Chapter 1 My name is Lin Shisan
My name is Lin Shisan, an ominous person. People in the forest farm say that I was born of a snake demon.
Eighteen years ago, there was lightning and thunder one night, and a green-scaled python more than ten meters long was killed outside Laolingou Forest Farm.
After the forestry workers discovered it, the python's belly was still moving gurglingly.
Unexpectedly, after cutting open the snake's belly, a baby covered in blood was found inside.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the baby's pupils glowed with a green light, as frightening as a venomous snake.
Everyone thought it was unlucky and thought the baby was the fetus of a snake demon, so they were afraid to avoid it.
Finally, Sang Ye, the barefoot doctor at the forestry farm, couldn't bear it and took the baby home in a shabby military coat.
This monster that everyone avoids is me.
Because I picked it up from Laolingou and it happened to be July 13th, Mr. Sang gave me the name Lin Shisan.
I was born different from ordinary people. Apart from a pair of cyan snake eyes, my skin has a layer of dry scabs like snake skin.
What's even more weird is that these dry scabs fall off once a year, just like a snake and python shedding its skin, over and over again.
Every time the scabs fall off, I will become very weak for a few days, and Mr. Sang will specially prepare a medicinal bath to nurse me back to health. After that, I will become like a normal person again.
This almost solidified the rumor that I was a demon fetus, so much so that most people in the forest farm regarded me as an alien, except Mr. Sang who always treated me like a close relative.
Mr. Sang has stayed in Laolingou for decades, and no one knows his full name.
In my own impression, Mr. Sang is a thin, dark old man with a goatee and scimitar eyebrows.
I spent the whole day sitting at the gate of the lumber factory with a big iron tea vat, chatting nonsense with a group of old women who stayed behind at the forest farm, but I couldn't see anything extraordinary about him.
But everyone said that Mr. Sang was a man of great ability, and even the branch secretary of the forestry farm had to give him some slack.
Mr. Sang once told me that my eyes are a pair of snake pupils given by God, with the ability to peer into yin and yang.
I didn't quite believe it at first, until something strange happened in the forest farm that winter.
I remember clearly that there was white snow falling that day, and the forest was whistling in the northwest wind.
Wu Dahai, the old branch secretary of the forestry farm, came to the door covered in travel and looked very anxious.
Mr. Sang was sitting around the stove warming his hands. He glanced up at Old Party Secretary Wu and spat a mouthful of tea foam on the ground.
"Hey, what a rare visitor! What kind of evil wind brought Comrade Wu here to do the work of a backward element like me?"
"Lao Sang, please don't bury me. Xiao Ru is possessed by an evil spirit. Please help her go and have a look."
Xiao Ru is a female educated youth who came up from the city to join the team. She is young and beautiful, and is a rare educated youth in the forest farm.
"Why are you panicking? It's just evil. It's not a funeral." Mr. Sang calmly took a sip of tea.
Secretary Wu was so anxious that he stepped forward and snatched the tea jar from Mr. Sang's hand.
These educated youths were very valuable, and if something happened, he couldn't afford it.
"Rescuing emergencies is like putting out fires, so just be a helping hand, okay?"
Mr. Sang slowly stood up and wiped the water stain on his hand on the cotton hat of Party Secretary Wu.
"Thirteen, go to the kangtou and pick up the copper box. I will take you to learn more about it."
I was not a big man at that time, and the copper box was even half a head taller than me, but Mr. Sang had no intention of helping me.
I almost dragged and dragged it, and it took a lot of effort to drag the box to Xiao Ru's residence.
Before entering the yard, I heard strange sounds coming from the room.
It sounded like laughter, but it was worse than crying.
At this moment, the perimeter of the courtyard was full of people. I could faintly feel a fishy smell pouring into my nose, and I couldn't help but cover my mouth and nose.
But judging from other people's reactions, it seemed like I was the only one who smelled this smell.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Sang noticed something strange about me.
I hesitated for a moment and had to answer truthfully.
"I seem to smell a fishy smell."
Mr. Sang stroked his goatee, thoughtfully.
At this moment, Party Secretary Lao Wu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling back and forth.
Mr. Sang raised his eyebrows slightly and opened the door curtain.
The curtains were still drawn in broad daylight in the house, and it was pitch dark. A figure with disheveled hair could be vaguely seen huddled in the corner.
Logically speaking, the air should be very dry in the middle of winter, but I saw wet water stains everywhere on the ground.
The black shadows on the ground were twisting like water snakes, and they were clearly clumps of wet hair.
I was startled and almost screamed out of fear.
Before I could say anything, Mr. Sang had already covered my mouth and made a silent gesture.
"Some things are good for you to see for yourself, and don't scare other people."
A chill ran down my spine, and I nodded while pretending to be calm.
"When did she start acting like this?" Sang Ye asked.ωωw..net
Old Party Secretary Wu frowned and recalled for a moment.
"About a week ago, Xiao Ru said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to take a few days off.
This child is beautiful and educated, and he works hard without complaint.
I didn't think much about it at the time and agreed.
But I haven't seen her for several days in a row. I was worried that something had happened, so I wanted to come over and have a look today.
Who would have thought something really happened!"
"Thirteen came in with me, and the others immediately left the yard."
Mr. Sang whispered a warning and tiptoed into the house.
When Party Secretary Lao Wu heard the sound, he quickly shouted back and kicked those who were watching the fun out of the yard.
I looked at the swaying hair on the ground and felt retching in my stomach, so I could only follow Mr. Sang cautiously.
"Hey Hey……"
Creepy sounds echoed in the room, and there seemed to be some thorny sounds mixed with the water-stained ground.
The wet hair squirmed back and forth on the ground like a black snake.
Xiao Ru leaned against the wall tremblingly, and these strange hairs wriggled and twined along his neck, shrinking constantly.
Xiao Ru's face turned pale and she seemed to have difficulty breathing.
Sang Ye took out two willow leaves from his pocket, wiped his eyes gently twice, and then his eyes fell on the wall behind Xiao Ru.
A large blood-red mushroom lay on the dark wall, and these wet hairs were produced from this bloody mushroom.
I swallowed, my face turned pale with fear.
"Master Sang, what on earth is this?"
Mr. Sang's expression was solemn, and he spoke for a long time.
"This thing is called Yin Spirit Resentment! It is a kind of resentment spirit condensed by the dead baby with the help of resentment."
The ghost of the dead baby!
"Where did this perfectly fine dead baby come from?" I scratched my head in confusion.
Mr. Sang glanced at Xiao Ru and couldn't help but sigh.
"Go and open the box. It's important to save people first."
I hurriedly opened the copper box and was a little dazed.
Compass, peach wood sword, incense burner, talismans, copper coins, ink fountain......
