cloudless sky

Chu Wu fell headlong into the snake basket, and Tan Zhonglu stuffed his two legs into it, closed the basket and firmly pressed the lid.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, the three souls were so frightened that the three souls came out of their bodies and the seven souls raised their heads, disregarding up, down, left, and right, just kicking their hands and feet in an attempt to break through the bamboo basket. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I couldn't tell where it hurt, where it was numb, or where I was bitten, so I stretched out my hand tremblingly while crying.

All of a sudden, the snakes were wrapped around his hands and feet, and one of them slowly climbed towards his neck.

"You crazy woman! I'm dead, and I won't let you go! Turn into a ghost and come back to scare you! Ah! Ahhh! Crazy! I definitely don't want you, you are so crazy! You still have so many snakes, it stinks It's fishy and smelly! There's no girl whose house is as fishy and smelly as yours! Surely no one wants to play with you! Ahhh—" Chu Wu simply stopped punching and kicking, saving the last bit of energy He yelled at Tan Zhonglu loudly, couldn't help crying a few times, choked his throat and continued to scold her.

There was also a snake wrapped around his neck, and a snake's head hissed against his head, licking his face one by one.

Chu Wu closed his eyes and raised his head and put his face on the lid of the basket, and his full of horror turned into cursing at the top of his voice: "Tan Zhonglu, you crazy woman—"

The lid of the basket on his face was flipped off, Chu Wu blinked two tears, looked up at Tan Zhonglu's expressionless face in the night.Chu Wu was stunned for a moment, and jumped up suddenly, wanting to jump out of the bamboo basket. Tan Zhonglu put one hand on the top of his head and pushed him back.

"Where is Zhong Chongtang?" He asked again, without changing the tone of a single word.

"You can't beat him again! Why do you have to look for him! I'm kind enough to advise you, but if you don't listen, I'll tell you if you want to die! He'll just turn right ahead and then turn right again, heading east for thirty miles On the way down the mountain, there is a place to rest." Chu Wu opened his eyes and said a bunch of nonsense, and finally complained: "Can't you ask me carefully? If you insist on letting snakes bite people, do you think you are crazy!"

"You were bitten?" Tan Zhonglu asked.

"Ok?"

It was only then that I came back to my senses on the fifth day of the lunar new year. I was so scared that I was stupid before. After hearing this sentence, I moved my hands and feet again. Although there were cold and wet snakes wrapped around my body, it seemed that no place was bitten.Tan Zhonglu fed him a medicine before throwing it into the snake basket. He probably didn't want him to be bitten to death before he asked the truth.

"Sister Tan," Chu Wu immediately looked at her with tears in his eyes, and said obediently, "Thank you, Sister Tan, for your mercy."

"Who do you think is lenient?" Tan Zhonglu whistled softly, and the snake coiled around Chu Wu's neck lowered its head and bit his shoulder, its fangs piercing into the flesh, and a sharp pain pierced his head.

"Ahhh—" Chuwu cried and screamed again.

No matter how he shook his shoulder, the snake still couldn't hold it in its mouth. At first, the whole shoulder hurt like his own, and there was an unbearable itching that gradually spread. He wanted to raise his hand to grab it. Even a snake as thick as his wrist couldn't lift it.

"I want to ask you one last time, where is Zhong Chongtang? If you don't say anything, I will stuff you back into the basket. There are seven snakes in the basket on the left, and two more in the basket on the right. One more time." Tan Zhonglu said unhurriedly amidst his bitter cries: "Don't try to coax me, Zhong Chongtang never went down the mountain at all, his injury can't move anymore."

"You crazy woman!" Chu Wu cried and cursed.

Tan Zhonglu whistled again, a small snake bit the back of Chu Wu's hand, the heel of his huddled in the basket hurt, and the big toe of the foot that lost the shoe was caught by a snake at the bottom of the basket.Chu Wu screamed one after another, and tried to slam into the side of the bamboo basket trying to fall out. Tan Zhonglu turned back the hand holding his head, but still firmly pressed it back into the pile of snakes in the basket.

