Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 5
The familiar cold fragrance of grass and trees lingered at the tip of the nose, and the brain gave an accurate response almost immediately.

It was him, the man on the mountain after last night.

Or... it was the snake that had been entangled with me all night!

I stared at the man in front of me without blinking my eyes wide open, his captivating features were reflected in my constricted pupils, my whole body tensed up unconsciously, trembling slightly under his gaze.

The hazy moonlight leaked in through the gaps in the curtains, and the tranquility of the night was vividly reflected at this moment.

The man's slightly cool fingertips slid across my lips, taking in all my expressions.He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and his tone was a little light: "The heart is beating so fast, are you afraid of me?"

The fear in my heart was exposed by him mercilessly, and I didn't hide it. I looked at him and said in a trembling voice: "...Who would not be afraid of being entangled by a snake?"

"Really." The man slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, carelessly stroking a strand of my hair with his fingertips, "I'm afraid, why don't you run away?"

I dared to look directly at him, and asked in a low voice, "Would it be useful to escape...?"

The man gave a rare smile, raised the end of his eyes, and the scarlet mole under his eyes shook his heart.

He pinched my earlobe and rubbed it lightly, his voice was low and deep: "What's your name?"

I looked at him in silence for a while, turned away, and answered irrelevantly to his words: "The debt has been paid...how can you let me go?"

"Debt?" The man paused, not knowing what he was thinking, and then pinched my chin, turning my face back to face him, "There is indeed a debt. But do you think this debt of favor is so easy to repay?"

I was pressed under him with my chin stuck, and I couldn't move at all. I was afraid of offending him, so I had to compromise: "Then what do you want..."

"What do you think?" His meaningful eyes fell on my face, with a sporadic smile in his eyes, "Although I was drunk last night, I didn't forget anything."

He suddenly bent down to touch the tip of my nose, his mellow voice seemed to have a small hook, "I hope you do too."

The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer. If he wants me to remember last night, doesn't that mean...does he still want to keep pestering me like that?

I used to hear old people say, "Snakes are entangled in three dreams, and one dream lasts a lifetime." Once you are entangled, don't think that you can get rid of it easily.

I couldn't tell whether it was despair or fear gushing from the bottom of my heart, I quickly raised my damp eyes and looked at him, biting my lower lip tightly, and a few drops of blood slowly soaked from the white teeth marks.

The man's pretty brows were slightly raised, and he pressed his fingertips on my lips, gently wiping away the blood: "There's no need to be afraid of this. Since you've followed me, naturally I won't make things difficult for you."

He lowered his head, wiped a kiss against the dry blood on my lips, raised his eyes and looked at me: "I'll ask you again, what's your name."

It looked like he was entangled with me, there was no way to hide anyway, I lowered my eyelids, and answered somewhat resignedly: "Bai Tingyue."

"The white moon is reflected in the ten miles of smoke." He raised his eyebrows, his eyes were as deep as peach blossom pools, "good name."

I have to admit that this man always has an inexplicable attractiveness, every frown and movement, even just a fleeting look, makes it difficult to look away.

Without the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, his breath is full of clear grass and woods, and when he whispers, his breath lightly sprinkles on his face, and it smells very pleasant.

I was still in a daze when the collar of my pajamas was suddenly untied, and the man held my waist with one hand, covered my whole body, and then kissed thinly and passionately, falling one after another.

I pursed my lips and asked him tremblingly, "You...you haven't said your name yet..."

"Liu Wangzhi." His eyes were full of color, and he lowered his eyes and bit my shoulder, "Do you remember?"

……

Liu Wangzhi is really inhuman, his physical strength is outrageous.

He didn't stop tossing until dawn, and didn't take much rest after the end, he got up and got dressed.

While wearing a long gown with a belt, he said lightly: "You have my palate hanging around your neck. If you need me later, just call me over."

I was so tired that I couldn't keep my eyes open, and my voice was so dry that it seemed to be smoking. I suddenly remembered that before I had time to ask, he was already fully dressed, walking towards the door with a calm expression.

The scale-patterned black shirt with wide sleeves and a jade belt wrapped around his waist outlines his tall figure with broad shoulders, narrow waist and slender legs.

I stared blankly at the slightly alienated figure, and couldn't recall his enthusiastic appearance last night. At the same time, I secretly sighed that not only did the snake have a shockingly beautiful appearance, but even the back was also a rare grace. Jue Chen.

