Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 24
Mengyue paused with her fingers rubbing the sachet, raised her eyes from the ground, and looked at me calmly: "I don't know, that evil bead has long since disappeared. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Will you still want to ask me to take it back?"

I also expected that she might not be able to figure out the whereabouts of the snake beads. Seeing her staring at me suspiciously, I quickly waved my hand: "It's nothing, I just remembered it suddenly, and I just asked you by the way."

Now that there are so many snakes suddenly coming to the village, it will definitely make people panic.

It was also on the way that I met the flower snake who came to Bai's house to hire me, so I thought of asking about the whereabouts of the snake beads.

Anyway, things are already like this, and the snake beads have lost their original meaning, but if this thing is picked up by other people, there may be unexpected problems.

There are so many difficult things, and now that Granny Mei is not in the village, I feel like I'm cluttered with a mess of thread, and I don't know where to start to take care of it.

I was planning to talk to my dad first, but Mengyue stopped me suddenly,

"Wait." She walked around from behind me, sniffed my hair, and said in a low voice, "Did you go to see Liu Wangzhi last night?"

"What?" I shrank back uncomfortably, and subconsciously stroked my hair.

I thought to myself that I went out in the middle of the night, and when I came back at noon, no one asked me where I was. How could she suddenly pay attention to this now?
Mengyue glanced at me, folded her arms and curled her lips: "Your hair has the fragrance of his body."

I was slightly startled, my eyes swept sideways unnaturally, I turned my head and sniffed the tip of my hair quietly, and as expected, I smelled a faint fragrance of grass and trees, and my heart suddenly became clear.

Seeing Mengyue staring straight at me, I clenched my fist with one hand and coughed, then looked left and right to confirm that my dad was not nearby, then nodded hesitantly: "Well, we met. Don't tell dad."

Obviously spent a night of horror in the back mountain, being watched by her like this, why does it feel like she has gone out to do bad things...

"Where is he now, and how is he?"

I thought Mengyue would scold me in a strange way, but I didn't expect that she was just caring about Liu Wangzhi?

I was very surprised, knowing that this girl might not have given up on Liu Huanzhi yet, so I was emotionally complicated at the moment. I stared at her for a while, and sighed helplessly: "He's fine." Then the topic changed, "But Mengyue, you You're already engaged, you should put more attention on Li Heng, understand?"

"Understand what?" Mengyue took a step forward with a cold face, her gaze seemed to pierce me through, "Bai Tingyue, I was the one who held the snake bead back then. I."

"I don't care what he is, but the person next to him should not be you, do you understand?"

She is very close to me, her face is almost close to her face, her voice is not loud, but she can hear the dissatisfaction inside quite clearly.

I frowned, and met her eyes without hesitation, "But the fact is that I got entangled with Liu Wangzhi to save you. You don't understand how many complicated things it contains, and you already have it." Li Heng, now that he has a normal life, there is no need to lose everything he owns just for a good-looking skin."

"Mengyue." I stared deeply into her eyes, and there was some meaning in my words, "Daytime is not suitable for dreaming, you'd better think about it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left the living room, leaving her alone, venting his anger on the potted plants on the table.

Mengyue's obsession with and attachment to Liu Wangzhi has already exceeded my expectations. I don't know whether to admire Liu Wangzhi's ability to fascinate people without making a show, or to blame mortals for having a A dusty heart full of worldly desires.

I scratched my hair irritably, and when I walked to the backyard, I happened to see my dad's back by the wall.

He was holding a bamboo pole in his hand, and was sweeping back and forth against the wall. All the snakes, large and small, coiled on the top of the wall, were all pushed out of the wall by him.

"Dad." I walked towards him and called out to him by the way.

He turned around, supported the ground with a bamboo pole, and wiped his sweat with his hand: "Grandma Mei hasn't been found yet? Look at the snakes everywhere in the village. If she doesn't come back, that black snake may destroy our village."

I wasn't in the mood to listen to his nonsense, and I didn't bother to explain to him, so I just followed Liu Wangzhi's example and avoided the most important topics: "Dad, if there is a way to prevent the snake from taking revenge on the Bai family, and help the village solve the troubles, would you like me?" Don't want to do it?"

My dad looked at me suspiciously: "What way?"

