang", due to a moment of panic, Brother Qiao actually cut the back of the firewood knife on the head of the snake. Because of the excessive force, the firewood knife also flew out of his hand at the same time, fell into the thick fallen leaves, and disappeared without a trace.
Although the force of this blow was extremely strong, it did not seem to cause any damage to the big snake, and the snake's head only shook on the ground a few times, obviously knocked unconscious.
Seeing this, he stepped forward, stepped on the neck of the big snake with his foot, aimed at the snake's head and inserted the bamboo pole in his hand.
This time it happened to be inserted into one of the eyes of the big snake, and the pain made the big snake's tail flick, and it actually broke the hooked bamboo alive, and then shook it hard, and the snake's tail was like a thick whip, pumping on Brother Qiao's back, and rolling him on the ground.
Brother Qiao's head didn't know what it was on, but he felt that it was dark in front of him, so he didn't know anything.
The moment he lost consciousness, he knew that he had made a mistake, and that the big snake in front of him was not the one that had escaped from his home at all.
