Chapter 0014 Looking Back
"Mo Xiu." When I saw Mo Xiu coming out, I grabbed him, exerted force suddenly, and picked up the snake's body with the bamboo pole.
Looking at Liu Longting: "You are dead too, believe it or not, I can poke this dead snake into several pieces."
I pulled Mo Xiu back slowly and said to him in a deep voice: "If you can't hold on, go back to the Black Snake Jade Bracelet first."
Mo Xiu seemed to be restrained by something, lacking energy and unable to exert too much strength.
He had just stopped Liu Longting twice, and this time he was probably just holding on.
"Haha!" Liu Longting laughed loudly and looked at me and said, "The snake coffin is about to come out , but you let Mo Xiu go first? Long Ling, you don't know what a snake coffin is, right?"
"The daughter of the Long family has been sacrificed, and the snake coffin is about to come out. Do you want to take a look?" Liu Longting pointed to the grave.
He smiled at me and said, "Do you know why, eighteen years ago, even though your cousin was only a month older than you, the Long family waited until you were born to sacrifice you in the snake coffin?"
"Just because your cousin was bewitched and refused to bring your cousin back, he also bribed everyone in the village with money, just waiting for you to be born and bury you." Liu Longting's voice was cold.
As if telling a joke: "But when the coffin was opened, they saw the gold and silver treasures that had been passed down from generation to generation in the coffin. They became greedy and instigated your father to beat me to death. As long as he killed me, they wouldn't have to bury you alive."
"You are so powerful, how can you beat him to death?" I looked at Liu Longting, not quite believing it.
"It definitely wouldn't work at other times, and it wouldn't work with other people either, but at that time I was shedding my skin and returning to my original nature, and the person who beat me was your father, so I was beaten to death." Liu Longting was filled with resentment.
He looked at me with gloomy eyes and said, "Poor dad, I bit him and he almost died. But your cousin led the villagers to divide up the gold and silver treasures. In your village, except for your family, other families live so well. They don't work, but they have plenty of money. The funny thing is that you just saved them."
"Your cousin was sick and dying, but he wanted to bury himself in a snake coffin. He wanted to live with the snake coffin, and he wanted to protect your cousin after his death."
"These villagers are still thinking about picking up gold and silver, and they also joined in the commotion to look for the snake coffin. I just asked your cousin to come back and let him fulfill his wish in Longming Mountain." Liu Longting slowly raised his head.
The rain hit his face, and he seemed to enjoy it: "Mo Xiu, you can't protect Long Ling. You can stop me, can you stop the snake coffin?"
As soon as Liu Longting finished speaking, the snakes in the grave pit began to crawl out in fear, and the calling voice from the grave pit came again: "Long Ling... Long Ling..."
My legs began to involuntarily move towards the grave again, and Liu Longting hurriedly hugged me.
I turned my head and looked at Liu Longting in confusion: "Not you ?"
Liu Longting chuckled: "I just want to sleep with you in the snake coffin, but I don't want the snake coffin to eat you."
"What exactly is a snake coffin?" I held the bamboo pole and shook the snake's body: "If you don't tell me, I will throw your snake body in."
But Liu Longting didn't care at all. He stretched out his hand slightly, and the snake body with several nails nailed on it swam towards me quickly along the pole.
Mo Xiu hugged me, grabbed the dead snake with one hand, and threw it into the grave pit: "Liu Longting, go look for it in the snake coffin."
Just as Mo Xiu was taking me to escape downstream, I glanced across the grave pit. I saw that the entire grave pit looked like a square bloody mouth, or like a coffin covered with a bright red velvet mat.
The bodies of my uncle and cousin were slowly sinking, and Liu Longting's snake body also fell down.
At that glance, my cousin who was falling down seemed to open her eyes. Her pale face showed a strange smile. She looked at me and said, "Long Ling, come quickly!"
Obviously, Long Xia had sunk very far down, but that voice seemed to ring in her mind, the same as the calling voice.
"Don't look!" Mo Xiu waved his black sleeves to cover my eyes, and ran out quickly with me.
In the distance, Liu Longting didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He just walked slowly towards the grave pit and then jumped down.
Mo Xiu ran a short distance before he ran out of breath. He turned his head and looked at me and said, "Once you get here, Snake Coffin will not call you again. Run on your own and don't go back to the village."
I looked at his pale face and nodded: "You rest first."
Mo Xiu didn't even have time to nod his head before his body became transparent and then disappeared.
I ran downstream along the stream, and before I had gone far, I heard a chuckle: "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 last name is Long. Don't you think it's weird? Don't you think it's strange?"
When I looked up, I saw Niu Er holding a broken umbrella, looking at me with a low laugh: "Long Ling, hehe, Long Ling!"
I looked at Niu Er and immediately felt relieved.
