Chapter 22: Erpi Meets a Monster

  Originally, before liberation, outside the city of Chaoyang, there was a person named Feng Erpi in Wudao River. His parents died early, and he had no ability to do anything. He usually relied on doing odd jobs for rich families to make a living. When his finances were tight, he would commit some petty theft or other minor misdeeds. The villagers took pity on him because his parents had died young, so they turned a blind eye to his behavior.

  On this day, Feng Erpi finished his work at Zhang Lao Ye's house, the largest landowner in the village, and after receiving this month's wages, he made an appointment with Tie Ge and Ma Liu Zi to go drinking in Chaoyang City.

  After entering the city, the two brothers first found a small restaurant, ordered two bottles of inferior liquor, one meat and three vegetarian dishes, and started drinking. After several cups of liquor, Ma Liu Zi said to Feng Er Pi: "Er Pi Zi, I think we shouldn't go back today. After finishing the wine, let's go to the brothel to find two big girls to have fun, what do you say?"

  These two people normally got along well, and when Feng Erpi heard what Ma Liu'zi said, he really did feel a bit itchy in his heart. However, as much as he felt itchy, Feng Erpi weighed the two big foreign coins in his pocket and couldn't bear to part with them.

  Then he said with a mouthful of food, "This is good, but we brothers are not rich now. With just this little silver, if we give it all to the prostitute, then next month we'll have to drink northwest wind." Ma Liu heard these words and felt deeply disappointed, but when he touched his pocket, he was also poor. At that time, the interest was lacking, so the two brothers silently drank wine without speaking again.

  Just as they were drinking and pulling the skin, the two of them discovered a strange phenomenon. It turned out that on the streets outside the shops in this city, there were suddenly many people coming and going. They were all in groups of three or two, drilling into the alleys, and soon not a few people had entered.

  The two brothers were delighted at the suggestion, and Ma Liu'zi chuckled: "Brothers, why don't we also go gamble a few hands? If we win money, we'll go visit the brothel. If our luck is bad, we'll keep half of it, save some for use, and it will be enough for next month's expenses." This remark struck a chord in Feng Erpi's heart, and the two immediately agreed. The brothers quickly finished the wine and dishes on the table, paid the bill, and hurriedly headed towards the gambling den in the alley.

  Today, the two of them were incredibly unlucky, to the point where they were almost begging for their grandmother's help. In no time at all, they had lost so much that only a few dozen cents were left in their pockets. The brothers' eyes turned red from losing, and they hatched a plan: might as well put everything on the line, who cares about anything else? As long as we can get our money back!

  Most people with this mindset have a strong desire to gamble, the more they lose, the more they want to recoup their losses, and in order to do so, they must continue to gamble. This vicious cycle continues, sinking them deeper and deeper, making it impossible for them to extricate themselves.

  As they lost the last bet, the two of them were left with nothing but their clean faces. The brothers were now really anxious, and after a brief discussion, they decided to resort to some underhanded tactics. So, the two began wandering around the gambling den, looking for a "soft touch" to take advantage of.

  This walnut bag was a slang from the past, referring to a wealthy person who is easily deceived. The two brothers wanted to find such a person and steal their money to make a profit. However, they didn't realize what kind of place this was? In the casino, there were people watching around, with eyes that shone like thieves', could they afford to break the rules? Just as the two found the walnut bag and were about to get away with it, they were caught red-handed by the casino guards!

  These two unlucky guys were beaten up by seven or eight people, and finally they were thrown out with their faces bruised. As they left, the thugs who were watching the scene warned them that if they dared to come back and cause trouble again, they would cut off their dog paws, and then each of them was kicked a few more times.

  The two brothers grumbled on the ground for half a day before getting up. They looked at each other's miserable appearance, and their hearts were even more furious. They thought to themselves: It's really a disaster! Not only did they lose money, but they also got beaten up, what a terrible luck!

  Feng Erpi blamed Ma Liu for coming up with this bad idea, and Ma Liu blamed Feng Erpi for being too clumsy. The two of them started blaming each other back and forth. Looking up at the sky, it had already darkened, so they decided to head home and not look for trouble anymore. And so the two of them walked out of the city with their heads hung low, like eggplants that had been hit by frost.

  The two of them didn't take the main road, but instead strolled along the riverbank. This route was much shorter than taking the main road. After walking for about two hours, Feng Erpi suddenly felt his stomach churning and felt like he was going to have diarrhea. He thought to himself that something was wrong and he needed to find a place to relieve himself. So he told Ma Liuzi to wait for him up ahead while he took care of his business.

  Ma Liu'zi was also tired from walking, so he squatted on a nearby rock to smoke and wait for him. Feng Erpi found a secluded spot to relieve himself, just as he had undone his pants, he suddenly heard a woman's singing voice coming from the quiet riverbank!

