C2 Midnight Whisper

"Grandfather, is this for real? Don't scare me. " I said, trembling.

"I've always told you to sleep in the coffin because when you sleep, the yang energy will drop and the yin energy will be released. There are talismans stuck on the sides of this coffin, and these talismans can lock down the yin energy and prevent the wandering souls in the surroundings from finding out, but you've already reached the age to manifest your fate, and these talismans can't be suppressed. Right now, I can only pray that there won't be too many lonely ghosts within a hundred miles."

I silently looked at my grandfather. I didn't believe in the words of the gods and spirits. Although I had doubts in my heart, there was no need for my grandfather to lie to me.

As his grandfather spoke, he had already filled the coffin with the fragrance of tribute. He said, "Don't be afraid, sleep as usual tonight. When your fate is revealed, you should be fine."

I nodded my head silently. After my grandfather left, I laid down in the coffin as usual. I didn't sleep that night as I tightly hugged the snake.

Just as his grandfather had said, nothing big had happened, but something huge had happened in the fat man's house next door. In one night, six people had died in the village for no reason, and these six people were all middle-aged or strong young men.

The whole village was silent in a great panic, for the people remembered the blue snake of six years ago.

After hearing these rumors, I ignored the disgust of everyone and looked at the corpses. As expected, when I saw the blue scales on their bodies, the first thing I thought of was that blue snake that lived in my coffin. The scales were basically the same color, but the scales on Fatty's family were a bit brighter.

The people in the village seemed to have gone mad once again, because if they counted the time, it had been almost seven years.

That day, everyone from the village came to my house and told Grandfather to think of a way, because he was the one who said that if the snake was not killed, he would be the one to suffer in seven years.

I was also extremely terrified. After hearing what those adults said, I became even more scared. I even believed that the death of Fatty's family was related to the blue snake in my coffin.

I quickly ran into the room, locked the door, and climbed into the coffin. The snake was still there, but the moment I saw it, I panicked because the color of its body became even brighter. It could be said that it was the exact same color as the scales that grew from the limbs of the six dead people.

"You. "You." At first, I didn't suspect it because it was with me last night. However, after seeing the change in the color of its scales, I started to suspect it.

The snake seemed to be in the dark as it continued to climb on top of me. It rested its head on my chest and looked at me with its pair of sapphire-like eyes.

"Human." Isn't it? You killed him! " I asked, trembling.

The snake looked at me and shook its head. Its eyes were filled with innocence. Then, it leaned its head on my shoulder. It seemed very docile. I don't know why, but this action of his calmed me down quite a bit. I kept telling myself that this snake had been inside my coffin the whole time. I didn't sleep last night, so it didn't have time to harm the six people in the village.

It was very noisy outside. The villagers were all forcing Grandfather to think of a way. I quietly lay inside the coffin and listened to what was happening outside. I tightly hugged the snake with mixed feelings.

The villagers only left at noon. I climbed out of the coffin and walked to the living room. Grandfather was sitting at the dining table with a worried expression. I hadn't seen him in the morning and he seemed to have aged a lot.

I didn't dare to tell Grandfather about this. I silently ran to the kitchen to make lunch, and after lunch was over, Grandfather took a look and sighed. "How can we still eat? Your matter has just started, and now such a big incident has occurred in the village."

I silently scooped out a bowl of rice for my grandfather and said, "Grandfather, if we don't eat, we won't have the strength to settle those matters."

His grandfather shook his head and said, "Hit the snake seven inches, if the snake wants to turn into a spirit, it also needs seven souls. Now that six are dead, one more will die, and if that snake really becomes a spirit, the entire village will be done for."

"One more person will die?" I asked in surprise.

His grandfather nodded and said, "Yes, and tonight, the six people who died were all people who injured a snake that year. The remaining one doesn't even know who that snake will harm."

I thought again of the time the snake had crawled into my coffin. There had been six wounds.

Thinking about this, I hastily asked, "Grandfather, were those six bitten to death by snakes?"

His grandfather shook his head and said, "No, when the snake is about to mature, it doesn't need to bite itself to death. Even if it's hiding in the cave, it still has a way to kill people."

