Orochi Longevity

Chapter 4 Disappeared without a trace

The eerie and cold sentence was spit out word by word through the girl's mouth.

The farmer and the woman did not speak, and the house fell into a deathly silence for a while.

People's fear of snakes is engraved in their bones and blood, not to mention that snakes can speak through their most familiar daughter.

Frightening things are done by familiar people, making them even more frightened.

The two farmers didn't have time to react, and they didn't know how to react.

It was snowing heavily outside and the wind was blowing violently.

There is already a finger of thick snow hanging on the dead tree branch in front of the door.

The wind swept across the sky and snowflakes hit the window lattice layer by layer, and the window lattice paper suddenly made a sound like firecrackers.

This made the woman even more silent, not daring to speak out.

Snake eyes looked around the house, and it was quiet for a long time.

It is very unhappy.

So he looked at the farmer and scolded coldly:

"Say it!"

"Should you or shouldn't you?"

The farmer still didn't speak.

The woman was so anxious that her nose burst into tears, and she dragged her husband to mourn:

"As the head of the family, you should accept it."

"You don't have to think about yourself, you have to think about the child in my womb, but Wen Po said that I am pregnant with a baby this time."

"Could it be that you just have the heart to see your old Liu family's incense burnt like this? It doesn't matter if the two of us are dead, but after we go down, how can we have the face to meet our ancestors?"

go down?

Did she mean hell?

Is there such a place in the world?

The snake watched the woman silently, without saying a word.

It doesn't like the topic.

"Besides, Erya is still in its hands. The poor child has been born for twelve or three years, and he hasn't even had a good meal. He is about to go down to see the King of Hades... God, how can you bear to treat my Erya so cruelly?" ?”

The pregnant woman beat her chest and stomped her feet, crying and shouting.

Her voice was still low at first, but after crying, she simply raised her voice and ignored it.

Fortunately, the strong wind outside the house buried her voice completely, which did not attract the attention of the villagers.

Snake had never seen such a scene before, and was slightly taken aback.

Fortunately, before it could react, the farmer waved his hands in resignation:

"Okay, I should, can I still do it?"

He grabbed the bamboo hat, opened the door, and walked out against the wind and snow.

bang.

"I'll go find it!"

The cold wind poured into the house.

The woman's hair floated in the air, and was soon dyed with a few white ice crystals.

A snowflake rushed straight towards the snake, flying in circles.

In that short moment, everything seemed to freeze for a moment, and the snake could clearly see every tiny texture of the snowflake.

Then, the snowflakes hit the eyelids and quickly melted away.

The woman yelled worriedly to the back of the man facing the wind and snow:

"...Remember, don't talk about family affairs outside!"

"You are stupid. When people ask you why you are looking for those objects, you just grit your teeth and don't answer."

"Remember it!"

When the farmer's back could no longer be seen clearly, the woman pushed hard against the door and shut the wind and snow out of the house.

She retreated into the corner and said no more.

The snake didn't care about the woman's movements, it was still reminiscing about the scene it just saw.

After possessing a human body, it found that its various senses had undergone considerable changes.

In the past, most of the things it "saw" were cold and dark.

Only the prey is so fresh and powerful.

In particular, the beating hearts fascinate it.

But just now, the snowflake that made it fear and hate, was so beautiful that it touched its heart in an instant.

There is such a big difference between the world seen by human eyes and snake eyes...

But even so...

The snake still prefers to be a snake, but not a human being.

Human eyes are precious, but they are not as good as snake eyes, which can quickly lock prey and avoid risks.

The human body is even more cumbersome.

After the snake possessed the human body, it felt like an invisible shackle was added to the body, making it extremely difficult to move.

You know, before it was able to drive any joint on the body at will, and it could control its own body at will.

But now it finds that there are many places on its body that are not in control, as if it is imprisoned.

What makes the snake even more unacceptable is that the place where the human body meets the earth is only as small as the sole of the foot!

The feeling of being light and unsteady all the time is like being pinched seven inches.

It's too unsafe!

When it is a snake, its belly sticks to the ground, feeling the changes of the earth.

The warmth of the earth allows it to know the four seasons.

The shaking of the ground reminded it to avoid the enemy.

The earth itself is its cave, its home.

The sense of security that is closely attached to the earth is something that people will never be able to experience.

Because of this, snakes prefer to be snakes rather than humans.

It is eager to return to the snake body!

But right now, it can't.

The farmer left home on a snowy night, and he might not be able to return for a while.

The snake controlled the possessed body by itself, groping around the house.

Although after possessing a human body, its original body will enter a hibernation state, so there is no need to worry about cold intrusion.

But the snake's nature of fear of cold has not been eliminated.

It is looking for a warm place.

After a while, the snake entered the inner bed and manipulated the human body into the bed.

The body finally warmed up slowly.

The mind becomes calm and the body becomes soft.

Sleepiness ensues.

This is also a disadvantage brought about by the human body.

They are snakes, although they have to sleep for several days at a time after eating.

In winter, you can sleep for several months.

But at the same time, they also stay awake for a very long time.

Unlike human beings, they have to sleep every day.

The snake knew it could not rest at this moment, it had to wait, waiting for the farmer's return.

It can't let its guard down until all the dust settles.

Thoughts battle sleepiness, exhaustion sets in.

Eyelids are heavy, and the back of the head is slightly tight.

call……

can not sleep……

Maybe just for a moment, maybe for a long time.

Time seemed to be erased by some invisible and powerful existence. It just nodded its head, and when it woke up suddenly, it heard the sound of a cock crowing.

It was surprised to find that the whole night passed in an instant.

The sky shines through the window into the inner bed, and the snake hears a sound coming from the main room.

It was the farmer who returned.

"...It's also good luck, I actually found it..."

"Did someone ask?"

"have."

"how do you say?"

"Nothing."

"That's good... let's hang up this landscape painting and arrange the offerings on the incense altar..."

In the main room, the two farmers worked for a long time before they put all kinds of objects on the cabinet.

Directly in front of the two of them was an ink painting.

It is an ordinary landscape picture, with an empty thatched cottage halfway up the mountain.

After laying out the tribute, the farmer and his wife looked at each other, both of them looked very cautious.

The farmer took three incense sticks from the woman, gritted his teeth and knelt down on the ground with a plop:

"O Great Snake, Great Snake, I set up the altar according to your instructions, and lit the incense sticks..."

"I just ask you, old man, for the sake of my hard work, to spare my daughter and my family!"

Three incense sticks are inserted into the incense burner.

Curly blue smoke comes out, hovering and rising in front of the landscape painting.

For a long time, nothing strange happened in the house.

The farmer and his wife looked around and swallowed.

What is the situation now, is it done or not?

Squeak...

Just when the two were hesitating whether to rush into the back room and ask the Snake Daxian himself for his opinion, the door of the back room suddenly opened.

The young woman staggered out of the house.

It's their daughter, Arya.

The girl rubbed her aching head and looked at her parents:

"...Father, mother, what's wrong with me?"

The farmer glanced at his daughter vigilantly, and soon showed joy.

Because he discovered that the black snake wrapped around the girl's neck before had disappeared without a trace.
