Chapter 0005 Ask Mi Qin Family
I didn’t expect that after the blood was dripped, Mo Xiu kissed me as soon as he came out.
I blinked for a moment, a little dazed, not knowing whether I should slap him or say it was okay and let him continue to protect me.
After all, the other snake really existed and killed people.
Life is nothing compared to being taken advantage of.
Seeing me come back to my senses, Mo Xiu narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips, as if savoring the memory or trying to hide it, but there was still sadness in his eyes: "This is one of the ways to unlock the black snake pendant. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you... wouldn't be able to accept it."
It’s a good thing he didn’t tell me, otherwise I would never have shed any blood.
"Long Ling." Grandma called me from the kitchen: "It's time to eat."
I quickly turned my head to look at Mo Xiu, wanting to ask him if he wanted to have a meal together, after all, I still needed his help.
"I don't need to eat." Mo Xiu disappeared again.
I didn't know what to do for a moment as I held the black snake pendant in my hand. Then the snake body carved out of black jade seemed to come alive, slowly stretching out and beginning to swim along my palm.
Holding a snake in my hand, I almost threw it away as I was already afraid of snakes.
"Don't be afraid." Mo Xiu's voice came out from the black snake's mouth.
I saw the black snake's head raised, and the snake body that was originally coiled into a pendant was now formed into a black jade bracelet and wrapped around my wrist.
"It's time to eat. After dinner, I'll take you to meet Grandma Qin's apprentice..." Grandma came to call me again. When she saw me staring at the snake-shaped jade bracelet on my hand, a look of fear appeared on my face, as if I was not feeling well.
"Grandma?" I shook the snake-shaped jade bracelet on my hand and looked at her: "Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just like this, it's always been like this..." Grandma sighed, but her eyes were staring straight at the snake-shaped jade bracelet on my hand, and there seemed to be a helpless expression on her face.
I didn’t understand for a moment what my grandma knew. I wanted to ask her, but when I saw her distraught face, I suddenly couldn’t open my mouth.
After the meal, grandma brought incense, candles, and paper money. She also measured a liter of rice and took four freshly laid eggs from the chicken coop.
Now that I'm closer to the chicken coop, the chickens don't scream and run around anymore, but they still don't dare to come near me.
Before we left, grandma asked me to hold the goose: "Snakes are afraid of geese, so hold on to it and don't let go, or else you'll be attacked by snakes again on the road."
My grandma seemed to have been prepared for the snake incident, which made me feel even more strange.
Grandma Qin is from the next village, so my grandmother and I have to leave the village.
At the entrance of the village, Niu Er was basking in the sun after having eaten and drunk his fill. When he saw us coming out, he chuckled, "The daughter of the Long family was entangled by a snake, became a snake mother, and gave birth to a snake baby. She gave birth to a snake, but the baby's surname is Long. Don't you think it's weird? Don't you think it's strange?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" My grandmother growled at him and pulled me away.
Niu Er continued to sing to himself. Although his speech was a little unclear, he sang the nursery rhyme very clearly.
I looked at my grandmother in surprise: "What does he mean by singing? What does it mean that she gave birth to a snake baby but the surname is dragon?"
I already knew that I was entangled by a snake this morning, but what about giving birth to a snake baby?
"Don't worry about it." Grandma pulled me and pointed at the car: "Is this the car you drove back?"
I was about to nod , but my grandmother poked my head with her finger and said, "You are so risky! How old are you and you're driving? What if someone gets killed? You'll go to jail if you get caught."
When grandma scolds people, she is really powerful.
I hurriedly urged her to leave quickly, then called my mother and asked her to contact Yuan Fei to drive.
But no one answered the phone. I called my dad, and no one answered either.
I thought grandma was going to walk to the next village, but unexpectedly she hailed a motorcycle at the entrance of the village.
I also asked the motorcycle driver to arrange someone to help me move the bike, and asked them to help me see if it needed to be repaired, and then return it to them after it was repaired.
People of my grandmother’s generation are all very honest.
Grandma Qin was the one who used rice to remove snake venom for my father, and then was bitten to death by the snake on the way home.
"Her current apprentice is her niece, also surnamed Qin. We all call her Qin Mipo. You should be more polite and call her Aunt Qin." Grandma specifically told me before going in.
When we went there, Aunt Qin was helping someone ask for money, but halfway through, the person asking was kicked out.
A middle-aged woman in a green cloth gown, with her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, took a liter of rice and threw it out the door, cursing with a green face: "The rice is moldy and the eggs are black. Don't you know what you did? Come and ask me!"
The victim was an old woman who had rice splashed on her by the middle-aged woman. Her face looked gloomy and uncertain.
Pointing at the middle-aged woman, he said, "Why are you so arrogant? I don't know if you are trying to extort money from me. The rice is new this year. It was fine when I measured it from the rice jar, but it got moldy when it came to you. Maybe it was you who did it."
