Chapter 246: Two-headed snake blocking the road, an ominous sign

After walking out of the room, Yuan Chun walked all the way to the hotel entrance before stopping. Qiqi followed closely behind him. When she saw Yuan Chun stop, she also stood obediently beside him.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Yuan, I was wrong, I'm a jerk, I know I shouldn't have done this..."

Qiqi lowered her head deeply and apologized proactively.

"Are there any difficulties at home?"

Yuan Chun didn't say much, but asked directly in a calm tone.

"That's right...something happened to my mom. My dad died of an acute illness when I was very young. My family's savings were wiped out by his illness, and ever since then, my mom has been raising me all by herself until now."

"To support my family, my mother rides her bike to the county market every morning before dawn to sell vegetables. But a while ago, it rained and the roads were slippery, and my mother fell off her bike. She was seriously injured. The hospitalization and surgery will cost a fortune, which my family simply can't afford. But I can't watch my mother die in the hospital because she can't raise the fees."

"So I agreed to Cai Junjia's request... I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan, I really have no other choice. I'm really sorry!"

Qiqi explained her situation and apologized and bowed to Yuan Chun repeatedly.

"Do you have a place to stay here?"

"No... I came here with Cai Junjia."

Yuan Chun didn't say much after hearing that and took out his cell phone to make a call. After a while, a Porsche sports car came speeding over and the door opened. It was Daiwa.

"What's wrong, Master Yuan? Didn't we just separate and you called me out? Why can't you bear to leave me?"

Daiwao walked over with her high heels clicking and laughing.

Yuan Chun didn't waste any words and simply explained the situation.

"She has nowhere to go and no relatives here, so it's not convenient for me to take her with me. Please let her stay at your place tonight."

"It's just a small matter, it's not a big deal. My little sister is so pretty, luckily she didn't get ruined by that bastard named Cai. Qiqi, come with me today."

As he said that, Daiwa took Qiqi's hand.

"Go ahead. Don't worry about your mother. She'll be fine. I'll take you home tomorrow."

After saying that, Daiwa took Qiqi away.

Looking at the direction the two left, Yuan Chun sighed softly.

He did not criticize or educate Qiqi about her behavior. The matter involved the life and death of her biological mother. There was probably nothing people at that time would not do.

If I were to do the same thing, I might not necessarily do it better than Qiqi.

......

After a while, a car came speeding over. It was his car.

The car stopped and Yuan Chun opened the door and got in.

"Okay, Master Yuan, everything is done. The money is enough for that woman to be discharged from the hospital."

Guo Yingyi spoke.

"Well, let's go back."

Yuan Chun nodded in response.

The time they had been waiting was just for Guo Yingyi to go to the hospital to pay for Qiqi's mother's surgery and hospitalization fees.

Meeting is fate, and since Yuan Chun knew about this, he just helped out, which can be considered as accumulating merit for himself.

In other words, he made a lot of money from fortune-telling and selling jade talismans, but he had no place to spend the money, so doing some good deeds was the best option.

......

After receiving Yuan Chun's instructions, Guo Yingyi stepped on the accelerator and headed straight back to Qingyang City.

“Ding ding ding…”

Not long after, Yuan Chun's phone rang. It was a text message from Daiwa.

[I like Qiqi very much. I plan to take her in as my assistant. I will definitely not treat her unfairly. I will protect her from now on, don't worry.]

Looking at Daiwa's text message, Yuan Chun smiled faintly. He was reassured about Daiwa's character.

--------------------

There was no conversation along the way. It was almost late at night and Yuan Chun closed his eyes slightly, feeling drowsy.

After an unknown amount of time, Guo Yingyi suddenly cried out in surprise, and then slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

"What's going on?"

The violent vibration woke Yuan Chun up and he asked.

"Master Yuan, there's a snake blocking the road ahead..."

Guo Yingyi turned around and said.

According to traditional customs, drivers usually drive around snakes when they see them on the road and would avoid running over them.

What's more, if a person accidentally runs over a snake on the road, he or she will stop the car and bow twice to the snake's corpse to pray to the snake fairy not to blame him or her.

"A snake blocking the road?"

Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows, then pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Under the cover of darkness, about ten meters ahead of the road, a three-meter-long spotted snake was lazily lying in the middle of the road, like a hemp rope, blocking the road tightly, and it looked as if it was trying to collect a toll.

"Brother Snake, we are crossing the road, please give me some convenience, I..."

Yuan Chun approached the patterned snake, and his expression suddenly changed while he was chatting and laughing.

Because the snake in front of him actually has two heads!

"Holy crap! What kind of monster is this? Why does it have two heads?! When I was a kid, my grandma told me stories about a two-headed snake monster in ancient times. I actually saw one today!?"

Guo Yingyi walked over and his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

"Late at night, two-headed snake, what time is it now, Yingyi?"

Yuan Chun frowned.

"Now let me see...it's exactly midnight."

Guo Yingyi looked at his watch and replied.

"It's really midnight... This isn't good."

Yuan Chun's face darkened slightly.

"What's wrong, Master Yuan? Is there something wrong? You don't look well."

Guo Yingyi scratched his head. This was the first time he saw Yuan Chun with this expression.

"Gods and ghosts are invisible, two heads suddenly appear, blocking the road at midnight, there must be something ominous..."

Yuan Chun's face was solemn and he spoke in a low voice.

"Ominous? Master Yuan, are you saying that the appearance of this two-headed snake is an ominous sign? Is something going to happen soon?"

Guo Yingyi was shocked. Yuan Chun's words just now were quite intimidating.

"I don't know what will happen. I can predict the future, but I can't predict the future. But such a coincidence shouldn't happen for no reason..."

Yuan Chun looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

"Hey, Mr. Yuan, don't overthink it. It might just be a coincidence. The snake happened to be looking for a midnight snack and passed by us. It has nothing to do with any ominous signs. This possibility is very high, right?"

Guo Yingyi smiled and said.

"Forget it. I hope you're right and I'm overthinking it. It would be best if nothing happens."

Yuan Chun nodded, but he still felt something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, the two-headed snake blocking the road did not stay for long. It twisted its body and disappeared into the roadside jungle covered by the night.

Yuan Chun and Guo Yingyi did not delay any longer and drove away quickly.
