snake wife

As the sun sets, the shadows of the trees dance.In Tianhu Park, bluestone paves the road, flowers bloom on both sides, and willow branches sway in the wind.

Many couples held hands, enjoying this rare comfort.However, this comfort only lasted for a moment, and was interrupted by a rush of footsteps.

"Sorry, please let me go!"

The young man looked flustered, holding his mobile phone in one hand and a wicker in the other, running desperately on the bluestone road.

Sweat soaked the young man's clothes. When the young man looked back, he saw a giant centipede exuding black air, rushing towards him.

The young man's left foot was hooked by the centipede's front paw, his whole body staggered a few steps, and then he lost his balance and fell on the grass.

"Hey, young man, everyone is responsible for protecting the environment. Don't step on the lawn casually. Didn't your kindergarten teacher teach you?"

The young man was startled and quickly got up from the grass.He looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an old man in a security uniform standing at the tail of the centipede.

The old man was holding a broom in his hand, completely unaware that a giant centipede more than three meters long lay in front of him.

The centipede heard the movement, and immediately used the tentacles on the top of its head to strangle the old man's neck.

The young man had a bad heart and hurriedly said to the uncle:

"Master, can I borrow your broom?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he waved the wicker to attract the centipede's attention.

The centipede let out a sharp and ear-piercing cry, turned around and crawled towards the young man.Then I saw it opened its mouth and sprayed out a large amount of corrosive mucus.

The young man dodges and evades, but in the eyes of outsiders, his behavior is like a madman dancing, which is indescribably weird and funny.

The old man looked around, hesitated for a moment, and threw the broom in his hand to the young man.

"Young man, it's done."

"Thank you, sir!"

The young man stuffed the phone into his pocket, and then jumped to catch the broom that was flying towards him.

At the same time, the centipede suddenly rolled up, then exposed two rows of sharp teeth, and bit down on the young man's calf.

The young man tilted his body, and with the inertia of his body falling, he stabbed the end of the broom hard into the centipede's throat.Then, with the wicker in his hand, he quickly dispersed the black air suspended around the centipede.

The black air dissipated, and the centipede's body slowly shrank until it became the thickness of a finger before stopping.

The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he squatted down slowly on the ground, then propped his chin with one hand, looked at the centipede with white bubbles spitting out his mouth and said:

"I took away the turbidity from your body, you should have regained your sanity now, take good care of your wounds, and stop attacking humans."

The centipede's tentacles trembled twice, then stood up like a human being, bowed respectfully to the young man three times, and crawled into the grass with a 'whoosh' sound.

"Boy, are you all right?"

The old man frowned and walked to the side of the young man. He couldn't help but think in his heart, the young man in front of him was so white and clean, why his brain didn't seem to work well, and he squatted on the ground talking to a centipede at such a young age.

"I'm all right, old man, thank you for lending me the broom."

The young man picked up the broom that fell on the ground, stood up, and returned the broom to the old man.

The old man gave the young man a strange look, then grabbed the broom, and walked away in three steps.

The young man smiled helplessly, he didn't pay attention to the old man's contemptuous eyes at all.

Because in the past 19 years, he has gotten used to this kind of eyes that look at him like a monster.

The cool evening wind blew through the young man's hair, and the young man tugged at his sweat-soaked collar, revealing the crystal-clear snake-patterned jade pendant.

The young man turned to look at the crowd, then scratched his head embarrassingly, and said with a smile:

"Well... I want to ask, do you know how to get to the basketball court in Tianhu Park?"

Passers-by shook their heads one after another, and all dispersed like a plague god.

The young man sighed, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the navigation map, and continued to wander around the park like a dizzy duck.

The young man's name is Shen Ci, and he is a sophomore majoring in computer engineering technology at Qingbei University.

There is still less than half a month before the start of school, and most of the non-local students have begun to return to school one after another, including Shen Ci's few friends—Zhou Yunze.

As the school is being remodeled, construction materials are piled all over the playground.So Zhou Yunze had nothing to do, and asked Shen to resign from the park near the school to play basketball together.

For ordinary people, it is very easy to go to a familiar place.However, for Shen Ci, it was even more difficult than reaching the sky.

Shen Ci is a road idiot, and he is the kind of super road idiot who can't tell where the north, south, east, and west are.

His road-crazy attribute was not born with him, but because of the sequelae of a strange disease he had when he was young.

Shen Ci has been able to see ghosts and ghosts since he was a child, and he can even communicate with them.

When he was nine years old, a snake scale grew on his right ankle.His body temperature plummeted, his legs lost feeling, and he was about to die.

The villagers in Baihua Village thought that he would not live to be ten years old, even his parents thought so.When he was dying, his parents even prepared a red coffin for him.

The world is impermanent, and no one expected that Shen Ci not only did not die, but also regained consciousness in his legs, and he can walk normally.

He was able to survive, thanks to a fairy brother who came to the family.Although he couldn't remember Brother Shenxian's appearance clearly, he vaguely remembered Brother Shenxian wearing ancient clothes and holding a yellow oil-paper umbrella.

