Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Black Serpent on the Haystack

In the dark, the wooden door was gently pushed open by Liang Ruoyi's feet.

A damp and rotten breath instantly poured out of the room, and I frowned and slowly walked in behind Liang Ruoyi.

"Smack!" "Smack!"

After two sounds, the pighead and I turned on the flashlight in our hands, and two beams of light entered the small room. There were several stacks of hay stacked in the corner of the house, a wooden table in the middle, a small wooden bed on the other, and nothing else.

"Let's rest here!" The Seventh Master stretched out his hand and opened the only window: "Pig Head, and Xiao Gu, you can help make a fire out to drive away the moisture." ”

I answered, picked up some dry wood outside the door with the pig's head, and went back to the house and lit a bonfire, and the whole room instantly became warm.

The pig's head backpack not only brought cooked food and fast food, but also some rice and the like, and made a pot of porridge for everyone, and he took out a pig's foot himself, and ate it with relish.

It's really a pig's head! I drank the hot rice porridge and sighed.

"We should get out of here, right?" Liang Ruoyi glanced at the Seventh Master, and then at the cloth bag monk.

"Well, I should have come out." The seventh master nodded and said: "The direction that the master said is correct, according to the map, we will pass through this forest in the valley, and tomorrow we will go around the halfway up the mountain, and we should be able to see a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides, and Li Yu's tomb is very likely to be there." Everyone has an early rest after eating, and the road tomorrow may be more difficult. ”

After dinner, I glanced at my phone, the signal was very weak, sent a message to Xiaoxiao, and got up and started to find a place to sleep.

The haystacks were so damp that we couldn't sleep at all, so we just gathered around the fire, took out a coat and spread it on the ground, and just lay down and slept. The pig's head was unwilling to compromise, saying that he would not be able to sleep well and would not be energetic, so he moved the small single bed by himself, baked it on the fire for a while, and lay down on it to sleep.

The time had come to more than nine o'clock in the evening, and after walking for a day, as soon as I lay down and stretched, a wave of sleepiness suddenly hit, and I felt a little sore all over my body. I simply leaned against the edge of the pig's head wooden bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep......

I don't know how long it took, but I didn't hold my head, tilted to the side, and woke up slowly. I squinted at the time, it was already past five o'clock in the morning. It was still pitch black outside, and nothing could be seen.

"Whew......" I let out a long breath, my throat was a little dry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and saw that everyone else was asleep, and I was ready to sleep a little longer.

The moment I closed my eyes, I suddenly saw a light flash in a corner. The fire was still burning, and the whole room was lit up yellow......

I froze for a moment, thinking what is that place? How can there be reflections?

Driven by curiosity, I opened my eyes again, and this time before I could look at it, I suddenly saw a vague figure through the half-hidden window opposite!

This startled me, and I held my breath to look closely, but because it was too dark, I couldn't tell who the person was, but at this moment, I felt a chill in the back of my head, and the figure slowly left, and I saw a miserable little white face!

Yes, it's the blood baby on the old woman of Lotus Mountain!

According to my calculations, the old woman was almost three feet away from me, and if it weren't for the little face of the blood baby, I wouldn't have been able to see it in the dark. How could this old woman be here?! A few days ago in Miao Village in southern Yunnan, this old woman had followed us, and secretly released a secret weapon to Qingyue Daoist, why is she here now?!

After a few blinks of an eye, the chill at the back of her head disappeared, and the old woman left with the blood baby.

I didn't alarm anyone, at least this old woman didn't have any ill will towards me, and she saved me once, I guess she came for Xiu'er's seniors?

I was stunned for a moment, smiled wryly, and prepared to sleep a little longer.

After closing his eyes, he didn't feel sleepy anymore, and suddenly remembered the reflection in the corner before, and opened his eyes to look at it again.

In that corner was the largest haystack, almost half a foot wide and nearly a foot high, almost on top of the roof. I don't know why the previous owner put such a large haystack in the house.

I don't know how many years the grass has been here, most of it is dark yellow, and some of it is black. I turned my head to look at the haystack and looked up and down, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Am I dazzled? I grinned, shifted into a more comfortable position, and thought about taking another break.

At that moment, the reflection reappeared, and soon disappeared, and it was not noticeable, and I hurriedly turned my gaze again, staring at the haystack.

Finally, after a few seconds, I saw a wrist-thin black object flash through the haystack and quickly disappear into the haystack.

It's a snake!

I could see it clearly, it was definitely the body of a black snake!

Damn, although I belong to snakes, I am also afraid of snakes! I reached out and patted the pig's head on the bed, my eyes fixed on the haystack.

"Hmm...... What's wrong? The pig's head rolled over and muttered.

"Pig head, wake up!" I whispered, "There's a snake over there!" ”

"Oh, if there is, there will be it, I ......" the pig head said and was stunned for a moment, and then a spirit sat up and instinctively held his clothes to protect his chest: "What?!" Snake?! ”

The pig's violent action startled me, because he was very loud, and the Seventh Master and they were also woken up. Liang Ruoyi turned his head to look at me and looked at the pig's head again: "What snake?!" ”

"There!" I smiled wryly and pointed to the huge haystack: "I saw a black, wrist-thick snake. ”

"Ahem-I thought it was a big, thin-wristed snake, what were you afraid of?!" Liang Ruoyi glanced at me: "It's normal to have snakes here, it's strange if there are no snakes!" A little snake, don't provoke it! ”

The seventh master also smiled and glanced at the time: "It's almost six o'clock, pig's head, get up and make some breakfast, eat something hot, sleep in such a humid place for one night, it is inevitable that there will be some moisture on your body." ”

The pig's head was very timid, and he was still curled up on the bed in a daze at this time, but when he saw that the seventh master had also woken up, his face was a little better, and he got dressed and started cooking.

At this time, the sky outside began to brighten, and there was a touch of fish belly white on the horizon. I yawned and stood up, wiped my face with a wet towel, and slowly walked over to the haystack, took a look, and involuntarily took a step back.

"A snake with a thin wrist scares you like this?!" Liang Ruoyi didn't know when he followed, standing beside me and sneering.

"Damn!" I looked at Liang Ruoyi with a wry smile: "What if it's a poisonous snake?!" Even if it's not a poisonous snake, not many people like to treat snakes as pets, right?! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black snake suddenly appeared from the haystack again, as if swimming in water, and instantly burrowed into the haystack again.

Liang Ruoyi reacted very quickly, and the short blade in his hand chased after him, but he was still a step too late, and with a muffled "poof", the short blade sank into the haystack.

I shrugged at the ice beauty: "You're not fast! Can't catch up with a snake yet! ”

"Humph!" Liang Ruoyi snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to pull the short blade back, but he didn't expect that the short blade seemed to be hooked by something, and he didn't twitch after a while, and he added a little strength to pull it again, but he still didn't move.

Liang Ruoyi glanced at me and wanted to move the short blade and then draw it, but after pushing it, the short blade still didn't move, as if someone had reached out from it and grabbed it!

"No......" I took a step back, reached out and grabbed Liang Ruoyi's arm and tugged at it, but I really couldn't move, as if I was stuck on something.

"Stand back!" Liang Ruoyi glared at me and ordered.

I answered, hurriedly took a few steps back, Liang Ruoyi immediately put his feet a little, and his body suddenly jumped back, this time, the short blade was withdrawn, but because the strength was too great, he actually brought down the haystack by the way, and the nearly one-zhang high haystack shot directly at me!
