Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 2 Encountering a Snake
His heart was beating violently, and cold sweat quickly rolled down his back.

what happened……?
Isn't this thing kicked away by me, why did it come back by itself!

Distraught, I quickly walked over to grab the bead, opened the window without saying a word, threw it out again, then locked the window catch, checked several times to confirm that it was correct, and then left the room trembling.

The snake in the yard dispersed by itself not long after. My dad was a little bit jealous of me, but when something like this happened today, he didn't give me a good face all day long.

The stepmother never liked me, and kept fanning the flames in front of my dad during dinner.

"I didn't say that, Tingyue is already this old, so why not find someone else to marry her as soon as possible, so as not to cause strange things every day, and make us worry for nothing."

Bai Mengyue put down the soup bowl and glanced at me, then agreed casually: "That's true, anyway, my sister doesn't plan to continue her studies, and she will have a home after she gets married, so she won't stay at home every day and hinder other people's eyes."

My dad took a sip of liquor, looked at the table with a dark face and said nothing.

My mind is full of those strange snake language, and I still have to sit here and listen to the running of their wives, and have a good meal, which is tasteless.

When I went back to my room to rest at night, I was still thinking about the snake beads. As soon as I opened the door and went in, I saw Bai Mengyue sitting at my table playing with something.

I glanced at her hand, and my face suddenly changed—it was nothing but the red snake bead that went back and forth, and was incomparably red.

"Mengyue, throw away the beads." I turned pale with fright, and walked to her side in two or three steps, eager to snatch the thing from her hand.

Bai Mengyue flexibly turned her hands away, turned to look at me and sneered: "Bai Tingyue, where did you get such beautiful beads?"

I didn't want her to know that it was something from a snake, so I had no choice but to hide it from her: "It's not mine. Be obedient and throw it away."

"It's not yours?" Upon hearing that, Bai Mengyue put the beads into her pocket, stood up and looked at me, "Since it's not your sister's, then if I pick it up, it will belong to me, why should I throw it away?"

I saw that she really planned to keep that thing, so I felt anxious, and quickly reached out to stop her, with a very serious tone: "You can't keep it, something will happen."

"Who are you scaring?" Mengyue obviously didn't believe it, she pushed my hand away, and stared at me with a pair of apricot eyes, "Bai Tingyue, I warn you, if you continue to talk nonsense and curse people, I will tell Dad right away."

After talking about it, Bai Mengyue ignored me and went to sleep with the beads in her pocket.

For several days, I tried to persuade her to throw the bead away.But Mengyue has been like this since she was a child, the more I care about something, the more she wants to occupy it and not let it go.

I always had a premonition that sooner or later that bead would cause trouble, and there was nothing I could do about it, so I decided to tell my dad the truth about the snake bead.

Unexpectedly, I haven't found a chance to speak up yet. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, someone suddenly came to my house and said that something happened to Bai Mengyue in the back mountain!

When I found her with my father and stepmother, I saw Mengyue rolling with the male classmates in my class. Their eyes were dull, their mouths were already foaming, and they were still going on like no one else. .

A kind person covered the two of them with clothes. Seeing that our whole family was here, they hurriedly dragged my dad over.

My dad blushed with anger on the spot, and he couldn't help saying that he wanted to pull them away, but even if he beat and scolded and tried all kinds of methods, he couldn't stop the two people who were entangled at all.

An old man couldn't stand it any longer, so he walked up to my dad and said to him, "Don't touch them anymore, these two dolls have collided with something in the mountain, and they have become obsessed. You, hurry up and prepare something to go to the cave entrance on the mountain to sacrifice. Please, please let that thing let them go."

There are so many snakes on the back mountain, and they like to gather outside the cave during the Dragon Boat Festival.

My dad thought of something, turned around and asked me to go to Granny Mei for help. I nodded and started to leave, but someone said that Granny Mei was not at home, and I was afraid she had gone out of the village again.

Now my father had no choice, so he asked someone to help carry the two children home, then packed up some incense and candle offerings, and hurried to the depths of the back mountain alone.

Bai Mengyue and the boy were laid flat in the room.

Seeing Mengyue's appearance, I knew in my heart that it must have something to do with the bead. After much deliberation, I told my stepmother about the snake bead, including the phrase "When the wedding comes, ten thousand snakes will carry the sedan chair".

The stepmother got up from the ground, raised her hand and slapped me across the face, scolded me for being a witch that the snake favored, and strangled my neck to make Bai Mengyue pay for my life.

At this time my dad came back, and she cried and complained to my dad again, saying that I seduced the things on the mountain, so Mengyue was made to suffer for me.

My dad had a bad complexion when he entered the door. After hearing about the snake beads, he rubbed his face with his hands and repeated out of control: "It's a crime, it's a crime!"