Brother Shenxian hung his portable jade pendant around his neck, and signed a contract with him, telling him that the jade pendant could extend his life in exchange for marrying him on his 20th birthday.

After his parents learned of the incident, they sent him to the home of Mistress Wang in the next village overnight.

Witch Wang said that his fortune-telling was related to the fairy family, and Witch Wang couldn't tell whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Shen's mother became anxious when she heard that, how old is his son, how can he marry a man.So after much deliberation, his parents decided to leave this place of right and wrong and brought him to Qingbei City.

From elementary school to college admission, Shen Ci never left Qingbei City.For some unknown reason, as he got older, his sense of direction became worse and worse, and the number of times he was attacked by ghosts and evil spirits became more and more frequent.

No, as soon as he entered Tianhu Park, he was attacked by a centipede covered in foul air.

The so-called turbidity refers to the resentment emanating from the unjustly deceased.As early as his freshman year, he heard that a female body was found on the lake in Tianhu Park.And this centipede became extremely aggressive because it was corroded by the resentment emanating from the female corpse.

Ghosts and evil spirits will not attack humans for no reason, unless the human has any connection with them.But his situation is quite special. Goddess Wang said that in the eyes of those ghosts and evil spirits, he is equivalent to a good panacea.

Anyone who saw him wanted to swallow him into their stomachs to improve their cultivation.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.He was attacked by ghosts and evil spirits more times, and gradually learned some ways to save his life.

As night fell, the street lights in the park flickered on.

Shen Ci walked around the park three times, but couldn't find where the basketball court was.Just when he was at a loss, his mobile phone rang suddenly.

Seeing that the phone had only 5% power left, Shen Ci connected the phone without any hesitation.

"where?"

Zhou Yunze's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Tianhu Park." Shen Ci said.

"I really admire you. You can get lost near the school. Send me the location, and I'll come pick you up now." Zhou Yunze sighed helplessly.

"Thank you, Yunze!"

Shen Ci hung up the phone, and while the phone still had 2% power, he quickly opened WeChat and sent Zhou Yunze a location message.

Not long after he sent the location, the phone automatically shut down and went black.

"Hey, it's turned off. I should have brought a power bank."

Shen Ci sighed, then walked to the bench behind him and sat down.He put away his mobile phone, and then took out a snake pattern jade pendant from his collar.

This jade pendant has been hanging around his neck for nearly ten years, and counting the days, it will be his 20th birthday in three days.

Since he signed a contract with Brother Shenxian, he has never seen Brother Shenxian again.If it weren't for this jade pendant hanging around his neck, he would have thought it was an illusory dream.

He admits whether it is a blessing or a curse, because for him, the most important thing is to live every day well.

The time to close the park is approaching, and the originally noisy park gradually quieted down.

Perhaps it was too much energy spent avoiding the centipede.Or maybe it's more likely to make people feel drowsy under this dim light.Shen Ci leaned on the back of the chair, took two breaths in a row, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

White mist filled the air, and dark clouds covered the moon.A faint sandalwood drifted with the wind, and the warm raindrops slowly dripped between his brows.

He opened his eyes half asleep and half awake, and heard a rustling 'click' sound coming from his ears.

That's the sound of raindrops falling on oil-paper umbrellas.

He couldn't see the scene behind him, but he could feel a man standing behind him.

The rain dripped on the man's body, but the man didn't take it seriously, and shone all the oil-paper umbrellas in his hand on top of him.

"who are you?"

He opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.His body couldn't move, as if he was in a dream, but also in reality.

For a while, his thoughts gradually became chaotic.

The man's cold fingers caressed his neck, then slowly slid behind his ears along his Adam's apple.

"Shen Ci."

The man whispered his name, then took his right hand, and handed the oil-paper umbrella to him.

His body seemed to be bewitched, and he held the oiled paper umbrella that the man handed over recklessly.The man whispered in his ear, and his long hair like ink fell on his shoulders.

"It's going to rain heavily, so go back early."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace as the clouds and mist dissipated.

'Patapata—'

The rain was getting heavier, Shen Ci blinked, and then looked at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand with a confused face.

Just as he was dazed, a young man with a transparent plastic umbrella ran up to him in the heavy rain.The young man was wearing a black basketball uniform, holding a mobile phone in one hand, an umbrella in the other, and a sports bag on his shoulder.

"Yunze?"

"I finally found you. It's raining heavily, why don't you find a place to shelter from the rain?" Zhou Yunze said.

"Sorry, I fell asleep just now."

Shen Ci blinked, then held the handle of the oil-paper umbrella with both hands, and stood up slowly.Zhou Yunze was used to Shen Ci's rough nerves.

"Hey, my brother really owed you in his previous life. It's raining heavily, let's go, I'll take you back to the dormitory, lest you get lost halfway."

Zhou Yunze shrugged, then glanced at the oil-paper umbrella, and said in surprise:

"Where did you get the oil-paper umbrella in your hand?"

Shen Ci tilted his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yunze uncertainly and said:

"I seemed to have a strange dream just now."
