Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 28
For several days, Li Heng secretly came to Mengyue in the middle of the night.

The two whispered to each other at the door, but Li Heng didn't enter, and went back that night.

I was a light sleeper, and would be woken up by them every time. Sometimes when I was tired, I wanted to open the door and call them to chat in the house, but I was afraid that my dad would know Li Heng's desperate way of playing at night, and would make a fuss at that time. Mengyue and the two of them couldn't get off the stage.

So forget it.

It's rare that I ran into Mengyue when I got up today. When she opened the door, I just closed the door. The two looked up at each other and were slightly stunned.

"Mengyue, wake up so early." I twitched the corners of my mouth and greeted her proactively.

This is the first time we have talked face to face in many days. After she turned and closed the door, she responded: "Yes. You want to go out?"

Now I am the only one in my family who is not afraid of snakes. The food at home is getting less and less every day, and someone still has to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

So every morning I would get up early and go out with a basket to get some fresh vegetables, put some at the door of the neighbor’s house, and take some back to my own home.

I was afraid that she would think about her stepmother again, so I had to find an excuse to blurt it out: "No, it's not just getting up, I'm going to have breakfast."

Mengyue didn't say anything, just brushed past me.

She is wearing a light-colored short skirt today, which makes her face rosy and shiny. When she passed by me, my eyes were still attracted by her. I always feel that Mengyue has become more beautiful after a few days away...?
Thinking of this, I froze for a moment, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong, after all, Li Heng had been with her for a while, and when she was in a good mood, her natural state also improved.

I looked at Mengyue's slender back, showing the only gratifying smile in so many days.

After breakfast, I went to the kitchen to get the basket for picking vegetables, but as soon as I entered, I saw someone standing in the kitchen
My dad didn't leave after finishing breakfast today. He leaned against the stove, holding a vegetable basket that I will use later, as if he was waiting for me specially.

"Morning." I greeted him blankly, then deliberately ignored him, planning to take another vegetable pot out to pick vegetables.

My dad was sullen, and suddenly said: "Tingyue, who has Mengyue been seeing these few nights?"

I paused for a while when I was picking things up, then turned to look at him: "How do you know?" I continued to pick up the basin, straightened up and said, "Except for Li Heng, who else could be."

"Li Heng?" My dad was slightly startled, then frowned, "Are you sure, that this kid is so fearless of death, that he dares to take such a big risk to come to Mengyue every day?"

What he said stopped me. I only knew that Mengyue had a tryst with a man at the door of the house every night, but if it wasn't Li Heng, who else could it be?
It's just that what my dad said is not unreasonable. Now there are snakes everywhere in the village. Why does Li Heng come back and forth every day without doing anything?
Before I could answer, my dad put down the basket on the stove, with his fists hanging down on his palms, and he walked out talking to himself, "No, I have to call Li Heng's house, and I'll ask first."

I looked at the vegetable basket he had put back, my face slowly sank, some messy guesses surfaced in my heart, I lost the mood to go out at all.

Mengyue didn't go anywhere during the day, she just stayed at home, I went directly to her room, raised my hand and was about to knock on the door, when I suddenly heard her calling inside.

"What do you still say, you are not willing to let you come to live in my house, and now I can't see you, and you miss me again?"

She spoke in such a soft voice, who else could be on the other end of the phone besides Li Heng?

It seems that my dad is worrying too much.

But for Li Heng's safety, if I have a chance tonight, I'll tell him, or let him live in Bai's house.

In the middle of the night, there was no movement outside the door for a long time.

I was still thinking, could it be that my dad called someone today, so Li Heng didn't dare to come?
But that's good, at least I can finally sleep peacefully, without having to be woken up by them just after falling asleep.

I yawned, closed my eyes and prepared to fall asleep, when there was a "squeak" outside, and I heard Mengyue's footsteps outside.

Tsk, why did Li Heng come here at midnight.

Just about to get up and talk to them, who knew that when she put on her shoes, she heard Mengyue lose her temper while suppressing her voice.

"Didn't you say yes, you lied to me?"

Not knowing what Li Heng said, she yelled angrily: "Day after day, how many days can my mother wait!?"

I suddenly heard her mention her mother, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the conversation.

"No, don't let that thing get close to me. Last time she jumped on me without my permission. Thanks to Bai Tingyue who found out in time and saved me!"

With my ear pressed against the door, I heard these words clearly, and felt that things were getting worse and worse, so I opened the door and planned to go out to have a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, Mengyue was suddenly grabbed by someone's wrist and pulled out of the door. My dad rushed out from nowhere, holding a hatchet in his hand, and chased him out cursing!

