Chapter 024: The Evil Snake in the Mountain Village-24
Xia Zheng yelled at Jiang Yan a little out of control. Jiang Yan just held the little snake in his arms, soothed the little snake with his hands, and then raised his head slightly to look at the person in front of him, "There are patients here, you can go."
"ha."
Xia Zheng suddenly smiled, with a hint of self-mockery.
At this time, Meng Tang, who was lying on the bed and pretending to be injured, frowned imperceptibly and clenched his hands hidden in the quilt into fists.
What's wrong with that guy? He's still talking nonsense with my wife, in front of me.
Meng Tang really wanted to "sit up in shock from his dying illness" right now and punch the bastard in the room who had been harassing his wife.
To be honest, he is a little regretful now. If he had known earlier, he would not have pretended to be sick. His original plan was to get injured so that he could lie in Jiang Yan's bed as a matter of course, and then he could carefully cultivate their relationship.
Although this is a bit immoral, in order to win his wife, Meng Tang has no choice but to resort to such despicable means.
Meng Tang was lying on the bed, secretly watching the other two people in the room.
When he saw Xia Zheng getting very close to Jiang Yan, his heart tightened, fearing that the two of them would do something he couldn't accept.
But after listening carefully, Meng Tang discovered that the bastard was actually scolding his wife and calling him a monster.
What's the matter? Snake people can't survive these days.
He didn't rob, didn't set fire, and didn't attack anyone. It was obvious that he was a morally sound and good person.
Well, Meng Tang admitted that he did rob a person, a wife.
Suddenly, the door opened, and it seemed that someone walked out. Meng Tang quietly opened his eyes a little and took a look, and found that the bastard had finally left.
Finally, I calmed down.
The time for him and his wife to be alone finally came.
However, when he saw the little snake in Jiang Yan's arms, his excited brows frowned again.
The little snake nestled in its mother's arms and refused to come down, which made Jiang Yan a little overwhelmed. He even suspected that the little snake and Meng Tang were father and son, as they were both so clingy.
"Okay, come down quickly." Jiang Yan rubbed the little snake's head to comfort it. After watching the little snake reluctantly get off his body, he said, "Why are you here?"
The little snake slid to the floor, rubbed Jiang Yan's trouser leg with his head, and said coquettishly, "I miss mommy."
"I'm not used to you calling me like that." Jiang Yan said helplessly. The next second, the little snake raised its head with tears faintly flashing in its eyes.
"Forget it, whatever you want." Jiang Yan had no choice but to compromise. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Where's your dad? Is he... here too?"
Hearing his wife asking him this, Meng Tang on the bed would have twisted himself into a maggot if he wasn't pretending to be sick.
But he couldn't, he had to be reserved.
He has to take the initiative to wait for his wife to come and coax him.
In this way, Meng Tang waited with great anticipation for Jiang Yan to come and inquire about his injuries. Unexpectedly, he waited until it was dark and the man still hadn't come to the bedside.
Hey, what's going on? Something seems to be going wrong.
Meng Tang carefully opened his right eye a little, and was stunned to find that the room was empty and there was no wife.
Hmm? Where are they?
Just then, a fragrance floated up from downstairs. Meng Tang transformed himself into a small snake and slid down through the window to find out what was going on.
Smelling the aroma, Meng Tang slid all the way to the kitchen. Only then did he realize that Jiang Yan was cooking in the kitchen, and the little snake he picked up was eating green leaves on the chopping board with a relish on his face.
Meng Tang: “…”
"Hey, have you eaten enough?"
While Jiang Yan was away from the kitchen, Meng Tang slipped into the kitchen and patted the little snake with his tail, "What's wrong with you?"
The little snake swallowed the green leaf in his mouth and looked up at his father. "Dad, you can pretend to be dead, why can't I chew a leaf?"
Meng Tang used his tail to whip the little snake cub, causing it to cover its buttocks and howl in anger, saying, "I'm going to expose you to Mommy!"
"Now that you have a mother, you're really brave." Meng Tang snorted.
The little snake proudly straightened its body and said, "Of course not." Then he urged, "Daddy, hurry up and go. Mommy will be back soon."
Meng Tang looked at the little snake cub and narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, a great idea popped up in his head, "You are the one who should leave."
The little snake was startled, only to see that his father had shrunk even smaller, until his body was as small as his. Then he heard his father's voice, "Okay, go now. Only one of us can stay."