It's useless to cry with her on the fifth day of the lunar new year, it's useless to scold her, it's even useless to say good things, she huddles in the snake basket and clenches her teeth tightly, staring at her angry.

"Why don't you say it? What does Feng Buwen's son have to do with you?" Tan Zhong Lu Qi asked.

"Feng Buwen's son doesn't have much to do with you. You still hate him, isn't it because of your senior brother's words that you insist on looking for him. You know how to be trusted and loyal, don't I? Mr. Chongtang said that if he can’t hand it over to you, then he can’t hand it over to you!” Chu Wu couldn’t hold back the pain as he spoke, gritted his teeth and moaned with his nose.

"One antidote I gave you can't stop much snake venom, and a few more bites will hurt you to death."

"Bite me to death!"

Chuwu yelled, bowed his head and plunged into the basket by himself, Tan Zhonglu only stopped him from jumping out and didn't watch out for him to go down, the snake at the bottom of the basket surged suddenly, and even entangled him to death.

"What are you waiting for! Put the lid on!" Chu Wuwo yelled at her with her eyes closed in the snake basket.

Tan Zhonglu stretched out his hand, grabbed his collar and lifted it up again, this time directly lifted him out of the basket, brushed away the snake wrapped around his body, put him back in the basket, and threw him onto the grass beside him.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I rolled a few times on the grass, turned over and wanted to stand up, but my hands and feet were numb and painful, I couldn't stand upright and fell back.Tan Zhonglu walked up to him, Chu Wu stepped sideways on the ground with the foot that was not bitten by the snake, and crawled forward with the grass. Tan Zhonglu squatted down, raised his palm, and pressed his light hand on him side.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, she felt a chill in her waist and side, and when she looked back, she saw one of her palms slowly raised, faintly purple in the night.

When Tan Zhonglu was facing Zhong Chongyan and the others, Chu Wu was running away with his mule in a hurry, and he could hear the rolling and wailing of the Zhong family who had died under his palm, and he saw the tragedy when he turned his head.At that time, I was busy running for my life, so I forced myself to forget about it.Now seeing her poisonous palm and body again, all kinds of situations flashed through my mind, knowing that I was unlucky, I couldn't help but trembled with fear.

Seeing that he didn't scream or run away, Tan Zhonglu seemed frightened, snorted softly, and said, "It's not hard to hit you. It will take some time for the poison to enter the meridians. You can still live for another hour. I don't want to Listening to your nonsense is a waste of effort, take me to find Feng Pingping at this hour, and I will detoxify you, if you can't find you, you will die."

"You...you mean what you say?" Chu Wu asked in a crying voice, chatting his teeth lightly.

"Of course." Tan Zhonglu said.

Chu Wu bowed his head and thought for a while, the wound on his waist was only cold at the beginning, and gradually burned like a soldering iron, he turned over and pressed this side to the grass, scratched the soil, and pressed his head into the soil, whimpering softly stand up.

"My poisonous palm has many kinds of poisons mixed in it. The symptoms of the people affected by the palm are different. Only the miserable death is the same." Tan Zhonglu said: "I see that you are trustworthy and have a backbone, so I will tell you more. A few words, or I will kill you now, and it will be the same if I go looking for it myself."

Chu Wu suddenly raised his head, stared at him, and nodded vigorously. "Okay, I'll take you there."

Tan Zhonglu dragged Chu Wu back to the mule, and threw him into the bamboo basket on the other side. Chu Wu was about to struggle, but found that the basket was empty without a single snake.So honestly sat in the basket, Tan Zhonglu jumped on the back of the mule and sat sideways, driving the mule leisurely up the mountain.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I lay silently on the edge of the bamboo basket and stared at the mountain road ahead. The wound became more painful every time, and I endured it very hard.

