Chapter 019: Mountain Village Evil Snake-19
Seeing that the little snake had turned into a slander group, Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment. He felt a little complicated, and his instinct told him that he should take Chen Zhi back to the village immediately.
"What's wrong, Mommy?"
The little snake continued to look at Jiang Yan with a "good boy" expression, as if they were a family.
Jiang Yan rested his chin on his hand and pondered. Suddenly, some sporadic sounds came from outside the cave.
Jiang Yan and the little snake left the secret room and walked out of the cave. He saw several half-snake men gathered outside and whispered something.
He walked over quietly and soon found out what they were discussing.
"Do you think the boss and the others will be in danger?"
"It is said that this gang of thieves has trained several hunting dogs, and they are very ferocious."
"Wow, that's so scary."
Based on previous speculation, Jiang Yan already knew that the boss of these snakes was his fiancé, so when the voices were halfway through the discussion, he interrupted and asked, "Where did your boss go?"
Before the snake realized who was talking, it couldn't stop itself from saying, "Of course, we went to the village to the west to fight with that group of people."
After that, the speaker slowly saw the face of the questioner and was so frightened that he could not speak clearly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?"
Jiang Yan didn't take the title seriously and continued to ask, "Is there anyone among you who can lead the way?"
After much thought, Jiang Yan decided to go find that person.
For a moment, he felt that his choice was absurd, but the uneasiness in his heart told him that he would miss something if he didn't go.
Is it true that if you stay with these extraordinary creatures for a long time, you will experience hallucinations?
Jiang Yan walked out of the group of snakes that were discussing and from the shadow of the tree. The bright sunlight outlined his slender figure. When the wind stopped blowing, the young man was as beautiful as a painting.
Unfortunately, the person who always loved to be around him was now facing a tough battle.
"Boss, it looks like their deal has been brought forward."
Behind a hidden bush, several snakes were whispering to each other. Meng Tang deliberately shrunk his body to the smallest size. At first glance, his body was almost the same size as a baby snake.
To avoid being exposed, Meng Tang retracted his snake tail slightly, and his two dark green eyes stared intently at the makeshift village a few meters away.
"It's a good thing we came early." said the snake next to him.
Meng Tang nodded and suddenly asked, "Why hasn't the scout snake come back yet?"
One snake looked at the watch on its tail. It was a mini watch given by his wife who had just married him. The watch was still very new. He looked at the pointer and said, "It's been more than half an hour. Something is wrong."
"We won't be discovered, will we?"
As soon as the words fell, the snake was hit by his teammates, "Don't be a crow's mouth."
Meng Tang put on a serious expression, and after careful consideration, he resolutely said: "There is not much time left. One team will go to rescue the snakes that are about to be auctioned, and the rest of the snakes will follow me to sneak into the camp and rescue the rest of our tribesmen."
"Got it!" the other snakes responded.
Time was running out, the midday sun was already high in the sky, and a hint of dry heat filled the air, making all the snakes feel stuffy in their hearts.
Mengtang broke through first at an extremely fast speed. It teleported into the village quickly, then climbed the railings or walls outside and sneaked into one of the rooms.
"Grass, snake!"
A human scream exploded in my ears.
Meng Tang was startled. He had taken the wrong path and walked into the room where humans were imprisoned.
"Damn it, didn't they say they were going to sell us out? Why did they let the snake in?"
"If you die, we'll just dig out your organs. Who would buy someone as old as us? Most people just pay for their kidneys."
"Wow, it's true."
The sound of two people talking gradually rang out in the room. Meng Tang hesitated for a moment; the voices sounded familiar.
Looking back, he saw that there were indeed a few familiar faces among the imprisoned humans. The two people who had just spoken were Jiang Yan's good friends Li Si and Wang Wu, whom he had met in the village before.
"Oh, I came out to look for ginger and salt, but I didn't expect to lose my life." Li Si said bitterly.
Wang Wu was a little more optimistic. "Think positively. Jiang Yan's not here means he wasn't caught by these people. At least one of us three managed to escape, right?"
Li Si's face turned even paler. He said quietly, "There are either snakes or robbers in the back mountain. What if he is already in the snake's belly?"
The snake that broke into the room felt someone looking at him. Meng Tang raised his head and happened to meet Li Si's eyes, whose eyes were full of melancholy.
"Don't worry, Jiang Yan has been to the back mountain so many times and came back alive, right? His luck can't be that bad." He was comforting others even though he was still in a dangerous place.
Li Si stared at Wang Wu, who was smiling, and said lightly, "Then why did he disappear for so many days and not come back? Could it be that he eloped with a snake?"
Really.
Meng Sheshe thought to herself.
After being reminded by the two people who were talking, he realized belatedly that he should have left a message to Jiang Yan's family, for example: Your baby son is fine, he is living well in the back mountain, and he will be back after he gives birth to my baby.
