Chapter 021: Mountain Village Evil Snake-21
At night, the action begins.
In the dim room, Meng Tang calmed Jiang Yan down and turned back into a snake. Other snake people followed suit. In an instant, the originally crowded room became much emptier.
"Wife, wait for me to come back!"
When leaving through the window gap, Meng Sheshe gave Jiang Yan an affectionate look for the last time. The latter held his forehead and couldn't bear to look at it.
After the surroundings were completely quiet, Xia Zheng finally had time to lean over to Jiang Yan and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Yan thought about it and felt that he could no longer hide the matter, so he told Xia Zheng all his experiences truthfully, of course, leaving out some details.
In short, what happened was that Jiang Yan went to the back mountain alone to save the little girl Chen Zhi from the Chen family. However, he met a giant snake. The snake said, "As long as you marry me, I will give you the little girl." So Jiang Yan stayed in the back mountain for several days.
"These snakes are so cruel. Are you a human being?" Xia Zheng was filled with anger. He looked up and saw Jiang Yan's delicate profile like jade. His Adam's apple choked.
Indeed, Jiang Yan was pretty when she was young, with fair and tender skin and a slender body. She stood out among a bunch of boys, and was often asked by the adults in the village, "Whose girl is this? Why is she always hanging out with boys?"
At first, Xia Zheng thought he was a straight man, but he was attracted to Jiang Yan again and again, especially when he was a child and was often teased by other children because he was a little fat. Jiang Yan was the only one who stayed out of it.
He still remembers clearly the time when he was pushed into the stream. Due to the uncoordinated limbs, he could not climb out, and he struggled and rolled in the stream like a ball. Amid the innocent yet hurtful teasing of the children, in the broken sunlight, only a little boy with a small bun on the back of his head reached out his hand to him.
Xia Zheng remembered the warmth of the child's palms, the pink bow tied in the child's hair, and the beautiful eyes that looked like glass.
Later, he left the city to work hard, and a big part of the reason was also for ginger and salt.
Xia Zheng stared at Jiang Yan in a daze, finding it hard to believe that Jiang Yan had actually gotten married?
No, she married a snake.
"But I saw that snake kissing you just now, and you...didn't resist."
From Jiang Yan's narration, Xia Zheng felt that it was the snake that forced the young man in front of him, but when he recalled the scene in the room just now, the two of them got along like a pair of lovers made in heaven.
In fact, Jiang Yan was also very conflicted and self-contradictory.
Logically speaking, he should hate the snake, and when the two of them first got along, he did show coldness and resistance.
Could this be a curse?
There is a saying that has been circulating in the village: don't go into the back mountain and don't get close to those snakes.
Rumor has it that those snakes are man-eating and will eat anyone who accidentally enters the back mountain. In addition, they will bring disaster to that person's family.
Jiang Yan looked down at his body. He was quite healthy, except that his skin was a little rough from sleeping on the grass for too long. But for a boy, this was no big deal.
"I don't know either."
Jiang Yan shook his head. Perhaps he was really cursed and began to "fall in love" with the snake.
Xia Zheng was very distressed. He grabbed Jiang Yan's hand and said, "It's just right that the snakes are gone. Let's sneak back to the village now."
Jiang Yan refused, "Aren't Li Si and Wang Wu also here? We still need to save them."
Xia Zheng thought for a moment and said, "If all else fails, let's go back to the village and get help."
As he spoke, Xia Zheng took out a piece of wire and started tinkering with the door lock.
Jiang Yan watched from the side, crossing his arms, "You can do this too?"
Xia Zheng smiled and said, "I learned it from a TV show."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a "click". The wind from the corridor blew in his face, scraping against his face like a knife and causing some pain.
Xia Zheng turned to look at Jiang Yan and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Yan had originally planned to wait for Meng Tang here, but seeing that the door was open, he was not the type of person who liked to sit and wait for death, so he followed him out.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be someone in this room."
The two were about to walk towards the stairs, but Jiang Yan heard a noise coming from a room near the stairs at the corner. Someone inside seemed to be a little collapsed after being locked up for too long, so he started cursing at the top of his lungs.
Jiang Yan recognized the voice, it was Li Si. Li Si was always impatient.
If I'm not mistaken, the other kidnapped people are also in this room.
Jiang Yan motioned Xia Zheng to wait a moment, and he walked closer to the room, knocked on the door, and lowered his voice and said, "I'm Jiang Yan. Are you all right inside?"
