Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 51 Snake King
Tofu opened his mouth and said tremblingly, "Pants, inside the pants..."

I said: "What's wrong with the inside of the pants? There's a girl here, I'll find a corner to solve it myself."

Tofu cried: "You fucking pervert, something crawled in! Please... please, get it out quickly."

Gu Wenmin was still crawling ahead of me. Hearing this, he turned his head and said in surprise: "No way, why did something crawl into your pants? Could it be a mouse on the beam?"

"Slippery, cold... like, like a snake." Tofu is most afraid of small things like snakes, insects, rats and ants, and now he is too scared to move, looking at me with his eyes begging for help.I was startled, and said: "Why is the mouse interested in your ass, don't move, be careful that it bites your brother off, I'll come." After that, I turned around and crawled back for a while, holding a torch to see, My heart skipped a beat, and the torch in my hand almost dropped.

It's summer now, so when we came out, we were wearing looser and thinner slacks. The tofu was lying on the ground, and through the looser pants, a bag the size of a human head bulged in the buttocks, and it was still wriggling. The scalp of the person watching is numb.

Tofu is more sensitive to snakes. He said that there are snakes inside, so he can’t be wrong. I bite the bullet, and I suddenly lifted the waistband of Tofu’s trousers and pulled it up. The other hand quickly reached in and pinched it. A cold thing, I pulled it out and threw it out. Unexpectedly, the thing reacted too quickly, and it opened its mouth and bit my wrist.

It hurt so much that it didn't hurt much, but I was worried that it would be poisonous. After throwing the snake out, I didn't care about anything, and suddenly put the wound into my mouth and sucked it.

At this time, I threw the snake under the stone, right next to the corpse.I saw that it was much bigger than the other snakes, and it had a red crown on its head.I used to hear people in the countryside say that if a snake has a crown on its head, it means that it is a king snake, and if you kill the king snake, other snakes will retaliate.

My luck is too bad, how can I catch a king snake with just a quick grab?

I threw that thing down from above the stone, and I guess it fell hard enough. After bouncing on the ground several times, it slowly got up, then erected its neck, and spit the message towards us above.

What's more frightening is that this King Snake is poisonous. Although I treated the wound in time, the venom was running too fast. Almost instantly, I felt as if my whole body had been anesthetized.

The King Snake was playing hide-and-seek in Tofu's pants. I grabbed it out and threw it down from a high altitude. One can imagine the anger. As it hissed a few times, the happy little snakes that were still playing in the corpse all turned their heads. Following the stone, he actually began to climb up.

My scalp numb in shock, and I said, "Quick, run."

Tofu and Gu Wenmin reacted quickly, and they immediately sped up and crawled forward. I moved vigorously. Although I was very conscious, my brain was no longer able to direct my body.

Tofu climbed a few steps and reached the level with me. He said in shock: "Old Chen, why are you so still? Could it be that you have developed feelings for the snake king, and you are ready to be in love with a snake?"

I wanted to slap him twice, and scolded: "I've been poisoned by a snake, and I can't move. I'm like this, and it's not all because of you." Hearing this, Tofu became nervous, looked down, and said: " Not good, the snake is coming up soon, I will drag you away."

Above this place is the beam, which is only about one meter high. We crawled on our knees at best, and couldn't stand up completely.Tofu tried his best to feed me, turned my body over, half-kneeled on the ground, humped me on his back and crawled forward, but in this way, the speed was naturally much slower, and the little snake, walking , several of them have already climbed to the top, chasing me and tofu.

Tofu was originally a painter with a pen, and his hands were not strong enough, not to mention carrying a big living person like me, and his speed was even slower. In an instant, a small snake climbed onto Tofu's feet.Tofu was very afraid of these things, his body froze, and he visibly shivered for a while, but he didn't stop, and he gritted his teeth and crawled forward regardless of the little snakes.

Despite their small size, those snakes had sharp teeth and sharp mouths. They bit Tofu's leg in a few bites, bleeding everywhere, bleeding from the teeth marks, and staining the trousers red.

And those little snakes continued to climb up along his calves. In Wangshan, they were thighs, buttocks, and waist.I felt a chill in my heart, and sighed secretly, is it because I did too many immoral things when I was doing business before, and now the retribution is coming?Or is it the curse that will kill me today?

