Daming female local tyrant

"Snake King? Ah Bai?" Jing Lan had a disbelieving expression on her face.

"You don't believe it? In a few days, it will be fifteen. At that time, let's see, Ah Bai gathered Hongze's snakes in the holy mountain." The woman in white said firmly, and she didn't look like she was boasting at all.

Although Jing Lan was very interested in the scene that the woman in white said about the snake king summoning a group of snakes for a meeting, when she thought that Shiwu was the day when she promised her ancestors to go back to the Lu family in Jinling to spend the Lantern Festival and enjoy the lanterns together, but now she was trapped here. I don't know when and what month I can go back, and I immediately feel panicked in my heart.

She lowered her head and pretended to turn over two pages of the book to hide her sadness.

The woman in white didn't understand why the Han woman opposite her lowered her head and smiled when she mentioned fifteen, looking very depressed.

After thinking about it, she changed the subject: "Hello, what's your name?"

Jing Lan raised her eyes and said, "You can call me Alan. How about you, saint?"

The woman in white pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile: "I am famous. Auntie called me Shiwu. She said that she went to the stockade to choose me on Shiwu and brought me back."

"Fifteen? Fifteen moons are round. This is a perfect name. Your aunt gave you a good name. By the way, how long is it until the fifteenth day?"

"There are seven more days until the full fifteenth moon."

After hearing this, Jing Lan calculated silently, and subtracted seven from fifteen, so today is the eighth day of the lunar new year.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, I boarded a boat from Jinling to Yangzhou with Shen Wan and Cheng Ze. Can you find yourself?

I don't know if they will find Hong Zelai, if they do, it will be terrible if they are caught by the barbarians here.

If possible, she really wanted to send a letter out, telling them not to come here to find her.

This place is deep in water and dense in forests, even if you bring thousands of officers and soldiers, it may be difficult to attack, let alone only dozens or hundreds of people from Lu family or Shen Wan.

If you want to really leave here, I'm afraid you still have to rely on the saint named Shiwu in front of you.

After spending a short time with her, Jing Lan felt that Shiwu was not a vicious, sinister and cunning barbarian woman, but a pure and kind woman.She didn't know where this feeling came from, but she just felt it.

Jing Lan wanted to beg her to let her go, but she was afraid that after she knew that she wanted to leave, she would raise her vigilance and make it more difficult for her to leave.

So what should I say so that she won't be afraid of running away?

After thinking about it, Jing Lan asked her, "Can I call you Shiwu?"

Nod at fifteen.

Jing Lan bit her lip and asked her: "Fifteen, can you tell me the truth, do you really want to feed me to your Ah Qing?"

Shiwu didn't answer right away, but said after a while: "If you want to escape and are caught by my tribe, I will feed you to Ah Qing."

"..." Jing Lan's heart trembled for a moment, thinking that Fifteen had already seen through her own thoughts, knew that she wanted to escape, and said such words in advance, which also implied a warning.

Swallowing hard, Jing Lan asked tentatively, "Listen to you, if I stay here with peace of mind, won't you tell Ah Qing to eat me?"

Fifteen said yes.

"But what's the use of my staying here? I can't do anything, but I can eat."

"You can still read, and I like to listen to your words. After my aunt passed away, I lived alone on this holy mountain, only Ah Qing and Ah Bai accompanied me. I didn't even have anyone to talk to. I felt lonely."

It turned out that he asked for himself from the barbarian leader to have someone to accompany him.

But there are so many of her people here, why does she want to accompany her by herself?

Jing Lan told her about her doubts.

Fifteen grinned: "I told you that you can read. There are thousands of people in my clan, but none of them can read, especially the Materia Medica that Auntie left me. No one can read. People who can read can follow me. closer."

"closer?"

"that is……"

Fifteen closed her eyes and asked Jing Lan to close her eyes too, then stretched out a hand, and then she stretched out her own hand, and it exactly matched Jing Lan's palm.

She murmured: "I didn't look at you, and I didn't see where your hand was, but when I stretched out my hand, I could meet your hand, as if there was a thread between you and me invisible to the naked eye, but you can close your eyes. , but the visible line."

Jing Lan opened her eyes when she heard this, and saw Fifteen with her eyes closed, her long eyelashes drooping, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a faint light, looking very holy.

At first, Jing Lan thought she was hallucinating, but after careful observation, she saw that the sunlight penetrated through the round holes on the stone wall, and the sunlight shone on Shiwu who was dressed in white, so she saw Her whole body was shrouded in a faint light, and she possessed the beauty of extraordinary beauty.

Jing Lan knew that Shiwu might not be talking nonsense. Although she was the saint of the barbarians here and controlled the snake gods worshiped by the barbarians, she was actually similar to the wizards of the Han people before the Qin and Han Dynasties.Wizards learn spells, spells, medicine, witchcraft, and their perception, the so-called sixth sense, is much stronger than ordinary people.

Therefore, Fifteen can sense where his hands are by closing his eyes.

She would say that there was an invisible but palpable line between herself and herself.

