Chapter 220

I am a snake.

A happy, poisonous snake crawling freely in the wilderness.

When it is hungry, it bites small animals such as mice, rabbits, and frogs, poisons them to death, and swallows them into its stomach.

Drink some water if you are thirsty.

When you feel tired, go back to the snake cave and sleep.

My life as a snake was simple and happy until a lynx appeared.

That was a lynx that changed my life as a snake.

The first time I saw it, it was eating a snake.

The second time I saw it, it wanted to eat me.

The third time I saw it, it was digging a mouse hole and took out a snake from the hole.

It seemed that it was either eating a snake or on its way to eating a snake, but that day it ran past me unexpectedly without even looking at me.

I looked up and saw two arrows stuck in its back.

Blood dripped and the hunter followed behind.

Hunters also catch snakes, so I should run.

But I smelled the fragrance of its blood, so I forgot my fear and followed it as if possessed.

It was seen escaping from the hunter, but it also died.

When I arrived, there were already a few mice eating it. They might have been attracted by the smell.

Usually they would run away when they saw me, but that day they didn't run away and even wanted to bite me. Of course I was not happy about that. After a fierce fight, all the mice were poisoned to death by me.

But I didn't want to eat them. I smelled something more delicious, a round bead flowing out of the lynx's belly.

I ate it, and nothing was ever the same after that.

That feeling was... Before, I was just eating, drinking and sleeping in a daze, but from that moment on, I was eating, drinking and sleeping with clear mind.

I learned to play dead, fell in love with taking baths, occasionally basking in the sun, breathing in the essence of the sun and the moon, and became more picky about what I ate.

But I am still very happy.

Until today, I was still as happy as usual wanting to take a bath, then climb up my beloved big rock, and have a good sleep in the sun.

But he found someone on the stone.

That was a person who changed my life.

She lay on the stone as if dead but not dead, just sleeping.

It smells delicious, just like the lynx. I see lots of mosquitoes eating it, and I want to eat it too.

But she is too big.

I felt a little at a loss as to where to start and was about to leave when I saw her suddenly sit up.

When our eyes met, I felt a little scared.

She suddenly made a "huh" sound, which scared me. I was afraid that she was going to attack me, so I decided to use my mouth first and bit her with my mouth open.

But I'm very slow at biting.

The main reason was to scare her away. I don’t know why, but I always felt that I was different and couldn’t hurt others casually.

So I wanted to let her go.

But she grabbed it, rolled it into a ball, and threw it far into the water.

She also said -

"go."

"Why are you opening your mouth so wide? It's scary."

Who is scary?

What about me?

Do you think I don't know what it's like to be scary?

If you think I'm scary, just grab me and throw me in the water.

What about those people who screamed and ran away when they saw me before?

And... weren't you the one who scared me first? You even stole my beloved rock and threw it at me.

If I hadn't used the beads to protect myself, I would have hit my head on the stone and it would have been so painful.

Go and ask around, everyone in this forest knows that I am a simple, happy and narrow-minded snake. How dare you treat me like this? Just wait, I will definitely scare you.

I swam away in front of her, then secretly went into the water, crawled into the mud and sand, and arched back, wanting to bite her when she was not paying attention to avenge being thrown out.

Since she can't eat it anyway, I won't poison her. I'll just scare her.

Seeing her crying and thinking she was going to die, I was satisfied.

After all, I am a simple and happy snake.

But I never expected it.

She can actually protect herself, using something called spiritual energy.

This means you can't bite it.

I had no choice but to wait, and I almost fell asleep. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and she held me in her hand again.

This hit me so hard that my head was buzzing.

I couldn't climb for a long time, and I kept gurgling. I drank a lot of water, and the mud blocked my nostrils.

I felt like I was a little dead when I was pulled out of the water again.

I also heard her mumbling to herself about wanting to pinch my weak spot.

I thought to myself, it’s over, my life is over.

I started playing dead, hoping she would let me go.

But she, but she didn't have any sympathy at all, she picked my mouth, rinsed my head with water, grabbed my tail and shook me, and carried me around, with her shoulder hitting my vital point again and again.

I was pretending to be dead at first, but with the blows coming one after another, I really felt like I was going to die.

Just when I was about to die, suddenly a stream of spiritual energy rushed into my body, and my body was gently kneaded. I felt so comfortable that I couldn't help but twist a few times, and quickly introduced the spiritual energy into the orb.

I came back to life, but I found that it was still her who gave me spiritual energy...

I pretended to be dead like that, but she still refused to let me go. If I were really alive, that would be terrible.

Without thinking, I pretended to be dead again.

She went even further and put me in a bag that smelled of sulfur.

To be honest, this smell is as disgusting to me as realgar.

I felt dizzy again.

When I woke up again, I was locked in a small black box.

She patted the box and said:

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, I'll bury you tomorrow!"

Go to sleep?

Why not die?

From the way it sounded, did she know that I was pretending to be dead?

She tortured me for so long and it wasn't enough, she wanted to bury me.

People are so scary!

If I were given another chance, I would never mess with her.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

I think my life as a snake is over.

But I don't want to die so quietly. Even if she wants to bury me in the ground and hammer me into mud, I will still spit venom at her and refuse to surrender!

I arched upwards with all my strength, again and again!

……

The child was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a banging sound next to her ears. She opened her eyes, tilted her head, and saw that the box containing the snake was moving violently.

It seemed as if something was trying to break out of the box.

The child's eyes widened: "He's a zombie!"

It's worth it!

She quickly pressed down the box, but the things inside were still thrashing around.

The frightened child shouted, "Auntie Yu, please bring me a bowl of sticky rice! The snake is turning into a zombie!"

She told so many stories, and it wasn't for nothing.

To cure zombies, you need glutinous rice!

Aunt Yu: "Why are you eating glutinous rice so late at night? We don't have any at home. I'll go buy some for you tomorrow. Go to sleep. If you're hungry, there are two pancakes in the kitchen. I'll heat them up for you."

The child took the zombie box and went out, saying seriously, "I'm afraid it won't be able to wait until tomorrow and will become even more powerful!"

After listening to the child's guess, Aunt Yu also thought it made sense. Coming back from the dead couldn't be a good thing, it wasn't like the death was short.

But she really doesn't have glutinous rice.

"How about we nail the box shut and bury it directly into the ground, deep down?"

Child: "Good idea! Bury it deeper, and I'll dig it out and give it to Sister Xi tomorrow!"

Snake in the Box: ... Burying it is fine, but burying it deep is a sign that it might come back to life, right? And then you give it to someone else. And what about Sister Xi who loves to eat snakes?

The snake's small brain couldn't fully understand their lives, but that didn't stop it from struggling hard.

Sometimes snakes don’t know how strong they are unless they push themselves!