I first told my father about Hua Snake's warning, then analyzed the possible situation in the village and the risk of Granny Mei's absence, and finally told him Liu Wangzhi's request tactfully.

Sure enough, as I expected, my dad immediately pulled his face down after hearing this, picked up the bamboo pole and hit me on the arm, cursing angrily: "That snake has become a spirit, you dare to believe what he said! If you want me to beg him, it's just a dream!"

I covered my reddened arm, pursed my lips and looked at my dad. Seeing his brows and eyes raised in anger, I knew he would not be able to accept it so soon.

Forget it, with his temper, this matter has to be persuaded slowly, if you push him too hard at once, you will easily collapse.

I didn't talk back to him, turned around and went back to my room, found a bottle of safflower oil from the drawer, and used a cotton swab to wipe the wound on my body.

The quiet space is suitable for thoughts to run wild. I sniffed the smell of the potion and suddenly thought of the old man in the village who suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

The old man was getting old, and his body smelled of plaster and traumatic wine all the year round.But when I think of him, what pops up in my mind are those weird words he said before.

But whether it was what he said at Lao Wangtou's house or what he said to me when he met me on the road, it sounded like nonsense, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not groundless.

I always have a premonition that this old man may really know something, and the strange words he said must hide the truth about things related to Shehuo and Houshan.

I threw away the cotton swab in my hand, got up and walked outside.

Without further ado, we must visit the eccentric old man.

It is said that if you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. Since you have something to ask for, you can't go there empty-handed.When I went out, I carried a basket of eggs, asked the neighbors in the village where the old man lived, and found him directly outside his house.

"Dong dong dong", raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, and quickly sorted out the words to ask in his mind by the way.

After a while, the door opened, and an old lady with white hair walked out holding the door, looked at me a few times with dim and cloudy eyes, and showed a surprised expression: "It's you, what are you doing at my house?" ?”

I have seen the old lady in front of me before, she is the old man's wife.

Although they are from the same village, I am not familiar with them after all. I smiled politely and said to the old man: "Hello, I am sorry to interrupt you suddenly, but I have some important things to ask the old man. I don't know if it is convenient for you. Have I seen him?"

The old lady glanced at the egg in my hand, then raised her head to stare at me for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "Go back, I won't see him today."

"Ah?" I blinked, a little puzzled, "Did the uncle go out for a walk again, when will he be back?"

"I can't come back." The old lady's hand holding the door frame trembled, and her old eyes were slowly soaked with tears. "He is dead."

A light and fluffy sentence fell on the ear, but it was like a thunderbolt.

"How come?" I couldn't laugh anymore, I grabbed the half-closed door suddenly, "Master is gone? When did it happen?"

Recently, the village has not heard the news of anyone's funeral. How can this old man be gone?

"Just the night before yesterday." The old lady couldn't help sobbing. "A lot of snakes came to the house the night before. I was worried about my old man, so I went to the yard and called him into the house. Who knows that it was too late when I passed, just look at the snakes." A flower snake came out of his mouth, and my old man has lost his breath..."

Flower snake...it must be the flower snake that warned me!

It must know what secret the old man holds in his hands, so it set the third target on him!

My face turned pale, and looking at the sobbing old man in front of me, I felt that my heart was crushed by a stone and fell to the bottom of the sea, so heavy that I couldn't breathe.

I put the egg on the ground, and went to support her with trembling hands, with a choked voice uncontrollably: "Grandma... I'm sorry about the uncle, but for the safety of other people in the village, I want you to tell me... ...Tell me what the uncle knows, that's why he was killed by those snakes, if you also know the situation, please..."

"No! No! I don't know anything!" The old lady suddenly threw away my hand, her face full of panic, "Don't ask me, you go, you go now! Get out of my house!"

She pushed me out of the door indiscriminately, trying to close the door with trembling old hands.

"Grandma!" I grabbed the crack of the door and yelled anxiously, "This matter is no small matter, it will cause disaster for the whole village! Grandma, what do you know, can you please tell me?"

"Don't ask me! This will kill me, it will kill me!"

When I heard this sentence, my brain froze, and my hands lost all strength.

The old lady took the opportunity to pull my hand away, and with a bang, she closed the door to keep the secret.
