There was a heavy breathing sound from the hospital bed.
The patient closed his eyes tightly, was unconscious and dying.
This is a female patient.
The white quilt divided the female patient's body and covered her below the neck, leaving only the head above the neck exposed.
I looked at the patient's head and immediately turned pale with shock: "Isn't this the snake woman in that painting?"
When I was in the stairwell on the first floor of the Snake Building, I once saw a painting, which showed a female snake. The female snake was very old, with gray and sparse hair, and only two tusks left in her mouth.
Including the head, it is wrapped in snake scales, only a pair of narrow eyes are exposed. These eyes are open. When you look at her, you feel that she is also looking at you.
At this time, the female patient lying on the hospital bed, except that her eyes were tightly closed, her face was exactly the same as the snake woman in the painting.
"I don't know if she has a snake tail under her waist. If so, the female snake figure in the painting is the female patient." The area below the female patient's neck is covered by a white quilt, so I don't know if she has it.
There is no snake tail.
"This female patient is the 'her' in Li Yingshang's words. I have seen 'her' in person, but I still don't know who she is." I stared at the female patient for a long time, but I couldn't recognize her.
Find out who she is: "What is her role in this world of resentful spirits?"
Zhou Qitian originally looked at the female patient in shock, but when he saw that the female patient had her eyes closed tightly and was dying, a sinister look appeared on his face: "So what if you're not dead? You're not hanging by one breath? Now I'm here to save you!"
"
After saying that, Zhou Qitian forcefully opened the white quilt, and then, a snake tail spliced around his waist appeared in front of me.
That's right, this is a snake tail that is "spliced" around the waist.
Why do you say this? Because this snake's tail is not only skinny and shriveled, but has also begun to rot. It is only connected to the female patient's waist by some talismans, which looks out of place, just like the female patient originally did not have a snake's tail, but was spliced with a snake's tail by life.
The adhesions between the snake's tail and the female patient's waist would ooze pus and blood from time to time, which shocked me.
"The strong smell of corpses in the ward comes from the tail of this snake." Seeing this disgusting scene, I remembered the task prompt one: "Have you ever seen a spliced body? The spliced body is the most beautiful."
"I have seen spliced bodies now, but I have to say, the spliced bodies are really ugly." Seeing this dirty snake tail, I finally understood the meaning of the word spliced.
Real meaning.
"Wait, splicing? The little girl was going to be spliced back then, and the female patient in front of me has already been spliced. Could it be..." As I thought about it, a big wave came into my mind: "Could this female patient be the little girl back then?! Snake Man Li Yingshang
The 'she' in my mouth is this female patient, who was also the little girl back then!"
At this moment, the truth I believed in a second ago suddenly collapsed.
It turns out that I guessed wrong from the beginning, which led to all my subsequent guesses being wrong.
The little girl's splicing ceremony did not fail, but succeeded. She survived with great difficulty and lived with her illness for more than a hundred years. Now she is lying in a hospital bed.
"Since the little girl didn't die back then, who are the snake man Li Yingshang and the human Li Yingyang?"
"The male and female nurses should be the parents of the little girl, but the snake man Li Yingshang and the human Li Yingyang also call them parents. Why is this?"
"More importantly, who created this world of resentful spirits? The little girl was still alive at that time. It is impossible for a living person to become a resentful spirit, let alone create a world of resentful spirits."
All kinds of questions arise in my mind.
However, Zhou Qitian would not answer my questions. After he lifted the white quilt of the female patient, he overturned the hanging pillar on the right side of the hospital bed.
Bang!
The hanging post fell down with a sound, and the medicine spilled all over the floor.
Without the infusion of medical fluid, the female patient's breathing became rapid, as if she was about to suffocate and die.
"Kill her while she's sick!" Zhou Qitian gave an order, and all the snake tenants showed their jagged teeth and wanted to completely tear the female patient in front of them to pieces.
The male and female nurses and Li Yingshang on the side did not stop him and allowed the snake tenants to murder the female patient.
Just when they were about to succeed, the female patient's eyelids moved, and then, hiss, a hollow sound sounded, and the female patient's eyes opened completely!
The pupils in her eyes first flashed gray, then turned into endless darkness, and finally evolved into blood red and stopped changing.
It was all gray, the color of the world of resentful spirits when she was in a coma.
The endless darkness was when her condition was critical and she was about to die.
A patch of blood is a symbol of her complete awakening!
Looking at the pair of eyes that kept changing colors, I had four more pictures in my mind.
The first scene I have ever seen is the fantasy of the past on the Snake Tower.
A little girl was tied to a snake-shaped yoke. As the old man in official uniform gave the order, the little girl's legs were cut off. There were endless cries in the room. Then, a pair of snake men carrying a green snake tail came out of the crowd of snakes.
Walking out of the middle, this green snake tail is very beautiful, as dazzling as celadon.
This is the celadon snake tail.
The pair of snake men put the celadon snake tail together around the little girl's waist, and the blood from the waist immediately poured into the snake tail. Puff, puff, and with the irrigation of blood, the celadon snake tail squirmed as if it was reborn.
Seeing this, the old man in official uniform took out some black talismans. The black talismans were fluttering in the wind. Finally, they were attached to the joint between the snake's tail and the little girl's waist, completely pasting the snake's tail and the little girl into one.
Looking from a distance, the little girl looks like a newborn snake-man.
After doing all this, the celadon snake's tail stopped squirming, the little girl stopped crying, and she fainted.
Second screen.
In the dim night, the little girl lay dying on the bed. Her celadon snake tail began to rot, and the room was filled with a disgusting smell of corpse.
From the adhesion between the rotten snake's tail and her waist, some black pus and blood gushed out from time to time, and her wound became inflamed.
The parents beside the bed were extremely heartbroken. They knelt down and begged the official clan leader for help, but the official clan leader ignored him. They had to find some medicine and give the little girl an infusion.
With the help of the medicinal solution, the decay of the snake's tail began to slow down, the pain on the little girl's face also diminished, and she gradually fell asleep.
The third picture.
Funeral songs were played in the Snake House. The little girl died suddenly and her body lay quietly on the hospital bed.
In order to prevent the little girl from turning into a resentful spirit, the official clan leader decided to bury her underground and seal her body with the Snake Tower leyline.
An elevator to the underground was quickly built, and the little girl's body was taken underground together with her hospital bed.
The parents had a dispute with the official chief. They firmly believed that their child was not dead yet and should not be sent to the underground town. The official chief ignored them and blocked the entrance to the elevator.
The parents became resentful, resentful of the cruelty of the snake people, and resentful of themselves for failing to protect their children. They both cut off the snake tails at their waists, and blood spilled to the ground. The parents died of excessive blood loss.
After their death, they turned into nurse ghosts and have been guarding the little girl's body underground.