"Dad!" I was shocked and hurried to follow.

But before I even got to the door, I saw my dad staggering back and fell to the ground!
I rushed over to help my dad, and turned my eyes to the door, but after a glance, I was so frightened that I was sober.

The courtyard was filled with thick fog, and two shadows appeared faintly in the bright and dim lights.

When the mist that covered their faces drifted away, they saw Mengyue and Li Heng standing upright in the yard with dull eyes. There were snakes, big and small, gathering at their feet, one by one, slowly. Slowly climb up along their ankles.

"Meng...Mengyue?" My slightly parted lips trembled imperceptibly, and a gust of cool wind blew in front of me, carrying a chilly air.

Mengyue raised her head slowly, with a strange arc at the corner of her mouth, her slender body leaned softly into Li Heng's arms, her slender arms wrapped around his waist, and tactfully recited a poem in a playful tone: "The king lives at the head of the Yangtze River. , I live at the end of the Yangtze River, thinking about you every day, drinking the water of the Yangtze River together."

She raised her hand to gently hold Li Heng's face, smiled and suddenly burst into tears.

"Heng Lang, my Heng Lang, I finally found you."

This resentful and desolate "Heng Lang" brought me back to that weird rainy night in an instant. I stood up from the ground and pointed at Mengyue in the fog through the door: "It's you! How dare you come here?" !"

This is the widow who sang tricks last time!Seeing that this thing hugged Li Heng and called "Heng Lang", could it be that the person she was looking for was actually Li Heng? !

My dad touched the hatchet in his hand, wobbled and got up, and stood next to me anxiously: "Who is that? Is Mengyue entangled by something again?"

Looking at the thing attached to Mengyue's body, there was a bit of resentment in her eyes instantly: "Snake girl, last time you ruined my good deeds and damaged my skin, if I can't move you, I have to Take your skin off!"

My dad heard a stranger's voice coming from the corner of Mengyue's mouth, took a vain step, and immediately raised his hatchet and shouted: "Damn it, you dare to act wild at the gate of Bai's house! Let my daughter go quickly, do you hear me!"

This woman is very difficult to deal with, and she can't be provoked by a few words at all.

I tore my dad's clothes, and said to the thing outside the door: "What do you want to do this time? Are you the one who came to look for my sister in the middle of the night these days?"

"Hehe, she's not Heng Lang, what am I going to do with her?" The woman smiled coquettishly, lowered her eyes slightly, and glanced behind her, "What's the point of singing the oboe, why don't you come out?"

"Holding your Heng Lang is not enough, why bother with my business?"

When I heard this voice, my face paled, and I immediately took a step back, and then I saw the old lady made of white paper walking out from behind Li Heng with that weird face.

"Bai Tingyue, do you want to stand up for your sister?"

It's a hell of a day, these two things not only know each other, but even cooperate together, holding both Mengyue and Li Heng in their hands.

I screamed in my heart that it was not good, now there are snakes outside, I can't fight against the two of them by myself, if it is head-to-head, the chances of winning are not great.

"It's you who come to look for my daughter every night?" My dad had a cold face, and his anger surfaced instantly, "You bastard, what are you doing pestering my daughter!"

The old paper figurine sneered: "Your daughter is so enthusiastic, I naturally want to do whatever I want, so I can do whatever."

"You!" My dad blushed with anger, and was about to rush out the door holding a hatchet.

With sharp eyesight, I quickly grabbed him and dragged him back into the house abruptly.

"Calm down!" I snatched the knife from his hand and blocked the door, "If you really get out of this door, you will be right in their way!"

"It's quite clever this time." The old paper figurine snorted angrily, "Just hide in it and be a turtle, anyway, the snake pupae is about to mature, and you can only watch the people around you turn into pupae." Monster, I hope that when the time comes, we can still persuade each other to remain calm like this. Hahaha..."

The old paper figurine laughed wildly, and the widow who sang raised her orchid fingers and scratched Li Heng's chin, "Okay, stop laughing. It's getting late, I'm going to take Heng Lang back."

Immediately, the alarm bell rang, and I clenched my hands into fists.

My dad was even more anxious and wanted to rush out. I opened my arms and blocked the front, blocking the door to prevent him from rushing out.

Seeing the widow controlling Mengyue to turn around, holding Li Heng's arm, she babbled and sang opera and walked out, but Li Heng was still at their mercy with blank eyes, as if his soul had left his body and only left an empty shell .

The old lady with paper figurines followed behind, and suddenly turned around and gave me a strange smile when passing through the thick fog, then turned around and merged into the night, gradually disappearing into the thick fog in the garden in the tune of the opera.
