Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 27
The catastrophe came so quickly that it was almost unprepared.

Now that the Bai family has also fallen into it, it shows that it is a dead end if you want to put aside others and protect yourself wisely.

I have no way to control the development of the matter, nor can I save the stepmother who was chosen as the snake chrysalis. Now I have nowhere to go, and the only way I can think of is——

Please come down from the mountain, the snake king who lives in seclusion to help us tide over this crisis.

Now that Granny Mei's whereabouts are unknown, she may not be able to count on her, but with Liu Wangzhi's help, maybe those locked up in the barren house at the end of the village can be saved, and even the whole village can be saved from the end of extinction.

But he is a demon after all, and he is of the same kind as the things on the back mountain. From a standpoint, he has no reason to be willing to take the initiative or stand by us for no reason.

And I haven't seen him come to Bai's house to look for me for so many days. Obviously, he is still waiting for the agreement he made with me at the beginning, waiting for my dad to take the initiative to compromise with him.

It's just that the situation is urgent now, and I couldn't wait any longer, so I held the idea of ​​using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, pulled the red rope to pull out the snake's scales, then closed my eyes reverently, and called his name over and over again.

There is no wind in the fields, and the sun is yellow.

This time the snake scales seemed to have failed, no matter how I called, there was no response.

Alas... It seems that the snake is determined to ask my dad to beg him, and there is no other choice.

The crying in my ears stopped suddenly, and I opened my eyes to see that Mengyue had already passed out from crying.My dad and I took her back to the house and covered her with a quilt, and the father and daughter walked back to the living room slowly.

As the sky darkened, the noisy Xia Chan stopped calling, and the house was eerily quiet.

I sat on the sofa numbly, looked down at the half cup of tea that my stepmother hadn't finished drinking on the coffee table, and said to my father in a muffled voice: "You called the old village chief, something happened to your stepmother, you Send her away like this?"

My dad kept supporting his head in silence, buried his face in his palms, and when he heard me speak, he rubbed his face with his rough palms, and his voice was hoarse and tired: "I really can't help it, she is just like you. Go out to the vegetable garden to dig some vegetables, and when you come back, you will be bitten by those snakes outside the door, and I can't save her."

"Besides, if this keeps her at home, what should I do if I hurt you and Mengyue?"

"But you obviously have a way!" My chest heaved slightly, and I looked at him with red eyes, "Bai Hansheng, that is the woman who gave birth to you and stayed with you for more than ten years. Think about it, don't you even care about her?"

My dad lowered his head, holding the back of his head with his hands, his shoulders kept shaking with the ups and downs of emotions, revealing the torment and struggle in his heart.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly raised his head to look at me, with piercing heartache in his eyes, and said resolutely: "If you insist on asking the snake for the solution, then I... can't control it."

I stared at my dad motionlessly with reddened eyes, as if something had collapsed in my heart, like a tall building toppled, completely cracked.

The sore nose brought a feeling of suffocation. I stood up abruptly, and my dad stopped me as soon as I took a step.

"Where do you want to go?" He followed me to stand up and whispered, "Sit down for me. Only by staying honestly at Bai's house can we escape this disaster."

I raised my hand to wipe away my tears, turned my back to him, and sneered softly: "Don't worry, those things won't hurt me. I will take care of Mengyue, and you, forgive me, and I won't be able to control you in the future either."

Even if the house of the Bai family can protect us from harm, there will always be a day when we have to go out.

What to do when the time comes, he may never have thought about it.

Suddenly free, despair and helplessness filled my heart, I let out a long sigh of relief, and pushed open the door of Mengyue's room.

Mengyue has already woken up, she hugged her knees and huddled in the corner, she didn't seem to be crying or fussing, but when she got closer, she saw Dou Da's tears falling from her red eyes one by one .

"Do you want some water?" I couldn't comfort anyone, so I could only sit by her bed and try to chat with her.

