Tang Ning was completely stupid.
“Tang Ning” saved Du Feng?! Doesn’t this correspond to the setting in the Farmer and the Snake card?! Is Du Feng the snake?!
Du Feng was still immersed in excitement. His originally dark eyes were now bright. "It's you, it's you."
He was so happy that he was at a loss for words. He seemed to really want to touch Tangning. Seeing Tangning's alert and confused expression, Du Feng tried his best to restrain himself, like a big dog who wanted to get close to humans. "The first time I saw you, I wondered if it was you. Was it you who did that back then?"
Tang Ning was completely stunned. He and Du Feng were in the office. Besides him, other players were also there, but he and Du Feng were sitting next to each other. Players who were sitting further away didn't know the setting of the snake card. Seeing Du Feng so excited, most of them just looked up at him and then continued to watch the video. Only Lin Yun was looking at them intently.
Du Feng was still excited and said, "It's yours, so good!"
Tang Ning didn't know what expression to make. He still found it hard to believe that this young man who was so happy that his feather earrings kept shaking would kill him in the future.
Did I recognize the wrong person
Tang Ning was only in elementary school when he went to Miaojiang. Judging from Du Feng's expression, he probably didn't tell the name of the person who saved him, otherwise he would have told the identity of the person when he first got Tang Ning's name.
Tangning typed, "How did you recognize it?"
Du Feng listened carefully to the words coming out of Tangning's phone, as if he was taking her words as his only command. "When you were a child, you were very-very-very pretty!"
Du Feng used three "very"s in a row, his eyes sparkling, "When you were little, you had very fair skin and big eyes. When you rescued me from drowning, I was thinking at that time—"
There was a book in Du Feng's house that no one read. He was illiterate and only looked at the pictures when he flipped through it. There was a naked child with wings on it. He asked his father what that was.
Father said this is an angel, and he looks strange. His father told him that angels are all very beautiful, but humans cannot draw them.
"Is this an angel?" Du Feng's accent was thick and Tang Ning didn't understand what he was saying at first. He sat in front of Du Feng blankly. His handsome face was as pure as an angel when his expression was blank.
"I woke up later, but couldn't find him anymore. Sometimes I thought it was a dream because everyone told me that the person I saved was..." Du Feng stopped here. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was an elder."
"When I saw you again, I thought you were the one who saved me." Du Feng admitted, "That's when I ran over to ask you if you had been to that river when you were a child. Maybe I looked too excited at the time and you got scared. You didn't tell me and you looked scared."
At this point, Du Feng noticed that Tangning's eyelashes were trembling, as if she was a little afraid of him. Du Feng quickly sat down on the chair, not letting his upper body move too close to Tangning. He also placed his hands on his knees and said obediently, "Don't you remember?"
Tangning blinked twice quickly and subconsciously looked at Lin Yun. Lin Yun pointed at her phone. Tangning lowered his head and saw the script Lin Yun had sent him.
Tangning closed the chat interface and typed under Du Feng's expectant gaze, "It happened so long ago that I really don't remember it. How about this, go ask the adults here and see if they know anything about it? I can make a video call to the elders and ask Lin Yun to help."
Du Feng nodded quickly and whispered, "I think it's you."
When you don’t know anything, just smile.
Tangning pursed her lips, her body a little stiff. Lin Yun quickly walked over and pretended that she had just heard Tangning's voice message, "I haven't talked to my uncle and aunt in a while. I want to meet them, too."
After that, Lin Yun took Tang Ning out of the office temporarily.
Tangning and Lin Yun walked to a secluded place. Tangning quickly typed, "What should I do? Du Feng is actually a snake!"
"Ask the parents of this body of yours first."
Tangning said, "He passed away in an accident just like his parents."
Lin Yun changed the topic: "Then ask other elders. If your child saves another child, such a heroic act will usually be spread among relatives. Take out your phone and check if there is a family group or something like that? If there is, ask in the group."
Tangning quickly asked. After a while, someone in the chat group asked, "Why did you come up with this name, Xiaoning?"
Lin Yun took the phone and spoke for Tangning, "I just came back from a business trip to Miaojiang, and suddenly I remembered this."
The elder named "Brilliant Sunshine" said, "Ah, are you feeling sick again? If only you hadn't rescued that person, you would have been in good health when you were little. Your mother wanted to send you to learn swimming, but you saved someone else and ruined your health."
Another elder said, "Why are you saying such things? Xiao Ning, ignore your uncle. How is your work going recently?"
It seems that he saved people in Miaojiang.
Moreover, Tang Ning's poor health seemed to be related to the person he saved that year.
