"That's not true. God is going to take away the snake god. Now the village is finally seeing better days." My mother laughed.
"How could this happen?" I muttered to myself, what on earth was going on.
I suddenly remembered that I seemed to faint after assassinating the black python.
Then, there is absolutely no way I can walk back here by myself.
Therefore, the only explanation is that Bai Haotian sent me back.
I turned to look at my mother and said, "Mom, where is my handbag?"
"The handbag, where is it!" My mother pointed to the cabinet not far away.
I opened the quilt, ran over with bare feet, and opened the zipper of my handbag, but there was nothing.
I anxiously reached in and rummaged around, but except for a few of my personal belongings, there was really no trace of the little white snake.
I couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed in my heart.
Maybe he left on his own.
After all, this black giant python has been dealt with, and he can be considered successful and retired.
"Yiyi, tell mom, did you encounter something at the Snake Temple last night? It would even attract thunder from the sky." My mom looked at me anxiously.
I was slightly stunned, naturally I didn't dare to tell her the truth.
And even if I say it, I'm afraid she may not believe it.
After all, what era is this, how could something like a snake spirit really exist?
I shook my head and said, "It's nothing. I just saw many snakes appearing in the Snake Temple, and then suddenly there was thunder and lightning, and the snakes were scared away."
"Is it really just like this?" My mother had an expression of disbelief.
I nodded and said, "Really, otherwise could I have come back unscathed?"
My mother was about to continue speaking when suddenly the door opened and my father and the old Taoist priest came in together.
"Girl from the Jiang family, are you awake?" the old Taoist priest said with a smile.
"Taoist." I shrank back with some fear.
"Hey, don't be afraid. I had no choice before. Now that the snake temple has been destroyed and the snakes have retreated, you can be regarded as a great hero of our village." After saying this, the old Taoist gave me a thumbs up.
I looked at my mother aside in surprise, and my mother explained: "Now there are no traces of those snakes, and the village has returned to normal."
"That's good." I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, girl from the Jiang family, let me ask you, last night, you were the only one in the Snake Temple. Did you see anyone else?" the old Taoist priest said.
"Who is that?" I pretended not to understand what he meant, but I felt a little nervous in my heart.
Maybe someone saw something.
After all, the two big snakes fought so fiercely last night and made such a big noise.
"That's weird. Didn't it mean that the snake temple caused thunder because something unclean came out of it?" The old Taoist priest murmured to himself.
"I, I don't know." I shook my head violently.
If my parents knew that the thunder was actually aimed at me that day, they would probably be scared to death.
"Taoist priest, please don't scare us with dirty things?" my dad said weakly.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said: "This is what the goddess in the next village said. She said that there were unclean things in our village, which caused the thunder."
"Goddess?" My expression changed slightly.
Could it be that the unclean things refer to the black giant python and Bai Haotian.
"What's wrong? One by one." My mother found that my fingers were cold and held them tightly.
I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, it's nothing."
The old Taoist priest glanced at me and said with confusion on his face: "Girl from the Jiang family, it rained so heavily last night. How did you come back?"
"Me?" I was stunned, how should I answer this.
Even I don't know how I came back.
"Well, Taoist priest, you see, our family has just woken up and is still feeling a little unwell. Why don't you ask me later." My dad opened his mouth to help me out.
The old Taoist priest nodded and said: "That's okay, I'm not in such a hurry anyway." After saying that, the old village chief put his hands behind his back and walked out.
After seeing off the old Taoist priest, my dad quickly closed the door, then walked over nervously, and said in a low voice: "Yiyi, no matter who asks you, how did you come back last night? Just say you left by yourself.
Don’t say anything else when you come back, okay?”
"Ah?" I looked at my mother inexplicably.
My mother also nodded sharply and said: "Yes, one by one."
I suddenly felt like my parents knew something.
"Dad, Mom, are you trying to hide something from me?" I asked in confusion.
"No." My parents said in unison.
wrong.
When they were talking, their eyes were a little evasive, and they were in such tacit understanding, there must be something wrong.
When I was about to ask.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was an old Taoist priest who had left and returned.
We were all shocked. Didn’t this person leave just now? Why did he come back?
But don't hear anything.
"Jiang Laosan, come out for a moment." came the old Taoist priest's voice.
He did not enter the house this time, but stood outside the door.
I looked around strangely, but I couldn't see the old Taoist priest.
I was still muttering in my heart that this old Taoist priest was so strange that he stood at the door and refused to enter the house.
"Okay, Taoist priest, I'll be out right away." My dad stood up as he said that, glanced at my mom, and then said:
"Yiyi, just stay in the house with your mother. I'll be back in a minute."
"Okay." I nodded.
After my dad left, I couldn't help but ask: "Mom, why did the Taoist priest ask my dad to go out?"
"It's okay, don't worry about it." My mother motioned for me to lie down, and then continued: "You just woke up, you need to rest more." After saying that, my mother pulled the quilt for me.
"Mom, I'm not sleepy anymore." I said.
"Lie down even if you're not sleepy. Don't move around." My mother forcibly pinned me down on the bed.
My dad went out for a long time, but he never showed any intention of coming back.
I felt vaguely uneasy in my heart.
At this time, a sudden cold wind blew outside, making the open windows rattle, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
"It looks like it's going to rain heavily again."
My mother's face changed slightly, she quickly stood up and walked to the window, closing all the windows.
"Mom, why hasn't dad come back yet?" I couldn't help but ask.
My mother lowered her head and looked at the watch on her wrist. My father had been out for about ten minutes.
My mother was probably a little worried too, so she took my hand and said, "Yiyi, you stay here alone for now. I'll go out to check on the situation right away and come back soon, okay?"
"No, Mom, I'll go with you." I said as I stood up.
I don't want to wait here alone.
Unexpectedly, I was grabbed by my mother and said, "No, Yiyi, you have to stay here, you can't go anywhere."
"Why?" I looked at my mother slightly surprised.
My mother directly avoided my eyes and said: "Anyway, I said you can't go out, you just can't go out."
"Mom, what is going on?" I was even more sure that my mother must know something.
"No, it's nothing." My mother shook her head violently, turned away and stopped looking at me, "Yiyi, be obedient, I'll go check on the situation and I'll be back soon."
After my mother finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out. She repeatedly told me, "Remember to lock the door. Don't open the door until your dad and I come back."
"But, Mom, I..." I wanted to say something else, but unexpectedly my mother slammed the door directly.
As I looked at the closed door, I felt more and more deeply that my parents must be hiding something from me on purpose.
After my mother left, my mood began to become unstable.
I don't know why, but I felt a little flustered at this time, as if something bad was about to happen.
"No, I still have to go out and check the situation."
But just when I walked to the door and was about to reach out to open the door, suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
I was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Who?" I whispered.
"Yiyi, it's me." My mother's voice came from outside.
When I heard this, I immediately stepped forward and opened the door. I saw my mother running in anxiously and locking the door.
At this time, my mother's face looked a little ugly, and it seemed that something had really happened.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
My mother quickly stepped forward and grabbed my hand.
At this moment, I can feel my mother's fingers being cold and piercing.
