Chapter 75 Snake Creatures
During this period of time, the second grandfather has been regretting what happened when he went out to make a living. He thinks that without those things at that time, nothing would happen now.

How could Jiang Li not understand the meaning behind what he said, so he called Second Grandpa aside and said a few words, gave Second Grandpa some things, and then came back and said to Uncle, "Let's go."

Leaving this place where I was born and raised, I am really a little bit reluctant, and there is also a second grandfather who is dying of old age here.

But this is something that Jiang Li nodded and agreed to, and I have no room to refuse.

Because my mother was bought by my grandparents, my grandparents were afraid that my mother would run back, so I chose a place far away. My mother’s hometown is not in the same town as us, and the road to the past is even farther than entering the city. It took a full day of walking to get there.

At the beginning, my grandparents agreed to sell my mother. From this behavior, it can be inferred that their family is not in any rich place. As expected, it is also a small mountain village.

I thought it would be better than our village when my uncle tried his best to take me there.

But when I got to this village, I was taken aback.

This village is located in a mountain depression, and there are only three families in total. The land here is not yellow, but black, but the road here is much better than ours.

When my uncle saw me staring blankly at the land, he said: "There used to be a black coal mine here, and there were quite a lot of people, but there was no more coal in the cave, and the people had almost left. Now there are only three families living here." After a while, the other two families will also move out, and I'm also looking for a new residence for your grandparents, so it's good if you come, you can add some popularity to this place."

When his uncle said this, King Youshi looked around, and when he finished speaking, King Youshi pointed to a dark hole in the valley and asked, "Is that the mine you mentioned?"

Uncle said kindly: "Yes."

The Walking Corpse King immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang Li, and then said obsequiously, "Can you go in with him to have a look?"

Jiang Li responded nonchalantly, "Go by yourself."

The Wandering Corpse King said, this time he didn't bother Jiang Li too much, and went directly to the mine. Uncle didn't know that the Wandering Corpse King had a background, so he just treated her as a little girl, so he immediately stopped her and said No one has entered the mine for a long time, and it may collapse at any time.

But the corpse king ran so fast that he probably didn't hear his uncle's shout at all.

Uncle was worried that something would happen to the corpse king, so he went with the corpse king. Let us go to grandpa and grandma's house first.

After his uncle left, Jiang Li looked at the village again, looked at it for a while and said, "Go into the house, I've been busy these days."

Every time Jiang Li said that, I knew something bad would happen, so I hurriedly asked him what was going on, Jiang Li had nothing to hide from me, looked at me and smiled: "You really think this person is Your uncle? After so many years, if he really wanted to come to your mother, he would have come here long ago. I promised him to come with him, just to see what he really wanted to do. Besides, this village is lifeless, obviously It is a place of death, not a place where the living live."

When I looked at the village, it was rather desolate, and I didn't feel anything else, but after Jiang Li said so, I looked at the direction where my uncle left, and the dark mine, and I felt a little weird.

Jiang Li urged me to enter the house, followed this road, and when I reached the door of the mud house, I saw the people inside.

Two gray-haired old men were sitting in the room. When they saw Jiang Li and I standing at the door, they immediately stood up and asked, "Is that Chen Xiao?"

I thank you.

Then they came over quickly, one hugged me, the other hugged Jiang Li, and then they started to cry.

This crying sound didn't look like a pretense at all, even Jiang Li was surprised.

The two old people cried and shouted: "It's been so many years, no one is alive or dead, you can count it, this is also Wu Fei's son?"

The person who might be my grandmother hugged Jiang Li for a while, then held Jiang Li's face and asked kindly.

Before Jiang Li could speak, my grandfather said, "She hasn't been married for so many years, how could it be, nonsense."

Grandma smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Li was also a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm Chen Xiao's master, bring him here to see the second elder."

Hearing that he is my master, their expressions began to change: "Where is the Chen family?"

Jiang Li hesitated for a while, and then said grace.

Jiang Li's nod of admission made the faces of these two old people change suddenly, the enthusiasm just now completely disappeared, but they looked at me again, smiled kindly again, changed the previous rigid expression, and invited us into the room.

The room is deserted, with very little furniture, but there are quite a lot of stools and chairs in the room. The most important thing is that there is a TV set in the corner of the room.

Our village is relatively backward. There used to be a black-and-white TV in the village. After the villagers finished their farm work, if they were not tired, they would go to the villagers' homes with TVs to watch TV.

I am still young, and there are few things that can entertain me. After seeing that TV, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Grandpa and grandma were extremely happy, and they were at a loss when they sat down. Looking at them, they were really happy.

I have some doubts about Jiang Li's words. He said that this place is not lived by living people. Is it true?
However, when my grandfather saw that I was looking at the TV in the corner without looking away, he smiled and said, "It's been broken for several years, and I haven't repaired it, so it can't be turned on."

I'm a little disappointed.

Jiang Li patted my head and told me to concentrate on talking to my grandparents.

There are only a few topics to talk about, either about my mother or about me.

I told my uncle about my mother, but I dare not tell them, so I made up a few lies at random, and they believed them to be true, knowing that we had driven all day today, and they brought us water to wash our faces, how enthusiastic and enthusiastic they were .

Because when we got here, it was already dusk, and after chatting for a while, there was no light outside, so grandpa and grandma began to worry about uncle.

Jiang Li volunteered and said, "I'll go find them, it's so late, don't let anything happen."

Jiang Li stood up, and I followed suit.

