Chapter 001: Mountain Village Evil Snake-1
Jiang Yan was bitten by a snake.
It all started when he and his friends from the same village were fishing in a creek. However, before they even saw any fish, they were bitten by a dark green snake.
The color of the snake was too similar to the weeds in the stream, and Jiang Yan, who was concentrating on catching fish, was caught off guard. He only reacted after the stream water soaked his wound and stung his nerves.
He didn't know how long the snake had been biting him. When he frowned and looked at his red forearm, the snake was still stuck there like a piece of chewing gum.
The snake was satisfied after sucking the blood, but he, who had always been a delicate person, was almost dying of pain.
Jiang Yan's screams and cries of pain attracted the attention of others, but no one dared to drive it away. After all, no one knew whether it was a poisonous snake.
Jiang Yan was in so much pain that his entire body was numb, and it was a relief that he was still able to stand. Naturally, he had no extra strength.
Finally, it was a handsome young man named Mengtang who grabbed the snake's throat with his bare hands like a dragon slayer and smashed it hard onto a rock by the stream. Blood instantly bloomed on the rock like a flower.
Once the snake's mouth loosened, Jiang Yan was able to escape.
"Jiang Yan, are you okay?"
After seeing that there was no danger, the young men who were traveling with him finally had the courage to step forward and ask.
Jiang Yan's face was pale and he staggered a little, but fortunately Meng Tang supported him in time. When the young men saw him like this, they all shouted, "Is it a poisonous snake? We have to go find old man Xu to check it out."
Old Man Xu is a doctor in their village. He has been practicing medicine for most of his life. His wife died early, and his two children also passed away for various reasons. Fortunately, he still has a grandson who is studying at a university in the city, and is said to be studying medicine.
In a few days it will be Old Man Xu’s 70th birthday, and his grandson should be back soon.
Worried looks appeared on the faces of several young men. Jiang Yan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but found that he was so weak at the moment that he could not utter a single syllable.
A low, hoarse, pleasant voice came from my ear: "I am a medical student."
"Doctor?" He simply simplified the situation and got to the point.
The young men looked at each other. Not to mention that they had never seen the man in front of them before, and secondly, except for Old Man Xu who was nostalgic, all the other doctors in their village who had learned some medicine had already gone to the big cities to make a living.
Wait, the young men seemed to remember something, and they all turned their eyes to the handsome boy next to Jiang Yan. Before they could ask, the handsome boy smiled and said, "Xu Fusheng is my grandfather, and I am Meng Tang."
"Meng, Meng——"
A young man in a straw hat stammered.
Meng Tang said again: "I took my mother's last name, and I came back this summer to celebrate Grandpa's birthday."
"oh oh."
The conversation between the few people sounded like a group of mosquitoes buzzing in Jiang Yan's ears. He didn't care who was next to him because he couldn't hold on any longer. He simply tilted his head and fell on the man like a drunk cat, breathing unsteadily: "I... I feel dizzy."
"Ah! Ginger salt is no good."
Someone exclaimed.
"Brother Meng, please save him."
Someone else shouted, and it seemed that he had a very good relationship with Jiang Yan. He cared about him very much and called him "Brother" regardless of his age.
Meng Tang lowered his head, and the strands of hair on his forehead fell down. He looked at the fragile and beautiful young man in his arms, and pursed his lips slightly.
Three seconds passed, and a pleasant voice sounded along with the sound of the stream flowing again: "Okay, I'll take care of him."
"Ah?" Several people were a little slow to react before they realized what had happened. One of them quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Meng!"
A few hours later, the setting sun's rays fell all over the stream, as if it were wearing a golden dress. Fish swam in the golden water, their scales almost blending into the sunlight.
But the next second, the fish fled in panic.
I saw a green snake swimming into the water. The bright red marks attached to the snake's scales were quickly soaked away by the water. The scales became clean, but the water around it turned from clear to blood red.
"thump--"
Not long after the snake was washed with water, it was immediately caught by a large hand. It twisted its body and struggled in mid-air. After a lot of hard work, it was suddenly met with a pair of dark green eyes that looked neither human nor inhuman.
It’s the king!
“This time—” the man who caught it said slowly, “you did a good job.”
The snake thought he was dead this time, but unexpectedly he heard words of praise from the other party.
Suddenly, it became excited, raised its drooping head, and its glowing eyes seemed to be asking for credit.
Its king praised him!
It seems that there is nothing special about that human being. He was really scared when Wang smashed him against the rock at the beginning.
I almost thought I had touched the king's reverse scale.
Now it seems that is not the case.
The snake thought smugly.
"But..." Its king seemed to have something else to say. It stretched itself and listened carefully, but unexpectedly heard a sigh from the king with a hint of sadness.
Who made his king unhappy?
The young man who was bitten by him before?
You deserve it!
The little snake stuck out its tongue and wanted to say: Wang, don't be angry, I will teach that guy a lesson for you.
But then, I don’t know whether its king misunderstood its meaning or it was wrong from the beginning.
In just one second, it was crushed by Wang's bare hands.
The broken body fell from the air like broken tiles, fell into the stream like a corpse and was washed away by the stream.
Meng Tang looked at the blood flowing at his feet. His dark eyes soon brightened up. He seemed very satisfied with his work. He curled his lips and murmured to himself in a cheerful tone: "What a pity, you hurt him."
