Chapter 008: Village Evil Snake-8
"Help! The dead have resurrected!"
The little girl's father, Chen Fugui, was the first to rush out of the funeral house and plunge into the brightly lit night.
The villagers who came to mourn were shocked by his behavior and asked one after another: "Old man Chen, what happened?"
Chen Fugui sat down on the weeds outside the house. In the dim moonlight, he pointed to the inner room with trembling hands, and said with extremely stiff purple lips: "He's alive. He's alive."
At this time, someone joked: "My daughter is alive, isn't this a good thing? Why are you still scared?"
"Where is Chen Meili?" another person asked.
Chen Fugui said woodenly, "Inside."
After hearing this, the brave few looked at each other and walked in without any prior arrangement.
After seeing it with their own eyes, several villagers were convinced. In the middle of the coffin, they saw a little girl sitting upright. It seemed that her soul had not yet returned to her body, and she looked around with lifeless eyes.
On one side of the coffin, lay Chen Meili, who had fallen into a coma.
The most courageous ones stayed here to take a closer look, but the pretentious ones had already fled shouting, and continued to repeat what Chen Fugui said at the beginning, "Alive, alive!"
There were many onlookers and the news spread quickly.
Jiang Yan, who was still at the Meng family, rushed over immediately after hearing this. Meng Tang had originally intended to go with him, but he disappeared halfway through the journey.
Jiang Yan didn't think much about it, and left with Li Si, Wang Wu and others whom he met on the road.
The cramped burial chamber was already crowded with many people, most of whom were there to watch the excitement out of curiosity. They formed a circle around the coffin. Jiang Yan and others took a lot of effort to squeeze in.
Several young men blocked the view of others. Jiang Yan stood in front of the little girl and asked carefully, "Zhizhi, do you still remember me?"
The face of the little girl Chen Zhi was still covered with dust from the river, making her look very muddy and dirty. Originally, people who were put into the coffin should be dressed up by their relatives, but she was just the opposite, and her parents even buried her in a hurry.
Who would have thought that she came back to life when the "corpse" was moved.
At this time, Jiang Yan noticed that the little girl's face was not as swollen as when he saw her by the river before, and the color of her lips began to gradually improve, as if a dead person had really come back to life.
Jiang Yan gently wiped the little girl's face with his fingers to wipe off the gray-brown dirt. At this time, the little girl looked exactly the same as she did in his memory.
"Brother Jiang Yan." Chen Zhi opened her mouth and called softly.
When Li Si and Wang Wu saw her talking, they also poked their heads over and asked, "What's going on?"
***
On the other side, Meng Tang, who had disappeared halfway, was squatting in front of a bush.
In the moonlight, the shiny green grass rustled, and then a small green snake that almost blended into the grass came out.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the back hills? Why are you back again?"
The little snake tilted its head and said, "Daddy, I saved a person."
Meng Tang raised his hand and flicked the little snake's round head, then smiled and said, "You're lucky you don't bite people."
The little snake curled up its tail angrily, rubbed the spot where its father had flicked it with the tip of its tail, and said angrily with its mouth puffed, "I didn't lie to you, I really saved a little girl."
"I was taking a bath in the river this morning when I saw a woman pushing a little girl into the water. The girl was struggling." The little snake said, "I watched for a while, and then I thought with my clever brain that this vicious woman wanted to drown the little girl."
"And then I immediately bit the little girl."
Meng Tang held his forehead with his hand: "This..."
The little snake said proudly, "I put that little girl in a severe state of suspended animation, and when that woman saw that she wasn't moving, she left. Am I smart?"
Meng Tang was silent for a moment, then said, "Then why don't you just bite that woman?"
The little snake was stunned for a moment, then raised its head high and said fiercely: "Dad, look at how old I am? Besides, my venom is not strong to begin with. For an adult, it's just like scratching an itch."
Meng Tang: “That makes sense.”
