father snake

Shi Xiaochuan originally thought that if he fell from such a high cliff, he must be hopeless.This is not the world of martial arts. Boys who are hunted down by bad guys and fell off cliffs can always have some adventures.

At that moment, he didn't even resent the giant snake that threw him off the cliff. Although he didn't know the reason, he just knew that the giant snake would not kill him.

So when he fell into the water, thumped vigorously, finally climbed to the shore, and rested panting on the muddy ground beside the deep pool, he turned over and lay on his back, looking at the top of the cliff above, there was a faint The invisible shadow, he knew it was the giant snake - it had been watching him.

He stood up slowly, stepped into the relatively shallow place of the pool, washed the mud off his body, took off the tattered shirt, rubbed it in the water, wrung it dry, and hung it on his arm.

He raised his head, waved his hand towards the top of the cliff, and called out, "I'll come back to see you."

What responded to him was a light and fluffy thing falling from the cliff, and it fell slowly. Shi Xiaochuan noticed that it was the jacket he was wearing. He watched the jacket absorb the water and then slowly sank into the water .

He turned around, and walked slowly along the faintly visible, winding and hidden path by the pool under the white moonlight.

Surrounded by shadowy woods and a slight fragrance in the air, he seemed to be walking in a dream, but this dream soon brought him into reality.

The place in front of him was already familiar to him.

This is the back mountain of Lingshan Temple, where he often comes to play. He looked at the road when he came here, and then looked at the upturned eaves of Lingshan Temple not far away. He was extremely familiar with every plant and tree on the Lingshan Mountain where he was located, and he had touched every corner here for more than ten years, but now, he was not sure of anything.

Maybe there really are gods and monsters in this world, Shi Xiaochuan took a deep breath, intending to follow the example of those who entered into ghost novels, and regard these things as Nankeyimeng.

He slowly pushed open the door of Lingshan Temple, the wooden door creaked, the inside was dark, only a red light came from it, it was Shi Songnong's ever-burning lamp.

Shi Xiaochuan felt the light switch from behind the door familiarly, and the room was lit with dim light. The light bulb used by Shisong was only [-] watts, and the brightness of the light was a little stronger than nothing.

Shi Xiaochuan stepped forward, habitually walked to the altar first, lit a joss stick, and respectfully inserted it on the incense burner and candle stand.

The founder of Lingshan Temple is an unknown branch of Taoism with a long history, and what is enshrined is not a famous god in the history of Taoism, but "Xuantian Dade Sage".

Shi Xiaochuan once asked about the origin of this "Xuantian Great Virtuous Lord", but Shi Song didn't know the details. Anyway, this Lingshan temple has been enshrining this god since it was built, so there must be some origins. Unfortunately, after some turmoil, those records They were all destroyed too.

His habit of burning incense as soon as he enters the door was also trained by Shi Song. Whenever he came to Lingshan Temple to play, he would be grabbed by Shi Song to burn incense. Go to the altar.

Shi Song had already left the Lingshan Temple, and he didn't know where he was going. It was a place where no one lived for a long time, and it was cold and unpopular. Shi Xiaochuan touched the kitchen. Fortunately, there was still a little rice left in the jar. After ordering rice, he rummaged through the box and found some moldy tofu in the corner. With this moldy tofu, he ate two big bowls of rice and his stomach felt a little bloated before he stopped.

After cleaning up everything, he came to his usual room, took off his clothes, and lay on the bed. Under the light, the last bite wound on his shoulder by the giant snake was very obvious. The bite is called a "snake kiss."

Shi Xiaochuan touched the red and swollen place, this is really not a romantic thing.

The next day, he woke up just after dawn. He found a short-sleeved T-shirt in his own cabinet and put it on. After eating a bowl of cold rice, he planned to go down the mountain.

Walking halfway, he saw a few people coming towards him. Shi Xiaochuan saw that it was Shi Chen who was leading a few people to detect something with a special instrument. When he saw Shi Xiaochuan suddenly appearing in front of him When he was in front of him, he was stunned, then suddenly woke up, threw the equipment to the subordinates around him, ran over, grabbed Shi Xiaochuan's shoulder tightly, "Why are you here, where have you been?"

Shi Xiaochuan cried out in pain, and his hand just happened to be placed on the place where the giant snake bit him, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, "I don't know what happened."

Shi Chen told the people who followed him that the person had been found, and then let them go down the mountain first.

"Do you know how big of a commotion the disappearance of you and that librarian caused? We almost searched the entire Lingshan Town and the surrounding area." Shi Chen looked a little haggard, and his fair and handsome face was now tanned. A lot, but the whole person seems a little more mature. If the little girl sees him, she will probably find him more attractive like this.

