Chapter 9 Can't save Tan Jing
Daoist Qingjie still had something to tell grandma, so grandma found a reason to break me away.
I sat in the living room, my mind uncontrollably thinking about what had happened in the past two days.
I don't know how long it has been, but a familiar female voice came from outside.
"Tan Jing, are you at home?"
It's the voice of my good sister's nectar.
I didn't get up to open the door, I sat on the couch and pretended I couldn't hear.
Now the whole temple village regards me and my grandmother as 'enemies'.
At this time, if you open the door, won't you throw yourself into the net?
Just when I thought she was gone, a scream rang out.
I unconsciously followed the jump and wanted to look over to look, but in the end I held back.
Grandma and Qingjie heard the scream, and came out of the room and asked me.
When I learned that it was nectar, I didn't say anything.
Daoist Qingjie walked over to me and asked, "Tan Jing, what about the reverse scales you plucked from your grandmother?" And that snakeskin. ”
I think back a few seconds and say it's in my grandmother's house.
Qingjie said, "I looked for it in your grandmother's house, but no." ”
Didn't you?
I pursed my lips and thought for a few seconds, and guessed, "Was it taken by Rong Jun?" ”
Daoist Qingjie glanced at his grandmother at this time, and then said to me that if he saw Rong Jun, help him ask.
The snakeskin and the scales were of great use to him.
I hummed and watched him leave.
In the evening, when it was almost dark, my grandmother and I were discussing leaving.
At this moment, a sharp knock came in.
"Tan Jing!" Then there was a roar of questioning, "Where's the nectar!" Where did you and your grandma get my nectar!! ”
I couldn't help but frown when I heard the voice of Manna outside.
Didn't Manna go back?
"Tan Jing! Tan Fengrong (my grandmother)! Hurry up and hand me over the nectar! Manna Daddy's voice grew louder and louder, with overwhelming anger.
Grandma and I looked at each other and whispered, "You go to the house to hide first, and I'll go over and have a look." ”
Between the previous altar matters, I glanced at my grandmother with anxiety.
Grandma patted my hand with a soothing look to reassure me.
When I entered the house, my grandmother went to open the door.
A few minutes later, Daddy Ganlu's voice shouted at the top of his voice, "The last place Ganlu went to before she disappeared was your Tan family!" ”
Manna is missing!
I leaned against the door, and the scream of manna came to my mind, and my heart beat uneasily.
Time passed little by little, and it wasn't until my grandmother came and knocked on the door of my house that I was able to come back to my senses.
Opening the door, I asked my grandmother, "Is manna really missing?" ”
Grandma nodded, and then said let me stay at home, and she and Daddy Ganlu went to find Ganlu.
I pursed my lips and wanted to say something, but my grandmother patted me on the shoulder and said, "When I find the nectar, I'll take you out of here." ”
I said "OK".
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and my grandmother had not come back yet, and I was a little worried about her.
And just then, someone knocked on the door.
Three knocks and two beats are the code that my grandmother left me before leaving.
I thought my grandmother was back, so I got up and went to open the door.
But when the door was opened, the person outside the door was not her, but the missing nectar.
Manna was wounded and looked up at me unkempt.
Before I could react, she hugged me, leaned on my shoulder and sobbed, "Tan Jing, I thought I would never see you again." ”
Remembering the three knocks and two beats just now, I broke away from her embrace, looked at her vigilantly and asked, "Ganlu, why are you here?" ”
"It's your grandma." Manna wiped the tears from her face and said, "After I met your grandmother, your grandmother told me how to knock on the door and asked me to come and wait for her." ”
I looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Yes, what about my grandma?" ”
Ganlu said, "Your grandmother and my father went to the cemetery, saying that they had something to do. ”
I stared at her face for a while, and when I saw that her expression had not changed, and there was no trace of lying, I was relieved.
There was a strong snakey smell on the nectar.
After smelling it, my nerves tensed, and I stared at her and asked where the wound and the smell of snakes came from.
As soon as the words came out, Ganlu's face became frightened, and a few words popped out of her mouth: "I, the snake, the ...... that entangles me" As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed my wrist and said with some nervousness: "Tan Jing, you must save me, I don't want to become a snake." ”
The way she looks scares me.
I calmed down and whispered a few words of reassurance to her.
After seeing that she had calmed down, I wanted to take her into the house to wait for my grandmother.
Somehow, a wave of heat rose from my body and struck all over my body.
The heat became more and more intense, as if someone had lit a fire in my body, and it burned my internal organs and began to feel uncomfortable.
My consciousness was blurring.
In the midst of the pain, I saw the nectar reach out to me.
The backs of her hands were covered with scales, and she sobbed lowly, "I don't want to be a snake, so—I'm sorry, Tan Jing." ”
I opened my mouth to speak, but my throat seemed to be choked invisibly, and I could only make a 'uh-uh' sound.
Nectar's hand covered my eyes, and what little consciousness I had left seemed to have been drained by her, and I fell into a deep sleep.
When I regained consciousness and opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange place.
Beneath his feet were shedding snakeskins, surrounded by broken nameless stone monuments.
And Ganlu, leaning on an unnamed monument, looked at me with satisfaction and said, "It's still your Tan family that is the most suitable." ”
I looked at her warily and tried to speak, only to see a forked tongue pop out of my mouth, followed by a few 'hiss'.
What's going on?!
My blood instantly coagulated, and I looked ahead in shock.
How could I ......
My tongue ......
Manna seemed to see through the doubts in my heart, hooked her lips and said, "Tan Jing, do you know what it is like for a person to become a snake?" You'll be able to understand it right away—"
Fear haunted me, and I endured the discomfort in my mouth and asked the nectar, "What the hell are you going to do?!" ”
Manna smiled meaninglessly, "Naturally, let it all come back to ......" Speaking of this, she looked at the side and said in a deep voice: "Who! ”
"Use Benjun's people to turn into snakes, have you greeted Benjun in advance?" Rong Jun's clear voice sounded, followed by a white hand around my waist.
The chill in the palm of that hand penetrated the thin fabric onto my skin, suppressing the heat in my body.
I raised my eyes and saw Rong Jun standing beside me, for some reason, I was a little excited.
Ganlu looked at Rong Jun and asked sharply, "Who are you!" How could it be here! ”
Rong Jun didn't even look at her.
With a wave of his sleeves, several red rays of light flew out towards the nectar.
Manna dodged away, and turned to me with a grim look, "The snakeskin has been draped, and the scales have been planted." No matter who you are, you can't save Tan Jing! ”
Miscellaneous...... What?!
With a shocked expression, I put my hand behind my back and touched my spine, and sure enough, I felt a few bumps on it.
