Chapter 018: The Evil Snake in the Mountain Village-18
The next day, Meng Tang woke up and found that Jiang Yan was missing.
Meng Tang: ??? Where is my wife?
He patted the little snake that was still sleeping beside him with his tail, "Wake up, the sun is shining on your butt."
The little snake rubbed the floor sleepily. It was so hard. Woo, where was mommy's soft embrace?
It was still in a sleepwalking state, rubbing and sliding its head against the stone slab, trying to find the warm embrace it had felt not long ago. It didn't realize that Jiang Yan had left, and it rubbed all the way like a trance until it landed under Meng Tang's tail.
“Pah—”
Meng Tang slapped the little snake with his tail expressionlessly. The little snake woke up with a pain on his face.
The little snake looked at the big snake daddy in a daze, "Why isn't mommy here?"
Meng Tang: "I also want to ask you, you sleep like a pig."
Little snake: “…” Dad, you are so rude. You even scold yourself.
"Forget it." Meng Tang said again, and warned the little snake, "I have to go out for something today, you take good care of your mommy."
The little snake raised its eyelids, as if it had many doubts, but it did not ask, but smiled happily: "Of course."
Who doesn't want to spend some happy time alone with mommy?
Meng Tang looked at the little snake's disappointing appearance and sighed, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he continued to add, "If I am not back before the sun sets, you can take him back to the village."
"Huh?" The little snake cub had a question mark on his face, "You're not going to marry Mommy?"
Meng Tang glanced at it and said nothing.
…
"Boss, I've already asked people to set up an ambush. What's our plan now?"
As Meng Tang walked out of the cave, a snake with a silver ring wrapped around its tail slid over.
"Are the snakes ready?"
"Okay, they're all elite, right outside."
Meng Tang nodded: "Let's go."
"Yes, sir."
However, when several snakes were walking towards the back door to the west in a menacing manner, they encountered Jiang Yan by chance.
Jiang Yan was holding a basket filled with freshly caught fish, which were still alive and kicking.
Standing next to the young man were Chen Zhi and several other beautiful snake women who had transformed into human forms. They were talking and laughing, and there were varying degrees of wet marks on their clothes. It was obvious that they had just returned from fishing in the creek.
Several people noticed the huge group of snakes on Mengtang's side, but as soon as Mengtang saw Jiang Yan, he shrank back into the group and hid himself inside.
Therefore, Jiang Yan did not discover the existence of her fiancé.
"Boss, what are you doing?" A snake asked, "Isn't that my sister-in-law? Why don't you go and say hello?"
"You are so clever." Meng Tang kicked the snake that was talking with his tail, "Come closer quickly, don't expose me."
"Oh, you guys had a fight."
The snake looked strong but not very smart. It didn't understand the hint and continued to ask questions.
Meng Tang glared at it but was too lazy to struggle with it. "Yes, yes, you are right."
As expected, as the snake king, he still can't be too close to his tribesmen.
As a result, several people passed by more than a dozen snakes.
As Meng Tang twisted his body and slid over, he turned his head reluctantly to look at Jiang Yan's increasingly distant figure. He didn't recognize him because he just didn't want to make the other person worry.
It felt that there was still some affection between it and Jiang Yan. If it left home so suddenly, its wife would definitely miss it a lot.
In fact, it misses its wife too.
However, because it had the mission of being the snake king, it had to abandon its wife and children and leave its hometown.
Meng Tang sighed softly, and the next second his eyes became firm, as if he had made some kind of decision.
When it returns triumphantly this time, it will definitely come back to pamper its beloved wife.
OK, let’s go.
Several snakes once again marched towards the west with great momentum, as if each of them had his own inevitable mission, and they looked like a regular army in the morning light.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan seemed to sense something, stopped and turned around. From his perspective, in the distance, there were more than a dozen snakes that gathered into a river and moved slowly in the sunlight.
And in this dark green stream, a familiar green shadow caught his attention.
Chen Zhi at the side asked: "What's wrong with my brother?"
Jiang Yan shook his head, "I think I saw it wrong."
The snake should still be sleeping in the cave.
"Let's go. We've caught so many fish. We can finally have a decent meal today." Jiang Yan spoke with a hint of melancholy in his voice.
After putting the fish away, Jiang Yan returned to the cave.
There was indeed a snake lying inside, soundly sleeping, but it was not the one he was looking for.
Jiang Yan leaned over and stared at the snake cub in front of him for a while. After a while, he raised a finger and poked the snake in front of him, "Shi Tou, wake up."
Hearing someone calling its name, the little snake woke up quickly. When it opened its eyes, they were still bright, just like a child waiting for his parents to return home.
Although Stone was the name given to it by its father, its father seldom called it that, and other snakes were even less likely to do so, so now the only person who would call it by its name was its mother.
The little snake cub happily rubbed against the finger that its mother had just poked it with, raised its little tiger teeth and said, "What's wrong, Mommy?"
When Jiang Yan heard the word "Mommy", he was slightly stunned. He was still a little uncomfortable with others calling him that, let alone other species.
This way of getting along is really strange.