What happened that year
Lin Yun asked: "Aunt, I suddenly can't remember what happened when I rescued people. Can you tell me about it?"
Chun Nuan Hua Kai: "It's good that you don't remember. I don't know what happened to you at that time. I just heard that after you went into the water to save someone, you suddenly had a high fever of 40 degrees. When you were unconscious, you kept shouting for help. After you woke up, you refused to answer anyone who asked you about it. When someone mentioned it, you trembled and your face turned as white as paper."
Lin Yun and Tang Ning looked at each other.
The snake went into the water to save someone and his health became very poor.
Brilliant Sunshine: "Didn't you ask others to help? Why are you doing it all the time? Xiaoning, your uncle is not forbidding you to save people, he is asking you to do it within your ability. It's the same with everything we do, including your work. Don't work too hard. I know your character too well. When you were a child, you ran to save two people. If you had only saved one, you wouldn't have been dragged down like that."
Two people?!
Tangning had a terrible idea.
Could it be that he also saved Gengxi
No, Gengxi is not from Miaojiang, no, is it possible that Gengxi traveled to Miaojiang when he was a child
Tangning took the phone from Lin Yun and asked, "Uncle, who were the two people you saved?"
Sunny: "I won't talk about this. You refused to do anything at the beginning. Just forget about it. It's better not to remember it. Before your parents got into trouble, they took you to see a psychologist every day but they couldn't cure your nightmare problem. It's great that you have forgotten it now. You can sleep peacefully at night from now on."
After asking around, Tang Ning became more and more anxious. How could there be two people? Who were those two people? Why did "Tang Ning" become very ill and have nightmares after saving those two people? Was that when "Tang Ning" was poisoned
But it was obvious that Du Feng's scent had become stronger recently because of the poison.
No, if Du Feng was a snake, why should he believe Du Feng? Du Feng was probably lying to him.
He saved two people at the time. What if the snake was another person
Questions one after another drilled into Tang Ning's brain like ferocious young pythons. Their snake heads sometimes turned into Du Feng's face, sometimes turned into Geng Xi's face, and sometimes turned into a cloud of mist, with scarlet snake tongues spitting out, like strands of blood splattering.
Tang Ning covered his head as he felt waves of dizziness. The wound on his waist was stinging, as if a snake had opened its bloody mouth and bit his waist hard.
A feeling of weakness spread throughout his body, and Tang Ning slowly squatted down. He heard Lin Yun calling his name. The voice had a strange tone, and his head felt as uncomfortable as when he was carsick. Tang Ning opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Lin Yun's anxious face. When people are nervous, their faces will wrinkle, and the wrinkles on the skin seem to form snake scales. A huge snake head appeared on Lin Yun's neck.
Tang Ning took a deep breath and blinked. The snake head disappeared and Lin Yun was still Lin Yun, looking at him worriedly.
"Xiaoning, how are you?" a concerned voice.
But Lin Yun clearly didn't open his mouth, so where did this question come from
The deep voice of "Xiao Ning" was getting closer and closer. Tang Ning looked and saw a huge snake moving in the corridor. The snake was huge, with black scales, silver-white patterns, and a red tongue that kept spitting out. It moved towards Tang Ning very quickly, as if it was attending a feast.
Go away.
Don't come over here!
Tang Ning opened his mouth in pain. He could hear his own gasping breaths. His limp body wanted to retreat, but the place he and Lin Yun had chosen was the end of the corridor. There was no way to retreat. In his vision blurred by tears, the giant snake turned into Geng Xi holding a rose in his hand.
Geng Xi was wearing a black suit today. He was handsome to begin with, and the tailor-made black suit showed off his superior figure to the fullest.
His black leather shoes made a dull, rapid sound as they stepped on the floor. He immediately walked over to Tangning and, without even caring about the rose in his hand, bent down to help her up.
Tang Ning was shaking helplessly.
He saw the handful of bright red roses falling to the ground, the dew on the petals rolling down, as if the roses were crying.
A warm and powerful hand passed through Tang Ning's armpit and lifted him up forcefully, as if to drag him into a bizarre world. Tang Ning gasped for breath, and he bumped into Geng Xi's chest, and was then held around the waist by the hand, trapping him in his arms.
Geng Xi lowered his head, staring at Huai Ren with his amber eyes: "What's wrong?"
He held her slender waist.
It's like holding a handful of wet roses.
Tang Ning had no way to avoid it. Tears fell from his red eyes. With trembling eyes, he looked at Lin Yun beside him, hoping to get help.
"You can't look at others." Geng Xi lowered her head and kissed his eyes. Her pale lips were wet with tears, and she uttered another wet and ambiguous sentence: "You promised that it will be just you and me this afternoon."
