Chapter 0078 White Rice Sprouts
The snake head behind Mr. Hu had a very long tongue, as sharp as a needle. It shot directly towards me, as if it was going to pierce my lower abdomen.
I was so scared that I instinctively reached out my left hand to touch my lower abdomen. The tip of the snake's tongue pierced the back of my left hand. The pain made me wince. I grabbed a chicken nearby and smashed it on Mr. Hu's head.
As soon as I stretched out my hand, it felt cold, as if something had entangled it. I didn't have time to think about it and just smashed Mr. Hu's head. In the chaos, my hand seemed to be bitten by something a few times, as if there was a snake, and I threw it away under my strong force.
But Mr. Hu was like a crawling snake, twisting his limbs rapidly on the ground, and something slightly hot hit my hands, but he still crawled towards me.
The moisture around them became thicker and thicker, and the other people in the quiet room seemed to have disappeared.
"Kill Long Ling, kill Long Ling." Mr. Hu shouted sharply again.
This time, the snake at the back of the head slowly crawled out. Mr. Hu's spine seemed to be pulled, and his body was like a pulled ribbon flower, and all the tendons in his body seemed to shrink.
I held the chicken and watched the snake half-bend its upper body and pounce towards me. I reached out and grabbed the snake by the vital point, twisted the chicken and smashed the snake's head hard.
Lately, I have completely lost my fear of snakes.
He hit it again and again, and besides the faint sound of "bang bang", there seemed to be some cracking sounds.
Just as I was about to smash the snake's head into pieces, a hand grabbed me and pulled me back.
"It's okay! Long Ling, it's okay!" Yu Xinhe pulled me back and said in a deep voice, "It's okay."
I exhaled gently, and the moisture in the quiet room seemed to have dissipated, leaving many dead snakes crawling on the originally clean straw mat.
He Ji and He Gu both looked a little embarrassed. They stood beside the incense table and looked at me. Dead snakes were piled up at their feet.
Mr. Hu fell to the ground, his limbs seemed to be shrunken beyond recognition, and the snake on the back of his head was smashed by me and became limp as if it had no bones, stretching forward limply.
Yu Xinhe took the chicken from my hand, looked at my left hand, and seemed to take a deep breath: "Let's take care of the wound first."
Following her gaze, I discovered that there was a piece of snake tongue wrapped around my left hand, and the two forked tips of the tongue had already poked into my palm.
Maybe the snake's tongue was broken when the chicken was smashing around just now, and it is still tightly entangled with the wire in my hand.
The situation just now was so strange that I was in a hurry and didn’t feel any pain. Now I just feel a burning pain.
But seeing that Qin Mi Po was still holding the rice bowl, I thought since I had asked anyway, I might as well see the result.
He dropped the chick in his right hand and reached out to remove the snake's tongue wrapped around his left hand, but he couldn't pry it open.
"Let me do it." Yu Xinhe turned around, took a sip of snake wine, looked at me, and suddenly sprayed the snake wine on my hand.
The wound was stained with wine and it hurt so much that I was wincing. At this moment, Yu Xinhe used both hands to pry and pull off the snake's tongue that looked like a lizard's tongue and threw it on the ground.
There were two circles of tangled marks on the back of my hand, which looked as if they had been burned by red-hot iron wire.
I pulled up the hem of my clothes to wrap my hands, then smiled and thanked Yu Xinhe.
He stepped on the dead snake and walked to Qin Mipo's side: "Any results?"
The dead snake next to Qin Mipo's incense table was the largest, at least as thick as my arm, but they were all beaten to death by He Ji and He Gu.
But where did so many snakes suddenly appear in this place?
Qin Mipo held Mi Sheng in her arms, looked at me with heavy eyes, and put Mi Sheng on the ground.
As soon as she put it down, the rice in the rice measure seemed to swell, and grains of rice rolled out of the measure and fell to the ground.
Then a white and tender germ grew out from the top of the rice grain, and it was growing slowly, as if it had sprouted.
As the rice in the rice bucket began to sprout, more and more rice grains were constantly being pushed out.
Rice is husked and the tip germ is removed, so it is impossible for it to germinate.
But now the liter of rice in Qin Mipo's hand has sprouted...
This is just like Wei Changshun, a dead man, giving birth to a ghost fetus.
Weird, but it really happened.
Everyone in the quiet room stood beside Qin Mi Po, watching the sprouting rice grains fall on the straw mat, their germs twitching slightly.
Grandma Qin Mi simply poured out the entire liter of rice slowly. It was full of sprouted rice, but the newly laid egg that was buried there was only the broken eggshell left, and no egg liquid was seen.
It seems that what we put in was just the eggshell.
"What does this mean?" I reached out and picked up a sprouted rice.
Perhaps due to insufficient conditions, the germ that grew in the rice only grew to half the length of a grain of rice and then stopped growing, and obviously began to wither.
Qin Mipo's eyes also darkened. She turned her head and looked at He Ji, then said to me, "This is not accurate. I used water to form mist to cover up the Qi and prevent people outside from detecting it."
