Chapter 50: Snake God (End) Wedding
"It's time to pick up the groom."
This was not Tan Yue's first time attending a wedding, but it was his first time to be the host of a wedding.
A professional TV camera crew was filming nearby, and everyone changed into festive new clothes.
Tan Yue's car, the broken van of the program team, and even the village chief's car formed a long convoy, and the front of all the cars were decorated with big red flowers.
The flowers were picked from the mountains. Many people had bouquets of flowers in their cars made of colorful snakes. They looked beautiful and unique at first glance, but were particularly creepy upon closer inspection.
Tan Yue's bright red groom's suit actually had a lot of snake skin cut into it. When Tan Yue got the suit, a strong black smell was coming out of the bright red wedding suit.
But when Tan Yue shook, Guan Shan saw that all the black energy had dissipated. He had originally intended to help his lover to calm down the black energy, but seeing this, he held Tan Yue's hand which was on his clothes.
The latter wiped Tan Yue's hand gently and carefully: "You touched something dirty, let me wipe it for you."
Tan Yue said nothing, but just smiled and looked at his lover. There was a tender affection between them and a natural warmth flowing.
The wedding went smoothly, but the villagers of Baijia Village stopped dressing up. Each of them had a human head, but the body was a snake from the neck down. Snakes don't have legs, so everyone wore white robes with a red flower pinned on their chest.
A group of human snakes twisted and turned as the team moved forward, which was creepy to watch.
They looked angrily at the groom who remained calm: Scare this guy to death! Why can't you scare him to death!
The road in the village is very short, and the car soon stopped at the foot of the mountain. Then the groom had to go up the mountain road to the Snake Mountain Goddess Temple to complete the ceremony.
"When the wedding is over, it's time for the guests to go home."
Before leaving, Tan Yue hinted to everyone: "Those who want to go home should go back quickly, otherwise if you stay in the village, you may not have the chance to go back next time."
When Tan Yue was carried up, no one noticed that there was a white bracelet on his wrist. It was a snake-shaped bracelet that looked as clear as white jade.
The little snake was very well-behaved. When no one was noticing, it would move its tongue and lick Tan Yue's wrist.
"Please ask the Snake Goddess to show her spirit"
The whole ceremony seemed a bit eerie because of the villagers' horrific appearances, but Tan Yue looked quite happy. His smile was very contagious, and his cheerfulness diluted the eerie atmosphere.
Especially today, as he was going up the mountain as the groom, he sat on the snake-powered sedan chair and did not need to walk on his own two legs. He could just let the snakes carry him up.
Tan Yue didn't have to worry about anything happening to him. After all, Guan Shan was with him. If anything really happened, he could just jump off the sedan.
"Mrs. Snake Goddess, your groom has arrived."
In the past, when the Snake God got married, the groom would be tied up, but Tan Yue was not tied up at all and he was very cooperative.
In the past, when the villagers worshipped the snake god, most of the time there was actually no response.
But this time it was different. After the villagers burned incense and prayed, the white jade snake god statue actually came to life and turned into an extremely huge white snake.
In other words, Tan Yue had good eyesight and saw the little white snake coiled on his wrist pounce on the snake god statue within a second, and then throw the snake god statue behind the table. It suddenly became a thousand times bigger, pretending to be the snake god, and coiled around him.
In full view of the public, Bai She and Tan Yue completed a lively wedding ceremony.
The music was played by the village's suona, gong and drum band, and the wedding also had a professional host and cameraman. Except for the lack of the process of paying respects to the parents, everything else was complete.
"The wedding is over just like that?" Everyone in the program crew was very nervous today, and they couldn't believe that things would be so simple and perfect.
The wedding ended successfully. The Snake Goddess seemed very satisfied with the groom, and the horrific bloodshed that the villagers had expected did not occur.
But thinking of the conflicts that had occurred during this period, the monsters all surrounded her: Since the Snake Goddess was unwilling to stand up for them, they stood up themselves!
Just when the villagers of Baijia Village decided to take action themselves, the statue of the Snake Goddess lying behind the table suddenly moved. Two lasers came out of its eyes, which then crossed to form a bright channel, pointing in the direction outside the village.
The villagers also reacted: "Blasphemy, these guys actually dared to blaspheme the Snake God!"
"run!"
Tan Yue suddenly spoke, and the others subconsciously ran down the mountain, but there were too many villagers coming up, blocking their way. You know, there is a long distance up and down the mountain, even if they run all the way down, it will take at least an hour.
Guan Shan randomly selected a small black snake in the grass, and the small black snake instantly turned into a giant python.
The giant python wrapped its tail around several people and swung it so hard that it threw them directly from the temple on the mountain to the foot of the mountain. The snake cable car would reach the destination in seconds.
Guanshan had also grown a lot bigger. He didn't want to care about that group of people and gently rolled Tan Yue down the mountain.
After the big python threw the program team down, it turned into a small black snake as thick as a thumb. The program team stood there for a while, confused and bewildered, and soon realized: There is an exit on the other side of the mountain! The two lights were the exits that the Snake Goddess had pointed out to everyone.
