Chapter 479: The Snake Molts
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Brother, what do you think of my paper figures?"
Lao Liu came out quickly, this time the person dressed like a dog, beige windbreaker, light blue trousers, shiny hair, the rough face seemed to be polished, made smooth and slippery.
As he spoke, he put aside the three paper figures from under his armpits, and the three paper figures were all his appearance, each dressed differently.
One had a shaved head, a blue coarse cloth dress, and a pair of slip-on shoes on his feet, and looked like he was working in the fields.
One is separated from the head, and there is an eye on the bridge of the nose, which is polite.
The last one was shirtless, with a dagger in his hand, vicious, as if he was going to fight.
"Brother, in addition to these paper figures, I will leave you another piece of secret ink, if you want to come back to life, you will use your own blood mixed with secret ink to put the finishing touch, I don't care about the rest, at least I can cope with one night!" Lao Liu set up the paper figure, took out a knife, took out the ink in the wooden box, carefully scraped off a layer and wrapped it, and handed it over.
I didn't answer, but asked in a cold voice, "Lao Liu, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" β
"Brother, didn't I say it clearly enough?" Lao Liu looked at me sideways, "I'm afraid of death?" I don't want to throw my life here, I have done all the reminders that should be given, what I should do, if I don't run, will I die? β
"Also, Xin Xingxing is playing Gu, Second Aunt Xin plays everything, these two people are not the same way, I don't know what the specific origin is, anyway, when I was not born, Second Aunt Xin was in our village!"
Lao Liu said as he packed up his wooden box, packed up his things, and finished speaking.
His meaning is obvious, under the flint cave, he reminded twice, and now he has left a few paper figures, which is considered to be benevolent and righteous to me, and now he is afraid of death and wants to run.
This is understandable, I have no reason to forcibly keep Lao Liu, he can do it to me.
"Is there anything else in the village that needs attention?" I asked.
"If you want to live long, no one can believe it!" Lao Liu thought for a moment and spoke.
After speaking, he glanced up at the gloomy sky and said, "Okay, that's all I say, if our brothers are fated, we can meet in the future!" β
After speaking, he ran away with the wooden box and disappeared.
Liangzi and I glanced at each other, Lao Liu was very decisive, and after discovering that the two of us had found out his identity, he didn't say a word and ran away immediately.
Before he ran, he left a few paper figures to sell them to me, and no one could tell what he came from, not to mention, he also reminded me twice under the flint cave.
As soon as Lao Liu ran, it didn't make sense to stay here, so we put the paper figure away, closed the door, and returned the same way, aiming at Xin Xingxing's house.
Either way, the hot spring village is her old nest, and she will come back anyway.
When he came to Xin Xingxing's house again, before he entered the house, Ryoko reached out and made a stop gesture and asked, "Brother, do you smell anything?" β
I sniffed it, and I could smell a smell that was very faint, a little fishy.
I nodded and said, "It's a little fishy!" β
"I'll go in first!"
Ryoko stepped forward and pushed the door tentatively, but the door was unlocked and creaked open.
The door of the room inside was wide open, and on the Taishi chair in the middle, Xin Xingxing was lying on his stomach, revealing a perfect side curve.
I don't know if it's because of the light, but the lower leg she exposed is smooth and transparent, and she can even see the opposite side through the calf.
"Brother, that smell comes from her!" Ryoko frowned, sniffing again.
The smell of fish on the human body is nothing more than those possibilities.
The first is that I got the fish and left a fishy smell on my body, and the second is that I was happy and left that special smell.
Both of these seem unlikely at the moment, Xin Xingxing's current state is a little strange, how can she fall asleep and still fall asleep in such a strange position?
"Xin Star!"
I shouted and walked into the courtyard with Ryoko.
Xin Xingxing didn't move, still lying there.
I immediately became vigilant and shouted again, "Xin Xingxing!" β
She still didn't move, and a gust of wind blew and poured into the foyer, lifting Xin Xingxing's skirt, revealing a white thigh, and blowing her body at the same time.
Xin Xingxing was like paper, blown to the ground, fluttering and completely unfocused.
"What's that?"
I immediately ran over to see this, and when I saw it clearly, I frowned.
