Chapter 002: Mountain Village Evil Snake-2
The moment the mouse sound disappeared, a scream rang out simultaneously.
Before Jiang Yan stepped out of the window, an arm wrapped around his waist. Although it was summer, the man's hand was terribly cold, and it felt like a layer of ice on his warm skin.
In addition, the opponent's strength was extraordinary. Before Jiang Yan finished fighting, he was caught back to the bed by the man behind him, as easy as catching a hamster that had run away.
Jiang Yan suddenly fell down on the thin blanket that he had lifted up earlier. When he leaned backwards, his back seemed to stick to something, like clothes. He felt a few buttons and it hurt his back a little.
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then, out of his instinctive sense of danger, he subconsciously tried to break free. Unexpectedly, the man behind him grabbed his wrist again and restrained him in his arms.
"Shh, don't run, I have something to tell you." The man behind him said very patiently, but Jiang Yan did not trust a stranger, he still struggled violently, and this violent reaction seemed to cause the man's dissatisfaction.
Suddenly, a pair of hands were placed on Jiang Yan's waist. When he was stunned, his waist was pinched as a punishment. After that, the hands were used to rub his skin through a layer of cloth.
Jiang Yan lost consciousness and his brain had a temporary short circuit because this action was extremely ambiguous, as if they were a close couple.
Seeing that the person in his arms had finally behaved, the man was finally satisfied and was willing to explain this ridiculous thing: "You are not wearing anything. You will catch a cold if you run out naked like this."
Jiang Yan knew about this, but when he heard it from someone else, his ears turned even redder. However, the culprit for all this should be the person behind him.
But that person still spoke so calmly and reasonably.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yan said after calming himself down.
However, the other party became cunning, as if deliberately trying to irritate him, and said with a smile at the end of his voice: "Guess?"
Jiang Yan's emotions, which had just stabilized, collapsed again in an instant.
Looking at Jiang Yan's expression at the moment, Meng Tang curled the corners of his mouth. He seemed to like the other person's expression very much. He looked fierce and aggrieved, just like a little animal that fell into a trap, wanted to escape but couldn't, and finally could only rage helplessly in the trap. It was so cute.
“Shut up!”
Ah, I'm angry.
Meng Tang held the wrist of the handsome young man in his arms with one hand and supported his waist with the other hand. Their posture was ambiguous, almost skin-to-skin. From a third-party perspective, they really looked like a pair of lovers, a pair of young lovers playing in love.
"You are breaking the law!"
Jiang Yan shouted hoarsely, and there was something shiny in the corners of his eyes, as if there were tears.
Are you crying?
At this time, Meng Tang gave up. The little animal couldn't stand being provoked anymore, so he sighed, then let go of him and stopped teasing him, saying, "I obviously saved you, how is that against the law?"
Jiang Yan, who regained his freedom, immediately pulled the quilt beside him and wrapped himself in it. He turned his head sharply and quickly locked his eyes with the person who had just "bullied" him.
The dim light from the roof reflected on the handsome face of the man in front of me, outlining his perfect facial contours and sharp jawline. The black shirt was unbuttoned to the third button, showing the bony muscle lines inside.
He's pretty good-looking, so...are all the bad guys nowadays so introverted?
Seeing that he had been staring at him, Meng Tang acted very relaxed and smiled, "I don't look like a bad guy, do I?"
"..." Jiang Yan didn't know where the other party got his confidence from. Although what he said was true, he remained indifferent. "You are too narcissistic."
Meng Tang was not annoyed after hearing this. Just when he was about to say something else, the other party picked up a pillow beside him and threw it at him with great force, and it was a bit painful when it hit him.
After hitting someone, Jiang Yan said coldly: "Give me back my clothes."
Meng Tang was startled, then put on an innocent expression, blinking his dark eyes, "Brother, why are you so fierce? It was you who took the initiative to fall into my arms at noon this year."
The other party's words instantly evoked Jiang Yan's vague memory, and he seemed to know who this person was.