He hurried over and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you going to guard the village?"
Niu Er held the broken umbrella over my head and looked at me with his scruffy face: "Long Ling, Long Ling..."
As he was reciting, he looked in the direction of the grave.
The voice seemed less confused, as if it sighed deeply and softly: "I'm not guarding the village, I'm just guarding you."
I was stunned for a moment, but then I burst into laughter and clapped my hands and shouted, "Long Ling is here, Long Ling is here."
As he said that, he pulled me up and ran out.
I didn't run far before I saw my parents wearing raincoats, holding flashlights and sticks, and searching the mountain with a few policemen.
As soon as she saw me, my mother rushed over and hugged me: "Long Ling, are you okay? Are you okay?"
"Mom!" I was relieved when I saw that my parents were fine.
I was about to talk about the snake coffin, but my dad said directly: "My daughter is scared. I will take her back to take a bath first. If there is anything, I will accompany her to take the statement later."
The policemen seemed relieved and said that as long as the person was fine,
My mother pulled me out, and my father handed a pack of cigarettes to Niu Er, but then he shook my hand and signaled me not to talk nonsense.
"Where is Hanzhu?" I thought of Zhang Hanzhu who was imprisoned and turned to look at my mother.
"Hanzhu is in the hospital with Taoist Zhang. It's okay. You can call her later." My father held a cigarette in his mouth.
I was just about to light it, but I tried the lighter again and again, but the cigarette just wouldn't light up. Even when I tried another one, it was still wet.
"Why are you smoking? Aren't you afraid of choking Long Ling?" My mother hugged me and glared at my father.
"Have a cigarette to calm yourself down." But my dad didn't care at all and held the cigarette in his mouth and handed it to the policeman in front of him.
But when it comes to my dad, no matter how he lights the cigarette, it's wet.
I reached out and touched the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist, and my heart suddenly felt warm.
We went straight back to town and didn't go to the village.
My dad was entertaining the police in the store downstairs, and my mom accompanied me upstairs to take a shower.
I took the clothes to the bathroom, but my mother had no intention of leaving. She stood at the door and looked at me: "Let me see."
"It's really nothing." I knew what she was worried about, and said in a deep voice: "I just stayed at Qin Mipo's place for one night."
"There's no part of your body that I haven't seen. I won't feel at ease unless I see it. If you don't take it off, I'll do it!" My mother stood aside and growled at me.
As soon as she finished yelling, the calmness she had when facing the police disappeared. Her whole body was shaking and she leaned against the bathroom door, as if her body was about to slide down.
From childhood to adulthood, my mother never seemed to care about anything.
He could lose thousands or tens of thousands playing cards in one night without blinking an eye, but now his eyes are red and his eyelids are trembling, as if he is about to collapse at any time.
"I'll take it off." I took off my clothes one by one, and when I pulled on my shirt, the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist moved.
Thinking that Mo Xiu had put out my dad's cigarette, he must be conscious at this moment, and my face turned red instantly.
After I took off my clothes one by one, my mother still looked me around with a worried look on her face. She only felt relieved after making sure that apart from the scratches, there was nothing wrong.
She washed her face with cold water, calmed down, and then said, "When you see the police later, you can say that it was because Chen Quan's wife upstairs died and you were retaliated by his mother, so you went to hide at your relatives' house, but they caught up with you and caused trouble, so you hid in the mountains, and then called the police when you encountered a group of snakes."
"But what about the death of my uncle and cousin? And those people in the village..." I hugged my body tightly and looked at my mother and said, "You want to hide it?"
I thought of the most important thing: "The snake coffin is still in the grave, and there is also the snake named Liu Longting. We..."
"Don't mention the snake coffin!" My mother turned around and looked at me, her eyes bloodshot and she was breathing heavily. "Long Ling, forget about these things. Don't mention snakes and snake coffins. Your uncle and cousin's affairs have nothing to do with us."
"But..." I was a little confused.
But my mother waved her hands helplessly: "Just deal with the police like this first, and we'll deal with the rest later."
"You and Dad have always known about the snake coffin, right?" I crossed my arms.
I got goosebumps all over my body, looked at my mother with gloomy eyes and said, "So, except for the New Year, you don't bring me back to the village on other days."
"Yes." My mother held the handle of the bathroom door.
She looked back at me and said, "The year I married your father, my aunt from Longming Mountain was entangled by a snake. One day, she ran out from the back of the mountain with scratches all over her body, and she smelled strongly of snakes."
"The next day, the Long family moved the grave and buried her in that coffin. It's the grave you see, which was also the place where the grave was dug when you were born." My mother's voice was light and sad.
I felt a little cold: "If you know all this, why did you go back to relocate the grave when you were pregnant with me? You should also know that they were going to bury me there."
