Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 20
"Help...help..." Mengyue panted heavily, with a pale and flustered face, her hands were tightly clutching me, her whole body was shaking non-stop.

I saw that she finally came to her senses, the boulder pressing down on her heart suddenly collapsed, and she let out a long sigh of relief, and slumped on the ground.

"Stop shouting, it's okay."

It was raining again, and I was stuck in a stalemate with that thing for most of the night. My whole body seemed to be drained of strength, my voice was dry and hoarse, and it was difficult to say a word.

Mengyue sat in the mud for a long time, her eyes were dazed and empty, and when she finally realized that the person sitting next to her was me, she suddenly let go of her hand and looked at me in surprise: "Bai Tingyue? You , why are you here?"

With my hands on the ground, it was inevitable that I would sink into the mud. My palms were a little cold, so I rubbed my clothes on my clothes, and raised my eyelids to look at her: "If it wasn't for me, you would probably die in the wild tonight." gone."

Mengyue's expression froze obviously, and her face turned even paler: "You saved me? Are you so kind?"

I expected her to be like this. After all, this younger sister never gave me any fantasies of sisterly love.

I sighed, looked at her and said, "Mengyue, even if you never wanted to recognize me as an older sister, since your mother once nursed me, I won't watch you die in front of me." before."

Yes, I almost forgot that my stepmother once treated me well.

But that was just the "once" before I knew I was a snake girl.

"Tch, that's because she doesn't know that you will bring a snake home one day." Mengyue snorted lightly, her tone full of sarcasm.

I rubbed the mud in my hands and looked at her expressionlessly: "But you also covet the appearance of that snake and keep sticking to him?"

"You...!" Mengyue stared angrily, grabbed the mud and wanted to hit me, probably remembered that I just saved her, and threw the mud away.

She got up from the ground two or three times, turned around and walked home without saying hello.

Seeing that the rain had subsided, the sound of insects and frogs gradually sounded again.I also got up from the ground, exhaled slowly, and followed her back.

Mengyue is a character who can't hold back her words. Early the next morning, she grabbed her parents and told them what happened last night.

The stepmother was terrified when she heard that, she hugged Mengyue and patted her back to suppress her shock, her heart ached so badly.

My dad was still angry yesterday. When he heard that Mengyue was almost killed by a wild monster, he turned his head and looked at me, and he was furious: "It's all you! I told you to go find Granny Mei yesterday. If you don't go, your sister will be revenged by the snake when she turns around, are you satisfied with the current situation?"

I caught a cold from the rain yesterday, and I didn’t sleep well, so I was groggy and didn’t have the energy to talk back to him, so I had to bluntly say: “It’s none of his business at all, that thing just saw that the snake was not there last night. Our family is now, so we specifically took the opportunity to start."

It was only after I heard what that thing said last night that I realized that Liu Juanzhi had been staying at my house, not just to collect debts, but seemed to be silently protecting us, so that things from the back mountain would not dare to come to the Bai family's door.

Fortunately, my dad directly forced him away, and the things in the back mountain were waiting for this situation, so when Liu Wang just left, he immediately couldn't help but make a move.

They missed this time, and they will definitely come again next time. I only learned a little bit from Granny Mei, and I am not sure that I can keep the Bai family.

What's more, it's not just the Bai family, without Liu Wangzhi, the tranquility of the village lasted for only a short period of time, and I'm afraid it will be broken again.

My dad saw that I was silent, but he was getting more and more energetic. I remembered an important thing, and suddenly raised my head and asked him: "Dad, when Mengyue was born, was there any life approval?"

As soon as our children are born, they will ask a fortune teller to give their fortunes to see what their fortunes will be in the future.

My father was stunned for a moment, but before he could make a sound, the stepmother hurriedly stood up and said to me: "Why are you asking this, what bad idea are you trying to come up with?"

"You misunderstood." I explained a little tiredly, "It was said last night that Mengyue was born with a female life, so I wanted to use her body to nourish her soul. If this is the case, I think it is necessary to take her to find a Go to Granny Mei."

First, I was revenged by the snake, and now even the mountain spirits and wild monsters are also targeting Mengyue. It seems that not only I am in the quagmire, but even Mengyue cannot escape this catastrophe.

Although I really don't want to bother Granny Mei and her elderly, but this is a matter of life, and the clues I got last night also need to be communicated to her, so I have to go this trip.

"How could this happen!" The stepmother was amazed, she turned around and pulled Mengyue's clothes, turning over her collar, and said anxiously, "Where is your amulet, Mengyue, huh? The talisman that mom wrapped for you, you get it?" Where did it go?"

"Oh, mom, don't look for it!" Mengyue pushed her mother away impatiently, frowning with annoyed expression, "That thing seems to have left at Li Heng's house, but I'm not sure. I found it missing last night. Immediately wanted to go to Li Heng's house to look for it, but who knew that just as soon as I went out, I ran into something evil..."

"You are confused! How did your mother tell you when you were young? Why are you so disobedient? Last time the accident happened because you forgot to bring that amulet. How dare you forget this time! Are you trying to piss me off... ..."

I heard the two of them chattering each other, and suddenly grasped a key thing, and asked with a frown: "What amulet?"

I only know that Mengyue has a small sachet hanging around her neck since she was a child, but I don't know what kind of amulet it is.

