Chapter 016: The Evil Snake in the Mountain Village-16
In the cave, Meng Tang and Jiang Yan still slept on the same bed.
It can't be called a bed, it's just a simple straw mat, which is quite uncomfortable to sleep on.
In the dimly lit environment, Jiang Yan didn't even take off his clothes and just lay on his side on the straw mat.
The nameless man was sleeping next to him. Perhaps for some kind of safety reason, Jiang Yan had his back to the man.
"Why don't you turn around? Is it because I don't look good?" After finally sharing a bed with her, she only showed him her back. Meng Tang looked down at his coat which he had deliberately opened before going to bed. His abdominal muscles exposed to the air had smooth lines and a touching texture.
He originally wanted to seduce the other party a little, but Jiang Yan didn't even glance at him.
Meng Tang lowered his eyes, thinking that his wife was too reserved.
If it were him, he would have a nosebleed even if Jiang Yan only showed a pair of legs.
Or is it that he is too unrestrained?
Meng Tang scratched his head anxiously, raised his eyes and looked sadly at his wife's back which was so close to him. He licked the corner of his mouth and moved his gaze from his wife's airtight back to her slender white neck.
The skin is smooth and soft. I really want to take a bite of it, or use my snake tail to circle it and keep it for myself.
This is the fate of the prey that the snake has set its sights on. First the snake's body wraps around it, and then it reveals its fangs and delivers a devastating blow.
No, no, this is his beloved wife, how could he think like this!
The human body is very fragile and needs to be well protected.
Thousands of thoughts passed through Meng Tang's mind. Finally, he stretched out a finger and gently pulled Jiang Yan's clothes. "Are you asleep?"
After a moment, a calm voice came, "Asleep."
Meng Tang: “…”
After a while, the young man in front of him moved slightly, but still faced the wall. Only a sleepy voice sounded, "Do you have a pillow?"
Meng Tang poked his head at Jiang Yan a few times, and then he remembered that humans need pillows to sleep. Before, whether he was a human or a snake, he almost always slept on the floor, so he naturally forgot about it.
"Pillow?" Meng Tang echoed and quickly climbed up from the straw mat. He looked around and found no pillow, but there were many stones of different sizes.
After a slight silence, Meng Tang asked, "Is my head OK?"
The other party didn't speak.
Meng Tang regretted what kind of low-level answer he had given. Sure enough, his IQ was immediately exposed after he changed his body.
I should have used that medical student's body earlier.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the quiet cave. Meng Tang looked carefully and found that it was the little snake coming.
The little snake had also drunk a lot of wine, and its head was dizzy. It walked like a snake, staggering left and right, and several times it bumped into the stone walls on both sides.
Its head was swollen with several lumps, but it did not stop moving. Although it was unconscious, its sense of smell was still working.
It came here smelling the scent of ginger salt, and it wanted to return to the arms of its "mother". Or, to return to the head of ginger salt.
The little snake was very comfortable when it slept on Jiang Yan’s head. It was the first time since its birth that it slept so soundly.
As far as I can remember, it has always been exposed to the wind and sun, and even if it was picked up by the snake king, it would still live in the wild day and night because it could not complete the required hunting tasks. It was often exposed to the wind and sun, and was covered with wounds.
But this is a cruel reality that every snake has to go through, especially after the snake king stipulates that they are not allowed to harm humans, they can only face other more ferocious animals.
In the darkness, the little snake crawled and crawled. Finally, it sensed that its mother was very close to it, and its drunkenness dissipated a little.
However, just as he was in high spirits and forced himself to open his eyelids to try to take another look at his mother and say good night to her, he was caught.
Then it saw its father's dark, malicious eyes.
The last time I saw these eyes was when it was thrown into the wild to complete its hunting mission.
The little snake trembled inexplicably, and the next second, it heard the man say, "I found a pillow for you."
Hey, I'm not talking to it.
