Chapter 004: Mountain Village Evil Snake-4
The next day, the sky suddenly brightened and dense sunlight poured into the house.
Jiang Yan woke up feeling dizzy and nauseous. He had a nightmare that he was being possessed by a ghost.
He opened his eyes with rapid breathing, the bright roof piercing his eyeballs. He slowly moved his eyes, and his sight finally stopped on a head in front of his chest.
!!!
His pupils suddenly dilated and he shook his body violently, which was still hidden in the quilt. After he shook the head like this, the owner of the head woke up.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Meng Tang was awakened by Jiang Yan. He looked at Jiang Yan in a daze and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
The postures of the two were a bit strange. Meng Tang was lying on Jiang Yan. At first glance, they looked like a pair of inseparable conjoined twins.
Jiang Yan realized something and quickly pushed the person away with a cold face.
With a "thump", Meng Tang fell to the ground.
"It hurts, brother."
Meng Tang rubbed his head and sat up pitifully, like a puppy about to be abandoned by his owner. At this moment, he was sitting on the floor beside the bed, looking around helplessly.
Jiang Yan said expressionlessly: "Brother, it doesn't hurt."
Meng Tang let out a "woop".
Jiang Yan didn't buy his tricks and said coldly: "I let you sleep in my bed, so just sleep well and don't make any moves!"
Meng Tang tilted his head and explained in a nonchalant manner: "I was just sleepwalking."
Jiang Yan didn't speak.
Meng Tang muttered, "I think your bed is not as good as yours..."
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, "What did you say?"
Meng Tang said to his little finger, "My butt hurts."
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "You deserve it."
My brother is so heartless.
Meng Tang thought about it, but his expression did not show any sign of grievance. Instead, he was trying to hold back a laugh.
After all, he "slept" with his brother again last night, so he was already very satisfied.
"Are you all up?"
There was a knock on the door. Jiang Yan lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but when he stepped forward, he found that his pants were missing.
At this time, his lower body was only covered with a pair of shorts.
"Where are my pants?" Jiang Yan said subconsciously.
Meng Tang continued: "Brother, don't you remember? Last night you said it was too hot, so you took it off."
Is this true?
Jiang Yan does have the habit of sleeping naked, but Meng Tang was there last night, so he chose not to take it off.
Could it be that he was sleeping so soundly that he forgot there were other people in the house and took it off out of habit?
At this time, Jiang Yan wondered if he had sleepwalked last night.
Seeing the handsome young man's confused look, Meng Tang kindly comforted him: "We are all men, it's nothing, I often sleep naked too."
Jiang Yan looked at Meng Tang who was talking. He was dressed neatly, and even his collar was not wrinkled.
Did this person sleep last night?
A strange idea came to Jiang Yan's mind.
But the idea was quickly dispelled, after all, they had just woken up in each other's arms in the morning.
"But you didn't take it off last night."
Meng Tang blinked, "Then should I take it off now for my brother to see?"
The air suddenly fell silent. When the knock on the door sounded again, Jiang Yan spoke, "You go out first."
Meng Tang stood up from the floor and walked a few steps toward the door before he turned around and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
"..." Jiang Yan's face turned red, and he almost yelled, "Can you let me put on some pants?"
Meng Tang's gaze lingered on the slender white legs of Jiang Yan exposed outside the quilt, and then he responded, "Then brother, hurry up."
“Click—”
The door was opened and then closed again.
Jiang Yan pondered on the bed for a long time, and then he came to the conclusion:
This person named Mengtang may be sick.
***
After leaving the room, Meng Tang and Jiang Ma met eyes.
Seeing someone opening and closing the door, Jiang Ma asked in confusion, "Where's Xiaoyan? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"
Meng Tang said calmly: "He is putting on his pants."
Mother Jiang thought of her son's sleeping habits and frowned, "This child." After sighing, she said to Meng Tang in a friendly manner, "Xiao Tang, did you sleep well last night?"
Meng Tang knew that the other party wanted to ask whether Jiang Yan's sleeping habits disturbed him. He smiled and said, "Very good. I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time."
Mother Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Afterwards, Jiang Ma said, "Come down for breakfast later." Meng Tang responded, watched her disappear at the stairs, and turned back to look at the closed door.
After a few minutes, the door opened.
Jiang Yan was surprised to see Meng Tang still at the door, and subconsciously asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
Meng Tang smiled brightly, "Yes, come and wait for brother to have dinner together."
"..." Jiang Yan didn't say anything, didn't even look at him, and walked straight downstairs.
The stairs in Chen Xiu's house creaked, one sound followed by another.
Meng Tang also followed.
Just when breakfast was halfway through, there was a burst of knocks on the Jiang family's door. The sound was even louder than during the Chinese New Year.
Mother Jiang liked quietness, so she frowned immediately.
When Father Jiang saw this, he stood up from the wooden bench with a "whoosh", walked to the door in three or two steps and opened it. What came into his sight was a middle-aged woman, who was sweating profusely, with half of the scorching sun behind her.
"How--"
As soon as Mr. Jiang asked a question, the other party grabbed his arm breathlessly and said hurriedly, "Save, save my son."
