Chapter 0020: Can't Escape
Faced with the corpses all over the ground and the coffins around them, I suddenly felt a little scared and at a loss.
There seemed to be a sirens sounding in the distance. I turned to look at Mo Xiu and quickly climbed out of the coffin.
But as soon as I landed, I saw Liu Longting standing not far away, looking at me quietly: "The snake poison hasn't been cured yet, how long can you hold on?"
"Long Ling, don't you want to know what the snake coffin used for sacrifices from generation to generation in Huilong Village is?" Liu Longting wanted to come over.
But as soon as he moved, Mo Xiu pulled me behind him: "Liu Longting, you can't beat me here."
Liu Longting just chuckled, looked at me with gloomy eyes and said, "Have you ever thought about why Mo Xiu can't stand it after being outside for a while, but here..."
Liu Longting pointed to the ground beside him: "He can transform into a big snake and still stop me. Long Ling, Mo Xiu is the one..."
I had this question too. Mo Xiu was a snake, but he didn't want to save the snakes whose heads were cut off and used as sacrifices by the villagers.
I don't want to save the people of Long Village either...
But he did help me.
The sirens stopped not far away, probably because there was no road left.
I glanced at Liu Longting, then pulled Mo Xiu and ran towards the place where we escaped that night.
I don’t know why, but Liu Longting didn’t chase me. He seemed to be sure that I had no way to cure the snake poison.
This time I pulled Mo Xiu and ran out without looking back, because everyone was dead...
After I ran out of the mountain, Mo Xiu went straight back into the black snake jade bracelet.
When I was trying to find a way to get to town, I saw a car parked not far away. I walked over and asked the car to take me to town.
Before I could get close, the car drove towards me.
Qin Mipo was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at me with a pale face, as if she was enduring something.
His eyes fell on me, and he just said faintly: "Get in the car."
I heard shouting from the distant mountains, and I hurriedly opened the car door and got in.
Only then did I realize that the driver was Niu Er. He still had that scruffy beard and turned his head to grin at me.
Because Niu Er was driving, I was very nervous the whole time. However, although the car swayed from side to side, it still drove steadily to Qin Mipo's house.
The car stopped, Niu Er pushed open the door and got out with a grin on his face.
Qin Mipo sat in the passenger seat without moving. I pushed the door open and tried to get out, but she suddenly said, "Long Ling, you asked Long Xia to go there, right?"
I paused for a moment, and before my eyes flashed the image of Long Xia's open mouth spitting out a bloody snake, and the villagers with snakes drilling into their mouths and screaming in pain.
My heart suddenly trembled, but I still responded with a light "hmm".
Qin Mipo suddenly turned her head and looked at me: "Your grandmother knew that it was not safe to go back to the village, but she still wanted to go back to the village to remind the villagers that the snake lady had come out of the coffin, so that they could have time to escape."
I knew what Qin Mipo was going to say, and my heart felt a little sour.
She was blaming me for being too cruel. I knew that Long Xia, as a snake lady, came out of the snake coffin to take revenge on the people in Huilong Village, but I still asked her to go over.
But if Long Xia doesn't go, even if I run away today, what about in the future?
How many cousins are there in Huilong Village? My eldest uncle and seventh uncle have died. How many more cousins are waiting in line to try their best to sacrifice me to the snake coffin?
I suddenly remembered what Qin Mipo said. No one offered sacrifices to the snake coffin eighteen years ago. So now, whenever something goes wrong in Huilong Village, people will think it is because no sacrifices were offered to the snake coffin.
This matter will only ferment slowly and the resentment will become more and more serious. Just like my seventh uncle, even the villagers have chronic diseases because they don’t have the snake coffin for burying the daughter of the Long family.
In the eyes of my eldest uncle, I was the only one who deserved to be buried in a snake coffin, but in the eyes of my seventh uncle, even Long Xia was.
They will try their best to bury me in a snake coffin!
And Long Xia was no longer a human being. When she came out of the snake coffin, the first person she looked for was me.
I originally wanted to use her to intimidate the villagers. At least if the villagers caught her, it would help me solve a problem...
"Everyone is dead, right?" Qin Mipo didn't ask any more questions, but just pushed open the car door.
But he turned his head and looked at me: "Have you realized that you are really from Huilong Village."
I didn't understand what she meant at first, but when she closed the car door, the car body shook and I understood it instantly.
To put it bluntly, I am indeed from Huilong Village, and I am selfish!
The people of Huilong Village buried generation after generation of daughters of the Long family for the so-called snake coffin sacrifice.
And in order to avoid being sacrificed in the snake coffin, I can call Long Xia to kill everyone.
Everyone is cold-blooded!
I opened the car door, chased after her, and looked at Grandma Qin Mi with gloomy eyes: "Where's my grandma?"
