farmer and snake

The three of them were ready to go back.On the way, the woman met the concubine of Zhang Yuan's family, the one whose daughter was eaten by the snake demon. Eat and talk at home.

Zhang Dazhuang was still in a daze, the day when he came to buy new year's goods and the dog skin plaster hanging on his body were like yesterday's dream.

"Brother Zhuang, what are you thinking? Now it's over, we have free dinner", Xu Qingya pulled Dazhuang, "Follow up."

Zhang Dazhuang was absent-mindedly picking up the rice, Xu Qingya just put vegetables in his own bowl, Zhang Dazhuang's daughter-in-law only cared about talking with his concubine.Zhang Dazhuang was silently listening to the story of the snake demon eating her daughter.

"Brother Zhuang", Xu Qingya came over, "Are you afraid?"

"do not know"

Xu Qingya, "..."

"Hey, Big Brother, this city is not safe right now, so be careful at night," Xu Qingya muttered softly, "I can't deal with this snake demon, I'm afraid I'll run away as soon as he appears!"

After eating, it was completely dark, and Zhang Dazhuang and the others temporarily stayed in Yuanwai's Mansion for one night.Zhang Dazhuang and his wife lived in the same room, and Xu Daochang lived in the same room.The woman detested him and asked him to sleep on the floor. Hearing the woman's snoring, Da Zhuang couldn't fall asleep, so he simply went out for a walk in the yard.

In the middle of the night, Da Zhuang saw a little girl walking in the yard.

"Hey, big brother, this city is not safe now, so be careful at night," Xu Qingya whispered, "I can't beat this snake demon, I'm afraid I'll run away after him!" Xu Qingya said again in the evening echoed in his ears.

Da Zhuang shook his head, he probably came out to relieve himself, so he wandered around again.

"Mother~" My aunt heard a child calling from the window in the middle of the night, she poked her head out in surprise and joy, and saw a five or six-year-old girl clearly standing on the garden path under the moonlight.That little girl is none other than the aunt's little daughter who was swallowed by the snake demon a few days ago.

"Mother~ I'm cold~" The little girl called her mother again, and the aunt didn't know whether she should go out or not.

Zhang Dazhuang ran into this scene again, he hid behind the house, watching the weird scene.

"Mother~ I managed to escape, don't you want me~"

"You... I clearly saw you being swallowed", the aunt recalled the bloody scene that day, and she couldn't help crying again.

"Mother~ When he was swallowing me, a priest passed by and saved me~" The girl paused, "Then he went after the big snake, I... I was shocked and scared, I don't know Where did you run to...and only then did you find your way home"

"Mother~" the girl continued to call her mother while crying.

The aunt looked at the child's dirty clothes and face, she must have suffered in the past few days, and the mother couldn't help feeling soft.She pushed open the door and walked slowly towards the little girl, "Ruru, is it really you?"

"Mother, take me to take a shower and change into clean clothes."

"Okay, okay, mother, let someone prepare hot water right away," the aunt said, and ran towards her daughter excitedly.Ruru is her only child, and also her closest relative in this mansion.

The little girl looked at her mother with a smile, and the aunt rushed over and hugged her little daughter lovingly.

Sudden......

The little girl laughed more and more weirdly, the corners of her mouth cracked into weird arcs, and she actually swallowed her mother's head in. The concubine who was holding the little girl's hand began to struggle.Zhang Dazhuang hid behind and stared blankly. He saw that the little girl's mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and her face was torn. The little girl's figure also began to twist, stretching, twisting, swallowing, stretching, twisting. , devouring, until the poor concubine was swallowed whole.Zhang Dazhuang was so frightened that he hid behind and didn't dare to make a sound. He couldn't believe that the one he had kissed before was actually such a thing. Thinking about kissing that snake demon before, he felt disgusted.Zhang Dazhuang sat paralyzed on the ground in fright, and when he fell, he crushed the dry grass. In the quiet night, the sound was enough to attract the snake demon's attention.The snake demon turned his face, the tattered human skin of the little girl was still hanging on his body, Zhang Dazhuang only crawled and ran to Xu Qingya's room.

"Daozhang Xu! Daozhang Xu!" He wanted to shout but lowered his voice, fearing that the snake demon would be attracted again, "Daozhang Xu, open the door quickly!"

After a while, Xu Qingya, who was in a drowsy sleep, opened the door, "Brother Zhuang, what's wrong with you? You can't sleep in the middle of the night. I'll boil you another bowl of talisman water..."

"No, no, no Fushui", Zhang Dazhuang didn't know how to organize his words anymore, "Let me go in first and then talk", he rushed in and closed the door tightly as soon as he entered.

"Xu, Daoist Xu, the snake demon, the snake demon is here, I saw him eating people just now!" Zhang Dazhuang said while grabbing Xu Qingya's neckline, and Xu Qingya, who was sleeping in a daze, shuddered when he heard the word "snake demon" After waking up, he hugged Zhang Dazhuang with his backhand, "Brother Dazhuang~ Where is the snake demon~ I'm afraid of snakes~"

"Where is the paper crane? Can't the paper crane notify Daoist Zhang!" Zhang Dazhuang suddenly thought of the paper crane passing on the letter.

"Yes, yes, Brother Da Zhuang, I'll burn the paper crane right away." Xu Qingya frantically shook the contents of the bag and lay down on the ground looking for the paper crane.Zhang Dazhuang was not idle either, he pushed all the tables and chairs in the house to the door, and pressed against the door, for fear that the man-eating monster would break in the door in the next second.

