Chapter 39: Snake God (2) Defending Innocence
In order to maintain his innocence, Tan Yue focused his attention, his brain worked quickly, and he tried desperately to think of a way to crack the problem.
By the way, biting your tongue and breaking the tip of your tongue should be able to successfully wake you up from this sleep paralysis state.
Soon, Tan Yue bit the tip of his tongue with the little strength he had left, and the taste of blood dissipated, refreshing his confused mind.
The pervert who had crawled into his waistband seemed to be very sensitive to the smell of blood. The icy cold thing slowly "crawled" along the groove between his abdominal muscles, then crawled to the position of Tan Yue's chest muscles and brushed his sensitive Adam's apple.
A pair of scarlet, agate-like eyes met Tan Yue's.
It turned out not to be a sex ghost, but a small white snake with a snow-white body and a triangular head!
Tan Yue got goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't tell what species the white snake was, but those with triangular heads were generally highly poisonous.
Moreover, I have been in a sleep-paralyzed state for such a long time, and I can't move my whole body. It is very likely because my body is paralyzed by the snake's saliva!
He didn't feel any pain anywhere other than the tip of his tongue, but if a snake bite had this effect, its venom must be extremely strong.
The venomous snake sneaked in silently, and the people outside couldn't hear anything. In the paralyzed state, he couldn't struggle or call for help.
No one knew how poisonous this snake was. Perhaps he would die quietly in bed before others discovered the injected serum.
Tan Yue felt inexplicably regretful about his life. If he had known this would happen, he would never have participated in this project and come to such a place. If he had known that he was only 23 years old this year, and only a few thousand days of his 20,000 days had passed, he would never have died here!
The little white snake continued to swim upwards and then reached Tan Yue's lips.
Tan Yue's thin lips were tightly closed, and his eyes, which were slightly open, were also closed, for fear that the snake's venom would enter his wounds or his extremely fragile eyes.
The "hissing" sound was the white snake spitting out its tongue. It was obviously crawling over here following the smell of blood. Tan Yue closed his eyes, and his body's sense of touch was even more sensitive than before.
He could feel that cold thing resting on his chin, and its tail coiled around his Adam's apple.
It's too dangerous! With his adrenaline soaring and his heart beating wildly, Tan Yue planned to throw the dangerous snake away as quickly as possible once he had enough strength.
It's just a small and cute little snake. Generally speaking, snakes kill their prey by wrapping and strangling them, so large snakes are more dangerous to humans.
But the key is not knowing the species and toxicity of the snake. If you accidentally get bitten by a snake, the poison could cause death in a few seconds, so you must be extremely cautious!
The upper body of the little snake stopped at Tan Yue's lips. With his eyes closed, he could feel that the other party's head should be resting on his lips.
My body is trembling slightly. This is a conditioned reflex that is not controlled by the brain. It is a purely physiological reaction.
Something soft, wet and slightly cool brushed against her lips. It was a snake's tongue!
This little white snake turned out to be a perverted snake, licking his mouth lustfully. His first kiss was taken away by a snake!
Tan Yue became more and more nervous, his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably. With his eyes closed, he could clearly feel the snake's tail gently brushing against his Adam's apple.
The snake used its pointed head to pry open his lips, as if trying to get in.
If the snake entered his stomach from his mouth, he would definitely be bitten to death! He didn't want to eat a live snake, Tan Yue clenched his teeth and refused to speak.
There were strands of blood flowing out from the gaps between his teeth. Tan Yue's teeth were very neat, so the blood wasn't much. It was the result of his slightly open mouth that let the blood fall out.
After all, the damaged part was the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't lick himself with his tongue. He also couldn't rinse his mouth, so the little snake smelled the smell and crawled over.
The blood with the smell of rust was licked off by the little snake. Tan Yue could feel that something very thin and soft, which was obviously a snake's tongue judging by its narrowness, lightly sweeping across the gap between his teeth.
Obviously, the other party was just a snake that probably didn't know what a kiss was, but inexplicably, Tan Yue felt like he was being blasphemed.
Perhaps because they had heard too many stories about the Snake Goddess today, the villagers said: "The snakes on Snake Mountain are very spiritual and can understand human language."
After many snakes became protected animals, people in the village rarely catch and eat snakes. The snake wine that the old man served today is said to have a 20-year history, and it was made from snakes caught a long time ago.
However, at noon, only the bald director and cameraman accompanied the village chief of Baijia Village to drink snake wine, while Tan Yue did not drink a drop of alcohol.
Unless he had to attend a social event, he never drank at a party. He also took the exam to join a government agency in order to avoid social events that required drinking.