The people inside also recognized Jiang Yan's voice and moved towards the door, "You escaped?"
"I just heard a fight downstairs. What's going on over there?" This was Wang Wu's voice.
Jiang Yan didn't say anything, but lowered his head and fiddled with the lock on the door. He found that the door could not be opened from the inside, but could be opened from the outside, so he turned the handle and the door really opened.
Seeing this, Xia Zheng said, "This group of people probably didn't guess that someone would escape."
After the door was opened, Jiang Yan discovered that in addition to the two adults, Li Si and Wang Wu, there were also several children locked inside.
"Wow, I'm finally free."
After Li Si came out, he stretched his waist and the fatigue on his face disappeared.
"These children were also kidnapped. They are from the village next to ours. We have to take them back with us," said Wang Wu.
Jiang Yan nodded.
Afterwards, several people went downstairs carefully and found that the yard in front of them was very quiet. The only visible light source was the moon above their heads.
"Why is there no one here?"
Just as Li Si finished speaking, an angry shout came from not far away, "These snakes are so abominable. They actually dared to set fire."
Only then did everyone notice that there was a fire burning somewhere behind them.
"It looks like they have already started to act." Xia Zheng suddenly said, he glanced at Jiang Yan, "Then let's leave quickly too."
Except for Jiang Yan and Xia Zheng, no one else knew what the fire was about. As long as they could escape, it was fine.
However, after Xia Zheng and his companions had taken a few steps, they realized that someone was missing. They turned around and found that Jiang Yan was still standing there.
His heart sank, "Do you like that snake so much?"
Xia Zheng thought Jiang Yan was hesitating and wanted to wait for the snake to come back and go together.
However, when he touched the ginger salt, he unexpectedly discovered that the man's skin was very hot, like boiling water.
Have a fever?
Xia Zheng thought about it and noticed that Jiang Yan's face didn't look very good either, and he looked very painful.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when a faintly angry voice interrupted, "Let go of my wife!"
Then, a tall figure flashed over at an extremely fast speed, snatched the ginger salt from his hand and hugged the person tightly in his arms.
"Woman, why are you so hot?"
It seemed that the snake man was also a little confused, and a scream exploded in his ears.
The matter in Mengtang has been resolved. When he wanted to go back to his wife happily to take credit, he found a man being sneaky with his wife, and Jiang Yan looked confused, as if he had been drugged.
But after a moment, Meng Tang realized something and said, "Wow, wife, you are not going to do that, are you?"
At the beginning, Jiang Yan was bitten by a snake. Meng Tang made a pirated antidote for his own selfish reasons. The snake venom was completely eliminated, but some sequelae were left.
Jiang Yan would cause high fever symptoms every seven days, so Meng Tang, who had an extremely cold constitution, had to reduce the temperature and detoxify.
This sequelae will only disappear completely when the two people are officially united.
In fact, Mengtang used forced love on Jiang Yan at the beginning, but for some reason, maybe he felt guilty and didn't have the heart to do it.
Otherwise, according to his progress, there wouldn't be so many troubles later, and he would have a wife and children, and be happily married for hundreds of times.
Meng Tang sighed, hugged the hot stove in his arms, frowned and immediately prepared to go home.
Seeing the snake man trying to take Jiang Yan away, Xia Zheng tried to stop him and said, "Let him go!"
Unexpectedly, Meng Tang had already restrained his patience in the past. He stared at Xia Zheng coldly and said in a poisonous voice, "Get lost."
As if his feet were filled with lead, Xia Zheng stood stiffly where he stood, watching Jiang Yan being taken away by the snake people. In the end, Li Si and Wang Wuzhe returned and took him back.
"Hey, isn't Jiang Yan with you? Where are he?" Li Si asked puzzledly.
Xia Zheng shook his head. "Let's go first. He should--"
Probably won't come back.
***
As the sticky night covered the entire sky, the little snake outside the cave stared blankly at the empty front, with scattered moonlight falling through the gaps between the branches.
The little snake curled its tail, looking worried.
If I had known this, I would have gone with Mommy.
Wow, it won’t become a left-behind child, right? QAQ.
In the second half of the night, the little snake stayed in front of the cave, feeling the cold wind. Its little eyes opened and closed, and it almost fell asleep several times.
