pregnant snake

Chapter 54

However, Su He seems to have come early for this trip. There is indeed a snake coiled in the cave, but before it is time to lay eggs, the female snake curled up and rested. After noticing Su He at the entrance of the cave, the female snake lifted up His head was in a defensive posture, his mouth was still hissing, and he looked very fierce.

Su He shrank his head, not daring to bother him, fearing that if something went wrong with the female snake, Qi Yuan would also be dead in the womb, so he moved to the side, keeping a relatively safe position with the female snake The distance quietly waited.

The cliff was wet and slippery, Su He climbed very hard, his arms and legs were terribly sore, but he still didn't dare to come down to rest for a while, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he might not be able to tell which one was Qi Yuan, so Su He kept the same posture and climbed up the cliff After waiting for two days, in the middle of the night two days later, I finally noticed that the female snake was about to lay eggs.

Su He, who was exhausted at first, heard a slight noise in the cave, and immediately regained his energy. He poked his head into the cave and looked into the cave under the moonlight, and saw the female snake slowly turning around in the cave with its rough and swollen back. Then, I chose a place with soft soil in the hole, lifted the tail of the snake, and saw a white snake egg slowly squeezed out of the hole.

This process seemed to be extremely difficult, one snake egg was enough for the female snake to toss about for a while, Su He then bit her lower lip nervously, and her palms became sweaty.

This female snake does not look like a young and strong snake. After laying four snake eggs, she drooped her head and looked tired. After resting for a while, she twisted her body again and gave birth to the last egg One egg, and then the female snake turned her head to look at the five snake eggs around her, went around to protect her body, and rested her head on the last snake egg that was laid.

Generally speaking, the female snake will not leave until the baby snake is born, but Su He can't wait that long, he wants to take Qi Yuan back, so he reaches into the cave with a little shame, and puts the last snake egg " He snatched it over, and when he was about to withdraw his hand, he was bitten by the female snake, which left two small blood holes in the tiger's mouth, but now that Su He is a fairy, this bit of snake venom can still be resolved.

So this snake egg, which came to the mortal world with great difficulty, finally came into Su He's hands.Su He was very afraid that he would make a mistake, so after taking the snake eggs, he went into the cave again worriedly, touched the rear abdomen of the female snake, and was relieved after confirming that there were no snake eggs left in her abdomen, and said softly to the female snake. The female snake said: "Thank you for your hard work."

The female snake no longer had the strength to raise her head to bite Su He, and after glancing at him, she buried her head in the remaining four snake eggs as if resigned to her fate.Su He was also very sorry, hesitated for a moment, picked up a dead leaf and turned it into spiritual grass and placed it under the female snake's hind abdomen, which would have some effect on its recovery.

After this was done, Su He had the opportunity to take a closer look at the snake egg in his hand. Su He carefully wiped off the little sand and blood stains on the egg shell, leaving only an uneven patch of milky white. The first few rays of sunshine in the morning.

Su He smiled from the bottom of his heart, he had hope again, and then he went home with the snake egg and his prayer.

In the small courtyard of Yunlan, Shaoyao squatted in front of two small earthen bags. One of the two small earthen bags buried Qiyuan from her previous life, and the other buried a cat that had died of old age. Shaoyao babbled a lot to the two small earthen bags. He yawned loudly as he babbled about trivial matters until he was sleepy.

But before he could close his mouth, he heard the courtyard door creak, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Su He pushing the door and entering.

Shao Yao stood up, surprised, because Su He, who had been in a daze two days ago, now had a relaxed expression on his face.Shaoyao's first reaction was that Su He was so sad and stupid, so she couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. She turned her head and couldn't help lowering her head to burst tears into Qi Yuan's tomb, and the more she cried, the more sad she became, thinking that Qi Yuan died, Su He Stupid, Huamao is old, no one in this world loves him anymore.

In this way, Shaoyao gradually turned into wailing, and the sound shook the mountains and rivers. Su He had to imitate Qi Yuan's previous appearance and kicked him, saying: "It's so noisy, why are you crying like this."

Shaoyao wiped her face, turned her head to look at Su He with her mouth flattened, saw that Su He who had never been to Qiyuan's tomb squatted down in front of this simple and rough small pit, stretched out her hand to touch the soil, The eyes are soft and calm, revealing something that Shaoyao can't understand.This made Shao Yao feel more and more puzzled, and looked at Su He with weird eyes, until Su He carefully took out a snake egg from his bosom, and said to Shao Yao: "Don't worry, Qi Yuan will not leave."

Shao Yao was startled when he heard the words, and wiped the teardrops on his chin with the back of his hand. Even though he had infinite doubts in his heart, he knew with certainty that the snake egg in Su He's hand would be Qi Yuan from now on.Shao Yao stared at the snake egg for a moment, then said to Su He with red eyes: "If Qi Yuan can come back, I will never plant peony flowers again."

Su He smiled and rubbed Shao Yao's head with one hand, but her nose was sore. Before crying for nothing, she went back to the house and found the small wooden box where Qi Yuan was once placed, and laid a layer of soft cloth on the bottom of the box. Cotton, put the snake egg on it, and then put the box in a moist and warm corner of the house.

Shaoyao watched from the side with wide eyes, not daring to go over to help, for fear of making some mistakes with his careless hands, he dared not go over until Su He finished all this work, and stood beside the snake eggs with him.

The snake eggs lay quietly in the wooden box, and even Su He felt that all this was extremely unreal, as if he was having a big dream, and he hoped that he would never wake up from this dream.

Shaoyao doesn't have Su He's sense of trance, but he is more realistic, hesitatingly asked in a low voice: "Su He...Qi Yuan...Qi Yuan, can he only be a snake in the future?"

Su He was startled when he heard the words, then thought about it in silence, and said with a smile: "It's okay to be just a snake, anyway, he's been with me like this since the beginning."

"Then... when will he hatch?" Shao Yao asked again.

"This..." Su He paused, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know, maybe when he wants to come out, he will come out naturally."

Shao Yao let out an oh, and didn't ask any further questions. She only knew that in the days to come, Su He would never leave the snake egg for a moment, and she could watch and stare at it all the time, for fear of missing something accidentally.Shao Yao watched silently, feeling sad for some reason, he felt that Su He was really too lonely, so lonely that he desperately guarded a snake egg but didn't feel tired at all.

But maybe this loneliness will eventually be melted away by Qi Yuan. In the dead of night, only the candlelight swaying gently on the table, the snake egg in the wooden box made a small opening soundlessly.