I vaguely expected something, swallowed, walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Dad, haven't you already gone to burn incense, what happened?"

My dad slowly put down his hand, with helplessness and despair in his exhausted and bloodshot eyes: "Oh... the things on the mountain refused to be eaten by me to enshrine, and he specified that our Bai family would send a woman there. It spared my life back then. I'm afraid it's time to repay the debt I owe..."

My heart skipped a beat, and I clenched my sweaty palms tightly: "Dad, what do you mean...?"

My dad raised his head, sighed a long time, and looked at me with complicated eyes: "Tingyue, Dad has no choice. Since this matter has something to do with snake beads, it was you that snake fell in love with back then." ..." He paused for a moment and looked away, "You have also seen it with your own eyes, Mengyue can't last long in this state. In order to save her life, I beg you... just this time. ,OK?"

It was rare for my father to talk to me in a pleasant manner, but he begged me humbly for my sister.

My trembling hands clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, and after a long while, I let out a heavy breath and nodded numbly: "Okay, I'll go."

In this way, I was taken up the mountain by my dad.

Along the way, my dad kept apologizing to me, telling me not to hold grudges against him.I stayed quiet the whole time, and didn't even shed a single tear.

Since I was a child, I knew that I was a snake girl, a girl who was missed by snakes. Even if I tried my best to cover it up, this day would still come sooner or later.

Since you can't avoid it, why bother crying and shouting to make everyone aware of it? It's better to be quiet and save the last bit of decency for yourself.

The surrounding night was quiet and the surrounding fields were pitch black. I knelt in front of the cave and closed my eyes tightly. The incense candle offerings were burning beside me, and the faint fire was flickering in the dark night.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind in the wild forest rustled the leaves.

There was a cold smell in the air, followed by rustling sounds from the grass in the distance, accompanied by countless hissing snakes, slowly approaching my direction.

"Snake Pearl hired Jiao, and the daughter of the Bai family laughed. The wedding is here, and Wan Snake carries the sedan chair."

Hearing the sound of the snake singing from far to near, my heart trembled, and I opened my eyes suddenly!Immediately, I saw countless snakes in the distance supporting a scarlet and weird sedan chair, slowly coming towards me from the thick fog that was blurred by the night!

The top of the bloody sedan chair was covered with snakes, and two dark green lanterns swayed gently in the mist.

The chill quickly climbed up my spine from the vertebrae, and the blood in my body seemed to be frozen. I knelt on the ground and shivered, and my whole body fell into a cold winter icehouse on the night of June and early summer.

"Don't...don't come here, don't come here!"

Seeing the blood-colored sedan chair getting closer and closer to me, I flinched and kept retreating, but behind me was the stone wall outside the cave, and there was nowhere to escape!
Suddenly, a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine rubbed against the tip of the grass, and the snakes suddenly stopped in place as if they were approaching an enemy. Together with those chaotic neighing, they also stopped at this moment with Xia.

As the scent became clearer, the group of snakes suddenly began to retreat for some reason, and they disappeared without a trace in the forest together with the strange scarlet sedan chair.

After a while, the clouds in the forest cleared and the fog dispersed, and the moonlight melted like water.

A big snake covered in black scales and glowing with clear light swam from the depths of the forest through the mist, and transformed under the opposite flower tree, turning into a man in a black shirt with hair like splashed ink and light clothes.

Seeing the big snake transformed into a human with my own eyes, the shock overwhelmed all my senses. I instantly forgot what it means to be afraid, and just froze in place, my mind went blank.

The man's tall and slender figure stood tall on the sparsely shaded grassy field, and the thin moonlight leaked from the gaps in the treetops, just illuminating his eyebrows and eyes.

They were a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly raised at the tips, which should be the most affectionate eyes in the world, but they held a light and distant expression like a cold moon.A bright red tear mole in the bottom of the eye fell on the cold white jade skin, like a drop of heart blood from the cuckoo crying every night in the cold spring of March.

It was this bit of heart and blood that made that overly handsome and dusty face a three-point glamorous color, which matched the shattered light of fireflies in his eyes, as if rippling with boundless wind and moon.

I knelt and sat on the ground dumbly, almost lost my soul just looking at it like this.

The man raised his gaze and looked over, and frowned when he saw me, and then his voice, like wine, rang out under the moonlight: "It's you...?"

The figure in front of me flickered, and I was suddenly hugged into a cool and fragrant embrace.

The man's bony fingers pinched my chin, his thick eyelashes drooped slightly, and his fingertips rubbed against my lips for a moment, then he suddenly leaned over without saying a word, and pressed me against the more dewy and slightly damp groin on the grass……
