Chapter 216
Chapter 216
The sun was a hot and scalding thing, and it gradually dried up the wet mud on the stove.
The child who was hiding from the sun to cool off came back and took a look, then decisively put the firecrackers into the stove hole, held up a simple torch, and sat in the pot.
It’s okay, it didn’t collapse this time.
So!
Today is the day she flies into the sky!
The spiritual energy protects the body, and the torches light the cannons.
Three! Two! One! Bang!
Just as the child expected, the firecrackers exploded, the stove exploded, and the pot and she flew into the air.
But it’s so strange, why did the pot become separated from her?
She was spun up into the sky, but fell down, drawing a small arc in the air. Like the bricks used to build the stove, she was thrown into the stream, splashing a large amount of water like frying fish.
The water rushed in unexpectedly and poured into my mouth and nose.
The child was choked and struggled in fear, subconsciously trying to support his body with his hands.
Fortunately, the water was not deep and she was tall, otherwise she would have drowned.
The child was still unaware of the fact that he had saved his life. He wiped the water off his face, spat out the sand in his mouth, and muttered, "Hey, it's quite cool."
The little boy said in a very unpleasant tone: "The snake thinks so too."
What snake?
The child was puzzled for a moment, and immediately remembered the snake she had thrown into the water. She also remembered that just now, when her hand was supporting the bottom of the stream, she seemed to have pressed something slippery and strange.
The water was muddy and it was difficult to see clearly, so the child wrapped his hands with spiritual energy, groped around for a few times, and pulled out a familiar snake from the mud.
"It looks a little dead."
The child fiddled with the snake several times, but it was still soft.
"What happened? Snakes can swim, right? How did it drown? I just saw it swimming."
When the child threw it into the water, it swam very well and disappeared in a few strokes, and somehow it came back again.
"It's fun to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth," the child sneered. "Did it drown? Didn't you kill it by smashing it to pieces?"
"It wasn't flattened, so how could it have been crushed to death?" The child refused to accept the sudden death of a snake. "Maybe it got stuck in the mud and drowned."
It felt quite deep just now.
The child said: "It's not a loach, why would it burrow into the mud for no reason? You clearly pushed it down just now."
"How could it be? Why don't I remember?" The child's face was obviously confused.
I'm not pretending.
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it.
The flooded part was very chaotic, and she did bump into a few rocks, but she finally pressed on them and supported herself with them to sit up.
Could it really be her who pressed it in?
Child: "It can't be that it got in by itself, right? What's it trying to do?"
She is right.
Child: "What should we do? Is there any hope?"
The child held his chin, with no other options. "How about you pinch it?"
"Why are you pinching it at the seven-inch mark? Are you afraid it won't die?"
Children don't know how to save snakes, but this doesn't sound right either.
The child was still confident: "I want you to pinch its philtrum, it must be there."
If a person faints, you have to pinch the Ren Zhong point. If a snake faints, who knows where to pinch.
The only one they can name is Qicun.
The child even started to make sarcastic remarks: "Lian Li told you to read more books a long time ago, and even gave you a book on treating beasts. Who told you not to read? What's the point of getting anxious now?"
The kid was a little annoyed after his past was exposed: "What's the point of you saying that nonsense now? Get up, you still have to look at me at this time!"
She stood up angrily, pinched the snake's mouth open to take a look, and then rinsed the snake's muddy nose.
Then he grabbed the snake's tail, shook it up and down, swayed it left and right, and spun it wildly.
Child: ...
"Whipping the corpse is too vicious."
"What do you know? I'm saving it!"
The child even put the snake on his shoulder, rushed to the shore like an arrow, and ran with it on his shoulder.
Round and round, she was exhausted.
When she was a child, she heard that someone in a certain village drowned and was saved in this way.
Clean your mouth and nose, then carry it on your shoulders and run, and spit out the water in your stomach.
But she thought that snakes were different from humans, and it was hard to tell where the stomach of this snake was, so she grabbed its tail and poured water on it. When she was afraid that it wouldn't work, she carried it and ran away.
In times like this, just treat the dead snake as a living one, just in case it is useful.
No matter how the child looked at it, he felt it was unreliable.
After all this trouble, even the living ones will die, right?
The child was also very nervous. He ran dozens of laps and stopped. He picked up the snake and looked at it. It was still soft, even softer. It didn't spit out water like in the story. It woke up slowly, showed a grateful look, and opened its red lips to call out "benefactor".
I was immediately disappointed.
Child: ...
"What's your story?"
"Strange Stories." The child remembered.
The woman who was rescued was a heart-eating monster who preyed on unfaithful men. One day, she set her sights on a scholar who treated his wife poorly, treating her like a slave. However, the man possessed a talisman given by a master, so she tricked him into diving into the water, where the talisman would be useless...
"What happened next? Was the monster caught?" the little boy asked.
The child glanced at her and said, "The monster ate the heart and liver of the scholar, threw the body into the water, wiped its mouth, and transformed itself into a matchmaker. It found another good businessman to be the husband of the scholar's wife. However, after three years, this good businessman became just like the previous one. He gradually treated his wife badly and fell in love with someone else. So the monster ate him too and found a farmer as the husband of his wife.
They were very loving at first. Two years later, his wife gave birth to a daughter. He was a little unhappy, but still considerate. Three years later, his wife gave birth to another daughter. He became violent, slapped his wife, snatched the daughter and wanted to throw her to the ground. The monster appeared again and killed him, dug out his heart and liver and ate them, then sighed to the woman.
In the eyes of others, scholars are polite gentlemen, but they look down on you because you are of low status and are just an ordinary citizen, and your family cannot pave a career for him, so they look down on you. Even if you work like a slave for him all day long, washing clothes and making money for him to study, it is useless.
The businessman is seen as smart and capable, but he gets bored easily and thinks you are getting older and not as pretty as young women, so he abandons you. Even if you try every means to win his attention and learn piano and dance, he will ignore you.
The farmer is honest and kind in the eyes of others. When he first got you, he treated you like a treasure and regarded you as an unattainable fairy. He wanted to worship you high and not let you get dirty. You did not become willful and spoiled because of this, but instead took care of the household for him, doing laundry and mending, and lived with him wholeheartedly.
You two were once so loving, but because you couldn't give birth to a boy, he wanted to beat you and kill your child, and he forgot all the love you had in the past.
These three people are of different ages, identities and appearances, but they all became unfaithful and ungrateful people, and there are always reasons for this or that.
It can be seen that men's nature is unreliable. Your character and actions are impeccable, but the ending is still like this. What about those women who are more mediocre and have some shortcomings?
I want to go see them, but I'm worried about you. What should I do? I want to find you another husband. Are you willing?
The woman shook her head and said, "Why should I bother with them? They want my daughters to suffer with me. I don't want to do such a stupid thing again."
The monster said that everyone has their own sufferings in life, but women always have a harder life than men. Even if you have a fortune, without a husband and son, you will be devoured by others. What will you do in the future?
The woman said, I don’t know what to do. I would rather not be this person. If you want to leave, please take my mother and I, my two daughters, with you.
So the monster gave her a pearl and turned her into a monster. The two of them took their child and went to find an uninhabited paradise. On their way, they killed many unfaithful men in the city.
This story was also told to her by Master Jingneng.
But she was still very young at that time and didn't quite understand what she said. She just kept asking for amulets, pearls and monsters to kill bad guys for her.
Master Jingneng drew a talisman for her, but she was still not satisfied and clamored for the other two. Master Jingchi hit her twice, and she didn't want them anymore.
Forget about this story.