He was clearly not drunk, but he was now showing symptoms of drunkenness, with dizziness and weakness in his limbs. This was not drunkenness, this was simply poisoning.
The poisoned Tan Yue could only let the little snake lick his blood clean, and then lick his face again and again, and it was unknown how long it licked.
The village chief's voice, as loud and powerful as a gong, rang out outside: "Dinner is ready, everyone come out to eat!"
There was a knock on the door: "Teacher Tan, are you awake? Are you in there?"
It was intern Zhang Yunyun, who was always very positive and enthusiastic because she wanted to become a full-time employee.
Of course, her enthusiasm for Tan Yue was not just for work, but also because they were about the same age and Tan Yue was good-looking enough.
After someone spoke outside, the feeling of pressure on him was broken, and he sat up suddenly from the bed, reaching out to grab the thin white snake.
Tan Yue's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to be captured by the camera. It could even be said that it exceeded the current limits of human beings.
But the snake was even faster than he thought. The window was opened, and the little white snake, which didn't want to be caught, disappeared in an instant.
The cool breeze blew the curtains, and the wisps of wind dispersed the turbid air in the room and also woke up Tan Yue's mind.
He looked at the cracked window. Was it a dream? Was that beautiful little white snake just a dream?
"Teacher Tan?"
"Wait a minute, I'll be right out." He responded politely.
After checking every corner of the room, Tan Yue did not see the snake. The little white snake should have turned into a streak of white light like an arrow and flew out directly from the window.
Is this still a snake? Do normal snakes have this ability? It opened the door and the window, and flew out with incredible precision.
You have to know that snakes usually crawl, and of course they will jump up sometimes, but snakes' eyes are usually not very good. 9 out of 10 are blind, and one is half blind.
Many snakes are blind and deaf creatures, and most of the time they move through heat induction. This is why Tan Yue did not struggle frantically before, because movement would easily alarm the snake. If he remained motionless, the snake might treat you as a wooden stake and would not bite you.
There was no separate bathroom in Bai Zile's room, and of course no mirror.
Tan Yue walked out directly and headed towards the bathroom.
As soon as he opened the door, he came face to face with Zhang Yunyun.
"Teacher Tan?" Zhang Yunyun was a little surprised.
After all, as a colleague, when she saw Tan Yue, he was always dressed very neatly, meticulously and delicately, and had good taste in clothes.
After all, she is a TV host, and she cannot be dressed too badly when she appears on camera.
But this may also be because Tan Yue himself is good-looking enough. He looks good in anything he wears. Even when wearing a sack, he doesn't look like a beggar, but a model.
But now Tan Yue was wearing a very loose pajamas. In May, the pajamas he wore were dark green, probably made of cotton silk, very soft, and made him look a few years younger.
That’s right, it seems that this teacher Tan is only one year younger than her, so she is very young.
Teacher Tan seems different today than before. Her lips are particularly red, and maybe because she just woke up, she has a special beauty of laziness and relaxation. The corners of her eyes are a little red, and that red color is like blooming peach blossoms.
He is obviously not a feminine boy at all, but the feeling he gives to Zhang Yunyun is particularly in line with that word: a face like a hibiscus or peach blossom, with a bit of enchanting beauty.
Zhang Yunyun's ears turned a little red, but because Tan Yue just nodded expressionlessly and responded coldly, her hot ears cooled down again.
A guy who grows up to be a troublemaker like Tan Yue either already has a partner or has many partners. You can only admire him from afar but not touch him. Just admire his pretty face. As for dating, he is not suitable for ordinary girls.
You can chase stars, but you can’t pursue them.
Tan Yue didn't care about other people's mental activities at all. He really wanted to know what his current state was.
For this reason, he, who always paid great attention to his image when he was outside, did not even change out of his pajamas when he knew that there were outsiders and this was not his home.
He was just afraid that when he was changing clothes, there might be some tiny marks on it, which might be accidentally rubbed off.
Tan Yue walked quickly into the bathroom. It was almost seven o'clock. He turned on the light and saw a strange face in the mirror.
The face is still the same, but I feel like something is different. The corners of my eyes are slightly red, and my lips are shiny, as if I had applied a layer of lip balm.
His fingers gently rested on his Adam's apple. There was no sign of being bound or entangled in that place, but the feeling of being entangled still remained there.
After locking the bathroom door to prevent anyone from breaking in, Tan Yue took off his clothes and stood in front of the mirror to examine his body.
He checked carefully to make sure he didn't have any extra bite marks on his body.
At this moment, the feeling of dizziness, weakness in limbs and numbness all over the body has disappeared. My brain is clear, I can even say that I feel refreshed. I am in a particularly good state and have no problem doing 200 push-ups in a row.
