So, this is not a dream or hallucination.

But it was true that the Snake Lord had just arrived.

Knock knock knock…

Before I could recover from the fright, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

Then a neighbor's voice came, "Xiao Nai, come out quickly, your mother is dying."

My mother is dying?

Lord Snake's words suddenly and clearly appeared in my mind, "The life of your family is in your hands..."

I quickly stumbled out of the bed and ran towards the door with staggering steps.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the anxious and worried face of my neighbor, Mrs. Wang. When she saw me coming out, she grabbed my hand and said, "Quick, go see your mom."

"What's wrong with my mother?" I realized now that there were many people gathered in the hall.

There were also many people at the door. Everyone who stayed in the village seemed to have gathered at my house.

"Your mother was bitten by a venomous snake. Even if we go to the town, it will take an hour. This snake's venom can kill people within half an hour, and they won't be able to survive in the town. Your mother..."

There was sadness on Ma Wang's face, and the look in her eyes also showed distress and sadness.

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately threw away Wang Ma's hand and ran towards my parents' room.

When we got to my parents' room, my mother was lying on the bed with a pale face.

My father, my grandfather, and several elders from the village were standing in front of the bed, with fear on their faces.

"What's going on?" I staggered to the bed and squatted down, and then I saw the mark of a snake bite on my mother's wrist.

The area around the bite wound has turned black and blue.

Although snakes are often seen in our village, no villager has ever been bitten by a snake. My mother is the first one so far.

"When your mother was in a meeting, she strongly opposed your marriage to the snake king, and then a poisonous snake slipped in through the window and bit your mother..." My father's voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and his eyes were even more bloodshot.

The village chief and several elders all looked at me, and everyone’s eyes seemed to say:

The reason why my mother was bitten by a venomous snake and is now dying is all because of me...

I gritted my teeth, I could die, but my mother couldn't die.

"Xiao Nai, I hope that after my life is taken away by Snake Lord, he can let you go. My poor daughter, I'm sorry, my mother can't accompany you anymore..." My mother turned to look at me and said with difficulty.

I said.

There was no fear of death on her face, but only pain and reluctance for me.

"Mom, I won't let you die." With trembling hands, I took out the white porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and saw a black pill inside.

"Mom, take this pill and you should be able to detoxify." Without any hesitation, I stuffed the pill into my mother's mouth and poured her half a cup of warm water.

"Xiao Nai, where did you get this medicine?" My father asked quickly because he was afraid that I would give my mother random medicine.

"...given by Mr. Snake." I bit my lip and said softly.

As soon as they heard that it was given by Lord Snake, everyone in the room trembled, and the expressions on their faces were even more frightened.

Let the snake bite someone and send him the antidote.

This is a warning.

When my mother heard that it was given by Snake Lord, she immediately wanted to spit out the antidote that she had not yet swallowed.

"No, Mom, I don't want to lose my mother at a young age, and as long as I'm alive, I have hope." I quickly covered my mother's mouth to prevent her from spitting out the pills.

By this time I had calmed down and knew what I should do, so I no longer panicked.

My mother looked at me for a long time, with worry on her face.

"My dear, listen to my daughter. There is hope for you while you are alive. Take this antidote pill quickly." My dad saw that my mother had not swallowed the pill, so he urged me anxiously.

"Mom, I have an idea. You take the medicine first." I removed my hand from covering my mother's mouth and fed another sip of water into her mouth.

In the end, my mother couldn't resist me and swallowed the detoxification pill.

Fifteen minutes later, my mother's bluish-white complexion began to slowly return to normal, and the black and blue wound on her wrist that was bitten by the snake was fine.

Seeing that my mother had recovered from the snake venom, everyone was relieved, especially my father. He sat limply on the ground as if he had collapsed, leaning against the edge of the bed and hugging my mother's injured hand tightly.

Looking tired.

I know that my father was scared. He loves my mother so much. If my mother died, he would probably follow her.

This man who is not good at words or expressions has a deep love for me and my mother.

"Grandpa, village chief, please let everyone go back. My mother is fine." I whispered to the old village chief.

Before yesterday, when I was still a child at home, I completely ignored all the big and small things in the village. My parents took care of them.

But now, it seems that I have to jump out to protect my parents and solve this matter.

"Xiao Nai, then, Mr. Snake..." The old village chief hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the door of the room, with a complicated and uneasy expression.

The expressions on the faces of the neighbors outside the door were the same as those of the old village chief, complex and uneasy.

They may all be worried that if I am still unwilling to agree to marry Snake Lord, then I will be the next one to suffer disaster and be warned.

"I'm going to marry you." I used all my strength to spit out these two words, but they came out lightly as if they were breathy. I showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said to the old village chief, "Everyone can rest assured.

Let's go back."

"Hey, okay!" The old village chief seemed to be relieved, but the distressed look on his face was real.

Not long after the old village chief left with his neighbors, my great-grandfather and great-aunt were brought here by my grandma. They looked anxious, thinking that my mother was bitten by a poisonous snake and was about to die.

When they saw my mother already sitting in the hall as if nothing happened, they were stunned for a moment.

I sat closely next to my mother, looking at the small white porcelain bottle in my hand, and thought of the snake king, and couldn't help but feel cold again.

"Daughter, why did you agree? If we find a way to escape, we will definitely be able to escape." My mother hugged me and said anxiously.

"We can't escape, Mom, it's okay." I shook my head, then looked at my grandpa and asked softly, "Grandpa, before, you told dad that the end of the world was the retribution of our old Lu family. How did this happen?

What's going on?"

When my grandfather and my great-grandfather heard my question, their expressions suddenly darkened, and then they became filled with sadness and helplessness.

"Xiao Nai, this is the trouble caused by our old Lu family thousands of years ago. It was our ancestors who persuaded the villagers to worship the Snake King..." My great-grandfather sighed and said in a deep voice.

When I heard it, I felt chills from head to toe.

It is said that evil done by God can be forgiven, but evil done by oneself cannot be lived.

Our ancestors convinced the villagers to worship the Snake Lord, so I, a descendant of the Lu family, have to bear this ridiculous snake marriage contract?

Knowing the truth, I can't have any unbalanced thoughts in my heart right now, let alone blame Snake Lord for why he chose me instead of someone else!

My parents felt bad after hearing this, but my great-grandfather was here at this time, so they couldn't say anything. They just held one of my hands, their expressions filled with despair.
