Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 35
The slender and tall Dufeng is located in the forest, hidden under the night, and the trees all over the mountain are beautiful and full of shadows.

A cave at the foot of the mountain is hidden inside, and the stone wall at the entrance of the cave is covered with layer after layer of festive red silk. Two bamboo bone lanterns hang on both sides of the cave gate, pasted with white paper and pasted with bright red "" Happy".

Bright lights came out from the hole, as bright as daylight, shining brightly, one after another half-human tall squirrels were wearing black coats, holding a large rectangular wooden plate with two sharp claws, which contained wine Roasting the chicken, offering it to the dead, is coming in and out through the spacious cave door, each of them is busy.

Outside the cave is a flat land surrounded by layers of forest. At this time, hundreds of round wooden tables are neatly arranged. The squirrels put plate after plate of wine and vegetables on the table, but it is strange that there are no guests at the banquet of hundreds of tables. It was pitch black all around, and no lights were lit.

"Looks like I found the right one. It's really here." I looked at the squirrels coming and going, and spoke to the person next to me in a very soft voice.

Liu Wangzhi held the grinning black cat with one hand, and kept silent with one wide sleeve hanging down. His black body blended into the dim night, except for his pair of clear peach blossom eyes, which were still as bright as the moon in the sky.

I didn't expect Mengyue to sit in the snake sedan chair after being taken away by those two things. Although it is very likely that the widow who sings tricks is manipulating her, who are they going to marry Mengyue for? What, it's not clear yet.

In order not to startle the snake, Liu Juanzhi did not stop the wedding party on the spot, but followed the direction they were going, let the black cat lead us to find this cave first, and inquire in advance, wait for the sedan chair to arrive, and then see what those things are What the hell are you trying to do.

Liu Wangzhi didn't know what kind of magic he used to make me and him invisible. Now we were standing in the shade of the trees outside the cave, like two transparent people. Rat noticed.

These giant rats have obviously become spirits, but their cultivation level should not be high, so they cannot transform into human forms.

I have never seen such a bizarre scene before, and I couldn't help but put my head close to Liu Wangzhi's shoulder, and whispered: "Where did these big mice come from? Why have I never seen them in the back mountain or in the village before?" Pass?"

Liu Wangzhi followed my line of sight to the entrance of the cave, and said in a calm tone, "It's obvious that this is a rat cave. These things are hiding here in groups to practice, how could it be easy for you to find out."

That's right, it's good if they don't harm people, but if they are seen by the villagers, it will only increase the trouble.

I nodded knowingly, and then I was a little worried: "The snake sedan chair is carried by a few mice, Mengyue will not be married to the mice here?" After thinking about it, I couldn't help frowning, "No, that snake The sedan chair and the snake beads were sent by snakes, and the people who carried the sedan chair before were also snakes, so what does it have to do with these rats..."

Liu Wangzhi tilted his beautiful eyes slightly, and glanced at me lightly: "Have you never heard of it, snakes and rats are a nest."

"Huh?" I looked at him in amazement, "You mean, these mice are working for that thing in the back mountain?"

Liu Wangzhi raised his brows slightly, noncommittal.

At this time, two mice passed under the tree with a wooden tray, and chatted quietly together while there was no one around.

"Hey, tell me, who is getting married tonight, the daughter of the Bai family, or Ruan Niang?"

"I don't know either. The daughter of the Bai family swallowed the snake beads and agreed to marry that lord, but now Ruan Niang has found her Heng Lang, and she refuses to give up that body. I'm so angry, how could she be so nonsense."

"What, did she really find that Heng Lang? But how did I hear that, in order to coax her into summoning a hundred ghosts, the head of the family specially found a similar person to fill in the number?"

"Ask me, who am I asking? If you want me to tell you, I blame the Snake King for protecting that snake girl, otherwise the one above him would not have to settle for second best, and was in a hurry to marry this yin girl, even this marriage could be done So hasty."

"Come on, work hard, after greeting those ghosts in a while, we can still drink two jugs of good wine."

"Hey, that's right. Let's go..."

After the two big mice chattered happily, they carried the wooden tray and walked away happily.

I stood in the shade of the trees and listened to their words from beginning to end. The amount of information was so great that my brain turned white.

They said that the daughter of the Bai family swallowed the snake beads and agreed to marry the evil thing on the back mountain, but the Bai family only had two daughters, and I didn't swallow the snake beads, obviously not talking about me!
I suddenly remembered that Mengyue had a private meeting with Li Heng at the door, and the disputes that happened. At that time, I wondered why she and Li Heng talked so strangely. Now it seems that Mengyue has been meeting people outside the door. It wasn't Li Heng, maybe she had hooked up with these things a long time ago, so it would be a matter of time before she got on that snake sedan chair.

