"It's obviously summer, why is it so cold?" I subconsciously hugged myself tightly behind my back.
I knew that this was the territory of the black python, but I didn't know how he planned to deal with me.
Are you going to eat me directly, or are you going to cut my bones and eat my flesh?
In fact, I still hope that he can swallow me well in one gulp, at least there will be no pain.
It's just that dying here seems a bit miserable.
I raised my head and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar snake temple in front of me. I was afraid that my grandfather would never have imagined that the snake temple he built would become his granddaughter’s cemetery.
I stood there with my hands folded and thought wildly for about two minutes. It was quiet and there was no movement at all.
I find it very strange.
What's the meaning?
Are you not going to eat mine?
I bravely took a look around, and there really wasn't even a shadow of a ghost.
So, this black giant python is not here now?
I felt a little relieved in my heart.
I just broke into a cold sweat because of my nervousness, and now I feel a chill on my back.
After I shuddered, I looked up at the snake god statue inside the temple.
This is very different from the Snake Lord statue in the Snake Village. It doesn't look like a human head with a snake body, but a normal python.
It is said that this snake statue was brought back by my grandfather from other places. It is a huge black python sitting on a lotus seat.
There was even a long snake spit coming out of his mouth, which looked very majestic.
I was already sure that this black python was probably the man in black who entered my dream.
No wonder, but that guy has the final say when it comes to his territory.
It seems that all this is in his plan.
I looked up and looked around the Snake Temple. It was clean and tidy, and there were offerings in front of the offering table. They looked fresh at first glance.
I'm afraid it was done by the villagers who were attacked by snakes.
After all, since our family moved away, basically no one has taken care of it.
I looked at the snake statue above my head warily, but there didn't seem to be any movement.
He tried so hard to get me here, it must be for some purpose.
But now that I am here, there is no trace of him. What does this mean?
When I was thinking about it, suddenly the voice of Lord Snake came from the air.
"He's not here now?"
"Ah? What?" I subconsciously opened the handbag in my hand and found that the little white snake raised its head and was about to crawl out.
I hurriedly opened the bag, and then he smoothly took it out.
After the little white snake climbed to the ground, it twisted its white body slightly, and then climbed onto the altar table filled with sacrifices.
After that, he just started eating on his own.
"This?" I looked at Lord Snake in surprise.
Isn’t it said that colleagues are enemies?
Why didn't he seem afraid at all?
He is the snake god of Snake Village, and this black giant python is the snake god here.
He dared to blatantly steal the other party's tribute. Is this really appropriate?
After Mr. Snake ate a piece of pastry, he turned to look at me and said, "He won't show up until night, so yours is safe for the time being."
"Oh." I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
So, I still have enough time to think of countermeasures to save my life?
At this time, Lord Snake started eating by himself again, and seemed to be very hungry.
I secretly thought to myself, could it be that you have been following me for the past two days and haven't eaten anything?
Then this Snake Lord must be having a very miserable time.
Just when I was thinking wildly, suddenly an apple flew directly towards me.
"Caught it."
I was so frightened that I reflexively reached out and caught it.
"Eat something, otherwise you will be busy at night."
Lord Snake spoke quietly, still minding his own business eating the plate of cakes.
It seems that he likes eating cakes very much.
I took a look at the apple in my hand, and to be honest, I still felt a little disgusted.
After all, anything touched by a snake will contain a lot of bacteria, right?
I'm afraid I'll have diarrhea after eating.
Seeing that I refused to eat for a while, Snake Lord turned to look at me again and said:
"Not hungry?"
"No." I shook my head violently.
"Does that mean you don't like eating?"
"No." I shook my head again, but I didn't dare to tell the truth for fear that he would swallow me up.
Lord Snake snorted coldly, ignored me, and continued to work hard on the plate of pastries.
I swallowed subconsciously and felt a little hungry.
Even if you die, you have to be a full-fledged ghost.
After much hesitation, I quickly walked to the front of the tribute, put the apple back in its original position and said.
"I don't like eating apples very much. This is good."
As I said that, I quickly took away the eggs that had not been touched by the snake king and walked to the steps on the other side to sit down.
I'm afraid, this is the only one here that feels slightly better.
You can still eat it after peeling off the shell.
Mr. Snake didn't bother to pay attention to me and was still engrossed in eating.
Soon, a table full of pastries was swallowed up by the Snake King.
I was curious as to how such a big snake could have such a big appetite and eat several plates of cakes.
After Lord Snake finished eating, he climbed on the altar table and inhaled the white smoke from the three red incense sticks on it.
He looked intoxicated and felt like he was smoking a cigarette.
I stared at him curiously, not understanding what he was doing.
After about a minute or so, he stretched a long way and then said something.
"It's so comfortable."
"Can you tell me what you were doing just now? Why did you smell the white smoke up there?" I couldn't help but asked curiously.
"This is an offering. Eating it will help me recover."
He spoke quietly.
"Well, didn't you say that you can use my body's body temperature to heal wounds?" I said in surprise.
Mr. Snake just rolled his eyes at me, as if he was saying I was an idiot.
I immediately realized that I had been deceived by this guy.
I was so angry that I was itching my teeth, but there was nothing I could do about him.
It seemed that he also noticed the anger in my eyes, and said quietly: "This thing is coming tonight to make you fulfill your previous promise. You have to be careful."
I immediately said with a tight look on my face: "What do you mean? What kind of promise?"
I'm confused.
"Have you forgotten the ten-year contract with him?" Lord Snake looked at me coldly.
"What a ten-year contract? I have no idea what you are talking about?" I couldn't help but laugh.
How could I have a ten-year contract with a snake spirit? I was kicked in the head by a donkey.
"Ten years ago, did you drop three drops of blood to worship this thing?"
As he spoke, Lord Snake raised his head and glanced at the snake statue behind him.
I was suddenly startled, nodded sharply and said, "It seems so."
Snake Lord snorted coldly and said: "That's right, since you have promised to a ten-year contract with him, either you will marry him and become his woman. Or you will pay him with your life and become his snake."
The mother of the womb.”
"What?"
I was so frightened that I opened my mouth wide open.
