I couldn't give it to you, so I just took my phone and hurried to the living room.
"You won't let me see it, but I insist on seeing it."
As I said that, I clicked on the screen, wanting to see what kind of breaking news could actually scare my mother like this.
"One by one!" My dad wanted to stop me, but it was already too late.
Because I have seen a shocking headline on the front page of the news - "A man came home in the middle of the night and was bitten to death by a snake."
When I clicked on the news, an unsightly photo of a dead body came into view.
The man was bitten by something all over his body, and there were wounds and blood everywhere.
I was stunned immediately.
Because I recognize this mark, it is the mark of a snake's teeth.
It is said that this man was bitten to death by a snake downstairs at home last night. When he was found, his whole body was covered with snakes.
Finally, after the firefighters arrived at the scene, they used some snake repellent tools to drive the snake away.
On one side was a photo of the man during his lifetime.
After seeing it, I was so frightened that my body trembled slightly.
Isn't this the perpetrator who almost hit me yesterday afternoon?
Unexpectedly, just one night later, he was already dead, and he was bitten by a snake.
I suddenly felt a pain in my heart, which reminded me of the two big men who were besieged by snakes when I was in Snake Village.
I'm afraid that if the firefighter arrives a little later, there will only be a pile of bloody bones left.
"Yiyi, it's okay. We won't watch it anymore. We won't watch it anymore." My mother came over and snatched the phone from my hand and handed it to my father who was standing aside, motioning for him to take the phone away.
Then she helped me sit on the sofa nearby and said, "Yiyi, actually we are very sad about what happened, so don't think too much about it." My mother comforted me.
She thought I was sad because of my brief interaction with the driver yesterday, but she had no idea what I was really thinking in my heart.
"Yes, Yiyi." My dad also echoed, presumably he also knew the identity of the driver.
I didn't say anything, I just stood up shakily and said, "Dad, Mom, I have a headache. I'm going to go back to my room to rest."
After saying that, I got up and quickly returned to the bedroom, closed the bedroom door, locked it, and then slid directly along the door panel and sat on the floor.
Because I know in my heart that the driver died because of me.
Only now do I understand what the people from Snake Village said at that time.
"But no one can get close to anyone who is favored by the Snake Lord, otherwise they will anger the Snake Lord and suffer revenge."
The two villagers before were like this, and the driver is like this now.
So, this matter has something to do with him?
Thinking of this, my heart ached inexplicably.
I didn't expect that he would be so cruel and would kill innocent people for his own selfish desires.
Sure enough, animals are animals, and their nature is difficult to tame.
At this time, I actually hated him.
The worries and uneasiness I had about him had all disappeared by now.
Reluctantly, I took out my phone and checked online for reports about the deceased driver.
There are quite a few videos taken by citizens watching the fun.
In the video, the man was lying on the ground in pain, being bitten and attacked by countless snakes.
Even though there were many people nearby carrying things to help drive them away, they had little effect.
I was so scared that I covered my thin lips with both hands to prevent myself from crying.
Soon, I couldn't bear to continue reading, so I exited the interface.
At this time, everyone is talking about the driver who was bitten by a snake.
It was said that the driver was probably besieged by the snakes because he had done something immoral.
Some people even said that this was because the driver had killed a snake and was retaliated by the snakes.
Others said that he suffered this fate because he ate snake meat.
…
Anyway, there are various versions, but my version is not available.
I don't know whether I should be happy or sad.
Suddenly, I felt a little angry, so I opened the door and rushed out.
"Yiyi, what are you doing?" My parents were frightened and chased after me.
"Mom and Dad, I'm fine, it's just at the door." I said and searched frantically in the yard.
Finally, the target was set on the clothes drying pole not far away, which my mother used to dry clothes on weekdays.
Without any hesitation, I picked up the clothes drying pole and hurried out of the yard.
"Hey, Yiyi, what are you doing? What are you doing with this clothes drying pole?" My dad saw something was wrong and followed us.
"What's wrong with this child?" My mother also chased him out anxiously.
"Dad, Mom, please leave me alone, I'm just letting out my anger."
As I said that, I ran under the big tree, raised the clothes drying pole in my hand, and stabbed at the tree randomly.
He was still shouting: "If you have the ability, come down, come down."
"Did you do that thing? Was it you?"
At this moment, I wanted to cut that snake into pieces.
In my eyes, he is a murderer and a nightmare.
When my dad saw this, he was so frightened that he quickly came over and snatched the clothes drying rod from my hand and said, "Yiyi, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking nonsense?"
"Dad, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
I reached out to grab the clothes drying pole, but he avoided it.
"Yiyi, be good, stop fooling around, let the neighbors laugh, and come back with us quickly."
"Yes, Yiyi, come back with us quickly."
As I said that, I was dragged back by my dad and mom.
After returning to the house, my dad waited for me to calm down before he asked me.
"Yiyi, do you know anything about the driver being surrounded by snakes?"
I didn't say anything, just lowered my head and bit my thin lips.
"Yiyi, are you talking?" My mother also became anxious.
Because I have been different from ordinary people since I was a child, they have always been worried about me.
Seeing how unusual I was this time, I must have guessed something.
"One by one." My dad reached out and held my hand and said softly: "No matter what happens to you, your parents hope that you can share it with us, because we will always be a family."
Hearing my dad's words, I instantly lost my guard. Then he cried and hugged me and said, "Dad, that driver shouldn't die, he shouldn't die."
My dad was stunned and exchanged looks with my mom. My mom got up and closed all the windows and doors in the house.
"Yiyi, can you tell your parents what is going on?"
I know that my parents are very concerned about me and worried that something will happen to me.
But I dare not tell them what is related to him at this time, otherwise I will really harm them.
"I, I don't know." I shook my head violently and sobbed softly.
"One by one." My dad looked at me with a pleading expression.
I shook my head violently again and said, "Dad, I really don't know, I just think he doesn't deserve to die."
I lied again, but I had no choice but to do this in order to protect them.
My dad saw me like this and knew that I definitely didn’t want to say anything.
"Well, since you don't want to say it, forget it. Your parents won't force you."
"Yeah, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
My mother also nodded and indicated.
"Yeah." I nodded sharply, then hugged my parents and said softly: "Dad, Mom, I love you and will always love you."
"Okay, we will love you forever too."
The whole family just hugged and cried together.
In the afternoon, my parents will prepare to leave for their hometown.
They were a little worried about me being alone, after all, my current condition was very bad.
They asked me to go back with them so that I could be taken care of.
But I shook my head and said I didn't want to go back.
Actually, deep down in my heart, I care about the dream last night.
Although I don’t know whether it is true or false, it is the safest thing not to go back.
Seeing my persistence, my parents didn't say anything more. They just told me to call them if I needed anything.
Just as he was about to set off, my dad unexpectedly received a call from an old Taoist priest in the village.
Before I said a few words, my dad's face became extremely ugly.
I made a sound in my heart at the side, thinking that it might not be good.
Sure enough, after my dad hung up the phone, he looked at my mother and me with a solemn expression.