"Hey, why isn't this snake moving?"
Li Si scratched his face and said that he was also afraid of snakes, but if he had to choose between getting bitten by a snake and having his kidneys cut, he would choose the latter.
Meng Sheshe had already looked around the room while the two were talking. Except for the two adults, Li Si and Wang Wu, the rest were children. They should be from other villages, all huddled together with their heads huddled.
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting outside. It should be the snake that was brought and the group of thieves fighting.
"Fuck, what are these things? Why do they have tails?!"
"F*cking monsters, kill them quickly, don't let them run away!!"
“——Bang, bang, bang!!”
Some people spoke in an incomprehensible dialect, but from the anger in their voices one could vaguely tell they were using some swear words.
Meng Sheshe took a last look at the people in the room. They couldn’t let them out yet. They were too young, and there were bullets and gunfire everywhere outside, so they could easily get hurt.
The only way is to drive away the thieves completely.
This is destined to be a tough battle.
Meng Sheshe thought as he quietly left the room. However, just as he retreated to the door and prepared to get out from the gap below, Li Si's exclamation caught his attention.
"Isn't that Jiang Yan? And that little fat boy Xia Zheng." Li Si said, leaning against a small broken window and looking outside.
Xia Zheng is the young man whom Meng Tang rescued before. He was a fat boy when he was young and had a good relationship with Jiang Yan and the others. But later he left the village to study. As time passed, he grew into a handsome young man.
Mengtang is full of a sense of crisis about this person.
He had seen Xia Zheng in front of Chen's house before. This young man always stared at his Jiang Yan. From this malicious look, he knew that -
This guy named Xia Zheng has a crush on his wife!
Although Jiang Yan thought he was a straight man, if he was asked to choose between Xia Zheng, a human, and him, a snake, Meng Tang was not confident.
Even though this world... is his work.
Meng Sheshe gritted his teeth and quickly rushed out of the room. He ran all the way and immediately slid to the ground.
Not far away, Jiang Yan and Xia Zheng were hiding behind a tree. With the cover of the dense leaves and the other thieves being too busy fighting to pay attention to them, the two were safe for the time being.
If you don't pay special attention, it's hard to find them.
But Mengtang, as a snake woman, quickly locked onto the two people behind the tree. A fierce battlefield ensued between them, with the snake man fighting the thieves with the weapons he had seized.
"What are these things? Why do they have human bodies but snake tails?"
Behind the tree, Xia Zheng, who was beside Jiang Yan, asked, "Did you see it?"
Jiang Yan nodded. He had seen most of the snake people inside.
He had just found this place under the guidance of other snakes, and from the other snakes, he learned the purpose of his fiancé's trip.
Even though Jiang Yan still didn't know his fiancé's name, he was a little moved as they spent more time together. He felt conflicted and moved at the same time, which was a very contradictory feeling.
Jiang Yan felt that the snake was not as bad or evil as described in the legend (except for the fact that it could transform into a human and speak human language), but he didn't understand why the snake went to such great lengths to keep him in the back mountain.
She said it was for reproduction, but when he brought up the topic of having children that day, she hesitated.
What a bad and not very smart snake.
"Xiaoyan? What's wrong with you?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Zheng asked again.
Jiang Yan came to his senses and said, "Those snakes won't hurt us."
"Ah?" Xia Zheng was surprised to see Jiang Yan say this without hesitation. "What happened to you these days? Why don't you go home?"
Jiang Yan's eyelashes trembled, "It's... nothing." Then he changed the subject, "By the way, why did you come to the back mountain? Didn't you get bitten once before? Why do you dare to come here again?"
Xia Zheng was stunned. "Actually, I came here with Li Si and Wang Wu. I...we were all very worried about you. As a result, we met a group of human traffickers on the way to find you. The two of them were arrested, and I luckily escaped."
"I wanted to go back to the village to call for help." Xia Zheng touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "but I got lost and walked here unknowingly, and then I saw you."
"Is that so..." Jiang Yan murmured.
Xia Zheng continued to ask: "What about you? Why are you here too? Were you also captured by them?"
Jiang Yan was wondering whether he should tell the truth, but what should he say? Should he say that he came to look for a snake, or that he was with a snake?
This sounds absurd no matter how you look at it.
Jiang Yan fell into deep thought, but at this moment, the noisy sound of fighting disappeared.
Is it over already?
Jiang Yan and Xia Zheng looked at each other, and just as they were about to step forward to check the situation, someone covered their mouths and noses from behind. A strange fragrance pierced their sense of smell, paralyzing their nerves before they had time to react.
"Tsk, we caught two more. This one looks pretty good. I should be able to sell it for a good price..."
These were the last words Jiang Yan heard before he fell into a coma.
