Serpent Sarcophagus

I didn't expect that the snake, which hadn't even shown up until now, would actually play these filthy tricks.

Fletcher's wife was shivering from the rice rain but was still giggling strangely.

I just felt a surge of anger in my heart, then I carried the bucket and knocked heavily on her head.

The whole world was instantly silent. I watched the few people who had fallen to the ground and the dead snakes that were tangled under the walls of the house, and my heart was chilled.

Stowy had killed so many snakes that he was exhausted. He had already gone back to the Black Mamba Bracelet to recuperate.

I stood alone in the night wind. I couldn't even hear the insects nearby, but only the sound of the wind whistling past, and my heavy panting.

I didn't know if the Snake's Lust Poison was real. But I felt my body getting hotter and hotter, as if my legs were starting to get weak and numb.

I carried the bucket, went to the faucet by the door of the house and got a bucket of water, then poured it on the top of my head, before entering the house.

After being soaking wet, I felt better, then exhaled deeply and grabbed a knife from the kitchen.

Mrs. Quebec was still unconscious. I did what my father had taught me, lifted her up, and let her lean on the bed, making sure her heart was above the wound.

I got knife to cut the wound into a cross, found a glass, pulled a piece of paper, and burned it in the glass. Then while the fire was still burning, I covered the mouth of the cup onto the place where the cut was done.

This was called cupping, using the air pressure to suck out the toxics. Once the heated glass cup covered the wound, I saw black blood gushing out.

I sat in the middle of the dead snakes and leaned against Mrs. Quebec's bed. When there was no more blood gushing from the wound, I then removed the glass and poured out the paper ash mixed with poisoned blood inside. Then, I started to do it a second time.

The ambulance was coming to the village from the town, and it certainly wouldn't be quick. If I didn't save her, Mrs. Quebec might not last till the ambulance arrived.

I did the cupping twice. On the third time, when the blood became bright red, I started to call my parents, but as before, no one answered.

In the entire room, except for my heavy breathing, there was only the beeping of a busy signal.

I thought about it. If I called my grandmother, she would be worried, so I called Uncle Peter.

I couldn't wait for the ambulance, so I had to take them to the hospital myself. But in this nearby village, the only person I knew was Uncle Peter.

As soon as he learned that something had happened, Uncle Peter just said in a deep voice, “I'll come. Even if the ambulance is dispatched, they probably can't find the place. Just wait for me.”

Uncle Peter came quickly and also brought four people from my family.

The four people looked at me, and their eyes flickered, but their faces were tinged with pity and understanding.