I said to Tofu: "Xiaodou, if this continues, neither of us can run away. You put me down, give me a good time, and kill me with one knife." Tofu crawled forward with all his strength, leaving a trail under his knees Bloodstains, blood red eyes, said in a hoarse voice: "I'm the one who caused you trouble, even if I die, I will take you out."

I said: "I really blame you for this matter, but I don't understand why the snake got into your ass. Could it be that you hid some food and put it in your pants?"

Doufu had a mournful face, carrying heavy loads for a long time, his body was a little unstable, and said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, whoever hides things will hide them in their pants."

I said, "I have hidden it before."

Tofu was speechless, scolded his mother severely, and crawled forward holding his strength, his legs were shaking, he didn't look back, so he couldn't see, only I could see, on those legs, he had already crawled A dozen or so small snakes kept biting his leg. Although the wound was not serious, the bite was bloody and bloody, which was very terrifying.

I knew I couldn't delay any longer, so I said to Tofu, "Put me down quickly."

Tofu said: "If we want to die together, I, Dou Bozhi, have no other advantages, but I will definitely not leave my brother and escape alone."

At the juncture of life and death, my eyes also became hot, and I said to Tofu, "Xiaodou, although you always cause me trouble, to be honest, I don't despise you. I will always remember the first pair of clothes I wore after leaving my hometown. You bought me new pants with your pocket money; you also bought me the first bowl of wontons you ate; when your parents were alive, you were not allowed to be friends with an uneducated little migrant worker like me, If you disagree, you were discounted a chicken feather blanket, and came out to play with me the next day. I, Chen Xuan, have a brother like you in my life. It’s worth it. You put me down quickly and run away with Wen Min. Bar."

When Tofu heard this, he said with tears, "Since you remember it so clearly, next time you eat hot pot, can you stop eating all the meat, I'm not a rabbit."

I said: "A man does not flick his tears lightly. I am not dead yet, so don't be in a hurry to cry for me."

Tofu said, "I'm in pain."

At this time, Gu Wenmin in the front said anxiously: "What time is this? You two are still in the mood to play tricks here. We can't go as fast as a snake. I thought of a way. Let's hurry up to the beam and hide for a while." Think about countermeasures."

After Gu Wenmin's reminder, I wish I could slap myself, thinking why I didn't think of this.Where there is no direct contact between the beams and the stone pillars, the snake has no way to climb up, as long as it hides on it, it will be safe.

Our place is very close to the beam. Gu Wenmin is very skilled and flexible. He grabbed the beam with his hands, rolled his body, and jumped up. Then he grabbed my armpit with one hand and lifted me onto the beam. Only then did Tofu climb up in a hurry, and kicked the snake off his legs.

Turning around on the line of life and death, the three of them sat on the beam of the house with lingering fears and panting. Looking down, more and more snakes gathered on the stone mountain below us, looking up at us with their heads raised. , squeezed and crawling densely.

Tofu rolled up his trouser legs, exposing his bloody feet. Gu Wenmin said, "Fortunately, these little snakes are not poisonous. I have some anti-inflammatory drugs in my bag. Treat the wound first and take some pills."

The three of us hid on the beam of the house. The beam of the house was narrow and we could only sit on it. We were afraid that the inside would be corrupted because of the age, so we didn't dare to make any big moves.Tofu hastily treated the wound, and the three of them looked down anxiously.

Gu Wenmin asked me if I had any other discomfort in my body. If it was just numbness, it would be easy to deal with. There is a kind of medicine called "dragon tongue grass" in the mountains, which is commonly used by the local Tujia people. It specializes in treating various snake venoms. I happen to know each other, as long as I leave this place and find a bite of dragon tongue grass to eat, it will be fine.

It's just that the most important thing now is that we are surrounded by snakes, how can we get out?

Whether the remaining two poachers are dead or alive is beyond our control. Saving others is a virtue, and sacrificing oneself to save others is a hero. I have no interest in being a hero.

Tofu hugged the wrapped legs, showing lingering fear, and muttered: "I would rather commit suicide than be bitten to death by these snakes, everyone hurry up and find a way, perverted Chen, haven't you always had the most ideas, how can you stop eating at this time?" gone."

I said: "Remove the word "abnormal." After a pause, I said: "Don't make noise, let me think about what to do."
