5. Chapter V

When the sun's small beam fell, as expected, Yan Xi, who had long since retreated to the depths of the sewers, was hit by a mountain of pain. He lay on the ground convulsed, perhaps gaining some endurance from his previous experiences. This time, he saw his blood boiling and overflowing, and he stared at the bizarre scene with wide eyes. A second before fainting, he felt that in the process of pain, his snake tail seemed to change back into a human leg.

The fourth pain ended at dusk, and the first thing Yan Xi did when he woke up was to look at his lower body.

It's still dark black, with a snake tail with dense tiny scales. As if the sensation in pain is really just an illusion. But the snake's tail did change in pain, Yan Xi remembered that at the beginning, his snake's tail was nearly two meters long, and now at a cursory glance, his snake's tail was long on the ground, and it was definitely more than three meters long.

If you remove his human upper body, this length can also be called a python.

Yan Xi smiled sarcastically, he had just been pulled out of the pain, and now he was very wolf, and his white shirt could no longer see the color it used to be, and he was out of strength. Except for the snake's tail, his upper body was wet, Yan Xi used the place with snake scales on his abdomen to stick to the ground without a teacher, and the long snake tail behind him writhed, saving strength, and swimming towards the manhole cover at the beginning like a snake.

When he slowly returned to the manhole cover, the little pink had crawled back from the opposite bank, and the dead rat was still in place, and it usually took two or three days for snakes to digest a meal of food, and at this time the outline of the rat on the body of the little pink snake had disappeared, but part of the waist was still slightly thick.

At this time, its body was coiled in a circle, in the black sewer, and it didn't know what it was doing.

Yan Xi was extremely strong, he slowly crawled over the pink snake with great difficulty, stood up his upper body, and sat down cross-legged. Leaning lightly against the wall of the sewer, he exhaled softly the gasp that had been holding his chest, although his face was still pale, but his breath was much more stable.

His hands were still trembling slightly, and he vigorously ruffled his wet hair, revealing his forehead. He looked down at his wet and dirty shirt, twisted the sweat from the corners of his shirt and ignored it. Even though I was covered in sweat, I couldn't smell anything in the same stinky sewers.

Yan Xi leaned against the wall and regained his body, and only then did he look down and observe the small pink snake coiled together.

It turned out that the little pink snake was trapping a huge mouse with its body at this time, as if teasing the mouse, it slowly tightened its body, enjoying the whole process of the mouse from struggle to suffocation and then to death. And when it saw Yan Xi, its body paused for a moment, swaying its snake head to get close to Yan Xi, but it was reluctant to die of its prey. It spit out the snake's head in a hurry, hesitated for a long time, and the snake's big mouth opened, and it wanted to bite to death first!

"Wait a minute." Yan Xi gasped. Once again, test the pink snake. "Let the rat go."

Yan Xi watched coldly and ordered the Pink Snake to act exactly the opposite of what it wanted.

The little pink snake that was stopped by Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, it didn't understand human language, and its barren head reacted for a long time before it received the signal that Yan Xi gave him. The force that entwined the rat relaxed slightly, and as if Yan Xi had ordered, it let the rat go.

The rat, which was about to suffocate, suddenly gained oxygen, its fat belly bulged one after another, and it lay on the ground dizzy, and did not escape for a while.

Yan Xi's behavior satisfied Yan Xi, he didn't care about the life or death of the mouse, he hesitated for a moment, continued to control himself to keep his breathing steady, stretched out his hand, and touched its smooth snake head as if rewarding.

The pink snake was a little uncomfortable with this behavior at first, and was touched for a long time, receiving a little bit of affection from Yan Xi. The whole snake was very excited, and coquettishly wrapped around Yan Xi's wrist, begging for more caresses.

Yan Xi looked at the pink snake on his wrist that was pink but could not hide his cold temperament, frowned, shook his other hand twice, pinched its seven inches, and ripped it off his wrist.

The pink snake reluctantly hooked Yan Xi's wrist with its tail, and Yan Xi showed no mercy, put him on the ground, picked up the wooden stick that was put aside last time, and knocked it on the head. "Don't climb without my permission."

The pink snake threw its head on the ground aggrievedly, pretending to be pitiful.

Yan Xi turned his head in disregard, and saw that the mouse on the side was still lying on the ground with its belly bulging, and its disgusting long tail trembled with him.

Yan Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, and he used a withered stick to pull the big fat rat again.

The big mouse was moved, and the whole mouse suddenly woke up, dizzy but also agile to stand up, the big black eyes on the little head glimpsed the pink snake on the side, and suddenly shivered, and used all four legs together, scared to the point of urine.

The sound of the rat faded away, and Yan Xi leaned against the wall and didn't care. He spent the whole day tormented by pain, and when the pain was over, it was night. So, when the day's pain was over, it was as if he had been tired for three days and three nights, and he couldn't help but feel so tired that he leaned against the wall and fell asleep. The days passed like this, and I didn't know the day. The pain seems to be endless, never-ending.

However, in the dark, Yan Xi knew that such a life would definitely end one day.

