Chapter 090
I didn't ask him the reason immediately, but thought about it myself. Ding Ding had said before that he was almost one with the green snake of the Snake Bone Lady. Although the green snake had been swallowed by the human-faced tree for him, a part of it still grew on his body, so he became a snake spirit. Although we don't know what he will become in the end, I guess this is the reason. When the beautiful snake bit him, it not only had no effect on him, but instead poisoned itself to death.
I felt somewhat relieved, but then I thought about it and felt that there was no such coincidence. Could it be that my mother had already anticipated that all this would happen, so she found the soul of a green snake for Ding Ding, so that when we met this thing, we would not be killed by it?
Ding Ding is still lying on the ground, covering his face and howling. Little Ghost and I didn't expect that the damage he suffered in this incident was not caused by the beautiful snake, but by Little Ghost, who made him howl like a ghost.
The little ghost stepped on the body of the beauty snake, still not recovered from the situation just now, and said to himself, "It is said that if a beauty snake calls a person's name, as long as you agree to it, it will pester you and will not be happy until it eats you. But as long as you don't agree, nothing will happen."
I laughed and said that this was a monster with principles. Although it was scary, it could be avoided as long as paid more attention.
As I said that, I walked towards Ding Ding, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's just a superficial wound and it will heal soon."
Ding Ding grabbed me and said, "Tan Xi, look, I must be disfigured."
I looked at it myself, and there weren't many real cuts on his face. Most of them were bruises from being hit by rocks. Now it was a little swollen, as if he had suddenly gained weight. I couldn't help laughing when I saw him like this, and said it was nothing, it just looked a little miserable.
Ding Ding was still unhappy and covered his face again, saying, "It's nothing, why are you laughing? You must be disfigured. When I get back, I will buy sulfuric acid to disfigure you two too!"
I didn't know if he was joking or serious. Ding Ding's words and actions were really beyond the normal human thinking, so I hurried to comfort him, fearing that he would really be upset. Even if I die, I have to die handsomely!
We made noise like this for a while, and the little kid looked up at the sky. It was probably past noon, but in the bamboo forest, the sunlight was blocked by the dense bamboo leaves, so it looked dim, as if it was evening.
I dragged Ding Ding up from the ground and said, "Okay, we have to hurry on our way. If you stay here, I don't care what happens. You guys will have to deal with it anyway."
Ding Ding finally got up, still pouting and looking unhappy. Seeing him like that, the little ghost didn't try to comfort him, but just laughed foolishly beside him. I tidied up my clothes and got rid of the dust that had been on my body when I was dragged away. I lowered my head to clean for a while, and suddenly I heard a melodious flute sound, and I didn't know where it came from.
The three of us were stunned, wondering if there were other people nearby?
But the flute sound lasted only more than ten seconds, and suddenly there was a rustling sound, coming from far away and from all directions.
I looked into the distance and saw countless bamboo leaves falling down from the bamboo forest with a rustling sound. Ding Ding was stunned and exclaimed, "Huh?" What was this? Was it flowers falling from the sky?
The kid and I both shook our heads and said we didn’t know.
We all watched the bamboo leaves falling from above. At first they were very far away, then gradually got closer and closer, and soon they were above our heads.
It felt like a rain of bamboo leaves. I looked up and quickly covered my face with my hands, fearing that there was still some dust or something in the bamboo leaves.
But as the rustling sound came to us, I could see clearly what was above my head. I couldn't help but gasp. Even Ding Ding and Xiao Gui were stunned by the scene before them!
I saw groups of beautiful snakes, too numerous to count, crawling over the bamboo branches above our heads. They raised their heads and rubbed their long tails against the bamboo branches quickly, breaking off the leaves on them, and all went in one direction.
I almost couldn't help shouting when I saw this scene, but luckily the little ghost covered my mouth and told me not to make any sound.
I nodded quickly. The groups of beautiful snakes above seemed to have not noticed our presence. If they attacked us in groups, even if Ding Ding's blood could kill them, Ding Ding would probably die of anemia.
This process lasted for a long time. These beautiful snakes were like people going to a market. They came quickly but also left quickly, all running towards the west.
We waited for a while and finally breathed a sigh of relief when we saw that everything around us had calmed down and there was no more noise.
I swallowed and asked the little ghosts what these ghosts were doing.
The little ghost shook his head and said he didn't know either. But he guessed it was related to the flute sound that just sounded, as if that sound attracted all the beautiful snakes.