"How is Aunt Ping?" Seeing his question, Shi Chen was a little puzzled by Shi Xiaochuan's question, and continued, "It's that librarian."

"She was found on the mountain behind the school the next day. She was frightened and lost her mind. Now she has resigned and returned home." Shi Chen pulled Shi Xiaochuan over, looked up and down, and replied, "You still Didn't tell me what the hell was going on."

Shi Xiaochuan smiled wryly. How should he answer this kind of thing? Could it be that he told others that he went to a non-existent place on a spiritual mountain, met a giant snake, saw a thrilling snake-spider battle, and was later taken from a place by the giant snake? Throwing off a cliff and then returning to the real world?

People who say this kind of thing will probably be regarded as crazy.

He opened and closed his mouth, really didn't know where to start, and finally could only say, "I was already on this mountain when I woke up, and I don't remember what happened before."

Shi Chen looked at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any more questions. Seeing the marks of spider bites all over his body, those wounds on his white and thin arms were indeed shocking, not to mention, his left hand After being bitten by a giant spider and then bitten twice by a giant snake, the scars on his body were terrifying.

Shi Xiaochuan raised his head and wiped the sweat left on his face, his body was still a little weak, and now he felt that his eyes were turning black.

He was a little unsteady and tugged on Shi Chen's arm, his nails dug into Shi Chen's flesh, making Shi Chen grin his teeth, "Sorry, I feel a little dizzy."

Before he finished speaking the word dizzy, he had already fallen to the ground.

Shi Xiaochuan was lying on the hospital bed, after he got an injection in the hospital, he woke up from the process of pretending to be unconscious, and heard Shi Chen standing at the door of the ward arguing with the doctor.

The doctor Barabara said a lot, why the patient was bitten by many poisons, the situation should have been serious, but fortunately, these poisons produced a neutralizing effect in the patient's body and saved the patient's life, but now the situation has become more serious. It's complicated, ordinary anti-venom serum may not work, everything has to wait for hospital observation and so on.

While listening carefully, Shi Chen nodded, looking very dignified. Those doctors seemed to know his identity, and they all spoke to him very respectfully.

Shi Xiaochuan looked at the infusion tube on his arm and wanted to sit up. When Shi Chen saw him wake up, he interrupted the doctor and walked over, "Don't move, you almost died."

"I won't die." Shi Xiaochuan said softly, looking at the swelling and small wounds on his arm.

The Serpent would not let him die.

Shi Chen pulled a chair and sat by the bed, Shi Xiaochuan looked at the single ward, there is a TV and a refrigerator, it is fully equipped, it should be very expensive, he can't afford it.

"I'm fine, let's leave the hospital." Shi Xiaochuan looked at the drops of liquid dripping from the infusion tube and said, reaching out to pull out the needle.

Shi Chen grabbed his hand, "You don't want to die."

Shi Xiaochuan smiled wryly, "I have no money."

Shi Chen was taken aback, "Don't worry about this, you had an accident at school, and the school has to pay for part of the expenses, and I'll cover the rest of the expenses first, and just treat it as—" He paused for a moment, turning his head in embarrassment. Face, "Just take it as compensation for bullying you before."

Shi Xiaochuan noticed that his ears were red.

He is not the kind of person who is so lofty and rigid, so he decided to accept the kindness, and then quietly took the expense list, and then returned the money to Shi Chen after work.

The room fell into silence, "My parents didn't come, did they?" Shi Xiaochuan asked softly.

Shi Chen immediately replied, "They don't know yet, I am in a hurry to send you to the hospital, and I will inform them right away." He stood up and walked out the door.

When Shi Xiaochuan was about to step out of the door, "Don't go, I'm used to it."

He was lying on the hospital bed, with many small scars and redness on his face, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which looked very sad.

Shi Chen's hand on the door frame tightened, turned around, and sat back to the original position, "Don't worry about these things, the principal will come to see you later, sleep now."

Shi Xiaochuan nodded. In fact, he felt that his body was fine, but he didn't think of how to solve this matter for the time being, so he had to stay in the hospital first.

Early the next morning, the principal brought their homeroom teacher, Mr. Shu Youcai, to visit him. He didn't even ask him the reason for his disappearance, but told him to take a good rest and not worry about the school. Well, the school will send someone to make up lessons for him and so on to make him feel at ease.

Of course Shi Xiaochuan couldn't wish for this, he nodded while listening.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the needle-like gaze of Mr. Shu, who stood beside him and didn't say much. He seemed very surprised to see Shi Xiaochuan again, but that surprise was hidden behind the thick glasses. If it wasn't for Shi Xiaochuan's keen sense since he was a child, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Shi Xiaochuan looked at him a little strangely, Teacher Shu coughed, "The classmates in the class are also very worried about you, let me bring their greetings over, and when you get better, they will come to see you too."