I suddenly stood up. I didn't doubt that snake was with me last night, but according to my grandfather, he didn't even need to show himself to kill me, which would be troublesome. Thinking about the various abnormalities that the blue snake had experienced over the past six years, cold sweat started to form on my back.

"What's the matter with you?" Grandfather frowned. He was the one who brought me up, and he immediately noticed my sudden abnormality.

Looking at my grandfather's pale hair, worry and exhaustion filled his face, I gritted my teeth and told him about the snake. "Grandfather, the blue snake was actually in my coffin all along."

"Pah!" His grandfather slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "What did you say?"

I told grandfather all of the events that had transpired. This time, he was thoroughly enraged and he raised his hand to slap me.

At that time, I was still young, so I was slapped senseless by grandpa. I opened my mouth and started to wail, but grandpa didn't care about my crying. He dragged me to my room and over to the coffin. He lifted the covers off the coffin, but the snake was gone.

"Where?" Grandfather asked with a cold expression.

I pointed to a small hole in the corner of the coffin and said, "We might have entered it."

Grandfather took a hoe and upraised the coffin. After he placed the brick on top, he looked inside and said, "I'm not here."

"Impossible!" I quickly laid on the ground and looked inside. I really didn't see anything. The snake was already gone.

Grandfather coldly looked at me as he said, "A ghost can be avoided. I don't have any ways to deal with a demon disaster. There's no need to look for me. Tonight, just wait for death!"

"Grandfather, it won't harm me!" I said stubbornly.

Then, he picked up a willow branch that was as thick as a thumb and walked in, stripping off all my clothes. The entire house chased after me as they smoked, apologizing as he said, "Child, you don't understand. If you offend a great deity, then don't blame me, great deity."

This time, I did it for over an hour, and Grandfather kept repeating this line. At that time, I had already forgotten what pain was, my entire body was covered in the blood marks of the willow branches. In the end, I really didn't have the strength to dodge anymore and directly fainted from the pain. Grandfather didn't bother with me. He just left me on the bed and went out.

In the middle of the night, I woke up in pain. I could barely move my body, and the slightest movement would pull me to the wound. I also found that my hands and feet were tied up with willow branches, as if I was afraid of running away.

That night, the moonlight was very bright, and although there were no lights in the room, I could clearly see the situation in the room. That night, the moonlight was very bright, and although there were no lights in the room, I could clearly see the situation in the room.

After a few grunts, I drifted back into a daze.

At that moment, a slim figure pushed open the door and walked in. The silhouette in the moonlight was almost perfect.

"Who are you? "Why did you come to my house?" I asked, staring at the figure.

The figure did not speak, but pressed the light switch.

The person who came was a peerlessly beautiful woman. She wore a skin-tight blue dress that accentuated her devilish body, making her already fair skin seem even whiter and more delicate.

Looking at her face, with her long hair draped over her back, clear and bright pupils, long and curved eyebrows, and long eyelashes slightly trembling, her fair and flawless skin revealed a faint red powder, her red lips were sexy and seductive, and her nose was small and straight.

I swear, this is the most perfect woman I've ever seen in my life, neither in reality nor on television. I've never seen a more beautiful woman.

A beauty that could topple a nation, a beauty that could shock a flying geese from the south. In my heart, she is a fairy descending to the mortal world.

I blankly appreciate her beauty, she also smiled like a flower looking at me.

Even though my hands and feet were tied with willow branches, I still swallowed. "Elder sister fairy, who are you? are you here to find my grandpa? "

"No, I came looking for you." The woman's voice was like water and like a song, like a painting in a dream. Listening to it felt extremely comfortable.

I said, a little helpless, "Me. But I don't know you. "

"No, you know me." The girl slowly walked to the bed and touched the wounds on my body that were pulled out by the willow branch. She asked with a pained expression, "Child, are you in pain?"

"It doesn't hurt." I gritted my teeth and said stubbornly.

The woman faintly smiled and said, "I know you are in pain. Can I help you stop it?"

Her gentle voice carried an unwillingness to reject. I nodded. "Alright! Thank you, Big Sister Fairy."

"Elder sister fairy, can you untie the willow branch for me?" I could no longer feel the pain.

She smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, I can't cure it. I'll help you stop the pain."