The snake shouldn't be his illusion. After all, he slept for several hours and didn't drink a sip of water after waking up. His lips should be dry, not wet.
He gently swept the tip of his tongue inside his mouth, then opened his lips and turned on the flashlight function on his phone. There was a small cut on the tip of his tongue, and it was a little painful.
It wasn't a dream, there really was a strange little white snake. But he was a foreigner, with no grudges against him, so how could he be targeted by a snake?
Tan Yue looked at himself in the mirror expressionlessly for a while, and finally went out to change into new clothes.
He drove his own car and had quite a lot of luggage with him, including all kinds of things, including food, outdoor supplies, and clothes, and they were all good-looking and stylish clothes.
I don't know why, but when I go out, Tan Yue feels that he should bring a few more sets of clothes, especially when going to a remote mountain village where shopping is not very convenient, he should bring more clothes to ensure that he can change them for about a month.
This may be some mental illness, but he seldom goes to such places and it doesn't affect him normally. Tan Yue just follows his own inner thoughts and may prepare more clothes than the other girls.
The previous color-blocked jacket had already been put into the washing machine, so he changed into a pure white cotton and linen shirt, and added a waterproof black and white contrasting jacket, which was the same style as the previous one but in a different color.
After changing clothes, everyone else sat at the table.
“This dinner is so sumptuous.”
The dinner was still very sumptuous, but the seaweed egg drop soup was replaced with tomato egg soup, and the cold dish was changed from cold cucumber to cold bean curd.
The clerk in charge of finance felt embarrassed, and Gao Mei gave the old lady another 200 yuan in private: "This is our dinner money tonight, you must accept it."
Tan Yue didn't eat any more. He ate very full at noon and didn't have much appetite at night, so he ate about the same amount as the other two boys.
The leftovers were put away by the old man and his two friends. People in the countryside are frugal, so they can heat them up and continue eating them at noon tomorrow.
"What should we do tomorrow? Should we interview the villagers first, or go to Snake Mountain to have a look?"
After eating and resting, the director organized a small meeting for the program staff.
"I asked the old man, and he agreed to film it."
Tan Yue asked: "What is the name of this episode? Is it still about studying the resurrection of the Snake Goddess?"
Gao Mei said: "Our program team will shoot the content first and then decide on the name. There is no rush for this."
Tan Yue asked again: "How did you sleep this afternoon? Did you see any snakes in the room?"
His question startled the other people.
Zhang Yunyun's voice was a little shrill: "Teacher Tan, did you see a snake in the room?"
Cameraman Shao Meng was so scared that he rubbed his goose bumps and said, "No way, I was sleeping in the afternoon and didn't see the snake."
Wang Xiaotong adjusted his black-framed glasses and said, "This is the third floor. If a snake had crawled in, the village head and his wife would have noticed it. Besides, the doors and windows were all closed, so we didn't see any snakes."
Zhao Fei patted Tan Yue's shoulder and said, "Xiao Tan, you had a nightmare, didn't you? Were you scared by the snake wine at noon?"
"There's no possibility of that." It seems that no one has encountered a snake, and he is the only unlucky guy who has encountered that little white snake.
Tan Yue quickly changed the subject: "I'll follow you up the mountain."
In order to improve efficiency, the program team must act separately, and finally decided that Gao Mei, Tan Yue, and Shao Meng would go to the mountain.
Shao Meng carried the camera equipment to take pictures of the temple of the snake god.
Director Zhao Fei led the team, and Wang Xiaotong followed with a SLR camera. As a post-production worker, Wang Xiaotong's camera skills must have been very good. Zhang Yunyun followed behind as an assistant.
The main reason is that there are a lot of snakes on Snake Mountain, and the danger level is much higher than in the village.
"You two girls will follow me to interview the villagers in the village, record the relevant interview materials, and then meet up tomorrow night."
Maybe because we slept for a long time in the afternoon, no one could sleep well at night. Several girls were chatting, and some took out playing cards.
Tan Yue took out his laptop from his bag and started searching for relevant information about Baijia Village on the Internet.
Baijia Village is an almost unknown village with no presence on the Internet.
Search for Snake Village and related news will also show that a certain citizen was unfortunately bitten by a snake.
Tan Yue was a little disappointed. He opened the drawing software and began to draw with great concentration, drawing the white snake in his memory on the picture.
Draw it first, then search to see what kind of snake it is. If you can't find it, you can ask a knowledgeable biologist, such as his father.
It took Tan Yue two hours to draw the shape of a snake and then sent it to his father.
"What kind of snake is this?"
The latter did not respond. Tan Yue checked the time, confirmed that it was not class time, and called again.
