Chapter 0015 Regret
When I asked this question, my mother just looked at me solemnly and said, "Long Ling, I have no choice."
She opened the door and closed it heavily, but did not leave. She just leaned against the bathroom door and cried softly.
My mother is famous for her toughness. If she doesn't like the way she plays cards, she will overturn the table.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen her cry.
But at this moment, she was leaning outside the bathroom door, crying quietly.
I watched the shoulders shaking on the frosted glass, but I didn't know how to comfort her.
I turned on the faucet and used cold water to rinse the wounds on my feet caused by thorns. When the water gradually became warm, I began to wash.
The sound of the rushing water covered up the sound of my mother's sobs.
Amid the sound of water, Mo Xiu whispered in my ear: "Don't blame your parents, they have tried their best."
I took a shower and came out. My mother had calmed down. She handed me a towel to wipe my hair and took me downstairs.
When facing the police, I still said what my mother told me.
"It's summer now, and snakes and insects are everywhere. Yesterday, Chen Quan and his family of three were sent to the hospital because they were bitten by a snake." The policeman put away the transcript and looked at my dad and said, "Don't sell snake wine recently."
My dad quickly handed me a cigarette and said, "How dare you? I won't do it again."
After sending the police away, my dad came back and looked at the empty shelves on both sides.
I took out my cell phone and called my grandma: "We found her. She's fine. Don't worry. You'll know when you come to see her tomorrow. Well, we won't go back to the village for now, okay!"
He hung up the phone, then looked at me and said, "Your uncle has cancer and is dying, so he ran away from home. Your aunt will report him missing tomorrow."
"As for your cousin Long Xia, the reason was that the pressure of the college entrance examination was too great, because your cousin disappeared, she quarreled with her family and ran away from home."
A scene flashed through my mind, in which the grave pit turned into a square mouth and swallowed the father and daughter, but in the end, my cousin looked at me and smiled.
From what my dad said, he seemed to know what was going on there.
He took a deep breath and said, "What about the villagers?"
"They won't tell." My dad held the cigarette in his hand and laughed sarcastically, "They didn't tell us about what happened eighteen years ago. Now that someone has died, they won't tell us either."
I suddenly felt that I didn’t understand my parents very well: “How did you escape? Didn’t your uncle catch you?”
Now I can't tell what's real.
My dad looked a little hurt, but he still explained it to me.
They were indeed caught by my cousin when they were looking for Chen Quan, also in that cave.
But Niu Er was special. He wanted to join the villagers in the fun, but was rejected. He stumbled along the way, found my parents, and saved them.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly remembered what Niu Er said when he met me.
He said he was not guarding the village, but me.
It seems that there are some things that I need to ask Niu Er.
"Where is Hanzhu?" I remember Zhang Hanzhu was locked in a cage.
"Your cousin didn't want to harm her, he just wanted to delay Taoist Zhang. It was Taoist Zhang himself who saved Zhang Hanzhu. I have already talked to Taoist Zhang, and he won't pursue this matter." My father waved his hand at me.
He said in a deep voice: "You've been tired all day, why don't you go to bed first? Do you want to eat anything? I'll order takeout for you."
He obviously doesn't want me to ask again!
I rubbed the wound on my arm and said, "What is a snake coffin? Eighteen years ago, did you and mom agree with my cousin to bury me in that coffin? Why?"
The girls of the Long family have been buried there for generations. My grandmother knew it, and my parents must have known it too, otherwise they would not have returned to the village to give birth when they were pregnant with me.
But Long Xia is obviously older than me, why did my parents agree to replace me?
Although my father eventually beat Liu Longting to death and did not bury me immediately, the root of the disaster is still buried.
And why did my uncle have to find the snake coffin? Did he want to bury himself in it or his father?
When my father heard me ask, pain flashed in his eyes and he stood up suddenly.
Pointing at me, he said, "You are my child, I can do whatever I want to you. I should have buried you in a coffin when you were born, otherwise I wouldn't have caused such a thing today!"
I was suddenly shocked. I looked at my father with heavy eyes, tears flashed before my eyes. I opened my mouth and gasped. I wanted to say something but my throat seemed to be choked.
It turns out that in my dad's eyes, all these things were caused by me!
Yes, that’s right. If they had buried me back then and buried someone else now, this would never have happened!
I was breathing heavily, and something warm was flowing down my face, but my eyes were still looking at my father solemnly: "Then why didn't you bury me back then?"
My father looked at me, his face flashing with guilt and pain, what else did he want to say...
"Long Qixu!" My mother shouted suddenly, pulled me up, glared at my father with anger in her eyes, and then pulled me upstairs.
When we got to my room, my mom just said to me, "Something like this happened in the village. Several people escaped from there tonight and died from snake venom. Your dad was also under a lot of pressure, so he was talking nonsense. You should go to bed early and you will be fine after a good sleep."
"The snake coffin is calling me." I lay on the bed.
He lifted the black snake jade bracelet on his wrist and showed it to my mother: "Do you know Liu Longting? My cousin knows his name and has nailed his snake body and hidden it. Why?"
My mother looked at the jade bracelet on my wrist with heavy eyes and touched my face: "Go to sleep."
Maybe I was tired after a whole day, or maybe it was the first time my mother was so intimate with me, I felt a little dazed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, I seemed to hear the voice of my mother talking to another man, and the voice sounded a bit like Mo Xiu.
I wanted to open my eyes, but they seemed to be covered and I couldn't open them. I fell into a deep sleep again.
Not long after I fell asleep, I felt hot all over, as if something was itching in my bones, and as if something was about to flow out.
Even if I kicked off the quilt, a thin layer of sweat continued to pour out of my body, my face began to feel hot, and the center of my legs became itchy.
The intimate scenes in the comic books that Zhang Hanzhu and I had secretly read in the past immediately came to my mind, and I couldn't help but pull the quilt over and clamp it tightly between my legs.
But I still couldn't control it, the itch came from my bones.
I was dazed, but I seemed to hear someone calling me again: "Long Ling, Long Ling... Come quickly, quickly!"
The sound was mixed with the hissing sound of a snake, which made my body even tenser, as if something was slowly flowing out down my legs.
"Don't listen." A slightly cool hand covered my ears.
I don't know when Mo Xiu lay down next to me: "It's a snake coffin."
I looked at his face in a daze, slowly moved closer, and pressed my hot face against his, and sure enough, I felt relieved.
"Long Ling." Mo Xiu pulled me down and said in a deep voice, "Your snake poison has taken effect."
Liu Longting said that this poison would become more and more uncomfortable day by day.
"Mo Xiu, I'm so hot." He didn't let me touch his face, so I put my face on his hand.
Mo Xiuchen sighed: "This kind of poison can't be soaked in water. Put on clothes and soak them in rice to relieve it with the cool yin energy of the rice."
I just felt my whole body go limp, my legs kept twisting, I wished I could turn into two snake tails, but my hands tightly hugged Mo Xiu: "I'm really hot..."
