Looking down, Da Qiangzi's face instantly turned pale.
A big snake with black and white stripes was lying under him. The snake opened its blood-red mouth and bit him on the stomach.
Pain came from here, and he could even clearly feel several of the snake's sharp teeth digging into his flesh.
A tingling sensation swept through his body, and the strong man's cry, like a pig being slaughtered, spread throughout the village.
"Ah-ah--"
The black and white snake bit him for more than ten seconds before slowly getting out from under him.
He looked up at this moment and saw Liu Ruxiang holding a big red and one black snake in her arms, and he understood everything in his heart.
Fear lingered in his mind, and he couldn't understand how the woman in front of him could treat such a venomous snake as a toy.
"Help, help!" Da Qiangzi shouted, crying in pain.
At the same time, he was more worried about snake venom.
I glanced at the snake that had just left. It had black and white patterns all over its body. It looked like it was clearly the feared Bungarus snake!
It's no joke that one drop of venom can kill ten cows. Once bitten, they basically won't see the sun tomorrow.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
Amid Daqiang's cries, many people came one after another.
Including the Big Qiangzi, his younger brother, and the Little Qiangzi also came.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoqiang walked up and was immediately startled by the snake in Liu Ruxiang's arms.
"You woman, where did you get the snake? It's so vicious!"
Little Qiangzi didn't dare to come forward, so he stood nearby and started talking, shouting non-stop.
"If anything happens to my brother, I will chop you with a shovel, you stinky bitch!"
Liu Ruxiang was not annoyed and never said a word in reply to him, just clapped her hands lightly.
A big black and white snake fell from the tree and fell from the sky and hit Xiao Qiangzi.
The cold touch and the black and white patterns collided together, and the huge impact directly frightened Xiao Qiang out of his wits.
Before he could react, he bit him on the arm under the watchful eyes of other villagers.
"Ah-ouch-"
Xiaoqiang's screams were even more shrill than his brother's. To put it in a vivid way, it was like waking up in the middle of the night and suddenly finding a smelly old sow next to the pillow, with a bit of a frightened smell.
The villagers in the village had all been bullied by the Qiangzi brothers to some extent. Even if they were on good terms with each other, they were so frightened to see Liu Ruxiang waving his hands like a big snake that they didn't dare to speak out.
Including the big snake on Xiaoqiang's body, they all crawled to Liu Ruxiang's feet, coiled up around her, looked around alertly, and spit out the scarlet letter from his mouth.
While the two Qiangzi brothers were weeping bitterly, Liu Ruxiang finally spoke slowly: "You two brothers have been misbehaving for a long time. In the land of fish and meat, you beat and scold your wives at every turn. There is no humanity at all. There are many crimes, one of which is the former After death, he cursed his family members, such as Fan Mingsi and Wuyue Taishan; secondly, he did not follow the rules of husband, ruined his wife's house, did not listen to his wife's words, behaved unscrupulously, made utterances that were ungrateful, slandered, beaten and humiliated, and did not care about good relationships. , leading to the disobedience of heaven and the wrath of ghosts and gods; third, stealing other people's property and unclean hands and feet; fourth, bullying the old and the young, disrespecting..."
Words of condemnation fell into the ears of the villagers nearby, and they couldn't help but nod.
"Even if I don't take action today, you will suffer retribution sooner or later. But since you two have not committed any crime that is outrageous and resentful, I will spare your life, but you two must go to my disciple's house to clean it immediately. Clean the house thoroughly. Then I will naturally give you the antidote to the snake venom, otherwise you will both be poisoned and die by tomorrow morning."
After Liu Ruxiang finished speaking, the Qiangzi brothers nodded in agreement.
I turned around and staggered home, grabbing a broom, shovel, and rag along the way. I hurriedly ran into my house and kept cleaning the chicken manure stains.
Some people in the village wanted to applaud the two brothers when they saw them.
By this time, it was already lunch time. Liu Ruxiang brought instant noodles and canned meat from the car, and we asked an uncle to borrow hot water to cook them.
As soon as she finished eating, Liu Ruxiang took the magic weapon and asked me to lead the way to the strange pond.
What is coming will always come, there is no way to avoid it.
After passing through the overgrown path, the two of us got into a forest.
As soon as I came in, I suddenly felt that the air had become cooler. The big trees above my head completely blocked the sunlight. There were shadows under the trees, and it was even a little dark.
"Where? Do you remember the way?"
"Let me think about it, it should be...not far ahead."
After turning around a few times, I forced my way through the weeds. After walking out of the forest, I saw a large row of tall persimmon trees in the middle of the rice field not far away.
"Right there."
When we get there, we can see an abandoned pond behind the persimmon tree.
The color of the pond water is yellow with green, almost opaque. There are overgrown weeds on the shore, and there are also many water amaranth and duckweed. Almost half of the pond is covered, and you can't see what's underneath.
Today's weather is gloomy and stuffy, and it's very uncomfortable to walk outside. When I get to the pond, I always feel panicked and have an inexplicable palpitations.
Liu Ruxiang took the bag from my hand and took out an apple.
"Let me see if what you said is true." Liu Ruxiang said to herself, then glanced at me and threw the apple into the pond with a flick of her hand.
The water splashed in all directions, and the ripples continued one after another, and they could not dissipate for a long time.
The red apple then floated in the water, swaying gently.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed by little by little, and I counted it in my mind. Until the minute was almost over, the apple was still floating on the water, without sinking even one minute.
In my impression, when my father took me to visit graves when I was a child, the apples he threw were like stones and would not stay on the water for a while.
Liu Ruxiang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at me.
I don’t know how to explain it. Just when I thought that the strange thing in the pond had disappeared, suddenly, there was a ripple in the position of the red apple, as if a black shadow was approaching.
Then in the blink of an eye, the apple on the water surface turned over, and a large piece of its original position at the bottom suddenly disappeared, as if someone had taken a bite from under the water.
The ripples dispersed.
The entire pond returned to deathly silence.
I turned around in panic and looked at Liu Ruxiang.
She also looked at me, and they looked at each other. Then she coughed slightly and said with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
"That apple..."
"I took that bite at noon. You didn't see it when I threw it away." Liu Ruxiang said calmly.
