Chapter 134: Looking for clues, the snake cave is in distress, showing affection
When Qin Shaobai asked, the second sister-in-law's face turned pale and she couldn't help but look at Xiaolan.
"Really? Maybe they knew something happened to Dad Xin, so they hid at home and didn't dare to come out."
Xiaolan answered calmly, then turned around and said to her second sister-in-law: "Second sister-in-law, there has been a murder in this village, and the children should hide for a while. I think you should follow each household now."
Said, don't let the children come out to wander around."
The second sister-in-law said yes and hurriedly went out to do errands.
Qin Shaobai still wanted to go out, but was pulled back by Xiaolan.
"Brother Qin, how about we take a look at the clues in this room? I always feel that no one would kill someone just because of a quarrel, unless he wants to get something."
"Yes, I think so too. That Brother Zhao doesn't look like a treacherous person."
As they spoke, the two entered the house.
Unexpectedly, Xin Bai's house was actually very clean.
It's just that the big box in the corner of the room is open.
There is a long piece of silk cloth inside. The cloth is golden yellow and looks to be of very good quality.
As you can imagine, the cloth-wrapped items were also particularly expensive.
Xiaolan yelled something bad in her heart, but she saw Qin Shaobai running over in big strides.
He held up the silk cloth, thoughtfully, but quickly put it back in its place.
Right here, a chichi sound suddenly came from the house.
The two of them turned around and saw a dozen snakes crawling out from under Xin Bai's bed, moving towards them little by little.
Xiaolan didn't even think about it, the dagger in her hand was already out, and in just a moment, she killed all the snakes.
Looking back, he saw Qin Shaobai looking at him in surprise.
Suddenly I remembered that she once said that she was most afraid of snakes.
She could only smile awkwardly: "I just examined Xiao Qing and Xiao Huang, and he actually cured my fear of snakes."
Qin Shaobai laughed a few times: "That's fine, next time, you won't be so scared that you crawl into my arms."
Xiaolan's face instantly turned red: "Brother Qin, everyone is afraid of something."
Qin Shaobai hissed and signaled Xiaolan to stop talking.
He quietly walked to the pile of dead snakes, found a stick and moved the snakes away, and couldn't help but take a breath.
A hole that could allow one person to crawl in and out appeared in front of them.
"Brother Qin." Xiaolan didn't expect that there would be a tunnel in Xin Bai's house, so she didn't know what to say.
"You stay here while I get in and take a look. Maybe I can get something unexpected."
"No, Brother Qin, it's too dangerous inside, and you don't have any martial arts skills, so I'd better go in."
Qin Shaobai thought for a while and felt that Xiaolan was right, so he simply gave way.
"Take this fire bag with you and see if you can light a torch inside. If you feel uncomfortable, get back in right away. Do you understand?"
Xiaolan got into the cave nimbly and was still reporting the situation in the cave to Qin Shaobai at first.
It is said that this cave is actually a tunnel. The tunnel is quite solid and there are even torches on both sides.
"Then light the torch quickly and see what's inside?"
Qin Shaobai shouted outside the cave.
However, Xiaolan didn't respond at all.
Qin Shaobai shouted again, but there was still no response.
Qin Shaobai suddenly became anxious.
He felt empty in his heart, as if he was about to lose something important.
Don't care about anything, just drill into the hole.
As soon as I was halfway inside, I was lightly tapped on the shoulder.
Looking up, I saw Xiaolan's charming face under the firelight.
Qin Shaobai suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the joy was even a bit greater than when he saw Jin Zhaoning returning that day.
"Brother Qin, you need to lose weight. Look, you can't even crawl out of a hole."
Xiaolan's joke made Qin Shaobai relax immediately, and he hugged Xiaolan who was squatting down: "You still have the nerve to tell me, why didn't you reply after I called you outside for a long time? Do you know,
How anxious I am."
Xiaolan smiled sweetly: "Brother Qin, if I can't beat that person, you must not show off. You have to avoid him early, you know?"
Qin Shaobai snorted and gave Xiaolan a fierce look: "What are you talking about? If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you beat him up."
Xiaolan's eye circles turned red, and Qin Shaobai realized that what he said was really inappropriate to say to Xiaolan, so he smiled awkwardly: "Hurry up and push me out, my body is going to be stiff.
I don’t know how this Xin Bai got in, he’s obviously bigger than me.”
Xiaolan gently pulled Qin Shaobai in and said: "This hole is indeed very strange. I walked for a long time and only saw some rat remains, but the hole was filled with a bloody smell, as if this place
There have been countless killings.”
When the word "kill" was mentioned, Xiaolan's body trembled visibly.
