Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 59
How could there be a note in this cabinet and it was pressed so well?

I casually put the jar on the board in the closet compartment, frowned and unfolded the little note.

The smell of ink radiated head-on, and two lines of familiar calligraphy were written on the slightly yellowed paper:

"The snake beads are not from the back mountain. Remember, don't trust that person.

Also, protect yourself.Lidong this year, come to Liangcheng to find me. "

The inscription has only one word, "Mei".

My pupils shrank slightly, and the hand holding the note slowly tightened. For a moment, I couldn't believe that this was actually a note from Granny Mei!
In this way, my mother-in-law didn't leave without saying goodbye, she must have left in a hurry for some reason, so she can only leave such a little news for me.

But she said that the snake beads did not come from the back mountain, what does this mean?The "that person" she mentioned doesn't... mean Liu Wangzhi?
Also, where is Liangcheng? How can I find her?

This bunch of things is messed up, and the more I think about it, the more I frown.Seeing me standing in front of the cabinet with my head bowed, Liu Wangzhi glanced at me slightly, and walked towards me lightly.

"What are you looking at?" His chest was pressed against my back, and his eyes fell on the note in my hand from back to front.

I was startled, hurriedly grabbed the piece of paper in a panic, swallowed and pretended to be calm and said: "It's nothing, my mother-in-law left me a message, saying that she has gone back to her hometown, and told me not to miss her."

"Really." Liu Wangzhi's complexion remained the same, his voice was very light, "There is nothing on the paper, don't you have hysteria?"

"Ah? How can..." I turned around and unfolded the piece of paper while talking, and the words that slipped to my lips suddenly stopped in summer.

That piece of paper was indeed clean, without a single trace of handwriting on it, and only a little bit of unscented fragrance of thick ink remained.

But I'm very sure that I did see Granny Mei's handwriting on it a minute ago.

I rubbed the paper into a ball dumbly, looked up at Liu Wangzhi, and twitched the corner of my mouth: "Ah, there is really nothing, maybe I miss my mother-in-law too much..."

"En." Liu Wangzhi's beautiful eyes were half down, she stared at me quietly for three seconds, raised her hand from my side to reach into the cabinet, took out the iron can, opened it and took a look.

"What is it?" I saw him frown suddenly, and I leaned in front of him curiously and tiptoed to look inside.

There was a strong smell of cinnabar in the jar, and there was nothing else in this small tin jar, a red dry gecko.

As soon as I saw this thing, I immediately understood what Granny Mei meant. She wanted me to keep the red dot on my wrist a secret and not tell anyone.

"The mother-in-law you know is very knowledgeable." Liu Wangzhi closed the lid and threw the thing to me casually, "What age is it, and you still keep this thing, do you want to give you some palace sand?"

"Maybe..." I took the tin can and prevaricated casually.

"It's useless to think about it." He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and walked out the door, with a careless back, "Anyway, you are already a woman, aren't you?"

"..." I was really speechless from the snake's anger, I put the small tin can in my arms, and followed him out of Grandma Mei's house.

After I went home and put away my things, I was urged by my dad to go to the entrance of the village to participate in a banquet specially held by the villagers.

All kinds of tables spliced ​​together extend from the village head to the village tail. Every family makes their own specialty dishes and puts them on the table. Everyone sits around the table freely and tastes their favorite dishes freely.

Liu Wangzhi and I were invited to a separate table by the village cadres. They made a toast to Liu Wangzhi, and then sat down at the next table spontaneously.

So our table became the emptiest seat in the audience. Although the dishes were the most, compared with the bustle of the other tables, it was almost deserted.

When the lights first came on, the village roads were brightly lit, children were chasing and playing with balls, old people were shaking palm-leaf fans and listening to young people chatting, women’s laughter resounded from time to time, and men were bare-chested and punching, their faces flushed from drinking.

Liu Wangzhi didn't like scenes that were too noisy, so he sat with me for a while, then stood up and left the table.

As soon as he left, more people came to my table, no matter who they were, they were willing to chat with me, and hoped that I would not care about the past.

Tingting and her father also came, and the adults expressed their thanks to me and bowed politely, which made me very embarrassed, and I didn't know where to put my hands.

When everyone went to the next table, Tingting sat beside me, talking to me with her eyes bent: "I heard from grandma and the others that when snake girls grow up, they will be picked up by big snakes. Sister Bai, Are you leaving too?"

The innocence of the child made people feel emotional. I touched her head and smiled at her: "Yes, the big snake is here to pick me up, and I'm leaving soon."

"Ah? Where are you going, will you come back?" Tingting's eyes flickered, and her brows were filled with disappointment.

"Where to, I don't know yet. As for whether I will come back..." I looked at the bustling village, feeling a little empty in my heart, "Maybe, but... I can't say for sure."

"What did you say?!" My dad came over at some time, and just when he heard my words, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, "Tingyue, you want to go?!"

I wanted to talk to him about it later, but when I saw that he had heard it, I turned around and said goodbye to Tingting, and asked her to go to the side to play for a while, then sat up straight and opened the bench in front of him: "Sit down and talk."

My dad was still holding the wine glass in his hand, and his tanned face looked anxious. He sat on the stool and couldn't wait to ask: "Are you going to follow the snake king? Have you thought about it? Ting Yue, this is not a joke." Son, after all he..."

