No. 355 Burial
As she spoke, she looked towards the snake cave and said, "As we agreed, we'll each get half. However, I'm not short of spirit essence right now, so I'll come back later to get it."
Zang Nian stared at her intently for a long moment before he murmured, "Okay."
"Then I won't bother you, Master. I'll be leaving now."
As she spoke, she turned and walked out of the valley. However, halfway through, she added, "I will come to visit the wizard again another day."
Zang Nian watched her leave quietly until her figure disappeared. Only then did he withdraw his gaze, sit down on the spot, and begin to regulate his breathing.
As Si He walked out of the valley, she completely suppressed the evil spirit, then she tiptoed and leaped into the forest.
The woods were pitch black, but she moved freely in the night as if it were daytime.
She had indeed not touched the tomb beneath the snake cave. The door had been sealed for a long time, and the spirit essence had obviously not been excavated. She told the truth because, firstly, if Zang Nian came here, he would find it sooner or later, so it would be better to sell it. Secondly, she also hoped to find a helper for Mo Mo.
I hope Zang Nian can live to see her wake up from her deep sleep.
If I could really use my hidden thoughts to protect Mo Mo from disaster, what would be wrong with giving him a place to recuperate?
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, Zang Nian will become an excellent body for nourishing essence.
Si He was leaping all the way through the forest, and only then did she remember the horse she had tied up yesterday. She wondered if it was still alive.
She originally wanted to look for Momo first, but after thinking about it, she turned around and went to look for Ma first.
After a long time, she finally reached the woods where the horse was tied based on the route she remembered. However, as soon as she approached the woods, she noticed something strange.
Quiet, especially quiet.
It was eerily quiet here, just like it was in the valley before.
But, she also smelled a familiar scent, Mo Mo's scent.
I didn't expect it to come here.
Si He paused for a moment before continuing to leap towards the horse.
The horse is still alive and well. With Mo Mo here, ordinary wild animals dare not approach here.
At this time, Momo was coiled on a big tree with its tail hanging down and swaying. The horse was under the tree, stretching its neck to eat the grass outside. Because the grass under the tree had been eaten, the two of them got along as they did before, very quietly.
This was the scene Si He saw when she came here.
"咴咴~"
"hiss~"
The two guys noticed her arrival at the first moment and called out to her at the same time. Mo Mo even climbed down from the tree and rushed to her side.
"hiss~"
"Momo is really amazing. He actually came here."
Si He reached out and touched its head, and it rubbed its head against her, very intimately.
After a while, it retracted its head and looked around.
Seeing its action, Si He naturally understood what it meant. Suddenly, her eyes began to feel sore again.
She didn't want to cry at first, but Mo Mo's action made her tears flow like a spring, drop after drop.
She sniffed, but eventually couldn't control herself and burst into tears.
Momo was immediately frightened, and it stretched out its head again and rubbed her gently.
She reached out and held Momo's head, continuing to cry sadly.
Seeing her like this, Momo didn't move and let her hold him, even though it was quite uncomfortable.
The forest was so quiet that only her crying could be heard. The horse not far away stopped eating grass and just watched her quietly.
She cried for a long time, venting her emotions before she slowly calmed down. Her eyes were red from crying.
She let go of Momo's head, hugged the small bundle in her arms, and said to Momo with a choked voice: "My husband...he passed away here."
Mo Mo didn't seem to understand. He lowered his head and looked at the small bundle in her arms, then looked at her again, with a look of confusion in his big eyes.
"hiss~"
"That's right, he got sick and died." She sniffed again and said, "I'll find him later!"
When she said this, her expression was firm, as if she was talking to herself.
Momo stood in front of her blankly, his body leaning against the grass, his tail stiff, motionless.
After a long while, Mo Mo lowered his head and gently rubbed the small bundle in her arms.
Seeing this, Si He's eyes became sore again. She also lowered her head, quietly looking at the bundle in her arms, gently stroking it with her hand.
The man and the snake just looked at the bundle quietly, their moods obviously depressed.
After a long time, Si He withdrew his gaze, reached out and touched Mo Mo's head, "Let's go, go to your territory first."
"hiss~"
Si He walked to the big tree, touched the horse again, and then untied the ropes.
At this time, the horse also rubbed her with its head, very intimately and as if to comfort her.
Suddenly, she felt guilty. It was actually quite dangerous to tie it to this tree for so long.
"Sorry, I just came to pick you up now."
She reached out and touched the horse again, and the horse called out to her twice, "Neigh~"
Mo Mo also followed along with two sounds, "hiss~"
Si He raised the corner of her lips and said, "Let's go."
As she spoke, she jumped onto the horse, and Momo climbed in front to lead the way.
Momo crawled very fast, so the horse trotted behind him. After passing through the woods and climbing over two mountains, they arrived at the place where Momo usually moved around.
Here is another snake valley. The environment is pretty good, cool and humid, very suitable for snakes to live.
As soon as you step into this place, you can hear a lot of rustling sounds around you, and there are snakes everywhere.
But Momo was obviously the boss here. As soon as it arrived, the small snakes around it all avoided it.
The environment here is good for snakes, but it is also a good place for some professional snake catchers because there are really many kinds of snakes here.
In the past, when Si He and Ning Ji went into the mountains to look for medicine, they met some snake catchers.
Although Momo is quite big now, the harm it poses to humans cannot be underestimated. In the eyes of snake catchers, it is really a treasure and much more valuable than those small snakes. If someone really wants to attack it, it may not be able to withstand it.
In the past, when she was asleep, it was often besieged by others. Many times, when it couldn't win, it ran back to Ning Ji and asked him to deal with it.
But now, she was afraid that Momo would get into trouble after she fell asleep, so she showed her goodwill to Zang Nian, hoping that if Momo got into trouble in the future, he could take refuge with him.
After a while, Momo took Sihe to a cave. This was its nest and also its hibernation place.
Si He got off the horse and walked to a small tree not far away.
This is a honey fruit tree. Last autumn, she and Ning Ji picked fruits from this tree.
She stood under the tree and looked for a while before she squatted down, took out a dagger, and dug a hole in the grass next to the tree.
Momo crawled next to her and watched her movements quietly.
After she had dug a deeper hole, she stopped, took out the jar of ashes from her bag, opened the lid, and poured the entire jar of ashes into the hole.