With this shake, Qin Shaobai was shaken out from the entrance of the cave.
Not bothering to pat the dirt off his body, Qin Shaobai took the torch handed over by Xiaolan, naturally held Xiaolan's hand with his other hand, and walked forward.
Neither of them spoke anymore, they just walked forward cautiously.
The further you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
Qin Shaobai saw Xiaolan covering her nose with her hands and knew that she was not used to such a smell.
After thinking about it, he actually tore off a strand of his clothes, then quickly made something like a mask and hung it on Xiaolan's face.
"Brother Qin, this is..."
"We call it a mask there, it can cover those smells very well."
Xiaolan put on the mask, and she really felt that the smell was much lighter.
"Brother Qin, your idea is really unique. When I get back, I will make masks like this and send them to Brother Xiao and others so that they can wear them when they encounter unpleasant smells."
Qin Shaobai felt a little elated when he was praised by such a soft voice.
He was about to say that this mask is actually quite particular, what kind of cloth should be used and what kind of sewing should be done, when he heard a squeaking sound from in front of him.
Putting the torch forward, the two couldn't help but take a few steps back.
There are countless snakes entangled there, making it a complete snake cave.
It was probably the heat of the torch that woke them up. They twisted their bodies one by one, stretched out their long arms, and made a soul-breaking chirping sound.
Xiaolan already held several daggers in her hands.
Qin Shaobai quickly stopped her.
The dozens of snakes just now could be dealt with by force, but now there are at least seventy or eighty snakes here. No matter how fast Xiaolan's dagger is, there is no way to kill them.
He remembered what his mother said, snakes are most afraid of realgar.
But where can he find realgar now?
He thought again, in a word, if you don't move, the snake will not take the initiative to attack you.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaobai stabilized his emotions and slowly stepped back.
"Brother Qin." Xiaolan called softly.
Qin Shaobai could feel the tremor in Xiaolan's voice.
In this situation, let alone Xiaolan, a girl, even Li Xiaolin would definitely be panicked if Bi Zai came.
However, the most important thing now is to keep a peaceful mind, otherwise it will be easy for the snake to think that the two of them are dangerous.
"Xiaolan, don't be afraid, come on, come on, I'll help you back up slowly."
Qin Shaobai gently pulled Xiaolan, but who knew that with this pull, he inadvertently touched Xiaolan's towering mountain, and Xiaolan's face suddenly turned red.
The group of snakes must have felt Xiaolan's violent heartbeat, and they all became restless.
The snakes surrounding the outside automatically spread out in all directions, exposing the snake in the center.
Qin Shaobai could see clearly that the snake in the middle was not the cobras around it, but a huge python.
The head was almost as tall as Xiaolan's entire body, and when the mouth opened, it was as big as a table.
Xiaolan tightened Qin Shaobai's clothes, her palms were sweating, and the sweat on her face was dripping.
Qin Shaobai knew that now was definitely not the time to run away with Xiaolan. As soon as they ran away, they would immediately be surrounded by these snakes and soon become the food of this big python.
He has discovered that there is a faint light behind the snake cave, which means that there may be the exit of the tunnel.
As long as they can cross the snake cave quietly, they can reach the exit.
Fortunately, when they walked toward the little snakes, they didn't seem to want to attack them. They stayed there quietly and motionless.
Ahead is the huge python.
Qin Shaobai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and held Xiaolan's hand tightly.
He had already made a decision. Once the python attacked them, he would push Xiaolan out of the snake cave first, and then he would find a way to deal with the python.
One step, one step, another step, each step, the two of them held their breath, hoping that the python would act like those little snakes and pretend they didn't exist.
The python blew out a breath, and the air was immediately filled with a fishy smell.
Although Xiaolan was wearing a mask, she still felt sick from the smoke.
She covered her mouth and moved forward bit by bit with Qin Shaobai in pain.
She regretted it very much now. Why didn't she listen to her mother Duan Zhilan's advice and put her mother's strange medicines and pills on her body? Maybe one of them could control the snake.
The steps became lighter and lighter, so soft that you could hear the sweat dripping from their faces onto the ground.
Qin Shaobai pulled Xiaolan closer, and the two of them almost became one, walking forward slowly.
Suddenly, Qin Shaobai's eyes widened.
He saw that the giant python that he had never seen before moved its body, and then an empty channel appeared in front of Qin Shaobai.
Without thinking about the reason, Qin Shaobai pulled Xiaolan forward and rushed towards the bright light.
There were only two splashes, and the two of them fell straight into a deep pool without even making a sound.
How cool!
This was Qin Shaobai's first feeling after his body came into contact with the pool of water.