On the other side, Jiang Yan, who couldn't fall asleep because he had no pillow, turned around. His expression immediately turned cold after seeing the snake cub in the man's hand, and he spoke in a tone that was almost reproachful: "Why don't you use yourself as a pillow?"
After hearing this, the little snake's eyes started to water.
Woohoo, mommy is so nice QAQ.
Meng Tang also followed Jiang Yan's advice. After dropping the snake cub, he immediately transformed himself into a snake of appropriate size. Then he enthusiastically put his head behind Jiang Yan's neck and said, "Come on, wife, lift it up so I can get through."
Jiang Yan looked at the man's impatient expression and quickly realized that he had been deceived.
The other party is just waiting for him to say this, and then come over and stick it on!
Seeing this scene, the little snake cub, who was already resentful of his father, was even more shocked, and silently made a note in his heart: Ha, scheming daddy.
A quarter of an hour later.
The last scene of Jiang Yan before going to bed is him resting his head on Mengtang’s snake body, while the little snake cub is held in his arms as a pillow, and then he and the little snake fall asleep together beautifully.
As for the other snake, this slightly larger snake was able to get close to my wife at first, and was very happy even if it was used as a pillow.
Until it watched the little snake it replaced go directly into the soft and warm arms of its wife, and it almost popped its eyes out in shock.
It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous.
It's going crazy!
But in order not to disturb his wife's sleep, he couldn't even gnash his teeth to vent his anger.
As the snake king, his life is too miserable.
If this gets out, everyone will be laughed to death.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
…
"Morning, Boss. How was your time with your sister-in-law last night?"
Mengtang went out early in the morning. It continued to twist its snake body and crawl towards a stream. When it lowered its head to wash its face, several female snakes also slid over to say hello.
"Tsk, what's wrong? You still have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep all night?"
The female snakes were very brave and completely ignored the pressure from the snake king, chatting very enthusiastically.
Meng Tang buried his head in the water, and a string of bubbles came out of his mouth. After a few seconds, he raised his wet head and looked at the female snakes beside him coldly, "How is it possible? The dark circles under my eyes are because he pestered me and made trouble for me all night. That's why I didn't sleep well."
"Oh~ It's because our snake king dotes on his wife too much." The female snakes looked at each other and laughed.
Meng Tang snorted coldly, plunged into the stream again, and immersed his entire head in the warm water.
After the female snakes left with a smile, the surroundings gradually became quiet, leaving only the sound of flowing stream.
Suddenly, there were footsteps heard.
Meng Tang twisted his snake head and saw a thin figure, followed by Jiang Yan's fair and handsome face.
But the moment he saw him, Meng Tang thought: My wife seems to have lost weight.
Damn it, he doesn’t seem to be having a very good time here!
Meng Tang was startled for a moment, and thought to himself that he must go out and catch some larger and nutritious food for him today.
"Do you see the stone?"
The young man's gentle voice was heard, blending with the sound of water.
Meng Tang exclaimed "Ah" in confusion and looked down at the stream in front of him.
It plunged into the water, carefully picked out a stone and placed it at Jiang Yan's feet. Then it looked up at his wife and pointed at the stone with its tail and said, "Here."
Jiang Yan bent down to pick up the stone and fell into deep thought for a long time.
After a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Have you forgotten the name of the snake cub?"
The snake on the ground froze visibly, and a vague memory emerged in its mind -
It was a scene in which it had been secluded in the back mountains for a long time, and as soon as it came out, it picked up a newly hatched, bruised and battered baby snake from a pile of flies.
In fact, except for their green color, they are of different species. As the snake king, Mengtang does not need to take care of this snake of another species, and he can even eat it.
But - the snake king still softened his heart and picked the little snake out from the pile of flies. He also named the snake that lost its parents just after hatching "Stone", meaning that it should be as hard and strong as a stone.
Thinking back, Meng Tang waved his snake tail a few times and said, "We snake makers basically don't have names. I just couldn't remember them for the moment."
