Snake

Month after month, Brother Long moaned and complained that life was boring and hard to bear, but for Lu Xiehu, it was like a passing moment, and autumn entered in a trance.People count the days with fingers, but the boy counts the years with snake eggs, and he is surprised that he has already raised embryoless eggs three times before and after.With the few days of rest and recuperation, adding together, the cohabitation of humans and snakes can be as short as four months.

Different from Long Ge who is picky in every possible way, Lu Xiehu's life experience dictates that, he has been submissive since he was a child, and lived a rather pure-hearted and ascetic life.What's more, with Brother Long and Huzi as companions, Lu Xiehu felt that it was the best thing that he would no longer be alone in the world.

Looking at the half-snake tiger, he probably doesn't understand human affairs yet, and all the temptations in the world can't hinder him, but as long as there is a gentle and virtuous Lu Xiehu who can make him cling to him all the time, he can also live a carefree, comfortable and contented life.

Originally, based on Brother Long's Taoism, he should have a bright moon in his heart and a cool breeze that does not disturb him. However, living in a secluded mountain is so quiet. After all, he is the owner of the mountain. When old friends come to pay a visit, the so-called tranquility is also the tranquility of a high mountain.Leaving the forest world and half entering the human world, the little demons with shallow cultivation did not dare to show up to pay respects, and Lu Xiehu's hut lived in seclusion, and there were not many birds passing by above his head. Every day, the three of them stared at each other The small eyes really quieted Long Ge out of a sense of confusion and isolation.He suddenly deeply understood the state of mind that Nu Wa created a human being——Loneliness, it is the boundless regret that even if you want to break the precepts and kill, you can't find someone to punch!

And once Brother Long finished sighing and couldn't think of another way to entertain him, Lu Xiehu's ass would be unlucky.You can't keep your butt even if you have eggs in your stomach, and you can't keep your butt when there are no eggs in your stomach.

In many cases, Lu Xiehu no longer believed that Brother Long was once his mother.Even if his female body is charming, graceful and exquisite, Lu Xiehu thinks he is an illusion.Because his butt hurts, it hurts often, it hurts very much, and it hurts the most when laying eggs.

"You're not bad. A snake's body needs more than a dozen eggs to breed, and the python family next door once laid more than a hundred eggs! I'm just for cultivation now, and I'll ask you to give birth to two eggs at a time. I feel sorry for you."

Hearing this, Lu Xiehu immediately persuaded Long Ge to go down the mountain to experience the baptism of fireworks in the world and practice in the common world.As an old goblin with lofty aspirations of transforming into a jiao and ascending a dragon, he must get out of the mud without getting stained, enter the world of mortals and clean himself up, and eat people without spitting out bones.This is called concentration!

Long Ge firmly slapped him on the forehead and spat angrily: "You can eat people! Your whole family doesn't spit out bones!"

After scolding, Shi Shi ran down the mountain to accept the test of seven emotions and six desires after turning into a handsome young man.

What happened to the naughty boy was always uncertain. Brother Long would go down the mountain for at least three to five days, and at most it would take ten days before he came back.When I got home, Lu Xiehu took care of the housework and took the baby to hatch the eggs, and even "virtuously" laid the eggs alone.

It's true that Brother Long didn't miss Lu Xiehu's existence and missed the delivery date. Before leaving, he always left the summoning charm, just held it in his hand and called Brother Long three times, and appeared immediately.But Lu Scorpion never used it once.It is true that the kid does not want to disturb other people's happiness, but on the other hand, the first time is born and the second time is ripe, and laying eggs is not as painful as giving birth to tiger cubs. Lu Xiehu will no longer be scared and at a loss. Can handle it.Feeling something was wrong with my stomach, I went back to the hut and lay down on the bed to rest, and then pulled out the prepared cushion and placed it under my body to catch the egg, being careful not to break the egg shell.

Lu Xiehu always believed that with Brother Long's fault-finding and unforgiving virtue, if there was a mistake in the snake egg, he would definitely be able to regenerate himself.Just like giving birth to a tiger cub.

And two times in a row, he stepped into the house with one foot and saw Lu Xiehu cleaning up the newly laid eggs. Brother Long's tone always seemed sullen: "Are you going to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb at the moment of death?"