"What happened to your son?"
The woman stared at Father Jiang. Her eyes were red, maybe from sweat or something else. Her voice was trembling. “My son got bit by a snake! I called him for a long time in the yard but there was no response. He wouldn’t…”
Dead?!
Jiang Yan helped her finish the words in her heart.
Father Jiang did not pull out his arm, but asked: "Have you gone to find Xu Fusheng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman stared at him with wide eyes.
Father Jiang was stunned until Xu Fusheng came over behind him. Then he remembered that Xu Fusheng had stayed with him all night.
The other party probably looked for Xu Fusheng but couldn't find him, so he tracked his way to his house.
Father Jiang made room for Xu Fusheng. The old man came up, his hair instantly dyed yellow by the sun. He said kindly, "Don't panic, take me to see it."
When Xu Fusheng left, he called Meng Tang with him, but when Meng Tang followed him, he was stopped by Jiang Yan.
Meng Tang was a little surprised. He looked at Jiang Yan standing at the door and raised his eyebrows. Then he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother, you can't bear to leave me? Don't worry, I will be back soon."
Jiang Yan's face was dark, and he stared at him with his eyes open, imitating the expression of the woman just now, but one was confused, and the other was resentful.
How could he be reluctant? He just wanted to get out.
There is no doubt that according to his mother's temper, Jiang Yan will be locked in the house again.
So now, he had to seize any opportunity to get out.
Sure enough, Jiang Ma saw Jiang Yan standing at the door and asked, "Xiao Yan, why are you following?"
Jiang Yan said without turning his head: "Meng Tang said he had some interesting things at home and wanted to show them to me. I was curious and wanted to go and take a look."
Meng Tang laughed a little when he heard this.
He hasn't even touched his own door once, so how could he get something so interesting?
Of course, Meng Tang guessed that the other party was just making an excuse, so he started whispering again, "If you want me to help you, there are conditions."
A bird in a cage doesn't have so many thoughts. Jiang Yan just wanted to get out, so he replied "Okay, okay".
Meng Tang was happy and said to Jiang Yan's parents behind him: "Don't worry, uncle and aunt, I will take care of Jiang Yan."
Mother Jiang liked Meng Tang very much. In addition, he was indeed "excellent in both character and academic performance" and much more reassuring than others. She had already included him in the list of people she could entrust her children to.
"Okay then." Jiang Ma said, and then she reminded Jiang Yan who was already walking out, "You should be obedient and learn something good from others. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Yan continued to perfunctorily respond, and after a few steps he stepped directly into the sunshine outside.
free!
Jiang Yan ran outside and felt the air in his mouth was fresh and sweet, and a relaxed smile broke out on his handsome face.
Xu Fusheng and the woman had long disappeared, and only two figures were swaying in the mountains.
Meng Tang looked at the beautiful silhouette in his field of vision, a smile appeared on his lips. When the person ran towards him inadvertently, he opened his mouth and said, "You asked me to take you home before, but now you want to run away. It's not good to be too greedy."
Jiang Yan ignored him and wanted to run past him. He wanted to go find other friends to play with. It always felt eerie to be with this guy named Meng Tang.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally stepped on a piece of loose soil, his foot slipped, and his whole body twisted to one side. Although there was mud all around, it didn't hurt, but it was dirty.
"careful."
Meng Tang was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he caught the man first. He could obviously catch him, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, he also threw Jiang Yan into the field along with him.
"hiss."
Meng Tang's back hit the earth and the ginger salt fell on his chest.
"Why didn't you catch me?"
Jiang Yan muttered.
Meng Tang was angry and amused, "Brother, you are too heartless. I was the one who got hurt, why are you blaming me?"
Jiang Yan pursed his lips and prepared to climb up from him, but just as he stood up, he saw a snake slithering over not far away. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell onto Meng Tang again.
"Hiss, this is the second time, brother."
Jiang Yan buried his head in Meng Tang's chest. He didn't move at all and didn't dare to look up. He seemed to firmly believe in the idea that "if I can't see it, it can't see me."
After a long while, Meng Tang finally heard the person in his arms utter a trembling voice, "There's a snake!"
Meng Tang looked at the little green snake beside his arm. It must have hatched not long ago. It was still quite small and could only crawl and stick out its tongue. It didn't know how to bite people yet.
"Why don't you speak?"
Jiang Yan still maintained his cowardly attitude, but his voice became a little anxious.
Meng Tang then answered slowly, saying only three words, "I saw it."
Jiang Yan was startled, "Then why are you still so calm? Is it gone?"
Meng Tang admired Jiang Yan's slender white neck from a close distance, and couldn't help imagining that it felt like he could eat it in one bite.
I can't wait to see him crying and begging for mercy.
Meng Tang's eyebrows moved slightly, and when the person in his arms was about to get angry because he hadn't received a reply for a long time, he said soothingly: "He's gone."
By the time the handsome and fragile young man raised his head and looked around, Meng Tang had already put the little snake into his pocket.
My brother’s birthday is coming soon, so let’s save up for a gift for him.