Hearing this, Jiang Yan asked curiously, "Then how do you call your own people?"
Meng Tang thought for a moment and replied, "There is no hard and fast rule for this. We identify our own people by the patterns. It doesn't really matter who the other party is."
"That means, there's a chance that I might have mistaken you?" Jiang Yan blinked and said jokingly.
To be honest, if the snake in front of him had not bitten him in the cave before, giving him the ability to understand snake language, he might not have been able to find this "fiancé" snake when he encountered a bunch of snakes along the way just now.
Jiang Yan recalled the scene a few minutes ago. When he woke up, he found that the two snakes in the cave were gone, and the original snake-shaped pillow was replaced by a pile of bundled clothes.
He recognized these clothes; they were what Orochi wore when he was in human form.
Afterwards, Jiang Yan left the cave to look for the "fiancé" snake. In the sunshine, among the piles of snakes all over the mountains, he looked very embarrassed. He even wanted to pull the little girl Chen Zhi, who was still playing with the beautiful snake not far away, back to the village.
However, when Chen Zhi tearfully begged him, "Brother, I don't want to go home. Can I play here for a while longer?", Jiang Yan hesitated.
The beautiful snakes with Chen Zhi had no qualms about his human identity and started chatting casually: "Are you looking for him? We just met, by the stream."
So, with the guidance of various snakes along the way, "Go to the right, yes, it's near the big tree", and some exaggerated words like "Yes, our boss was just crying by the stream, he was so sad, let's go find him"... In this way, Jiang Yan met Meng Tang.
Jiang Yan looked at the snake in front of him and sighed secretly. He had another reason to hate snakes: face blindness.
"No, my dear, even though you may mistake me now, you won't mistake me again after we officially have the wedding." The snake on the ground said, raising its head.
Jiang Yan played with the stone in his hand and asked, "Why?"
The snake said excitedly: "Don't you find that some of the snakes here are different from others?"
Jiang Yan closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Can some snakes turn into humans?"
The snake shook its head and swung its tail. The scales on it shone in the sunlight. It continued, "Tail!"
Jiang Yan stared at the tail of the snake in front of him. Apart from being very sharp and shiny, was there anything different about it?
Wait, some fragmented images emerged in his mind, and he suddenly remembered, "I seem to have noticed that some snakes have some decorations hanging on their tails."
Some snakes have flowers, rings, or obvious tattoos on their tails, while others, like the baby snake and the one in front of us, have completely bald tails.
Seeing that his wife had noticed it, Meng Tang happily shook his snake tail, his voice mixed with obvious excitement, "Well, these are the unique symbols of our tribe, and they are the symbols of forming a partnership."
"Only a small number of snakes can cultivate and become humans. To address this phenomenon, I have very cleverly developed a plan. After marriage, both parties will bind a token of love to each other's tails. In your human terms, it is a wedding ring."
Then, Meng Tang suggestively swung his snake tail in front of Jiang Yan, showing his fangs and smiling, "We'll be there soon too."
Jiang Yan pressed against his chin, and his long eyelashes, which were stained with a little light, trembled a few times. "It's a very good method."
After he finished speaking, he felt something wrapped around his ankle. He looked down and saw that the snake had stuck to him without him noticing.
While gently stroking his skin with the tip of her tail, she rubbed her head against his ankles, and waves of itchiness spread from his feet to his heart.
Jiang Yan rarely tried to drive it away, and let it do its thing. In the past, he would have either fainted from fear or the snake would have been accidentally stepped on and broken by his fearful behavior.
Perhaps it was his indulgence that made the snake bolder, and it even used the tip of its tail to lift up his trouser leg and tried to reach deep into his thigh.
Jiang Yan's face turned cold. He stood up before the snake succeeded, stretched out his legs, and shook them with a little effort. The snake "swished" and drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then "splashed" and fell directly into the water.
"Gurgle."
