Chapter 193: A Foreign Object Falls from the Sky

He has today, and he doesn't know who he should thank at all, whether he should thank Zhang Daojun, Jiufeng, or the golden python. He didn't believe that Jiufeng would harm him, but I was afraid that I would only know this answer when I had the opportunity to meet Jiufeng again next time. Whatever the case is, one thing is certain, that is, he Jiang Chenghuan is destined to be inextricably linked with snakes in this life.

So, why is he inextricably linked with snakes in this life, this should be a difficult mystery to solve. Hehe, in fact, no one can answer this question comprehensively, but an encounter with Jiang Chenghuan when he was a child may be able to explain this problem.

What happened? That is, the colorful house snake that fell from the sky and scared Jiang Chenghuan half to death.

It was when he was in elementary school, and one evening, he was playing with the colorful pebbles he had picked up from the river on the table in the hall, and piled up the pebbles on the table into various models according to his ideas, such as overpasses, ditches, sewers, etc., and played so intently that he completely forgot about the world around him. Suddenly, he felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and at the same time there was a mountain sound, and with this mountain sound, there was a splash in front of him. Suddenly, like a diver, he was suddenly disturbed by an accident, and involuntarily took a deep breath and filled his stomach with water, choked on the water of his nose, and the whole person was completely awake. He trembled involuntarily all over his body, quickly stood up, kept blinking his hazy eyes, and instinctively covered them with his hands.

Ah, what's going on?

A black shadow slammed heavily on the table, impartially, just on the model of the tunnel that he had finally piled up, and how big the movement was, you can imagine. Suddenly, the stone flowers splashed everywhere, smashing a tunnel model to pieces, and falling to the ground with a noisy sound without the slightest sense of music.

It's scary, it's no different from a bolt from the blue.

What frightened him even more was when he calmed down. When all the noise had died down, and he finally opened his eyes and looked around, there was a behemoth on the table that was close by, and it was trembling towards it.

"Oh my god, snake!"

He panicked in his heart and screamed uncontrollably. At the same time, he retreated several steps backwards until he reached the base of the wall. The big flower snake was holding its shiny head high, spitting out letters at him, and breathing "flutter, flutter", as if it was about to attack him and devour him, and he was immediately frightened and mad.

This is the first time in his life that he has been frightened by a snake, and at the same time, it is also the second time in his short life that he has been frightened.

At that time, he couldn't imagine that a big snake more than one meter long would fall from the beam of the house at home, and no one could imagine that no one could control the situation. He didn't know what it was called, in fact, he knew almost all snake species.

Later, he finally figured out that this is the cauliflower snake, commonly known as the house snake, this snake is also called the king snake, or the king python, which has many different names, and often goes in and out of the house to catch mice. It is a non-venomous snake species that preys on rats, frogs, and chicks, and is often found in old-fashioned buildings in rural areas. This snake, although it has a fierce temperament, does not actively attack humans, so it is also a snake species that many people keep in their homes.

However, because the appearance of this snake looks very fierce, it is still quite scary, especially when a child sees it, there is no reason not to be afraid.

It is reasonable that there are snakes in this kind of house, because this is an ancient building allocated during the land reform, and due to disrepair, it has long been full of holes and cracks, scattered, and it is normal to get into a snake or some other animal. Although Jiang Chenghuan does not know the specific age of this house and what its provenance is, it is estimated that it should be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty at least.

It is for this reason that I usually don't bother to clean it up and let it go, so it is even easier to hide something.

What's more, although this house is dilapidated, it has a different style from ordinary buildings, large, and empty, with attics, balconies, and various carvings, and certain architectural characteristics, obviously it was a large family at the beginning.

On the front of the building, there is a wide and magnificent courtyard, according to the most fashionable saying at the time, you can park more than a dozen buses at the same time, the whole house is a two-story attic with a four-bay structure of blue bricks and tiles, in addition to the courtyard, there are patios, pavilions, carved corridors and other auxiliary facilities. Entering from the main entrance, there is a lobby with a patio, which is 100 square meters square, which is very magnificent. The ground is smooth and black, and on top of it, there is a square lattice with two straight lines, which is made of glutinous rice paste mixed with lime and other materials masonry and polishing. The base of the wall is made of granite strips about one zhang long, and there is a ventilation design similar to a plum blossom-shaped hole in the middle of the granite strips. Leaning on the back, it is the all-wood to the top of the wall, the wall is inlaid with gilded pairs, but it has long been mottled and faintly not seen, obviously some years. The upstairs are all made of wood, and you can climb up the wooden stairs behind the wall with a clanging sound. At one end of the patio is a half-height handrail observation deck that overlooks the entire lobby and, of course, the vast sky through the patio.

There is no doubt that the lobby is the main part of the building, the main place where the owner is sent to decorate the façade, and, apparently in the old days, the opulence and aroma are everywhere, but now the lobby has long since lost its proper function, and has become an almost unused aisle, surrounded by a mess of furniture and sundries such as hoes, dustpans, wood, pots and barrels.

This old and dilapidated building, in addition to Jiang Chenghuan's family, at the same time, there are two other families, living on the left side of the lobby, and behind the wall, Jiang Chenghuan's house is sold on the right side of the lobby. On both sides of the lobby, behind the walls, are the rooms, including the side rooms, the transept rooms, and the side rooms, which are now functioning and are being divided between the three families.

The lobby effectively became a shared passage and clutter gathering place for three households.

The front compound has long since degenerated into a vegetable garden shared by three families.

By now, everyone should know the situation of this house, it is precisely because of this situation that who would want to spend this unjust money to repair it, not to mention, this is just a house with the right to live in and no ownership. Of course, the lack of spare money for repairs is also an important factor. In that era when food and clothing were the highest goal of life, no one had any money to spare. (To be continued.) )
