After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

At that time, all the roses on the hillside were withered, and everything was withering. Xuan Ming had to stop the scheduled flower delivery program for now.

Wan Zhong had been trying hard to find food and shelter suitable for the winter, but had found nothing. The only thing to do was to eat less of the food available and chop more firewood.

He dug a fire pit under the windbreak wall outside the shack and placed hot stones in it to keep warm. He didn’t want the strong wind at night to directly set the shack on fire.

When Xuan Ming used his tail to take him out of the collapsed shack, Wan Zhong was dreaming that he was sleeping on the hot bed at home, sleeping sweetly and not knowing anything else. It wasn’t until Xuan Ming carried him down the flaming hillside, and the heat wave burned his eyes, that he realized there was a fire.

Fortunately, Xuan Ming found out in time, and Wan Zhong was not injured, only a small section of his hair was burnt.

He was carried back to the pit in the snake nest by Xuan Ming and placed in the pit. He hugged his knees and whispered: “Thank you…” Not only did he save him, but he also helped him take out the food and the chicken skins.

Xuan Ming cut off the ends of Wan Zhong’s burned hair, wiped the ashes off his face, and said, “If I had discovered it earlier, your hair wouldn’t be like this.” There was actually a hint of apology in his usually cold voice.

Wan Zhong felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

Xuan Ming saw his spouse’s panicked expression and thought he must have been frightened. While feeling loving and affectionate, he couldn’t help but want to kiss him. But as soon as he brought his lips to him, Wan Zhong turned his head to the other side. He was such a heartless person…

Xuan Ming retreated and kissed Wan Zhong’s hair and said to him: “It’s still dark, let’s sleep a little longer.”

Wan Zhong felt a little cold and fumbled to cover himself with the soft grass spread in the pit. Xuan Ming asked in his ear: “Cold?”

Wan Zhong nodded, and then he got a small rug woven from soft grass. It was soft and warm when covering him. He curled himself up into the blanket, and by the feel of his hand, he knew that Xuan Ming’s weaving skills had improved a lot. After sighing in comfort, he fell into a deep sleep.

Xuan Ming lowered his eyes slightly, and looking at Wan Zhong was still frowning and looked extremely sad while sleeping. He asked the mirror.

[Mirror, mirror, why does he get so unhappy every day?]

.

Xuan Ming made a small mattress for his wife then next day.

In this way, Wan Zhong, who was sleeping more comfortably, gestured to Xuan Ming again, indicating that he still needed a pillow.

Xuan Ming made a small rectangular bag with soft grass, filled it with black soil, and turned it into a pillow.

He also made many roses and placed them in the pit where they slept together.

Wan Zhong liked his new three-piece suit, but as the weather got colder, he had to take off his snake skin.

He tried to make clothes from the skin of the three-legged chicken, but Xuan Ming’s attitude was the same as the black snake. He tore the chicken skin into pieces with a few flicks of his tail, and even his movements when sweeping down the trash off the cliff were exactly the same.

Wan Zhong looked at Xuan Ming, who was pulling up trees randomly out of anger, and looked at the mirror he held on his fingertips, and felt that long-lost familiar feeling again.

There was a trace of suspicion in his heart. Wan Zhong couldn’t believe it, but Xuan Ming, who not allow him to wear other animal skins, gave him the black snake’s skin and said to him: “If you are cold, you can wear more layers. Wrap yourself in several layers.”

Snake skin was cold. Wearing snake skin on such a day was like using ice to keep warm. No matter how many layers he wrapped himself in, it wouldn’t work.

And… why did Xuan Ming, who was so possessive, let himself wear the black snake’s skin? Could it be that just because the black snake was his pet, he didn’t care? It stood to reason that between creatures of the same gender, territorial awareness should be clearer and more mutually exclusive.

Wan Zhong felt like there were screws and screwdrivers stuck in his head, and if he turned it one more time, it would explode with a “bang!”

He didn’t dare to think about it any further, and he began to unconsciously observe Xuan Ming’s every move.

Except unlike the black snake, who liked to stay out at night, Xuan Ming also liked to play with water and mud. He liked to wrap his tail around him when sleeping and snore softly. He especially cherished the black snake’s mirror and it never left his hand.

It had been a long time since he talked about it, but it seemed that Xuan Ming and the black snake had never appeared together…

.

Wan Zhong hugged Xuan Ming’s tail for the first time and looked at it carefully.

The color and luster of the tail were exactly the same as those of the black snake. Apart from the difference in thickness, even the position of the reverse scales was the same.

Wan Zhong’s heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively kissed the smooth and slightly hot scales on Xuan Ming’s tail. Xuan Ming’s body immediately bounced upward, then he put him in his arms and rubbed his face affectionately. Even the reaction was similar to that black snake.

“Why do you suddenly want to get close to my tail today?” Xuan Ming asked fondly while holding Wan Zhong in his arms.

Wan Zhong’s lips were pale and almost lost their color. He heard himself stammering: “Hei, where’s the black snake? I, I want to see it. I miss it. Well, I haven’t seen it in a long time, I really, really want to see it.”

Xuan Ming, who was so angry when Wan Zhong wore a piece of chicken skin, actually smiled happily after Wan Zhong said this.

Wan Zhong didn’t wait for him to refuse and kissed the reverse scale again, and asked Xuan Ming with gentle eyes: “Let me see him, okay?”

Xuan Ming could not bear this and immediately kissed his spouse back, and happily agreed: “Wait a minute, hold on, I’ll find it for you right now.”

After Xuan Ming finished speaking, he took the mirror and walked away.

.

After a while… the black snake came back, spitting out snake tongue and twisting around the mirror.