Such a big thing happened in Huilong Village, there will definitely be a wave of investigation. I am from Huilong Village, and something happened in my family once, so it is impossible not to be investigated.
Qin Mipo has always been unfriendly to us with the surname Long, and she just said something like that, so I'd better not bother her.
Take grandma back to town and wait to be questioned. After the situation stabilizes, find a way to leave the town and escape as far away as possible.
"Come in." Qin Mipo stood at the door and glanced at me.
She went straight into the room where I slept that night. My grandmother was lying on the bed, still unconscious.
Just when I was about to go see her, Qin Mipo stopped me.
"There is a snake on her body." Mo Xiu also suddenly spoke.
Qin Mipo turned the grandmother to one side and reached out to lift her hair. She saw something swaying slowly in the nape of her neck, like a strand of hair...
The light was dim and I couldn't see clearly, so I quickly took out my cell phone to take a picture.
But I saw a snake head as thin as a soybean in the back of his neck, and what he had just spit out was actually the snake's tongue.
Only the pores and tongue of the snake were left outside, and even the eyes could not be seen. When the light shone on it, the tongue shook again, sensing the temperature.
I felt my hair tingle instantly, and looked at Qin Mipo with gloomy eyes: "Didn't we pick them all out at the hospital?"
"It was put in the back." Qin Mipo put my grandma down and looked at me and said, "Snake King can sense snakes. If there are snakes in the hospital that have not been picked out, he will definitely know."
"I guess Long Xia felt that the silk snake was picked out, so she found an opportunity to put it back." Qin Mipo covered the quilt.
He looked at me and said, "When I picked up your grandma, I felt there was a snake on her body, but the snake's body had already gone in. If I took it out..."
Mo Xiu said, "There are fine threads under the scales of silk snakes that can connect to the meridians. If you forcibly pick them out, it will damage the meridians at best, or even kill you directly at worst."
I took out my cell phone and made a video call to Long Xia.
Does she really want to kill everyone in Huilong Village?
The video was connected. Long Xia was still wearing a white dress, sitting by a flower bed. She smiled at me and said, "Long Ling, I'm going to school after dinner. Aren't you coming?"
"Oh, I've already greeted Zhang Hanzhu. She heard that I'm your cousin and wanted to take me to familiarize myself with the environment. She's a really nice person..." Long Xia chuckled to the camera.
" Don't touch Hanzhu." I suddenly felt a little angry.
Long Xia chuckled at me, "Are you thinking of using Mo Xiu or Liu Longting to kill me? If Mo Xiu wanted to kill me, he would have killed me long ago."
"Long Ling, you don't know who Mo Xiu is, right? He is the one who really came out of the snake coffin!" Long Xia chuckled.
Her eyes turned and her face was full of charm: "Don't even think about calling the police or anything like that. If you tell others about Huilong Village, will anyone believe you?"
"What's wrong with my grandma?" I glanced at the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist and tried hard to suppress my anger.
"Snake Coffin wants you. I'm afraid you'll run away, so I have to find some evidence against you, right? And I also want to take revenge on the people in Huilong Village. If you leave, who will watch the fun?" Long Xia snapped her fingers.
Slowly approaching the screen, he said, "Remember to ask Mo Xiu, whether it is the silk snake or the coffin spirit, they cannot leave the range of the snake coffin. Once they leave, they will cease to exist."
"If you take your grandma away, the silk snake in her body will definitely feel it and struggle desperately. If the meridians are severed, your grandma's life will be taken..."
"It depends on your choice. Anyway, you have witnessed so many people die in Huilong Village. It doesn't matter if your grandmother dies too! Using her dying life to exchange for your living life, isn't this what those people in Huilong Village think?" Long Xia chuckled and hung up the video directly.
I held the phone in my hand and reached out to touch the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist.
Mo Xiu came out directly and glanced at my grandmother: "Snake Grandma is right."
I suddenly felt a little powerless and turned to look at Mo Xiu: "You also came out of the snake coffin?"
Mo Xiu nodded with a twinkling look in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "I have died once, Long Ling. The reason why I can still appear now is firstly because of the black jade, and secondly because of the power of the snake coffin."
"Is the snake coffin really that powerful?" I thought about Long Xia, who was just an ordinary high school student. It had only been a short time since she fell into the snake coffin, but when she came out, she was already able to kill everyone.
If I could fall into the snake coffin and come out...
I remembered what my seventh cousin said. They seemed to know something about the snake coffin.
For example, if a dead girl from the Long family is not accepted, she must voluntarily enter the coffin, and she must not spit out the dead sacrifice.
Since Long Xia can get out of the snake coffin, what if I find a way to get out of the snake coffin as well?
