Chapter 1: The Snake Spirit
My name is Wenmu, the text of language, the wood of wood. Born in the South. As for such an ugly name, I am also helpless. Because my grandfather was more superstitious, he forcibly gave me such an ugly name when he said that my numerology was lacking in wood. Change my life!
For as long as I can remember, I have felt that I am very different from other children, because everyone else has parents, why don't I have one. Every time I asked my grandfather, he would give me a hard look, but he never said a word to my parents. I didn't dare to continue asking, because my grandfather has always been so serious in my heart, so indisputable, as if the sky fell and it was none of his business. He just has a hobby, like those Taoist priests on TV. He draws talismans every day, but his reputation in the village is not bad. Many people are looking for him when they have strange things at home. But I've never seen him laugh. I listened to him, not because of anything else, but because I was afraid of him.
Because I didn't have parents since I was a child, the children in the village didn't want to play with me, saying that I was a wild child, picked up, and even more poisonous that I was stolen. I almost got into a fight with them several times.
Wang Lin is the little bully among our children, because his father is the village head, the "second generation of coffins". Wearing the non-mainstream clothes of the so-called social person. Every day, he likes to bully the weak and show off his father's newly bought Pingguo mobile phone. There are a bunch of little followers at school. It seems that his family is rich.
Maybe he saw me weak, and when he saw me, he called me a wild child, and I hated him to the core. When I saw him, I couldn't wait for his father to step down immediately, and he was in a state of anger one day.
One time I scored 100 points in math.
"The wild children in our class actually got a full score in the exam, who did they copy? Won't it be? ”
He looked at me playfully. The class burst into laughter. Some of them laughed backwards and forwards, some laughed heartily, some tensed their faces and covered their hands with their smiles, and some directly leaned against the wall and giggled......
"Shut up, don't say anything about me Brother Wen"
It was a pony who spoke, and he was very strong, with thick eyebrows, but not big eyes. Those little eyes look really "cute", a very big grinning person. But at this time, his eyebrows were locked, and his eyebrows were as sharp as a sword, full of anger. looked at Wang Lin coldly.
The corners of Wang Lin's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "Pony, it's none of your business, don't meddle with things" After speaking, several little followers behind him also bared their teeth, as if they were going to eat me and the pony.
"Forget it, pony," I whispered.
"This kind of person relies on a little money at home, what to pretend" Pony disagreed. As he spoke, he rushed forward. With a miserable scream of "ah", I saw a scarlet palm print suddenly appear on Wang Lin's face.
"I grass, hit"
Wang Lin was completely furious. And so the two of us got into a fight with them. Although my neck was scratched, this incident made me and Pony good friends who "share life and death".
I thought I was going to spend my whole life ordinary. But in the first year of junior high school, something happened that I couldn't believe. It was because of this that my life took the biggest turn.
After school that afternoon, because I was in junior high school in town. So far from home. And it's not open to traffic. My pony and I were waiting on the side of the road for Grandpa to pick us up.
After waiting for a while, my grandfather picked me up on his motorbike as usual, and the motorcycle was dangling on the muddy path.
The ponies also sang nursery rhymes to amuse me as usual, when they were singing energetically. The car braked suddenly. The pony's head hit me right on the back of the head. It scared the pony and me out of the singing.
When we came back to our senses, we all looked at my grandfather strangely, and through the rearview mirror, we saw that he had a complicated expression. The mouth kept saying "It's time to come, it's still coming".
"Grandpa, what did you say? What should have come or is coming," I asked, looking at my grandfather strangely. The pony was also confused.
Grandpa looked back, since I was a child, I was so serious, so solemn, and I usually don't frown my grandfather's expression actually had a trace of worry, and even a trace of fear. But it's fleeting, and it's hard to spot without looking closely. He looked at me and said.
"I'll go to the front, you two will wait here for me, don't go anywhere"
I was about to say something. But before I could speak, Grandpa took out a yellow piece of paper from his pocket and continued.
"You have this talisman, don't lose it, protect yourself," he said, and he got out of the car and ran to the front of the path, extremely fast. It's almost time to catch up with the national athletes.
I didn't think anything of it because I had seen it, but the pony hadn't, and his already big eyes widened, and he looked at me in shock.
"Why didn't I find out that your grandfather was so powerful before, our physical education teacher was afraid that he wouldn't be able to outrun."
I ignored him, but looked at the rune paper that my grandfather gave me in a daze, because I had seen this type of rune paper. Grandpa told me that it was used to ward off evil spirits. But I've never believed that there are ghosts in this world. I put it in my pocket when I thought about it, but I was a little surprised by Grandpa's unusual behavior today.
The pony asked me something, and of course, I didn't know.
After waiting for a long time, Grandpa never came back, and it gradually darkened. Because there are no street lights in the wilderness of the countryside, this winding path seems very strange. An old locust tree on the side of the road made a "clucking" sound from time to time, making the already weird surroundings even more terrifying.
"Pony, today Teacher Zhang taught us how to sing that song"
I saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so I said a word to the ponies. First, to relax the tense body, and secondly, to strengthen the courage, in this way, you have to be scared to death.
The pony didn't refuse and cleared his throat. I sang "If you feel happy, you clap your hands, if you feel happy, you clap your hands......" and I sang along. Just when the energy is up. There was a sudden "creaking" sound on the locust tree on the side of the road. A heart that had been put down suddenly raised its voice again.
