1o111 New Urban Farmers Chapter 156 A Different Kind of Honeymoon (6,000 words)
As Bai Niangzi's icy body meandered along Zhang Guodong's arm, just as his heart was in his throat, Bai Niangzi finally stopped on his shoulder, her lifeless little eyes staring at Zhang Guodong.
A man and a snake are staring at each other.
"This..." Many people stared in astonishment, their minds reeling. Just now, the White Snake Lady had attacked Zhang Guodong, but now that she'd let go, she wasn't taking the opportunity to hurt him? Could this young man Zhang be a snake charmer?
Only snake handlers possess the aura of snakes; snakes generally do not attack them, treating them as one of their own kind.
Zhang Guodong was actually quite uneasy. While stroking the smooth body of the Snake Queen, he was also anxious, fearing that she might attack him again. If that failed, he would lose face big time.
The hissing sound of Bai Suzhen's tongue could even brush against Zhang Guodong's cheek.
A moment later, Zhang Guodong saw that the White Snake Queen seemed to be about to descend, and he secretly felt relieved. He squatted down and placed her on the ground. The White Snake Queen then slithered towards her little creatures, leading them away into the tall grass.
The way everyone looked at Zhang Guodong was completely different now. This young man wasn't afraid of snakes at all, and they didn't even attack him? No wonder he dared to build a house in Snake Nest Valley.
"Alright everyone, go on your way, it's all over!" Zhang Guodong waved to the crowd and said.
Once the matter was resolved, everyone lost interest in watching the spectacle and returned to their respective posts.
Zheng Le was very worried about Zhang Guodong's safety, but now that she saw that everything was alright, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and her face flushed. What was I thinking?
Zhang Guodong smiled at her and said, "Come on, let's go for a walk up the mountain. The project should be finished by this afternoon. In a few days, we'll build a small house on this field ridge right here. With the hot sun, it'll be ready to move in soon. We can spend our honeymoon here. You can help me tend the field ridge. If you're interested in building a yard, we can even raise some snakes."
Keeping snakes? Zheng Le rolled her eyes at him and snorted. He scared her just now, and now he wants to keep snakes?
The sizable field ridges in front of us were overgrown with weeds. The lush greenery was largely due to the moderate rains of the past two days, which had greatly accelerated the regrowth of the vegetation.
Zheng Le was wearing a matching couple's tracksuit, which complemented Zhang Guodong's Li-Ning outfit perfectly. Both of them were also wearing hiking boots, indicating they had come prepared.
Zhang Guodong stepped onto the ridge first, and Zheng Le was seething with hatred. This guy had deliberately led her towards a snake pit. She was afraid of snakes, even more afraid to touch them, and even more afraid of accidentally stepping on a venomous snake.
"Guodong, slow down, wait for me!" Zheng Le anxiously looked down at the ground like a little rabbit.
Zhang Guodong stopped ahead, laughing carefree.
With his fist technique having broken through to the eleventh level, his sensory range increased by another two meters, reaching twenty-two meters. Within this range, he could see everything perfectly. For a poisonous snake or anything like that to attack the two of them was simply wishful thinking.
Zheng Le was almost upon Zhang Guodong when he suddenly had a mischievous thought and exclaimed, "Watch out!"
"Ah!" Zheng Le cried out, her face turning pale, and she rushed into Zhang Guodong's arms, terrified. "What snake? Where?"
"Snake? Where did this snake come from?" Zhang Guodong said, suppressing a laugh. He held her tightly in his arms, enjoying the gentle embrace. Holding a beautiful woman certainly put him in a good mood; her red lips and big eyes... Zhang Guodong wanted to kiss and taste her several times.
However, there are too many people here, and these scenes that are not suitable for children cannot be shown to the public for free.
Upon noticing Zhang Guodong's wicked smile, Zheng Le immediately realized she had been tricked and bit Zhang Guodong's arm to vent her anger.
"Ouch!" Zhang Guodong's face changed color, his arm felt like it was about to fall off from the excruciating pain. He was only wearing thin clothes, and that bite was really brutal!
"Puppy, let go! The meat's about to fall off!" Zhang Guodong said, wincing in pain.
"You're the little dog, trying to scare me!" Zheng Le blushed, realizing he'd fallen for the trick, and released the dog in a huff.
