The drunkard first glanced at the butcher with a straight face, then at me, and said, "Little guy, do you really want to keep this little snake cub?"
"He is not a snake cub, his mother is a snake spirit, and his father is a human being!" I said.
The drunkard waved his hand: "That's what I say, but there's no guarantee that this little brat will bite you back one day."
What the drunkard said is not unreasonable, but now, I have made up my mind!
I have already killed his mother and he has become an orphan. If I kill him again, I think my conscience will be troubled for the rest of my life...
I glanced at the butcher and found that his face didn't look very good.
Obviously, he didn't agree with my approach of taking in the little boy!
"The most taboo thing for a strong man is the kindness of women. If you take in this little snake cub, you will definitely suffer in the future!" the butcher said bluntly.
I smiled bitterly, "That's my fate, I still want to take him in. I hope that the butcher and the drunkard will be able to do it!"
This is all I have said. No matter how unhappy the butcher is, he can't say more.
Soon, the drunkard took out the gourd from his belt, then dug around on his body, and gave me a piece of leather paper.
"Here, take one sip a week and you can hide the snake scales and snake body on his body." The drunkard said to me.
My heart moved, and I quickly said thank you to the drunkard.
I took the piece of paper and looked at it, and found that it contained a recipe for brewing wine, and the brewing materials recorded on it were not complicated at all.
The butcher said nothing more and left quietly.
The drunkard stayed and helped me erase the memory of the little boy...
After a while, the drunkard clapped his hands and said, "That's enough. The memory before this has been erased. As long as you drink this wine on time, most people won't be able to see his true identity."
"Thank you, senior drunkard." I thanked the drunkard respectfully.
The drunkard rolled his eyes and said, "Boy, don't you call me an old drunkard?"
I touched my nose and smiled awkwardly.
Soon, the drunkard said goodbye and left, and Deng Youde and I were left in the room.
Deng Youde's mind was obviously not on the little boy. He winked at me and said: "Ling Feng, you promised me before that you would give me 100,000 yuan for one use of the pigskin mask. Look, when will you give me the money?"
I just happen to be a little short of money recently..."
Before Deng Youde finished speaking, I had already slapped him in the face.
…………
Early the next morning, while I was sleeping heavily, I heard a cheerful child's voice.
I opened my eyes and looked around, and found that outside the open door, a little boy with an immature face was playing with a woman.
I walked out and saw that this little boy was a little snake cub. After I fed him a sip of wine last night, the snake scales and snake body on his body had disappeared. Now when I looked at him again, he was no different from a normal child.
At this time, the little boy was playing with Sanniang Tian outside the house. Looking at Sanniang Tian, she also had a smile on her face. The whole picture looked as harmonious as possible.
The little boy was only about three or four years old. His little body was a little wobbly when he ran. When I saw that he was about to fall, I quickly reached out my hand to catch him.
The little boy raised his head and stared at me with his dark eyes for a long time.
At this time, Tian Sanniang also saw me, and she taught the little boy to say: "Call uncle..."
I couldn't laugh or cry. This Tian Sanniang deliberately taught the little boy while he was learning to speak.
The little boy was a little timid, but he still mustered up the courage to call me.
It's just that he, who was already babbling, suddenly called uncle with a pronunciation similar to "dad", which caught me off guard.
Tian Sanniang on the side had already bent over with laughter.
I touched my nose and hugged the little boy on my shoulders. The little boy couldn't help but laugh happily.
"What's your name?" I asked the little boy softly.
The little boy shook his head. He didn't know whether he didn't understand what I said or because he didn't have a name.
"Then let me give you a name, okay?"
The little boy nodded.
I pondered for a moment, thinking about the little boy's life experience, and then said to him: "From now on, please call me Xiao She."
"The name sounds nice, let's call it Xiaoshe." Tian Sanniang also said to the little boy with a smile.
The little boy blinked his dark eyes and muttered the name Xiaoshe...
Although Xiaoshe is only three or four years old, her appetite is obviously better than that of ordinary children.
Children in other families have to be coaxed by adults to eat, but this is different in Xiaoshe. This little guy sat down at the butcher’s dinner table. As a result, all of us adults were full, and this little guy was still scratching his head.
Sticking to the rice bowl, he held the rice spoon with one hand and put the rice into his mouth one by one. His cute look not only made Tian Sanniang kiss him on the face several times, but also the butcher on the side had eyes on him.
A little more loving eyes.
I know that the butcher's heart is not evil, but years of killing have made him accustomed to being cold.
Xiaoshe's current coquettishness suddenly made him less wary.
After dinner, I took the hut for a walk around the village. Since last night, the villagers now have a little more kindness when they see me.
It's just that the villagers don't know Xiaoshe's true life experience, so many villagers think that Xiaoshe is my son, but they never thought that I am less than nineteen years old this year, and I have already become pregnant without even giving away my virginity.
Being a father...
In this way, Xiaoshe slowly began to rely on me. In just two days, Xiaoshe could call her "daddy" more and more fluently, but I, who loves being a father, didn't know how to call him "dad" like this.
If you go down there, you still can't find my wife.
As for the little snake's mother, the butcher personally went to find a place to bury her body. I also went to the place where little Zhang Rui was buried, personally burned some paper money for them, and told them that I
The murderer has been found and they have taken revenge. I hope they can rest in peace in heaven...
On the third day after that, just when I was thinking that it was almost time to go back, that night, a drunkard came to my house in a hurry.
"Little guy!"
As soon as the drunkard came in, I quickly looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
The drunkard glanced at the sleeping hut, then lowered his voice and said to me: "Do you still remember the well we went to before?"
"That well with underground space?"
"Not bad!" The drunkard nodded.
My mind moved, and the scene I saw under the well in order to chase the female ghost quickly emerged in my mind.
At that time, the drunkard told me to let the matter go for a while. Now that a few days have passed and I was about to forget about it, the drunkard came to my door unexpectedly.
I asked: "What happened to the well?"
"I just went to check it out with the butcher, and the space under the well is sealed!" the drunkard said.
"Isn't it?" I raised my eyebrows.
The drunkard continued: "Besides, there is something extra under that well!"
I quickly asked what it was.
The drunkard paused and said with a strange expression on his old face: "Under that well, a small willow tree grew."
"Little willow tree?"
"Yes, it is a willow tree that has just sprouted out of the soil. Its branches and leaves have just grown out. But the butcher and I can't figure out how a willow tree can grow under a well!"
Seeing the drunkard's somewhat confused look, my heart suddenly tightened!
When I heard the willow tree, I unconsciously thought of the old willow tree.
I pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior Drunkard, can you take me over to see that well again?"
"Can!"
When I heard the drunkard say yes, I quickly turned around and went back to cover the small house with a quilt, and then followed the drunkard to the west of the village.
It was already late at night, and under the full moon, the drunkard, the butcher, and I once again came to the well in the west of the village.
I took a flashlight and looked down into the well, and I saw a small willow tree only about ten centimeters long growing under the dark well.
I remember that the last time the drunkard and I went down, we didn’t see any willow trees growing under the well. But now, not only has a small willow tree grown out of the well, but the underground space underneath has also been sealed off.
I frowned, but just when I was thinking about whether to go down again, a drunkard's surprised voice suddenly came from beside me.
"Little guy, look under the well!"
After the drunkard finished speaking, I quickly shined the flashlight!
Under the light of the flashlight, I could clearly see streams of blood flowing out from the bottom of the well.
The blood slowly condensed into a pool, and the small willow tree covered in blood suddenly swayed its branches gently, and then grew crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye...
