A black snake with a thick leather strap swished out of the cave and disappeared in an instant.

"Ah!" Li Yuanlang looked down at his ankle. There were two rows of jagged, shallow and small tooth marks. They were bleeding and a little painful.

Li Yuanlang frowned and asked Jin Kening angrily, "You didn't even tell me there was a snake here."

At this time, Jin Kening saw the snake running away, and immediately collapsed to the ground, and weakly explained: "I was so scared that I forgot."

Then he fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

Li Yuanlang didn't dwell on this and came over to hug her.

Jin Kening was still like that time, hooking Li Yuanlang's neck with her very cooperative hands and burying her head deeply in his chest.

When Li Yuanlang turned around, he accidentally saw the wall of the cave and felt something strange.

However, he did not say anything and walked out of the cave holding Jin Kening as if nothing had happened.

Until then, Jin Kening finally relaxed her whole body.

She is too weak.

She stayed here for two days. She originally planned to take a look and leave, but she never expected to encounter the snake, which stayed at the entrance of the cave and blocked her way.

If Li Yuanlang hadn't appeared and scared away the snake, I really don't know what would have happened.

Li Yuanlang placed her at the entrance of the cave, took off the rope and went down.

Han Wei caught it from below, and the two of them worked together to put Jin Kening down first. Li Yuanlang then grabbed the rope and slowly descended to the bottom of the ditch.

After a while, Old Man Jiang rushed over with two other detectives.

Hearing that Li Yuanlang had been bitten by a snake, he quickly squatted down and carefully looked at the wounds on Li Yuanlang's ankle.

After reading it, Old Man Jiang let out a sigh of relief and said, "You are very lucky. This is a non-venomous snake. You can see the tooth marks."

He said that the wound caused by the poisonous snake bite is two rows of small fang marks, and there are two symmetrical, needle-shaped large fang marks at the top.

Deep wounds may cause bleeding, ecchymosis, blisters or blood blisters, or even necrosis.

There will be obvious swelling, pain, and numbness around the wound, and the symptoms are very obvious.

Li Yuanlang only feels slight pain now, has no other reaction, and is not serious.

According to Li Yuanlang's recollection, the shape of the snake was slender and even in shape, with a small and oval head, unlike poisonous snakes, which are mostly triangular and short and thick.

Old Man Jiang was even more certain of his judgment.

It was really a near miss.

Jin Kening was rescued, and the incident of Jiuchengcun Primary School being destroyed by floods came to an end.

All that remains is follow-up investigation.

The investigation team established by the Guangnan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government quickly intervened.

The leader of the investigation team, Li Yuanlang, is no stranger.

Fang Yukun once served as secretary of the Ganping County Party Committee and was later transferred to Guangnan Municipal Government as deputy mayor.

Li Yuanlang is not in his position, he is currently more concerned about Jin Kening.

Something happened at the elementary school, and Jin Kening had nowhere to go. After being discharged from the hospital, she lived in Li Yuanlang's home.

After all, they are a married couple with a marriage certificate, and there is nothing wrong with them living under the same roof.

The house has two bedrooms and one living room, which is just enough for one person.

Li Yuanlang walked with a limp, mainly because the wound bitten by a snake was treated and he needed to rest.

He took Jin Kening to familiarize himself with everything in the house, especially the placement of things in the kitchen.

Jin Kening gave him a hard look, "You told me this, do you plan to make me a nanny who will cook for you and serve you?"

Li Yuanlang asked calmly: "Aren't you willing to do this?"

Jin Kening said coldly: "I don't have that habit, nor do I have that interest."

"Okay." Li Yuanlang nodded slightly, "Ke Ning, if you don't want to cook for me, I will. When the time comes, just don't think my cooking is not delicious."

"If it doesn't taste good, I can order takeout." Jin Kening's attitude was still cold, "There is one more thing I need to correct. My name is not Jin Kening, my name is Xia Ying, and the name on the marriage certificate is also Xia Ying. You'd better change it.

Come here, don't call it a habit, it will cause misunderstanding."

Mentioning this topic, Li Yuanlang pointed to the sofa opposite and motioned for Jin Kening to sit down.

He asked seriously: "Why did you go to the inaccessible Beituo Mountain on the night of the accident?"

"I told you, I'm afraid of running in the wrong direction, it's that simple."

Li Yuanlang frowned, observing Jin Kening's reaction, but his brain was thinking seriously.

A lie, a definite lie.

