Chapter 394: The government officials came to visit, everything was too weird
"It said, said, to wait for her husband and children."
Shang Zhen finally regained consciousness, blinked a few times, and glanced at the bewildered Ye Xiaomei: "Her husband and children?"
"Well, I told it that we would be reunited one day. I asked it to go upstream along this river. When it reached the Wujiang River, it had to be careful when it passed through a big mountain. Then it would see the Huaiyang River. It would go upstream along the way. It could only go downstream when it reached the Romer River outside Changshou Mountain. That... that place that used to be full of red maple leaves that looked like fire was its home."
Speaking of this, Ye Xiaomei's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know why she felt so distressed, as if it had happened to herself, as if the fire and the 749 rivets used to seal the pipes were hitting her body, and the scorching flames that permeated her body were burning her to the point of excruciating pain.
What shocked her the most at that time was that she didn't expect it to understand. In fact, what Ye Xiaomei thought in her heart was that its color was too bright and it would be easily discovered if it walked in shallow water areas, and it was so big.
I don't know if it has escaped in the dark at this time, so although the road she pointed out was a detour, it was a well-thought-out choice that specifically went through an inconspicuous deep water area.
The section of the road across the mountain is the most dangerous, so Ye Xiaomei pointed to a deserted and steep place in the mountains. As long as they pass it, they can go upstream along the turbulent river and reach their hometown.
Shang Zhen didn't understand what Ye Xiaomei was thinking, but guessed from her words: "Are you worried that it might be in danger on the way?"
Ye Xiaomei said nothing. She turned over and let her tears fall on the pillow as she spoke.
Shang Zhen noticed that she was in a particularly low mood, rolled his eyes and said, "I've read the fairy tale comic book. According to this progress, will the white snake give you a treasure as a thank-you gift?"
Ye Xiaomei suddenly stopped crying: "You've read too many fairy tales." Ye Xiaomei wanted to jump up and hit her.
But at this moment, my mind was full of details that Shang Zhen had never mentioned. When the voice of the snake echoed in my heart, it was talking about the ancestor.
Could it be that the ancestor snake that the scavenger master mentioned is really his own spirit?
Shang Zhen was at a loss for words. She was also shocked today: "I am just trying to make you happy. You were so happy before, and your smile was so beautiful."
"Then you smile too. You look very pretty when you smile. Go to bed quickly. Don't you have to set up the stall tomorrow morning?"
Ye Xiaomei evaded the question. It wasn't that she didn't like to laugh anymore, but she felt more and more desolate and hopeless for some unknown reason. Perhaps it was the sadness left by the ancestor snake.
Shang Zhen waved his hand and said, "I just want to make some quick money. I can't come to your house to celebrate the New Year without a penny and eat and live for free."
"I have money, you can eat and live for free, you can eat and live as much as you want." Ye Xiaomei suddenly remembered something:
"When I came here, I went to the school dormitory to look for you, but you were not there. I also heard that you left with some middle-aged man."
Speaking of this, Shang Zhen sighed helplessly, turned over with his back to Ye Xiaomei, and murmured:
"Isn't it because I have no money in my pocket? I called my dad to pick me up and asked him to give me some money."
Ye Xiaomei heard this and said, "It seems that he didn't get it."
Shang Zhen was in high spirits and all his sleepiness disappeared immediately: "Damn, this old grandson is poorer than me."
Old grandson? Ye Xiaomei covered her mouth and giggled: "You, no matter what, he is still a father, you actually call him old grandson."
"If he's not an old grandson, what is he? He used to treat me with money, but this time I asked him to treat me with money and he didn't even give me a few cents. He even told me how poor he was. He now smokes Tuanjie cigarettes, but he used to smoke Chung Hwa cigarettes. Ugh!"
Shang Zhen spat in disgust:
"I heard that my dad broke up with that woman. When I think about it, I'll be happy even if they don't give me money."
Ye Xiaomei chuckled: "Actually, your father is not as poor as you think. Didn't he buy the Sixi Hotel a few months ago? But now it's renamed Gong Ting Yu Kitchen. The dishes they make really have nothing to do with Gong Ting Yu Kitchen."
"You deserve it." Shang Zhen cursed and turned over and snored.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't sleep.
Perhaps only the Changshou Village and Changshou Mountain have such a natural awe for the white snake. This is also the place where people and nature are most harmonious. I hope it will arrive before the beginning of next spring.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei felt inexplicably sad. This season is the time for snakes and insects to hibernate, but it had to travel through mountains and rivers.
If it gets frozen, it will be troublesome.
Before the morning sun had a chance to shine in through the window, Ye Xiaomei heard footsteps outside.
Wang Lan's voice came - Sir, who are you looking for?
——Find your daughter-in-law and ask her to come out for a while. I have something to ask her.
Ye Xiaomei sat up straight subconsciously, and the cold wind penetrated into the quilt from under her body. Shang Zhen, who was sleeping in the hot quilt, subconsciously pulled the quilt.
Ye Xiaomei quickly and quietly got out of bed and dressed, leaving Shang Zhen, who was still sleepy, on the bed and went out by herself.
Ye Xiaomei knew what was going on. Yesterday, she brought Dabai through the alleys of several houses and headed straight for Xishan. Although they were too scared to go out, they could see it through the cracks in the windows and doors.
"Hey, Captain Li, long time no see." Ye Xiaomei greeted with a smile:
"Wait a moment, I'm going to wash my face."
Wang Lan appeared to be very diligent in front of outsiders. When she heard that her daughter-in-law wanted to wash her face, she hurried over with a kettle and added a lot of hot water to the basin.
I also tested the water temperature: "Okay, the temperature is just right, you can take a shower quickly, Xiaomei, I made some spicy soup, it will keep you warm."
There was another newcomer who came with Captain Li. He was young and spoke very nicely:
"Auntie, you really love your daughter-in-law."
Captain Li glanced at Xiao Qingxin beside him and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, wash your face first, I'll wait here."
Wang Lan was so happy that her heart blossomed. The whole village knew that she was the mother-in-law who loved her daughter-in-law the most, and she loved people praising her.
The more this happens, the stronger the team will be.
Ye Xiaomei knew it in her heart but could not find any reason to expose it. After washing her face, Ye Xiaomei combed her hair in front of the mirror in the living room:
"Captain Li, just ask me what you want to ask."
Captain Li was a little at a loss as he held the briefcase in his hands. After all, this was Captain Ma's daughter-in-law. How could he start?
The young man next to him chuckled and said:
"I know you. You are the wife of Commander Ma, the only soldier in Qingyang County who has risen to the rank of commander."
Captain Li didn't just look at him this time, he glared at him and said in a low voice, "We're doing business, not asking you to make connections."
After that, he turned around and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I'll be frank. I received a report from the public that you took away the snake that was smoked out of the foundation of General Niu's house last evening. Is this true?"
Ye Xiaomei took out the rubber band she was biting from her mouth and tied her hair up into a ponytail like a rooster's tail:
"Uh-huh, yes."
Captain Li's face suddenly darkened: "Where did you take your sister-in-law?"
He received a police report on this matter yesterday and started visiting each household in the west of the village early this morning before dawn. When he heard what they said, Captain Li didn't believe it.
Even in my dreams I could not imagine the scene of my sister-in-law leading a giant snake to the West Mountain, because it was too weird.
