I wondered, "Why did you send the offerings to the entrance of the village?" Isn't the altar in the middle of the village in that clearing? ”

"You don't know that the real body of this snake god is actually the wall that surrounds the village." Wang Gui sighed, "Not only did she trap the village, but she also hunted and killed the villagers in the village for food. It was our ancestors who made a pact with her to sacrifice a man and a woman every year before she hibernated, so that she would no longer hurt anyone. ”

I thought of the circle of stone walls with simple patterns around the village, and my heart shuddered—wasn't the pattern on the stone wall the lines of the scales on the snake's body?

There is also a plaque at the entrance to the village, with a small sharp stone inlaid at each end of the beam, isn't it like a tooth in a snake's mouth? When a few of us walked into the village, we walked into her belly, no wonder the snake god wanted to trap the people in the village and prevent them from leaving the village.

In her eyes, aren't we just what she has in her pocket? How could she allow her food to escape?

"Crazy hair?" Gu Qi smiled coldly, hugged me, and said slowly, "I want to see what she is capable of." ”

Seeing Gu Qihan's calm appearance, Wang Gui should be sure to destroy the snake god, so he knelt on the ground and bowed to him deeply, "Thank you to the master for coming to the rescue and relieving the village from a hundred years of disaster." I, Wang Gui, must be grateful to Dade for the work of the high-ranking people and dogs and horses. ”

"Wait." Gu Qihan looked at him with a smile, "Don't put on such a loyal appearance first, I still remember how you put us together before." ”

Wang Gui's face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered but didn't dare to speak.

"Ah Xiang, didn't you say that the realgar powder made by your father before could hurt the snake god? Wang Gui, you go and make the medicine powder now, and sprinkle it in the front yard of every house. ”

Wang Gui listened to Gu Qihan's words, and his whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, and only after a long time did he reluctantly smile, "Isn't it just me in our village who doesn't know ......when I will be busy."

Gu Qi looked at him with a cold smile, and said mercilessly, "You said that the snake god will go crazy without sacrifices, at this time, if you don't make a little defense for every household, won't you let the villagers die?" When will it be finished, and when will we set off to the entrance of the village to kill the snake. ”

"Yes, yes." Wang Gui hurriedly responded and retreated.

After a while, a few villagers came in carrying a wooden table and set up hot wine and food. Wang Gui, the village head, nodded and poured wine and vegetables, looked at Gu Qihan with a flattering expression and said, "Let's enjoy some meals first, it can be regarded as my apology to the three of them." ”

Gu Qihan glanced at him with a smile, took a glass of wine and slowly sipped it, seeing that Wang Gui's face was full of apprehension. Xiaorou and I glanced at each other, looked at his cowardice, and held back a smile.

Ah Xiang said directly and unceremoniously, "Village Chief Wang, I have turned out all the realgar powder left by Daddy from the warehouse, why don't you move?" ”

Wang Gui glanced at the unfathomable Gu Qihan, but unfortunately Gu Qihan only cared about drinking, and didn't even give him a look. His face changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and went out with a few cronies to sprinkle medicinal powder.

When he went out, we looked at each other and couldn't hold back our laughter. No way, Wang Gui's expression just now was really funny, like a pug wagging his tail and begging for mercy. It's a pity that his rich facial expressions still returned in vain when facing Gu Qihan's iceberg face.

Gu Qihan put down the wine glass and said with satisfaction, "Aged wine, with an endless aftertaste, and a fragrance of osmanthus flowers. ”

Listening to his words, Ah Xiang smiled straightforwardly, "If my brother likes to drink, there are many more in the wine cellar in our village!" This is the wine that the people in the village have kept for generations, and outsiders have drunk it, and there is nothing that is not praised! ”

I silently lit a candle in my heart for the "outsiders" in Ah Xiang's mouth, these people are probably buried in the belly of the snake a long time ago. Picking up the quaint wine glass, I took a sip of wine, and sure enough, the lips and teeth were fragrant and the taste was mellow, even I, a person who didn't know how to drink, could taste the long years contained in it.

