Chapter 3 Snake God Chu Yuan
I was struck by lightning, I lost all sleepiness in an instant, and my mind went blank.

After getting dressed tremblingly, she hurried towards the river. My aunt was crying and talking about what happened in the early morning.

Grandma folded the quilt neatly in the middle of the night, then tidied up her clothes, then sat at the gate and stared blankly at the dark outside of the courtyard.

The aunt choked up and said, "When your grandma went out on crutches, I saw a black snake coiled around her body."

I was so frightened that I kept saying it was impossible, and said to my aunt, "Why don't you stop her!"

"She couldn't sleep, she just talked about going out, who would have thought..." My aunt looked sad, and even if my heart hurts, I couldn't say anything more to her.

My aunt and I arrived at the Yuanjiang River in grief. The water mist curled up on the surface of the river, and the night was so thick that there was not even half a shadow on the river beach.

People drown in the Yuan River every year, but the bodies are rarely found. If grandma really threw herself into the river, the bodies would probably never be found.

"Go downstream and have a look!"

But I didn't want to give up, and with a glimmer of hope in my heart, I hurried downstream along the river bank.

When I walked to the river, I picked up a cloth shoe with a white bottom and black top. When I held it in my hand, I couldn't stop shaking.

The aunt said in a sobbing voice, "If your grandma threw herself into the river, it's like changing her life with you!"

Once there is a person who belongs to the snake in our family, we must sacrifice to the snake god, otherwise we must pay for our blood relatives.

Grandma said that this year is the Year of the Gengzi Snake, and she wants to make a deal for me.

It's hard for me to accept this fact. Is this how grandma ended up for me?
I couldn't find my grandma's body, so I blamed myself so much, I squatted by the river and couldn't help crying.

But after a while, my aunt patted my shoulder and said nervously: "Yaoyao, look quickly..."

Auntie pointed at Jiang Xin with a frightened expression.

I looked towards the misty river center, and vaguely saw ripples, a person lying on the river, slowly drifting towards the river beach.

As we got closer, I could clearly see that the person lying on the river was grandma.

"what!"

The aunt let out a scream, and then covered her mouth tightly, her face extremely terrified.

I took a closer look and couldn't stop taking a deep breath.

Thousands of snakes of different sizes are densely packed, twisting their bodies under the surface of the river. They are carrying grandma's body towards the river beach.

I was so frightened by this scene that I lost my mind completely. I didn't recover until my grandma's body reached the river beach and the snakes dispersed.

"grandmother!"

Grandma was wet all over, lying on the river beach without any movement.

It wasn't until dawn that my aunt called the villagers to carry grandma's body back.

Strangely, after carrying grandma's body back, her whole body was curled up into a ball, her spine bent like a coiled snake's body, her eyes were wide and protruding, and her pupils were in the vertical shape of snake eyes.

A coffin was set up in the yard, and a group of people pointed around the dilapidated yard. I heard my aunt sobbing softly, and there was a snake smell in the air.

In a trance, I saw a small yellow-green snake crawling out of the crack in grandma's mouth, with black spots on its body and two yellow stripes on its head.

A pair of snake pupils were filled with scarlet, raised his head and hissed at me with snake letters.

The busy people around didn't notice the strangeness of the corpse, so I looked away in a panic.

When it was time for mourning, my aunt knelt down in front of the coffin and wailed loudly. I lowered my head and dared not look at grandma again.

Just thinking about my grandma's love for me in the past, my nose became sour, and my eye sockets became moist instantly, and my eyes were rubbed by tears.

According to the rules of the village, the body must be buried for three days after death.

I didn't stay in the mourning hall in the second half of the night, and stayed up all night. My aunt asked me to go back to my room to lie down.

I was lying on the bed, and when I was drowsy, I always felt that something cold was entangled with me, swimming slipperily and slowly on my body.

Accompanied by thick scales scratching...

I wanted to turn over, but found that my body was heavy, as if wrapped in something cold...

