Chapter 0067 Sheyugu Family
In the mirror, where my collarbone was bitten, there were pieces of fine snake scales rising from under the skin.
It seemed to have just grown out, with rough scales piercing the skin and the cut skin was red.
The scales are very thin and grow along the clavicle just above the clavicle.
The scales are black with white and gathered together. The entire clavicle looks like a colorful black and white snake, or like a tattoo.
The tattoo was a coffin. To be more precise, it was a black and white snake entangled around a coffin. However, the coffin lid was half open, and countless thin snake heads poked out from it.
The entire area covered with scales is only three fingers wide of the collarbone, but whether it is the snakes wrapped around the coffin, the half-open coffin, or the snakes poking their heads out, they are all lifelike and clear at a glance.
I reached out to touch it, and as soon as my hand touched the scales, it felt a piercing pain.
When the collarbone moved, the black snake wrapped around the coffin seemed to move.
The mirror in Qin Mi's mother-in-law's house is a bit old, and it's mottled and white, so I can't see it clearly.
I reached out to touch my phone, but couldn't find it, and was about to turn around to look for it.
Yu Xinhe handed me her phone and leaned against the door, watching: "Is this scale pattern a snake coffin?"
I took a selfie with my phone and enlarged it.
The snake wrapped around the coffin was exactly the same as the black and white snake on my wrist.
"Snake coffin, there is a snake and a coffin..." Yu Xinhe leaned over to the phone to take a look and chuckled, "Is this coffin-wrapped snake Liu Longting? And what is Mo Xiu?"
"Moreover, the head and tail of the snake are missing. What is buried in the coffin? Are these snakes trying to crawl out?" Yu Xinhe was full of questions at this time.
The image of Long Xia falling into a grave and countless snakes swarming around her body flashed through my mind, and I began to feel dizzy.
Qin Mipo was still coughing in the room. I handed the phone back to Yu Xinhe: "Where's my phone?"
"You fell into the water. I was kind enough to bury you in the rice and wait for it to dry." Yu Xinhe winked at me.
He turned around and went back to drinking snake wine, seemingly not curious at all about what the snake coffin was.
I found my cell phone in the rice bucket, and sure enough, it wouldn't turn on.
The water in the kitchen boiled, I poured the water into the thermos, bandaged the wound on the side of my hand, and changed my clothes.
The collar of the shirt I was wearing was relatively low, so if I moved a little, I could see the scales below my collarbone. This was probably why Liu Longting could tell that I had seen a snake coffin.
Just when I changed my clothes and was about to go out to talk to Yu Xinhe.
Then I heard some gurgling sounds on the eaves, followed by Yu Xinhe's deep voice: "It's too late for you to come to her now."
I found it strange and was about to go out, but Qin Mipo appeared at my door and shook her head at me.
Then something moved quickly on the eaves, making a rustling sound.
It was probably the big snake that Mo Xiu left behind to protect me.
I seemed to hear a woman's low voice outside the house. It sounded vaguely familiar to me and I was about to go out.
Then I heard a "whoosh" sound, and an iron arrow shot directly through the window of Qin Mi's house and passed by my face.
The swish sound under the eaves became louder, and it seemed something was falling down, accompanied by the growl of a snake.
Granny Qin Mi hurriedly pulled me back a step, and waved at me against the wall: "It's the wave-piercing arrow from the Bashan Sheyugu family. One arrow will pierce the waves and hit the fish at the bottom of the water. Don't move yet."
After that arrow was fired, Yu Xinhe seemed to shout in a deep voice: "Shooting arrows directly, is that what you Gu family said about asking for favors?"
But then there seemed to be a sound of breaking through the air, again and again.
At the same time, a deep and clear voice came: "Long Ling, I am your aunt, Long Xia's mother. I know you are in there, come out, your aunt has something to tell you."
When I heard it was Long Xia’s mother, I instantly felt something was wrong.
It was this aunt who was behind Long Xia's pregnancy with the snake baby.
On the night when Huilong Village fell, this aunt was not there.
Later I asked Mo Xiu if there was any difference between Long Xia’s mother and my mother.
After all, the daughters-in-law of Huilong Village are all infertile, and can only be boys. In every generation, a girl from the Long family will be sacrificed.
But this generation has Long Xia and me. Long Xia’s mother even escaped the disaster of Huilong Village being destroyed. It is obviously weird.
"Long Ling, don't you want to know why your parents are in such a hurry to escape?" The aunt in the hall was still speaking loudly outside.
I calculated the time and realized that if she wanted to see me, she would have come long ago.