"You are the one--" Jiang Yan paused. He had some impression, but didn't remember it completely.
"My name is Mengtang, I'm Xu Fusheng's grandson, and today I'm back home for the first time." Mengtang was very patient and repeated his prepared self-introduction, "I'm 18 days away from turning 21, and I've never been in a relationship, so I'm single now."
Ginger salt:?
What does it have to do with me that you're single?
"What about Grandpa Xu?"
Jiang Yan's family has a very good relationship with Xu Fusheng. Since Grandpa Xu is alone, Jiang Yan often chats with Grandpa Xu. As time goes by, the relationship between the two is like that of a real grandfather and grandson.
"And this isn't your home, is it?"
Jiang Yan was skeptical about Meng Tang's words. After all, Grandpa Xu was so kind, but his grandson looked very suspicious.
"Oh, I got lost, so I just found a random place to put you down." Meng Tang said frankly, "I was afraid that you would die of the poison by the time I found my home."
Ginger Salt was a bit of a shock.
Meng Tang continued, "Fortunately, I studied hard and learned something. I have almost cured the snake venom in your body."
...almost.
"Forget it, I'll tell you anyway."
Meng Tang said: "There is still a little bit of snake venom, but if you do as I ask, there won't be any major sequelae."
"What's the request?" Jiang Yan asked.
Meng Tang said: "The snake venom you were infected with is quite special. You will have a high fever every seven days in the middle of the night, but this high fever is different from other high fevers. Taking medicine cannot cure it."
"Then what should I do?" Before he knew it, Jiang Yan was led away by him.
Meng Tang paused and said, "When this symptom occurs, sleeping with a person with an extremely cold constitution will suppress the onset of your symptoms."
Jiang Yan nodded and murmured, "Oh."
But a few minutes later, he suddenly came to his senses, "Are you sure you're not kidding me? Where does this feudal superstition come from?"
"Ah ha?" Meng Tang couldn't help but laugh when he heard him package his serious treatment methods with feudal superstition. "Don't believe me? Then take me home tomorrow and we'll go to my grandfather to ask for an explanation."
"Let's go!"
"Wait—" Jiang Yan was stunned when he heard the other party say "tomorrow", and asked stupidly, "Why tomorrow?"
Can't leave today?
Meng Tang looked at him with an ambiguous expression, "You go out so late at night, aren't you afraid of being bitten by a snake again?"
After a pause, he added, "Anyway, when I came back just now, I saw a lot of snakes outside."
Jiang Yan didn't know what time it was, but when he looked out through the window he had opened, the night was as black as ink, and it must be midnight.
My parents did tell me not to go out late at night.
Especially when you go to the back mountain, there are countless snakes hiding there, and most of them are poisonous. But that's not the point. It is said that there is a snake king in the back mountain, and anyone who is targeted by it will be a bad omen.
Of course, Jiang Yan didn't believe these. The main reason why he didn't go to the back mountain was that he was afraid of snakes.
"All right."
Jiang Yan compromised and decided to stay here for one night.
"But where is this place?"
To be on the safe side, he still asked.
Meng Tang propped up his chin and said, "I don't know, but I think I took you the wrong way. I climbed over a mountain and didn't see anyone along the way. I only saw an empty little house."
"..." Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, "What did you say before?"
Meng Tang: "I seem to have taken the wrong road."
Jiang Yan: "That's not the sentence."
Meng Tang: "When I came back just now, I saw a lot of snakes outside."
Jiang Yan: “…” It seemed as if he knew where he was.
But the moment he knew it, he regretted why he said so much.
"You're a little lost." Jiang Yan was a little depressed.
Meng Tang spread his hands: "After all, I am a clear and stupid college student."
Jiang Yan: “…” Are you bullying him because he didn’t go to college?
Tsk, little brat.
He is twenty-four years old this year, but his aura is weaker than those who are many years younger than him. It's really infuriating.
