Chapter 22
Meng Ran would take a dip in such a medicated bath every once in a while.

As she was about to become an adult, the medicinal baths prepared by her father became more frequent.

Although she really wanted to tell him that it didn't work...

Because every time she takes a medicinal bath, she always feels that the snake bone mark on her right hand is more obvious.

She still couldn't bear to tell her father about such a change, he had been afraid for so many years, and it was because he was afraid that he would be missed by the snake fairy in the mountains.

This bathtub is unique to Boss Meng, and the temperature of the medicinal bath inside can be maintained for at least one hour.

Meng Ran felt drowsy after soaking in the bath. After she fell asleep comfortably, the snake bone mark on her right hand began to turn white, protruding from her skin bit by bit.

That's right, stick your head out.

If she is awake at this time, then she will not miss this scene.

A white snake head protruded from her right wrist, and the blood-red eyes of the snake stared closely at Meng Ran's sleeping face. During the years in her body, he almost watched her little by little. growing up.

Now that his body has been cultivated, he can come out of her body.

Meng Ran finally woke up in a burst of pain, but she didn't notice anything unusual.

At this time, she was no longer sleepy, she got up slowly from the medicine bath, got dressed and went back to her room, she was very tired after being outside for a long time today.

I don't know if it's Meng Ran's illusion.

I always felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at her in the room, but I looked around and found nothing.

She didn't want to waste her spiritual power, so she could only search by herself.

After looking around to make sure there was nothing unusual, I lay back on the bed with peace of mind.

If there is really something strange, no matter how carefully she searches, she won't find it.

It's better to wait for someone to show up.

When Meng Ran's long breathing sound came, a phantom of a man suddenly appeared beside her.

His long silver hair hung over his shoulders like satin, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were alluring and charming like a mountain spirit, and his amber eyes were like the most dazzling star in the starry sky, restraining the brilliance of the sun and the moon.

He watched the woman's phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, with a look of scrutiny, there was still a trace of coquettish and strange color in the mist, as well as a possessive desire that could not go away.

This man is possessive of Meng Ran.

"Little thing, you are the person I practiced in vain, remember."

Meng Ran, who was in a daze in his sleep, didn't know what to say. Bai Lian's monstrous eyes flashed with dangerous brilliance, "This is what you promised. If you dare to break the contract, you will die forever."

……

A gust of wind passed, leaving nothing behind.

But with Bai Lian's awakening and appearance, Meng Ran's village began to have troubles gradually.

One by one the women disappeared.

Counting from the first person who disappeared, now it is the third.

Especially where they disappeared, there was a strong snake smell, and there were some snake scales.

For a while, people in the village panicked.

In particular, the snakes caught by every household from the mountains will make a "hissing" sound every night, one after another, getting worse every night.

Some people say that the snake fairy in the mountains came down to choose a wife.

The women who disappeared in the village were all women who had just passed the exam, which made the rest of the women flustered.

The men are also timid.

into the night.

Every household will close and lock their doors and windows, and sprinkle realgar wine around the house.

Snakes hold grudges the most.

Their village makes a living by catching snakes. From the past to the present, there have been tens of thousands of snakes returned from hunting, and no less than a thousand.

For now.

There must be hundreds of snakes in every household.

every month.

There will always be restaurants in the town coming to collect snakes.

People from rich families like to eat snake soup and the like the most. People here live by selling snakes, and everyone has snake blood in their hands.

This is true even for young children.

Only Meng Ran.

Because Boss Meng was worried that the weird things that happened to her mother during childbirth would happen to her again, since she was born, she has been kept away from things like snakes, and he stopped catching snakes every day.

Relying on guarding the snake fairy temple in the village to earn some meager income.

Occasionally, I would go to the mountains to dig some medicinal materials and sell them in the town.

That's how the day passed.

this day.

After Meng Ran fell asleep, Bai Lian appeared next to her again. Just as he was hugging her and preparing to fall asleep, a similar voice appeared outside.

He pressured his kind outside and left immediately.

He knew what happened to Meng Ran's village, but he didn't intend to open the mouth.

What's more, this little girl hasn't discovered his existence yet.

Every day he would come out of her body, sleep with her in his arms, and return to her right hand imprint at dawn.

That was the space left by his mother in her hands, and he had recuperated in it all these years.

But Bai Lian was wrong about one thing.

It's not that Meng Ran doesn't know him, it's just that there is no evidence to confirm it.

After all, she wakes up every day with a feeling of being entangled by something, and she also has some difficulty breathing at night.

There are various indications.

That thing has been showing up these days and nights.

And climbed into her bed!
When Meng Ran went out and heard that another woman had disappeared from the village last night, everyone couldn't sit still.

"My son—my wretched son—"

The mother who lost her daughter started crying when they got together, and kept crying, like the kind of tears that can't be shed.

Boss Meng just came back from the Snake Fairy Temple and saw Meng Ran standing outside the house frowning, "Why did you come out? Didn't you just stay at home obediently during this time?"

"Daddy, I just heard the crying, so I came out to have a look, and you see, I haven't left the house."

Boss Meng saw that it was so.

Meng Ran stood outside the house, listening to the sounds outside, and looked at the people gathered at the village head's house from a distance. The four families who lost their daughter were all crying around.

Regarding the strangeness in the village recently, the village head has nothing to do.

Boss Meng pushed Meng Ran and urged, "Ranran, hurry back to the house."

"But..." She hasn't finished the play yet.

"Don't worry...the village is not peaceful recently, and it's not like you don't know it. Go back to the house quickly."

"Okay, okay." Meng Ran turned back to the house obediently, but before entering the door, he still guessed, "Father, do you think there are giant pythons in the mountains? Could these people who disappeared be killed by giant pythons?" Eat it as lunch?"

Meng Ran's guess is not without basis.

A long time ago, something like this happened in their village. A pure black python attacked the village at night and bit many people.