"Of course not." The little snake wagged its tail proudly, stretched its head out to look behind Meng Tang, and asked in confusion, "Daddy, have you not coaxed Mommy yet? Why didn't she come with you?"
Meng Tang said coldly: "He went to see other pretty girls and doesn't want you anymore."
The little snake's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, but the next second he imitated his father and turned cold, "It must be your problem. I'm so obedient and cute, how could it be possible!"
Meng Tang stared at the loach-like snake in front of him, pulled the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "Sorry, you have already lost in terms of species."
"When you become an adult, maybe your mom will like you," Meng Tang said, and then added, "but a little less than she likes me."
The little snake was slightly angry, shaking its tail and diving into the dense grass, "Bad guy."
Meng Tang clicked his tongue twice, wondering how come this little snake still has a temper.
If Jiang Yan really liked it, its tail would be up to the sky.
Meng Tang pondered for a moment and decided to ask Jiang Yan to give birth to a few more snakes to calm the temper of these little snakes.
It doesn't seem to be impossible.
Meng Tang thought about it, and went to find Jiang Yan, following the scent left on his body.
***
Unfortunately, the little girl hit her head and her memory was somewhat damaged, so she forgot the cause of the accident.
In the bright lobby, the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
Chen Meili hugged her lost daughter and said to everyone, "Thank you all for your concern for my daughter. You can go back now."
Li Si, who was sitting at the table, slapped his forehead and said, "Then you won't investigate the truth? This is obviously man-made."
Granny Chen cursed: "What do you mean by man-made? It was obviously the girl who fell down herself."
"Why are you so excited? You don't want to murder your granddaughter, do you?" At this time, Wang Wu also stood up and looked down at the old woman in the wheelchair. "Everyone knows that you want a grandson, you vicious old woman."
"What's wrong with Wang Wu? Why are you cursing? Hurry up and sit down!" Wang Wu's old man received his wife's hint and immediately pulled his child back to his seat. Then he apologized, "I'm sorry, my son is just like me, he has a bad temper."
Wang Wu slapped his father's hand away. He really couldn't stand his father's appearance. He was intimidated by the Chen family's little property. But after all, they were blood relatives, so he was forced to shut up.
In fact, these operations are not uncommon in the village, but most people choose to keep quiet and turn a blind eye in order to avoid trouble.
Just like the rumors about the curse in the back mountain, in fact no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, they are just hearsay.
In the past, the back mountain was an unspoken "dating" place.
A lot of time passed and people in the lobby began to leave, after all, the night was almost over.
"Jiang Yan, Li Si and I are leaving first."
"OK."
Jiang Yan said goodbye to his friends. He stayed here for a long time. From the bustling lobby at the beginning to the deserted one now. And his parents did not come from beginning to end.
"Why don't you leave?"
The person who said this was Chen Meili. She frowned and her expression was full of displeasure.
Jiang Yan ignored her and said to Chen Zhi beside her, "Come to your brother's house tonight and sleep."
Chen Meili stretched out her arms to block her daughter, "I am her mother."
Jiang Yan said "Oh".
Chen Meili's original surname was not Chen, but after marrying Chen Fugui, she listened to her mother-in-law and changed her surname, saying that this would make it easier for her to conceive grandchildren.
Seeing that his wife and mother were not happy, Chen Fugui also joined the team to chase them away, and said to Jiang Yan arrogantly: "Jiang child, you hurry back."
Jiang Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sound at the door.
"Hey, why is it so lively?"
Meng Tang's tall figure appeared in everyone's sight. The moonlight coming in from behind the door outlined his handsome face. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
Then he took a big step and came directly to Jiang Yan.
"What are you discussing? Why don't you take me with you?"
Meng Tang stood behind Jiang Yan's seat, put a hand on Jiang Yan's shoulder, but his eyes were raised towards the Chen family.
He glanced at the few people back and forth, and finally set his sights on Chen Zhi, "Hey, little sister, it turns out to be you."