Jiang Yan pursed his lips, but didn't say much, "Where's your...father?"
The little snake pouted and thought for a moment, "Oh, Daddy was just looking for you." The next second it shook its head, "No, Daddy entrusted Mommy to me."
Jiang Yan frowned, "What do you mean?"
The little snake scratched his head. "Daddy didn't tell me what it was specifically. He just told me that if he didn't come back before the sun went down, I would take Mommy home."
go home?
Going back to the village?
Jiang Yan paused to think for a moment, then looked up and asked, "When did your father leave?"
The little snake boy answered truthfully: "Well, it should be about twenty minutes ago."
After Daddy left, the little snake fell asleep again, and began to dream. In the dream, it ate sheep, an average of one sheep per minute, and ate about twenty sheep, so it was deduced that it took twenty minutes.
It's such a clever little snake.
When Jiang Yan heard the time, he calculated it and realized that this was the time when he would meet a group of snakes after catching the fish.
So the snake was in there too?
No wonder I felt there was a very familiar shadow in it.
Unfortunately, he was face-blind, and the snake had no special markings.
That’s not right. Although he didn’t recognize the “fiancé” snake, it should have recognized himself.
So the snake was hiding on purpose?
Jiang Yan's expression was complicated. What on earth was this snake doing?
Perhaps because he had watched too many horror and suspense dramas, Jiang Yan had already imagined in his mind a bloody scene of a group of snakes attacking a village and devouring humans.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but tremble, then lowered his eyes.
That shouldn't be the case.
This snake... doesn't seem as ferocious as I imagined.
So what exactly does it do?
No, no. Why should he think about the snake? If it really left him behind, wouldn't that be something to be thankful for?
Jiang Yan patted his face, encouraging himself to cheer up quickly. But even though he said that, he clearly felt a little empty in his heart, as if he had been completely abandoned by someone before, that kind of heart-wrenching, hidden pain.
"Mommy, are you hungry? You look not well." The little snake looked worried, thinking that his mommy must be hungry.
In the past, when it was hungry in the wild, it also had an expression like Mommy’s, as if its body was hollowed out QAQ.
So, as his mother's good boy, the little snake endured the pain and took out the snacks he had treasured for a long time from the mechanism in the wall.
With a loud "rumbling" sound, the wall in front of Jiang Yan began to move to the left and right, and then a secret room-like space appeared in front of Jiang Yan.
This wall is actually a secret door!
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Yan walked in.
He came to this familiar yet terrifying place, and memories of the past gradually emerged.
This should be his second time coming here.
The first time he accidentally entered this place while looking for Chen Zhi, he saw a giant snake, which almost scared him to death.
Fortunately, the giant snake did not do anything to him, but only asked him to marry its "son". Since then, he has never seen the giant snake again.
A complex emotion appeared on Jiang Yan's face, and he suddenly remembered that these days other snakes always called his "fiancé" "boss", "master" or something else.
The secret room-like space where he was at the moment was actually on the side of the bedroom.
Recalling a series of events that seemed coincidental but were actually deliberately arranged, Jiang Yan's face looked a little bad.
He should have thought of it earlier.
Maybe this was a scam from the beginning.
Although his so-called "fiancé" usually looks silly, who would have thought that it was such a snake who took advantage of his affection for Chen Zhi to "imprison" him here.
Maybe the reason why Chen Zhi didn't want to leave was because of the snake's secret instigation.
Jiang Yan imagined the worst outcome and turned to stare at the little snake beside him. His originally cold eyes were stunned at the snack that the little snake placed in front of him, which it regarded as a treasure.
Although these snacks are not on his diet as a human being.
Jiang Yan's emotions were in turmoil. He lowered his voice and asked, "What is your father's origin?"
"Eh?"
The little snake was a little panicked.
Daddy had asked him to keep it a secret before, and not to reveal his other identities.
[In fact, the man with eight-pack abs who lives with his mother day and night in the cave is the clingy boy in the village.]
The little snake said in his heart, but he looked innocent on the surface and looked at Jiang Yan with an expression of "Mommy, what are you talking about?" and "I don't know anything".
After a moment, the secret room fell into a long silence.
The little snake that had been confronting its mother was beginning to lose its footing.
Ahhh Daddy, I have done my best!
I want to be mommy's good baby. I can't lie to him anymore. I'm going to tell you your secret. Goodbye, daddy!
The little snake took a deep breath, then suddenly raised its head with an expression as if it was ready to die.
However, just as it was about to speak, Jiang Yan spoke first.
"I remember you said before that some snakes can not only transform into human form, but can also change themselves at will." Jiang Yan paused, then continued, "Your daddy is the big snake that scared me before, right?"
"All the snakes here obey him."
"If I'm not mistaken, your father is the extremely cruel evil snake that can curse people in the rumors, right?"
After Mommy finished speaking, the little snake opened his eyes wide.
...Eh hey hey?
After the reflex arc returned to its original position, the little snake cubs united in their hatred of the enemy: "Yes, Mommy, it seems that I can no longer hide it from you. Daddy is indeed the big villain you said! His crime is unforgivable!"
