Li Minggui turned back and glared at the worker, and shouted: "How dare you not kneel down before the Snake King..." He fell to his knees first, banged his head, and said respectfully: "See His Majesty the Snake King..."
Seeing the boss kneel down, more than a dozen workers in the back fell to the ground one after another, kowtowing in fear.
"Your Majesty the Snake King, I, Huang Ermazi, kowtow to your old man."
"I hope the Snake King will keep my family safe..."
Ximen Lang burst out laughing. Why, these people really thought I was some kind of snake king! He smiled and said, "Boss Li, you all get up quickly. I'm not a snake king, I'm just a customer here to buy snakes."
Li Minggui raised his head, but he definitely did not dare to be just the other party. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Snake King, please stop joking with me. I have heard the legend about you from my ancestors, saying that you love to dress up as a young man.
I went on a visit in disguise to see how humans treat your descendants. I want to tell you that although I keep snakes, I treat them well and never dare to harm them. Please be merciful and don't punish me..."
The workers behind also echoed the plea. These employees who raised venomous snakes would inevitably be rough with the venomous snakes when collecting venom. They were afraid that the snake king would be angry with them, and they were all scared out of their wits.
The legend about the Snake King has been circulating for a long time in this generation. It is said that the spirit will appear in the world once every hundred years. Usually, young people will inspect the living conditions of their descendants in the world. If they find anyone who treats the snake clan cruelly, they will definitely use boundless magic to make them
The family was ruined and everyone was dead. When the Snake King appeared, he would be worshiped by thousands of snakes. Therefore, when this strange scene that was rare in a hundred years appeared in front of them, these people all mistakenly thought that the boy was the snake king's transformation.
After all, Ximen Lang was young and had the naughty nature of a young man. When he saw that this group of people regarded him as some kind of snake king, and were in such awe, he rolled his eyes and pretended to say: "This time, I came out to inspect the mountain to see me.
How are the future generations living? Fortunately, although you keep snakes, you are pretty good to them, so I won’t pursue it. Let’s all get up.”
Hearing that Snake King did not blame them, Li Minggui and others were overjoyed. They kowtowed a few times and said in a flurry of words: "Thank you Snake King for your kindness..." "You are so wise..."
Ximenlang waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, everyone, get up."
A group of people did not dare to disobey the Snake King's will, so they all stood up.
Ximen Lang said smoothly: "I am here this time to select some descendants for transformation. Li Minggui, you can choose 500 large five-step snakes for me in this snake pen and pack them up. I will take them away."
Li Minggui hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." He turned around and ordered the group of men, "Hurry, choose five hundred large five-step snakes and install them..."
More than a dozen workers agreed, some took the bags, and some went into the snake pond to catch snakes, busy in an orderly manner.
At this time, Li Minggui respectfully invited His Majesty the Snake King into the main room on the south side, and shouted to his wife and daughter: "Hurry up, kill the big rooster and stew it, and prepare some good dishes for our distinguished guests."
His wife and daughter had just heard the news that His Majesty the Snake King was coming. How could they dare to neglect it? They only heard the panicked cry of the big rooster in the courtyard. After a moment, he
He lost his voice and was killed innocently.
The mother was busy picking feathers and disemboweling the rooster, and the eighteen-year-old daughter was very busy picking mushrooms, soaking fungus, and blanching day lilies.
The daughter asked curiously: "Mom, why did the snake king come to our house?"
His mother glared at him and said, "Children, don't ask for everything, hurry up and get to work."
The daughter pouted and said unhappily: "What does it matter if I ask?" She was curious after all, so she found an excuse to go out from the kitchen, leaned on the glass of the main room and looked inside quietly, but what she saw was not
I imagined an old man wearing a python robe and a golden crown.
, but a young man of her own age wearing modern clothes, tall and handsome, better looking than the male protagonist in a Korean youth idol drama. She couldn't leave her eyes from this boy, thinking to herself
, His Majesty the Snake King is so handsome!
Unexpectedly, just when her daughter was looking so obsessed, the mother next to her reached out a hand and pinched her ear, and dragged her back to the kitchen forcefully, and whispered in a low voice: "Look.
Why don't you let His Majesty the Snake King take a look at you and take this girl like you away to be your little wife..."
The daughter replied unconvincingly: "What's so great about being his little wife? I'm not afraid..." But she sighed in her heart. Just looking at such a handsome man makes me excited every day. I really want to be his little wife.
But how can we have that blessing?
Li Minggui, who was in the main room, poured steaming Longjing tea for the Snake King diligently, and chatted with him nervously. After a while, he felt that His Majesty the Snake King was approachable and approachable, not too scary, and the nervousness in his heart gradually increased.
Dissipated, he actually had the guts to ask the other party to write an inscription for the house.
Ximenlang readily agreed, thinking that judging from the current situation, Li Minggui would definitely not be able to ask for money for the 500 five-step snakes he purchased. According to preliminary estimates, the value of these snakes must be more than 100,000 yuan.
Someone gave me such a big gift, so it’s not too outrageous to ask me to write an inscription. He smiled and said, “Get the paper and pen ready, I’ll write a calligraphy for you.”
Li Minggui was overjoyed. Wouldn't it be a great gift to get the Snake King's calligraphy treasure? He hurriedly walked to the desk, spread out the good paper, and stood beside it to grind the ink. Everything was ready and all he needed was the east wind.
Writing calligraphy is no stranger to Ximen Lang. His father, Zhang Xiaofeng, is a master of calligraphy. He once let his brothers and sisters practice this culture with traditional Chinese characteristics when they were young. Therefore, he is good at writing.
Good words.
With a square step, Ximen Lang walked to the desk with great momentum, picked up a medium-sized brush and filled it with ink. His wrist shook and he wrote two big characters, "Blessings", as if he was full of energy.
Li Minggui was endlessly surprised, "Blessings," didn't this mean His Majesty the Snake King's indirect promise to bless our family to live a happy life in peace and happiness? This kindness is so great that it is simply hard to buy. He was busy smiling.
Said: "Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you His Majesty the Snake King for your gift. I will frame your words and offer them as incense every day..."
