My heart tightened, as if my heart had jumped to my throat. It's finally time to begin!

However, this nervous feeling quickly calmed down, and it was easier to calm down than those things that had happened before. It's like a race, when you finally come to the end, you don't care if you can win it or not. There was only a sense of relaxation, and it was finally coming to an end.

I shook the peach blossoms in my hand, raised my head, looked at the slanting sun in the sky, and raised the corners of my lips: "Baby, go home to eat, sleep, when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be a bright sunshine on the earth." ”

In my heart, I said to myself, "Come on, Zong Sheng will win." He'll be back. That's what he promised me. ”

When I returned to Grandma Zongsheng's house, the family was already sacrificing, that is, offering whole chickens to the incense hall in the living room and lighting incense candles. My aunt was arranging the dishes and chopsticks on the side, and when she saw me walk in, she said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, and we'll be eating right away." ”

Although I just ate it from my mother's house, after all, it is a reunion dinner, even if you don't eat it, you have to sit at the table. There was a faucet in the yard, and I stuck the peach blossom in my hand in the crack of the door next to it, and then rolled up my sleeves and prepared to wash my hands. The water had just opened up when there was a splash of water, and I noticed that something seemed to be crawling at my feet. I was so frightened that I screamed out for a while, and I retreated in panic.

My cry made my aunt stick her head out of the living room and ask, "What's wrong?" What is it called? Is it unsettling? ”

I was so frightened that I retreated five or six steps away from the faucet, clutching my heart that was about to jump out, and looking at the little thing that was crawling over there. My aunt boldly walked over, picked up the broom and swept the thing out, saying, "It's just a little snake." You're really the eldest lady from your own city. There are many such small snakes on the mountain. My aunt swept out the snake that I had trampled to death in a panic, and muttered, "It's only been a few days since it was warm, and the snake came out." Even if it's going to come out, it's going to be March. ”

In a small southern town like ours, snakes can be seen almost all year round, even in December and January, in the countryside. If you have to say that snakes hibernate, it's basically February. At the end of March and the beginning of April, when the seedlings are sown and planted, snakes can often be seen. It's late February, how can there be a little snake and enter the house?

I bit my lip and was upset. Zong Sheng told me that snakes are spiritual, don't kill them if they encounter them, just drive them away. Isn't the big snake I saw in the basement of the building already able to enter the human body? But now, just as our side was just starting to act, I actually stepped on a snake to death! Nothing will happen to Zong Sheng's side, right?

It was just a small episode before the meal. At this reunion dinner, grandpa still sighed, saying that Zong Sheng would not come back for dinner. It's only an hour's drive.

My grandmother also served me soup and said, "Those who only went out to work during the Chinese New Year, who will come back for the fifteenth year." I've only been out for a few days. Besides, he's been busy all this time. ”

"Too busy to eat? When I was the boss, I could come back and help you farm. ”

"Aren't you an old man? Who is Zong Sheng? My grandson is much better than you. ”

"Qiang doesn't have to go home for dinner?"

Grandpa's words, as soon as he finished speaking, grandma glared at him, and he wilted and didn't say anything.

My aunt was used to seeing this kind of scene, so she didn't care about it at all, and continued to eat her meal.

After eating, my heart is still heavy. Not because of Zong Sheng's affairs, but because I stepped on that little snake. I always feel like something is going to happen. Thinking about the aborted child, I also went to deliver it. After hesitating in the room, I went downstairs anyway, found the incense candle paper money in the table under the incense hall in the living room, and went to the trash can next to the door to find the corpse of the little snake that was swept out by my aunt.

I distinctly remember that when I went to rummage through the trash can, my grandparents were already in the room, and I didn't know what they were talking about, as if they were discussing things and talking very seriously. My aunt was not at home and went to her parents' house. I also went to discuss marriage.

I was alone in the garbage can rummaging through the corpse of the little snake, and one or two people riding electric cars passed by, and one of the aunts joked: "Yo, You Xuan, have you lost your gold ring?" ”

When I found the corpse of the little snake, I carefully picked it up with chopsticks from the broken branch, put it in a porcelain dish brought out of the house, and then walked to the river in the village with my things. That place, at night, is basically empty. And now it was time for everyone to eat, and it was not dark yet, so I was not afraid, so I just took my things and passed.