"That's why you called. Wait a minute while I go check it out."
Father Tan checked the information carefully: "This snake's head is oval, but if you look closely it is round and triangular, it should be a cobra, pure white with red eyes, it should be an albino mutant. You only drew a part of it, if you can see its transparent abdomen under the sun, you can almost see its internal organs, it must be an albino, it is highly poisonous, you have to be careful."
Tan Yue also felt that the little snake was extremely poisonous, although it looked very cute and did not really hurt him.
He asked his father: "Do you think snakes can open the door? Pull down the handle to open the door and window. The window is made of aluminum alloy with diamond mesh..."
The latter said: "According to research, snakes are likely to open sliding doors, and they also tend to hold grudges. Some snakes are very vindictive. But according to what you said, this snake is very small, and its strength should not be enough to do this. You must be dreaming."
Tan's father said, "When a man dreams of snakes entangled him, it may be because of too much work pressure. You just joined the TV station. Is your first job too stressful? Relax. I checked and found that the work is difficult, but it is a good omen. Maybe your show will be a big hit."
He said, "I feel like our family's career luck has been pretty good recently."
There have been a lot of strange things happening in recent years, including in schools, crematoriums, etc. Tan's father also signed some confidentiality agreements, but he did not think that his son had encountered such a thing.
If you really encounter it, you must not be suspicious. It is better to deceive yourself and believe in science.
Is it really because of too much mental pressure that I have hallucinations?
Tan Yue frowned, looked at some dream interpretations, stared at the lifelike portrait of the white snake for a while, and finally hung up the phone.
In addition to the portraits, he was looking through the miscellaneous books on Bai Zile's bookshelf and found that Bai Zile had bought many books related to snakes.
I don’t know if the people in the program crew were bored, playing DVDs with two old people late at night.
The village chief said: "This movie is very good, and everyone in our village loves to watch it."
The discs playing were "Anaconda" and "A Sadomasochistic Love Between Humans and Snakes". The screen was full of snakes, which made the girls' scalps tingle. They found an excuse that they had to get up early the next day and quickly slipped back to their rooms.
It seems that the villagers of Baijia Village really love snakes. Tan Yue is not very interested in the film or snakes.
He didn't like these smooth reptiles, especially because their scales might often secrete mucus, which made him feel unclean and uncomfortable psychologically.
Although he grew up with small bones, Tan Yue has a very positive and open hobby when it comes to pets. He likes cute furry animals and does not like shady and damp reptiles.
The TV in the village chief's house was quite big, and the screen was just showing the scene where the heroine of the movie fell into a snake pit. The pit was full of colorful, black and gray snakes, twisting and entangled, looking very ugly.
He took another look at the portrait, and this little white snake was still the best looking. It looked harmless because it was small, and its head was round. It looked cute when it stuck out its tongue. The scales on its body were pure white, without any variegated colors, and it looked clean and holy.
It is probably the cutest little snake in the world, smart and clever, but very dangerous.
After all, it is not only cute, but also highly poisonous. One bite from it will kill him.
Tan Yue told the old man that there might be a snake in the room: "Can I change rooms?"
The village chief said in embarrassment: "There is no extra room at home."
Tan Yue did not embarrass the old man: "Can you lend me something? I will seal the gap."
This time the village chief agreed. He was very happy and there was nothing unusual throughout the process.
In the afternoon, the room had its screen windows open for ventilation. At night, when he went to bed, Tan Yue closed the glass windows and turned off the switches so that even a clever snake could not get in.
Not only that, he also locked the door. There was a gap under the door, and considering that snakes are soft-bodied animals, Tan Yue blocked the gap. He asked the old man in the village for some iron mesh, nailed it, and pressed it down with heavy objects, blocking the thumb-thick gap to prevent the small snake from getting in.
Although the little snake is cute, his life is more important, and he should be able to sleep well tonight.
After uploading the portrait he had drawn to the cloud album and saving it, Tan Yue checked his luggage, prepared the clothes he would wear tomorrow, and fell asleep quickly.
He seemed to be dreaming again. In his dream, he could see the snake crawling outside the house. The little white snake was bathing in the moonlight, and its whole body seemed to be shining.
The little white snake skillfully climbed up the stairs to the third floor and swaggered out of the front door. Two old people were watching TV and did not notice the little white snake at all.
It stopped at the door and noticed the extra gap.
The pair of red eyes showed some doubt, and then some dissatisfaction. With a flick of its tail, the barbed wire that had been nailed with great effort fell down smoothly.
The snake crawled into the room, and Tan Yue, who was aware of it, used all his strength to break free from the nightmare, climbed out of the bed, and hid himself in Bai Zile's closet.