"But as soon as the mist cleared, so many snakes came over." Qin Mipo looked at the piles of dead snakes with worry in her eyes: "But at least it's not a bad thing. You should go and rest first."
I turned my head and glanced at He Gu, wanting to hear a word of truth from him, at least half a word.
He smiled at me and said, "I'll take you to treat your wound."
Just as I turned around, I glanced at Mr. Hu with a lingering fear.
There was fog and snakes everywhere just now, so Mr. Hu took advantage of the chaos to kill me.
Or is it that the snake in Mr. Hu's body wants to kill me?
But the snake coffin knows that I am pregnant with a snake fetus, so it won’t let me die now?
Why does Mr. Hu still want to kill me and prevent me from giving birth to a snake fetus?
As I turned my head, I saw the snake's smashed head slowly arching, and the snake's body was actually shrinking inward.
I hurriedly grabbed the chicken and was still smashing it, but He Gu stopped me and shook his head at me: "This snake came out of the snake coffin, it is immortal. Even if you cut off the protruding half of it and burn it, it will grow back tomorrow."
I thought of the snake in Chen Quan's body. It was clearly cut off by Mo Xiu, but it still grew out again.
It seems that there is really no way to deal with these snakes except to cremate them all.
Yu Xinhe let out a soft cry, pulled me, and walked out with difficulty on his injured legs.
When leaving the house, the young man in charge of logistics took a large basket and went in to pick up the dead snakes.
He Gu took me to the second floor, fetched a basin of water, and took out the razor that Qin Mipo gave me: "That snake is very poisonous. Scrape off the rotten flesh first before applying the medicine."
I looked at the razor and handed my left hand to He Gu.
This hand is really pitiful, it is injured again and again.
He Gu pinched his fingertips and used a razor to scrape off the burnt areas bit by bit.
Yu Xinhe was watching from the side: "Mr. Hu is still alive even though he was like that?"
"No, he will recover tomorrow morning. We have tried to cut the snake and save Mr. Hu before, but it was completely useless." He Gu's eyes were heavy. He scraped the rotten flesh with a razor, disinfected it with alcohol, crushed a pill into powder, and applied it carefully on the wound.
After the collection, he looked at me solemnly and said, "Don't think too much, take good care of the baby."
Then he handed me the razor and said, "Take it for self-defense."
I took the razor, rinsed it in the water, put it in my pocket, looked at He Gu and said, "Did Mr. Hu say anything when he was awake?"
"The people of Huilong Village are not human." He Gu looked at me and smiled bitterly, "He said that the people of Huilong Village should not exist and cannot exist. As long as the snake coffin is not destroyed, the bloodline of the Long family will continue and complement each other."
After he said that, he took his things and left, leaving Yu Xinhe and I in the room.
"Want a sip?" Yu Xinhe handed me the snake wine and smacked his lips as he said, "Sometimes being drunk is better than being sober."
I looked at her hands and touched the razor in my pocket: "Can you kill a snake with both hands?"
"No need to pat. Most snakes won't dare to move when they touch me. They will die if I pinch them." In order to show how strong he was, Yu Xinhe stretched out his hand and pinched a corner of the table, and with a snap, the corner of the wooden table broke into pieces.
I looked at him with a solemn look: "Did you learn it?"
"Innate." Yu Xinhe laughed, staring at me and said, "Xuanmen cultivation relies on talent. Although acquired efforts are important, without talent, you don't know which direction to work hard in."
"You want to learn something to defend yourself, right?" Yu Xinhe sat next to me with a limp, looking like a good sister: "You actually have talent, you are Long Ling. Look, Mo Xiu Snake King is protecting you, you have a snake fetus, and you are a daughter of the Long family. Just your identity and bloodline are talents that others can't envy. Although..."
Her eyes fell on my left hand and she smacked her lips: "That's tragic."
It was dark outside and I was lying on the bed, not even wanting to talk to Yu Xinhe.
She knows how miserable I am, so how could Mo Xiu not know it?
But does the snake coffin want the snake fetus, or does it want to kill the snake fetus?
Seeing that I was about to sleep, Yu Xinhe measured the bed, picked up the snake wine bottle, and limped away.
When she left, the snake in the snake wine bottle seemed to shake a little, but probably because it was in Yu Xinhe's arms, it shrank back again.
I slept all day, and now I can't fall asleep even though I'm squinting my eyes.
The pain in my left hand became more and more severe, and more and more things were on my mind.
As I was thinking about it, I felt something moving under my feet.
Then something cold and slippery seemed to be wrapped around my ankle.
I thought it was a snake, so I stood up, grabbed the razor, and slashed at it with my foot.
But when she lifted her foot, she saw a strand of long, wet black hair wrapped around her ankle.
The hair was very resilient, and the razor didn't cut it, but it slowly shrank back on its own.
I looked out along the strand of hair in surprise, and saw outside the second-floor window, a pale face hidden in the long black hair , giving me a stiff and strange smile.