On the ground is an empty shell, almost transparent calves, white arms, and plump breasts, all of which are fake.
I touched the empty shell, it was hard and brittle, but it was so real that I could see the hairs on my face.
"Crab molting!"
Ryoko looked at it for a while and held back a sentence.
This description is correct, from juvenile to adult, the crab will molt at every key node, and the shell that sheds can maintain a complete crab form, just like this shell.
Xin Xingxing can't be a crab, but the state is about the same.
"It's also possible that the snake molts!" I thought about it and said.
Ryoko didn't speak, squatted down and fiddled with the shell, and raised her finger halfway, there was a trace of slime on it, and that strange fishy smell emanated from it.
"You're watching here, I'm going inside!" I confessed and walked inside.
Not only the front hall, but also the layout of the back is full of the atmosphere of more than 100 years ago, with carved wooden doors, papier-mΓ’chΓ© window lattices, and painted red beams and columns.
According to the people in the village, the Xin family is the only one in the Xin family.
Xin Xingxing is a woman, and she is still a very beautiful woman, there is no woman who doesn't like to dress up, but here, I don't feel a trace of a woman's breath.
On the beams and pillars overhead, spiders the size of palms hung upside down, and their deep spider eyes stared at me coldly, ready to attack at any time.
In the bedroom, except for the pink quilt cover, a hint of girl's breath can be seen, and the others, if you are any ordinary person, you have to be scared half to death.
The mirror on the dresser is very bright, of course, if you ignore the four corners of the mirror, like a pattern, but in fact it is a centipede with scarlet back armor, it is acceptable.
Under the mirror, there are some very old rouge gouaches, the style is very ancient, at first glance it is an antique, if you don't look closely, you will definitely ignore the insects on it that are as slender as hair.
There is also the ground, which is a rosewood-colored plank, but in the gap of the plank, two tentacles poke out from time to time, and there are insects underneath.
The whole room, except for bugs, is still bugs, and here is a big worm nest.
I compared the room with Zhang Mo's, Zhang Mo is simply a fairy, and she is also playing Gu, why is the gap so big?
Turning around the bedroom, there is a storage room next to it, which is very clean from the outside, and the contents stored in it can be seen at a glance.
Inside the storeroom are three rows of wooden cabinets, the style of the wooden cabinets is the same as that of the Chinese medicine pharmacy, with small stickers on them, marking the contents inside.
I looked at the same, most of them were medicinal herbs, and a small part were the corpses of various insects.
In the middle of the storage room is a large vat, which is about one meter two high and about one meter in diameter, and the mouth of the cylinder is wrapped with a circle of copper wire, which is covered with an iron lid.
I removed the iron cover through a slit, and a spicy smell rushed out, and a scarlet triangular snake head came out with it, making a hissing sound.
I slapped the snake's head against the lid with my backhand, broke the snake's mouth, pressed the snake's teeth against the lid, and with a little force, a drop of transparent juice flowed out.
Squeezing out the snake venom, I was relieved a lot and took this snake out.
This snake is very small, but twenty centimeters long, the thickness of chopsticks, the only special thing is the snake head, the snake head is very large, and the snake body is very incompatible, as if it was connected later.
The snake's eyes are very special, compared to the coldness of most snakes, the snake's eyes are full of emotion, just like now, it is looking at me with a kind of eyes full of hatred, it should be blamed on me for not getting its snake venom.
The accumulation of every drop of snake venom takes a certain amount of time, and if I want to accumulate so much snake venom in ten days and half a month, it is unlikely that I will do this just now.
"You still hate me?" Amused by it, I reached out and flicked the scarlet snake's head, wrapping it around my wrist, not planning to let it go for the time being.
"Hiss!"
It spat out the letter again and struggled a little, as if trying to get back into the vat.
"What, what's in there?"
I pushed open the iron lid on top of the vat and there was nothing in it except some dried herbs and insect corpses.
"Isn't that nothing special?"
I smiled, closed the iron lid, and walked out with the snake.
I don't know why, I just didn't want to put this snake back, I always thought something was going to happen.
Leaving the pantry, I walked backwards with the snake, and the next target was the kitchen.