Lu Xiehu was very tired, and still smiled at people innocently: "It doesn't matter!"

Brother Long picked up the bald little tiger who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to laugh at the two snake eggs, and while hanging and beating his son, said in a low voice: "Eggs don't matter, people matter!"

Lu Xiehu froze for a moment, grinning with yellowed teeth, he smiled ugly.

Brother Long rolled his eyes at him, snapped his fingers to attract a mountain herb, prepared hot soup and delicacies for Lu Xiehu, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed with a snake egg in his hands, drinking the eggs slowly, one after another like drinking tea. liquid.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, Lu Xiehu was in good health. Early this morning, he saw Brother Long after washing and washing his belt, apparently going out.Just as he was going down the mountain to play again, unexpectedly he pushed a tray containing fabrics and made Lu Xiehu replace it.If you unfold it, you can see that it is an autumn shirt with simple color and color, but it is well cut, and there is a layer of light flocking in the lining, which can just keep out the autumn coolness.

Lu Xiehu held the new clothes without changing or refusing them, he was so dumbfounded that he didn't understand why.

"Tsk, I always go down the mountain alone, it's boring!"

Lu Xiehu patted his forehead, pointed to the birthmark on his face, and kept waving his hands.

Brother Long glared at him: "Tiger head hat? You don't want to wear it when it's hot. It's up to you. It's getting cold now, go find it!"

Lu Xiehu begged for mercy with a bitter face.

"No! You have to go today, if you don't go, I will carry you!"

Lu Xiehu jumped onto the bed and grabbed the bedpost, but he was determined.

Brother Long pointed at the snake egg that had grown twice in the hanging basket, squinted his eyes and smiled evilly: "If you don't listen, I will eat the egg right now, and take the tiger back to the cave."

Bite people when they disagree, and eat eggs if they don't bite enough. I have to say that Brother Long's methods of forcing people to submit are really rough and despicable, but they are effective.There is no need to say it a second time, and there is no need to confirm it. Lu Xiehu really believes that he can do what he says.A snake ancestor who has been a female demon for half her life and became a man just because she was bored, laying eggs and eating them by herself, and even hugging men to sleep and forcing men to lay eggs, Lu Xiehu really doesn't think there is anything in this world that is Brother Long I dare not think that I will not do it.

"You can't say that!" Lu Xiehu corrected himself a little bit in his heart, "Turn things upside down, tell him not to be a dragon, he won't agree; let him let me go, he won't allow it; He doesn't dare to do anything. Oh, Brother Long is actually quite cowardly!"

Brother Long's mind-reading skills picked up all of these words, and he heard two sneer grunts from his chest in front of him, and said in a strange way: "You are not as courageous as you are. You are brave and crown the world." !"

Lu Xiehu immediately pursed his lips and covered his heart, and slandered: "Didn't you say it's okay to use this technique on me?"

Brother Long turned his head and made a stern glance: "Then don't keep talking with your stomach!"

"I didn't mean to tell you."

"You didn't even move your mouth!"

Lu Xiehu choked.

"It's clearly you trying to save trouble!"

Lu Xiehu couldn't refute.

"You might as well work hard for Hu Zi, he has learned to speak human language."

In order to speak for Brother Long who is both a mother and a father, Hu Zi, who was on Lu Xiehu's shoulder, immediately said a sentence in a clear and clear human voice: "Baby, give me a kiss!"

So the two fathers stared angrily and stared blankly for a moment, and then they both came to cover his mouth.

Brother Long roared in a low voice: "Little bastard, listen to the wall, shameless!"

After scolding, he paused, stomped his feet to get even more angry, and spit angrily: "Bah! The bastard, his second uncle!"

At this moment, Lu Xiehu's face was as red as if scalded by hot water, and the color of the birthmarks on his palms became darker, like a seasonal crimson leaf opening at the corner of his eyes, or like a new make-up in the market, There was actually a radiant glow on his face, not as abrupt and ugly as before.

However, he was really obedient, and when he went out, he honestly put on a childlike tiger-head hat to cover his mottled bald head, and the khaki-colored hat curtain draped over the ears, and various colored floral heads put together a monster face with its tongue sticking out. , I still don't forget to embroider the word "King" thickly with black thread in the middle of the forehead. There is no majesty, but it is very funny.

