16. Chapter II
At this time, the vigil was Oda, and both Koyanagi and the captain were already asleep, and he was alone and bored. He saw Ruodie on the bed wake up. He looked at the time and whispered, "What's wrong?" There is still some time before dawn and a little more sleep. โ
Ruodie got up from the bed in embarrassment, she didn't want to wake up by herself, but was awakened by urine. Pursing her lips, she looked at Oda God โกโก stop talking.
Oda wondered, "What's wrong?" โ
Ruodie's face turned red, and she leaned over to Xiao Tian and whispered her situation to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian thinks it's nothing, but there is no special bathroom in this room, and if you want to go to the toilet, you still have to go out. He thought of the snake outside the house, and his heart was a little worried, but he was also embarrassed to let a girl go alone. He hesitated slightly, and then decided to go with Ruodie.
He discussed it with Ruodie, and the two of them removed the luggage that was blocked at the door, opened the door gently, and walked out.
The living room of this house seems to be lit all year round, and the dim light in the corridor is dimly sprinkled, and the two of them see that there is no one in the living room, only a few snakes perched. They cautiously exited the living room, not knowing where the bathroom was, so Ruodie prepared to follow the door to find them one by one.
Xiao Tian stopped Ruodie and remembered the child's instructions, "What if I accidentally trespass into another room?" โ
But Ruodie really couldn't help it. "What then?"
Xiao Tian was silent, people have three urgencies, and they really can't wait.
The two of them had no choice but to look at each closed door carefully.
"It's... Food ......"
Generally, the master bedroom has a bathroom, and the bathroom will have a peculiar smell, so the room that is generally far away from the living room will be a bathroom, and they tentatively opened the room that is most likely to be a bathroom. But I didn't expect it to be a storage room, and there was a room full of food in it.
Xiao Tian and Ruodie glanced at each other, but they couldn't help swallowing their saliva, in the deep mountains, they hadn't eaten properly for several days, and now when they saw the food in front of them, their eyes instantly turned red.
Ruodie may still be a little shaken, but Oda relies on strong self-control to close the door.
"Hurry up and find the bathroom! It is already rude to open the door of the master's house casually. โ
Ruodie let out a disappointed sigh, and she didn't think much about it, and opened the door next to the food.
The wooden door creaked, and as soon as a small crack was opened, a strange sound reached the ears of the two of them.
Someone?
Ruodie subconsciously glanced into the room and reflexively closed the door in her hand.
The brown door panel blocked her eyes, but Ruodie's mind was the scene she had just glimpsed at her. She turned around and walked forward, suspicious of herself, and asked Xiao Tian, "You just saw... What's up? โ
Oda swallowed.
"I think I saw a big octopus!"
"I seem to have seen a big python."
The two were silent, then laughed dryly.
"Sure enough, it's wrong, let's hurry up and find the toilet!"
"En. Yeah! โ
The two turned around and almost bumped into the child who appeared in front of them at some point.
"What are you doing?"
It was still the same eeriely beautiful face, and the white snake was still wrapped around its shoulders, and its pupils looked at the two of them deeply.
The two of them suddenly felt a little weak.
Oda smiled and explained, "We want to go to the toilet, but we don't know where the toilet is. โ
The pretty child stared at them suspiciously for two or three seconds before turning around and taking them to the toilet. The two followed the strange child to the toilet in fear, and with him following, the two returned to the room without squinting.
Closing the door, feeling the distant sound of the child outside the door drifting away without a sound, the two of them breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
I don't know why, but I always feel that kid is terrible. There is always a feeling of handstand when he looks at him.
The two rubbed the goosebumps that rose on their bodies, completely lost their sleepiness, and looked forward to the dawn.
And in the second room they had just opened, Yan Xi, who was lying on the bed, also slowly opened his eyes, he was no longer a person, he only had a human head, his limbs and torso were constantly changing strangely, one would merge, one would separate, one would become hard, one would become soft, and after a while he began to grow scales again.
If a human sees it, it will definitely cry out as a monster.
Yan Xi felt the uncontrolled changes in his body and knew that another seizure was over.
The next day, it was dawn.
The people who were traveling woke up one after another. Xiao Tian hesitated, thought about it, shook his head at Ruodie, who was about to speak, and swallowed the words he wanted to say into his stomach.
The captain didn't notice anything unusual, they opened the curtains of the room, and the dazzling sunlight from the mountains poured in, dispelling the anxiety of the previous night.