"Tomorrow you just follow me and don't make any trouble!"
Jiang Yan glared at him fiercely.
In fact, today was his first time to come to the back mountain, and he might not be as familiar with the road as Mengtang, who had been there once. But he didn't want to be suppressed by the man in front of him all the time, so he had to show some of his own strength.
Meng Tang was also very obedient and said, "Okay, then brother, you must protect me. I am very afraid of snakes."
Jiang Yan wanted to ask, "Who was the person who helped him catch the snake with his bare hands before?", but he didn't say it out loud because he was disgusted by the other person's repeated calls of "brother" and "brother".
What a weirdo.
If it weren't for the fact that this person had saved him, he wouldn't have the patience to say such words.
"So why did you take off my clothes?" After a long time, Jiang Yan finally asked the most important question.
Meng Tang blinked, "Didn't I tell you? You will have a high fever. Tonight will be your first time, but if you survive this time, you will have six days of rest."
Once a week, keep it in moderation.
The other party spoke sincerely, which made Jiang Yan wonder if it was really because he was too sensitive?
After all, for two grown men, it doesn't seem too excessive to see each other naked.
Moreover, when he was a child, he went to the river to bathe with many people from the same village.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yan stretched one hand out from under the quilt and touched his head, "But I feel fine now."
"That's because I already applied ice to you before I left." Meng Tang's eyes lit up for a moment and then dimmed. He then said in a helpless tone, "But the time is very short, the effect of the medicine won't last long. You still have to hold me to sleep in the second half of the night."
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, and it was obvious that he was starting to feel conflicted again.
"Of course I won't force you." Meng Tang said gently, completely different from the forceful way he hugged someone just now.
Jiang Yan was hesitating when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the window. It seemed to be the noise made by some living creature, which blocked his hesitant heart.
What's that sound?
It can’t be a snake.
Jiang Yan still cherished his life very much, and finally he moved a place for Meng Tang to sleep. He patted the bed and said awkwardly: "I feel good now, so I don't need to hug you, and you don't get too close."
At the end, he added hastily, "The main reason I asked you to sleep next to me is because there are snakes. One more person means more safety. Don't get bitten. You still have to go with me to find Grandpa Xu tomorrow!"
"Yeah, I will protect myself." Meng Tang gave a huge smile and said silently in his heart: I will also protect my brother.
Of course, this protection does not include a little bit of "bullying".
There was no light in the room, only some moonlight provided Jiang Yan with vision. Because Meng Tang was very close to him, he could see him.
But Jiang Yan couldn't see clearly the scene behind Meng Tang.
"Brother, you go to sleep first." Meng Tang said.
Jiang Yan looked at him strangely: "You don't want to sleep?"
Meng Tang said: "I am too dirty, I will go take a shower first and then come back to sleep with my brother."
Jiang Yan was disgusted by Meng Tang's words "sleep with your brother", so she buried her head in the quilt and stopped talking to him.
When Meng Tang saw him sleeping with his back to him, the corners of his mouth, which were originally raised, slowly lowered and finally turned into a straight line.
When the moonlight shone on his face again, the bright smile disappeared.
Meng Tang turned around and looked at the dead mouse in the corner not far away with his extraordinary eyesight.
There was no trace of blood, he died very peacefully.
Suddenly, a snake came in from the gap of the door that was not closed tightly, but it slid directly towards the dead mouse, rolled up the mouse's body without hesitation, and then returned the same way.
Everything happened silently.
The only sound that Jiang Yan in the quilt could hear was the sound of water coming from the bathroom before going to bed, a rhythmic and somewhat hypnotic sound.
Ginger salt makes you fall asleep quickly.
Then the sound of water disappeared.
Instead, there was a huge, dark green snake that nimbly crawled along the moonlight that covered the floor.
It skillfully crawled into the quilt of the handsome young man on the bed, just like a husband crawling into the bed of his newlywed wife. The process was extremely natural and smooth.