The combination of the hatchback makes the young man look lively and playful, where is there any ugliness?There is only an immature and flawless Jiaoerlang in front of him.It's not enough to be beautiful and fragrant, but it doesn't have a taste.

"Zi, taste?" Thinking around for a while, Brother Long woke up suddenly, and couldn't help but be jolted by the flash of thought in his mind just now.Shaking his head and looking at Lu Xiehu again, he still liked it more and more, his heartbeat started to beat, so he didn't dare to look at it any more, turned his face away and urged in an angry voice: "Stop gossip, waste your time, Hurry up and go!"

Then he went down to the prosperous world by stepping on the dirt road with weeds and luxuriant grass.

I always thought that I would cross the village, cross the bridge, enter the market, and go to the township. Unexpectedly, the road after going down the mountain will become more and more deviated, but the more I walk, the more familiar I am.Finally, Lu Xiehu stopped and refused to step on Brother Long's footsteps to take half a step forward, his arms involuntarily wrapped around Huzi who was still full of interest, his eyebrows and eyes were full of suspicion and confusion, his lips quivered slightly, and his blood color gradually faded away. lose.

Brother Long turned around to look at him, knowingly asked, "Why didn't you leave?"

Lu Xiehu refused to believe it, subconsciously rubbed his feet back.

"Oh? Did you see it? I didn't notice it when I turned my head around! The grass grew too high and dense, and it was buried." Brother Long moved two steps sideways, leaned over and picked up the weeds that were half a person's height, revealing the next piece called Fengyu. A stone eroded beyond recognition.He raised his face and smiled at Lu Xiehu, squinting his eyes, and said, "If you say you were born and bred here, you always remember the location of the boundary marker."

Lu Xiehu trembled all over, with tears in his eyes.

Brother Long stood beside the stone, neither advancing nor retreating, nor speaking, like a silent urging.

But Lu Scorpion did not move.He seemed to know the good and bad ahead, and he stubbornly refused to step into the established trap.Brother Long set a trap for him, and his captors wanted his life.

"So you really know everything that happened in the village. It's strange!" Long Ge's eyes slowly opened, and the snake pupils shot out a cold light, "My seat's guessing skills have never been read at all. Unless You forget, but obviously you don't. So how do you manage not to miss it, not to hate it?"

His voice was cool, and he took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on her.

"The epidemic took the lives of half of the people in the village, including your father. Those who survived all ran away. They didn't even bother to bury the corpses, and finally set fire to the village. Your house is in the middle of the mountain, and the wind is not blowing, so It didn’t burn through. But no one came to inform you of the spread of the disease, they didn’t even set fire to warn you, those people abandoned you, and they didn’t care if you died. Did they?”

Saying one tear and one line, Lu Xiehu broke down in sobs.

Brother Long came to him, raised his hand to support his chin, forced him to look up, and asked him very gently and slowly: "Why do you have no hatred like this? Why do you continue to live in the mountains alone? Why, I can't hear you This heart?"

"I didn't see it." Lu Xiehu said in his own voice, "I was stupid since I was a child. I didn't see it with my own eyes or hear it with my own ears. I couldn't figure it out. I don't know what a sick person looks like. I didn't see the scene when the fire was burning. I went to the mountains to look for butterfly flowers. My mother said that after death, the soul would turn into a butterfly and fly to the realm of bliss. She said that the butterfly flowers were their last thoughts left in the world. Dedicated on the grave, in the dream, the flower fairy will send a message for the deceased. I think," he choked up, "I just want to hear, Dad talk to me. I never sent him."

Brother Long pulled him into his arms, didn't ask any more questions, and didn't want to hear anything.

But he still murmured to himself: "I dare not go far, I am afraid that the flower fairies here will not know the way, and will forget what my father said. It has been three years, but she has not come to my dream. I have been waiting for three years. Daddy Do you really don't want me anymore?"

Brother Long hugged him, stroking his head with his hands, it was extremely soft.

"No!" He said with absolute certainty, "It's your father, he's relieved. When he left, he had no worries and cares, and after he left, he had no desires or desires. This is called peace!"

"Well!"

Lu Xiehu nodded vigorously in his arms, endured it, and cried loudly.