But seeing Zhang Guodong's pained expression, Zheng Le knew he had really hurt him and felt a surge of pleasure. After that came anxiety.
"Wife, you're so cruel! Look, you're bleeding!" Zhang Guodong carefully rolled up his sleeve, revealing a crescent-shaped tooth mark on his arm, stained with blood.
"Oh, I didn't mean to! Serves you right for scaring me!" Zheng Le said, embarrassed and annoyed. She'd actually bitten him herself? Being with this guy made her easily lose her temper. "Serves you right for being so unruly!"
Zhang Guodong felt a bit guilty. He immediately regretted it and said, "How did I scare you? I only said be careful, but you took it as a problem with understanding the Snake Family and having a problem with courage. Now you'll have a scar on your arm!"
scar?
Zhang Guodong's statement that he would not stay was just talk.
Zheng Le felt a little embarrassed, then realized she was still half-leaning in Zhang Guodong's arms. She quickly stood up and said, "Let's go. I'm afraid of snakes, so don't scare me. Otherwise, it'll bite you again next time!"
"I'm not trying to scare you, just think of it as being bitten by a puppy, my own puppy!" Zhang Guodong said.
Zheng Le couldn't do anything about Zhang Guodong's shamelessness.
Zhang Guodong, holding her hand, said in a high-sounding manner, "I'm afraid there might be snakes; if we get close, we can keep an eye on them!"
Then he wouldn't let go of Zheng Le's little hand. It was cool and soft in Zhang Guodong's palm, and he felt a surge of masculine pride.
"Lele?" Zhang Guodong said.
"Hmm?" Zheng Le responded.
"Where are you from? Tell me what you looked like when you were a child. I bet you were ugly," Zhang Guodong said.
Zheng Le held his breath and thought, "How can you talk to someone like that?"
Zhang Guodong immediately added, "From ugly duckling to swan, Enmei's neck is fair and delicate, let me see. Her collarbone is rounded and beautiful, let me take a closer look?"
Zhang Guodong's lustful eyes kept staring at Zheng Le's protruding chest. Looking inside her neckline, one could see an alluring cleavage; the two plump breasts were a feast for the eyes.
Zheng Le couldn't stand his gaze any longer, so she simply turned her head away and ignored him. But her neck, ears, and cheeks were as red as if they had been painted with rouge, making her look incredibly beautiful.
What's worse, the two of them were walking hand in hand along the ridges of the fields, and the pace was incredibly slow. Zheng Le felt as if an eternity had passed, and a strange emotion was growing within him. Perhaps time could slow down even further.
"Have you seen enough?" Zheng Le finally broke down, frowning as she looked at him.
"Not enough, but hehe, we can watch it next time. It would be best to watch it for a lifetime!" Zhang Guodong said.
The word "lifetime" made Zheng Le's heart tremble a few times.
She didn't want to answer that question.
As they spoke, the two climbed up the barren mountain, only at the top could they see further.
The sheer scale of the Qinling Mountains, with their overlapping peaks and indistinct silhouettes, deeply impressed Zhang Guodong. This place was also on the edge of the Qinling Mountains. He could see for kilometers, the greenery within seemingly more lush than ever before.
Zheng Le instantly fell in love with the feeling of climbing to a high place. With a wide view and clear air, a bright smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
“So beautiful!” Zheng Le exclaimed.
“It’s beautiful! I’ve been to Qinglang Mountain in the Qinling Mountains before, and the second time I went to another place in the mountains, Shiya. This is the third time I’ve been close to it!” Zhang Guodong said.
"Green Wolf Mountain? Are there wolves there?" Zheng Le asked curiously, his heart tightening.
“The locals call them blue wolves, and I saw the wolf king!” Zhang Guodong said.
"A wolf king? Is it very tall and fierce?"
“The En Wolf King is a third larger than a regular blue wolf and runs extremely fast. Encountering a wolf king is a very dangerous thing for an ordinary person!” Zhang Guodong thought of Old Qing.
This guy eats and drinks well in Peach Blossom Spring and has plenty of land to exercise and run. Now he has not only gained weight and become stronger, but also grown a little taller. He is not only fierce but also has a more imposing presence.
