Chapter 7 Villagers and Snakes

While Yun'er was looking forward to it, the white snake returned dragging a 100-pound wild boar that had been strangled to death.

He let go of the wild boar, looked at Yun'er and nodded to the wild boar on the ground. This was given to Yun'er's family. It is not easy to catch a small wild boar weighing a hundred kilograms.

"Is this for me?"

White Snake nodded.

Yun'erle's eyes turned into crescent moons, and she ran home jumping and shouting, while the white snake turned around and went into the forest.

The hungry Yun'er family picked up a wild boar from the mountains. This incident soon spread like wildfire in the village. Yun'er's father was not stingy when he had food to eat. He killed the pig, skinned it and gave it to several families who were also without food.

People send meat, and everyone supports each other to keep going. The folk customs in the countryside are very simple, not to mention that living on the edge of Shiwan Mountain can only be safe if you stay together, otherwise the wild beasts in the mountains will turn into a demolition team in minutes.

Pork can last for several days if you eat it sparingly, and you can't bear to throw away the offal. It is said that people in the county never eat offal, but when there is no food, they will never throw it away as long as they can eat it.

When the wild boar was finished, Yun'er picked up two pheasants in the back mountain. Yun'er's parents had begun to change their attitude towards Yun'er.

If it happened once or twice, it could be said to be good luck, but when Yun'er, who had no food at home, picked up a wolf again, the villagers finally felt that something was wrong...

You can get wild boars and pick up pheasants, but how can a little girl find a ferocious wild wolf in its prime?

hillside.

Dozens of villagers surrounded the wolf corpse, and Yun'er stood in the middle with her head bowed and silent.

Although there is food to help the villagers tide over the difficulties, this thing is too weird. If it is not done right, it is very likely that Yun'er will be regarded as a monster and thrown into the fire and burned to death. This is not unusual.

"Yun'er, what's going on with this wolf?"

"..." Yun'er lowered her head and rubbed her fingers without saying anything.

"Who sent it? Is it a hero passing by our village?"

The heroes Yun'er's father was talking about were those martial arts people who wandered around the world, but Yun'er, who lowered her head to rub her fingers, rubbed her clothes instead, and still shook her head.

The man was stunned, could he be an immortal?

"Did the gods help us when they saw that we were living too hard?"

Still shaking his head.

Yun'er's father felt that the matter was very strange and had to threaten him verbally.

"Yun'er! You must tell the truth! Otherwise, don't recognize me as your father!"

The neighbor tried to stop her, but Yun'er's father waved his hand to indicate that it was okay and then stared at his daughter coldly, thinking to himself that if he didn't say anything, he would be beaten with a broom.

This sentence was probably the harshest reprimand for a seven or eight-year-old girl. Yun'er immediately panicked. She recalled that her parents particularly liked her younger brother and that they were deliberately neglecting her. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was afraid that her family really didn't want her.

I remember my mother said viciously that she was a loser...

"Wow" made Yun'er cry loudly.

The surrounding villagers were very embarrassed, and they felt as if a group of adults were bullying a little girl.

As expected, Yun'er, who was still a child, took everything into account. That scolding was like a curse that frightened the seven or eight-year-old girl, and she told the story bit by bit while sobbing.

In the dense forest not far away, White Snake sighed inwardly. After thinking for a while, he decided to show his face from a distance and then hide to observe the follow-up. If they planned to be unfavorable to Yun'er, they would have to fight a bloody road to bring Yun'er into the mountain.

The crowd screamed and frightened everyone.

"Look! White Snake!"

Everyone followed the man's gaze and saw a huge and somewhat beautiful white snake...

Yun'er cried loudly and ran over, hugged White Snake and her tears flowed out as if they were free of money. If she hadn't guessed what happened before, she would have gone over to teach those people a lesson to vent their anger on Yun'er.

He lowered his snake head and rubbed the girl's back twice to express comfort.

After showing up and announcing his presence, he turned around and swam back to the forest. He made a big circle and came to the other side to observe the progress. He saw that the villagers did not care about Yun'er's efforts to let go of the snake heart.

After that, the legend of the Snake Fairy started again in the village. Some villagers even brought yellow paper candles and burned paper to worship at the place where the White Snake appeared. In addition to thanking the White Snake Fairy for sending food, they also made wishes, such as praying for good weather next year. This wish is generally normal.

The villagers gathered together, and there was also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who wished to find a good husband and a good man, and there was also a girl who wished to have a son. Giving birth to a daughter is easily looked down upon by people in the village, so various performances started.

Every few days, White Snake would send wild animals to the village, such as wild boars, and the most common ones were wild wolves. The wolves were too arrogant in the mountains, which made White Snake unhappy.

Wolf meat can be eaten, and wolf skins can be sold to buy food. Even though the villagers don't have enough to eat, they can survive the cold and wet end of the year.

The good times did not last long, and strange things in the mountain village attracted the attention of people outside.

One day.

Yun'er ran quickly towards the back hill, even if she fell and cut her little hand, she didn't care.

"Snake, run! Someone from the town wants to capture you and sell you for money! There are many hunters coming and some riding big horses!"

White Snake did find that there was a group of people in the village. The heat sensor could clearly see the crowd, hounds and horses, but it still attracted the attention of some greedy people.

"Daddy asked me to tell you to leave quickly, Orochi, leave quickly!"

The snake nodded, and the white snake turned around and swam toward the mountain.

Behind the scenes, the disgraced Yun'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the back of the white snake.

Many people came to the village, most of them hunters and servants carrying swords. It is said that the leader of the town personally led the team. After hearing the news about the white snake, the leader who lived in the town immediately invited hunters to go into the mountains to catch the snake. The white snake was saved.

The villagers, who were out of food, knelt on the ground, young and old, and begged their masters to let the white snake go. In exchange for this, they were whipped.

"Lord Patriarch...please let the Snake Fairy go..."

"Yes, yes, please let the Snake Fairy go. What we didn't eat was the Snake Fairy who sent us food to keep us alive. The Snake Fairy is kind..."

The servants whipped them with whips, but the villagers dared not speak out in anger.

They paid a few villagers to lure them into telling them where the white snakes were. They hunted them down the mountain with a big net and a bow. Of course, they found nothing, but the hounds reacted greatly and kept barking in the direction of the mountains.

The next day, the snake-catching team went into the mountains led by those villagers. White snakes were rare, especially those that were so big and had spirituality. If they were caught back, they would definitely make a profit whether they were given as gifts or sold for money.

Little do these people know that they are heading towards death step by step, and the reputation of Shiwandashan for its evil is not a legend.

In the valley, a group of people moved forward slowly.

In the distance, the white snake looked at the crowd with its cold eyes, then turned and swam away, deliberately leaving a strong smell. The direction was not the ginkgo tree valley where it was nesting, but another rarely visited forest. The white snake is a snake, a cold-blooded animal.

Cruel, vicious and other words used to describe snakes are not a joke. Those who go into the mountains to catch snakes will soon face a snake that takes ferocious revenge...

The hounds are getting more and more frantic.

"Everyone, work harder! We are about to catch the big snake! Everyone who catches the big snake will be rewarded!"