Tan Yue, who came a step behind them, pointed to the exit in the distance and said, "That is the passage out of the village. It won't be open for long. Just go forward. I'll fill up your gas tank."
Tan Yue patted Zhao Fei's shoulder vigorously: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get in the car."
The latter reacted and rushed to the van parked at the foot of the mountain.
There are many snakes guarding these vans. The villagers in the mountains have not come down yet, but these snakes are also driven by the villagers. They are ferocious and extremely aggressive.
Moreover, they seemed to have no instinctive fear of living things. Even when their companions were knocked unconscious, they were still busy rushing forward.
Tan Yue was wearing a groom's suit and filming snakes for the program crew, and his two hands were almost leaving afterimages.
The bricks in his hands flew up into the air, leaving space for the group of people to escape.
This time he had no scruples and slapped the snakes very hard, one after another, to prevent the snake in front of him from falling and waking up from behind to bite him.
Cameraman Shao Meng carried his camera and continued to shoot even at the moment of life and death crisis. This is the professional quality of a cameraman.
"Teacher Tan, get in the car!"
Tan Yue waved his hand: "You go first, I'll cover you."
The villagers on the mountain reacted very quickly. Even though they could only move with their tails, their speed was much faster than that of humans running. They were not worried about falling on the snake mountain, and they rolled down in a straight line very quickly.
It takes humans a long time to climb stairs, but it only takes a few minutes to roll down a mountain that is only a few hundred meters high.
All the people from the program team crowded into the broken van, drove at full speed, and rushed towards the exit.
There were many strange things blocking the way, and there were also snakes as obstacles, but no one cared about them. They wanted to go home, and they would knock the snakes away.
When they rushed to the passage, the snakes that were swarming in like a tide gave way and left. They looked very unwilling, but they were unable to stop these delicious foods from escaping safely.
The people in the program team did not lose their memory. They rushed out of the area where Baijia Village was located. Looking back, they found that the area where Baijia Village was originally located had become a vacant lot. The fields were barren, the pond was dry, and there was no trace of houses made of reinforced concrete, even wooden or thatched houses. They could not see the entrance to the village at all.
"Teacher Tan is still in there? Will he be unable to come out?"
"Teacher Tan sacrificed himself for us. How pitiful! Woo woo woo woo ..."
Thinking of those horrible things, everyone in the program crew burst into tears.
The car was still moving slowly forward, and Gao Mei, the driver, was upset by everyone's crying.
"Drive faster and don't block the road."
Ten minutes later, a horn suddenly sounded from behind them, and a familiar off-road vehicle appeared behind the shabby bus.
Through the glass, a familiar face could be seen sitting in the driver's seat. It was none other than Tan Yue, who was thought to have died in the village.
"Teacher Tan!" Zhang Yunyun shouted happily, "Teacher Tan, is that you?"
Tan Yue said: "This is a one-way passage. Who else could it be if not me? The villagers in the village can't get out."
He only now realized that if all the outsiders in the previous wave died, then the passage opened this time would be the passage from the surface world to the inner world, and there would be new victims entering Baijia Village.
But this group of people are still alive, so what is opened is a one-way channel from the inner world to the outer world.
He seemed to be ten minutes late, but in fact he was a month late. After all, he had just gotten married and had promised to accompany Guan Shan on his honeymoon, so he would not go back on his word.
To be honest, when he came out, he didn't expect to see people from the program team again. It was only when he looked at his phone that he understood everything.
Tan Yue honked the horn: "There's nothing to sell in this remote area. Let's take a break. It's time for everyone to go back. If you need to talk to your family, please tell them."
Everyone seemed to realize at this moment: "Yes, my family must be worried sick about me after not being able to contact me for such a long time! I must hurry to let them know that I am safe."
"We have been trapped in there for more than a month. I have been missing for more than a month. I don't know if I will be on the social news."
A group of people took out their mobile phones to contact the outside world, and were surprised to find that the time on their phones was twenty-eight days ago, which was the day they planned to leave Baijia Village.
"Are these just some dreams that a group of us have?"
Tan Yue reminded them: "See if the camera equipment has captured anything."
Shao Meng began to replay the content, and his pupils shrank when he saw the content.
"We are not dreaming, everything we are experiencing is real!"
In fact, if you look at the scratches and the dirt on their bodies, you will know that the past few days were not illusions, but real things that happened.
The cars drove towards the national highway leading to the imperial capital. Life in the human world seemed very normal, no different from before, but the people in the two cars knew that something had quietly changed.
As the wedding ended, Tan Yue's memories of Guan Shan gradually faded, but more fragments of memory remained in his mind.
He had a white silver snake bracelet on his hand and a snake ring on his ring finger.
When the program crew arrived in the imperial capital, their time was adjusted by the TV station. It was not a prime-time program in the first place, and now it was moved to a late-night program that no one watched.
That precious videotape was originally sealed up by Shao Meng, and the program they broadcast was the remaining footage that had been scrapped before.
However, after the new host Tan Yue joined, the program played that night was not the previous material, but "Towards Science - Baijia Village"