Jing Lan couldn't feel this line, but Shiwu said she could feel it, which made Jing Lan quite stressed.

Because, she thinks differently, if she is fifteen, if she finds such a person, she may not let go easily.

Fifteen is very lonely on this holy mountain. She wants to be accompanied by someone. It's not easy to come across one, she asked for it from the barbarian leader, so it's no wonder she let it go casually.

"Over the years, your village has captured quite a few Han people, but you can't find a single one who can read? Most of the Han people are able to read and write. If you don't like the older ones, there are still young ones, you can find them. Not one of them?" Jing Lan still asked unwillingly.

Fifteen replied simply: "But I don't like men, I like women like Auntie. After Auntie passed away, you are the first literate, young, and good-looking woman I see. .I want you to replace my aunt and stay with me."

"..." Jing Lan was stunned, the fifteenth in front of her couldn't be a natural bend, could it?

However, what she said was to find a woman to replace her aunt to accompany her. Could it be that she is an Oedipus?

"Then how do you want me to accompany you? Except that I can read and write, I can't do anything else."

"Let's sleep together, eat and read books together, collect herbs and prepare medicines together, plant flowers and enjoy flowers together, listen to the rain and watch the stars together..."

Jing Lan listened to her happily describing what the two of them could do together, and thought, if Shen Wan was like her, then she would definitely feel happy like a fairy.Abandoning mundane affairs, happy to be happy for half a lifetime, living a double-night life in this beautiful and inaccessible place, not to mention how beautiful it is.This is also the life she had longed to live with Shen Wan.

It's a pity that the person on the opposite side who likes and has the conditions to live this kind of life is Shiwu, she is not Shen Wan.

After Fifteen finished speaking, he opened his eyes, looked at Jing Lan burningly, and asked her expectantly, "Alan, are you willing?"

"I..." Jing Lan turned her gaze away, and remained silent for a long time.

When Shiwu saw this, her bright eyes quickly dimmed, and her eyes were filled with gloom. She picked up the bamboo whistle hanging on her chest, and suddenly blew a few times. The bamboo whistle made different long and short sounds.

Jing Lan heard the sound of the bamboo whistle, and looked at Fifteen for no reason.

But soon she heard the sound of Xixi, her scalp was numb, and she was about to look around when suddenly she felt something wrapped around her body.

Bowing her head, she turned pale with fright. She didn't know when or where Ah Qing crawled out and wrapped her around her body. In the blink of an eye, she was tightly wrapped by Ah Qing, and she didn't move at all from the neck down. no.

"Fifteen...you...are you going to let Ah Qing eat me?" Jing Lan asked with white lips.

Shiwu didn't answer, but got off the stone bed, put on her hemp shoes, walked to a corner of the stone room, took out a small black porcelain jar the size of a fist, walked back, squeezed Jing Lan's chin, Jing Lan opened her mouth, bit the wooden cork on the small black porcelain with her mouth, pulled it out, then pointed the mouth of the small jar at Jing Lan's wide mouth, and poured it upside down.

Jing Lan only felt a salty smell in her mouth.

"Swallow it." Shiwu ordered coldly, "Otherwise I will let Ah Qing eat you."

Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Jing Lan dared not suspect that what she said was a lie.

She never expected that this fifteen, who was joking with her not long ago, with an innocent face, suddenly became so sinister and terrifying.

Ah Qing's small bowl-like snake head was only a foot away from Jing Lan's head. Jing Lan absolutely believed that it had grown its mouth and could swallow itself alive from head to toe.

What's more, Ah Qing spat out snake letters from time to time and made a hissing sound, which made Jing Lan feel even more horrified.

Jing Lan made up her mind, closed her eyes, and swallowed the salty smell in her mouth.

"Open your mouth." Fifteen ordered again.

"You...you're still here?" Jing Lan nervously looked at Shiwu's hand, thinking that she was going to feed herself some weird food.

"Open your mouth wide." Fifteen ordered again, "Let me see if you have swallowed it?"

Jing Lan heaved a sigh of relief, and opened her mouth obediently. Fifteen looked into Jing Lan's mouth carefully, then stretched out a finger to stir it, and then said with satisfaction, "Okay, shut up."

She took her finger out of Jinglan's mouth, picked up the bamboo whistle hanging around her neck and blew a few times, Ah Qing let go of Jinglan, and crawled down from the stone bed to the side of the stone wall. Plate into a lump.

After Ah Qing let go of her and crawled away, Jing Lan's body went limp, and she lay down on the floor, panting only for breath.

She was so frightened that she was sweating profusely. She felt nauseous and retched a few times but couldn't vomit.

Fifteen took off his hemp shoes again and got on the stone bed, sat down next to the small wooden table and continued to read her book full of symbols and graphics, completely ignoring Jing Lan.

Jing Lan lay there for at least a quarter of an hour, until she felt less uncomfortable, then straightened up, looked at the fifteenth sitting opposite the small wooden table, who was like a piece of ice, and asked her a little weakly: "You, you What did you feed me just now?"
