Chapter 007: Mountain Village Evil Snake-7
When Meng Tang turned back into a human and returned to the room, he found Jiang Yan wrapped in a quilt, huddled in a corner with a look of doubt on his face.
"What's wrong, daughter-in-law...brother."
Meng Tang walked over quickly and hugged the injured handsome young man like a child. He patted his back and said in a gentle voice, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Jiang Yan grabbed Meng Tang's arm as if it were a life-saving straw and raised his red eyes, which seemed to have some tears in them, which was really pitiful.
“Just now, just now—” the young man sobbed, raised a trembling finger and pointed at the bed not far away, and then finished his unfinished words, “Snakes surrounded me.”
At this time, the culprit Meng Tang still dared to put on an angry look, "These snakes are really hateful, but they didn't hurt you, did they?"
Jiang Yan shook his head.
Meng Tang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"So, brother, you have to stay by my side in the future." Meng Tang took advantage of the situation and coaxed him, "Only I can protect you."
Jiang Yan must have been really frightened, as he nodded obediently.
Meng Tang raised the corner of his mouth and pulled up the young man curled up on the ground, "Okay, brother, let's go home now."
Jiang Yan followed Meng Tang like a puppet, letting him take off the quilt wrapped around her, and then put on the clothes she didn't have time to put on.
At this moment, Meng Tang stood in front of Jiang Yan, lowered his head slightly and helped the young man button his shirt.
Jiang Yan wore a white base shirt inside and a thin casual shirt outside. He looked refreshed in the clothes, but his expression was not very good.
When Meng Tang was buttoning his shirt, he couldn't help but pinch the beauty's waist.
This action made the latter regain consciousness, frowning and asking: "What are you doing?"
Meng Tang rolled his fingertips nonchalantly, as if it really happened, and said calmly: "There was a mosquito just now, and I helped you crush it to death."
Ginger Salt: "..." Whose mosquito uses "root" as the unit of measurement?
You really don't even think before you tell a lie, do you?
Meng Tang certainly didn't know what he was thinking. As a snake king, he had little education, so he felt that his excuse was appropriate.
"Oh, right." Jiang Yan rubbed his head, apparently slowly recalling what Meng Tang had said before, "You just said we can leave. Have you found the herbs?"
Meng Tang nodded and said, "Yes, I found the medicine after working hard all night last night."
In fact, he only went out to look for one minute before he found it. Then he went home and slept with Jiang Yan in his arms all night. He accidentally slept with his true form exposed, and almost scared his wife to death QAQ.
But facing Jiang Yan, Meng Tang said with sincerity and regret: "It's all my fault. If I had found it earlier last night, maybe those bad snakes wouldn't have hurt--"
"I'm fine." Jiang Yan interrupted, "Let's go back. I don't know if that person can still hold on."
"Brother, you are so kind. You still remember him at this time." Meng Tang sighed.
Jiang Yan ignored him and went downstairs.
***
The process of returning from the back mountain was still very smooth. If it weren't for the snake that suddenly appeared on the bed later, he might really think that there were no snakes in the back mountain and that the legends were all false.
When they returned to the Meng family, the poisoned young man was still lying motionless on the bed, but compared to a day ago, his face was now dark and blue, as if he had been severely poisoned.
As soon as the woman saw the two men coming back, she rushed over without stopping. She grabbed Meng Tang and Jiang Yan's arms with both hands and couldn't help but cried out: "Look at my son quickly, I can't even feel his heartbeat."
Crying sounds were heard in the room, and Xu Fusheng rushed over when he heard the noise.
Meng Tang asked his grandfather to take the woman away. Jiang Yan wanted to leave, but was stopped by someone who called him, "Brother, please stay and help me."
Afterwards, Jiang Yan helped Meng Tang boil water and make handkerchiefs according to his instructions.
"By the way, are you going to help cool him down later?"
Jiang Yan asked casually as he wet the dry towel in warm water.
Meng Tang pretended to detoxify the person on the bed, showing that he was very busy, but he still listened to Jiang Yan's words patiently and replied: "I am not doing that now."
"No." Jiang Yan didn't know what he was thinking about, and his ears turned red. "Didn't you say before that the snake venom would have sequelae, so didn't you also hold him to cool him down?"
"Oh, you mean this." Meng Tang understood, stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at him, "Do you want me to do this?"
"Me?" Jiang Yan pointed at himself, looking confused. "Why are you asking me?"
"Okay, if you don't mind me hugging other men." Meng Tang sighed.
Jiang Yan: “…” What the hell is going on.
"Forget it." Meng Tang suddenly said, "As a man of virtue, I still mind it."
Jiang Yan: “…” What is this person talking to himself?
The next second, Jiang Yan was attracted by Meng Tang's sudden standing up, and subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"
Meng Tang said, "Okay."
"Oh?" Jiang Yan leaned over to take a look.
Sure enough, the young man's face was gradually recovering its color, and the originally dull dark blue color was disappearing little by little, and was instead covered with rosy pink.
After a while, the unconscious young man was able to open his eyes. Although only a slit opened his eyes, the recovery effect was already very good.
The effect is so quick.
Is it so magical?
Jiang Yan was somewhat shocked. Even Xu Fusheng was helpless against this poison, but it was quickly neutralized by this young man.
