The first one is about snakes.

Wu Huzi, a fellow who lived next door to him, felt weak all over after leaving work and could not stand firmly. His cloudy eyes were filled with fear.

Wu Huzi was in his thirties and in his prime. Xiao Wu was able to come here to work because of his recommendation.

Wu Huzi said that something happened while he was digging the foundation pit during the day.

When Wu Huzi was lighting a cigarette, his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't turn on the lighter.

Xiao Wu helped him light a cigarette, he stuffed it into his mouth shivering, and continued talking to Xiao Wu.

He said that it was a white snake, thick and long, thicker than a human waist and longer than the vines on the old locust tree.

As soon as the shovel went down, the ground was stained red with blood.

Wu Huzi was frightened. When he stopped the excavator and looked down, he saw a living snake on the spot!

A big snake with patterns!

The big snake looked directly at him with its vicious eyes and spat out a bright red letter from its mouth.

Wu Huzi was so frightened that his legs went weak. Fortunately, the piling workers went to work and shouted when they saw him standing still.

The snake narrowed its eyes and slithered away.

When Wu Huzi said this, he shook even more violently and shook the cigarette out of his mouth.

Xiao Wu comforted him that he was just an animal, so don’t take it seriously.

Wu Huzi suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Xiao Wu.

He said: "I remember very clearly that the living snake narrowed its eyes at me at the end. But where does the snake have eyelids? How did it narrow its eyes?"

Xiaowu's back felt cold, his heart felt hairy, and he was speechless.

Just listen to Wu Huzi saying to himself: "I have to go, I have to go. That snake must be targeting me..."

The next day, Wu Huzi resigned and went home.

Rumors began to spread at the construction site that it was because there was no sacrifice to heaven that this happened.

If the feng shui is broken, this place will be in danger.

The remaining snake will definitely come back for revenge.

The contractor didn't care about this. He just had the snake stewed to death, and the aroma spread for miles.

The food at the construction site was not good. It was just cabbage and radishes all day long. Occasionally it was meaty, but it was just some minced meat.

The workers haven't seen such a large piece of meat for a long time.

It wasn't just who stepped forward to serve a bowl of soup first, but then the workers ate the snake.

Xiao Wu licked his lips and his stomach growled.

But when he thought of Wu Huzi's horrified expression, he gave up the idea of ​​eating snakes.

The second thing was just yesterday.

Accidents on construction sites are becoming more and more frequent, and even if you are extremely careful, you cannot guarantee that you will survive today.

The workers who had the accident had one thing in common: they all ate snake meat that day!

People at the construction site are in panic, and construction progress is getting slower and slower.

Before leaving, several workers tried to persuade Xiao Wu to leave here. Even if he could go home and farm, it would be better than losing his life inexplicably.

Xiaowu hesitated.

At this time, Dong Zhonghua was afraid that there would be no one to work, so he raised the wages of the remaining workers by fifty yuan a day.

When Xiao Wu learned that he could get a higher salary if he stayed, he decided to stay.

Fifty, enough for him to eat steamed buns and pickles for many days.

He thought that he would never be so unlucky.

He is gambling with his life, gambling with his money.

He thought of his mother who asked him not to come back when she sent him away from the village; he thought of his father staying in the crops all day long, tending to the seedlings that would never grow again.

My mother's cry was so harsh, and my father's spine was so curved.

He shouldn't go back, and he doesn't dare to go back.

He has no way out.

Accidents always happen unexpectedly.

There have been no accidents at the construction site for several days. I heard that the big boss brought back a magic weapon and calmed the big snake.

The rumors gradually subsided and everyone gained momentum.

Xiao Wu was dusting the dust carefully and didn't notice that the sky was getting darker and that everyone around him had returned to the dormitory.

The cold wind blew by, as if there was something hidden in the wind, and there was a wailing sound.

By the time Xiao Wu came to his senses, it was completely dark.

All the workers who were close to him resigned, and the rest were unfamiliar to him, so no one reminded him.

Xiao Wu tightened his clothes, feeling a little scared.

He turned on the flashlight on his cell phone and quickly ran to the dormitory.

There is a distance from where I work to my dormitory, but it’s not too far.

It usually takes about ten minutes to walk.

However, today, Xiao Wu felt that this distance was so long, so long that he felt a little strange.

He stopped and looked carefully through the faint light of his cell phone.

The surrounding area is obviously a construction site, why does it feel so strange?

The trees here are so tall and stand in the dark.

They were silent and said nothing, like corpses that were not yet dead. When the wind blew over, they swayed their branches and let out a low cry.

Xiao Wu swallowed and remembered that his mother once told him to be careful when walking at night. No matter what you see, just pretend you didn't see it. Follow the road and don't stop. You will always reach home.

Xiao Wu walked forward quickly, his speed getting faster and faster, and he even started running.

He ran and ran, obviously seeing the dormitory right in front of him, but he couldn't get there.

The surrounding scenery is getting stranger and stranger, and the surrounding roads are gradually becoming smoother.

The phone's light flashed and a battery shortage warning sounded.

The ten bars of electricity dropped quickly, my legs kept running, and my heart was in panic.

Finally, the phone was turned off.

It was so dark all around that I couldn't see my fingers, and even the wind had stopped.

Xiao Wu raised his head and saw the moon hiding in the clouds without a trace.

Suddenly, he saw a bright light in the distance, yellow and unclear.

He hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Is there anyone there? Let's go back together..."

He stopped before he finished speaking, as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or come down, and it was burning and painful.

He clearly saw a copper basin placed in the middle of the road, and paper was being burned in the copper basin.

Yellow paper and gold ingots were scattered in the copper basin, and the flames were so high that they seemed to be as tall as a person.

Xiaowu was so frightened that his legs became weak, his back felt cold, and there was a chill all over his body.

There is obviously no one around, so who is burning paper here?

The dark wind gusted, the flames soared, and the "cracking" sound mixed with the howling of the swaying tree shadows made people's scalp numb.

Xiaowu was extremely scared. The more scared he was, the more he would think wildly.

He seemed to see the burning yellow paper with his mouth open, crying in the flames.

They are shouting for help.

But where did the yellow paper come from?!

Xiao Wu was so frightened by his fantasy that he broke into a cold sweat and looked around.

The owl on the tree opened its two round eyes, bright green; the dandelion under the tree swayed its frivolous body, white.

In front of him was a strange copper basin burning paper, and behind him was endless darkness.

He gritted his teeth. When getting married, he had to step over a brazier. Crossing over a brazier was a sign that all evil spirits had been eliminated, so nothing would happen today!