Originally, my consciousness was drowsy, but I didn't wake up until the cold and slippery snake letter wrapped my lips.

This is the second time I've seen this man.

The body is snake-tailed, and the temperament is gorgeous.

His snake tail wrapped around my legs, the black scales shone coldly, and a huge black shadow enveloped me.

"Hide from me?"

His voice whispered in my ears, cool and mellow, it made my ears a little itchy.

What's more, when he was talking, the snake's body leaned forward, and the tip of its nose rubbed against my face.

Goosebumps covered my whole body, and I shrank back in fright as I hugged the quilt tightly.

"Who are you?" I panicked.

"What are you so afraid of?" He said in a cold tone, licked my face with the cold and slippery letter, and continued: "I want to kill you, but it's easy."

With dark green snake eyes, he stared at me with a cold light, "I can bite off your fragile neck, or tear you to pieces."

"However, there is a very painful way to die." He gently tightened the snake tail wrapped around my waist, "I tighten the force around your waist bit by bit, you will slowly feel suffocated, your lungs Your body gets squeezed, there's less and less air in it, and eventually, your guts shatter, and you're not even dead yet."

His snake tail rolled inward violently, my abdomen was squeezed by a sudden force, and it hurt like a fire for a moment.

I coughed violently and coughed up tears.

And he looked at me quietly for a while, then suddenly relieved himself.

"Heh!" He suddenly chuckled coldly and hoarsely.

The huge snake turned into a black shadow, and a wickedly handsome man in black shirt came out from the shadow. His handsome face was even more cold like that of a banished fairy, and his deep black eyes had an undisguised coldness.

He grabbed my cheek without any force, just forced me to look at him.

"You...you are that black snake?" I stiffened and trembled all over.

"It's not stupid!"

His lips were slightly raised, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air into ice.

I was trembling and uneasy, but I felt very sad and angry in my heart, "Why did you kill my grandma, she worshiped you for more than ten years!"

His bone-chilling hand caressed my cheek and said: "In order to save your life, Bai Jianshan took my inner alchemy when I was the weakest after I molted my skin and turned into a jellyfish. He deserves death."

"Although the physical body was destroyed, I have already cultivated the three souls. The snake spirit has been attached to the inner alchemy to recuperate and live. Although your grandmother said to worship, she was afraid that I would take your life. For more than ten years, you have been making you drink the snake-repelling talisman Water, just want to restrain me with incense ash water."

His dark green pupils exuded a ghostly cold light in the darkness, he leaned halfway in front of the bed, and sneered, "Furthermore, your grandma's death has nothing to do with me. Many, I just want to save your life in this way."

He spoke very slowly, revealing a cold contempt and disdain, "Speaking of which, you should be grateful to me, there are thousands of limbs and bones at the bottom of the Yuanjiang River, if I hadn't been kind enough to send her body ashore, I'm afraid it would have been over by now. They were devoured by rotten fish and shrimp."

The slender and cool fingers covered my lips, twitched them lightly, slid across the lips, and grabbed my chin fiercely, the pain was excruciating.

I was forced to look up at her resentfully.

"It's a bit idiotic to want to write off the sacrifices of more than ten years." He curled his lips and stretched out his hand to my waist, with a smile that was not a smile.

"What are you going to do?" The coldness on the man's body, which was like the coldness of a corpse, immediately made me panic.

He leaned over, spit out the scarlet snake letter wrapped around my earlobe, and said in a cold and hoarse voice: "What do you think should be done?"

He didn't care about what I wanted to say, and suddenly moved his hands too much. The oppressive and difficult feeling made me burst into tears.

"My name is Chu Yuan!" He smiled coldly, buried in my neck, hissed, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Remember, from now on, you are mine, and you can only be mine."

The lights flickered, as if blown out by the cold wind, and disappeared along with the cold man.

The buzzing sound fell into my ears, as if it was coming from the yard, and my head only felt more and more painful.

I was tossing and turning restlessly on the bed, the voice became more and more urgent, and my mind became a little dull.

Then, slowly lose consciousness.
