Picking up the piece of snake skin, I touched it for a while and put it in my pocket. Then, You Xiaoqing and I went out of the woods, but she did not go home immediately, but followed me to my house for a long time, even eating lunch. I ate it at my house.
As for You Xiaoqing's arrival, it was just that my classmates came to visit, so my mother didn't ask me more.
After lunch, You Xiaoqing told me about her homework for a while, and then she went back by herself. I asked her if she needed me to deliver it, and she said no.
After You Xiaoqing left, my mother began to ask You Xiaoqing why she came to me, and I said, "She said to see the yellow bird, I said the yellow bird was gone, she didn't believe it, so she came over and ran in person, but the result was nothing. Neither was found."
After hearing my explanation, my mother stopped asking.
After You Xiaoqing left, I did my homework for half a day at home. During this period, I took out the milky white snake skins and touched them several times. Every time I touched the icy coldness, my mind became calm and my thoughts became much clearer. I didn't know how to solve the math application problems, but after touching the snake skin, I suddenly had an idea.
This feeling made me feel like I really found a treasure.
It's spring now, waiting for the summer vacation, Master Liu should be here, let him take a look at this snake skin, maybe he can see some way.
After school started, You Xiaoqing's attitude towards me became much better, and he even took the initiative to ask me for some homework questions, which also enhanced the friendship with You Xiaoqing a lot. Of course, the most important thing is that both of us know that. "Snake" secret.
In the following days, You Xiaoqing asked me to take her to the forest again, but the little snake did not shed its skin, but went to bask in the sun under the tree of the yellow bird. I found that I gradually liked the little snake. The snake, especially the way it is coquettish and basking in the sun, is quite cute.
Spring has passed in a blink of an eye. With the hot weather, the summer vacation is approaching. During the recent period, You Xiaoqing's little snake has shed its skin again. I asked her at the time, how many times the little snake sheds a year. For the second time, she said that sometimes three times, sometimes four times, it depends on the situation.
Later, I learned that the snake You Xiaoqing had molted was similar to the other snakes in our area. They shed their skin three or four times a year, and in rare cases it could reach four times.
You Xiaoqing didn't give me the skin of the second shedding, but kept it by himself. I asked her what the snake skin was used for, and she said one word: "Eat it!"
Eat snake skin? I get goosebumps just listening to it, and if it really makes me eat, I probably won't be able to swallow it.
When the summer vacation was approaching, You Xiaoqing came to see me again, saying that his little snake was sick and that he was going to a faraway place to find a doctor. I asked her where to go, and she said she didn’t know.
Then she didn't come to school the next day. The teacher asked who knew about You Xiaoqing's situation, but no one knew. Later, the teacher went to You Xiaoqing's house in person to find out that something big happened to her.
Here's the thing. You Xiaoqing left my house the night before and went home. It was normal before dinner, but after dinner, You Xiaoqing kept talking nonsense, saying that monsters came, someone harmed her, and someone ate her. friend…
Her family was terrified by such nonsense, and sent to the hospital. The doctor said that she had a fever, and she was confused, so she gave her an injection to reduce the fever. The result was really effective, and You Xiaoqing stopped talking nonsense!
After You Xiaoqing fell asleep that night, the people in her family were completely relieved. You Xiaoqing slept soundly throughout the night, and her family did not hear her making any more noise, but the next day, when her family called her to get up, they found out , You Xiaoqing is no longer there, but her schoolbag, workbook, and her favorite notebook are still there.
At first, her family thought she was going to the toilet, so they looked for it, but they didn't find it. They looked around the house, in the village, and in the school, but they still couldn't find it. Only then did her family realize that You Xiaoqing might be missing. .
But at night, You Xiaoqing was clearly the one who fell asleep while watching, and the door was always plugged in well.
Could it be that someone climbed over the wall into their house in the middle of the night and took You Xiaoqing away
So the wandering people called the police. The police from the township police station surveyed her house for a long time and found no trace of anyone. Instead, they found a brand new milky white snake skin on the wall, and it was still on the dirt road behind her house. A trace similar to that of a large snake was found.
So some people speculated that You Xiaoqing was entangled by the snake.
Even the police thought it was possible, because judging from the traces of the big snake on the road, it was probably a big python, at least the thickness of an adult's thigh.
And following the traces of the big python, they chased them all the way to the back mountain in the village and disappeared. The village also organized villagers to search the mountain, but there was still no result.
