Chapter 392 The Snake Came Out
who?
Who is speaking?
Ye Xiaomei looked around, Zhang Changjiang stretched his neck as if he wanted to see but didn't dare to, Shang Zhen even stuck his neck out of the window, and no one said a word.
——Help, help, ancestor.
While Ye Xiaomei's heart was pounding with fear, someone outside came over carrying straw and placed it directly at the entrance of the snake cave. He then struck a match, and when the flame started to rise, he poured a bucket of ashes on it, and the flame was instantly suppressed and turned into billowing smoke.
Several young men fanned the cave vigorously with palm-leaf fans.
——Help, ancestor, save me.
Ye Xiaomei was startled when she heard the voice coming from nowhere. Her face turned pale instantly and she saw a shadow appearing around the person in front of her.
"Xiao Mei, what's wrong with you?" Shang Zhen was the first to notice her staggering body.
Ye Xiaomei shook her head and whispered, "I heard someone shouting for help."
"What?" Shang Zhen raised his voice, and immediately glanced at Zhang Changjiang who didn't dare to move forward, and quickly lowered his voice:
"It can't be an illusion."
Ye Xiaomei stood up straight and shook her head: "It's not an illusion, it must not be."
In this gap, the people outside felt like a hornet's nest that had been poked.
——Ah, it’s coming out. It’s coming out.
——Run quickly.
Those who were fleeing in the crowd didn’t care who fell down. They could hear cries of pain and fear. Even the man holding the big net was so frightened that he sat on the ground and backed away quickly.
The guys who were digging the holes dropped their shovels and ran out.
Only the son of General Niu remained calm, shouting at the top of his voice: "Why are you running? Come back here."
There was another unfamiliar man with a square face, very ordinary, but a bit more nervous than Niu Dashuai's son: "Damn it, I don't believe this, all of you come back here."
At this moment, Shang Zhen was so scared that he opened his mouth and didn't know where he was. Zhang Changjiang just took a look and fainted on the spot.
Ye Xiaomei stared at the snake's head sticking out of the hole without blinking. The head was as big as a soup basin. The firewood at the entrance of the hole did not cause much damage to it. It was just the smoke that made the snake go crazy.
The moment her twisting body emerged from the hole, Ye Xiaomei opened her mouth, not knowing what to do.
Niu Dashuai’s son was shocked: “Call the police, it’s too big…”
He turned around and tried to escape, but was tripped by the dug foundation and fell headfirst on the foundation stone. His head burst open and he fainted, with blood flowing down the stone.
At this moment, the snake, which had stuck out most of its sturdy body, raised its head, and its strange white ears stood up, propping up its originally flat scales. It was like a male eagle with its feathers blown up.
Its snake head suddenly turned towards Ye Xiaomei, and its black snake eyes revealed a harsh and cold light, which made people feel bone-chilling coldness directly strike their hearts at a glance.
"Ah!" Shang Zhen finally uttered a sound, and then his body went limp and fell down.
At the same time, two villagers who were trampled on the messy ground had just climbed up, but they fainted again from fright. Only Marshal Niu was kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped together and kowtowing.
——Snake Immortal, these ignorant children disturbed your practice. Do you have any…
Just as Marshal Niu was praying, the snake's eyes moved away from Ye Xiaomei's face and turned to Marshal Niu. The forked tongue in its mouth drooped vigorously. As the ears grew bigger and bigger, the snake's head began to bend backwards and started to attack.
"Ah..." Marshal Niu obviously understood that the snake was going to attack him at this time. He was so scared that he sat down on the ground, kicking the mud on the ground with his legs as he backed away. His eyes were full of the fear of a dying man.
"Shut up." Ye Xiaomei didn't know where she got the confidence from.
After saying this, I was so scared that I gasped. I had only heard about how big the snake was before, but when I saw it for the first time, I was still scared to the point of almost peeing.
Unexpectedly, the big snake seemed to understand. It turned its head to look at Ye Xiaomei, and its earlobes gradually softened.
Ye Xiaomei let out a long sigh. That voice was definitely not an illusion. Absolutely not. She ran out:
"Come with me."
The big snake instantly laid the upper half of its body flat on the ground, leaving behind a trail as thick as a water tank, which followed all the way and completely covered Ye Xiaomei's footprints.
Meihua Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is closest to Xishan Mountain, where there is a large river that no one cares about because the water is too fast and not as shallow as Tieqiao River. Therefore, this river is basically not chosen for fishing or catching.
It is said that the water is too deep and several energetic young men were drowned there in the past. Since then, no one has come to this river to fish.
In less than a cup of tea, this incident spread throughout the entire Meihua Village, so much so that even the people in the county police station knew about it.
Everyone in the village was scared when they knew about this.
——Is it that big?
Zhao Mei cooked dinner and was surrounded by forty or fifty construction workers and a number of other lively villagers.
——My husband went to see it and said it was very big and had to be smoked out.
——Yes, I heard it was a white snake.
Zhao Mei was stunned by what she heard, and even forgot to eat the rice bowl she was holding: "Did they catch him? If he escapes, who can sleep peacefully?"
At this time, Li Dayun interrupted and said, "How dare you fight a white snake this big and almost a spirit?"
This sudden remark drew all the attention to the contractor Li Dayun.
——How can you, the leader of a construction team, be so superstitious?
Li Dayun snorted, "This is not superstition, this is a custom, just like setting off cannons and killing a rooster before going up to the main beam. Do you dare to call it superstition?"
Zhao Mei caught the opportunity and asked, "Aren't those construction workers over there yours?"
Li Dayun wiped his mouth and said, "I didn't lead them. I was only responsible for the projects in the east of the village. Whether it was digging a canal or building a bridge, we had to set off fireworks and burn incense when we broke ground to show respect to the land god and notify the animals living here to leave."
"Oh, you are really particular, brother." Zhao Mei said, and quickly took over Li Dayun's empty bowl and filled it up:
"Don't the contractors there care about these things?"
Li Dayun said with deep confidence: "Nothing has happened before. Once something happened, you will know that you have to believe this kind of thing."
The villagers were immediately changed to another topic by Li Dayun's words, as if no matter how big the snake in the west of the village was, it was impossible for it to run to the east of the village, and besides, someone had already called the police.
——Old Li, have you ever encountered any problems?
——Just tell us about it. It’s been many years since we’ve heard of such things. We were not allowed to talk about it before, but now that it’s open, tell everyone about it.
Obviously, everyone was so frozen that they had to put their hands in their sleeves and stomp on the spot, but after hearing something nice, no one wanted to go home.
Old Li finished his meal, put down his bowl and chopsticks and began to talk:
"When I first led the construction team, I was just a bricklayer. I didn't believe it at first. My master happened to have taken on a public job at that time, which was the glass factory in your county. It was built by my master, me and a dozen brothers.
At that time, my master even took a bath and burned incense, and looked for an auspicious day for breaking ground. It happened that none of the seven days was suitable, but the pressure from above was strong, and my master knew it but did not dare to say anything, otherwise he would be dragged out and paraded through the streets.
At that time, if someone reported someone, they could get a bonus. But a greedy bastard reported my master. Not only was he paraded through the streets, but the construction work was not delayed for a single day. On the third day, something went wrong.”
Zhao Mei opened her mouth wide when she heard this. Glass factory, isn’t that where she is temporarily living?
