Chapter 0021 Marry Me
I shared my thoughts with Qin Mipo and Mo Xiu.
Qin Mipo was the first to sneer and said, "You are indeed worthy of being from Huilong Village. In this situation, you didn't think about how to escape. Instead, you thought about entering the snake coffin and gaining the same ability as Long Xia."
"Any normal person would just run away if they encounter this kind of situation." There seemed to be sarcasm in Qin Mipo's words.
He said in a cold voice: "You can even ask Long Xia to kill so many people. Now that your grandmother is dying, you can't let it go? If your Long family's ancestor had not thought of making a deal with the snake coffin when he found it, none of this would have happened today."
Qin Mipo obviously has a lot of dissatisfaction with the ancestors of the Long family, and it can even be said that she has resentment towards them.
I had no choice but to turn my eyes to Mo Xiu: "You also came out of the snake coffin, do you know why you came out?"
Mo Xiu just looked at me with a bitter smile, and reached out to touch my face: "Long Ling, you are the same as before, but also different. I don't know whether it is good or bad. But no matter whether you are alive or dead, once you enter the snake coffin, you will never come back."
After Mo Xiu finished speaking, he disappeared.
I was confused. Why was I different from others? What was the difference?
I held the black snake jade bracelet in my hand and looked back at my grandmother lying on the hospital bed, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
He took out his cell phone and called Zhang Hanzhu first, told her about Long Xia, and told her to stay away from Long Xia.
Zhang Hanzhu was with her father Taoist Zhang. When he heard that Long Xia was a snake woman, Taoist Zhang understood it instantly. He told me not to worry and just take care of myself, then hung up the phone.
The father and daughter didn't blame me at all. I felt very guilty, but also felt a little relieved.
Next, he wrote down everything his seventh uncle and eldest uncle said about the snake coffin.
Even if I can't enter the snake coffin, at least I can know more about it.
After recording these things, I tried to call my parents again, but still couldn't get through.
My seventh cousin died suddenly, and I don’t know whether my parents escaped or not.
They left me alone because they knew I had to volunteer to enter the snake coffin, so they felt confident in me.
Or just leave me to fend for myself?
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I suppressed it immediately.
I tilted grandma's head and saw the silk snake still lying in the crook of her neck.
Perhaps sensing the change in the air, the silk snake immediately opened its mouth and spit out its tongue.
I made sure that the black snake jade bracelet was still on my wrist, then I pressed it lightly four fingers away from the silk snake.
Sure enough, as soon as I exerted force, the silk snake immediately shrank back, even the exposed pores and snake tongue were retracted in, but there was no trace of it on grandma's neck, as if the silk snake did not exist at all.
But at the same time, grandma's spine seemed to begin to twist slightly, and even though she was unconscious, she moaned unconsciously.
After making sure that Long Xia was not lying, I quickly laid grandma down.
Mo Xiu seemed to be a little taboo about the snake coffin and would not easily mention anything related to it.
Outside the door, Qin Mipo was still coughing as if she was about to die.
I saw her cooking again, so I went over to help her and let her go to rest.
Niu Er was playing outside, and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Before I finished cooking a single dish, I received a phone call. It was the police officer who took my statement that night. He asked me where I was and if I knew where my parents were.
I looked at Qin Mi Po standing aside. After she nodded at me, I told them Qin Mi Po's address.
"Don't worry, something strange happened in your family. Your grandmother asked you to come to me and ask if you can be admitted to university. This kind of thing is very normal." Qin Mipo looked at me calmly.
The police arrived very quickly. I had just put the dishes on the table when they came, but they just asked a few questions as usual.
I really don’t know where my parents went. After all, I had a high fever and was unconscious, and the hospital had records of it.
As for what happened in the village, they didn't mention it. I just said that I was feeling very unwell. My grandmother, who had gone back home, came back to take care of me, and then followed Qin Mipo to ask about my health.
But I still mentioned it a few times. My cousin Long Xia also transferred back to the town high school. Her father is the village chief and may know more than me.
The police took the statement and just told me not to leave the town and that they would go find Long Xia to ask about it.
He told me to be careful and then left.
After all, those who died didn't look like normal deaths at all.
After the police left, Qin Mipo ate her meal and looked at me: "You don't seem to be afraid of snakes, nor are you nervous?"
"My father sells snake wine. There are snakes soaked all over the house. I watch them come in and out every day. Once you get used to it, you're not afraid anymore." I picked up the bowl and suddenly felt a little self-deprecating.
