Chapter 12 012 Getting ready to go back to my hometown
"Mom, you really heard me wrong. I just said that my tongue felt uncomfortable, so it hurt so much that I lay on the balcony counting stars all night."
"What's wrong with your tongue?" My mother's attention was successfully diverted by me in an instant.
"It's nothing, maybe I've got some internal heat, so it hurts a little when I eat." I said with a smile.
"Let me see if you didn't keep your mouth shut this time in the countryside and ate too many chili peppers?" My mother said and came over.
I hurriedly opened my mouth, acting like a good baby.
"Well, the tongue coating is a little red, it seems that I am really angry." My mother nodded.
"I'll go downstairs for you later to get some fire-reducing medicine. Remember to eat something lighter these days."
"I know." I nodded fiercely, and the matter finally came to an end.
"It's true that you kid didn't feel well at night and didn't know how to ask me to ask your dad to go downstairs to buy you medicine." My mother started to mutter again.
"Aren't I afraid of disturbing your rest? Besides, you have to get up early in the morning to make breakfast for us, and my dad has to get up early in the morning to go to work."
I have the attitude of a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
"You." My mother suddenly laughed.
"Hurry up and eat. After eating, go to the supermarket with me."
"What are you going to the supermarket for?" I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
I was really afraid that the thing was still following me. The feeling of being stared at was really uncomfortable.
"You kid, your grandpa's tenth anniversary is coming soon, why don't you prepare to buy something or something to go back and pay homage to?
Besides, there are still so many relatives in my hometown, so if I go back rarely, I should buy some decent things."
"Ah? Do you want to go back to your hometown?" I suddenly felt a little flustered.
This hometown is in the deep mountains and old forests, and it can compete with the Snake Village.
And there are a lot of snakes in my hometown. Every year when we go back, we always encounter several cross-legged snakes in the middle of the road, or hiding in the grass.
Those snakes stare at me coldly every time, which is really scary.
Because of this, I haven't been back for several years.
Every time I pay homage to my grandfather, it is my parents who go back.
Now that I was suddenly asked to go back, I was still a little scared.
We just got into trouble with a snake king here, so I might be getting some bad luck this time.
"Yes, your grandfather's death anniversary is in five days. The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and your dad is on holiday. We are going back the day after tomorrow to get ready, and by the way, we can clean your grandfather's grave."
My mother spoke.
"Ah, so sudden?" I felt like I hadn't come back to my senses at all, and I was about to go back again.
"Hey, Yiyi, you just have a week off this time. Why don't you come back with us? You should also pay homage to your grandfather..."
At this point, I paused for a moment, looked up, and then said, "The Snake Temple is still there. Your dad and I go there to worship every year. This time, you should go back and worship properly."
Pay your respects, after all these years you..."
At this point, my mother stopped talking.
In fact, I know deep down in my heart that what my mother means is that the snake statue has indirectly protected me, and I should be grateful.
Otherwise, I was afraid that our family would not be able to leave that small village.
"Mom, but I don't really want to go back." I expressed my attitude directly.
My mother glanced at me and probably saw the fear in my heart. She nodded and said, "Hey, it depends on you. Your dad and I go back every year anyway."
"Mom is the only one good in the world." I immediately hugged my mother gratefully and kissed her hard.
"You kid, why did you kiss me?" My mother immediately laughed happily.
After lunch, I followed my mother out.
When I walked to the big tree that was glowing green yesterday, I subconsciously looked up.
Fortunately, I didn't see anything.
Just when I was secretly rejoicing, suddenly a pair of green eyes slowly emerged from behind the leaves.
The moment our eyes met, I was so scared that I sat down on the ground.
"Mom."
"Yiyi, how come you fell down just fine?" My mother quickly helped me up from the ground.
"Mom, I'm fine, I just accidentally slipped the sole of my foot." I ignored the pain in my butt and got up from the ground.
At this time, I didn't dare to look at the tree anymore, so I grabbed my mother and ran away.
"Mom, hurry up and go to the supermarket. Today is Friday. There may be discounts and you can get some bargains."
"You kid, don't be anxious, walk slowly, the discounted items in the supermarket won't run away on their own," my mother said.
"Just hurry up." I didn't dare to stop for a moment, dragging my mother and quickly leaving the big tree.
I guessed that the snake king was really hiding in that tree.
I'm afraid he doesn't dare to come out during the day and will only show up at night.
So, I'm safe at least during the day.
When we came back from the supermarket, my mother and I were carrying big and small bags of things, which made me sweat profusely.
"Mom, didn't I tell you to buy less? Why do you still buy so much?" I couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Isn't it rare to go back to my hometown? No matter what, every family should go there." My mother explained.
"Why are we leaving? Every time we go back, those people are afraid to avoid us. They send us things, let alone drink water. They don't even let us in, so why go there?"
I felt very uncomfortable.
The so-called relatives and neighbors all avoided my home because of me.
Whoever contaminates our home will cause harm.
The goddess who saved my life before was bitten to death by a snake in the end, which is the best proof.
So every time we went back to our hometown, we didn't even have a place to stay, so we always stayed in hotels in the town.
It's just that the town is still a certain distance from my hometown, so I need to take a taxi back and forth to get there.
"You don't understand. This favor is done out of hand. Besides, it's all from the villagers. How can you say that?" My mother spoke for her relatives.
"It's up to you. Anyway, I won't be the one who gets upset when the time comes." I curled my lips helplessly.
"Okay, stop complaining and take everything home quickly." My mother urged me.
"Oh." I nodded and passed the big tree again.
This time I learned to be smart and prepared to walk to the opposite road without even looking at him.
As long as I don't look at it, I won't be afraid.
"Mom, let's go that way." I said and dragged my mother to the opposite side.
"Hey, Yiyi, you kid, why did you walk to the other side?" My mother shouted anxiously.
"Just walk to the opposite side, it feels more comfortable there." I said and continued walking quickly that way.
Little did I know that a car was speeding towards me at this moment.
By the time I reacted, it was already too late. The car was about to hit me head-on.
"One by one!!" My mother let out a heart-piercing cry.
I didn't know what was happening to me at the time, my feet seemed to have taken root, and I just stood there blankly waiting to be hit.
Seeing that the car was very close, suddenly a white light flashed in front of my eyes, and then I flew out directly, and the things in my hands flew away from my hands.
