Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 401 Swear to Heaven, Snake Shedding

I looked at Meng Jingwei in confusion.

I don't understand why I can't watch it at his house.

Could it be that there is poison in that mass?

Meng Jingwei lowered his head and turned sideways, revealing a bit of skin under his collar.

Blood-red scars bulged on the bronze skin.

The scar is in the shape of a small snake.

It's very similar to the curse I encountered before.

"You see it."

"When he told me to give it to you, he put a curse on my whole family."

"I dare not disobey his orders."

"Shi Tou, I'm sorry...but this is all for the lives of my family!"

Meng Jingwei started crying as he spoke.

Seeing this man who used to act like a bully on the street crying with tears and snot, I couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Meng Jingwei wiped away his tears and said, "Shi Tou, as long as you go back and look at what's in your hand, I'll promise you."

"I promise that from now on, I will treat your grandfather like my real father!"

"I guarantee that no one in our village will dare disrespect your grandfather!"

"Make sure to take good care of your grandpa's diet and daily life, so that he can live a comfortable life."

This series of assurances made me smile helplessly.

I'm going to Blackwater City with Huang Ziran tomorrow.

From now on, life or death is uncertain.

It’s time to settle grandpa’s future life.

Letting the village chief Meng Jingwei take care of my grandfather is undoubtedly the best choice.

Meng Jingwei raised his right hand and pointed three fingers toward the sky.

"I, Meng Jingwei, swear to heaven!"

"If I fail to take good care of Chen Shitou's grandfather, my whole family will die a miserable death and be struck by lightning!"

I nodded and agreed with what Meng Jingwei said.

Speaking of which, Meng Jingwei's personality is a bit like Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind.

He's an absolutely loyal guy.

As long as he promised something, he would definitely stick to it.

Plus I just swore to heaven.

I'm not worried that he will lie to me.

"Uncle Meng, I believe you."

"I'm leaving with Captain Huang tomorrow, and I need you to tell my grandfather."

"Just say the village sent me to help the geological survey team and I need to go on a business trip."

Meng Jingwei nodded quickly: "Oh my god, go tell your grandfather now."

His rough big hand grabbed my right hand and pulled me out of the main room.

Obviously, he was still afraid that I would look at the thing in my hand.

The thing had a strange feel to it, but it felt very special.

Some leather texture.

But it does not have the texture of common leather such as cowhide, sheepskin, pigskin, etc.

It feels very thin when you hold it in your hand.

It can even be said to be as thin as a cicada's wing.

The strangest thing is that I always feel that the thing seems to be moving.

As if it has vitality.

What the hell is that thing?!

While I was thinking, Meng Jingwei had already taken me out of the main room.

His wife was walking out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl.

The big bowl is called a bowl, but it is actually a bowl-shaped basin.

As long as they are local families on Guanzhong Road, basically every household will have several large bowls.

Because the Qin people love noodles, they use a big bowl to eat noodles so that they can mix them and enjoy them more.

A rich aroma of mixed soup wafts into your nose.

Meng Jingwei's wife asked in confusion, "The soup is ready. Are you two... going to eat it in the yard?"

Meng Jingwei muttered, "Shitou is anxious to go home to see Grandpa."

"Well, put the soup in the basket."

"I just happened to be taking it to visit Stone's grandfather."

His wife hesitated to speak and reluctantly turned back to the kitchen.

The village chief's family was not rich in those days.

Inviting me to his house for dinner is just a matter of adding an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

The whole family can also enjoy the tomato and egg soup.

You have to put the bowl into the basket and carry it away.

They will never have the chance to enjoy this delicious meal.

Meng Jingwei took the basket of mixed soup and hurriedly pulled me out of the yard.

The moment he stepped out of the courtyard, he let out a long breath.

His expression also looked much more relaxed.

We walked towards my house in silence.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my grandfather sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

Meng Jingwei took two quick steps and said with a smile on his face, "Uncle, how are you feeling lately?"

Grandpa stood up and greeted, "The village chief is here. I'm fine."

"Uncle, it's too formal to call me village chief."

"Just call me Jingwei like before."

"My wife just made some tomato and egg soup, so I'll give it to you to try."

Meng Jingwei put down the basket.

He took out a large bowl from the basket with both hands.

Grandpa's nose twitched slightly, and he smiled and said, "It smells good! I really want this."

"Let's go inside and eat." Meng Jingwei walked into the main room holding a large bowl.

Grandpa accompanied him into the house to talk.

I went to the kitchen to get a spoon and chopsticks.

As I entered the kitchen, the itchy feeling in the palm of my right hand became even stronger.

The five clenched fingers of his right hand slowly opened.

Reveal the thing in the palm of your hand.

It turned out to be a ball of snake skin!

Do not!

To be precise, it should be snake skin!

It is the skin shed by the snake during its growth!

The snake skin was very small, only slightly longer than my palm.

The most peculiar thing is that there are two small claws on the snake skin.

This is the skin shed by a two-clawed snake!

What do you mean by giving this to me?!

Just as I was wondering, the snake skin made a crackling sound.

Then the snake skin quickly turned into a pool of mucus.

I thought to myself that this was not good.

When I was about to put my hand into the water tank to wash off the mucus, the mucus had already seeped into the skin of my palm.

A burning sensation came from the palm of my hand.

The mucus seemed to evaporate quickly when exposed to heat and disappeared from my palm in an instant.

but I know.

The slime is not gone.

Instead, it completely penetrated into the skin!

I watched with my own eyes as a scale grew in the middle of my palm!

Snake-like scales!

Immediately afterwards, snake scales emerged!

In the blink of an eye, my entire right hand was covered with snake scales!

This reminds me of Meng Jingye in the tomb of the King of Bi State!

Not long after snake scales appeared on his body, his entire body was covered with snake scales!

Eventually it turned into a human-shaped snake!

Will I become like that ghost?!

No, I can't become like that!

I hurriedly put my right hand into the water tank.

Grab an old dishwashing loofah in your left hand and scrape it vigorously on the scales on your right hand.

Wow!

The splashing water wet my clothes, but I didn't notice it.

Just scraping the scales on my right hand like crazy.

My right hand is getting more and more painful.

Drops of blood dissolved into the water.

I still didn't stop.

Snapped!

A slap hit me hard on the shoulder.

I shuddered all over and raised my head suddenly as if I had woken up from a nightmare.

Then he slowly turned his neck to look behind him.

It’s Meng Jingwei.

He squeezed my shoulders hard and shook them twice.

His face was full of concern. "What's wrong with you?"

"You acted as if you didn't hear me when I called you, and just lowered your head and washed your right hand vigorously."

"My hands are all scratched."

"The water is almost dyed red with your blood."

I quickly lowered my head to look at my right hand.

There were many scrapes on the palms and backs of his hands, and blood was oozing out.

But I felt greatly relieved.

Those damn scales are gone!

But are the scales really scraped off?

"cough."

Meng Jingwei coughed dryly.

He lowered his voice and said, "It seems you have seen that thing."

"Now I can tell you the last words that Master Camel asked me to convey to you."

"Golden scales beat the wind and thunder drum, and the treasure appears in the Sun and Moon Well."

"He will be waiting for you in Blackwater City."

"I hope I won't disappoint him this time."

"If you disappoint him... he said you'll end up like my eldest brother Meng Jingye."
