Chapter 132 The Man without Shadow
Walking out of the forest, the faint moonlight shone down.
There were no lights in the village, and the low and dilapidated houses were almost blended into the darkness. They were silent and lifeless.
Mu Bai walked in the front, I was in the middle, and behind were a large group of snakes.
Finally, there’s the big-headed snake.
It always hides itself in a dark corner, keeping a certain distance from us, and is very careful not to reveal its true appearance.
But there is moonlight illumination outside the forest, and if you look carefully, you can still find some clues.
I was curious, but the cold snake wrapped around my neck reminded me that curiosity killed the cat.
I endured it and didn't look back. I walked low-key in the strange procession and returned to the village.
"We're already here, can you let us go?" Standing on the path in the village, Mu Bai turned around and said to the big-headed snake behind him.
The big-headed monster snake hid under a big tree, its red eyes flashed, and it seemed to shake its head slightly.
"Do you want to regret it?" The snake around his neck did not let go, and Mu Bai's face turned ugly.
The big-headed monster snake moved its head in one direction.
I looked along and found that it was Mu Bai's home.
"You want to see my grandma?" Mu Bai said in shock.
The big-headed snake didn't move, as if by default.
"Haha, okay, if you are not afraid of death, then come." Mu Bai sneered, turned and walked towards his home.
Push open the courtyard door.
Mu Bai and I walked in one after the other. As soon as we stepped into the yard, the snake around our necks suddenly let go. As if we were very scared, it swooped out and ran far away.
The big-headed monster snake twisted its body and stood at the door, as if it didn't dare to enter.
I rubbed my neck, and the unpleasant fishy smell still lingered on my skin.
Mu Bai walked to the door of the room and hesitated silently, not having the courage to open the door for a long time.
"Back." The window creaked open, and Grandma Mu Bai's shadow appeared in the dark room, as if she had known everything for a long time.
"Grandma, I..." Mu Bai shuddered and lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.
"Just come back safely. Do you know who she is?"
"Grandma, how could it be her? I can't figure it out." Mu Bai nodded, his eyes red, "Why is there my father's tombstone in the snake cave?"
Mrs. Mu let out a long sigh, "It's my fault. I thought everything would be fine if I sent you out of the village, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to escape all this."
"If I had known earlier, I should have told you everything, otherwise I wouldn't have caused you to suffer so much."
"Grandma, I didn't understand you before, but now I understand. You didn't tell me because it was for my own good. No one can accept it if they know who she is."
"Let's not talk about this for now. The guy outside is still waiting." Mrs. Mu waved her hand to interrupt him, "Xiaobai, help grandma out quickly."
"Hey." Mu Bai wiped his eyes, pushed the door open and walked into the house, helping Mrs. Mu out.
I am becoming more and more curious about who she is.
Mrs. Mu gave me a bad look and turned to face the door.
"What are you doing here? After all these years, why don't you give up?" Her cloudy eyes stared coldly at the big-headed snake outside the door.
The big-headed monster snake stood quietly, its red eyes looking at Old Mrs. Mu.
It seemed a little excited and its body was shaking slightly.
"It's not all because of your own greed that you become like this! Now, you are blaming me. You are just like the cursed person, you are a white-eyed wolf!" Mrs. Mu said bitterly.
I was shocked, this old goddess really knew everything.
The big-headed monster snake became even more excited, and its huge head banged against the door frame.
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Mu shouted angrily, and the big-headed monster snake immediately did not dare to move.
It paused, then fell limply to the ground, its head moving bit by bit as if it was kowtowing.
"Even if you smash your head, I don't know how to save you. If you really want to be freed, I can give you a ride!" Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, unmoved at all.
The big-headed monster snake became anxious all of a sudden, raised its head suddenly, and made a strange cry.
There was a hissing sound of snakes coming from outside the yard. Under the dim moonlight, countless snakes with cold light could be seen crawling out of the grass and surrounding the yard.
"You threatened my grandson, and I haven't settled it with you yet, and you still want to fight with me!" Mrs. Mu raised her eyebrows.
She was obviously a dying old woman, but the majestic aura she exuded could make people's hearts tremble.
I stared at her thin and dry figure, and I always felt that something was wrong. I was about to take a look with my eyes, but my eyes suddenly focused on her feet.
The moonlight was faint, making the surroundings become increasingly hazy.
There were three people standing in the yard, but there were only two people.
Mrs. Mu's feet were completely blank.
Are there people without shadows in this world?
There is no doubt about the answer.
Does Mu Bai know this?
Boom boom boom boom!
The big-headed monster snake knocked the dilapidated courtyard door crumbling, and kept making rapid cooing sounds. Long snakes of different colors and lengths climbed up the courtyard wall.
He opened his head and shook his head, hissing and spitting out snake letters.
"Xiao Bai, go inside." Mrs. Mu turned her head and said to Mu Bai.
"No, grandma, I have grown up and I can protect you!" Mu Bai shook his head stubbornly and stubbornly stood in front of Mrs. Mu.
"My good grandson! It's not in vain that grandma loves you so much!" Mrs. Mu looked at her grandson lovingly for a few times, then turned to me, "I know what you want, and if you want to achieve your wish, help me lock him up." stand up."
I was shocked and confused, not sure if the old woman was bluffing me or if she really saw something.
"Grandma, don't drag Boss Li into this." Mu Bai was also surprised, "Besides, how could I hide myself and leave you outside!"
Mrs. Mu ignored Mu Bai and still looked at me with a cold smile.
"What? Don't believe it?" Her eyes were obviously cloudy, but they seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Well, let me put it another way. As long as you help my grandson survive, I will tell you everything related to the curse."
"make a deal!"
I snapped my fingers and walked towards Mu Bai.
"Sorry."
"Boss Li, how could you do this? I treat you as a friend!" Mu Bai frowned and shouted, "You let my grandmother, an old man, face that monster outside. Are you still a human being when you do this?"
"Your grandma will be fine." I said, grabbing Mu Bai's hands and holding him back.
Mu Bai struggled desperately, and it took me a lot of effort to push him into the room, then quickly closed the door and wiped the door bolt.
"Boss Li, let me out, and I can tell you everything I know!"
"Hey, you can't do this!"
Mu Bai banged the door. I shook my head and walked to Mrs. Mu's side.
"Is that okay now?"
Mrs. Mu glanced at the sky and saw that the moon had set.
"It will be daybreak soon, and you will know everything soon."