The more I think about these things, the greater the impact. My ears are buzzing, and my numb legs are followed by a stagger.

Liu Huanzhi quickly wrapped his arms around my waist, saw that I was stunned, and said calmly: "Since I heard it, it just saved me a lot of talking."

"You know?" I looked up at Liu Wangzhi, and the hand holding his arm was getting tighter and tighter, "When, why didn't you tell me?"

My nails were about to sink into his flesh, Liu Wangzhi still had the same faint expression as if he didn't know the pain: "I can tell you that women who swallow snake beads will have a charming face, and their appearance will become more and more beautiful. Can show snake charm to people."

After he finished speaking, he paused, then suddenly changed the topic, "Do you still remember that time when Li Heng followed you, trying to plot against you?"

"Remember..." I thought about something, and I was taken aback, "No wonder! No wonder Li Heng was in such an abnormal state that day, no wonder Mengyue went out in a hurry, no wonder Li Heng suddenly changed his attitude and obeyed her, no wonder I I always feel that she seems to be getting more and more beautiful...I never thought that she would get mixed up with these harmful things!"

It turns out that Mengyue swallowed the snake beads long ago, and lied to me that she had already lost the beads. What is this crazy girl trying to do, is it just to get Li Heng to marry her?

"Not necessarily." Liu Wangzhi looked down at me, and there was silence in the peach blossom pond, "I found out that she had swallowed snake beads that night when she came to your room to express her goodwill to me. But according to my As far as I know, before Bai Hansheng offended me, she did not agree to cooperate with those things on the back mountain."

I quietly listened to Liu Wangzhi's words, but my brows became tighter and tighter.

If Mengyue swallowed the snake beads in order to get Li Heng, and later agreed to marry something on the back mountain, then there is only one possible opportunity for her to compromise-she wants to save her mother.

However, Liu Wangzhi had already noticed something was wrong with Mengyue early in the morning, but still chose to stand by and watch, even for my sake, he didn't take the initiative to bring this matter up.

No... maybe I shouldn't think so.

After all, what position do I have to let him take the initiative to give me face?

No matter how human he behaved tonight, it couldn't change that he was still that cold and unfeeling snake.

Complicated emotions fluctuated in my eyes, and after several twists and turns, they finally calmed down.

I slowly let go of Liu Juanzhi's arm, moved away sideways, stared at the ground in a trance, and said in a low voice, "Thank you Lord Snake for your reminder, I have to trouble you about rescuing Mengyue and Li Heng."

Noticing my sudden politeness, Liu Juzhi's eyes moved slightly, his crow-feather eyelashes fluttered quietly, and his face remained expressionless: "Well, I won't break my promise."

The two stopped talking, and watched the mice busy in front of them in silence.

Suddenly, a gloomy cold wind blew from nowhere, and the lush green plants around the cave quickly condensed a layer of frost visible to the naked eye, and then the branches and leaves began to wither and turn yellow under the influence of Yin Qi. The vegetation is barren and the fields are withered.

"Here we come, the sedan chair is here!"

I was still wondering, when I heard the mouse with the food and drink in front yell, and then the other squirrels ran out of the hole one by one, stood in two rows and looked into the distance.

The dense fog began to spread from the end of the forest, and the green lanterns swayed slightly with the white shadows in the fog.

Paper money is floating all over the sky, the strange suona is approaching from far away, eight squirrels carrying the scarlet snake sedan chair come through the fog, followed by countless ghosts who come to see off their relatives, even the wind blowing on their faces, in the hot weather There was a biting coldness in it.

Liu Juzhiyin and I stayed motionless in the shadow of the tree, quietly watching the sedan chair fall to the ground.

All the squirrels knelt on the side of the road together, and the ghosts behind them gradually stopped crying and laughing. The mice carrying the sedan chair lit the road and sang in unison in high-pitched voices: "The bride has arrived—"

After a while, a young man in a wedding dress came out of the cave, followed by a strange short man in a hanging shirt.

They walked down the stone steps and waited outside the cave, and saw a slender hand stretched out from the snake sedan chair, slowly lifting the door curtain of the sedan chair, and then a bright red embroidered shoe stepped out of the sedan chair, a beautiful figure shook, Mengyue was dressed in a phoenix crown and Xiapei Walked out of the sedan chair.

Her winking eyes are full of spring, her red lips are partly grinning, and her gentle female voice is soft and boneless: "Heng Lang~ My concubine is here."
