5 Beads of Meat
"Let's go! Bro Flattop said," It's probably there.”
We walked towards Father.
When we got closer, Father said,
"I picked mushrooms here a few days ago. Now that I'm stepping on them, I realize that there are many willow branches here!”
I looked in the direction my father pointed and saw two willow branches coming out of the ground. The green willow branches were sizzling and mixed with the wheat seedlings. It was not easy to notice if one did not look carefully.
This was not strange. After all, this was a forest in the past. It was normal for there to be roots underground.
"Is the coffin here?" I think.
Then, he took out his dagger and started digging. The soil in the ground had been plowed. In addition, it had just rained a few days ago, so the soil was relatively soft. It did not take long for me to dig an arm's length deep. In the process, a lot of rotten wood chips were turned over, and then the tip of the knife touched something hard. It was a living tree root.
Just as I was about to find out, my father touched me with his foot and said,
"Get up quickly!"
When I looked up, I saw a person coming from the bridge of the village in the west. Seeing that it was the family that was so fast, she quickly got up.
In order to prevent him from seeing me dig a hole, we didn't wait for him to approach before we went up to him. It was a middle-aged man with dark skin and a big head.
His father often played movies in the village, so most people in the village knew him. When they got closer, this person and his father recognized each other, and the atmosphere immediately eased up.
"Aiyo! It's Uncle Tong! What are you doing here?"
The black guy said with a fake smile.
His father handed him a cigarette and told him about the situation. It was said that an old man had passed away and came here to see the graveyard.
After hearing his father's words, this fellow immediately began to look troubled. He said,
"Aiya! This wheat seedling was just at the scion stage. It would be a pity if it was destroyed now.”
We can all see that this person wants benefits.
My father said that everyone was a farmer and knew that it was not easy to farm. He immediately took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to him. This person first gave way, then took it and left.
The reason why I could get rid of him so easily was because this land was collectively contracted to an individual. In two years, they would have to be redistributed. So what if she was a disaster? He didn't care about it.
I was prepared to continue with the pit.
When he returned to the pit, he was shocked. In a short period of time, someone had thrown in a gold diamond ring.
I thought I was seeing things, so I rubbed my eyes. It was a diamond-shaped turquoise with two pigeon egg rubies on the outside. It was as big as a computer USB drive. It was half buried in the ground and it was impossible to tell if it was a ring or a pendant. It only looked especially warm in the damp pit.
"Could it be that the two of them are teasing me?”
I looked at my father and Bro Flattop.
Seeing me looking at them with a strange gaze, they also looked at me with confusion. It didn't seem like they did it.
"Could it be that the ghost in the tomb knew that we were going to rob his tomb, so he threw this thing out to bribe me and begged me not to rob his tomb?”
I think it's highly possible.
According to Bro Flattop, the owner of this tomb was a very powerful and scheming person. It was not impossible for him to throw out a gem in order to protect his tomb.
So I thought,
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
"But don't blame me. If you take the treasure photo, I'll still rob the tomb."
Then, I silently pinched the gemstone. He thought to himself, When I take it out, I'll give my father and Bro Flattop a surprise.
Later, when I recalled this time, I was really bewitched.
When my finger touched the so-called diamond, I felt that something was wrong. Although I've never touched a gem in my life, it's still a stone! They should all be in good shape. However, the diamond ring was soft to the touch, like a piece of meat that would flatten with a pinch. There seemed to be bones inside.
I instinctively sensed danger and retracted my hand, but it was too late.
First, my finger was instantly bitten by the gem. Then, the soil in the pit suddenly boiled and emitted a muffled thunder-like sound. Before I could see clearly, a yellow snake wrapped around my wrist.
I was so scared that I squatted on the ground and thought,
"Not good! I'm going to die."
His mind went blank as if he had been struck by lightning, and he threw the dagger to the side.
I'm very afraid of snakes. I'm usually afraid when I look at them. However, based on his instinct and disgust, he pulled the snake off his wrist and threw it to the side before retreating.
This snake had already bitten me once, but it didn't continue to fight. It ran away, its body smooth like a turbid stream of water as it crawled into the pit and disappeared.
I didn't know if it was an illusion or an epiphany. Although I couldn't see the situation in the pit, I suddenly knew that the wet root was hollow. The snake had disappeared into that hollow.
"It's over. I'm going to die this time!"
My heart was filled with disgust and shame, and I felt my blood turn cold. At this moment, my father and Bro Flattop ran over. They must have seen what happened just now, so they grabbed my right arm very roughly. Bro Flattop grabbed my hand with one hand and picked up the dagger I threw on the ground with the other. Then, he cut off two of my fingers. Not only did it cut off the finger that was bitten, but it also cut off a good finger of mine.
