Chapter 111 - Laughing White Snake

"Zhang Ping came here before? When did she come? " I asked.

"Sister Pingfan came last night." Ding Minghao's younger sister Ding clearly said that, but his face still revealed a puzzled expression.

"About what time did you arrive?" I asked.

Ding Minghao said. At that time, he only saw Zhang Ping vaguely, and did not pay attention to the specific time.

Ding Yi bit his lips and said:

"He probably came over at around 9 pm. At that time, I was in the middle of WeChat my friend, so I remember the time. I even asked how she got here so late. "

"What did she say to you?" I unconsciously twisted the space between my eyebrows.

"I think she's a bit strange. She didn't even answer me, just smiled at me, and then said as if she was talking to herself … 'Looks like it's not the right time tonight. I'll come back tomorrow night, 'and said,' Since you like her so much, then go with her. 'In short, I think she's a bit weird. "

The old hunchback hit his staff and said,

"You should not have spoken to her at all. It's not a human at all. It's a monster."

I asked him what had happened last night.

The old hunchback sighed and shook his head, he said that he was watching Old Army and napping last night. When he accidentally raised his head, he saw a woman floating to the door.

He immediately recognized that it was a monster and quietly warned the others to pretend that they couldn't see her and not to talk to her.

He saw that the Banshee was staring at him and did not dare to stay in the house anymore, so he said that he wanted to go to the toilet and took the chance to walk out.

He didn't expect Ding to speak to that Banshee even though she didn't listen to his advice.

Ding clearly frowned on the side, saying that there was no demon in this world. It was clearly a living person.

I asked the hunchback, "Uncle Old Du, how are you so sure that she's a monster?"

A strange light flashed through the old hunchback's single eye as he lowered his voice and said:

"She has a shadow, not a ghost, but her shadow isn't a human shadow. She's basically a long bug spirit!"

"Worms? Snake spirit?! " I subconsciously raised my voice.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Ding Minghao suddenly screamed out for no reason, and actually fell onto the ground head first, along with the chair.

I hurried to help him up.

His skinny face turned deathly pale, as if his face was covered in a layer of ocean dust. He couldn't help but shiver.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"It's him... It's that snake charmer, he's the one who tried to harm me! " Ding Minghao trembled more and more violently.

Seeing that Old Army's face was sallow yet his eyes were filled with concern, I immediately said that this was not the place to talk, and let the three of them follow me to the shop to talk.

I am mainly afraid that the Old Army would be worried about this so-called relative. Although he is normally healthy, with his age here and buried in the ground for three days, he can't take the torment anymore.

I told Old Army to rest well and brought the three Ding Family members directly to back street.

Seeing that Xu Jie was the only one in the shop, she asked: "Where's Big Treasure?"

"He called in the morning to say that a classmate was going to get married tomorrow and he had to go have a wedding wine. He'll be here the day after tomorrow, in the morning."

Xu Jie stood up as she spoke, glanced at Ding Minghao and the others, then turned around and went to the backyard. Not long later, she brought three cups of tea and a cup of boiled water over. Bai Shui was obviously prepared for Ding Minghao.

I went up on the door board, turned on the light, sat in the rattan chair behind the counter, looked straight at Ding Minghao and said:

"Tell the whole story from beginning to end. Don't leave anything out."

Ding Minghao held the water cup and drank, his emotions calming down, but his voice still trembling.

It turned out that a while ago, he had gone to an ancient town with Zhang Ping to play outside, and unintentionally met an old man who had set up a stall at the end of the street.

The old man was about sixty to seventy years old, and his clothes were tattered.

Seeing that the old man's stall only had a bamboo basket with a narrow opening, the two of them were curious and went up to ask what the old man was selling.

The old man grinned and said mysteriously that he was selling the elixir that he inherited from his ancestors.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately lost interest. It turned out to be an old beggar selling herbs.

Seeing that the two of them wanted to leave, the old man hurriedly said that he didn't sell any powerful pills, but some kind of ointment. As long as the girl dabbed on this ointment, she would turn beautiful.

Ding Minghao did not think so, but Zhang Ping was interested, and asked if his ointment really had a beauty effect.

"The name of my ointment is White Snake Ointment, and it's a family heirloom secret recipe. It's not easy to make." The old man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, there's a medicinal ingredient in the White Snake Paste that only I can find. Even if someone else acquired the formula, they wouldn't be able to concoct the White Snake Paste."

How could Ding Minghao be willing to believe that?

The old man became anxious and raised his voice:

I only ask one question. Have you seen a snake that laughs?

Without waiting for the two to speak, he lightly patted the bamboo basket in front of him.

The two of them were curious about what was inside the bamboo basket, so they came over to ask. Seeing what was inside, they subconsciously went closer to see what was inside the bamboo basket.

He didn't expect the child's laughter to suddenly come out of the bamboo basket.

"Haha …" "Haha …"

The two of them looked at each other in astonishment. Ding Minghao was just about to ask if there was a tape recorder or something in the bamboo basket.

Suddenly, a white shadow jumped out from the bamboo basket.

