On the day I was born, my parents were moving the ancestral grave in their hometown, and when they moved the coffin, they found that there was a colorful snake as big as a thin bowl, a black bag on its head, and its snake skin was white.

At that time, Mr. Feng Shui said that the snake had a white skin on its head, and it was about to molt.

My dad caught this snake to make wine, who knew that this snake was also very fierce when it molted, and bit my dad, and my dad was angry and killed directly.

My mom heard that my dad was bitten by a snake and was in a hurry to deliver snake medicine, and was kicked by a snake with a thick belt on the mountain road, so she started it at that time.

When I was born, I was surrounded by thousands of snakes, with their heads half high, and they hissed at my mother, as if they were roaring and worshipping.

Seeing this, Mr. Feng Shui, who moved the grave of my family, didn't even ask for money, ran away directly, and moved out of our town.

That night, the torrential rain roared, and a thunderbolt split the ancestral grave that my family had just moved, and the big snake that my father had killed was gone.

My dad was unconscious for three days in a row, talking nonsense, and my grandmother went to beg the famous Mi Po in ten miles and eight towns.

After Mi Po asked Mi, she said that the problem was not with my dad, but with me, and then gave my grandmother a piece of black serpentine jade, and asked my grandmother to give it to me when I became an adult, and used glutinous rice to pull out poison for my dad.

My dad woke up that night, but on the way home, Mi Po was bitten to death by a snake.

People in the village said that my father killed the big snake in the ancestral grave that was about to turn into a dragon, and the snake retaliated.

He also said that I was remembered by snakes when I was born, and I was afraid that it would be unlucky.

My dad didn't believe this, but my mom gave birth to me prematurely, and my family moved to town, and my dad was still in the snake wine business.

For as long as I can remember, I've often dreamed of snakes, a giant serpent with a swarthy body, and no matter what I dream, the snake will always be in my dreams.

Or hovering, or raising your head, or hanging, just staring at me quietly.

The strange thing is that the morning after I finished dreaming of snakes, there would always be snakes coiled outside my house, sometimes several, sometimes many, and my father would catch them to soak in snake wine.

I told my parents about this dream, and they would yell at me when they were annoyed by my questioning: "Long Ling, if you dream of a snake as a little girl, either you have good fortune in the near future, or you will have a boy in the future, it is a good thing." Children don't believe in those feudal superstitions!"

But as I grew up, the giant snake that had been dreaming became clearer and clearer, and sometimes when I woke up in the middle of the night, I could feel the snake lying beside me.

With a slight movement of the fingers in the bed, it seemed as if they could touch the cold, rough scales.

Maybe it's because I've been dreaming about it, but I'm getting used to it, and sometimes in my dreams, I'll say a few words to the serpent, what do you want to do, what do you want, why do you keep in my dreams, or something like that.

But the giant snake didn't pay attention to me at all, and looked at me indifferently.

On the night of my eighteenth birthday, the giant snake in my dream no longer just looked at me from a distance, but slowly crawled over.

I instinctively wanted to escape, but in my dream, I couldn't move, and the snake slowly crawled to my side.

I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat and closed my eyes trying to wake up.

"What are you thinking? His forehead was covered with sweat. "The black snake crawled up to me and slowly turned into a man in a black robe.

The facial features are like knives, the eyes are dark like stars, and the thin lips are lightly pursed.

When I saw this face, I was suddenly stunned.

The black-robed man seemed to be weak and boneless, lying beside me, just looking up at me: "You ask Long Qixu to move all the snake wine out tomorrow, that snake is coming, and not a single snake can stay in your house." ”

His voice was deep and urgent, and as he spoke, he seemed to be afraid of something, and looked around with his head held high: "There must not be a single snake left." ”

Then he slowly turned into a black snake, and sadness seemed to flash in his eyes: "Dragon Spirit, I can't protect you outside, you have to be careful." ”

When the black snake crawled away, I woke up from my dream.

The room was very quiet, I stared at the ceiling, I didn't dare to turn my head, but I carefully moved my finger to the side where the black snake was lying in the dream just now, and I was sure that it was the quilt, and then I breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

My dad's snoring in the next room was so loud that I sweated and went downstairs to drink water.

My house is a self-built three-story building in the town, the first floor is the façade, the second floor is my own residence, and the third floor is rented to a family of four who do business in the town.

The water cooler was just around the corner of the stairs, and I was still thinking about what I had just dreamed about.

The black snake has become a human, and I asked my dad to move the snake wine away, as if he was still afraid of another snake that was coming?

I was so thirsty that I didn't turn on the light, so I picked up the cup and drank it.