The little pink snake next to him was bored around him because of Yan Xi's order, and didn't dare to approach him. Yan Xi put his hands on his abdomen.

There were originally honey-colored abs here, and it was a sexy mermaid line that went down. Now it is covered by a smear of white scales, and the dense scale of the snake spreads from white to black, from the belly to the tail of the snake.

Yan Xi's hand touched his abdomen, and his brows furrowed.

The abdomen, covered with dense white scales, seemed to bulge slightly.

The extremely bored pink snake on the side saw Yan Xi's movements, his forked tongue hissing and protruding, eager to try.

Yan Xi glanced at the little pink snake, picked up the wooden stick next to it and gently knocked it on the head, knocking it honestly. He continued to put his hands on his stomach, closed his eyes and raced against time to recover his body.

The pink snake lay on the ground depressed. The vertical pupils stared at Yan Xi, who was asleep for a while, but still didn't dare to step forward.

Evening approached dark, and the blue sky was chilly. The teachers in the university found Yan Xi's family according to the โ–กโ–ก. The sky was like this, and the surrounding people were all lit up with orange lights, only Yan Xi's house was still dark. Dingdong's doorbell rang a few times, but there was no response.

The bespectacled teacher pushed his eyes, his face a little distressed.

Tang Jiaojiao, who was passing by, took a few more glances because there was a person standing at the door of Yan Xi's house, and the teacher's familiar face immediately made her step forward to say hello, "Teacher Zhang?" โ€

Teacher Zhang turned around in surprise, "Tang Jiaojiao? โ€

Tang Jiaojiao sighed and asked, "Teacher, are you looking for Yan Xi?" โ€

Teacher Zhang sighed, "Yes! Yan Xi made a phone call and said to ask for leave. I didn't hand over the leave slip either. I haven't been to school for three days, and the school is worried about whether there is something wrong and asked me to come and have a look. โ€

"It's really something...... Tang Jiaojiao hesitated for Yan Xi and half prevaricated, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Teacher, do you know about Cheng Yue?" โ€

"Cheng Yue?" Teacher Zhang was stunned for a moment, I don't know why the topic turned to Cheng Yue? He thought about it for a moment and said, "Is that the boy who is always with Yan Xi?" He also asked for leave, called to say that he was sick, and his cousin handed him a leave slip and a certificate issued by the hospital. โ€

mentioned Cheng Yue, and Teacher Zhang thought of Yan Xi who asked Cheng Yue for a reason to leave.

"I went to see Cheng Yue a few days ago, and his head was smashed, although the person woke up, his head was wrapped like a mummy, and it looked like he was fighting with someone...... Is it a banquet? โ€

Tang Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and shook her head gently, "Yan Xi never fights with anyone. โ€

Usually someone beats someone for him. Cheng Yue is one of them who beats people for him. It's just that Cheng Yue was carried into the hospital by Yan Xi's family. She went to ask, but Cheng Yue didn't say anything. His cousin yelled to call the police, but was stopped by Cheng Yue. At first, he always wanted to run out when he got out of bed, but he was caught twice by his brother, and then he stayed in the hospital peacefully.

Tang Jiaojiao was a little uneasy, her sensitive sixth sense told her that the reason for Yan Xi's leave must be related to Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue must know something.

Probably, Cheng Yue's injury was ......

Tang Jiaojiao's eyelids jumped, comforted herself, and said to Teacher Zhang, and also to herself, Tang Jiaojiao added, "Cheng Yue always plays with Yan Xi, and they have a good relationship." โ€

Teacher Zhang shook his head, noncommittal, "Do you know where Yan Xi went?" โ€

Tang Jiaojiao shook her head dryly, "I don't know either." "When his parents died early, Yan Xi was always assertive. Even if she grew up with Yan Xi since she was a child, she was the closest person to Yan Xi in the eyes of everyone, and she felt that Yan Xi was far away from her.

Teacher Zhang sighed again and instructed, "No matter what, you are Yan Xi's neighbor, and when he comes back, you have to call me immediately." โ€

Tang Jiaojiao nodded.

Standing at the door of Yan Xi's house, the two chatted a few more words. Teacher Zhang saw that the sky was as dark as night. The street lights on the corners have also been lit up. He waved his hand and said goodbye to Tang Jiaojiao's retention.

The black leather shoes stepped on the concrete, and the slightly hurried pace faded away. Tang Jiaojiao still stayed in place, thinking about Yan Xi's affairs. In the building next to it, the smell of fragrant food wafted to the street, and Tang Jiaojiao's mother ate in her throat. The man in front of the door sighed and turned to leave.

The door opened and closed, and in the inky night, thousands of lights were dotted. Whispers of laughter crept out of the orange light and dissipated into the cold night; dissipate in unknown streets; Dissipate in empty alleys.

The dark and smelly sewer, this is already another world, Yan Xi, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at some point, and his dark eyes reflected the dark night. In this miserable night, the cold moonlight that had been abandoned sneaked in to accompany him, and the conversation outside drifted in with the playful breeze, blowing away most of the warmth.
