Chapter 0040 How to Continue
Mo Xiu held the stone cup in his hand, seemed stunned for a moment, but did not nod, just left quickly.
After he left, I slowly loosened my grip.
The blood soaked the entire palm, it was slippery and greasy, and the hand was full of blood.
I stood up and rinsed under the faucet, the clean water sliding over my palms.
A deep scratch just divided the tooth mark that Mo Xiu had bitten that night into two halves.
It was as if something had just cut through it.
Grandma Qin Mi handed me a piece of gauze. It was not the kind of medical gauze, but the coarse gauze she used to make tofu. "Wrap it up."
"Thank you!" I took it and wrapped it in my palm, then sat aside and watched Niu Er help press the water out of the tofu.
"Snake Lord wants to use your blood to save people?" Qin Mipo watched me wrap the gauze, took the gauze and helped me tie a knot: "People from Huilong Village?"
I looked up at her: "Will he take the initiative to rescue the people in Long Village?"
Qin Mipo was stunned for a moment, and just said in a deep voice: "Since the Snake King wants to save you, there must be a reason. He will protect you after all. At least you didn't go to offer sacrifices to the snake coffin, right?"
The coarse gauze actually hurt a little when it touched the wound. Qin Mipo was very strong and tied it tightly, but at least the bleeding stopped.
“In fact, to Mo Xiu, Liu Longting, and even the snake coffin, I am nothing more than…” I looked at the spot of blood that stained the gauze, like a red fruit.
He smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, they never wanted me as a person, right?"
Qin Mipo seemed stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
"I'm like a precious medicinal herb, the kind that bears fruit once every 18 years. They only want the fruit, not the whole plant." I hooked my palm, and the blood that seeped out dyed the entire gauze red.
My eyes were red as well: "Mo Xiu has been guarding me for eighteen years, cultivating feelings with me, letting me absorb his aura. He must be like those snakes that are guarding and waiting for the result."
"The snake coffin thinks I am its own, so it is waiting for me, forcing me to go by myself." I clenched my palms and looked at Qin Mipo: "Liu Longting sprayed the snake poison, and he is also waiting for me to go by myself."
"In fact, to put it bluntly, they are all snakes, one guarding and two fighting, all for the sake of following me..." I breathed a sigh of relief, looking at a drop of bright red blood dripping from under my clenched fist.
"Yuanhong." Qin Mipo stretched out her finger and flicked off the blood.
So as soon as my virginity was broken, the snake coffin wanted to kill me, saying something like "I'll have to wait for my reincarnation."
It is said that when I was born, Mo Xiu asked Qin Mipo's aunt to give me a black snake pendant, actually it was to make it easier for him to follow me.
The most solid one among them was actually Liu Longting. He sprayed the snake poison and waited for me to...
The white snake flashed before my eyes, and countless small snakes broke out of its body, biting it , and then were instantly pulled down and fell into the sea of fire.
"Yuanhong..." I looked at the gauze on my palm that was completely stained red and smiled bitterly, "This thing is actually useful."
Qin Mipo sighed and didn't want to discuss this matter anymore: "What are you going to do in the future? Follow the Snake King, or?"
These one and two, now I think of them, I will come later.
I was indeed a little confused. Huilong Village was gone, and the house in the town no longer belonged to me...
What's more, until now, I still don't know whether those two people in Huilong Village last night were my parents, and whether they are dead or alive?
I don't know if I can leave town...
Looking back, I have never left the town until I was eighteen years old. It was all thanks to my parents who used various methods to let me stay safely in the town for eighteen years.
Qin Mipo just patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's eat the tofu feast later. It's a bit of respect."
"Tofu pudding, tofu pudding!" Niu Er came over with two bowls of tofu pudding and handed me one bowl. "It's tender, eat it."
The homemade tofu pudding is actually not as white and tender as the ones sold outside, and it is even a bit black.
I took the bowl and watched Niu Er drink from the bowl. With sour taste in my mouth, I also took a sip.
It's already slightly warm, not ugly, but the texture and taste are very fresh and refreshing, without sugar or salt, and it's quite delicious.
"Niu Er..." I held the bowl and watched Niu Er drink half of it in one breath: "What do you think will happen if a snake woman gives birth to a snake baby?"
He has been singing that nursery rhyme from time to time since the day I entered the village. I can understand every word in it, even if they are sung together.
But now that I think about it, it seems that there is a deeper meaning behind it.