"So big?" Zheng Le exclaimed in surprise. "I've seen wolves in zoos, but they're like dogs, not very big, but very ferocious. Sometimes our station hosts events where brave souls can sign up to stay with wolf or tiger packs for a few days!"
"Hehe, the wolves and tigers in the zoo aren't that fierce; only the wild ones are. These wild animals aren't actually scary. I'll take you to see them sometime!" Zhang Guodong said. "Actually, I have two ferocious Tibetan tigers with me. They're not yet adults, but they already have the physique of adults, much scarier than ordinary Tibetan tigers!"
"Hidden prize?" Zheng Le's eyes lit up.
Zhang Guodong knew she liked dogs, but strangely, the Zheng family didn't seem to keep any pets.
"Guodong, may I take a look at them?" Zheng Le asked shyly.
“Of course you’re their mistress. Big Black and Little Black are very docile towards their mistress, but they’re very hostile towards strangers. I’ll bring them over tomorrow. Oh, and there are two blue wolves too,” Zhang Guodong said with a smile. He intentionally omitted mentioning the three blue wolves and two large bears. These things would eventually have to be told.
However, this guy is very mean and keeps reinforcing Zheng Le's identity as the mistress of the house, or rather, the second mistress of the house.
Zheng Le rolled her eyes at him and ignored Zhang Guodong's verbal refusals about taking advantage of her. What else could she do?
"A wolf?" Zheng Le suddenly realized that Zhang Guodong's last sentence seemed to imply that he had raised a wolf?
Zhang Guodong nodded with a smile. "Speak," he said. "You seem distracted; your reaction is so slow."
A huge wave of turmoil surged within Zheng Le. For a moment, she stared at Zhang Guodong in astonishment, as if trying to see right through him. Was this still the seemingly honest and unassuming Zhang Guodong? Was this still the Zhang Guodong who sold vegetables? The wolf-raising man?
At this moment, Zheng Le seemed to be attracted to Zhang Guodong.
Who exactly is he? Good heavens!
"That's why I say wild animals aren't scary. I can interact with them quite well, even snakes. Most snakes are either venomous or non-venomous. They're not really scary. Of course, there are a very few snakes in the world that are currently dangerous!" Zhang Guodong said proudly.
The image of the two small snakes, one gold and one green, flashed through his mind again. Those snakes were likely among the most powerful venomous snakes. Their speed was lightning-fast, comparable to Zhang Guodong's punches—extremely rare! Their venom was so potent that he dared not attempt to kill them lightly.
Those two small snakes might be an unusual venomous species that evolved from snakes in Earth's past? The fact that such a powerful venomous snake could evolve in a mere 28 million years of snake evolution truly proves the saying: the world is full of wonders.
Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le stood on the mountaintop. When they got tired, they sat down on the ground and looked at the surrounding scenery. The view of all the mountains was incredibly romantic.
This was a very important time for the two of them.
The two of them came down from the mountain in the late afternoon, still feeling a little reluctant to leave. However, it was getting dark. The road construction was also coming to an end. Zhang Guodong, holding Zheng Le's hand, walked past the crowd in tacit agreement.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Go back and tell your boss that once the project passes inspection tomorrow, the remaining money will be transferred to your accounts this afternoon," Zhang Guodong said casually, shaking hands with the project manager.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, don't worry!"
Once the construction team leaves, the cleanup work will have to be done by the villagers themselves. For example, they will have to take care of the "Iron Thorn" river, clean the road, and do other miscellaneous tasks.
Uncle Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief.
The project was finally completed a month ago. They actually managed to carve a road through this area, so villagers no longer need to go down the river to get into the mountains. Instead, they can simply use the arched bridge on the other side.
“Uncle, we need two people to look after the roadside and the iron brambles above. Could you help me choose two? One of them will be there at the same time. Also, the riverbed needs to be cleared. All the earth and stones must be cleared to one place. If the project passes inspection tomorrow, then the field ridges must be leveled. After leveling, I plan to build a two-story building. We'll still need to hire people for the construction,” Zhang Guodong said to Uncle Zhao.
He gave this person and this favor to Uncle Zhao and let him decide.
Uncle Zhao's eyes lit up as he took a drag of his cigarette. He nodded, glanced at Zheng Le, who was wearing large sunglasses next to Zhang Guodong, and said, "Well, I'll take care of this for you. It's about making money for the villagers, so I'll leave it to you."