"I know." I interrupted him with downcast eyes, pulled the glass and poured myself some beer, "I know he's a snake, you don't have to remind me all the time. But then again, I was born to be a sacrifice to him, What can be done about this?"

When this matter was mentioned, my dad was speechless, he looked down at the wine in the glass, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Dad is sorry for you, if you really decide to leave, you must remember to be careful in everything. "

"Also, there are not many men in the world who are not ruthless, not to mention that he is a snake, and he doesn't understand human feelings at all. You just listen to Dad, don't fall into it, understand?"

Indeed, there are too many fickle men, isn't he himself?
I sneered, pulled the corner of my mouth, moved the glass of beer towards him, and clinked glasses with his baijiu: "This glass is toast to you, thank you for your kindness in nurturing."

The rims of the cups collided and made a crisp "ding".

I raised my glass and raised my head, drank the beer in one gulp, wiped my mouth with my sleeve while resisting the bitterness in my mouth, stood up and looked at him: "Take care of my stepmother and Mengyue, I'm leaving first."

After finishing speaking, ignoring my dad's stunned and melancholy expression, he put down his glass, turned and left the banquet.

The moonlight was hazy among the clouds, and the bustle was getting farther and farther behind me. I dragged my shadow and walked slowly on the way home, my eyes wandering aimlessly, wanting to take a last look at the land where I grew up.

Not long ago, I never thought that I might leave here one day, but now looking at those familiar houses and tree shadows, I can only sigh that the world is unpredictable and life is impermanent.

The evening wind blew past the tips of my hair, only to find that the restless cicadas had stopped, and summer was coming to an end without knowing it.

When I got home, I happened to see Mengyue coming out of my room. She was well dressed this time, but her face was even uglier than last time.

"Mengyue." I slowed down and called out to her the moment she rubbed shoulders.

She turned around and looked at me with a very cold attitude: "Tell me something quickly."

Mengyue took care of her stepmother at home today, and did not follow us to the Baijia Banquet.

I turned to look at her, and said calmly, "Why didn't you tell the truth when you swallowed the snake beads?"

When Mengyue heard me mention this, she clenched her fist silently, and after a while, she suddenly laughed: "What's the point of saying this, why did I swallow that thing, didn't you already know?"

The matter has passed, and there is really no need to mention it again.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." I took two steps towards her and sighed very softly, "You have to remember that you have a special constitution, and you must protect yourself in the future." The corners of my mouth relaxed and I smiled at her, "Besides, I'm leaving tomorrow, and no one in the Bai family will hinder your eyes from now on."

"So, be happy."

Mengyue didn't respond, she just kept looking at me with a cold face.

I thought I had already said goodbye to her and had nothing to say, so I turned around and went back to the house.

Liu Wangzhi was still wearing that black shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, and he was lazily sitting on the stool by the table, lowering his head and fiddling with the things in his hands.

When I got closer, I couldn't help being stunned. I stood next to him and sat on the back of his chair. I opened my eyes and said in surprise, "My God, so you still have a cell phone?"

Liu Wangzhi raised his eyelashes and glanced at me, his tone was neutral: "Don't look at me like that, it's stupid."

"...You're stupid." I glared at him angrily, and wanted to pack my luggage, but just as I turned my head, I was pulled into his lap.

Liu Wangzhi hugged me, stretched out his slender hand in front of me, and handed over his mobile phone: "Your number, and communication software, add it yourself."

I looked back at him, saw that there was no emotion in his eyes, and suddenly felt a little bored.

How can someone ask someone for their contact information like this? This is going to be left in our school, and the girls have already rejected it eight hundred times.

Complaining in my heart is nothing but complaining, I took his mobile phone honestly, entered my number and V signal, and then returned the mobile phone to him.

Liu Wangzhi lowered his head to check it, then turned his phone away with his backhand, slid his palm from his waist to his hip, and patted me lightly: "Okay, go and pack your things quickly, take a shower and go to bed early."

"Got it." I stood up from his lap, scratched my hair and tidied up.

At noon the next day, we had dinner at home, and with our packed luggage, we took a ride with enthusiastic villagers.

Liu Wangzhi and I waited in the car for a long time, only to see Hu Yuzhi rushing in in a light yellow cheongsam, she opened the car door and sat next to me, complaining: "It's annoying, that old man There was a funeral at my son's house, and a bunch of people were arguing endlessly, which made me almost unable to go out."

When the car started, I rolled down the window and paused, then turned around and asked, "A funeral? You mean the village chief..."

"Dead." Hu Yuzhi took out the mirror from her small bag, and straightened her messy hair while running, "I died last night, and everyone else was having a family banquet, so I didn't have time to take care of his funeral. Called someone to deal with it this morning, but they didn't want to, so they started arguing."

The incident was a bit sudden, and I didn't expect the village chief to leave so quickly. Now that I think of Mr. Shuiyun, I feel a little sad.

I couldn't help but look back, and took a last look at the direction of my home through the glass. The surrounding scenery was receding, and my hometown was getting farther and farther away in a phantom.

I turned my face to look at the road ahead, and my eye sockets suddenly became hot.

While he was secretly feeling sad, Hu Yuzhi suddenly came over, glanced at Liu Wangzhi who was sitting in the co-pilot with her amorous eyes, and whispered in my ear softly: "Hey, little girl, did Mr. Snake tell you? , what are we looking for?"
