The blurred vision gradually cleared, and I saw a warm ray of sunlight pouring into the room through the window.

I wanted to tear off the oxygen mask and uncomfortable various pipes on my face, but I couldn't lift my arms because I was weak, my eyes slowly focused, and I saw that the ward was full of relatives, and the parents with gray hair on their bodies were old and tearful, and their lips trembled, and my sister squatted in front of the bed and tried to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't wipe them off, just like when she fell and cried when she was a child, she couldn't coax it.

The curve of the monitor is getting weaker and weaker, and the happy memories of childhood flashed like a slide...... Are you leaving?

In a trance, I wanted to go home, to that poor and dilapidated home full of warm memories, but I couldn't speak.

The breathing became more and more intense, the lungs were like a broken bellows, and the strength trembled out of nowhere, and he raised his hand to caress the little flower face, trying to smile.

"Brother...... Woohoo......"

The tears in the palm are warm, and the girl still loves to cry so much.

The doctor turned his head and whispered four words to the two old men, who could no longer control their tears.

The temples are like frost, the white-haired person has nowhere to talk about desolation, as a son of man, it is difficult to repay the kindness of raising in front of the filial piety, and the childhood memories come to my heart, and I feel even more ashamed of the second elder.

The body that had been tortured by a terminal illness for a long time suddenly gained strength, and his face was hot.

The relatives in the ward were crying, and they heard what the doctor said.

People have joys and sorrows, still can't believe that they will soon die, fear, unwillingness, reluctance, nostalgia, regret, heart-wrenching love, all kinds of feelings across the heart, forget it, let go, let go of everything, relaxed and no longer tired, thinking back to this birthday night busy and tired life pressure overwhelming, if there is an afterlife wish to no longer be a person.

"Son...... Don't worry about us...... Let's go in peace......"

The father's lips trembled and he cried, and his words emptied his spirit and made him even more sad.

A trace of heat slipped from the corner of his eyes, and his strength began to drain, and he wanted to say something in his mouth, but he couldn't say it because of his dry and hoarse throat, and if he didn't say it, he wouldn't have a chance.

"Right...... Not ......"

The last breath was exhaled, and the palm of his hand slipped weakly from the little girl's face.

Finally relieved......

The sky is very blue, the wind is very light, the trees are very green and the flowers are bright, and the birds are chirping pleasantly.

The curve of the monitor turned into a straight line and issued a warning sound, the once rebellious little sister threw herself on the hospital bed and no one could pull it away, the relatives supported the second elder who was paralyzed and unstable, the doctor and nurse stepped forward, the sister desperately cried and shouted to prevent the infusion tube from being pulled out and the monitor was removed, the nurse sighed, reached out and took off the oxygen mask, and pulled up the white sheet......

The autumn leaves drifted away, returned to silence, and when I looked back for a moment, the clouds were floating in a flash.

Death is the end and a new beginning, flowers bloom and fall, and the cycle continues, and all sentient beings can do is to let go of their obsessions and go with the flow.

Twenty years have passed.

100,000 mountains.

Fog in the mountain stream, splash ink to paint Danqing.

The clouds are green and green, and the water is surging and smoking.

The sky suddenly became a clear mountain curtain, and the clouds still contained a stone cloth.

The green mountains and heavy rocks are stacked on top of each other to hide the sky and cover the sun, the verdant and steep pulls out, the clouds cover the mist, the streams meander and the waterfalls splash, the apes cry and the fish leap over the egrets on the blue sky, which is picturesque like a fairyland.

By the stream, a four-meter-long white snake swims in the grass, its white is as white as jade, the snake scales are lubricated and fine, and the snake body is soft and boneless.

The snake letter spits lightly, the slender and forked snake letter captures the faint smell of food in the air, bypasses the boulder and raises the snake's head to search with a heat sensing organ, suddenly accelerates its swimming and burrows into the grass to scare away the birds, opens its upper and lower jaws and swallows five eggs the size of goose eggs, and then leaves the bird's nest without looking back to continue looking for food to satisfy its stomach.

