pregnant snake

Black Snake ran to talk to his old friend Liu Shuyi, poor Su He was still looking for him all over the yard, and ran into the house to look for him if he couldn't find him in the yard, looked around but still didn't see the snake shadow.

Su He stood blankly in the empty room, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

Just left so quietly?Su He asked from the bottom of his heart. When he heard others talk about the heart of snakes and scorpions, he secretly felt sorry for these two kinds of creatures. He always felt that there is no one kind of thing in the world that is completely ruthless, but now that he has really encountered it, it is true Make him a little uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it, Su He felt that he was a little selfish again. The snake belonged to this mountain, and it couldn't be enclosed by this small courtyard. He and the black snake had their own paths, so they shouldn't bother each other That's right.

Thinking about this, Su He turned his head to look at the warm sun outside the house. In the small courtyard, the tabby cat came back from nowhere, and was flapping at the butterfly with its muddy paws.Su He walked over to pick up the dirty tabby cat and put it aside, then squatted down to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard. Although the yard was not big, it was enough for him to be busy.

When he was busy, Su He naturally didn't have the energy to think about it. When he remembered Black Snake again, it was when he was writing at his desk that he happened to glance at a few books by the table. Those books were about how to raise snakes.Su He was stunned for a moment, his wrist was hanging on the rice paper, a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen in his hand, and an ink flower appeared on the paper. When Su He came back to his senses, a good piece of writing had been destroyed.

Sighing lightly, putting down the ink and pen, Su He pressed the few books that seemed to be no longer needed into the bottom of the bookcase, and then turned off the lamp in a dull mood, intending to go to sleep, but he was lying on the bed But he couldn't fall asleep on the couch anyway. When he closed his eyes, some clear but distant memories of the past would emerge. In the end, Su He stopped forcing himself to fall asleep and opened his eyes to look at the window full of moonlight in a trance.

I don't know how long it took, when Su He finally fell asleep in the drowsiness that was gradually creeping up, there was a "squeak" sound from the room. The sound was not loud, but it was very clear in the silent night. Su He's drowsiness dissipated in an instant, and he stared vigilantly at the room through the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, Su He grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly, and he found that the door of the house that was originally covered was opened a crack, and then he heard the cat that was sleeping at his feet screamed and quickly ran away, Su He was caught The cat was startled by its cry, and was about to turn over and go to light a candle when it bumped into something cold.

Su He froze immediately, opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly understood something, boldly touched beside him, and sure enough, he touched something cold that seemed to be covered with scales.If other people suddenly found such a thing beside them at night, it would be strange if they didn't startle and scream. I am afraid that in this world, Su He is the only one who smiled with his lips after touching this thing.

Because he didn't need to light a candle to see that it was the black snake he was thinking about.

The black snake nestled on the couch without moving, allowing Su He to touch it a few times, then slowly crawled up the side of the couch, curled up next to Su He's pillow.

Su He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the Black Snake meant by this move, he wanted to ask but couldn't, so he looked at him for a while with his half-up body under the moonlight, and after making sure that the Black Snake was no longer moving, he lay down carefully, But he didn't dare to get too close to the black snake, but leaned far away on the other corner of the pillow, even breathing very slowly.

Su He stayed up half asleep and half awake like this for several hours, and fell into a deep sleep when the sky was about to light up. After sleeping, it was noon, and when he woke up, he saw the black snake entwined on the railing like in the past and went to bask in the sun. don't worry.

And for some days after that, Black Snake never stayed in the wooden box at night, but curled up next to Su He's pillow all day long. At the beginning, Su He was not used to it, and he was afraid to sleep too soundly all night. I got used to it afterward, and even when the weather gets hot after summer, I will unconsciously move closer to Hei Snake to soak up the cool air from his body, but Hei Snake doesn't hide, just tilts his head and glances at him. , and then curled up in that haughty and indifferent attitude.

As for the Taoist priest who came to beg for water and what the Taoist priest said, Su Ho had long forgotten it.

The days passed without incident, and when Su He was bored, he would even think about going to the mountains to hold a female snake to relieve the black snake's loneliness. If he could give birth to a litter of baby snakes in the future, it would be very fun It's just that every time he thinks like this, he will find that the black snake is looking at him, and there seems to be a faint trace of coldness in the black eyes. Go ahead and act like nothing happened.

Summer just slipped away like this, and it was already early autumn in a blink of an eye, perhaps because of nature, once the weather cooled down, the black snake became more and more lazy to move.Before the case, Su He sketched and calculated the amount of charcoal fire to be used this winter. Before making the last stroke, he glanced at the lazy black snake, gritted his teeth, and doubled the amount of charcoal fire.

After making this decision, Su He sorted out the words on the book case, picked out a few and wrapped them in oiled paper, and planned to sell them down the mountain tomorrow to raise some charcoal money. No matter what, he didn't want the Black Snake to spend the next few days freeze in.

Su He had good intentions, but he really shouldn't choose this day to go down the mountain.