Grandpa and grandma said: "Chen Xiao, you want to go too?"

Jiang Li smiled: "He has been by my side for a long time, and he can't leave me for half a step, so let him follow, nothing will happen if I'm here."

Grandpa and grandma let us go, but because they were too worried, they wanted to go with us, so Jiang Li persuaded them to come down.

Grandpa and grandma didn't have a flashlight at home, so we just lit a torch and went to the mine.

After leaving the room, Jiang Li looked back and said, "They are probably really grandparents."

"But didn't you say that this is not a place where the living live?" I asked him.

Jiang Li said: "Although they may really be your grandparents, I didn't say they would be living people. The gaps in that TV are full of dust. It has clearly not been used for several years, and most living people live in such a place. In a remote place, it is impossible not to prepare a flashlight."

I thought about it, and it really is.

Jiang Li also said: ""Tian Zang" recorded a creature called "Wangjin Woman". At that time, the Shang and Zhou dynasties were in full swing, and most of the men were sent to the battlefield, but few of them came back alive. Yes, and at that time, people’s lives were so precious that no one would know when they died, but their wives would wait for them to come back until they died too.”

"and then?"

"Many of these women died unconsciously, and they didn't even know that they were dead. They only had one thought, and that was to wait for their men to come back, or to find their own men. Then At that time, the battlefield was in a place called 'Jin', so even if these women died, they would always look in the direction of Jin, or keep walking in the direction of Jin, unless someone told them that they were dead Then they will react. So at that time, I often see some women walking in the direction of their eyes. Some women are still walking when their legs are polished, until the whole body is completely polished, or others tell them the truth. , they will stop. When Jiang Shang compiled "Tian Zang" later, he called this creature between the living and the dead "Wangjin woman", and your grandparents are also this kind of creature."

I listened to these words, but my nose was a little sore.

Not only did I sympathize with those women, but I also sympathized with the grandparents who were guarding the house. I felt really uncomfortable, so I said, "Then we won't tell them that they are dead, so that they can live forever."

Jiang Li smiled: "If you wander around the world for a long time, the world will become intolerable, and you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated as a human being."

I thanked him, I understood what Jiang Li meant, he still decided to find a time to tell his grandpa and grandma about their death.

Although I have a relationship with my grandparents, this is the first time we have met, and we don't have such a deep relationship. It is not difficult to accept this matter.

After walking for a while with a torch, we arrived at the entrance of the mine.

The Walking Corpse King and uncle were not there, we stopped at the entrance of the mine, I immediately stepped back and said, "It's so hot in here."

Jiang Li looked a little serious, and said, "If it's really a coal mine, it should be warm in winter and cool in summer. Now that it's almost summer, the earth air coming out of this cave should be cool. This mine is not simple."

When Jiang Li was talking to me, there was a loud noise in the mine, followed by a wave of heat, and Jiang Li and I took a few steps back again and again.

This time the heat wave was very fierce, if Jiang Li hadn't grabbed me, I would have been swept away by the air wave.

"What's the matter?" I asked hurriedly.

Jiang Li stared at the inside for a while, then smiled and said, "There was an explosion inside, someone wanted to kill the Wandering Corpse King in the mine, but he will be disappointed."

Both Jiang Li and I know the origin of the Wandering Corpse King, despite her smiling and harmless appearance, she is actually a guy who has been imprisoned for 3000 years and hasn't died yet.

If someone wanted to use this mine to harm her, it was really the wrong way.

However, only my uncle went to find the Walking Corpse King, and there was no one else in the village. Except for my uncle, I really couldn't guess who wanted to kill the Walking Corpse King.

"Someone came out." Without waiting for me to think about it, Jiang Li said something suddenly, then immediately put out the torch, and dragged me into the nearby forest.

Less than a minute after we got to the side, a huge red fox ran out of the mine.

When I came out, I was completely stunned.

As soon as the fox came out, it rolled around, because it was wrapped around an extremely thick snake-like creature.

I have seen snakes before, but I have never seen such a big one, and snakes are usually extremely smooth, but this one is covered with extremely ugly scales. Although it looks like a snake, it is not a snake at all.

The snake-like creature was entangled with the red fox, and the two were inseparable.

There is no doubt that the red fox is the corpse king.

However, the Walking Corpse King is also a 3000-year-old creature. Although he was entangled for a while, the Walking Corpse King soon gained the upper hand.

At this moment, Jiang Li raised his hands and said, "I need to help."

After finishing speaking, they joined hands and recited the incantation of the nail-headed seven arrows spell silently. After the recitation, they inadvertently, a wisp of fresh air floated from the red fox and landed in Jiang Li's hands.

I'm a little dazed, what is he doing with the corpse king's breath?

Jiang Li didn't tell me so much, and kept watching the movement over there, but at this moment, the huge tail of the snake-shaped creature swept directly towards the body of the corpse king.

Seeing this, Jiang Li immediately clenched his hands tightly!
The Wandering Corpse King was in a trance, and was thrown away by the snake-like creature, and landed hard on the ground without moving.

I am very puzzled, I don't know why Jiang Li wanted to kill the Wandering Corpse King.

But Jiang Li asked me to continue watching. After a while, the snake-like creature dragged the fox directly into the cave. About 5 minutes later, the heat wave in the cave became more obvious, and it was easy to distinguish that the coal inside was burning. up.

Before we could save the Wandering Corpse King, a person walked out of the mine, it was my uncle who was going to pick us up!