She thought to herself, "What a pity, Lan girl. This young man definitely has a woman."
He overheard some women talking about Lan Hua and Zhang Xiaohuo, and Uncle Zhao became somewhat interested. Lan Hua was his niece, and now that she was a widow, he felt he had to take care of her. If he could keep Zhang Xiaohuo in Jixing Village, that would be a great thing!
Look at how much they spent on road construction! They're incredibly wealthy!
Everyone got a thousand or two this month, right? We all benefited from it. Even though he only gets two thousand a month, Zhang Guodong usually gives him at least two thousand more for food, drinks, alcohol, cigarettes, and so on.
Zhang Guodong had no idea what Uncle Zhao was thinking.
When everyone was gathered together, and their wages were all paid in cash, everyone was overjoyed. They were also given an extra hundred to clean the river and roads.
Then Lan Hua and another woman, Xi Mei, were chosen by Uncle Zhao on the spot to take care of the Iron Thorns for the next month, watering and protecting them, with wages to be paid separately.
It was getting late, and after everyone else left, only Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le remained.
Zheng Le was very uneasy.
Where will she sleep tonight, her first night of marriage? Do they have to share a bed? Thinking of her mother's advice, her face burned. She kept telling herself it was all fake, all an illusion.
But Zheng Le's worries didn't come true that night. Zhang Guodong didn't force her; the two of them secretly returned to Green Treasure Pavilion and spent the night there.
Zheng Le, wearing her newly bought silk pajamas, lay on Zhang Guodong's bed, staring intently at the door. She was very nervous; what if Zhang Guodong wanted to sleep with her? Zhang Guodong slept on the sofa in the living room; he didn't enter the bedroom, much to her regret…
But thinking that Zheng Le might not be able to adapt, he gave her some time.
Zheng Le has no intention of giving up!
Now he knew he had to have this woman. Body and soul. He felt he would regret it if he let go of such a beautiful and kind woman. He was despicable, but he had to have her.
Time passed, and Zheng Le, tense and on guard, began to feel dizzy and tired. She actually fell asleep. Zhang Guodong couldn't sleep, but several times he walked to the bedroom door only to turn back.
I was tormented and couldn't sleep all night.
Over the next few days, Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le went to Jixing Village every day. Although it was a trip to the countryside, they were in good spirits and had developed a tacit understanding. Most of the time, Zheng Le didn't object to Zhang Guodong holding her hand; at most, she would roll her eyes a few times. Sometimes, when Zhang Guodong hugged her, she could only protest silently.
These were all sweet interludes.
After the road and bridge passed quality inspection, Zhang Guodong promptly paid all the outstanding payments. Even Ke Fang, upon hearing that Zhang Guodong intended to build a two-story house, took the business. The project cost 500,000 yuan, the designed area was considerable, the construction quality had to be excellent, and the decoration didn't need to be luxurious—not even extravagant, just simple and unpretentious. These were the conditions!
The two-story building has three rooms on the first floor and a suite on the second floor for the owner. Zhang Guodong plans to fence the yard and build a thatched gate, something like a thatched cottage, to give it a more rustic feel. He also plans to plant some special plants around the yard to keep snakes away.
Chicken coop, duck shed, dog kennel and other miscellaneous things.
These buildings weren't particularly complex; they were mostly completed in five days. A brand-new courtyard appeared in Snake Nest Valley, with a small wooden gate bearing the inscription: Peach Blossom Spring.
Zheng Le teased him many times about how tacky the name was. The brick and tile building was considered modern, yet it was combined with the style of a rural courtyard, making it a mismatched and incongruous design.
Zhang Guodong was quite embarrassed and annoyed by what was said. Indeed, he had also planned to build a tiled house or a wooden cabin, but this was Snake Nest Valley. Although the snakes weren't swarming, there was no guarantee that one day he wouldn't wake up to find a mischievous snake crawling into his bed. It would be better to build a cement brick house; that would be safer and he could sleep soundly.
As for the decoration, this problem can be solved by color matching, tile matching, and the construction process. For example, the roof can be designed with retro tiles instead of floor slabs.