Fresh blood spurted out from the severed finger. The pain immediately cleared my mind and I realized that I wouldn't die so easily. I wanted to protest and say that he cut it wrongly, but it was so painful that I couldn't speak.
"Sigh! It's too late to say it!"
So I didn't say anything and just kept panting.
My father saw that I couldn't stop bleeding, but he didn't bring Yunnan Baiyao or anything, so he grabbed a handful of dry soil from the ground and let me hold it.
Then, the two of them grabbed my clothes and dragged me out of the wheat field like a dead pig. They almost strangled me to death.
I sat on my bicycle.
The snake venom seemed to have taken effect. Along the way, I smelled the smell of blood, wheat seedlings, and yellow soil on my body. My head spun like a top, and I didn't know where I was moving.
I was woken up by the television in the evening. I found that Bro Flattop was watching TV while I was lying on the sofa in the living room. I was still wearing my clothes from the morning. Her clothes were in a mess, and she was feeling weak and anxious.
The evening air was as deep as water, and his head was light, probably because he had lost too much blood. He had a terrible headache in his sleep just now, and now he felt like his head was like a bell. The slightest movement would make his head buzz.
To my relief, my hand was already wrapped. The white bandage made me feel very at ease.
"You're awake? Come down and run more! It's good for your injuries."
"Is the snake venom in my body okay?”I asked.
"It's fine! He was just feeling a little dizzy from the blood loss.”
I was relieved and told him about the finger.
"I didn't even have time to say anything before I attacked! Otherwise, we could have lost one less finger."
Bro Flattop didn't feel guilty at all. He said with a relaxed expression,"
"You should be content. You're already lucky that I didn't amputate your entire hand? Do you know what kind of snake it is?"
"What snake! Isn't it the Earth Serpent?" I said.
I was reluctant to recall the snake.
The so-called Tugong Snake was a type of viper. It was extremely venomous and had a skin like soil. It was very well hidden in the plains.
I'm at a disadvantage because of its skin color.
However, what puzzled him was that although the skin color of the Earth Serpent was close to earth, it was not as invisible as it was today. Not to mention that high-profile, gem-like flower head Le, was it obvious that it wanted to kill people?
"It's a Tugong Snake, but when this snake grows to a certain extent, it's a spitting snake.”Bro Flattop said.
Then, he told me about the Tugong Snake.
An ordinary Tugong Snake would die of old age before reaching half a meter.
However, some snakes could extend their lifespan by transcending tribulations. There were many kinds of tribulations, and they basically committed suicide and self-harm. Crossing the road, crossing the fire pit, jumping off the cliff, etc., could be said to be full of tricks. In the end, when his life was on the line, he relied on his own recovery ability to revive him, in order to achieve the goal of delaying anti-aging and prolonging his life.
When the size of the Earth Serpent reached a certain level, its method of reproduction would no longer be to lay eggs, but to spit out orphans.
Tugu was also a Tuzi. Because the mother snake and the little snake shared a set of internal organs, the little snake died as soon as the mother snake was born. The process of vomiting was also very magical. Most of the time, it was on a morning with dew in the summer. The mother snake opened her mouth and inhaled the dew on the grass. Then the child snake was attracted by the dew to bite the grass. At this time, the mother snake retreated and pulled the little snake out of its stomach.
Such a small snake was a new life, and could also be regarded as the main body of the female snake. As it grew, it had the attribute of secondary development, and its toxicity would also increase, so much so that colorful tumors would grow on its head. The brighter the color, the more toxic it was.”
Bro Flattop is here, but I know it's just a story for fun.
"Strong poison? How strong can he be?"
Bro Flattop pretended to be mysterious and said,
"Just listen to its other name.”
"Its other name is Bone-spitting Snake, the bone of bones. It was said that if one was bitten by this snake, they would die. If it was a little lighter, all the bones in the body would melt. At that time, the person would be like a pile of raw meat on the ground. There was once a man whose bones melted after being bitten. His wife put him in a bucket like pig chop suey and carried him to the streets to beg. That was really worse than death!”
These words really disgusted me. I was so scared that I quickly got off the sofa.
Bro Flattop saw that I had scared the sofa, so he lay down on it.
"I have to sleep for a while now.”
Then, he said,
"Don't worry! If I say you're fine, then you're fine. Today, I saw a green spot on the snake's head, which means there's something good down there. As long as we work together, your two fingers won't be in vain.”
"I'm counting on your good words!"
I said. He left the house.