"It's a good thing that the prey comes back, but it's not good if it comes back with missing limbs."
“…”
The snake, with only its head left, had a pair of dead white eyes, an expression full of confusion and a struggle before death. Unfortunately, everything was in vain, and in the end it was thrown into the stream like a piece of garbage.
When it saw the broken pieces of its body, it realized that it was really dead this time.
On the other side, Jiang Yan woke up drowsily from the bed.
The room was dimly lit, and a little wind occasionally came in through the half-open window, bringing a bit of heat and making Jiang Yan's exposed skin feel sticky.
……Um.
Um?
Jiang Yan realized something and pulled away the thin blanket on his body. His eyes widened instantly with confusion, shock and fear.
Where are his clothes?
Unlike the wheat-colored skin of other people in the village, Jiang Yan, who has lived in the village for a long time, is white all over, and does not look like a villager at all. Because of this, he is often teased by other people in the village, saying that the beautiful jade from the city has ended up in the village.
To put it bluntly, he seemed very delicate and had no energy to do any work.
In response to this, Jiang Yan often refuted and tried to break stones with his bare hands to prove himself. In the end, he got what he deserved and got a bump on himself, which took a whole month to go away.
Fortunately, his parents are village officials and they can afford to pamper and support him.
Apart from the time when he shot himself in the foot, this was the biggest injury he had ever suffered.
Putting aside the pain and regret that Jiang Yan felt after being bitten by a suspected poisonous snake, at this moment he was stripped of his clothes by someone unknown, which made him both angry and ashamed.
Jiang Yan glanced out from the half-open window and realized that it was already dark. He had been sleeping for so long without any protection.
The bed creaked.
Jiang Yan was frightened and looked down at the ground, only to find it was a mouse.
Hiss, where on earth is this place?
Jiang Yan rubbed his brows and when he looked down he found that his arm was wrapped in a bandage with a beautiful bow on it, as if it had been tied by a child with a childlike heart.
Was there someone who saved him?
Jiang Yan frowned. If the owner of this house rescued him, he would definitely be grateful. However, even if he was rescued, his injured part was his arm, so he could understand taking off his clothes.
But why take off your pants too?
Even his underpants were missing.
God knows the pair of pants he wore this time were his favorite.
Jiang Yan felt a little distressed. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for himself or for the missing pants.
After thinking for a long time on the bed, Jiang Yan decided not to sit there and wait for death anymore. He planned to leave the cabin first, wearing a thin blanket. After all, the danger level here was still unknown.
The noisy sound of cicadas crawled into the house along the branches outside the house. In the dim room where only a trace of moonlight could seep in, Jiang Yan, wrapped in a thin blanket, stretched out one foot and stepped on the ground. At this moment, the wooden door that had been tightly closed a few meters away creaked open.
More moonlight poured in as the gap in the door widened. At the same time, the outline of a person breaking into the house became clearer and clearer.
Jiang Yan was so nervous that he called out before the man came close, "Who are you?"
The man stopped but did not answer.
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, his expression alert.
The man began to walk again. The dark and silent little house was filled with the chirping of cicadas, the sound of wind, and the increasingly clear sounds of footsteps.
Jiang Yan started to panic as he couldn't get a reply. After all, having grown up in a protected environment, this was the first time he was forced to face a difficult situation.
"Don't come over here!"
It roared like a wolf cub, but unfortunately it was just a suckling cub and posed no threat at all.
Because Meng Tang had just crushed a snake to death, there was still some blood on his body, which was not dissipated yet. Jiang Yan, who was naturally sensitive, smelled it. His pupils suddenly dilated, which was a sign of approaching danger.
Jiang Yan suddenly moved towards the bed, trying to increase the distance between the two of them, but unfortunately the area he was in was limited and he soon hit a hard wall.
He tilted his head slightly and caught a glimpse of a window behind his head. It was the half-open window and the only window in the room.
The idea of running away emerged in Jiang Yan's mind. He secretly glanced out the window a few times, but it was too dark outside. Apart from the vague shadow of the moon in the distance, he couldn't even see the ground behind the window.
Jiang Yan thought about how there was no sound of stairs outside when the man walked in just now, so he guessed that this should be the first floor.
So, jump out of the window?
Jiang Yan thought about the feasibility of the method, but soon he thought of a very serious problem.
He is naked now, it is impossible for him to run out like this naked, right?
This is just crazy.
So take the thin blanket along?
But this is too cumbersome!
Complex and tangled thoughts exploded in Jiang Yan's mind. His eyes were a little red, and his lips were bitten too hard, leaving a mark, also red, which looked like lipstick and was a little bright.
In fact, he was so anxious that he almost cried.
“Chichi.”
A mouse reappears at an inopportune moment.
The person walking towards Jiang Yan seemed to stop because of the appearance of the mouse. At this time, the two were still about one meter apart.
If you run away when the man's attention is attracted by the mouse, you might still be in time.
Jiang Yan calmed his pounding heart and finally decided to carry out the escape plan.
The wind outside the window was getting louder.
The time is now!
Jiang Yan took a deep breath, then threw back the quilt, stood up decisively and faced the window.
Just as he pushed open all the windows and was about to jump down.
The rat noise in the house disappeared.