The water dispenser was bubbling with water, and faintly, there seemed to be some "rattling" sound of pumping water in the store.

It was as if something was constantly slapping on the glass, and the vibration was "popping".

I held the glass of water and thought of what the black snake said in my dream, and I felt chills all over my body.

I took the water glass, turned on the light, and slowly walked towards the shelf where my dad put snake wine.

There are two large shelves against the wall of the shop, on which are snake wine, all kinds of snakes, which are soaked in various medicinal herbs.

The light shines through the amber wine, and the snakes that usually soak at the bottom seem to come to life, or colorful, or striped snake bodies, swimming slowly against the glass bottle.

Some even slapped the glass bottle heavily with the tail of the snake, shaking the "whoosh" sound of the wine.

I clutched the glass of water in fright, and at the same time, all the snakes turned around in the glass bottle, and the snake head was raised and the glass bottle was closed.

His closed eyes slowly opened, staring at me through the glass, the snake's tail flapping at the glass bottle in a strange rhythm.

Those pair of snake eyes seemed to shine with a faint green light, which made my head dizzy.

The sound of the snake's tail flapping converged, but it became a "hiss" sound, as if to call me: "Dragon Spirit, Dragon Spirit." ”

I wanted to run, but when I turned around, I saw green snake eyes, as if all around were made of snake wine bottles, and there was a snake in each glass bottle, staring at me coldly, hissing at me.

As the world turned, I seemed to hear a voice in my head roaring, followed by the black-robed man who suddenly appeared beside me.

As soon as the wide sleeves of the black robe were spread, he covered my head: "Don't look!"

My eyes went dark, and then I seemed to hear countless sounds of water, and then my eyes lit up.

The black-robed man was still standing beside me, his body shaky, his face was pale, and even his beautiful thin lips were bloodless.

He said solemnly to me, "Tomorrow you must send all the snakes away, and not a single one will be left." I can only come out once, I can't ......"

Before he could finish speaking, his figure slowly faded, and then disappeared.

The shop seemed to be very quiet, and on the two rows of shelves, all the snakes in the snake wine bottles seemed to be dead, turning over and belly up, floating in the amber liquor.

Snake wine is the best live snake, and my dad is most proud of the fact that the snakes in every bottle of snake wine in his store are alive.

But now, all the snakes have turned their bellies.

I grabbed my glass of water and ran upstairs as fast as I could.

Wake me up to my dad's loud snoring.

"Long Ling, what are you arguing about, you don't have to study tomorrow!" My dad was a little angry and muttered to me: "Your mother has no energy to play mahjong tomorrow, and she loses the cards, see if she doesn't scold you." ”

"All the snakes are dead. I shouted.

But he still concealed the matter of the black snake: "I went down to drink water, and I saw that the snakes soaked in the snake wine were all turned over. ”

My dad woke up immediately, and he didn't care about waking up my mom, so he hurried downstairs without wearing shoes, and then my dad's angry voice came downstairs.

I still had lingering palpitations about those snake wines, and I just looked at my dad around the corner: "Before anyone knows, you lost it all, right?"

"You know what, it's all money. My dad was so angry that he raked his hair and waved at me: "Okay, you go to sleep." It's an adult business, you don't care. ”

"It's not good if people know that the snake wine you brewed is a dead snake, let's deal with it all today, don't mess up the signboard. "I thought about Black Snake's words, but I still didn't give up.

My dad valued his sign of live snake wine the most, and nodded a little impatiently.

At noon, I made a point of calling my mom from school, and my dad seemed to be making loud calls to sell snake wine to customers.

My mother estimated that she was playing cards with her mobile phone, and said impatiently: "It's all sold, your father has been in business for so many years, how can there be dozens of bottles of snake wine that can't be sold, and there are not enough old customers." ”

At dinner, I took a taxi back to take a look at the book under the pretext that I forgot to bring my book.

I'm sure all the snake wine on the shelf is gone, and I still admire my dad.

After self-study in the evening, my dad picked me up.

He told me proudly: "Your dad has a big sale today, and the snake wine is sold out, which is a lot of money." When you finish the college entrance examination, we will take you on a trip and take the test well!

I was relieved to make sure there were no bottles of snake wine left on the shelves in the store.

My mom probably took the money today and went to play mahjong, and my dad sent me home and was called out for a drink again.

I was alone at home, and after I washed up, I was ready to go back to my room to sleep, thinking that if I dreamed of that black snake again, I must ask him what was going on.

Before closing the door, I seemed to hear the sound of the third floor slapping water, which sounded like the sound of those snake tails slapping on glass bottles last night.
