XXXIII. Burning the Snake Cave
These snakes are almost blind, and the light of our flashlights has no effect on the snakes below. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I followed the old man's finger and looked over, and the snake king was looking down at everything below from a high place, as if he could really see.
As soon as the Serpent King turned his head to look at us, I immediately got goosebumps on my back, and the look was so sharp that it irritated my nerves.
I twisted my head to the side, the scene was so beautiful that I couldn't bear to look at it. The old man laughed twice, "Turn off the flashlight, we have friends to drive." ā
Actually, I didn't want to turn off the flashlight, but Brother Qiang took it and almost fell into the snake's nest. There was a faint light not far away, and then a few more people lay down, unable to see their faces clearly because they were backlit. I guess it's very likely to be a few Xiao Jiu.
"These bunnies, the last time I saw us, they didn't save them, see how I clean him up. Brother Qiang still remembered Xiao Jiu turning his head and running.
Cong Shuya said on the side, "Look what they are doing, we have guide dogs." ā
I looked at it a few more times, and when I didn't see anything wrong, I asked, "What guide dogs, aren't they going to look at these snakes again?"
The old man said, "No, we can't see the angle of their flashlight, and several flashlights are shining at the same time, so there is a problem." They are interested in what they see and are interested in. What will interest them in this bucket? ā
I almost jumped up, "This entrance is in a snake den, this is too infiltrating, how can so many snakes get in?"
I had been observing the snake king, and it was it that I feared the most about these snakes, and the snake king seemed to be frightened, and he slipped into the depths of the snakes, and after a while he could not see it from my point of view.
Just as he was wondering, a white light shot out from the direction of those people, followed by several streams. I was looking down, the light was blinding, my eyes hurting, and I almost blinded my eyes. Brother Qiang couldn't help but scold, "These bunnies, what kind of flare are you using at this time." I'm afraid the Snake King doesn't know where he is?"
The old man dragged Cong Shuya back, "Stay back, they're planning to set fire." Don't you like to eat snake meat? Do you want to cook it again after a while? ā
Snakes will grow a layer of grease on their bodies, and they are most afraid of fire, and can burn snakes to death once they come into contact with fire. There are so many snakes below, layered on top of each other, that it has not become a huge furnace.
After a while, a flame ignited in the snake's nest, and it was possible to see the bottom without lighting, and a bunch of snakes rolled and struggled in pain in the flames, and the snakes on the side hurriedly retreated while clapping their blood-colored palms. But the grease on the snake's body caught fire when it saw the fire, and the fire spread rapidly, and it didn't take long for it to burst into flames.
Each of them stuck out their heads and looked around, and fired two more flares where they didn't burn. I finally saw the appearance of a person, who else could there be besides Xiao Jiu's house.
But I observed carefully for a long time and sighed softly, and I didn't find Yu Tianyi's figure among these people, which made me feel a sense of loss in my heart. Maybe Yu Tianyi is hiding in the back, and if she continues to walk inside, she will run into it.
Originally, the cave was damp and cold, and it was already hot and stuffy when we lay on top of the snake's nest. The flames continued to burn, and the pit wafted up with a thick smoke, and various smells such as fishy smell, meat smell, and mushy smell were mixed together, which was very unpleasant. Even if we cover our mouths and noses with our clothes dipped in water, we can't resist these smells, and the strange smell can penetrate into our brains.
"I'm never going to eat snake meat again, it's so disgusting that I almost threw up the compressed biscuits. Brother Qiang covered his mouth and buried his whole face in a ball of clothes. Cong Shuya couldn't stand it either, "Why don't we retreat a little back, and we'll go in when they're done burning." ā
The old man nodded, and we retreated quickly, almost running for our lives. The smell was much lighter in the farther place, and I looked back at the firelight in the distance, "Xiao Jiu, what should they do if they go in first? If they take the golden seal away, won't we return empty-handed?"
Brother Qiang lit a cigarette for me, I took a puff, choked to death, there was a fishy smell in this cigarette roll, and when I opened my mouth, I scolded Brother Qiang, "Did you hide the cigarette box in the crotch of your pants, how could it smell like this." ā
Brother Qiang also looked innocent, "Good tea requires good water, this good smoke also needs good air, right? ā
Cong Shuya understood this, and spit out Brother Qiang, and Brother Qiang smiled obscenely, "Even if I let Xiao Jiu and them get the golden seal, I have to let them spit it out before they fight." ā
The old man shook his head: "Their purpose is not the Golden Seal. I looked at the old man suspiciously, "It's not what Jin Xi is, could it be that they think that this Queen Xiao is so beautiful and fragrant that she wants to get back to be Mrs. Zhai?"
Cong Shuya glared at me, "Don't worry about Mrs. Zhai all day long, you and Brother Qiang are really all the way, and there are some evil things in your head all day long." They came here to bring the dragon back. ā
"What is the purpose of that dragon molt?" At first, Yu Tianyi brought one back, and this Xiao Jiu came here for this thing.
