Chapter 21 The Storm
At the end of summer, strong winds blew in the mountains, dark clouds covered the sun, dark sky and dark earth, and the snake curled up in the nest, watching the mountains, trees and birds flying everywhere.
"My house is quite big, and I welcome homeless animals to play with it." The snake dreamed of waiting for the rabbit.
Suddenly there was a thunder sound.
The sky seemed to have broken a hole.
The rain fell soaringly, leaving only foggy water in sight.
The snake retracted back to the depths of the cave, and at the same time judged the weather based on the experience of the previous life. "The thunderstorms in summer come and go like the wind, so it should stop tomorrow."
The spiritual energy is disordered during the storm and cannot be practiced.
The brocade snake was dozing off in the dark and wet hole.
The next day, the rain was unexpectedly fierce, and the water seeping downwards fell from the top of the cave like a cannon, and the water rolling down the mountain flowed backwards into the cave.
The snake was not worried about the condition of the cave.
Even if it is really flooded, it is a black-eyed brocade snake that is good at water, just like it to take a mud bath.
However, the warm fur that has been collected in recent years may have a chance of mold and wrinkle after being damp, and I still expect to rely on them to spend the winter.
Then, in a few days, the date of meeting agreed with the human teenager will be. Based on the time of going back and forth, it is almost time for him to set off!
In such bad weather, only those who seek death will go up the mountain.
But the brocade snake was a life-saving grace, and used the snake venom that did not exist at all, and could not help the young man to keep his promise or choose to risk his life to climb the mountain due to fear of the poison.
The snake is scared.
"Hiss, ah... Teacher Luo, if he died because of this, what crime did this snake commit?"
The brocade snake was relieved immediately.
"Hiss, this is a different world, there is no legal constraint, I will do whatever I want."
The snake still cannot accept it.
Even if it has an extremely flexible moral bottom line, it is ultimately too outrageous to cause innocent death.
"The person I want to kill cannot escape fifteen, and the person I want to kill must be alive for me! That's it!"
The brocade snake pushed open the stone that was used to hide the rain.
"Brother, I'm kidding."
"Don't do stupid things. I'm a kind and well-behaved, non-toxic black-eyed brocade snake. Where can I get poison for you to drink?"
The snake bit the fine teeth that did not have poisonous fangs, picked out one of the few talismans left in the dry place in the hole, and used spiritual power to stimulate it.
The green light flashed, and a strong and hung-eyed tiger appeared outside the cave.
"Although I know that even if I set out to stop immediately, it seems a bit too late, but I can only do my best..."
Looking at the heavy rain, the tiger jumped and broke into the continuous rain curtain.
As we head east, driven by spiritual power, the tiger transformed by the brocade snake is extremely fast.
When you encounter water, you will jump and bump into trees. You will not be stingy with spiritual power. In the evening, you will rush out of the forest and come to a valley with a wide view.
It should be where the village where the boy lives.
only.
Where can I find traces of cottages?
This area has been in good weather for decades, and the mountain people have never had the awareness of flood control and disaster control. The total rainfall in the two days of heavy rain is not enough to cause large-scale floods, but it is more than enough to create a small mountain torrent into the pit.
So what the Jinshe could see was the surging mud and water rushing into the depression and submerging everything.
The reaction was so fast that he still had a chance to run to the surrounding mountains. If he didn't react, he disappeared with the house as soon as he was washed away by the flood.
Jinshe noticed the survivors in groups of three or three on the hillside and walked over to identify them.
The appearance of the tiger caused a commotion. Although everyone was shaking and trembling by the rain, they couldn't say a few words, but there were still some words that came into their ears.
"Tiger! What a big tiger!"
"Help...ah!"
"This is the tiger Erwa mentioned at the beginning! I would have hired a Taoist priest if I had known it!"
...
The snake likes to listen to these words.
Although it is about the tiger it transforms, rounding it is praising it.
He manipulated the tiger and cat steps through the refugee crowd, but he did not find the boy, and he was unable to speak and ask questions when he turned into a tiger.
After searching on the nearby mountain twice, the snake chose to give up.
"Let's just stop here."
"I have tried my best, and the probability of him dying in the mountains because of my coercion is actually almost the same as the probability of squatting at home and drowning in a mountain torrent."
Jinshe persuaded herself and roared to the crowd and said hello. The frightened villagers fell backwards. The girl not far away stood unsteadily and was swept away by the surging water.
The brocade snake had no idea of rescuing the villagers. It rushed here by swallowing the wind and rain. It had no more spiritual power to drive it. Moreover, it is just a small snake now, and it has no obligation to rescue disasters.
But if someone is hurt by his or her own fun behavior, the snake will not be able to turn a blind eye.
He controlled the tiger's body, rushed to the girl's place where she fell into the water, and opened her mouth to hold her warm body.
Throw it directly onto the shore?
Doesn’t this look weak?
The brocade snake crawled into the mountains and forests with the girl in her arms, leaving only the refugees looking at each other below.
"Huh...is very dangerous..."
"It's the girl from the Wang family who was captured, alas..."
"That girl fell into the water and alarmed the tiger, it's pitiful."
...
The Jinshe found a place to block the rain, removed the softness from her mouth, and did not wait for the fearful girl to open her eyes and retreat into the fine rain curtain.
After only two steps, the brocade snake that exhausted its spiritual power showed its true form.
Pick.
"Hiss, oh!"
The brocade snake moaned.
The girl opened her shaking eyelids under the mud, and did not see the ferocious beasts in the mountains. She only saw the inconspicuous green flower green melon and snake lying sickly in the grass in the distance.
"Did the tiger save me? Or... dream?" The girl was puzzled.
The brocade snake slowly crawled out of the girl's sight.
The rain as big as beans kept hitting the scales.
No pain.
But it's very uncomfortable.
It's like being whipped by a spoon on the back.
The advancement of the snake is the dragon, and the dragon is the chief executive of the clouds and rain. The dragon is the legendary culprit of floods. Why should my descendants of the dragon clan be bullied by the rain?
The snake was discouraged.
I turned around and looked back at the way home. When I came here, I had climbed several mountains. Now that I had exhausted my spiritual power, I could only climb over the mountains and ridges slowly back home. The snake couldn't help but complain.
"Hiss... the damn rainstorm ruined my perfect plan to control people's hearts!"
...
After climbing in the rugged mountain road for a whole day and night, the snake returned home exhausted.
When I first entered the cave, the bloody smell stained the tip of my tongue, and there were actually animals sheltering from the rain sneaking into my cave.
If it is normal, the Jinshe will have a full meal.
But the roof leaked and rained all night, and the boat was late and the wind was encountered again.
The exhausted snake had no intention of adding food. She just sniffed two mouthfuls to make sure the intruder was not threatening it, so she got into the clean clay pot in the corner and curled up.
"Introduction to this snake have a full sleep and come to deal with uninvited guests tomorrow."