"Ah Xiang, the wine in your village tastes really good, if you can sell it, maybe it will be more fragrant than Moutai." I sighed as I raised my wine glass and wanted to take another sip, but Gu Qihan held my wrist.

"This wine lasts a long time, you drink less." His dark pupils stared at me with a lot of concern.

My heart warmed, and I thought that I would have to fight the snake god later, so I nodded and put down my glass.

Yu Xiaorou sat on Gu Qihan's left hand, she got up with a wine glass and walked to me, and said with a smile, "Brother Qi Han, let Xiao Nan have a drink with me, she has been taking care of me all the way and saving my life, I must give her a drink." ”

Gu Qihan frowned, looked at her blushing face, and said softly, "Xiaorou, don't drink either, if you drink again, you will get drunk." ”

Yu Xiaorou ignored Gu Qihan, just stared at me blindly, and said firmly, "Xiao Nan, have a drink with me." ”

I saw that she was so persistent, and it was not easy to refuse, thinking that it should not be a big deal to drink an extra glass of wine, so I smiled and nodded, and took the wine glass and drank it all.

Yu Xiaorou saw that I had drunk, a smile bloomed on her face, and she stepped forward and gave me a big hug. A faint scent floated on the tip of my nose, and I instantly felt the urge of alcohol rise and become lightheaded.

In a daze, I seemed to hear her whispering in my ear, "Xiao Nan, you're too tired, take a break." ”

I tried to hold my forehead and open my eyes, but my elbows slipped in vain. Gu Qihan's handsome eyebrows, Han Xing's eyes flickered in front of him, and he seemed to frown and say something. I held out my hands to smooth his frowning brow, and then fell into a dim chaos.

In a trance, a voice pulled my consciousness back to reality, and I felt that my consciousness was slowly returning, and I immediately remembered the snake removal, and hurriedly struggled to wake up.

"Master, the snake god just appeared at the west entrance of the village, she wanted to attack the villagers, but she was burned by the sulfur powder next to the farmyard, and now she has escaped outside the village, and it has become that stone wall again."

This is Wang Gui's voice! The snake god appeared. As soon as I heard this, I wanted to open my eyes, but there was a tearing pain in my brain, and my eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and I couldn't open them, and the whole person felt like a hangover.

What is the wine made in this village is too big.

"The snake god is wounded, and now is the time for her to be weak. Without further ado, let's hurry and go. "This is Gu Qihan's voice, are they going to start acting? Wait, I'm going!

But no matter how much I opened my mouth and tried to speak, all I came out was meaningless muttering, and I couldn't even open my lips, and I was really going to die.

"But...... What should Xiao Nan do? Yu Xiaorou's gentle voice came, and she said to herself, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have toasted with Xiao Nan, and now that she is asleep, what can I do...... Ah Xiang, why don't you stay and take care of Xiao Nan. ”

Ah Xiang asked worriedly, "Just the two of you to kill the snake, there won't be any danger, right?" ”

"It's okay, Brother Qi Han will protect me." Yu Xiaorou smiled and said, "Please take care of Xiao Nan, she is not lightly drunk." ”

"Don't worry, leave it to me, you have to be careful."

I felt a cold hand and touched my forehead, and then, I heard Gu Qihan's gentle voice, "Wife, rest in peace, I'll be back soon." ”

Don't go, take me with you! I tried to open my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound.

The footsteps of Gu Qihan and Yu Xiaorou gradually faded away, and I shouted anxiously in my heart, but I couldn't keep their pace.

No, you can't let the two of them go on an adventure. I felt like I was in a nightmare, I was very conscious, but my body couldn't move like a vegetative state.

At this time, I had an idea and thought of the meditation method, which is a Taoist mantra that is very effective in removing the negative effects of evil spirits. But I just don't know if my drunken state can be resolved with meditation.

Forget it, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor! I began to meditate in my heart: cold for eternity, all things are still quiet, the mind is calm, the mind is selfless, the mind and spirit are one, and the qi should follow each other......

As he read it, his fingers could move slightly, and the sharp pain in his head was relieved a lot.

I opened my eyes suddenly, startling Ah Xiang, who was wiping my face, "Sister Xiaonan, are you okay?" ”