"You know whether it was me or not." The middle-aged woman pointed at Mi Li's broken, blackened and smelly egg and said, "Only evil people have evil eggs. You can see for yourself."
As she spoke, she threw out a large piece of meat and a plastic bag of incense, candles, and paper money: "Take your things and leave quickly!"
Grandma hurriedly pulled me aside and said, "This is Aunt Qin."
The old woman wanted to say something, but Aunt Qin turned her head and glared at her: "If you don't want everyone in the village to know about the dirty things you did, get out of here!"
"Pah!" The old woman picked up the piece of meat and the bag of incense paper, made a loud "Pah" sound, pointed at Aunt Qin and cursed: "You are the one with a black heart. Sooner or later, you will be bitten to death by a snake like Aunt Qin."
As soon as she said this, my grandmother froze and pulled me aside.
Aunt Qin snorted coldly and looked at us.
After the old woman left, he said in a deep voice: "You also heard it. When my aunt died, we said that in the future, no one from the Long family would ask for rice."
"Qin Mipo." Grandma hurriedly pulled my wrist and pointed at the black snake jade bracelet and said, "The black snake is on your wrist."
Aunt Qin looked at the black snake jade bracelet and looked at me with heavy eyes: "Are you Long Ling?"
I didn't expect that she knew me, and I nodded quickly.
Aunt Qin snorted coldly: "Do you know how you were born?"
This was when I was a child and went back to the village, I often heard villagers talking about things like thousands of snakes swarming together and groups of snakes hissing, and they said I was a snake woman.
Seeing me nod, Aunt Qin then said, "You know you are a snake girl, but you still come to me to ask for help."
"This black snake pendant was given to me by Grandma Qin!" Grandma pulled me forward and looked at Aunt Qin: "Back then, the Qin family and the Long family had..."
"Okay!" Aunt Qin interrupted grandma when she heard this: "You can't come in. If you want to ask about rice, ask outside the door!"
The old lady just now was driven out of the house, but when she came to us, she didn't even let us into the house.
I felt a little uncomfortable, but my grandma was very happy. She quickly took out the one liter of rice and four eggs.
Aunt Qin glanced at me, moved out a long table, set up an incense table, picked up two eggs and buried them in the rice, then lit the incense and candles, and threw out two cushions.
My grandma hurriedly pulled me to kneel on the mat and then started muttering something.
Aunt Qin squatted aside and burned paper, glancing at me from time to time, but as the paper burned, the burning paper went out.
Aunt Qin lit it again, and this time the paper went out as soon as it entered the brazier.
She went into the house and changed a stack of paper, but it was clearly burning when she lit it, but went out when she threw it into the brazier.
Aunt Qin's face looked a little unhappy. She gritted her teeth and actually took a red coal ball from the coal stove at home and put it in the brazier.
But even so, the obviously dry paper, when thrown into the paper tray, looked like wet paper, turning black and not catching fire.
Beads of sweat slowly appeared on Aunt Qin's forehead. She turned her head to look at me, then raised her head and looked at the incense burning in the incense burner, as if she had figured something out.
He got up and took out the egg buried in the rice, put it on the table, looked at my grandmother and said, "Look, it's not that I didn't ask. The paper won't burn if the snake breathes out. The egg buried in the rice will be stained by the snake."
As she spoke, she smashed the two eggs onto the ground.
They were clearly eggs that had just been taken out of the chicken coop, but inside the cracked egg liquid were two little snakes with their eyes closed.
Once the egg broke, it twisted a few times in the egg liquid and then became motionless and dead.
My grandmother was so scared that she pulled me back two steps and looked at Aunt Qin: "But back then, the Qin family and the Long family..."
Aunt Qin's face darkened. "I don't want to follow in my aunt's footsteps and be bitten to death by a snake. This is the snake's warning to me. You should go back and take a look. I'm afraid something has happened at home."
"We'll talk about what happened between the Qin and Long families after you find the snake coffin." Aunt Qin looked at the two snake corpses on the ground and the other eggs that grandma brought: "Open these two and take a look."
Grandma took out four eggs in total, and now there are two left. When she heard Aunt Qin's words, she didn't care about anything else and smashed them on the ground.
Just like the ones buried in the rice just now, there is a little snake in each egg.
My grandma was sweating profusely and pulled me home.
"Let her find the snake coffin, she knows." Mo Xiu suddenly said: "The black snake pendant saved their Qin family back then, now it's their turn to repay them."
I looked at Aunt Qin and was about to speak, but Aunt Qin shouted, "You'd better leave quickly. Something happened at home."
Her tone clearly indicated that she was trying to chase him away, and she was about to close the door.
But I felt something cold crawling across my wrist, and then the black snake jade bracelet fell to the ground.
"Are you going to chase me away too? You Qin family members are so brave!" Mo Xiu landed on the ground and turned into a human form, shouting in a deep voice.
Aunt Qin was about to slam the door, but when she saw Mo Xiu, her legs trembled and her knees weakened. She knelt down and said, "Snake Lord, I dare not! I dare not!"
