It was the first time that the old man told the story in this way. Wei Lixin listened to this story that no normal person would believe, but felt as if it had happened to him. Such weird things recently were too much. many.

"Why can't you go?" Wei Lixin frowned and asked, "Are you trapped by someone?"

The old man closed his eyes and continued to speak. His voice sounded a little far away: "I slept alone on the bed that night. In my dream, I was full of the money I would receive tomorrow. I slept very hard until a snake crawled on me. , I didn't care. There are many snakes in the southern mountainous area. Although they rarely enter the house, it's not uncommon. I fell asleep and didn't turn on the light. I just threw the snake out of the window and turned it over. Then he lay back down.

But the rustling sound didn't stop, it got louder and louder, I couldn't sleep, the sound was too loud, I could only get up and turn on the light, get out of bed to see what happened, I woke up more than once I was alone, and the servant who lived next to me also got up. He hurriedly gave me my wages and told me to leave quickly. I was a little surprised, but the money was in hand, and I had no reason to stay. He turned around and prepared to leave, but stepped on a limp snake with one foot. "

"A snake again?"

The old man glanced at him, lowered his head, and continued, "I stepped on that snake, but it didn't bite me back. Instead, it slipped past my feet. It was too dark for me to see, but I can clearly feel the extremely creamy touch, and I have goosebumps all over my body. The sound of rustling is getting louder and louder. There must be more than one snake in that place, there must be a group of them, and they are all trying their best to move in one direction So rushed that I didn't notice anything else, including me.

It seemed to me that something big was about to happen. Animals have always had better senses than humans, and those of us who live in the mountains know that.The man was still urging me to leave, but when I was about to reach the gate, I seemed to be pushed back by something——later I realized that I would never be able to get out of that gate.

Before I was surprised, the servant who was next to me screamed. He was still a young man, and he didn't know what he saw. The way out, but all failed - I couldn't climb over the wall, and I couldn't get out when the door was open. "

Wei Lixin frowned slightly. When the old man talked about this matter, his voice was a little trembling, but his mood was very stable. After all, he was very old, and no matter how big it was, he couldn't stir up waves in his heart.

"and after?"

"Later?" The old man smiled lightly, "I got lucky later..."

When he said the word "good luck", he gritted his teeth tightly, as if it was squeezed out of his throat. Although it was a short sentence, it had a meaningful ending, which made his tone Can't tell if it's sarcasm or something else.

"All our servants have been gathered, no matter if they are new laborers like me, or those from the Wei family that I have never seen before, they are not gathered on their own initiative, but are given by more and more snakes. Forced, I swear, I've never seen so many reptiles that either bite or drive us together. But soon I knew why.

We were gathered in an open space, and of course I have planted grass and turned it into a garden—it was an open space in the shape of an altar before.All the people were screaming there, those who didn't know the inside story, those who knew the inside story, were watching the dark night before dawn, screaming in despair, I was very old, and I didn't want to do anything meaningless For his actions, he could only hold the money and wait for an explanation. "

Wei Lixin shook his head, met his gaze, and said, "I don't understand. Why is this happening?"

"I didn't understand at first," the old man sighed, and suddenly asked him a question, "Do you know what captive breeding is?"

Wei Lixin smiled lightly, pointed to his nose, and said, "I know, why don't I know? After all, I'm being kept in captivity now, and what do I think when people pay attention to me? I became what you imagined—isn’t this captive?”

The old man didn't refute, he just frowned, and then Wei Lixin said: "It's not like this, it's a more dangerous and unbelievable kind of captivity - the Wei family used to raise monsters in captivity."

Wei Li sneered.

The old man understood what he meant, but he just shook his head slightly. His good temper seemed to have been useful to Wei Li. He suddenly lowered his voice, which sounded a little deep: "Maybe it can also be regarded as a Strangely, even if I inherited the Wei family muddle-headedly, I still had to 'inherit' some things, perhaps it should not be said to be inheritance, he chose me."

"Choose you?" Wei Lixin frowned, "Did you be chosen to be the head of the Wei family? Why? But wasn't the grandfather back then just a part-time worker in the Wei family?"

Wei Lixin's tone was not very polite, but the old man in the wheelchair still endured it with a good temper.