The two of them looked carefully and retreated in fright. It was actually a white snake!

The white snake was as thick as a child's wrist, and its two dark red eyes emitted a faint, cold light. It looked extremely frightening.

Ding Minghao was furious. He directly told his that the beggar was playing tricks on his, had hidden a tape recorder in the bamboo basket and had even used a snake to scare his.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to curse, the white snake suddenly opened its mouth and spit out its tongue.

Normally, snakes would let out hissing sounds when they flicked their tongues, but this white snake was different.

As the snake flexed its tongue, it actually let out the "gege gege" sound that it had just made. "Haha …" The laughter of a child!

"Brother, have you gone stupid? How can a snake laugh?" Ding clearly could not help but interject.

Ding Minghao looked at me and said:

"You must believe me. That snake really knows how to laugh. Zhang Ping and I heard it clearly. That old beggar, was a demon that knew diabolism. The tongue of that white snake is different from the other tongues of snakes. On its surface, there actually grew a flower the size of a small fingernail! "

"Snake-mouth flower!"

Even though I had thought about it when I examined Zhang Ping's corpse, hearing his verification, I couldn't help but shiver.

Was there really a snake that could produce flowers that could emit human sounds?

"What happened next?" I asked, fighting off my curiosity.

Ding Minghao's eyes suddenly flickered, and he lowered his voice:

"Not only does that snake laugh, it is also very obedient. It does whatever the beggar asks it to do, and it doesn't bite anyone. Zhang Ping bought all of the ointment, turned around and told me … Said she liked that white snake a lot. "

I seemed to have guessed what happened next, and my voice went cold. "And then?"

Ding Minghao's head drooped even lower, "I gave the old beggar 2000 yuan, and told him to sell me the snake. He's not selling, and even if it was 5000 yuan, he still wouldn't sell. He was chasing … He was an old man and fell down not far behind. "

He suddenly raised his head and loudly said:

"That guy in my stomach said he was going to eat me, and his voice … Just like that old beggar, it was him using the diabolism to kill me. Xu Huo, Master Xu, please save me, you must save me … "

"Do you think I should save you?" I hit the counter so hard I wanted to kick him out.

In ancient China, there were many people who were proficient in juggling. They each had a secret technique, such as scattering beans into soldiers, spitting lotus flowers and other seemingly unfathomable techniques. All of these existed in the real world at some point in time.

With the passing of time, these handiwork, for various reasons, were lost or could no longer be performed in public.

Serpentine was one of the most mysterious and mysterious of these crafts.

The old beggar that Ding Minghao spoke of should be the snake charmer who kept on making use of this skill.

In the current society, people had long since lost interest in the strange juggling. The snake charmer only relied on the magic of the white snake to sell some ointment to make a living.

In order to please Zhang Ping, this Ding Minghao had actually forcefully snatched the white snake over …

Ding Minghao's father coughed twice and said:

"Master, no matter how precious a snake is, it is still a beast. Even if Ming Hao is ignorant and forcefully bought the snake, the old man shouldn't have done the diabolism to harm him.

"Life is in the heavens, well said!"

I slapped the counter hard. "Do you know what that white snake means to the snake charmer?" These were their parents, their companions, their families, and their lifeblood! Your son stole the snake to curry favor with the woman, but that old snake charmer lost his life because of the snake! "

"Is it that serious?" Ding Yi had a look of disapproval on his face.

"Is it that serious?" I was so angry that I laughed. "I can be responsible to tell you that only the Six Paths of the Hungry Ghost is not controlled by any evil sorcerers. There is no such thing as a person harming a person with the practices of a hungry ghost. An old man who depended on selling herbs for a living, without the white snake that he relied on to make a living, he would only wait for death if he were to fall again! He's dead, he's here to take revenge on your brother! "

Ding Minghao stared blankly into space for a while before suddenly shouting loudly:

"It's not me, it's not me! It's Zhang Ping, it's her that wants to obtain that white snake no matter what! If that old beggar wants revenge, he should go and find her! "

I sneered. "She's your girlfriend."

"We're just holding hands. We didn't do anything else. She's not my girlfriend. "

"Don't you blush when you say that?" Xu Jie said coldly.

As a woman, Ding clearly didn't look good either.

I'm really convinced of this so-called couple.

The man didn't dare to do anything, but the woman was even more ruthless. She wanted the white snake to …

After a long while, Ding Minghao's father finally said:

"Master Xu, now that things have come to this, there is no point blaming Ming Hao anymore. Furthermore, he has already been punished. How about this, I'll get Ming Hao to contact Zhang Ping and set that white snake free. Then I'll go to that ancient town and find the old man's ashes no matter what. I'll bury him for his glory, and that'll make up for it. "

Ding Yi also said, "I will contact Zhang Ping right now and ask her to bring the White Snake here."

"Contact Zhang Ping?"

I laughed, "Don't make any calls, now that you are out of this street, call a taxi and go directly to the Public Security Bureau. Go to the morgue at the back of the building to look for her, tell her that I, Xu Huo, told you all to go and identify her!"
