Chapter 58: The python seems to be in the water
She changed the habit of taking a shower once in the morning and evening to one every two or three days.
But despite the shortcomings of the almost non-existent bathing facilities, this place is actually quite good.
The water is clean, and you can see the moss-covered bottom when the light is good during the day, but now in the evening, when the light is darker, you can see the large brown stones in the shallow part of the pool.
Qin Min squatted on the edge of the pool, lightly splashed water to wet his body, and adapted to the temperature of the water before slowly stepping on the big stone.
There were stones to put on her feet, and the pool of water was just over her chest.
She bent down and buried her head in the water, wetting her hair before gently scrubbing it.
I feel that after eating the barbecue, my hair is very greasy, and there is no shampoo to remove the stain, and no matter how I scrub it, it is oily.
Qin Min was thinking about when the giant python would leave here, and he could go to the mountains to find the soap horn used to wash his hair in ancient times.
Suddenly, she saw a bubble the size of a ping-pong ball appear two meters away from her.
Qin Min's pupils trembled slightly, and the fingers rubbing his hair stopped suddenly.
It is normal for plants to ferment biogas under the bottom of some lakes and ponds, and one or two blisters are formed.
The surface of the water calmed down for a while, as if the bubbles were an illusion.
Qin Min was in no mood to wash down, and was about to rush back to the shore after rubbing his body, but he saw a bubble coming out of the water.
The bubble was only half a meter away from her.
A shiver spread rapidly from his chest to his whole body, and goosebumps appeared on every inch of his skin.
Qin Min's heart was tense, and he stared at the place where the bubble disappeared, but he couldn't see what the pool was like below.
Even the brown stone that she could see under her feet was gone, only swarthy......
Swarthy?
Qin Min's pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost screamed.
That python...... Is it right at her feet?
For a moment, Qin Min only felt something slippery and cold on his instep sliding slowly.
Breathlessly, he held his breath.
Qin Min tensed his body, clenched his teeth that were about to tremble, and tried his best to stay calm, without kicking the giant python away.
I guess I can't kick it.
Her whole body, including her fingertips, was as motionless as a stone, and only her heart was beating wildly like a roller coaster.
His legs seemed to be infected by the strange touch, and they became stiff and cold.
The tip of the thick tail used to coil around things, and the moment it left her body, it slipped up from the top of her feet to her calves, and it took half a circle before it was withdrawn.
Qin Min's eyes were red, and he forcibly endured the panic, pressing the scream to his throat.
For a long time, the chilling touch seemed to remain on the instep of her foot
Only the shallow waves of the breeze were left on the surface of the water, Qin Min suppressed the urge to run away frantically, stared at the surface of the water, and did not see the blisters.
Only then did he move slowly towards the edge of the pond at a speed as slow as a tree otter, not daring to stir up even the slightest sound of water.
Fu Minglai hadn't heard the sound of water for a long time, and he was suspicious, so he had to call: "Little lady? ”
“……”
Fu Minglai frowned, and called again: "Little lady? Answer me, or I'll come over. ”
Qin Min bit his lower lip tightly.
She was now moving more slowly and carefully than a turtle, and how could she dare to respond loudly, not afraid that the python would run back and rub her feet.
Fu Minglai waited for a moment, but before he heard the sound, his brows frowned slightly, and he had no choice but to go around the rock.
The people in the pool, with wet hair and shawls, jade shoulders exposed on the water, their hands clasped around their chests to hide the spring light, and their eyes were red and staring at him.
Fu Minglai immediately stopped and quickly turned his back.
He said slowly, "I'm sorry, you haven't spoken, I thought something happened to you." ”
He didn't wait for Qin Min's reply, and strode back behind the rock.
Qin Min had no intention of asking Fu Ming for help, and he didn't think it would be useful to ask him for help, and he was secretly relieved to see him leave quickly.
The human movement speed is much slower than that of the snake, but I am afraid that as soon as she shouts for help, the giant python will gnaw half of her body.
Qin Min cautiously froze in place, staring at the rippling water surface with the wind.
After a while, he continued to walk very slowly to the edge of the pool, and then slowly and quietly climbed out of the pool.
The eyes did not dare to deviate from the waterhole for a moment, for fear that if they missed the eye, they would face a huge and gloomy snake's head.
She grabbed her clothes from the waterhole, and without caring to dry them, she hastily put them on her body.
staring at the waterhole again, he slowly retreated to the side of the rock, and whispered in a tight voice: "Fu Minglai." ”
Fu Minglai was a little distracted, and suddenly heard Qin Min's voice appear beside him, and was stunned, "Little lady, have you finished taking a bath?" ”
Qin Min didn't answer his words, stared at the pool ten meters away, and suppressed his voice, "Come here." ”
Fu Minglai had never heard Qin Min speak in such a commanding tone, but he inexplicably felt that it was very appropriate.
He walked up to Qin Min and said puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
Qin Min's throat was like a gear that had not been oiled for many years, and he rolled up and down with difficulty, barely spitting out a few words.
"That python looks like it's in the water."
Her teeth chattered, and she didn't dare to reveal some fear until this moment.
Fu Minglai's face changed suddenly.
He quickly pulled Qin Min behind him with one hand, took off the iron axe pinned to his waist with the other, and stared at the waterhole with cold eyes.
Qin Min leaned his forehead against the solid back, and slowly breathed deeply, trying to calm down the terrifying feeling.
"When I was washing my hair, I saw blisters floating on the surface of the water, as if the python was breathing."
"Also, the python seems to have slipped over my instep."
Fu Minglai's face sank, listening to this terrifying picture, he could fully imagine that the little lady was scared at that time.
He didn't interrupt her, and listened quietly, until he felt that the emotions of the person behind him had calmed down, and then he calmed down, "I know, I'll go into the water and take a look." ”
Qin Min didn't expect him to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What else is there to see here, since the giant python is here, don't we have to flee this place quickly?" ”
Qin Min wanted to escape from this puddle quickly, but his feet were as weak as noodles, and he couldn't escape at all.
Fu Minglai shook his head and said calmly: "It's useless, if we are targeted by this giant python, we won't be able to escape at all." ”
Qin Min bit his lower lip, his thoughts wandering.
Is this python eyeing them? Why else would it be here?
Didn't they sprinkle a ring of brimstone outside?
Qin Min gritted his teeth and said nervously: "Is there a hole under the bottom of this pool leading to the outside, and this giant python came to us through the hole at the bottom of the pool?" ”
Fu Minglai nodded, "There is indeed a hole at the bottom of the pool, but the hole is very small. ”
Qin Min's tone became faster and faster like a machine gun, "If this giant python didn't come in from the bottom of the pool, could it have crawled in from the outside?" Is it not afraid of any brimstone at all? ”
Fu Minglai pressed her shoulder, "Little lady, calm down." ”