Cong Shuya glanced at the old man, the latter did not refuse, the old god was meditating and resting with his eyes slightly closed, "The dragon metamorphosis is a special thing, and he has some strange functions for people who are blessed and cursed by God." It can exacerbate the curse, for example, Yu Tianyi, if he eats the dragon molt, then the scales on his body will grow faster, that is, he will approach the mutation faster. ā
"And what did he take that thing back for?" I jumped to my feet, almost yelling. The old man looked at me, smiled slightly, and closed his eyes again.
Cong Shuya said: "Yu Tianyi doesn't necessarily have to use it herself. The dragon molt seems to be a side effect, but there is also a good aspect. For example, curses like mine will live longer. Speaking of this, Shu Ya sneered twice, "I don't know if this superposition of lifespan is a good thing, I always think that Yu Tianyi gave me the rest of his life." ā
Cong Shuya's tears brushed away, and I hugged him, "Don't say that, this is everyone's different life." ā
Cong Shuya touched it and raised her head, "If I eat the dragon, then my life will be extended." But ......"
Cong Shuya wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she gritted her teeth, "But as long as you eat the dragon, the curse on your body will not be solved, and there will also be abnormal changes." No one in the two Cong Yu families touched the dragon until the last resort, and they all hoped that one day they would be able to lift the curse and no longer be at the mercy of that person. ā
"The fire is small, should we go back?" Brother Qiang kept staring at the direction of the snake's nest, it was estimated that the snake was almost burned, and the fire was already very weak at this time.
The old man said, "Don't worry, let Xiao Jiu and them fall into the thunder, I estimate that there will definitely be a lot of things in it." ā
Brother Qiang was impatient, "Go, smart." Let's go over and see who is in Xiao Jiu's gang. ā
As soon as I heard it, I understood that Brother Qiang was telling me that I might be able to meet Yu Tianyi. But I turned my head and sat down again, and Brother Qiang asked, "Why don't you leave, do you have other ideas?"
"Don't you just want to go over and see if it's cooked, but not burnt snake meat?" I glanced at him, and I didn't know that he had been in contact with him all these years.
Brother Qiang smiled: "Let's go over together and see what the fire looks like." Maybe we can really leave some half-baked food to fill our stomachs. How do you know what I'm thinking? "I don't care how he pulls me, I just don't get up" Those snakes are so disgusting, it's okay to eat rats outside, what if you just finished eating people? I don't know you yet? What position you pout your ass into, I know what shape of shit you can pull out. ā
Brother Qiang sat down stupidly, I think it's best to satisfy Brother Qiang, a foodie, otherwise it won't be long before we run out of compressed biscuits. stood up and kicked Brother Qiang, "Let's go, foodie." ā
When I saw the inside of the snake's nest again, I was overwhelmed. It was dark, and there were still a few small snakes burning with this flame rolling, and more were emitting bursts of black smoke. It's purgatory.
We were still in the shadows, and Xiao Jiu and the others kept shining back and forth with flashlights. At this time, Xiao Jiu arranged for a person to climb down the rope into the snake's nest.
"What are they doing here?" I think it's dangerous, and who knows if the writhing snakes are going to give them a bite.
The man pulled out a bag and rummaged through the pile of snakes, filling it with a few from time to time. I immediately understood that these people have the same hobbies as Brother Qiang, and they are not afraid of making trouble after eating these snake meats.
After about half an hour, Xiao Jiu and the others hung down the rope again. I thought that these big bellies were not full, but I didn't expect them all to climb down the rope. It didn't take long to be out of sight.
I shone a flashlight backwards, and Cong Shuya and the two came over after a while.
Cong Shuya said: "I'm afraid it's not just us here, but also Xiao Jiu and them, just now I saw the mark made by Brother Qiang before." ā
"Hehe, I didn't expect my wild grass to be so popular, and I can even go back and publish a few notebooks for the children. Brother Qiang laughed shamelessly, not caring about the person who kept leaving marks everywhere.
The old man said, "Pay more attention, this mark is very likely not made by people." The place where the mark was made was muddy, and if you sink a little, you can sink into it. But there were no footprints around there. ā
"It's not artificial, and that's a bit of a problem. Could it be the funeral ghosts?" and the only answer I could come up with, it was the only thing that kept their feet on the ground. Even the rice dumplings have to be stepped on.
There was no open flame in the snake's nest, only a little black smoke, and it looked hazy. Brother Qiang has already smoothed the rope and turned around to beckon us to go down.
I looked at the miserable appearance below, and I was really disgusted. And I obviously saw that the snake king should have escaped, will he hide somewhere to spy on us? You know, snakes are rumored to be very vindictive things.
Brother Qiang took the lead and disappeared quickly along the rope. I also followed with a strong spirit.
The moment my foot landed on the snake pile, all the hairs on my body stood on end, and I looked ahead with a flashlight for a while, making sure that I couldn't move before taking the next step. And Brother Qiang walked forward with a big grin, and rummaged on the ground from time to time for a while. I knew from watching his movements that Brother Qiang must have a piece of snake meat in his mouth at this time.
