The half-human, half-snake baby actually grabbed the little snake that had just emerged from its shell and stuffed it into its mouth.
No matter how hard the little snake struggled, it still couldn't escape the fate of being eaten by the little milk baby like a snack on the spot.
The half-human, half-snake little milk baby's mouth was filled with blood, and you kept making crisp chewing sounds in his mouth.
shock!
Horrified!
fear!
I was so frightened that all the hairs on my body stood up.
Is this considered fratricide?
But from beginning to end, Ruan Hongyu, the mother, said nothing, just sat there quietly, watching her child eat her child.
"You...you...you" I was so shocked that I was speechless for a while.
Ruan Hongyu looked up at me with a smile and said, "Don't use this expression. You will know later. This is a common thing."
"What?" I was so frightened that a shiver ran down my spine.
"Of all the children born by snakes, only one can live alone. Only the one who is strong enough will be left behind, and the rest will become the other's nourishment." Ruan Hongyu explained.
"You...you mean that all these other children will be...by him." I pointed at the half-human, half-snake little milk baby with a mouth full of blood, and then continued: "Here you go...
Lose?"
"That's right." Ruan Hongyu nodded and said, "Only by eating all his limbs can he finally have the chance to transform into a human being."
"No, isn't it?"
"Is it so cruel?"
I opened my eyes wide in disbelief, and my hand unconsciously touched my lower abdomen.
"Does that mean that the child in my belly will become like this in the future? The weak will eat the strong, and only one can survive alone."
This... is really hard for me to accept.
The palms and backs of these hands are full of flesh. Which mother can really give them up?
"Ever since we followed them, our fate has been determined." Ruan Hongyu said helplessly.
us?
At this moment, I clearly understand that Ruan Hongyu has classified me and her into the same type of people.
We are all women who have been possessed by snake spirits, and we are also women who are pregnant with snake fetuses.
At first glance, it seems that our destinies are very similar.
But the only difference is that I have never given birth to a snake fetus.
And she
I looked down at the half-human, half-snake baby that had eaten the little snake, and then looked at the snake eggs on the ground that had not yet broken out of their shells.
It all gave me some creepy feelings.
In the future, will Bai Haotian let me keep giving birth to little snakes like her?
Whether it's a snake egg or a half-human, half-snake monster, it has to be born.
Thinking of this, my whole body became a little stiff.
I don't want to become such a tool person.
"He seems to be treating you well." Suddenly Ruan Hongyu spoke quietly again.
"Ah?" I heard something baffling, so I came back to my senses and looked at her.
"At least he took good care of you." Ruan Hongyu said lightly, a bitter smile quickly flashed across the corner of her mouth.
I lowered my head slightly and looked at the white robe I was wearing, and I knew what she meant.
Compared to her ragged clothes and half-covered clothes, this is the best for me.
I looked up at her shabby clothes again. After a moment of hesitation, I took off my robe and put it on her body and said:
"I'll give you this dress."
"Thank you." Ruan Hongyu smiled at me gratefully.
"It's okay." I waved my hand.
At this time, I have completely forgotten Bai Haotian's words, the white robe is for me to block the human smell on my body.
"How did you get here?" I asked curiously.
Looking at her outfit, I'm afraid she just married this thing.
"You also saw that I was sent here to be married." Ruan Hongyu said helplessly.
"Marrying?"
"Did you marry him voluntarily?" I subconsciously raised the volume of my voice.
"No." Ruan Hongyu shook her head and said, "I was forced to marry him."
"Forced to marry a snake?" I looked at her with a strange expression on my face.
"Yes." Ruan Hongyu nodded gently, and then recounted the past events.
It turned out that she had been following this snake for more than ten years.
Ten years ago, the village was attacked by a swarm of snakes, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.
The village chief said that they had violated the snake fairy's taboo and had to appease the snake fairy.
After that, a fifteen-year-old girl was selected from the village chief and given as a sacrifice to the snake fairy to quell the snake disaster.
Ruan Hongyu's family was very poor. Her father died of illness early, and her mother took her, a younger brother, and a younger sister to make ends meet.
Because there is no breadwinner in the family, the conditions of the family are naturally conceivable.
Almost all of them had one meal but no next meal.
At that time, the village proposed that if any family was willing to give a daughter as a sacrifice to the snake fairy, each family would donate a certain amount of money to that family, which was regarded as compensation.
She couldn't bear to see her younger brothers and sisters suffer, so she was willing to be the sacrifice.
Although her mother was very reluctant, the family's financial conditions were indeed limited.
And I heard that after making sacrifices to the Snake Fairy, her family can take away the sacrifices made to the Snake Fairy every month in the village.
So, she put on her wedding dress, just like an ordinary girl getting married, and was carried to the entrance of the cave by eight people in the village on a sedan chair.
Then the snake showed up and stalked her that night.
Later, she was forced to stay in the cave and live with the snake.
However, at the beginning, the snake was pretty good to her.
He would climb out of the cave to get him food, drink and so on.
Not long after, she became pregnant.
Her belly was getting heavier day by day, and she was so frightened that she was at a loss. The snake spirit had been accompanying her every day.
During her first pregnancy, she actually gave birth to several little snakes.
Those things crawled out directly from underneath her and along her legs, and she was frightened at the time.
After those little snakes were born, she became pregnant so many times that she couldn't even remember them clearly.
Anyway, I am either on the way to pregnancy or in the middle of pregnancy.
However, every time after that, a few snake eggs were laid.
This made the snake spirit become more and more angry, and she no longer had the same pity for him as before. When he pestered her, it seemed as if he was deliberately punishing her, leaving her covered with bruises.
Until more than ten days ago, she gave birth again. Unexpectedly, this time she gave birth to a half-human, half-snake monster.
She was also frightened at that time, but the snake spirit was extremely happy.
I held the baby and watched it for a long time.
After the child was born, he began to eat his brothers and sisters who had broken out of their shells.
The first time she saw it, she was scared to death.
But gradually I became accustomed to it.
After hearing these experiences of hers, I was speechless for a while.
Compared with her, I am indeed much luckier.
It's just that Bai Haotian is considerate to me in that regard and takes good care of me on weekdays.
"So, it's been ten years since you got pregnant with this half-human, half-snake child?" I suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Yeah." She nodded gently.
"But...but I heard that women can become pregnant with snake fetuses only if they have sex with them willingly. So what are you doing?" I felt a little embarrassed to continue.