After walking two steps, Liu Juzhi glanced sideways at me, turned back suddenly, kissed my forehead calmly, "Let's go."

After speaking, I rubbed my hair, and then turned into a puff of white smoke and left.

I was a little dazed by the last kiss with unknown meaning, and I couldn't figure out what the snake was trying to do.

My whole body was aching like it was about to fall apart. When Liu Wangzhi left, I immediately relaxed, and within a short while, I sank into the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

It's a pity that I didn't rest for a long time, and I vaguely heard someone shouting outside again. The sound of knocking on the washbasin was mixed with the sound of dogs barking, which made people's temples hurt.

With a bang, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

Bai Mengyue came directly over and lifted my quilt, and shouted at me: "Bai Tingyue, you are still sleeping here! Get up quickly, Granny Mei is looking for you!"

I slowly opened my eyes while holding my drowsy head, and asked her hoarsely, "What happened, why is it so noisy outside?"

"Uncle Wang's body is gone, Granny Mei told you to hurry there!"

"what?!"

I sat up abruptly, quickly put on my clothes under Bai Mengyue's surprised eyes, checked that the collar had covered the marks on my skin, and then hurried to Old Wangtou's house.

Early in the morning, the courtyard of the Wang family was crowded with people again. Aunt Wang was talking to Granny Mei for some reason, and she stomped her feet anxiously.

"Mother-in-law, are you looking for me?" I ran over panting, for fear of delaying things.

Granny Mei stretched out her hand and pulled me to her side, with a serious expression on her face: "Tingyue, did you encounter any strange things last night?"

All right, why are you asking me this all of a sudden?

I froze with an unnatural expression, and shook my head pretending to be calm: "No, no. Mother-in-law, I heard that Old Wangtou's body is missing. What's going on?"

When Aunt Wang heard what I said, she burst into tears immediately: "Oh, what a life, my son and I put my old Wang into the coffin last night. I think the red rope tied him too tightly, and he was not big. It looks good, so I thought about letting him loose, so that I can rest in peace."

"Who would have known... who would have known that when I got up early this morning, I found that the lid of the coffin was open, and the corpse inside, the corpse, disappeared overnight!"

There is such a thing?Could it be... the old Wangtou cheated on the corpse?

I didn't know what to do, but when I was about to ask Granny Mei, she said first, "Tingyue, you fed the corpse yesterday, the reason why I asked you that question was because I was afraid that this thing would go to find it last night. you."

Generally speaking, if a starving ghost intends to make trouble, he will definitely pester someone who can give him food.

But last night I stayed with Liu Wangzhi all the time, and it was quiet around late at night, and I didn't hear any unusual noises.

As for how and when the old Wangtou's body disappeared, I don't know anything at all.

"Really not. Mother-in-law, everything was normal at my house last night."

After all, Liu Wangzhi is not an ordinary person, even Granny Mei may not be able to deal with it.I was already doomed to be entangled by him, so why make others go into the water with me.

Besides, he stayed with me almost all the time last night. If the matter of the old king is related to him, it means that his methods are unusual and hidden.

In this way, I can't even tell my mother-in-law, lest more people know and startle the snake, I can only wait for a chance to approach him when I have time later, and try to find out any clues.

"Okay, I see." Granny Mei nodded, leaning on a cane and said to the old Wang's son, "Xiao Wang, go and bring the black dog from Zhang's across the door, I will find a way Bring back the old Wangtou's body before dark."

"Hey! I'll go right away!" Old Wangtou's son responded, pushed aside the crowd and went outside to ask someone to borrow a dog.

Taking advantage of my spare time, I asked Granny Mei in a low voice: "Grandma, how do you plan to find her?"

Granny Mei was about to open her mouth to speak, when suddenly there was another sound of knocking on the washbasin from the other side of the village road, and then she heard someone running towards this side, shouting all the way: "It's not good! Something happened! Aunt Liu's house has a snake , Another one died in our village!"

how so?The old Wangtou's matter has not been dealt with yet, and Aunt Liu's house is also in trouble?
Aunt Liu was fine yesterday, she even took the lead in making noises at Old Wangtou's house, why did something happen at home today, and someone died?

The one who died... who could it be?

The person knocking on the pot hadn't gone far, and Granny Mei and I turned our heads to look at each other, and our expressions changed at the same time.