So on the day that You Xiaoqing disappeared, the township issued a notice, asking everyone to take strict precautions against the attack of the boa constrictor and prevent any more children from being taken away.
When I heard the news that You Xiaoqing was carried away by a snake, I also groaned in my heart. A snake with the thickness of an adult's thighs must be so long and terrifying. If You Xiaoqing was really carried away by such a snake, then she must have already It was eaten.
After school that day, Zhao Jie and I sneaked over to You Xiaoqing's house to have a look. Her mother was the only one in her house. The other adults went out to find You Xiaoqing. Her mother was crying in the yard. .
When Zhao Jie and I got home, the story of You Xiaoqing had already spread to our village. My mother asked me to go to school in the future, and I had to go with my father after school to prevent me from being carried away by snakes. It is even more forbidden for me to go to any groves, small rivers and other places to play.
I asked my mother when I could go out to play, and my mother said, "Wait for the big bug to be caught."
I asked my mother again: "Is that You Xiaoqing really caught by the big bug?"
My mother said: "It should be, everyone in the village said that, and the police also found the traces of the long worm, it is almost inseparable."
For a while, the rumor that the big snake eats the child spread in our area, which will make people panic. Some chickens in the house were taken away by the weasel, and it is not said that the weasel took it. saw something like that.
All the time, all the things that were lost in our house were said to be eaten by snakes.
Of course, I don't care about this. What I care about is whether there is news about You Xiaoqing, but more than half a month has passed and the summer vacation is over, and there is still no news about You Xiaoqing.
At this time, people have already started to say that this girl You Xiaoqing can't be found, and people are afraid that they have been digested by the big snake long ago, and even if they are found, the bones are gone...
The consternation sickness brought by the serpent did not end like this. On the third day of our summer vacation, a neighbor in Xiaoqing, a town in the upper reaches of the town, lost a calf, and traces of the serpent were also found in the cattle pen, along with a milky white calf. snake skin.
Immediately, the people in our area were clearly in a panic again. A big snake that can take a calf away, even if it eats an adult, it's no longer a problem, right
For a time, the people in our place closed their doors at night, and no one dared to hang out on the streets. As for poultry and livestock, the houses were tightly locked.
In the daytime, the village and the village will form a snake-fighting team, and then go up the mountain to look for the traces of the big snake, but every time they do not hit the big snake!
Of course, for their own face, these snake-fighting teams used small snakes on the mountain to attack the big snakes, and all kinds of snakes on our mountain suffered disaster.
And when I heard the news, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. I couldn't help thinking of destroying those bird nests. Now that adults have killed so many innocent snakes, so many snake families are gone...
Of course, I don't know that when people kill those novels, they are actually venting their fears, comforting and numbing themselves.
In this way, the snake-fighting operation was carried out, but just a week later, another calf was lost in the village, but this time only traces of snakes were found in the cowshed, and no milky white snakeskin was found.
As a result, rumors began to circulate in the countryside that the white snake had actually become a sperm, it was sucking blood everywhere, and when it sucked enough blood, it would start to harm people.
So some old people in the village and the village asked some goddesses and Taoist priests to come up with ideas. Later, I didn’t know if I really thought of a way to convince everyone, that is to ask the troupe to sing a play, then it is considered the legend of the white snake, especially the water. For the part of Manjinshan, we have to wait for the full moon to sing again.
The township also invited a troupe to sing The Legend of the White Snake for three consecutive days, and during those three days, our township did not lose any more poultry and livestock, so people felt that Orochi was restrained.
On the second day after the end of the play, Master Liu called our village chief and said that he had arrived at our county seat, and he was going to our village on the same day, and asked my family to clean up his room.
My family is naturally happy to hear this news, because with Master Liu there, even if there is a snake spirit, they are not afraid.
That day, Master Liu came on the last bus to our place. It was already dark at that time. My father and I went to the village to pick him up.
Master Liu didn't change much from his previous appearance. After seeing me, he said, "Xiaoyong, his spirit is good, his spiritual eyes have not deteriorated, not bad, not bad!"
After picking up Master Liu into the village, Master Liu asked my father, "What about the people in your village? I remember that when I came to your village in the summer, everyone would gather at the door to eat and enjoy the shade. Why can't I see anyone today? ?"
My dad said: "Master Liu, you don't know, recently we have a big bug in this area, specializing in children and livestock. People who don't make trouble are panicking, and people are hiding at this point."
"Long insect essence?" Master Liu expressed his surprise: "Why can't I feel any demonic energy? In this way, let's walk, and you can tell me what happened here slowly."