However, thinking of the group of snakes they saw yesterday, everyone was still a little apprehensive. With this feeling in mind, they walked out of the room and everyone came to the living room.
To their surprise, the snakes that had spread all over the living room yesterday were gone, and the children they had seen yesterday were gone. Instead of appearing in front of them was a handsome man, more beautiful than the stars they saw on TV, not at all like a family in the mountains.
When the other party saw them appear, he nodded slightly, and it was a picture of no surprise.
The captain remembered the act of coaxing the child to let them in yesterday, and his face turned red.
"Are you the dad that your child said yesterday? I'm sorry, we originally wanted to travel to this mountain, but we didn't expect to get lost. In desperation, I can only disturb you... I'm sorry. โ
The handsome man smiled slightly, and the atmosphere that had made the captain feel stressed dissipated.
"It's nothing, if I had known yesterday, I would have let you in. The child is still young, ignorant and neglectful. โ
Hearing this, everyone waved their hands again and again, and their hearts couldn't help but be embarrassed, yesterday they were still muttering about what the hell this place is, and today they found that the owner was so kind and pleasant, and they couldn't help but be ashamed.
"I heard from my child about your situation yesterday, and I know that you must not have eaten. That's why I prepared a meal early in the morning, so let's eat after washing up if you don't like it. โ
At this time, everyone saw that there was a rich morning behind the man, and everyone who had been hungry for several days couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and hurriedly said that they didn't dislike it, they washed up and sat down.
At the beginning, everyone still held the heart of a villain and refused to move the chopsticks, but when they saw that the owner ate it without any guilt, they couldn't help but move the chopsticks anymore, and when the first person fell, the rest of the people naturally ate it.
The men were probably friends at the dinner table, but while they were eating breakfast, the captain and the others already had a good impression of the owner. Not only did they know the direction of going out of the mountain, but they also knew that the owner's family was a snake lover and crazy person, so they raised a lot of snakes at home.
I heard from the owner's family that they still have a huge python at home. Pythons were raised by them since childhood, close to people, and generally slept with their owners at night, last night, the child said not to open the door randomly, not to disturb the father. It is estimated that people are afraid of disturbing the bite of the python.
Figuring out the reason, everyone was also relieved about last night, secretly feeling that they were nervous, they ate and drank enough one by one, and took a lot of food at the master's house, followed the direction of the other party's way out of the mountain, carried the package, grateful, and prepared to leave.
Standing at the door, before leaving, the captain suddenly remembered the child from last night. During the conversation, he learned that the child's nickname was Ah Xue.
"By the way, I don't know where Ah Xue went, but I really want to thank him."
Xiao Yanagi nodded on the side, saying that the child was really beautiful, maybe he was in such a bad environment yesterday, so it looked a little weird.
When the host heard the two of them mention Ah Xue, the smile on his face faded imperceptibly. But he still explained with a smile, "Maybe someone came yesterday and slept too late." It hasn't gotten up yet. โ
Xiao Yanagi nodded and said with a smile, "Then don't call him, let him sleep a little longer." โ
"This is my phone, if you want to come to City B in the future, remember to call me." The captain left his phone number behind.
The man smiled and nodded.
After everyone finished greetings, Xiao Tian, who went to the toilet, also returned, and when he saw that the number of people was all there, the captain waved goodbye.
The man saw the group drifting away, and the smile on his face faded little by little, and gradually returned to an expressionless appearance.
On the other side, after walking for a while, Oda looked back and saw the hut they had come out of looming in the forest, gradually leaving it behind. Only then did his face show a look of fear and surprise.
"Captain, which owner said that he was obsessed with snakes and kept so many snakes at home, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Oda thought for a moment, "But, how could he ...... if he loves snakes and is obsessed?"
But if he loves snakes and is obsessed, how can he put all the snakes into the bathtub?
Oda remembered that when he went to the toilet, he found a group of snakes in the bathtub, regardless of their color or size, all of them were thrown into it, entangled, squeezed, and even bitten each other in it. There is no sign of the owner's affection for them. What made Oda even more strange was that no matter how crowded the bathtub was, the snakes refused to step out of the tub.
It's as if someone has ordered him to hide inside and not to come out.
On the other side, the male host, Yan Xi, saw their figures gradually disappearing, and turned back to the room. Suddenly, he paused, and his mind flashed with the evasive gaze that Xiao Tian had seen when he came out. With a slightly dull look in his eyes, he immediately walked quickly into the room.