Suddenly, the little snake heard sporadic footsteps and woke up suddenly. A familiar figure appeared in its sight.
He saw his handsome daddy holding the sleeping beauty-like mommy, walking towards it majestically.
At that moment, he felt how perfectly matched Daddy and Mommy were, like a loving couple that had walked out of a painting. The pouring moonlight fell on them, outlining their inseparable silhouettes.
The little snake jumped up and shouted excitedly, "Daddy, Mommy!"
Meng Tang nodded, as a response to the little snake.
The little snake was just halfway through its joy when its daddy came closer with its mommy in his arms and passed by it, and it then realized something was wrong with its mommy.
Meng Tang took Jiang Yan and walked straight into the cave, and the moonlight behind them was soon abandoned by them.
…
The stuffy cave, continuous moans, and ambiguous emotions filled the air. Two overlapping figures were projected on the half wall illuminated by the faint candlelight.
Meng Tang didn't want to go so fast. He restrained himself and endured, but the warmth in his arms always lingered on him, like a drowning fish, constantly seeking and absorbing the water source that was so close.
Looking at those lips that were only a finger away, his throat choked up, and then he couldn't restrain himself anymore, he lowered his head and kissed her, he became addicted to the kiss and couldn't extricate himself.
His remaining sanity was quickly devoured, and his body in human form had become a decoration, with his beastly nature fully exposed.
This night seemed particularly long.
…
The next day, Jiang Yan woke up feeling sore all over.
He had not regained consciousness yet, and was completely dazed, like a bird just born in its nest, looking around with his clear, round eyes in confusion, at this new world.
But soon, Jiang Yan realized that he was not a bird.
"Wife, are you awake?"
The aroma of food wafted over, and Jiang Yan looked up blankly at the man walking towards her.
Meng Tang smiled and leaned over to him, placing the plate full of food in front of the young man.
This meal was rare and decent, so he got up early in the morning and immediately rushed to the kitchen to cook the fish soup with ginger and salt himself.
After all, we just finished and I need to nourish my wife.
When the snake king appeared in the kitchen, the other snake people were shocked and they all came to watch, watching the once high and mighty snake king cutting fish awkwardly.
At the beginning, the fish in the snake king's hands were always lively and jumping around. The snake king, who was cooking for the first time, found it a little difficult to conquer. He was in a panic and couldn't finish it after a long time.
The other snake brothers who came to watch immediately said, "Don't bother, Boss. We will make whatever you want to eat."
However, the snake king, who was determined to be a good husband, shook his head firmly and continued to mess with the fish in his hand.
When the little snake saw that the snake king's face was full of "I want to make breakfast for my wife, don't mess with me", he stopped forcing him. They looked at each other, and tacitly added another sentence "The most doting wife-loving man in the snake clan" to the snake king's always cold personality.
Finally, the frustrated snake king revealed his true nature. He stared at the fish on the chopping board coldly and said viciously: "It is your honor to feed my wife. If you mess up again, I will kill all your clans!"
The fish was so frightened that its eyes rolled back and it fainted immediately.
Meng Tang then returned to the cave with the delicious fish soup in his hands, satisfied.
When Meng Tang came back to his senses, his eyes lit up and he looked at Jiang Yan expectantly, as if he was waiting for praise.
Jiang Yan just glanced at the fish soup, and then was attracted by the pain in his body. He looked down at his body and his pupils suddenly dilated.
He didn't know who had stripped his clothes off, but that would have been fine. He opened his eyes wide and looked in disbelief at the red marks on his skin, crisscrossing each other as if he had been brutally ravaged all night.
Jiang Yan's eyes froze, and the memories of last night instantly reappeared in his mind like a tide.
His face instantly became hot. After a long while, he slowly looked away and looked at the man in front of him with a bit of shock.
The words in his throat came out with difficulty, "You...did it?"
Meng Tang was slightly startled. He looked at the fish soup, then at the marks on the young man's skin, and suddenly became a little confused.
Because he didn't know what the other party was asking.
After thinking it over, Meng Tang said, "...all of them?"
Jiang Yan: “……?”
"--you!!"
Jiang Yan was so angry that he couldn't even speak. He raised his fist and wanted to hit the man, but the man caught his soft fist easily. He leaned over and whispered in his ear with a worried and sticky voice:
"Be careful of the baby in your belly."
Jiang Yan: “…………?”