He chose a clean garden by the river, dug a hole in the fertile ground with a branch, poured the little snake into it, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't blame me." I was also unintentional. I sincerely apologize to you. "Bury it, and I'll keep the porcelain plate upside down. Generally in the countryside, when you see this kind of upside-down dish, you know what is going on, and you won't touch it.

When it's done, I'm going to burn paper money with incense and apologize. I also said that I would make a solar term for it, so that it would not come to me for trouble. Anyway, I talked a lot about it, until the paper money burned out. I straightened up and rubbed my waist. The child in the belly, there is no reaction, this is not a lot of labor.

But when my attention shifted from the burning paper money to the surrounding area, I panicked. It's already dark! I remember when I went to look for the corpse of the little snake, it was very bright, and it only took me about 30 minutes to go to the river to burn paper money, why was it dark?

I looked up at the sky, trying to mentally calculate the passage of time. I guess that's between half past six and seven at most. At this time of year, it will be dark, but it will not be completely dark all at once.

Wrong! It's not right around here! In the village, on the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, there is no interference from those street lights and neon lights in the city, and I am by the river again, and there are no tall buildings around, and I should see the full moon now! Even if the moon hasn't come out yet, you should be able to see the stars! But now there is not a single star in the sky!

Also, the current time should be just dark, at this time, the people in the village are not sleeping, everyone should still be watching the Lantern Festival party, then the house should be lit up. Even if everyone sleeps, there are so many street lights in the village, and there are always a few of them on. Looking at it now, there was no light around me, only the little fire left of the paper money burning at my feet.

I pulled out my phone and looked at the time on my phone, 6:56. My instincts weren't wrong, but the scenery around me was wrong. The phone shows that there is no signal here. I looked around by the light of my phone's screen, and there was nothing around, not even a road, no river, no sound of the river. Nothing!

"Nothing?" I let out a low breath and took a step back involuntarily before I felt a plate under my feet.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I stepped on you again." I said anxiously, "I, I might, maybe I was rectified, entered the enchantment." Did you pull me in? I've apologized to you, I was really careless. Just forgive me, I will definitely give you a solar term so that you can be reincarnated. Let Zong Sheng do things for you, so that you can be a man in the next life. Please, let me go, let me go back. ”

When I said this, I felt that I was exaggerating. The snake is still so small, as small as a chopstick, not even as thick as chopsticks. Just like an earthworm, if it weren't for the special patterns on its tiny body, I would definitely think it was an earthworm. Can a snake like this pull me into the enchantment?

I stood on the edge of the saucer, afraid to move. Now I can't tell the direction anymore, it's all black, it's completely black. And I couldn't hear the water, and if I walked and walked straight into the river, I would be found downstream tomorrow morning, and the police would say I had committed suicide.

I can't go, it's dangerous to go. But I can't stand here until the sun comes out tomorrow morning. I bit my lip, I was really panicked, and I began to regret why I had come out so easily to bury this little snake. What should I do now?

If you can't call on your mobile phone, can you contact Zong Sheng with a blood contract? It felt like a twin's telepathy, and if I tried to convey a message to him, he would be able to feel it. But he should have started their plans by now. It's even been in the Schaan Hotel. He's in danger too, and he's even more dangerous if I use the blood pact to send him a message. Will he give up this action for me? He had been planning for so long that even his family was about to go bankrupt. Seeing that it can all be solved tonight, if I let him come back now, he ......

I can't do that.

It was so cold, the sun had been lost, the temperature dropped quickly, the cold air hit, I squatted down, illuminated the porcelain dish next to me with the light of my mobile phone, and whispered: "Now, there are only two of us here." Looking at you, at least I know, I'm not alone. Are you an ordinary snake, or a spiritual snake? Can you hear me? In this kind of weather, if you don't hibernate, why did you run out? Otherwise, I wouldn't have trampled you to death in a panic. ”

Talking to myself, my words are broken here. Why did this snake appear so abnormal? Could it be that the snake itself is an anomaly! If it weren't for this snake, I wouldn't have come here alone, and I wouldn't have been trapped in this barrier.

I blurted out, "I'm being calculated!" ”