"Brother Wen, did you hear anything?"
The pony said with a shudder, and you could tell from his tone that he seemed to be a little scared. Of course, I'm also afraid. On this big night, it is in the wilderness again, who is not afraid to hear it?
"Why don't we go home, it's too weird here," he continued. "Grandpa told us to wait for him, and when he comes back, he won't see us, so he may have to look somewhere," I said aloud. I want to suppress my fears.
At this moment, there was another "gurgling" sound from the locust tree, as if it was mocking, and it looked particularly strange on this quiet path.
I felt my body start to tremble unconsciously, and so did the ponies.
"Who are you, what do you want to do, what is it to scare children" I couldn't suppress the fear in my heart anymore and shouted loudly.
But nothing happened. After a while there was another "gurgling" sound, followed by a few shakes from the branches of the tree. A black shadow fell, and looked at it through the moonlight, which I didn't know, and I felt creepy in the moment I saw it, and I felt a cold behind it.
"Little, pony, why is this snake so big?"
My tone was completely shaky when I said this. Because this snake is really big. To say the least, there are 5, 6 meters. Its waist was the size of a teapot. It's scary to watch.
However, the pony only seems to be surprised.
"What do I say, it's a big snake, don't be afraid, just stay away from it," the pony said indifferently.
But the snake's eyes stared straight at me, and although they were snake eyes, I looked like a pair of human eyes were looking at me viciously. A chill suddenly appeared.
"Pony, I think this snake seems a little weird"
"What's weird, let's just not mess with it, it's okay, leave it alone" said the pony as he prepared to go back.
But the snake raised its head high, and the front half of its body began to shrink. Spit letters at me and the ponies.
"Hiss" emits a series of sounds.
When the pony saw this, he frowned, and said to himself, "No, no, this seems to be a precursor to the snake's attack."
I was just about to ask him what the serpent's offensive precursors were. Before I could ask, he shouted at me.
"Run!"
The pony yells. Didn't wait for me to react. The pony came running up to me and grabbed me and ran back.
I looked back, and the snake was chasing after me at great speed. At his speed, he would have caught up with us in no time.
"Ahh
I only felt like I was being knocked out, and I felt a sharp pain in my back, and my internal organs turned over for a while. If you don't fight often, your ability to resist fighting is good. I fainted in disbelief.
"Poof" had a sweet throat and spit out a mouthful of old blood. Pony, on the other hand, is lying motionless on the ground. He's dead? No way, he has always been in better health than me, why didn't I die, but he died?
Fortunately, I saw that his stomach was still rising and falling. He's breathing! If you breathe, you're not dead. The bumpy heart slowly let go. He looked back at the snake spirit in fear. Shall I die today at the hands of this serpent?
The snake looked at me viciously, and suddenly rushed towards me with great speed. Faced with this fear of death, I actually forgot to resist.
The serpent drew closer and closer to me until it was about to touch me.
"Bang!" I saw a flash of gold in my pocket, and the snake flew upside down like a broken kite string.
What's going on? But when I thought about it, it dawned on me.
This is probably the talisman paper that my grandfather gave me that saved my life. I didn't think it would really work. I took the rune paper out of my pocket, and it glowed faintly golden. Sure enough, it was this rune paper that saved my life.
I looked up at the snake that had been sent flying, and it looked like it had its skin peeled open. Steaming scarlet blood. The snake must have been badly injured by a blow.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him.
Although I was afraid. But he still had the courage to run over and follow the Taoist priest on TV, and prepared to paste the talisman paper on the snake.
As soon as the rune paper was pasted, the snake visibly shook.
The rune paper that had just been pasted with "poof" instantly burst into flames. I understand that this rune paper has no effect. My heart froze. Subconsciously retreating.
The snake slowed down, and when it turned around, it looked at me viciously. I don't have anything left now.
The snake seemed to have a hint of anthropomorphic suspicion, and it probably didn't know that I had no rune paper in my pocket.
It didn't dare to come, and I didn't dare to run, because when I ran, I would be exposed. I can only pretend to be calm.
It was a stalemate for more than ten minutes, but the snake still didn't move, and neither did I. I just want to stall for my grandfather to come back.
As soon as he thought so, the snake actually went straight to the pony.
Not good, ponies are in danger. I picked up a stick and ran over to get ready to stand next to the pony. But the snake was too fast. I couldn't catch up with him at all.
Before he could reach it, he saw the snake clinch the pony with his tail. Directly threw it at me.
I had no choice but to catch the pony first. When the pony touches me. I just felt a tremendous force pressing down on me. I couldn't stand up and fell straight down, and the pony fell on top of me.
The snake is so clever that he's going to test me with a pony, and although he mistakenly thinks I still have rune paper, if it hits me with an object now, the pony and I will be really lucky.
But what surprised me was that this snake was definitely smarter than the average person. It really wants to smash us with an object. It picks up a stone and prepares to smash it at the time. A voice came from behind me
"Stop"
This voice is a woman, so big, I have never heard such a beautiful voice. Crispy, not coquettish, not domineering, and not like the weak voice of a Jiangnan woman. It's so good.
In the blink of an eye, a woman appeared in front of me. When I saw it, I not only sighed. Even surprised.