Five days later, the building and renovation were completed. Zhang Guodong was quite satisfied. Zheng Le also felt that the renovation was indeed very important. Turning the rotten into the magical, and with the fence and yard, this small building looked much more comfortable and could blend into the rural atmosphere.
During these five days, Zhang Guodong witnessed firsthand what the Snake Nest Valley project was all about. Almost every day, several nests of snakes could be found, with the White Snake being the most numerous. But there were also two other types of venomous snakes, one of which even resembled a branding iron?
This shocked him.
This unassuming, sinkhole-like valley was truly a snake den, though it was unclear where the snake burrows led. He counted seven or eight different kinds of snakes. Among them were three venomous snakes, the most venomous of which was a suspected pit viper. They were the rarest, but most snakes dared not approach them.
Fortunately, with Zhang Guodong supervising, no one was bitten even after the snake nest was dug up. The snakes all headed towards the valley and disappeared into the grass.
A new day.
Taoyuanju was basically unused after construction; the renovation smell dissipated within two days, and everything was dry. It's ready to move in!
Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le carefully selected furniture, primarily solid wood, high-quality appliances, decorative bedding, and more. It took them half a day to set everything up. The second floor finally looked presentable.
"Guodong seems to be missing something?" Zheng Le said, frowning as he looked at the neatly arranged items in the living room.
Zhang Guodong wiped his sweat; building the new house was indeed quite busy. Zheng Le was basically directing, and he was doing the hard labor. Luckily, he was strong enough to do it all with ease, though mentally exhausting!
He plopped down on the still-unopened sofa and said, "What's missing? I think I bought everything, right?"
Zheng Le looked at Zhang Guodong and suddenly burst into a beautiful, radiant laugh. Zhang Guodong was stunned by her laughter. Then, inexplicably, black marks appeared all over his face.
"Is my face dirty?" Zhang Guodong realized and hurriedly went to look in the mirror.
really!
"Laughing at me, huh? I'll show you!" Zhang Guodong chuckled dryly and lunged at Zheng Le.
Zheng Le cried out and ran, but how could she outrun Zhang Guodong? Zhang Guodong scooped her up from behind and hugged her.
"Guodong, don't be so dirty!" Zheng Le hurriedly said, rubbing his hands.
He knew what Zhang Guodong was going to do. He felt sorry for her; her clothes were about to get dirty. He could see that when Zhang Guodong's arm brushed against her clothes, a black mark appeared.
As Zheng Le struggled, Zhang Guodong chuckled and leaned in, rubbing his face against her dodging cheek.
Zheng Le accidentally dodged and got into trouble. Zhang Guodong took her mouth and made muffled noises. After a moment of surprise, Zhang Guodong began to greedily suck on her red lips. Zheng Le was stunned. Then, she quickly lost her senses, blinked, and hurriedly closed her eyes.
She was so beautiful at that moment!
"Phew!" The kiss lasted quite a while. Unfortunately, it still didn't penetrate her pearly teeth. But savoring her red lips was still a significant improvement.
Zheng Le didn't want to get up from Zhang Guodong's arms. Suddenly, like a little rabbit, she struggled free. She looked at Zhang Guodong, embarrassed and annoyed, and saw that he was actually aroused. His hard penis was pressing against her, making her heart race!
"Hehe, now you won't run away, will you? If my face isn't clean, you'll look like a little cat with dirty eyes too!" Zhang Guodong chuckled.
Zheng Le hurriedly looked in the mirror and sure enough, his cheeks were smudged with black. He was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry! Then he looked at his clothes and saw black marks all over them.
"You've made it all dirty!" Zheng Le said, embarrassed and annoyed.
"Hey, let's spend the night here," Zhang Guodong said.
I really don't know what's going on in this guy's mind. Zheng Le rolled his eyes at him before saying, "There's no electricity at night, it'll be pitch black, you'll have to stay here by yourself!"
electricity?
"Hey," Zhang Guodong scratched his head. "That's right. Everything is ready—appliances, furniture, bedding, etc.—but we're missing electricity."
This has to be transported all the way from the village!
Fortunately, there should be enough time, and Zhang Guodong was somewhat impatient.
Defense: That's all for today. I played Tiandao all night last night and slept until 3 PM today, haha. Staying up all night was really no fun, too tiring. That's all for today's long chapter.
After reading this, everyone can get on with their own business.