The little snake opened its eyes wide in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.
"Dad, it's fine if you pretend to be dead, but why are you pretending to be your son?!" the little snake yelled hysterically.
Mengtang:?
Why do I feel like I'm being scolded?
"Shut up." Meng Tang said expressionlessly, then used his tail to drag the little snake that didn't want to leave. He pulled hard and threw his cheap son out of the window just before Jiang Yan returned to the kitchen.
There was a trash can right under the window, and with a "clang", the little snake fell vertically into the basket.
Little snake: "..." I was picked up from the garbage dump. What a familiar smell.
In the kitchen, Meng Tang, disguised as a "son", returned to the chopping board. He continued to eat the leaves that the little snake had just eaten, but he vomited after taking a bite.
These green leaves are really hard to swallow.
But in order not to be exposed, Meng Tang still endured and continued to chew, but he was soon attracted by a piece of barbecue, and his eyes lit up instantly.
This is a favorite!
Meng Sheshe rushed to the plate of barbecue like a hungry wolf. He swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth and was about to bite it when a human claw grabbed his fragile neck.
The snake's instinctive reaction was to turn around and fight back.
However, when Meng Sheshe turned around, he found that the person holding him was Jiang Yan, so he softened again and rubbed Jiang Yan's fingers in a flattering manner.
Jiang Yan looked at his "son" and said, "You can't eat this."
Meng Sheshe lowered her head like her "son" and tried to act cute, but Jiang Yan softened his heart and paused before saying, "You can eat a little, but not now. I'll cut it for you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Sheshe was extremely happy. She excitedly hugged Jiang Yan's fingers and kissed them fiercely, and licked the young man's fingertips with her tongue.
Jiang Yan looked at the slippery saliva on his fingers and frowned slightly, as if trying to calm down his extremely complicated mood. Then he said, "You said in the room before that your father is here too. Where is he now?"
Um?
This kid actually betrayed me!
Meng Sheshe thought sinisterly, but when he looked up and met Jiang Yan's gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty. He quietly lowered his head and crawled in front of Jiang Yan like a conquered beast.
Jiang Yan continued to chop vegetables and asked as he did so: "Why aren't you talking?"
Meng Sheshe scratched her ears and cheeks, and finally pinched her throat and said weakly: "Mom...Mommy, do you like my dad more or the human upstairs more?"
Jiang Yan was slightly stunned, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Meng Sheshe said intermittently: "Well, my father knows that you have a little lover in the village who you can't forget, but he is too shy to ask, so he sent me here to ask."
"You know, we snakes like to be competitive, so which one do you like better, my dad or that human?"
Just as Meng Sheshe finished speaking, a little snake in the trash can outside the window poked its head out with hatred, and pressed its eyes wide open against the glass window to see what was going on inside.
It saw the scene directed and acted by its own father, and laughed coldly in its heart: Dad, you are too schizophrenic. We are obviously the same person, but you just know how to deceive Mommy.
As for Jiang Yan, after hearing Meng Sheshe's questioning, he felt a slight headache, and then said: "Meng Tang and I have nothing to do with each other, it's just that he is young and I take care of him."
Meng Sheshe's eyes brightened a little, "So, you still like male snakes like my dad who have eight-pack abs."
Looking at the snake on the chopping board, shaking its tail wildly, Jiang Yan sighed lightly, "I don't know."
“Oh~”
The main reason why Meng Sheshe had to ask this question was that the body of Xu Fusheng's son was just a parasite of his, and he couldn't own it for too long. And the eight-pack abs snake in the back mountain was his illusion.
So Meng Sheshe hopes that Jiang Yan can like his "original form" more.
After all, some stingy people will be jealous of their own.
"By the way, why does your voice sound a little strange?" Jiang Yan suddenly said. Although he usually looks frivolous, he is still very thoughtful.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he felt that the "son" snake in front of him was a little strange. The voice was not the natural soft and sticky one, but rather like a rough uncle speaking with a pinched throat.
Meng Sheshe sighed silently, it turned out that a father could not be a son.
But he had gotten the answer to the question he wanted, so he could call it a day.
So, under Jiang Yan's nose, Meng Sheshe pretended to be calm and crawled towards the window.
He came to the trash can where the little snake was, stretched out his snake's tail and fished out his cheap son. Then he performed a perfect teleportation, pulled the little snake into the window, threw it straight onto the chopping board, and then returned to the room upstairs along the wall.