Indeed, people still need to read more.
At this moment, Jiang Yan believed his parents' earnest advice to study.
"You can come in now."
Meng Tang packed up the medicines and shouted towards the door.
The mother, who was anxious to take care of her son, opened the door without hesitation and ran straight to her son, asking him as if he were a treasure: "Son, how do you feel now?"
The mother and son were reunited, and Meng Tang and Jiang Yan left the room tacitly.
As soon as he got out of the door, Meng Tang couldn't wait to ask: "How is my technique?"
"Uh, it's okay."
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he felt something was strange.
"Let's go, brother. We haven't had breakfast yet."
…
After breakfast, the two went out together.
I originally wanted to go out and relax, but when I walked to a small river, I saw a lot of people gathered there.
Jiang Yan, who was naturally curious, walked straight to the river, and Meng Tang followed him quietly.
There were several of Jiang Yan's friends in the crowd. One of them accidentally saw Jiang Yan coming over and waved first: "Xiao Jiang." He paused, and saw Meng Tang was also there, so he greeted him, "Brother Meng, you are here too."
These people were the ones who had been around Jiang Yan when he went fishing and was bitten by a snake.
Still very loyal and righteous.
Meng Tang was slightly startled, pursed his lips and said: "Xiao Jiang? What kind of relationship is so close?"
The sound was relatively quiet and only Jiang Yan could hear it.
Jiang Yan glanced at him and said, "What's our relationship? Tiantian is my brother."
Meng Tang blushed but said nothing.
Jiang Yan ignored him and walked over to his partner Li Si. "Why are there so many people here? What happened?"
"Hey, don't tell me." Li Si sighed, "A girl was washed away by the river."
Wang Wu also came over and said with the same regret: "It's the youngest sister of the Chen family. She was so well-behaved. It's such a pity."
Jiang Yan knew that this little sister was not yet eight years old, but she was very well-behaved and polite. The brothers often played with this little sister and they got along very well.
However, the Chen family had six children. Except for the eldest brother who died of illness at an early age, the rest were all girls. Except for the youngest sister who stayed in the village to attend elementary school, the other sisters stayed in the city to study or settle down.
"The river isn't deep, how could he have drowned?" Jiang Yan asked puzzledly, while pushing forward into the crowd, trying to see the whole picture.
Li Si stopped him and said, "Hey, your face is all swollen. If you weren't wearing the bracelet we made by ourselves, I would have almost failed to recognize you."
Jiang Yan was stunned and subconsciously turned back to look at Meng Tang.
Meng Tang asked doubtfully, "Why are you looking at me? No matter how powerful I am, I can't bring her back to life."
Jiang Yan shook his head and looked at the crowd again. Almost everyone in the village had come, swarming there like ants.
The sunlight from the sky poured down like a waterfall, making the crowd, the river, and the person wrapped in white cloth on the shore shine brightly.
Today should have been a good day, but it doesn't seem to be suitable at this moment.
"Speaking of which..." Jiang Yan seemed to have thought of something, "It's been so long, her family hasn't come yet?"
Several friends were stunned, "That's right, the whole village is here, why are there no people from the Chen family?"
"That's right. I remember someone went to call the Chen family." Li Si looked up at the crowd and grabbed a young man of the same age. "Hey, didn't you call them earlier? How come no one from the Chen family has come yet?"
"I did shout." The young man said, "But you also know that Chen Meili is pregnant again. Her belly is quite big, so it's normal for her to walk slowly."
"Then didn't you say her daughter was dead?" Li Si continued to ask.
"Yes." The young man said, pressing his forehead. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and clapped his hands and said, "But it's strange to say that when I mentioned this, they didn't seem to panic at all. It's really strange."
It's strange that he could be drowned by this river.
So was this really an accident?
I don't quite believe in ginger and salt.
Suddenly, a pair of hands rested on Jiang Yan's shoulders, giving him a fright.
Looking back, it was Mengtang.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yan asked in a muffled voice.
Meng Tang said, "You don't look well."
"What else?" Jiang Yan replied, "She's just a little girl."
Meng Tang wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.
After a while, people from the Chen family arrived.
The woman in the lead was pregnant and rushed into the crowd, crying loudly.
Seeing this, the onlookers immediately made room for the woman.
Behind the woman was a middle-aged man, also with a worried look on his face. Although he was a grown man, he moved very slowly, even slower than a pregnant woman, and followed like a turtle.
But everyone else's attention seemed to be focused on the woman, and they did not doubt the man's behavior.
Jiang Yan did the same. After he emerged from the crowd, he followed the woman's footsteps closely, all the way to the river.
The woman pulled away the white cloth covering her daughter and burst into tears.
At this time, Jiang Yan saw clearly the appearance of the girl on the ground.
The childish and lively face in his memory had long since changed beyond all recognition. He took a deep breath, and then felt a little unstable, as if he would fall down in the next second.
Fortunately, Meng Tang caught him, and heard a low and gentle voice in his ear, "Brother, don't look, let's go back."
"No." Jiang Yan curled his fingers, "I think things are a bit strange."
"Okay." Meng Tang sighed secretly, but on the surface he said calmly, "I will accompany you no matter what you want."
…
However, at night, something unexpected happened to everyone.
The little girl mysteriously came back to life.
