Chapter 375: Big Snake Eats People
"After eating, Old Lady Wang went back to sleep. When she woke up, she could see things, and her predictions were very accurate."
Village Chief Wang couldn't help but sigh: "With her here, our village will be prosperous hahahaha!"
Chen Wan asked, "I heard that Goddess Wang predicted the death of a person?"
Village Chief Wang nodded and said, "Yes, Wang Laoliu from our village and the hunter from the next village have all died. She even predicted the time accurately."
"Where is the place where Goddess Wang was going to be buried? Can you take us to see it?"
Village Chief Wang was still hesitant at first, but when he saw the hundred dollars that Shen Wan took out, he took them there without saying a word.
Wangjiazhuang has its own mountain, and on the mountain is their ancestral tomb.
Qi Chong noticed that some of the graves were empty, "Why are there still empty graves?"
Village Chief Wang explained with a smile: "There is a custom in our village that people over the age of 70 must build their own tomb."
Chen Wan disagreed: "If you build a tomb before the person dies, be careful that something else will move in."
Village Chief Wang looked at her in surprise and asked, "What kind of things can you attract?"
"By the way, that's Old Lady Wang's grave."
Shen Wan walked closer and saw an old-looking grave standing in the dim corner.
The information of Mrs. Wang’s children and grandchildren had already been engraved on the tombstone, and the date of death was newly engraved a month ago.
She took a closer look and saw that the grave mound was sunken. The length, width and height of the newly dug pit were just enough to hold the coffin.
Village Chief Wang said: "After Old Lady Wang came back to life, no one is taking care of this grave anymore."
Qi Chong noticed that Shen Wan had been staring at the grave, so he quickly made up an excuse, "The scenery over there is pretty good, shall we go over and take a look?"
Village Chief Wang waved his hand when he heard this: "What's so interesting about the wild mountains and wilderness? If you want to go there, be careful and don't step on the animal traps."
"Village chief, are you leaving? No, take us around again." Qi Chong deliberately said, "You are in a hurry to go back and make money."
Village chief Wang chuckled and ran down the mountain.
Qi Chong then said seriously: "Master Shen, what did you see?"
Shen Wan jumped into the coffin pit without hesitation and quickly dug away a layer of soil with his hands.
As the soil slid down, a dark hole as big as a bowl was revealed.
"Is this a rat hole?" Qi Chong squatted on it and looked.
Chen Wan stared at the dark cave entrance, turned on the light of his mobile phone and shone it inside, only to see some unusual marks on the cave wall.
Looking closely, they were the marks left by a snake crawling along the path.
"It's a snake, for sure. It looks like it has been eyeing Old Lady Wang for a long time, but..."
Qi Chong: "Just what?"
"Look at the traces here. They are fresh, which means this snake comes here often."
Shen Wan jumped out of the coffin pit and looked around at the other graves.
"I don't know how deep this hole is, or where it leads to. I suspect there are traces of it on other graves as well."
Qi Chong was surprised: "Other graves, what about graves with corpses?"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of snakes eating corpses?"
"Some snakes are carnivorous. When food is scarce, such as in winter, they will burrow into coffins to keep warm, and corpses are just the right food for them."
"There is such a big snake in the ancestral tomb of Wangjiazhuang. The bodies of their ancestors must have been eaten long ago."
"Snakes come down the mountain to eat meat. When the animals get tired of it, they'll have had enough. That's when..."
Qi Chong was horrified: "Then it will eat people! This snake is a bad snake!"
"There are so many people in Wangjiazhuang now. If it gets violent, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Chen Wan said bluntly: "Go down the mountain and find a hoe, and then call the village chief back."
Qi Chong nodded and quickly pulled Village Chief Wang back.
Village Chief Wang was dragged back by him, looking unhappy, "I already said I'm not going there to see the scenery, I still have to make money!"
"Village chief, I asked you to come here." Shen Wan pointed to the black hole in the coffin pit and said bluntly: "Old Lady Wang is possessed by a snake spirit. The real body of the snake must still be in the mountains."
Village Chief Wang was confused: "What snake spirit? Are you acting out the Legend of the White Snake here?"
Qi Chong patiently explained, "Old Lady Wang is not resurrected from the dead. She is possessed by a giant snake in the mountains. The giant snake cultivates by eating meat. It eats animals first, and then it eats humans!"
Village Chief Wang not only did not believe it, but also laughed and said, "What big snake? What man-eating snake? What kind of story are you two making up?"
"If you don't believe it, you can dig up other graves and see if the bodies are still there..."
Village Chief Wang was furious: "Dig up someone's ancestral grave? What are you talking about, little girl!"
"Digging up people's ancestral graves is something that requires great virtue!"
Chen Wan said calmly: "Then dig your family's grave. I happened to see that your ancestor's grave is nearby. You just need to dig it up and see if his body has been eaten by the snake."
Village Chief Wang was furious: "I treat you with respect because I see you are Captain Qi's friend. Don't be so arrogant! How can I dig up my own ancestral grave? If my ancestors blame me -"
Chen Wan was calmer. "I just calculated that your grandfather's father, your ancestor, has not yet been reincarnated. Do you want me to ask him to come up and talk to you?"
Village Chief Wang laughed angrily: "Do you think you are the witch Wang and can ask the gods for help?"
Shen Wan smiled faintly, threw a piece of talisman paper into the void, and recited the name of his ancestor.
"Soul, come back! Summon me!"
I saw the talisman paper burning into smoke in the void, and the smoke slowly rising up.
An old ghost figure slowly appeared in the smoke.
"Ancestor? Is it really the ancestor?" Village Chief Wang was stunned. Seeing that it was really the ancestor who loved him since childhood, he was so excited that tears came out.
Unexpectedly, the ancestor slapped him on the head.
"You unfilial offspring! If you can't even look after my body, what's the point of having you descendants!"
Village Chief Wang was beaten so hard that he cried out, covering his head and shouting, "Grandfather, Grandfather, please don't be angry. What happened?"
"My body was eaten by a monster. I can't even send you a dream! I'm so pissed!"
The ancestor was furious.
Village Chief Wang looked at Shen Wan in shock, "You, you are telling the truth."
Qi Chong laughed, "What else? Village chief, this is Master Shen. She is not a novelist, she is a very powerful master of metaphysics! Today we are here to help Wangjiazhuang. Otherwise, if we were two days later, all the people in your village would have been eaten by the giant snake."
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he was so shocked that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the old ancestor.
"I'm sorry, ancestor. I'm going to dig up your grave right now. Please forgive me!"
The ancestor waved his hand: "Dig quickly!"
Village chief Wang picked up a hoe and dug up the ancestor's grave himself.