Now that I had just aborted the snake baby in Long Xia's belly, she came looking for me, and it was obvious that she would use force first and then courtesy, and it seemed that she came with great force.
The iron arrow broke through the window and still penetrated half of the wall, which shows how powerful the archer is.
I decided not to go out. After all, Qin Mi’s mother-in-law’s house seemed relatively safe.
With that big snake around, Yu Xinhe should be fine.
Just as he came to this thought, he heard Yu Xinhe groan, and then something on the eaves rustled and fell down, and the sound of a snake hissing was heard.
"The Yu family relies on these hands to tame snakes, right?" The voice of the aunt outside was cold, and she shouted in a deep voice: "Long Ling, if you don't come out, I will cripple her hands."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xinhe's muffled groan was heard.
Qin Mipo seemed to sigh softly. I smiled at her, turned around the room and walked out.
In front of Qin Mi's mother-in-law's house, there was the aunt who she had met during the Chinese New Year. She was wearing a tight mountaineering suit, carrying a quiver on her back and holding a bow in her hand.
The bowstring rolled back and was already around Yu Xinhe's neck, and it was spinning.
On one side were a few young men wearing mountaineering clothes like her, one of them holding an iron arrow, half hanging in Yu Xinhe's hand.
There were already two iron arrows stuck in her legs , and one of them had even pierced directly through her thigh. The two muffled groans probably came from that time.
On the side of the house, the big snake had several iron arrows piercing its body, and it was unknown whether it was alive or dead.
They started fighting directly, which shows that these people were really ruthless.
Seeing me come out, the aunt winked at the side, and a young woman immediately stepped forward, still pulling the bow.
Yu Xinhe's head was pulled, but he shouted at me: "Ignore her, the Sheyugu family came here just to protect the snake coffin! They..."
The aunt in the hall just sneered, raised her foot and stepped on the iron arrow that pierced Yu Xinhe.
The iron arrow pierced through his leg, and Yu Xinhe raised his head and screamed in pain.
But when he raised his head like this, the bowstring became tighter, Yu Xinhe's face turned red and he could no longer speak.
"Let her go." I slightly opened my collar, revealing the snake-coffin pattern formed by the scales under my collarbone: "Long Xia's snake baby has fallen. Since you came to me, you must have something to ask of me. You are my aunt after all, don't make things awkward. I have seen the snake coffin!"
The aunt in the lobby stared at the scales on my collarbone and waved her hand.
The young woman who was drawing the bow loosened the bowstring a little, but did not let go.
"Long Ling, I always felt that you were very sensible." The aunt in the hall seemed quite satisfied with my polite words.
He smiled at me and said, "Let's get to know each other again. I'm Gu Fengchun from the Sheyu Gu family. In every generation of Huilong Village, the village chief would marry into the Gu family, give birth to a girl from the Long family, and offer a sacrifice in the snake coffin. This generation's daughter is me, and the one born is Long Xia. It's a pity that you were born, otherwise things wouldn't have been so troublesome."
Her introduction was very official, which means that she came on behalf of the Sheyugu family, not my aunt, let alone Longxia's mother.
After all, a mother who sends her daughter away and lets her be imprisoned is not really a responsible mother.
No wonder she and Long Xia stayed in the county town for so many years and never came back except during the Chinese New Year.
"Let Yu Xinhe go first if you have anything to say." I stared at her and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you are my aunt or Gu Fengchun."
Gu Fengchun smiled very heartily: "Originally, our plan was to catch Qin Mipo, but it just so happens that the person who controls the Yu family is here, so we can just catch him."
She looked at me solemnly: "The snake baby in Long Xia's belly has been lost, but the bloodline of the Long family in Huilong Village cannot be cut off. Long Ling, what your cousin said is not entirely wrong."
"The snake coffin is the Long family's dragon-ascending coffin. Why are you so willful and cut off the Long family's bloodline?" Gu Fengchun clapped his hands.
The young woman holding the bowstring immediately tightened it. The bowstring made a creaking sound and Yu Xinhe's neck seemed to be broken.
"Conditions." I immediately understood that for Gu Fengchun, he did not kill Yu Xinhe directly because she was considered a hostage.
Gu Fengchun chuckled: "The blood snake in your clavicle has come out, and you can't leave. It's just that the snake coffin won't let you leave."
"We do have a way to take you away. I promise not to kill you, and I will let you live a good life outside. But once the snake fetus in your belly is born, it will be raised by the Sheyu Gu family." When Gu Fengchun said this, his bright eyes fell on my lower abdomen.