Survival in the mountains and forests is the most important thing, hunting, eating, and maintaining physical functions.

After a long time, the white snake filled its stomach and twisted its body into the boulder pile to digest the food, the snake pupils looked at the sky outside the cave in a daze, in fact, the snake eyes can't see far, almost a high degree of myopia, and there is no external ear, through the snake letter to capture the smell and use the thermal organ to sense the temperature to search for the target, and the hearing is to rely on the abdomen to feel the vibration.

The reason why he looked at the sky in a daze was just a habit in his previous life, perhaps because he wished to stop being a human being and even reincarnate as a snake when he was dying.

The discomfort of the first life gradually faded with time, twenty years of spring and autumn wear out human nature, the memory of the previous life was gradually suppressed by animal nature, only occasionally in a daze will I remember the sad face of my family in front of the hospital bed, every day when I have nothing to do is to try my best to recall the past life, worried that maybe one day I will forget all the survival instincts, the blood is not there, and I will completely become a cold-blooded creature.

The first thing that is deliberately forgotten is the name that accompanied the previous life, and the old identity is no longer needed to be a snake in this life.

It's not that I want to deliberately forget my previous life and give up human nature, for twenty years, Ru Mao has been drinking blood and constantly fighting with natural enemies to survive, how can I still be in a sentimental mood, the picturesque fairyland is just the appearance, and the real forest is cruel.

White Snake summarizes four rules of survival.

First, be patient enough to wait for the right time.

Second, attack the weak to avoid the strong.

Thirdly, no matter how strong or weak the enemy is, when attacking, you must do your best to be cruel and bloodthirsty.

Fourth, in the face of danger, flee for your life with all your might.

With the rules of survival, from breaking out of the shell and struggling to survive to the current four-meter length, all kinds of natural predators are always with you, including the goshawk with a wingspan of two meters that has been hovering overhead, and I still remember a carelessness that was almost torn apart by the talons of an eagle, as well as the bobcats roaming nearby, and the most fearless animal, the honey badger.

Countless battles with natural enemies have made the white snake even more cold-blooded and ferocious, even if it is scarred and bloody, it still frantically fights, seizing every opportunity to pierce the skin of the other party with two sharp fangs and inject venom.

The body of the snake is well-proportioned and not very venomous, it is not the triangular head and thin neck of the venomous snake, and it is more often dependent on winding and strangling the prey, and the venom is only an auxiliary.

The weather in the mountains is like a child's face that changes when it says it, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds are thick, lightning and thunder roar.

Thunder and lightning ravaged the beasts frightened, when the lightning ended, the heavy rain crackled and fell to the ground in a blink of an eye, the white snake leaned in and was wet by the rain, the rain will lower the body temperature, snakes are cold-blooded animals are not like mammals can maintain a constant temperature, and when the rain stops and the sun rises, they have to go outside to bask in the sun to raise their body temperature to stay sensitive.

Looking at the rain curtain outside the cave, it was coiled into a plate and did not move.

The white snake's highly myopic eyes and poor hearing have just missed an incredible scene, other animals can see clearly, the lead cloud is like ink hovering, the thunder and lightning are desperately slashing at a certain mountain top, a black and yellow pattern eye-catching white-fronted tiger stands on the top of the mountain roaring in the thunder and lightning, the tiger roar is full of anger and unwillingness, no matter how many injuries are still arrogant and refuse to bow his head, the thickness of the bucket lightning splits, the wound is scorched black and bloody, and he can no longer stand up, until there is no sound again.

The stubborn and unyielding figure is deeply imprinted in the eyes of other animals, the ignorant beasts and birds do not understand, do not understand why the tiger is struck by lightning, and at the same time are more afraid of the sky overhead, this is normal, wild animals have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, instinct to keep them away from danger.

Only a few animals stared at the majestic mountain tops in the white rain, and the beasts roared one after another......