"Don't ask." My dad frowned and glanced at me, then pointed to the door, "Don't hold back, if you want to find Granny Mei, go quickly."

Things you haven't told me for so many years, I guess you won't tell me more if you break the casserole now.

I nodded and took Mengyue out to find Granny Mei.

After Granny Mei covered up the two red dots for me, she ended up in the village.No one knows where she came from or why she stayed.

Mengyue and I stood outside her house and knocked on the door. We even called her for a long time, but no one answered.

The neighbor next door was peeling garlic at the door. Seeing us waiting for a long time, he kindly said: "Don't knock, my mother-in-law is not at home, she probably went out of the village again."

The mother-in-law would go out of the village to do errands every once in a while, to show others what happened, or to choose wind and acupuncture points, and she would go for a few days.

Seeing that she was not here at the moment, I had no choice but to go home with Mengyue again, thinking that I would go to see her tomorrow, maybe she would come back.

I was not feeling well and went to bed early at night.

After the rain, the weather became sultry again, and the mosquitoes began to buzz and make noise.

I can't remember how many times I was woken up by mosquito bites, I fanned the air irritably, and suddenly I missed the days when Liu Wangzhi was by my side.

I don’t know if it’s because the snake’s aura is too cold or too strong. When he was around, my house didn’t even have a mosquito leg, so I could sleep very comfortably every night.

Thinking about it, I pulled the snake scale out of my neck and stared at it in a daze in the dark with the faint moonlight.

"Boom, boom, boom." Suddenly, someone knocked on my glass outside the window.

After these few incidents, I immediately became vigilant reflexively.

"Who?"

"It's me. Tingyue, come out, mother-in-law has something urgent to tell you, it's about those things on the back mountain."

It was indeed Granny Mei's voice, and she had indeed returned.

You came to see me so late, did mother-in-law find something important?
I kicked up my shoes, walked gently to the window, first lifted up a corner of the curtain and took a look out, and saw that the person standing in the yard was indeed Granny Mei, so I opened the door and went out to meet her in the yard.

"Mother-in-law, where have you been? I didn't find you when I went to your house today." I greeted her and said as I walked.

It was inconvenient for my mother-in-law to lean on a cane, so she stretched out a hand towards me from a distance, and said in a low voice: "The village is too quiet recently, I am not at ease, so I want to go to the back mountain to check the situation."

"Then what did you find?" I put my hand in her palm and noticed that her hand was cold, so I said with concern: "Grandma, your hands are so cold, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go into the room and tell me, I'll pour it for you." Cup of hot tea."

The mother-in-law stopped me and shook her head: "I won't go in. Tingyue, come with me, I found the lair of those things. It happened to be full moon tonight, and those things were very weak. Let's take advantage of the fact that they have no way to resist. , we went to collect them."

"What? Go now?"

I was a little caught off guard, I didn't prepare anything for this big night, so I just went, what if I fail and startle the snake?
"Don't be afraid, I've prepared everything and brought all the things. Tonight will be a success." The mother-in-law patted the bag she was carrying with her, her tone was very firm.

Seeing that she was serious, I was afraid that the opportunity would never be lost, so I nodded and bravely followed her to the back of the mountain.

My mother-in-law didn't talk to me on the way, and I was afraid that if I disturbed those things, the gain would outweigh the loss, so I simply kept quiet and followed her into the depths of the forest silently.

Ever since I met Liu Wangzhi in Houshan that night, I have never been to this place again.

There are lush trees and wild vines here all year round. The weeds on the roadside alone are half the height of a person.

Although it was a summer night, it was cold and damp in the woods, with only a little bit of moonlight leaking through the gaps in the treetops.

Seeing that I had walked a long way, and the surrounding area was also an area I had never been to, I was so nervous that I called out to my mother-in-law in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, how far is it?"

"Soon." Granny Mei replied, walking faster and faster.

This road is sloping upwards, obviously a slope. After climbing for a while, I started to get out of breath, but my mother-in-law still walked like flying, without breathing.

I began to feel that something was wrong. My mother-in-law is an old man in her [-]s. She usually walks with a cane. Why is she healthier than me now?
"Mother-in-law." I suddenly stopped and looked at the figure quietly, "Didn't you say that you brewed realgar wine for my family during the Dragon Boat Festival? It's been a month, and it hasn't been brewed yet?"

Granny Mei's back stopped, she turned her head and said with a smile: "Hurry up, I'll send it to your house tomorrow. Hurry up, don't waste the time."

No, my mother-in-law and I have never had realgar wine. The thing in front of me is not Granny Mei at all!

I didn't dare to disturb her, so I stood there without saying a word, and slowly touched the red thread on my neck with my hand.

Seeing that I was not moving, "Grandma Mei" came back anxiously and wanted to pull me away.

I slapped her outstretched hand away, and my fingertips brushed her clothes unintentionally. There was a "hiss", as if a piece of paper was torn!

When the thing saw that I had ruined her clothes, it immediately lowered its face, and said sharply in a man's voice that I had never heard before: "Okay! If you don't want to drink a toast, then I don't have to pay so much." What an effort!"

Saying that, the thing suddenly showed its sharp claws, and rushed towards me!
The mottled moon shadow swayed by, and I saw that Granny Mei in front of me had changed her appearance, and that thing was clearly an old lady made of paper!