I guess my dad didn't expect that this would give me courage.
Niu Er never sat at the table for meals. Even if he was asked to sit down, he couldn't do it. A large bowl of rice was filled with half a bowl of vegetables, and he would squat outside the eaves to eat.
While eating, he turned his head to look at me and laughed: "Long Ling, Huilong Village is gone, I will protect you. Protect you..."
Qin Mipo's eyes seemed to flash, she ate half a bowl of rice and stopped eating, then went into the house .
I actually couldn't eat it either. Now looking at Niu Er, I no longer felt the disgust and fear I had before.
I walked over and squatted beside him: "Do you know the snake coffin?"
"I know! I know! " Niu Er said to me vaguely while eating his rice: "In the village hall, there is a snake coffin, hehe... The snake coffin is sacrificed once every 18 years to ensure that the descendants will continue from generation to generation."
"Hehe! The daughter of the Long family gave birth to a snake baby, but the baby was named Long." Niu Er seemed very happy for a bowl of rice and muttered these flattering words.
He patted his chest and said to me, "I know where the village chief hid the things. I'll take you there! I know!"
"What did the village chief hide?" I was a little stunned for a moment when I suddenly heard him mention my uncle.
Niu Er had always been treated as a fool, so when he saw his cousin hiding something, he probably didn't take it seriously.
"He hid a woman. Hehe, the village chief hid a woman." Niu Er laughed, but raised his index finger at me: "Shh! I'm only telling you, don't tell anyone."
I was stunned for a moment, but Niu Er’s words were so crazy that I couldn’t tell whether they were true or not.
However, the court hall is so big that it is possible that something is hidden there. It would be great if we could find records about the snake coffin or something.
So he coaxed Niu Er and said, "Then take me back to the village to find something tomorrow."
Niu Er was eating his rice, nodding his head continuously and looking at me with a chuckle.
Grandma Qin Mi was sifting rice, so I went over to help pick up the grains.
Even now, she still only eats rice that she grows herself, which is threshed in a rice mill, either with bran or whole grains.
It feels really comfortable to put your hands in the slightly cool rice.
Maybe it's because there has been very little quiet time recently. After helping Grandma Qin Mi sift a basket of rice, I felt very dizzy.
"You haven't recovered from your cold yet, so go to my bed and sleep for a while." Qin Mipo put the rice into the rice bucket.
He said to me, "Niu Er and I will watch over it. Niu Er is the village guardian, and those evil spirits can't hurt him."
I was indeed feeling dizzy and sleepy, so I looked at Niu Er playing with bamboo strips outside the door, smiled at Qin Mipo, and went to her room to sleep.
The quilt on her bed had been changed and it smelled of mugwort, which was very comfortable.
I've been nervous all day, and now that I'm relaxed, my eyelids can hardly hold up.
I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't hold on.
Lying on Qin Mipo's bed, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he pulled the quilt over him.
As soon as I fell asleep, I saw Mo Xiu again.
This time in his dream he was no longer in the form of a black snake, but directly in human form.
"Mo Xiu?" I looked at him puzzledly and said in a deep voice, "Why are you in my dream again? Is it because that snake Liu Longting is going to attack me again?"
Mo Xiu shook his head and took my hand and sat down.
In the dream, everything seemed to be in my room, and he pulled me to sit on my bed.
This was the first time I saw a helpless look on Mo Xiu's face, which made me a little curious.
Mo Xiu can instantly kill all the snakes around him without any injury; when facing Liu Longting, he can transform into a black snake and fight with Liu Longting fiercely.
Even when facing the snake queen Long Xia, he could still drive her away with just one sentence.
Are you at a loss now?
Mo Xiu held my hand tightly, then turned to look at me: "You don't want to sacrifice to the snake coffin, nor do you want to be harmed by Long Xia. You also want to save your grandmother and get rid of the snake poison in your body, right?"
I nodded, and now I was a little confused.
"Long Ling, I have a way to solve all the problems." Mo Xiu looked at me and said with deep eyes: "Marry me!"
Mo Xiu's face was tense, with hope in his dark eyes. He seemed to not know where to put his hands and feet, so he could only hold my hand tightly.
I suddenly remembered the tone he used when he first came out and said he was Mo Xiu.
Gloomy and melancholy, saying I don't remember him.
And the gentle kiss he gave the black snake after dripping blood on it.
Mo Xiu has been guarding me in my dreams, as if he has been waiting for something...
Just waiting for me to agree to marry him?