  They said it was singing, but in fact, it was just humming. In this desolate mountain and wilderness, at midnight, where did the female ghost come from? The two brothers were getting more and more scared, the more they listened, the more their hair stood on end. They thought to themselves that maybe they had encountered the "Ghost of Spring" that the older generation talked about!

  Later, Feng Erpi didn't even dare to fart anymore. The two of them pulled up their pants and ran forward desperately. Ma Liu was in the front, and Feng Erpi was behind. As they were running like this, Ma Liu suddenly fell to the ground. Feng Erpi got a big fright, not knowing what happened, and immediately also fell to the ground.

  Feng Erpi crawled to the front of Ma Liu's son, wanting to ask him what was going on, when Ma Liu's son covered Feng Erpi's mouth with his hand, signaling him not to speak. Feng Erpi had been beaten and frightened all night, and his mind was already a bit dizzy. Now he was even more afraid in his heart. Just as he was wondering, he saw Ma Liu's two eyes staring straight ahead! Feng Erpi was curious, so he followed Ma Liu's gaze and looked forward too. As soon as he looked, he was stunned on the spot!

  Look ahead and see a river, there is actually a naked girl! Naked with snow-white skin, taking a bath!

  This is really a feast for the eyes! The two brothers were getting more and more envious, their earlier fright completely forgotten. They just stared blankly like this, not knowing how long they had been looking, when Ma Liu's son poked Feng Erpi with his hand and winked: "Brother, do you see? Our good fortune has arrived!"

  Feng Erpi heard this and felt that something was off, so he quickly grabbed his clothes and said: "Liu Zi, we can fool around sometimes, but we can't do anything too outrageous! That woman up ahead is someone's wife, we've had our fun, now let's not get any ideas!"

  But then Ma Liu'zi suddenly let go of Feng Erpi's hand and slapped him on the head, her eyes wide with anger as she scolded: "You stupid fool! Whose good woman runs around at midnight? You didn't hear her humming that little tune, did you? It sounds just like a prostitute calling out for customers! Do I need to ask? This is definitely someone who's thinking about men!"

  You wouldn't believe it, but after listening to Ma Liu's words, Feng Erpi found that the more he listened to the woman humming, the more it seemed to have that kind of meaning. So his heart also began to stir up. Afterwards, the two brothers discussed and decided to let Ma Liu go and investigate first. If she was really a passionate woman, they couldn't disappoint themselves, so the two brothers would accompany her and have a good time. But if she was a respectable married woman, neither of them was allowed to have any improper thoughts, and they would honestly return home and do what they should do.

  After the discussion, Ma Liu Zi came out from behind the stone and walked towards the woman. Feng Er Pi hid behind the stone to sneak a peek. As soon as Ma Liu Zi came out, the woman discovered him, but instead of being frightened or shouting, she proactively turned her body around.

  Not only did she turn around, but also swung her two snow-white buttocks, smiling and flirting with Maz Liu. Maz Liu was originally here for this, how could he bear it when the woman flirted with him? At that moment, without saying a word, he stripped himself naked, jumped into the water, and started being intimate with the woman.

  Feng Erpi saw that the two of them were getting along well, and he immediately became anxious. However, there was still something hard in his stomach that hadn't been released yet, and it was suffocating him. So he hurriedly took off his pants to relieve himself, thinking anxiously: "Ma Liu's son, you little scoundrel, slow down a bit! I don't want to stir-fry the rice again!" Just as Feng Erpi was in a hurry, something strange happened!

  Feng Erpi was originally concentrating on watching the two people being affectionate, but suddenly he discovered that something was off about the woman in front. It turned out that at some point, a red line had appeared from the top of her head to her navel.

  Feng Erpi's heart was filled with a sense of foreboding, and he quickly narrowed his eyes to take a closer look. He saw that the red thread was splitting wider and wider, and suddenly, the woman's body split into two halves like a strange mouth!

  Goodness gracious, what kind of woman's body is this? It's clearly a huge, ferocious mouth! Inside the crimson mouth are rows of sharp, hooked teeth!

  Feng Erpi was so scared that he let out a loud "Oh no!" and fell onto his butt.

  As he watched Mazi Liu, he saw that strange mouth bite down on his upper body in one swift motion. Before anyone could even react to shout out, he was swallowed whole!

  The scene in front of him scared Feng Erpi so much that his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, he felt short of breath and tight in the chest, and a hot sensation in his crotch, a stream of yellow urine flowed out along his pants leg. In his heart, Feng Erpi cried out: "Damn it, my grandma, what the hell is this?"

  Feng Erpi sat on the ground, dazed and confused, not even noticing whether he was sitting on his own feces. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe loudly. He didn't know how long he had been waiting until the sky brightened at the horizon, when he finally heard the sound of someone approaching through the water.

  Feng Erpi plucked up the courage, and stealthily took a peek. He saw that the woman in front of him by the river suddenly plunged into the water with a loud splash, and then a long, green snake tail was flung out of the water!