Tan Zhonglu slapped him on the head and asked, "How do I get there? Remember to guide me. If you speak slowly, if you say too little, if you make a mistake, I will throw you down."

"Go forward." Chu Wu said in a muffled voice.

Tan Zhonglu handed him a pill, Chu Wu looked up at her, Tan Zhonglu stuffed it straight into his mouth, slapped him, forcing him to swallow it. "It's not an antidote, it's an analgesic. It's troublesome if you faint from pain."

"Oh." The fifth day answered.

The two of them and a mule were walking slowly on the Jingye Mountain Road, only to hear the hooves rising and falling and the mule wheezing, and some hissing sounds from the snake basket next door.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I trembled once I heard it, and my hands and feet shrank even tighter.

"Turn along the road ahead, turn behind that rock, and then go up." Chuwu pointed the way at the fork, Tan Zhonglu went down and led the mule to climb the difficult road, Chuwu lay in the basket and watched She said, and asked: "Sister Qin, I still want to ask you, why do you have to work so hard to find Shou Pingping, and you hate him, so you just pretend that he is gone, and then go find someone you don't hate, Feng Bu Isn't Wen's son enough? Well, let me think about it, if you don't count him, then the older one is Feng Buwen's youngest son."

"Dead." Tan Zhonglu said.

"Then how big is it?" Chuwu asked.

"Dead too. Yu Yinghong, Feng Buwen's wife, she gave birth to five children, and the first few died, only this one is still alive." Tan Zhonglu said.

"Why is it so miserable, have they all been killed?"

"Those who died of illness, fell to death, drowned, and were born stillborn, Yu Yinghong felt that Feng Buwen being the head of the Three Corpses Sect and recruiting a wicked person would be detrimental to their morality, so the children would not be able to support them. Temper, Feng Buwen is chasing and beating all over the villa. But Feng Buwen's children with other women are living well, and the oldest one is older than me. In the villa, Yu Yinghong chased and beat Feng Buwen again." Tan Zhonglu thought for a while, and then said: "Those who were not born by her were killed by others, just this time, your Mr. Chongtang led others to kill .”

"Oh." Chu Wu sighed, and said, "Then... no wonder Feng Buwen takes Shou Pingping so seriously and wants you to take care of him."

"I didn't even think about it, but you do. Now that you understand, just take me to find it honestly, and don't make any foolish plans." Tan Zhonglu said.

"Sister Qin, that Yu Yinghong, is she better than your senior brother? Always chasing him and beating him." Chu Wu asked again.

"No, my senior brother can't do anything. Only Xuewu can learn by himself without a master. I have never seen anyone who is more powerful than him. Zhong Chongtang and the others combined their strength to kill him. My senior brother. But Yu Yinghong's kung fu is also better than many people, and the three corpses can't stop her if they want to persuade her to fight."

"Your senior brother is stronger than her, and you were chased and beaten by her?"

"I don't understand what he is doing either. He is afraid of his wife and dare not fight back. He is not happy after being beaten. Every time he hates to divorce her, he doesn't treat her well. When she gave birth to the last child, she died. I was sad and sad. When the sad was over, I married a new wife in the second year."

"I don't understand this time either. I still don't understand a lot about adults." Chu Wu said.

"Then do you understand that what I said was not meant to scare you, tell me, where have we been?" Tan Zhonglu asked.

Looking out from the bamboo basket on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the mule came to a low cliff. In front of him was a black and dark shadow of an empty mountain.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I opened my eyes wide and looked over. It was too far away, and I couldn't see the sloping slope in the middle of the rock wall.

Knowing that he only had one hour to live, he still wanted to take a look at Zhong Chongtang and Pingping from a distance, and coaxed Tan Zhonglu to come to this place, but he couldn't see it either.

"You really don't want to live anymore." Tan Zhonglu snorted coldly and raised a hand.