This is not enough to deceive a three-year-old child.

It's just that he asked Jin Kening many times, and Jin Kening always answered like this.

Li Yuanlang lit a cigarette and waved his hand, "Forget it, asking is in vain, you won't tell the truth."

"Forget it if you don't believe me. I'm too lazy to explain." After that, Jin Kening got up and returned to her bedroom, locking the door.

Li Yuanlang leaned on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

At this time, the mobile phone rang.

After answering, Li Yuanlang asked: "Quan Long, how was the meeting?"

Zhang Quanlong sighed and said: "What Vice Mayor Fang mentioned most is to do a good job in the aftermath. Let the county committee allocate relevant personnel to communicate and discuss with the family of the deceased. As long as the request is not excessive, we can agree to it."

"Has the investigation team made any progress regarding the cause of this flash flood?" Li Yuanlang asked.

Zhang Quanlong replied: "I feel that this is not the focus of the city investigation team this time. They are always prevaricating my request to quickly investigate the cause of the flash flood."

"That's right." Li Yuanlang frowned even more tightly.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuanlang thought about it and contacted Wu Liushui.

"Liu Shui, how are you doing lately?"

"Secretary Li?" Wu Liushui was very surprised.

This was the first time I called Li Yuanlang since he was dismissed.

Wu Liushui was having a hard time during this period. Li Yuanlang was dismissed from his post. As the newly appointed secretary, he was naturally affected.

Fortunately, Gao Canru still kept him in the secretary unit of the county party committee office and did not send him back to his original unit.

However, he has never been given any work arrangements, and from time to time he suffers the looks and cynicism from his colleagues.

Hua Xiaoyun's opportunity to study was also ruined. She complained to him all day long, and the couple had many quarrels over this.

When Wu Liushui heard that Li Yuanlang was looking for him, his heart was filled with ups and downs and he had mixed emotions.

"Secretary Li, I'm fine." These words sounded very forced.

Li Yuanlang knew that Wu Liushui was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he deliberately comforted him.

Forget it, Li Yuanlang didn't dwell on it, but said: "Liu Shui, I have something to ask you."

"You said."

"You try to find Geng Falian and tell me as soon as you have any news."

Wu Liushui pondered for a moment and agreed.

Anyway, he has nothing to do, and no one cares whether he goes to work or not, so he has plenty of time.

After doing this, Li Yuanlang sorted out the videos taken in Molin Garden, sorted them into categories, and stored them in his mobile phone.

Suddenly I heard the doorbell ringing, and I was about to open the door lamely.

When he saw the door to the room opposite opened, Jin Kening came out. Without even looking at him, she went to open the door directly.

It turned out that the takeaway ordered by Jin Kening had arrived.

Smelling a scent, Li Yuanlang realized that he was also hungry.

He didn't order takeout. The food was oily and heavily seasoned, just to cover up the staleness of the ingredients.

Why not order some noodles yourself and eat comfortably?

In the next few days, Zhang Quanlong informed Li Yuanlang of the situation of the city investigation team from time to time.

Just as he had guessed, the investigation team's final conclusion was increasingly that the flash flood was caused by heavy rain overnight and was a natural disaster and had nothing to do with man-made events.

Moreover, the investigation team has reached a settlement with the family of the deceased, without causing huge waves.

There has been no news from Wu Liushui.

After all, he had not contacted Geng Falian for a long time, so it was not easy to find this person.

Li Yuanlang was anxious, but he did not urge him and could only wait patiently.

Jin Kening always locked herself in the room, the door was locked inside, and she didn't know what she was doing.

Apart from getting takeout and going to the bathroom, I basically don’t leave the house.

At noon that day, Li Yuanlang was sorting out materials in his room. For the first time, Jin Kening knocked on the door and said that he wanted to talk to him.

Li Yuanlang was very surprised that the sun was really rising in the west.

After changing the dressing and recuperating, Li Yuanlang's wound was basically healed and his walking returned to normal.

Li Yuanlang walked out of the bedroom and saw Jin Kening in the kitchen, pointing to the four dishes on the table and saying, "I've made a few dishes. Please try my cooking."

Jin Kening can cook, which she learned when she was teaching at Old City Primary School.

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, I am quite appetizing.

Li Yuanlang sat down. Jin Kening poured him a glass of red wine, picked it up and said, "Thank you for taking me in during this time. I'll toast you with this glass of wine."
Chapter completed!
