Chapter 0019: The Wrath of the Snake Woman
My seventh cousin glanced at me and said, "Didn't Long Xia get bitten to death by a snake and then the snake coffin fell off? How could she possibly get out?"
"It's impossible. The snake coffin won't accept dead girls from the Long family, nor will it accept girls from the Long family who don't want to be put into the coffin. But it won't spit out the dead people who have been sacrificed in the coffin. She is really a snake witch... a snake witch!" The seventh uncle's face was full of disbelief.
He shouted to the side: "Flame thrower, flame thrower! Burn the snake woman to death, bury the dragon spirit, and offer sacrifices to the snake coffin. May your descendants be prosperous and wealthy!"
The villagers seemed to be very afraid of Long Xia, especially the person who came to look for the snake coffin that night and saw Long Xia die in the snake's nest with his own eyes. He was so scared that his legs and feet became weak.
Long Xia just chuckled and walked slowly forward with her mouth still open.
As she got closer, all the dead snakes that were pressing on the coffin seemed to come alive.
The drooping snake's tail hit the coffin, making a snapping sound.
At the same time, a blood-red snake the size of a two-finger ring slowly emerged from Long Xia's mouth.
As soon as the blood snake came out, it hissed and stuck out its tongue.
Those dead snakes hanging on the coffins, whether with heads or not, all seemed to come alive.
Aunt Liu next to her was so scared that she opened her mouth to scream, but before she could utter half of the sound, a dead snake with its head cut off swung its tail and went straight into Aunt Liu's mouth.
The snake's tail was still swinging outside, but in the blink of an eye, half of its body had already gone in.
This scene scared me so much that I clenched my teeth and felt nauseous in my throat.
The bloody snake that Long Xia spat out of her mouth hissed, and the dead snakes that came back to life twisted their bodies and rushed towards the villagers.
They were already dead and were not afraid of being hit by the bamboo sticks.
Even if the flamethrower was sprayed to the maximum, the snake still pounced on the villagers with its body on fire.
When the fiery snakes pounced on people, they would immediately catch fire, causing people to scream in pain, but they would only focus on drilling into people's mouths.
In the roaring firelight, besides the hissing sound of snakes, there were also the shouts of the villagers themselves.
For a moment, it felt like hell on earth, even more terrifying than when I was bitten by a live snake that night.
This scene was too weird. I suddenly didn’t want to know what a snake coffin or a snake lady was.
I quickly asked Mo Xiu to help me untie the rope and quickly climbed over the coffin next to me.
At this moment, all the dead snakes jumped out. Compared with the dead snakes that came back to life, the coffins were not scary at all.
Just as I climbed onto the coffin and was about to jump down, I felt a chill on my neck.
My seventh cousin held a kitchen knife and put it on my neck: "Crawl back and lie down in the grave. I'll fill you with soil. Otherwise, I'll cut your neck with a knife. You're going to die anyway."
I quickly lay still: "You deal with the snake woman first."
"As long as you offer sacrifices to the snake coffin, the snake lady is nothing!" The seventh uncle's face was filled with madness.
The kitchen knife slashed hard: "Hurry up!"
My neck was slightly painful, and something warm was flowing down my neck.
"Seventh cousin." I turned my head to look at him and said in a deep voice, "Let's save the villagers first, and then run away."
"Why save anyone? They're all going to die." Seventh cousin's eyes flashed and he pressed down with a kitchen knife.
I felt a sudden pain in my neck.
But his face was full of excitement: "Hurry up before the snake lady comes in. As long as you sacrifice the snake coffin, everyone's illness will be cured, business will be smooth, and everything will be fine..."
"Is it worth it to exchange these dying people for the prosperity of our descendants?" Seventh cousin Caidao pressed hard again.
He shouted at me: "Hurry up!"
The position of his kitchen knife was very strange, just between my neck and the black snake jade bracelet. I could even feel the slightly cool black snake crawling under my neck.
I could even feel the cold snake tongue slowly licking the blood that oozed out of me...
Mo Xiu seemed to have stopped moving, and my seventh uncle's eyes were too crazy, so I had no choice but to resign myself to my fate and climb back into the coffin.
As soon as they entered the coffin circle, the screams nearby became louder, and one villager after another turned into a fire man.
Even if everyone covered their mouths, the dead snakes could not get into people's mouths. They would directly poke their tails into people's eyes and get in through the eyes.
In Long Xia's open mouth, the bloody snake was still hissing and spitting out its tongue, as if sending a signal, encouraging the dead snake to drill into the human body.
Soon all the dead snakes had crawled into the villagers' bodies.
When the seventh cousin saw that the snake was gone, he seemed happy and shouted to the villagers who were still alive: "Quick, there are no dead snakes, spray her, spray her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, something slowly bulged up from under Long Xia's white skirt.