"When a snake baby is born, Huilong Village will be established!" Niu Er finished drinking the tofu pudding and looked at me and said, "Long Ling, don't be sad. When the snake mother gives birth to a snake baby, Huilong Village will be established again."
"Are all the people in Huilong Village born by snake women?" I poured the tofu pudding in my bowl to him.
This period of time has been a mess, with so many things going on, so urgent and confusing, that I haven't had time to have a good talk with Niu Er.
"Yes." Niu Er laughed and looked back.
Qin Mipo was frying tofu at the moment, and a faint fragrance wafted out.
"I'll tell you..." Niu Er's face was full of smiles, as if he had some great secret: "I heard the village chief and his wife quarreling, they can't have children."
"The people in Huilong Village cannot have children, so the village chief..." Niu Er laughed.
The face that had been hidden for a long time under the beard and messy hair, and had just been exposed for a few days, flashed a blush: "The village chief asked someone to take me to the attic and let me have a baby with her ."
My fingers ached as I held the bowl.
But it didn't feel like a big deal, perhaps because this news was n't as shocking as what happened last night.
What's more, I can even feel a little bit of peace when I smell the aroma of fried tofu.
"Giving birth to a baby is not fun at all." Niu Er said this, and even tofu pudding seemed to be unpalatable: "The village chief said that I am different from them, and asked someone to force me to give birth to a baby with her. When the soy milk is produced..."
I held the bowl too hard and bright red blood dripped down the bowl.
Niu Er was angry when he thought of that incident. He snorted and walked away with the bowl in his hand: "That woman is so nice. The village chief and his family obviously like her very much. But every time..."
I listened in silence, loosened the bowl, and then untied the gauze that was completely soaked.
Niu Er didn't seem to want to say anything more and drank tofu pudding angrily.
In the distance, there was a cowherd leading his cows, and the cows mooed.
When someone dies, we eat tofu feast, which is a kind of respect.
Qin Mipo put two pieces of tofu in a bowl, one on each side, put incense on it and placed it at the door of the house. She muttered something and then told us to eat.
I wasn't hungry, but for some reason, I suddenly felt that eating would be good, at least it would be something to do.
He Gu came back very quickly. When he put the urn in my hand, he just said in a deep voice: "I can help you give all the money to Chen Quan's family, and even send Chen Quan and his son back, so that Chenjia Village will not bother you anymore. After all, Chen Quan's family is gone, and the people in their village are helping out, and all they want is money."
"But you have to do me a favor." His eyes fell on Niu Er, and he said to me, "He is a village guardian. Although his three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, he is sincere by nature and is suitable for cultivation. You..."
He Gu said earnestly, "Long Ling, Lao Zhou is the last descendant of the Heavenly Eye Divination, and he will not make mistakes. Although the Snake Coffin will not look for you for the time being, Niu Er will follow you, and something bad will happen sooner or later. And you don't want him to live a crazy life like this, right?"
Niu Er was helping to wash dishes outside the door. He turned his head to look at me and laughed.
I looked at him and suddenly felt sad.
All the people around me, including Mo Xiu and the other snakes, just want my little bit of essence.
Qin Mipo did this for Mo Xiu, and He Gu actually did this to get rid of this scourge like me.
Only Niu Er...
He never had any purpose, it was just that simple.
"I don't care as long as you can persuade him to leave." I blinked and went back to the room carrying the urn.
Outside the house, He Gu seemed to be talking to Niu Er again. Niu Er just replied foolishly. He Gu's voice was clear but could not be heard clearly.
I placed the urn on the bed and put away grandma's clothes.
The sky slowly darkened, and this time my body did not feel hot or itchy anymore. Perhaps the snake coffin knew that I was no longer useful to it, and Liu Longting was...
I suddenly felt a little ridiculous. The person who finally wanted to send me out of the village was actually Liu Longting.
A dark shadow flashed by, and Mo Xiu stood aside: "I will take you to the cave."
I turned my head to look at him and covered the urn with my clothes: "No need to go, right? Mo Xiu, you also saw that the snake coffin didn't seem to call me again."
"But the marriage alliance of the snake tribe takes seven days." Mo Xiu's voice was heavy, and he whispered: "Long Ling, the snake coffin is angry, and someone has to extinguish its anger. The people of Huilong Village have done many things that you don't know."
“Even if Huilong Village doesn’t fall directly, it won’t be able to continue. The snake coffin will still swallow up the entire village.” Mo Xiu’s voice was filled with deep hatred.
I turned my head and looked at him: "Is the woman in the attic in the cave? If I go there, can I see her?"