Xu Qingya picked out the paper crane from a pile of sundries, wrote a message on it, opened the window, and the paper crane flew away from the window as soon as he blew.

"When will Daoist Xu, Zhang, and Daoist Zhang be able to come?"

"Should, it should be soon"

The two people in the room who were afraid of snakes huddled together.

Zhang Daochang picked up the paper crane in the middle of the night and rushed to Liu Yuanwai's house at a very fast speed. As soon as he entered the door, he saw several concubines of Liu Yuanwai crying for the unlucky concubine who was eaten just now, and Liu Yuanwai was assigning people to protect him. The two sons of the house were brightly lit and noisy.Zhang Daochang thought to himself, no good, if there is such a fuss, the snake demon might have been alarmed and ran away.

"Daozhang Zhang! You are finally here!" Yuanwai Zhang saw Daozhang Zhang as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"I know everything about the family, please forgive me."

"Daozhang Zhang, I understand why this person cannot be brought back to life after death, but this living person still counts on you to save his life! Do you have any way to save his life, please save my two poor sons~" Liu Yuanwai As he spoke, he burst into tears.

"Let me see the situation first..."

"Quick, quickly invite Daoist Xu to come!"

Xu Qingya and Zhang Dazhuang, who were still shivering, were brought over.

"Xiao Xu, tell me about the situation."

"I... I was sleeping, and then I was woken up by Big Brother."

Daoist Zhang, "..."

"It was me, I saw that snake demon eating people..." Da Zhuang told Zhang Daochang the whole incident.

After Zhang Daochang heard this, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the innocent mother and daughter, "Now you see the true face of the snake demon, right?"

"Yes..." Da Zhuang responded in a low voice, shaking his head.

Zhang Daochang walked around the house after hearing this, but he didn't expect to find a line of blood on the floor of the strong wife's room, writing "I eat my concubine today, and I will eat you tomorrow". Zhang Daochang saw this provocation After leaving a message, I felt a tightness in my chest, and was so angry that the Taoist priests who came over also started talking.

"Oh, Daoist Zhang, what can I do! That monster is going to eat me!" The woman started crying again, pulling at Daoist Zhang's sleeve, "You have to arrange some more reliable Taoist priests for me, that little Xu Can not be done!"

Zhang Daochang shook his hands, thought for a while, then turned his head and said to Da Zhuang, "I'm going to be stung in the future, Zhang Dazhuang, would you like to accompany me in a good show of catching a turtle in a jar tomorrow night?"

"En. It's good if I can catch that snake monster." Zhang Dazhuang witnessed the snake monster's cannibalism, and now mentioning Xiaoqing, he no longer has any intimacy, only a wave of fear.He shook his head, saw the snake slough around his neck, tore it off and threw it in the grass, but he didn't notice that Xu Qingya secretly picked it up from behind.

At night, Xu Qingya didn't sleep, so he found a place where no one was around, and stared blankly at the snake slough he had picked up.

"Has that idiot finally let go of his thoughts, huh?" Xu Qingya chuckled, his face was a bit bleak under the moonlight.He held the snake slough in one hand and the jug in the other, and took another sip for himself.

"Fake wine! You can't get drunk no matter what!" He smashed the flagon to the ground in a fit of anger.Shouldn't have come back, why bring shame on yourself, why can't you think about it!Ah, it's not that he can't think about it, that Daoist Zhang is also deceiving too much, he has been chasing him for two years, is it annoying?It's time to treat him, and after the shock, he took out his heart in front of the whole city. Xu Qingya found the scene very interesting when he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to see the expression Zhang Daochang looked at his heart If there is a chance, I will definitely draw it and pass it on to Zhang Daochang's apprentices. "Hahahahahaha", Xu Qingya picked up another jug ​​of wine while laughing, and danced alone under the moonlight while drinking. With a wave of his hand, he threw the snake slough out.

"Hmm... no, I, I want to pick it up", he twisted and half walked and half climbed to the edge of the snake slough, first stood up straight, then bent down to pick it up, his eyes were dazzled after drinking , caught an empty space and fell down.

"Wow~~ Who doesn't have eyesight and dares to sneak up on you!" Xu Qingya groaned, apparently quite drunk.He stretched out his hand to hold the snake slough, "Hey hey hey, I found a baby~~hiccup~ It's really rough, let me help you change it." Taking advantage of the drunken madness, Xu Qingya wrapped the snake slough with a messy red thread Take it off, and carefully tie the snake slough into the appearance of Dragon Boat Festival dumplings.

"Hey hey hey~~ Da Zhuang, look~ Is my skill better?" He turned his head and looked, he was alone under the cold moonlight, feeling deeply sad, something seemed to flow out of his eyes. "Hahahahahaha", after crying for a while, he laughed like crazy again, "Damn it! Damn it! Wait until I eat you all one by one!", shouting and throwing away the re-tied pendant Go out, "Yes! This uncle is here to seek revenge! Daoist Zhang and that woman~ hiccup...hahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Crazy, Xu Qingya hugged the wine jar and leaned against the tree and fell asleep. At dawn, he woke up from the cold. He wiped his face, stood up and shook the residual snow on his body, and was about to get up to leave, but kicked Kicked out the pendant half buried under the snow.Xu Qingya stared at the pendant for a while, then picked it up and put it in his arms, and then left, as if he wasn't the one who went crazy last night.