"Thank you, Teacher Shu." Shi Xiaochuan nodded shyly.

After saying a few words and asking the doctor about the current situation, Principal Shi and Teacher Shu went back.

Shi Xiaochuan lay tired on the bed, covering his head with the quilt, meeting and talking to these people was almost more tiring than running in the woods all night, mainly because of his heart fatigue.

Shi Xiaochuan lay in the hospital for a week before returning to school, and was checked by those doctors over and over again. They were very unbelievable why Shi Xiaochuan survived the deep poisoning and was still alive and kicking. Another miracle on the Internet, originally intended for Shi Xiaochuan to receive more observation and treatment, but Shi Xiaochuan did not have the habit of being a guinea pig. After ventilating with Shi Chen, he walked out that afternoon under the reluctant eyes of the doctor. hospital.

When he returned to school, he was immediately surrounded by those classmates, especially Zhang Guo, whose thin body jumped up and down like a monkey, asking around, Shi Xiaochuan stood in the middle of a large group of people at a loss, he Not used to dealing with these things, the only people he talked to in the past were stone pines, and the rest was to cut down the flowers, plants, insects, fish, birds and animals on the roadside.

In the end, it was Shi Chen who got out of the siege, saying "he is in good health and needs to rest" and took him out of the encirclement. Shi Xiaochuan was not healthy because of excessive nervousness, and his face was blushing with no blood, and a layer appeared Fine beads of sweat.

Shi Chen didn't laugh at him as usual, but handed him a tissue instead.

Shi Xiaochuan carefully held the fragrant paper towel, wiped off the sweat on his face, then looked at Shi Chen with some embarrassment, "Thank you."

He is really grateful to Shi Chen now. If Shi Chen was so hateful before, then he is so friendly now.

He has been ignored and bullied all the time. Although he has not really received any abuse, the intentional avoidance, invisible alienation, strange gaze and occasional sarcastic remarks made Shi Xiaochuan feel cold from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't even know what happened, but he was treated like this. It's not that he didn't feel wronged or resentful, but after a long time, he got used to it, and gradually became numb, indifferent to everything.

However, he is still young, and his heart is not strong enough to rely on himself to live independently, as if he hid aside when he was very young and enviously watched other children play together and fight around.He still craves some kindness and warmth from others, the kind of thing that everyone has more or less, but he alone has been completely forgotten.

So as long as others treat him a little better, he will easily forget all the unhappiness in the past.

The place where they are now is the corner next to the small bungalow of the school that was left over from the Republic of China period. It is the class time and there is no one around.

Standing under a tree full of red leaves, Shi Chen is a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He shows his white teeth when he smiles. Anyone who sees his smile will unconsciously brighten his mood.

Shi Xiaochuan looked at him suspiciously, he brought himself to this corner and said that there was something very important, he waited for a long time, and saw Shi Chen glance at him from time to time, and then hesitantly remained silent for a long time.

Shi Chen scratched his head, and blurted out, "Shi Xiaochuan, I like you." Then he looked at Shi Xiaochuan nervously, waiting for his answer.

Shi Xiaochuan thought about it, and finally said slowly, "If you don't—like now, I can also treat you as a friend."

There was silence.

Shi Chen looked at the ignorant Shi Xiaochuan in frustration, "I like this kind of thing."

In the red leaves falling around him, he lowered his head, kissed Shi Xiaochuan's face, then took a step back, and whispered, "Do you understand?"

Shi Xiaochuan was shocked by his actions and his mind went blank, he just nodded blankly, expressing that he understood.

It's not that he has never heard of the word homosexuality, but he never thought that there is one around him, and it can be related to himself.

"You used to—" Shi Xiaochuan couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart.

"I was muddled at that time." Shi Chen said awkwardly, and quickly added, "But not now."

Shi Xiaochuan looked at the leaves that fell on the ground, feeling a little dazed. If he didn't accept it, would he take back the goodwill? If he accepted it?He had never thought about the relationship between two men, and he didn't think he had any thoughts about Shi Chen.

Some things cannot be forced, ambiguous, or used.

So he shook his head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." He raised his head and looked directly into Shi Chen's eyes, "If it's the kind of liking you said, then I don't like you."

Being rejected so straightforwardly, Shi Chen didn't react too radically, but said with some regret, "Well, it doesn't matter, we can still be classmates for three years, I will treat you very well, and then you can decide whether to accept or not. "

Shi Xiaochuan felt a little headache.

Then he heard a faint sound, and saw a white figure walking from the other side of the path covered by tall flowers and trees, it was Teacher She Junhan.