The blood snake in her mouth also shrank back, and she walked towards us step by step: "Seventh cousin, you deceived me so badly?"
The seventh uncle's face darkened. He looked at Long Xia and shouted, "I just asked you to come back to see your father. I didn't expect that you would be thrown into the grave by Liu Longting."
"Really? " As Long Xia walked towards her step by step, bright red blood snakes crawled down her slender legs.
These snakes are not susceptible to fire at all. The villagers holding flamethrowers sprayed fire everywhere, but the blood snakes still got into their mouths.
I was so frightened by the scene that my legs went weak, and my seventh cousin held the knife on my neck even tighter.
From what Long Xia and he said, it seemed that it was the seventh cousin who tricked Long Xia back, but how did Liu Longting get her buried under the grave?
Long Xia pressed on: "Seventh cousin, do you think that if Long Ling can't offer sacrifice to the snake coffin, you can use me to offer sacrifice? But Liu Longting won't let me offer sacrifice to the snake coffin?"
"The snake coffin doesn't want me either, it only wants the dragon spirit." Long Xia approached step by step.
The villagers behind him slowly fell down with screams, and the flamethrower slowly ran out of fire.
Amid the smoke and the smell of snakes, I smelled a foul odor.
Seventh cousin was holding a kitchen knife, trembling all over. Something had wet his trouser legs, and water was flowing downwards like a snake.
He yelled at Long Xia, "Your father has cancer. People in this village either have three highs or heart problems. They all have chronic diseases and won't live long."
"It's because eighteen years ago, you and Long Ling didn't offer sacrifices to the snake coffin. Wouldn't it be good if you two died and the whole village lived instead?" Seventh Uncle seemed crazy.
He growled at Longxia, "If you had sacrificed the snake coffin alive first, your father might still be alive, wouldn't that be good?"
"Then why did you lie to me to go traveling and lie to me to sleep with you?" Long Xia laughed strangely.
Two blood snakes crawled out from under her white skirt. She looked up at her seventh cousin and said, "You said you would take me around the world when I got into college. But you tricked me back and wanted to sacrifice me to the snake coffin."
My seventh cousin's legs went weak, and he tightened his grip on the kitchen knife. He pulled me towards Long Xia and said, "You're going to offer sacrifices to the snake coffin anyway, and you're going to be entangled by snakes. What's wrong with me taking a nap?"
I suddenly admire my seventh cousin’s shamelessness!
Although there are many people in Huilong Village who are within the fifth degree of mourning, they are still people you call uncle after all!
Uncle Seven seemed to be in a desperate situation now, and he was fearless: "You are the same as Liu Longting, a coffin-guarding spirit. The snake coffin needs the dragon spirit, so you won't want her to die. Why don't you come over?"
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this. So now I have become my seventh cousin’s hostage again?
At the same time, Long Xia looked up at me with a mocking look on her face: "Long Ling, look, he wants to kill you again. Why does the snake coffin want you and not me?"
"Liu Longting and Mo Xiu both protect you, Long Ling, why you?" Long Xia's voice was filled with disappointment.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the two blood snakes flew out from her legs, one wrapped around Seventh Cousin's neck, and the other went straight into his wide-open mouth.
Even so, my seventh cousin was still trying to cut my neck with a kitchen knife. I quickly raised my foot and kicked him away!
My body suddenly relaxed and I hurriedly covered the wound on my neck, but when I touched it, there was no blood at all.
This time, the entire grave was surrounded by corpses and there was not a single snake, but it made me feel more terrified than the last time when it was full of snakes.
"This is the horror of the snake coffin." Mo Xiu appeared beside me and looked at Long Xia: "You can't hurt Long Ling."
Long Xia looked at the corpses on the ground, twisting her head like a snake: "I am a snake woman, just seeking revenge for those Long family girls."
She slowly stretched her head and leaned closer to the coffin, her pupils shrinking like snake eyes: "Long Ling, the people of Huilong Village are sorry for these Long family girls who were sacrificed in the snake coffin. I want to kill all of them, can you still save them?"
She was talking about everyone in Huilong Village, not everyone in the village!
I felt a chill all over my body instantly and wanted to call her.
Long Xia chuckled, hummed a song, and slowly walked towards the grove.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, I suddenly felt very powerless.
So these people cannot be saved?
Mo Xiu looked at Long Xia's back and said in a deep voice, "The snake coffin will not spit out the dead who were sacrificed in it, but Long Xia is pregnant, and the child is your seventh uncle's, so she became a snake woman."
I suddenly remembered that my mother once said that my cousin's aunt was buried in the coffin after she was found to be entangled by a snake.
But offering sacrifices in the snake coffin is voluntary. Once you enter the snake coffin, you will never come out again. Liu Longting will not do such things.
Who left my cousin's aunt with scars all over her body?
