There were several trees between where Brother Yu and I were lying. It was midnight, so if we didn't stand up on our own initiative, we probably wouldn't have been able to find it.
The bronze pot on the fire was boiling, and Tang Gui's wife looked excited.
She stirred it twice with a stick, found a wooden board as a lid, and covered it.
After closing the lid, Tang Gui's wife squatted aside, looking eagerly at the bronze pot, like a child coming home from school, anxiously waiting for the instant noodles in the pot to boil.
The scene in front of me is not only terrifying, but also terrifying, with a hint of comedy.
Three slender young girls, in their early twenties, with faces covered with white ash, wearing ancient minority tribal clothing, their eyes were frightened, their hands pinched their waists, they raised and kicked their legs at the same time, and at the same time they retracted their legs and turned their heads.
Dancing around the fire.
Looking at them, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the self-injury snake's mouth.
"puff!"
The flames suddenly shot up to more than one meter high.
He must have thrown something into the fire.
"Ha ha!"
He laughed suddenly, looked up at the sky above Guizailing and shouted loudly: "I believe you exist! I can feel your existence!"
"I've been looking! I've been looking!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became. At the end of the sentence, he jumped on the spot with excitement like a child.
"Hey...Yunfeng."
"What's wrong, Brother Yu?" I asked in a low voice.
Brother Yu whispered: "Where's your gun? Kill him quickly."
"No, I didn't bring it with me. I just have one bullet in my bag."
Brother Yu whispered again: "Wait a minute, this pervert will chop off the heads of those three girls, and then throw them into a pot to cook. After all, I used to be a monk, how could I not save them?"
"How do you know you would chop off your head and throw it into a pot to boil?"
"I guessed it." Brother Yu said.
"Look, look."
Only a scream was heard not far away.
While the three girls were still being forced to dance, Tang Gui's wife took out a piece of firewood from the fire and stabbed them with it to scare them.
"Yunfeng, what do you think of this self-harming snake than a dragon monkey?"
"I don't know about this. I haven't seen him take action, but..." Recalling everything before, I speculated in a low voice: "He may not rely on force, but like the leader, he relies on his brain."
"Brother Yu, what are you doing?"
Brother Yu turned around and tied his trouser legs tightly with an elastic band, and then whispered: "I'll tie my trouser legs tight so the snake can't get into my crotch. You little bastard, I'll go get him."
Brother Yu was about to rush out when I suddenly heard a series of dog barks.
"Woof woof woof!"
A big yellow dog with shiny yellow hair ran in from the entrance with colored steel tiles, barking loudly as he ran.
"coming!"
The self-inflicted snake looked back sharply.
"Who's coming?"
I also turned my head and looked around.
Except for the big yellow dog running over, it was dark in the distance and no one could be seen.
Brother Yu's ears twitched and he said, "No, there are footsteps."
Twenty meters in front of the self-injuring snake, the big yellow dog squatted down, eating and panting.
A minute or two passed.
I saw a flash of purple light at the entrance, or should I say blue light? Anyway, it was not the light of a normal flashlight.
This purple light gradually came closer, and it turned out to be a short man holding a purple light lamp in his hand. This kind of purple light is also called a scorpion lamp. It is common in the north but rare in the south.
It is used by people to catch scorpions. At night, if you lift the stone and shine it with a purple light, the scorpions will look white, and the scorpions will not run away after being shined on them.
The man holding the scorpion lamp wears a cheap plastic Monkey King mask on his face, so his face cannot be seen.
He just walked forward step by step with the lantern, and finally stood side by side with the big yellow dog.
Seeing the visitor, the three girls stopped dancing.
Tang Gui's wife lay on the ground and worshiped.
The self-injuring snake bent down and said respectfully: "You are here, where are the things?"
The man wearing the mask had a hoarse voice and said, "Xiao Qin, the drum has been damaged and lost a long time ago. When you were 20 or 70 years old, I gave the Five Ugly to you, not to let you play like this."
The self-injured snake raised its head, looked at this man and said seriously: "The so-called Five Ugly People of Shehuo is just a title, a code name, and a carrier. We don't have it anymore. We can still build it at any time, but please believe me."
"I was frightened and suffered in my early years. I was bitten by a snake and beaten with a whip. I remember being tortured in the 749 Snake House. Those thousands of snakes told me that the god Neng Baba must exist."
"The snake-shaped inscriptions on the bronzes are real, and the cultural relics unearthed in Pit No. 7 of Yin Ruins in Anyang are ironclad proof, and..."
At this point, Self-Injury Snake paused and said excitedly: "If it didn't exist, those Taoist priests in the previous dynasty wouldn't have continued, because those Taoist priests were afraid, what do you think?"
"Why...."
The man wearing the plastic mask sighed and said hoarsely: "Xiao Qin, businessmen believe in ghosts and sacrifices to gods, but this is the 21st century, where are there ghosts? Where are there gods?"
After hearing this, the self-injuring snake said in surprise: "I thought you would believe me and understand me. As long as God Nengba is released, I can kill whoever I want in this world. Those coal sabers of the Changchun Society in the early years, Xie Qirong
, Ma Su, even if they come together, they will still die."
"But since you don't believe me, why do you want to help me?"
The self-harming snake pointed at the big yellow dog squatting on the ground and sticking out its tongue, with a puzzled look on its face.
The man with the plastic mask said: "Do you listen to the truth?"
"It was my son who gave me a dream. He said that he must let me help you once. He will help you even if he dies."
"puff!"
The self-injuring snake suddenly laughed, and even mucus came out of its nose.
He hurriedly wiped his nose and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your son, your son is a fucking waste. If I hadn't given him the medicine monkey, he would still be working as a security guard in the security company."
"Don't blame me. Your son died voluntarily because I found someone stronger than him, someone more suitable for Medicine Monkey than him. Although that person is a little stupid, he is extremely talented and can compete with Medicine Monkey.
Natural communication, just like the blind snake and I, he is countless times stronger than your good-for-nothing son."
Upon hearing this, the big yellow dog, which had been squatting quietly on the ground, roared low in its throat, its eyes glowed green, and it bared its teeth.
The masked man patted the dog's head, and the big yellow dog gradually became quiet.
"call..."
The masked man took a deep breath and said, "Go get it, Gu. It's at the entrance of Guizailing."
"I knew you brought it, but you didn't stay to see?"
The masked man shook his head, turned around and left without saying a word.
The big yellow dog followed closely behind, and the figures of one man and one dog looked a little lonely.
"Fish...Brother Yu..."
"What's wrong?"
I swallowed and said, "Do I know who this masked person is?"
"who is it?"
Taking a deep breath, I said, "It's ranger Lao Hu."
"Lao Hu?"
"Are you sure? How can you tell? This man is wearing a mask, and his voice is different from Lao Hu's."
Looking at the direction the person was leaving, the purple light became increasingly fainter.
I recalled: "Although this man changed his clothes, he did not change his shoes. I remember that when we first met, Lao Hu was wearing flat cloth shoes with a hole in the back of the upper. This masked man also had a hole in the back of the upper.
A hole."
I gestured and said, "It's about as big as a fingernail."
"Can you see this?"
I nodded and whispered, "Yes, that's right, I saw it clearly."
