Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 21
The paper figurine old lady is made of white paper for skin, bamboo strips for bones, facial features are painted in black ink into a smile, and bright red paint is pasted on both sides of the cheeks.

The rich blush and gray wrinkles are in stark contrast, and the pale skin is paired with blunt stick figures. No matter how you look at it, this paper-stitched thing has a permeating weirdness.

After being identified by me, the old paper figurine didn't want to continue pretending, and in a blink of an eye she had returned to her paper figurine appearance, and her ferocity was completely exposed.

She held up a pair of gray-haired sharp claws, and flew towards me from the slope a few steps away. I took a breath, stepped back a few steps with messy feet, and then turned around without thinking. Just run in the direction of the downhill behind you!

"Bai Tingyue! Stop!"

The old lady with the paper figurine was chasing after me. The things made of paper were light, and she ran fast. There was a noise of paper rubbing behind her, and she was getting closer and closer. , It's like a death curse in the darkness.

My heart was beating wildly, and I heard her keep calling my name from behind, and the sound of paper getting closer, and my steps were getting bigger and bigger, and I didn't dare to slow down for a moment.

The hand that touched the red rope before has not let go, but at this moment, the cold snake scale is held in the palm of my hand.

The thin and sharp edge almost cut through the skin and pierced into the flesh. I didn't care about the pain at all. I grabbed it and ran with all my strength, shouting: "Liu Wangzhi—! Where are you Liu Fangzhi——! Help! Liu Wangzhi——!"

When Liu Wangzhi gave me this snake scale, he said that he could use this thing to summon him in case of trouble.

I've never tried it, and I don't know if it's useful to shout like this, but right now it's my only life-saving straw in this deep, endless forest.

"Haha, you don't have to shout. Your Bai family is so stupid to offend him. Now he is afraid that it is something new and won't care about your life anymore." Chasing me, laughing wantonly behind me.

My heart sank suddenly, and then I remembered what my dad did to him before.

Not to mention Liu Wangzhi's temperament is dull, now that old debts and new enmities are piled up, I'm afraid that the thing tied up by this paper is right, and he won't have the leisure to meddle in my life and death again.

The surrounding wind does not move, the trees do not shake, and there is hardly any movement.

The only hope in my heart is gradually extinguished in this cold silence.

The forest is really too deep, and it's a downhill slope. I ran faster and faster, and I ran faster and faster. Suddenly, my foot fell into the air, and I couldn't control myself and fell out of the sky!
At the moment of weightlessness, my mind went blank, and my body, which was so tired that it was about to lose its strength, was a little numb. I knew that I couldn't escape this catastrophe, so I just closed my eyes and let myself fall like this.

At this moment, a long shadow fell from the sky, and then something cold and slippery wrapped around my waist, and I pulled it up with a little strength, and my body, which was about to fall, was immediately carried into the air rise up!

I was shocked, holding the things around my waist and looking up suddenly, I saw a big snake with clear scales coiled on the top of the tree, hanging down its slender tail indifferently, wrapping me around it flexibly pull!

I recognized this big black snake at a glance, my eyes lit up instantly, and I subconsciously reached out to it: "Liu Wangzhi!"

Suddenly, white smoke curled up, and the big snake turned into a slender and handsome figure in a blink of an eye. The man's strong arms opened towards me, and I fell into his embrace exuding the fragrance of grass and trees.

The excitement in my heart was intertwined with the surprise after being rescued from a desperate situation, and the fear and panic seemed not so important.

I couldn't say a word, I just hugged Liu Wangzhi's neck tightly, shrank my whole body in his arms, grasped his skirt with both hands, my back trembled uncontrollably.

Liu Wangzhi glanced at me with downcast eyes, put his palm on my back, patted it lightly, then turned his gaze, and looked down at the tree.

"Are you tired of working, even dare to move her?" His expression was cold, and his deep voice was as cold as a pot of cold wine.

The old paper figurine lady stood under the tree, tilted her weird smiling face, and said in a strange tone: "Mr. Snake, didn't you promise not to interfere with us? Are you going to break your promise?"

"I don't want to meddle in your affairs." Liu Wangzhi's eyes were full of oppression, "but it's not okay to touch her now."

I was stunned, and suddenly looked up from Liu Juzhi's arms to look at him, all the turbulent emotions disappeared in an instant.

"Then when will we wait?" The paper figurine lady was a little embarrassed, "After all, it was my master who saw her first..."

"Really, are you sure?" The tiny pieces of moonlight leaking from the treetops swayed across his face, illuminating the peach blossom pools flickering, and filled with frost.

The old paper figurine took a step back shyly, then suddenly lowered her head and fell silent.

Liu Wangzhi's hand rested on the back of my neck, his cool palm pressed against the skin, and the sight that met me showed no emotion: "Bai Tingyue followed me, if you want to touch her, at least wait until I get tired of it."

"As for now." He lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes slanted towards the bottom of the tree, his eyes were as sharp as cold blades, "I advise you not to think of her, lest you ask for trouble."

My eyes widened in disbelief, I couldn't believe what I heard, and suddenly felt that Liu Wangzhi at this moment was terribly strange.

Although I have always been aware of the nature of this snake before, and I also know that I am just a sacrifice for him to pay off the debt, and I even thought that if one day he can get tired of me, maybe he won't pester me anymore.

But this kind of thought was said without warmth, and it was hard to avoid being surprised.

However, this kind of surprise only existed for a moment, and then it was dispelled by the well-known mood. I knew my position, so I naturally chose not to dig into this dead end.

The old lady in paper clothes should be afraid of Liu Wangzhi. Seeing that he has said this, she dare not have any opinion, let alone have the courage to directly snatch someone from him.

No matter how unwilling she was, she bowed her body and compromised: "Well, I hope you will do what you say and won't make us wait too long."

As soon as the voice fell, a puff of smoke floated out from the old paper figurine's body, and then the paper thing fell to the ground with a "click" sound.

I stretched my neck to look at the paper figurine on the ground, and saw that the white paper on its body was all tattered, like a discarded waste product.

"Don't look, it's already gone." Liu Wangzhi said this sentence without emotion, and directly supported my hip with one hand, and hugged me.

The tree was too high, and when he stood up suddenly, I screamed reflexively in fright, and wrapped my arms around his neck again.

He glanced at me lightly, looked away, maintained the posture of holding a doll with one hand, and said indifferently: "Close your eyes."

I guessed that he was about to jump off the tree, but he didn't say a word, but he tightened the arms around his neck and closed his eyes obediently.

In the next second, the expected feeling of falling did not appear, but instead there was a lightness of suddenly floating upwards.

The cool wind blew past my ears, and the smell of leaves became clearer.

My hair was blown all over the sky by the wind, tangled with Liu Wangzhi's long hair, the fragrance of plants and trees from his hair lightly blew on my face, it was indescribably refreshing.

I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I secretly opened my eyes, and my vision suddenly became clear, with the vast and clear galaxy above my head, and the lush wild forest treetops under my feet.

Only then did I realize that I was flying in the sky by him, and I was walking against the wind towards the deeper part of the back mountain!

Liu Wangzhi remained indifferent, carried me all the way through the deep mountains and jungles, and crossed the rushing river. Just when I was wondering where he was going to take me, he flicked his clothes and slowly fell towards the ground.

"It's here." Liu Wangzhi's long body stood tall, and his black shirt with lin pattern was light.

I lifted my body from his shoulders, turned my head to look at the square stone hole behind me, with a confused expression on my face: "Where is this?"

Liu Wangzhi kept holding me with one hand, walked in with his long legs, and casually uttered a sentence from his thin lips: "Where I live."