The little snake was thrown back into the kitchen and hit its head on the chopping board. Before it felt dizzy, its father's message before he left was still ringing in its ears like a mosquito, "Don't expose me! Otherwise, I'll skin you alive!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan was puzzled by the little snake's behavior.
The little snake raised its head and walked crookedly on the chopping board. If Jiang Yan hadn't caught it in time, it would have almost fallen into the sink.
"Woo woo, mommy, you are still good to me."
The little snake hugged its mother's soft and sweet arms and bit them. It had retracted its fangs in advance, so Jiang Yan only felt a slight itch.
At this time, Jiang Ma's voice came from outside the kitchen, "Is it not done yet? Do you need me to come in and help?"
Jiang Yan hurriedly stuffed the little snake into a bunch of green leaves, then shouted to the door: "I'm almost done, mom, don't come in, I can handle it."
The little snake was very well behaved and obedient, nestling in the pile of green vegetables, and then chewing the leaves sweetly.
Really delicious.
After a while, Jiang Yan told the little snake before leaving the kitchen, "Hide well and don't come out."
The little snake nodded obediently, "Okay~"
Jiang Yan brought out the food and the whole family sat around a table, including Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, Jiang Yan, and the little girl Chen Zhi.
Jiang's father, Jiang's mother and Jiang Yan talked about Meng Tang. "I heard that you found him. How is he now?"
Jiang Yan Kuai Zi paused and said, "He is lying upstairs and hasn't woken up yet."
Father Jiang said earnestly: "He came to look for your injuries, so please take good care of him."
Jiang Yan hummed softly.
Seeing Meng Tang covered in wounds in the straw pile, Jiang Yan's heart began to tremble. He had never seen anyone so seriously injured, not even on the day when he fought with bandits in the back mountain.
He was very confused about what Mengtang had experienced.
"Then I'll go upstairs to see if he's awake."
So Jiang Yan packed a small portion of food and returned to the room.
I don't know when the window in the room was opened. Jiang Yan remembered that he closed the window when he left. Could he have remembered it wrong?
Jiang Yan didn't doubt it too much. He put the lunch box on the table, walked to Meng Tang, leaned down slightly and touched his forehead.
It’s so cold, like a dead person.
Jiang Yan's breathing stagnated and his body suddenly became a little unsteady. The moonlight coming in through the window illuminated his swaying shadow on the floor.
"Mengtang."
Although he knew that person would not answer, Jiang Yan still couldn't help but call out.
Meng Tang, who was lying on the bed, couldn't bear it any more, so he moved his fingers tentatively. Jiang Yan saw it and felt relieved.
Meng Tang still had his eyes closed, but in fact this body wouldn't last long.
Fragments of memories come to mind.
That was many days ago. A young man just returned to the village from the city. He was talented but suffered from a terminal illness. Before he was about to die, he missed his lonely grandfather in the village, so he forced himself to return to the village.
Then he heard that there was a mysterious evil snake in the back mountain, so he took a gamble, crossed the mountains and found the snake king, and then made an exchange with the snake king.
The young man said, "Please give me a few days. I want to spend some more time with my grandpa."
The snake king offered him this exchange condition: "I will give you one week, and after one week, the ownership of your body will be given to me."
The young man agreed.
So the snake king extended the young man's dying life a little so that he could return to the village to visit his grandfather.
His grandfather is Xu Fusheng, and the young man is Meng Tang, an outstanding college student that Xu Fusheng is proud of.
However, the young man did not recognize his grandfather. Instead, he spent a week silently helping his grandfather, only watching the old man inside the house silently at night.
It should have been a heartwarming scene, but other villagers who were walking at night saw the sneaky figures of the Xu family, and the rumor that the snake king had been released into the village was spreading at the time, causing the ghost stories in the village to become more and more serious.
A few days later, the young man's life came to an end, and the snake king took over the young man's body and became another "Mengtang".
That was his first time to appear in human form, and he happened to meet Jiang Yan who was bitten by a snake while catching fish by the stream.
It was love at first sight that marked the beginning of the story.
His thoughts returned to the room, Meng Tang closed his eyes tightly, his body was about to rot, and he had to return to the identity of a snake.
But at this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly grabbed his cold fingers, and said in a trembling voice: "You... are not Xu Fusheng's real grandson, right?"