Mengyue shook her head, her nose fluttered, trying her best to restrain the urge to cry.

I turned on the desk lamp and turned to look at her: "Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Her eyelashes trembled, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at me, and said with a sob: "Bai Tingyue, help me save my mother."

Sure enough, with her temperament, it was impossible to just leave her mother alone.

But I had no choice but to do nothing. I slowly curled up my fingers on the hand propped on the edge of the bed, lowered my head, and staggered her gaze: "Mengyue, I really want to help you, and I want to help everyone in the village. But Mengyue, the truth is I can't help anyone."

"Impossible, you have Liu Wangzhi." Mengyue rushed over and grabbed my arm tightly, "Go and ask him to help us!"

I looked at her for a long time, pursed my lips and shook my head: "Have you forgotten, he is also a snake." I said with a sigh, "I can't ask him."

The hand holding my arm slipped little by little, Mengyue lowered her eyelids in frustration, and slowly retracted into the bed.

"Go out, I will find a way by myself."

I frowned slightly, and wanted to say something to persuade her, but seeing her refusal to communicate, I followed her wishes, turned and left the room.

I was worried about what Mengyue would do on the spur of the moment, but after these few days, she was unexpectedly quiet and honest.

Since my stepmother's accident, she, my dad, and I lived under the same roof, but it was like three trains with their own concerns running on three tracks that would never meet.

Even when eating, they tacitly stagger each other.

I would go out from the backyard every day, wander around the village, sprinkle some cinnabar realgar powder on each house, and then observe the unusual movements of those snakes.After that, I will go to Granny Mei's house by the way to see if she has returned.

But the result always backfired.

Some people in the village wanted to leave the village to escape, but they were besieged by snakes before they walked out of their courtyards. Almost all the rest of the people stayed behind closed doors, and the snake bites did not happen for the time being.

But the number of snakes in the village is increasing day by day, and the village has become so depressed that it seems that there are no living people except snakes.

I have been thinking about the white curved roller held by the village chief last time, and I always feel that it is not an ordinary object, and it may be used to drive snakes away to keep the villagers safe.

It's a pity that I went to the village chief twice, but his son said that the village chief was ill and declined my visit.

Such a nightmare day, I don't know how long I can last.

I was lying on the bed tossing and turning. I just closed my eyes and was about to rest when I heard the sound of the door closing outside.

I got up vigilantly, quietly opened the door and looked out, and saw Mengyue wearing the short and see-through skirt from last time, walking towards the gate.

Why is she going this late at night?
Just when he was about to call her to stop, he saw her throwing herself into the arms of a man with a smile. The man hugged her waist affectionately and passionately, bowed his head and kissed her ambiguously.

Li Heng is here?I froze for a moment, and immediately swallowed the words that rolled to my lips.

Speaking of the snake scene in the village, Li Heng hasn't been here for a long time, probably because it was too hot to sleep at night, so he took the risk and sneaked to my house to look for Mengyue.

Meeting young people is like dry wood meeting fire, no wonder Mengyue went out dressed like that.

I quietly closed the door again, pretending I didn't see anything.

When I was lying on the bed, I vaguely heard them chatting at the door, the voice was vague and hazy, and I couldn't hear clearly, but I thought it was not appropriate to listen to other young couples chatting, so I just covered my ears with the quilt and forced myself to filter out those voices.

The snake scales on my neck slid to the pillow, and it was cool and cool just touching my collarbone. I just pinched it in my hand, and Liu Wangzhi's heart-pounding face unconsciously appeared in my mind.

Obviously there is only darkness in front of his eyes, but his every frown and movement seems to be clearly visible.

Especially those rippling peach eyes, when she is not smiling, she looks like the cold moon on the branches, but when she is smiling, it is hard to tell whether the look in her eyes is coldness or warmth.

No, how could it be warmth.

He didn't even respond to my call, he was really heartless.
