Snake

To say that Lu Xiehu deserved it or not, bad luck is very bad luck, pitiful is really pitiful, why other people don't fall off the huge crevice at the bottom of the hillside but he slips and rolls down, it all depends on his name.

Why is it called a scorpion tiger?

Because he has no hair.Born bald, with thin hairs, the little head is like the withered grass swaying in the wind in the crevices of the Gobi Desert. A few yellow hairs are planted lonely and firmly, far apart from each other, and the ends of the hair intersect. Try to prove to the world that this head is not completely barren.

However, Lu Xiehu's head is very barren, not only the head is barren, but the whole face is barren. When reincarnated, he didn't even have time to put on his eyebrows, and rolled into the world like a bare egg.Parents saw it, it was over, it was over, it was hard to make up for the inborn deficiency, and the time of giving birth was not right, and a huge "taboo" was printed on the almanac, which made it clear that the mother-in-law was in a hurry and didn't have time to stick hair to the child .Not only that, but also hurriedly pasted a large birthmark on the face by mistake, from the forehead to the eyebrows to the cheekbones, and stamped a big finger mark on the left cheek as if someone had slapped the face.And there are only four fingers, a reddish-brown puddle, like a scorpion tiger's front paws crawling across, it is really ugly.

Holding the bald and ugly baby, the couple felt bad luck.But the old man has something to say, three days in court, one full moon to shave his head, one hundred days to give him a name, one year old to walk around, and those who have not raised their children for a hundred days are not considered human beings. They are young without a grave, sacrificed without a name, and their ancestors do not recognize them. Let's talk about not raising it well.After all, he is a son!So the Lu family and his wife started to hope that they would raise Lu Xiehu for a full moon, and until a hundred days, they would keep their children alive and kicking, and other children of the same age would run around the ground with their pigtails in their hands. Well, Lu Xiehu still hasn't grown thick hair.And of course the eyebrows.

Seeing those few locks of soft yellow hairs that are not enough to cover the entire scalp fluttering weakly in the wind despite being brushed back and forth, I can't bear to be surprised by my mother, and I can see the envious look in the children's eyes , so he pulled a straw, grabbed his sparse hair to the top of his head, and pulled a braid with some difficulty.I didn't pull the hair rope, so I don't think I should humiliate an ambitious hair rope that can hold on to the cloud and black bun.Even from the eyes of others, the so-called pigtails whose lack of a single hair can make the pigtails fall apart, are all straws that have wronged others.That's why Lu Xiehu got a nickname since he was a child, that is, he doesn't pull out a hair.If others are unwilling to pull it out, he dare not pull it out, and cannot pull it out.

And Lu Xiehu is not a big name either.He doesn't have a real name. A hundred years ago, his parents called him Scorpion, because he was bald and hairless, like a greasy Scorpion, and also because of the birthmark on his face that looked like a claw mark.Ordinary people don't want their son to become a dragon, mothers don't think their son is ugly, if they can't be cloud dragons and water dragons, it's better to be an earth dragon, but they are also dragons, even if they swallow clouds and spit fog, the wind and rain will be smooth!Simply call it a scorpion tiger.Later, thinking that the child didn't look like he could grow hair anyway, the farmers in the countryside didn't seek elegance, so they continued to use this auspicious baby name.

Poor Lu Xiehu's mother doesn't dislike her father, the family has land but is extremely poor, the older brothers and sisters go out to make a living, and the younger siblings die young when they can't support them. In addition, the harvest in the village has not been very good year after year, and all the grievances accumulated by the people are inexplicably piled on the head of Zongjiao'er.At an age as fragile as the hair on its head, the little scorpion tiger was expelled by the villagers to a small wooden house in the desolate mid-mountain.The house hung alone above the small village, and a winding dirt road became its only connection with the world.

Children never dare to rebel against their elders, and the lonely little Scorpio is even more powerless to justify his own destiny.He stayed in the hut sadly and obediently, watching the end of the path in front of the door during the day and waiting for his father to come up to deliver food, and at night he huddled in the corner of the room without an oil lamp and prayed.He begged the Bodhisattva for the land, and the gods in the sky, as long as he remembered the name, he begged for each of them thousands of times in his heart, without hatred or grievance. go.

