Twenty years ago, the Xiangting Snake House was very famous in Nanping. I went down the mountain and took a taxi and arrived at the place around 12 o'clock at night.
There was a light bulb on at the door of the snake house. Under the night, the three-story building looked antique and unchanged.
"Is anyone home?"
I stepped forward and knocked gently.
"It's so late, who are you looking for?"
After waiting for five or six minutes, a tough-looking black boy wearing clothes opened the door for me.
"Haha, little brother, your name is Changchong? Right." I laughed.
"Who are you?"
"It seems you don't remember me. It doesn't matter. I came to see the snake girl. She came here in the afternoon to ask for some medicinal materials. As a result, no one believes her yet."
"Oh, so that's it. We're looking for the snake girl. She's going to the mountain with my grandfather. Come in and sit down. It's cold outside."
After entering, I felt that the room was extremely hot, just like summer.
Changchong politely poured me a cup of tea. At this time, he sat down and said to me, "That medicine is deep in the mountains, and it can only be caught at night. They should be back soon."
"What kind of medicine is so mysterious? A living thing?" I asked.
Chang Chong nodded, "It's an edible bug. It's very rare. It's called the Phnom Penh Ground Beetle Bug. This kind of bug can only be caught at night."
He looked at me and said, "We all say here that a 10-year-old Phnom Penh beetle is as effective as a 50-year-old wild ginseng. Brother, you are a snake girlfriend, so you should know, right? The snake girl is
Who are you asking for medicine for? Which 80-year-old man?"
"I'm not sure about this," I said carelessly.
"Changchong! Who are you talking to so late!"
I turned around and saw a young woman with a ponytail coming down the stairs.
When she saw me, she screamed "Ah"! She immediately covered her face and ran upstairs.
The black boy suddenly said helplessly, "Sister, grandpa has said this to you several times, please pay attention to your image! You must do it at home. Get dressed! Get dressed! What if we have guests?"
"I'm sorry for making you laugh. My sister is like this. She is used to being careless."
I smiled and said it was okay, I was at home, that was understandable.
I looked at my phone and saw that it was already one o'clock at night.
Soon, the girl got dressed and came down again. I remember her name was Xiao Changying. The girl wanted to scare me with a snake.
"It's you!"
"I still remember you! What's your name? What's your name?"
"My name is Xiang Feng, hello Miss Xiao."
"Yes! Your name is Xiang Feng! Aren't you from the north? Why are you here in Nanping again?"
"I'm here to do some personal business. I haven't seen you for a long time. Miss Xiao, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Her face turned red and she said there was no such thing.
We are both young people, there is no generation gap, we can chat together, and we get to know each other a lot after a while. I felt it was very hot here, so I took off my coat and threw it on the chair.
But at this moment, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and accidentally saw an iron rod more than one meter high standing in the corner of the wall.
I was stunned at this moment.
I am so familiar with this thing that I will recognize it even if it turns into ashes!
Isn’t this the successor to the Luoyang Shovel? Why is there a Luoyang Shovel in Snake House!
Moreover, this kind of connecting pole has one end slightly thicker and one end slightly thinner, and there are two pieces of cloth wrapped around the handshake area. This is obviously what the northerners use, and my shovel is also in this style!
I calmly took a sip of tea and asked casually, "What is that pole of yours used for?"
"That one you're talking about belongs to grandpa."
"Shut up!" Xiao
Chang Ying immediately scolded "Chang Chong! Why do you dare to say anything nonsense!"
The long insect glanced at me secretly and immediately closed his mouth.
No, there's something weird
I glanced at the two sisters and thought, "Is their grandfather, the famous Xiao Gong and Snake King Xiao Zhengxing, secretly a tomb robber? Or is he an authentic northern-style tomb robber?"
This is Fujian, the territory of those water ghosts from the southern faction. If the Snake King is our tomb robber from the northern faction, what a damn coincidence.
Suddenly, a rapid shouting came from outside the snake house.
"Chang Chong! Chang Ying! Come out quickly!"
"Grandpa is back!" The two sisters immediately ran out the door, and I followed closely.
When he came out, he saw a white-haired Xiao Zhengxing sweating profusely and saying anxiously. The person he was carrying on his back was none other than Snake Girl!
"What's wrong with this person?" This scene scared me, so I ran over and asked.
There was blood around the corners of Snake Girl's mouth and nose! She had fallen into a coma!
"Speak! How could a person be like this? Did he fall?"
Xiao Zhengxing put the person down and gasped, "She didn't fall, she is sick! She may be sick!"
I said anxiously, "I'll drive! Then take him to the hospital quickly!"
The snake girl was holding a black plastic bag tightly in her hand. No matter how hard I tried to break it, I couldn't break it off! I heard from the old man that what she was holding in her hand was a few gold-rimmed ground beetles that she had only managed to catch after a lot of hard work.
I quickly drove to the hospital and rushed into the emergency building with the snake girl on my back, whose face was covered in blood.
"Doctor! Where is the doctor! Help! Help!"
A very young man in a white coat came over.
"I'm the doctor on duty, don't worry! Tell me clearly, what's wrong with this person?"
"Hepatitis! She may have an attack of liverworm!" The young doctor was stunned for two seconds and asked curiously, "Hepatitis? This girl has liverworm? How long has it been? Is it early stage or late stage?"
"Late!" I said.
The doctor was immediately shocked. He quickly called the nurse to prepare for rescue. The nurse came and immediately carried the person to a stretcher.
The female nurse said anxiously, "Doctor Wang! The patient has something in his hand! I can't take it off!"
The male doctor said, "Use some strength! Spread your hands!"
Another nurse was immediately added, and the two nurses worked hard together to break open the snake girl's right hand.
"Brother Xiang Xiang"
"I'm here! I'm here! Let go! Let go slowly!"
She slowly loosened her hand, and immediately the black plastic bag she was holding tightly fell to the ground.
"ah!"
"What is this!"
The two female nurses screamed in fright, and saw five or six dark-skinned beetles crawling out of the bag.
There was blood around the snake girl's nose, her eyes were closed tightly, and her consciousness seemed to be in a fuzzy state.
She murmured to herself, "Brother Xiang, I'm so scared. I might die and I still want to make soup for you."
I held her hand tightly, "No, you will get better. You will definitely get better. I will take you to Miao Village."
Suddenly, blood began to flow from her nose again. At this moment, the snake girl suddenly opened her eyes and struggled desperately! Two nurses held her down tightly.
The snake woman's eyes were horrified. She looked towards the emergency door and shouted desperately, "There are two people! They are black and white! They are going to take me away!"
Doctors, nurses, and a large group of people rushed into the emergency room pushing a stretcher.
I was so flustered and confused that I couldn't help but clenched my fists.
I walked over and stood at the door of the hospital, but there was no one in front of me.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Get the hell out of here, she doesn't deserve to die today!"
