When Brother Qiao woke up, it was already noon the next day, Ah Feng didn't see him after getting up in the morning, so he had a premonition that something was wrong, so he mobilized the whole village to look around, and finally found him in the bamboo forest behind the village.

Everyone helped Brother Qiao home, Ah Feng picked up the firewood knife not far from Brother Qiao's fall, and several young adults dragged the big snake back to the village and threw it at the entrance of the village.

After Brother Qiao woke up, his mind has been in a trance, his eyes are foggy, and he doesn't know what to say in his mouth. Ah Feng thought that he was frightened, so he didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch by himself, but after lunch was done, she went back to the room to see that Brother Qiao had hanged himself in the room.

Brother Qiao has a cheerful personality and likes to joke on weekdays, Ah Feng doesn't believe that Brother Qiao will kill himself, but this scene in front of him is vividly displayed in front of her, Ah Feng is a tenacious person, and at this time he couldn't help the sudden blow and cried loudly.

Soon, the whole village knew about Brother Qiao's hanging, and they all gathered at Brother Qiao's house to constantly comfort Ah Feng. Among them, an old man said something like this: "The big snake that Brother Qiao killed last night may be a snake spirit, and now the snake spirit has come to ask for his life, confusing Brother Qiao's mind, so Brother Qiao hanged himself." ”

Hearing these words, everyone's chills rose sharply, and at this moment, a young man rushed in from outside, and the young man's face was pale, and he said breathlessly: "It's not good, outside...... Outside...... The corpse of the big snake outside is gone! ”

Everyone was surprised with an "ah" sound, and they rushed to the entrance of the village, only to see that there was only a long indentation left in the position of the big snake's horizontal corpse before, and there were still a little blood stains on the ground, which was flowing out of the head of the big snake.

The village chief pushed aside the crowd, walked over to take a closer look, and speculated, "That big snake may have been carried away." ”

The crowd suddenly exploded, and everyone said, "Carried away? What's the use of asking for the serpent's carcass? "There are only dozens of families in our village, who will do it?" "Could it be that the big snake didn't die at all and ran away on its own?"

As soon as the village chief raised his hand, the crowd immediately quieted down, only to hear the village chief explain: "The big snake is very long and heavy, you see this long trace on the ground, it is the body of the big snake that was pressed out when it was placed here, if the big snake did not die and ran away, then there should be traces left by its crawling on the ground, but there is nothing here, there is only one possibility, someone carried it away directly." ”

The village chief's reasoning seemed reasonable, and for a while, no one in the crowd raised any objections, but fell silent.

The village chief looked around at the crowd for a week, and said solemnly: "That snake has not even seen the elders in the village, it may be highly poisonous, and the snake meat cannot be eaten at all, if anyone carries it away, don't make a noise, find a place to bury it." With that, he pushed through the crowd and walked out.

Everyone thought that this matter seemed to be over here, and the next thing to be busy with was Brother Qiao's funeral. There is a custom in the village that those who die today must be buried today, and must not wait until the sun rises tomorrow. Regarding this custom, the old people in the village have two sayings, one is to bury as soon as possible, and the other is that if it is delayed to the next day, the next day's sunlight will scatter the soul of the deceased, and he will not be able to report to the underworld and can not enter the reincarnation again. Although there are different accounts, the village has followed this custom for generations and has never violated it.

In the afternoon, the people of the village began to prepare for the aftermath of Brother Qiao, and when everything was ready, it was already close to dusk.

The village chief was anxious about six young people, four of them carried the coffin, and two of them took shovels and other tools, and went to the southwest corner of the bamboo forest behind the village with Ah Feng to bury Brother Qiao.

The village has no requirements for the scale of the funeral, and does not pay attention to the pomp and circumstance of playing, playing and singing, but asking the deceased to be completely buried in the ground, so Ah Feng only prepared some paper money and went on the road with everyone.

The two people holding shovels walked at the back of the team, the four people carrying the coffin walked in the middle, and Ah Feng walked at the front of the team, scattering paper money while walking.

After all, it was a funeral, and the six young people in the team did not have a deep relationship with Brother Qiao, so they were not sad, but it was not suitable to laugh at this time, so no one spoke, only Ah Feng's sobs and everyone's footsteps in the bamboo forest.

Ah Feng walked forward, while scattering paper money into the air, suddenly, she heard a loud "bang" behind her, and quickly turned to look, only to see that the straw rope of the two people in front of her carrying the coffin suddenly broke, the two people were caught off guard, and suddenly fell to the ground, and the two people behind them also lost their heads, and leaned forward with the coffin, almost fell, and the two people holding shovels at the back of the team hurriedly walked up to check the situation of the straw rope together.

Ah Feng also walked over and squatted down to look at the half-cut straw rope that was pressed under the coffin. At this moment, a young man next to him suddenly pointed to the half-cut hemp rope in surprise and said, "Snake! Snake! ”

Ah Feng felt strange, although the bamboo forest was very dim at this time, but the straw rope was made of straw, and the appearance did not look like a snake at all, she grabbed one end of the straw rope, lifted it up, and was about to turn around to explain to the person, but at the moment she turned around, she found that the six people standing next to her seemed to be a little wrong, especially the young man who shouted "snake" just now, at this time, he was actually the same as everyone else, expressionless, looking at Ah Feng with dull eyes.

Although Ah Feng is a woman, her courage is not small, she thought that these young people were deliberately scaring her, so she slowly stood up, glanced at everyone, and said angrily: "Okay, help lift the coffin, the cemetery is in front." ”

But as soon as the words fell, the six people still looked at her with strange expressions, and none of them moved, Ah Feng saw this and was about to step forward to push the young man who was shouting just now, but as soon as she took a step forward, she suddenly felt a chill in her back.

At a glance, she saw a strange scene that she had never seen before.

In addition to herself, there were actually seven people in this team, and the extra one was standing by the coffin at the moment, with his head down, and a pair of miserable white eyes peeking coldly at her from between his hair.