He looked forward to it day by day, and waited year after year. After years of studying, he found that his thinning hair began to fall out, and he got the news of his father's death.After that, Lu Xiehu had no chance to meet anyone again.He had no chance to listen or speak, was illiterate, and forgot how to speak.

For three years, he chose fruit and mushrooms to satisfy his hunger, wore grass stalks to mend his clothes, and picked velvet to fill his cotton. He lived like a wild monkey.Sometimes I went to the deep mountains to look for rare flowers and planted them in front of the door. Once I went there, I went for more than a month, and I always went farther and deeper.

In the end, he slid down the cliff with one foot and was unharmed, but fell into a more sinister desperate situation, and stumbled into the stone nest where the snake demon hid its eggs.The crevices of the mountain were dark, and you couldn't see your fingers. Lu Xiehu groped forward on the slippery stone wall, tripped over something, lost his balance, and slumped forward. Step on something with your toes.

At first, Lu Xiehu didn't know that he was stepping on a huge snake egg.In the pitch-black cave, he just squatted down and groped cautiously, and found a fragment with his hands, and touched a breach a little higher, and there was a layer of slippery film coat inside the breach.He didn't know what he had broken, but there was a living creature wriggling through the membrane, which frightened him immediately, and hurriedly picked up the pieces and pieced them together bit by bit along the crack.It was finally closed, but it felt unsafe, so I tried my best to support the thing, stood it upright, and blocked the gap.

While wiping the sweat from his forehead, a lazy human voice suddenly came, and asked enchantingly and mildly: "Which little bastard is here to disturb the tranquility of this seat again?"

Lu Xiehu didn't dare to make a sound.He doesn't make a sound either.

I saw faint fluorescence spreading from the end of the endless darkness.They are very unstable, floating up and down, as if they are alive, and they are also looking for a way out in this quietness.They lead their graceful steps forward, and the condensed dim light sees the silhouette like a fairy, and a dark belt is loosely tied on the outside of the half-open white pajamas.Lu Xiehu guessed that it was probably rouge, like the clouds in the evening, beautiful and fiery, warming the dusk.

"Yo ho, it's a person!"

The voice, which is as indistinguishable as the face, is strangely hoarse, and it seems that air is carelessly passing over the vocal cords, bringing only slight vibrations, which are too lazy for people to hear clearly.

"You don't look like a practitioner, Orion?"

Lu Xiehu shook his head.He was quite surprised, because this person was not frightened by his own ugly appearance in the first place.

The other party licked his mouth, tilted his head and continued to guess with great interest: "Health picking?"

Lu Xiehu shook his head.

"woodcutter?"

Shaking his head again.

"Why don't you say anything? Are you dumb?"

Lu Xiehu shook his head, nodded, and then shook his head.

The person on the opposite side was overjoyed, and grinned, showing two pointed canine teeth: "Hey, interesting, ten deaf and nine dumb, you are dumb but not deaf. Come closer to me and have a look!"

After what he said, Lu Xiehu had a sudden feeling that his eyesight was not very good. Looking closely at his pupils, they were more like nuclear-shaped pupils, which were very different from ordinary people.Lu Xiehu was suspicious, but he was more pitiful than afraid, he didn't even think about how there are living people in this strange place, he only sighed that he was young and had such a good appearance, it's a pity that his eyes are broken, God is not fair!

However, before Lu Xiehu got close to that person, his supposed half-blind eyesight had already noticed that his things had been broken by someone.

It wasn't until he heard a long and sharp hiss that Lu Xiehu realized that what he crushed was actually an egg, or a snake egg, a snake egg that was about to hatch a little snake demon.Before he had time to tremble and tremble, the pretty man took off her clothes and turned into a snake body, and the huge body with black back and white belly poked upright in front of his eyes.

Lu Xiehu raised his head, opened his mouth and stared wide-eyed, didn't even let out a breath of fear, and fainted from fright.

At that time, the inside of the cave suddenly became bright, and the fireflies that came from nowhere gathered into a magnificent light source, illuminating the surrounding area clearly.

The big snake leaned over and lowered its head, put the letter in its mouth, looked at Lu Xiehu who was lying on the ground and couldn't help but smacked his lips: "Hey, this is so ugly that it is so ingenious!"