After these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, including Jiang Yan.
Logically speaking, Meng Tang shouldn't know Chen Zhi. He had only been in the village for a few days, and the number of people he had met could be counted on one's fingers.
But Meng Tang said, "When I went out to help Xiao Jiang catch fish this morning, didn't I see you walking with a pregnant woman?"
Fishing?
They had obviously always been together.
Jiang Yan raised his eyes to look at him, only to see that he blinked at him.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Chen Meili couldn't hide the panic on her face and said rudely.
"Well, it turns out that you, a woman, want to kill my precious granddaughter!"
At the same time, for some reason, Grandma Chen started to speak up for Jiang Yan and the others, which was rare.
Is this a sign of conscience?
When Jiang Yan was doubtful, he saw Grandma Chen raised her hand and seemed to hit her daughter-in-law in the face. He was startled and stood up and shouted: "What are you doing!"
Granny Chen then stopped what she was doing, stared at Jiang Yan with resentment, and said confidently, "Isn't this the result you wanted?"
Jiang Yan was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, brother. It's hard to explain it to them."
As the sky outside grew darker, Xu Fusheng finally showed up.
"Why don't you two go home?"
Xu Fusheng walked towards the two young men with a cane.
Jiang Yan then realized that Xu Fusheng's feet seemed to be unsteady, and Meng Tang behind him asked first: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Fusheng waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. "I accidentally fell when I went to collect herbs this morning. Luckily your father found it."
Here it refers to Jiang Yan’s father.
"Okay, come with me. I've already told your father that you will sleep with my grandson tonight." Xu Fusheng said to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan exclaimed, "Ah!" and thought to himself: Is his father really reliable? Why would he just push me to sleep with someone I haven't seen for a few days?
Meng Tang, who was standing beside him, coughed twice and said, "The bed is big enough for everyone to sleep on."
Jiang Yan: “…”
"But Chen Zhi..." Jiang Yan was still a little worried and continued to look in the direction of the little girl.
The little girl was very sensible. She blinked at Jiang Yan and said, "Brother, I remember now. I seemed to be bitten by a snake when I was playing by the river, and then I accidentally fell asleep."
Meng Tang was stunned. He remembered it but didn't remember it completely.
At this time, Xu Fusheng heard the sound and went over to look at the little girl, and found a bite mark on the back of her neck.
After some questioning, Xu Fusheng said: "This snake's venom is not very poisonous, it should only cause a person to become unconscious."
"I said it was a misunderstanding!"
Chen Meili suddenly blurted out something, and her mother-in-law beside her frowned and snorted.
"It's God's blessing."
Chen Fugui, who had been silent, also began to sigh.
In the end, Jiang Yan followed Meng Tang and Xu Fusheng away.
But before leaving, Jiang Yan still said to Chen Zhi alone, "Come and call me brother if anything happens."
Chen Zhi nodded obediently, "Good night, brother, sweet dreams."
"good evening."
A quarter of an hour later.
Jiang Yan immediately regretted his decision when he returned to the Meng family.
Under the flickering light, he stood in front of the bed, pointed with his fingers, and frowned slightly, "Is this the big bed you mentioned?"
Meng Tang said, "Oh, it's a little small indeed." The next second, he put Jiang Yan on it and whispered in the beautiful young man's ear, "Won't the bed be bigger when I get married? Don't you think so, brother?"
Jiang Yan frowned and pushed him away. "Say this to your wife, why are you telling me? We can't even be brothers!"
Meng Tang muttered, "I didn't say we were brothers."
"..." After a moment, Jiang Yan asked, "How are you going to sleep tonight?"
Meng Tang slightly widened his eyes and subconsciously pointed at himself, "Shall I choose?"
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, his expression revealing confusion.
Little did he know that Meng Tang had already thought of many postures in his mind.
A single bed can accommodate two people in various postures.