His words reminded me of those Indian girls on TV who blew a trumpet to tease snakes. But the beautiful snakes would definitely not be so obedient.
Tintin thought so too. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems there is someone else here. Why don't we go over quietly and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
Although I was a little afraid of those beautiful snakes, I couldn't help my curiosity and nodded and agreed to him. There was nothing I could do if the little ghost didn't want to go, so I had to accommodate the two of us.
I had thought it through, and when we got there, no matter who called my name, I would not answer. With the lessons learned from the past, if I fell into the same pit twice, I would be a real pig.
The three of us were very careful, looking along the bamboo leaves on the ground. Even the hanged ghost was following us, tiptoeing like a thief. I looked at him with disdain. It was obvious that no matter how he walked, he would not make any sound. He was pretending to be a living person, and he never got tired of it.
We walked for about half an hour and found that the bamboo forest was much larger than we had imagined. We still hadn't seen the end and had no idea where we were. We just followed the fallen leaves along the way. Fortunately, we didn't get lost.
We walked forward for a while, and suddenly the little ghost and Ding Ding were stunned, even the hanged ghost was the same, with a look of confusion on his face.
I looked at them strangely, thinking something had happened again, and asked them in a low voice what was going on. But the two of them still looked very strange, looking ahead and then looking at me.
Tintin suddenly said, this feeling is the Yin Banner on the train, right?
I was a little surprised. Didn't that person disappear? Did he appear nearby? But I'm not like them. I can't feel anything at all. I can only ask, are you sure?
The kid raised his eyebrows and said that it was just somewhat similar to the feeling he had on the train at that time, but as to whether it was true, who knew, since he had never seen what that person looked like.
I sighed in my heart and said, "You knew there was a Yin Banner on the train, but you didn't tell me, which made me so excited, as if I had discovered a new continent."
The little ghost smiled evilly and said, "As long as you are happy, little brats are easy to satisfy. Don't stare at me with that expression. It seems that this Yin Fan is really not an ordinary person. We should be more careful in our actions."
I nodded dejectedly, then followed them and walked forward.
We originally wanted to see what the beauty snake was doing, but now this idea has been rejected. Ding Ding said, why don't we just follow this breath and see where it is going.
I asked him if he could detect the scent on me.
Ding Ding gave me a blank look and said, "If you can't even feel him, how can he feel you?"
I just said that you can't feel it. After all, not everyone can have two Ultramen protecting them.
When Tintin heard this, he was delighted and said, "That's right, we are going to fight monsters."
We laughed for a while and continued to move forward. It took us several hours to walk out of the bamboo forest. We saw traces of snakes crawling everywhere on the ground. The originally bumpy ground was almost smoothed out.
My feet were covered with blisters and were in great pain. Ding Ding and Xiao Gui were also very tired. They said that we had followed him all the way and climbed over several mountains, so where the hell was this guy going?
I was also very distressed. I felt that we had already gone deep into the mountains and it would be difficult to get out. If I continued to follow, I didn't know how far I had to go.
I dragged my feet and walked forward a few more steps. I looked into the distance for a while and suddenly saw some smoke coming from the valley ahead, and vaguely, there were traces of human activities.
I was delighted and shouted, "I saw the village. Could it be Jiuye?"
Tintin and Xiao Gui also came up, looked into the distance for a while, smiled and said that maybe it was it. How come we walked so far and only saw such a village? Although it was not clear yet, it was somewhat similar to what the person on the Internet described.
This gave us a lot of motivation, and we felt like we had found a way out of a desperate situation. We quickened our pace and headed towards the village. Although we went to many wrong places along the way, we finally arrived.
Standing not far from the village, we rested for a while. Ding Ding and I were both excited. In comparison, Xiao Gui was much more silent. He said, "The situation is not good. The Yin Banner has also come here and is not moving now. I wonder if those beautiful snakes have followed us."
I thought about it for a while and said, looking at the situation at the time, the person on the train probably wasn't a bad person. At most, he just knew some ways to protect himself, just like you said before.
Ding Ding said that we used to think so, but now we are not so sure.
As he said this, he suddenly laughed, which made me feel a little confused. I was about to ask, but I heard Ding Ding say, "This guy is still a mystery. Look, he came as soon as I said it."
I turned my head and looked towards the village, and saw a man walking out. It was indeed the Yin Fan I met on the train. Although we only met once, I had already remembered his appearance in my heart.