"It's very simple," the old man said with a smile, "as long as everyone in the Wei family is dead and only me is left, there is no other choice, so there is no need to consider other things. It's better to say it's not so much a choice." To be 'chosen - I never thought of being the head of the house in the first place."

"Everyone is dead?" Hearing this, Wei Lixin's calm face finally showed a bit of surprise, "How did they die?"

The old man sighed slightly, and tapped his fingers on the edge of the wheelchair. The blunt sound made people feel agitated. He was trying to keep calm, and it was extremely difficult. The old man's habitual smile was still on his lips, just When he spoke, his voice was still visibly trembling.

"At that time, the Wei family had a hundred and ten people. It's a lot, but compared with this kind of family business, it seemed empty. There were not many day laborers like us, and they didn't form a big circle when they gathered together. There are snakes hissing outside, but they don't hurt anyone, and there are bold people trying to find an exit, bypassing the group of harmless reptiles, a small circle, always crowded, I I didn't know anyone, and I only had a few words with the person who invited me in. I didn't want to move my old bones, and I came and went, but I was squeezed into the middle by that group of people.

It's funny, the people who tried to escape in the outer circle died, but the people who were waiting to die in the inner circle survived. "

Wei Lixin seemed to understand a little bit, and he began to think along the way of the old man. It was not difficult: "Did the snake bite someone?"

"It's not just that," the old man shook his head, "I'm in the innermost place, I can't see the outside situation even when I hunched over, I only heard the scream and it became fierce in an instant, and the smell of blood came through the air. The screams one after another seemed to have finally attracted a little attention, and the people in charge of the Wei family finally came out - when we were surrounded by those snakes, none of the people in charge showed up.

But by then it was too late, the circle of [-] or [-] people had shrunk by half, and most of the rest were wounded. I never knew a snake could be so poisonous. That man dragged a blue-black thing over. , I can't see clearly, I just think it's a huge burden.Followed by a group of people, probably all high-ranking members of the Wei family.

I heard his voice, indistinct, mixed with a group of screams, the strange thing is that I can clearly recognize it, to the effect that let's not panic, everything has been resolved.

I thought it was absurd at the time, so many people had died, and only then did he come out, carrying the huge blue-black package, and only then did I see the long snake tail, being dragged as if dead Go, the closer you get, the louder the rustling sound—I thought it should be dead, after all, it didn't move at all, until the man walked up to us proudly, and the sack-like thing suddenly raised its head Come and smile at us.

I don't think I'll ever forget that face.

It was a long-haired woman with an extremely beautiful face, only a little paler, but a long snake tail underneath her body. The man who was carrying her was also startled, but at that time he had already It was too late, at first the dead body-like snake tail wrapped around his neck tightly, but it was the one with the triumphant smile at the beginning who turned into a real dead body.

I don't know what happened afterwards, I just remember a buzzing sound in my head, and then I passed out, and when I woke up again, I, and those who survived, were all thrown into a claustrophobic space up.

You may also know that place, that place is behind the Buddha statue, in the small Buddhist hall, in the Buddhist hall where we worship.It was a small formation with very simple functions, and no one could get out. "

If Wukong and the others saw it, they would be surprised why the old man knew such details—Qingjue always felt that only one person had entered that formation and died inside.

Wei Lixin's eyes flickered. The place the old man mentioned made him feel uncomfortable. Even though there were too many things that happened recently, murder is undoubtedly the most difficult to accept.

The old man didn't look at him, and was still immersed in his own story.

"At that time, people were still calm, and some still had a happy feeling of surviving a catastrophe. Indeed, there were not many people who survived. A group of more than a dozen people who were in charge of the Wei family still stood proudly in the middle and said loudly. We, the group of servants, could only huddle together and talk—there really were not many survivors, even less than before, only about twenty, and I didn’t have any injuries on my body , After waking up, I tried to talk to the people next to me. Later, they finally told me everything that happened in the Wei family.

But none of them survived, only me survived, although I didn't die in that formation, but I lost a pair of legs there, what I didn't expect was that this helped me get back a whole family with a big career Wei Family——Lixin, tell me, do you think I lost money on this deal? "
