After discussing with Lao Tie, Lao Tie carried the bamboo basket with the white snake on his back and went with me to the nearby bank to withdraw money.
Lao Tie was waiting for me outside, and I went in to withdraw money.
Instead of just withdrawing 5,000, I withdrew 6,000, gave Lao Tie 5,000, and took the remaining 1,000 with me.
"Here is 5,000, please order it!" I handed the money to Lao Tie.
Lao Tie looked at me with a smile, and then looked at the money in my hand, "It's worth counting! With our relationship, I don't believe anyone, but only you and I believe it."
Lao Tie said and patted my shoulder vigorously.
Yes, this guy is an acquaintance. I just met him not long ago, so calling him "brother" is just polite, but he really treats me as one of his own.
Lao Tie finally said when I handed him the money, "Okay, now this snake belongs to you!"
As he said this, Lao Tie put away the money and handed me the bamboo basket.
"Okay, brother, I'll leave as soon as I have something else to do!" Lao Tie seemed to be in a pretty good mood, humming a cheerful ditty and walked out of the bank.
Looking at Lao Tie's back, I feel like my heart is bleeding, for my five thousand!
I suddenly felt that there was an inexplicable funny thing. Killing a snake casually will be punished. In order to avoid a tragedy, I decided to buy the white snake. But in the end, the snake was saved and Lao Tie was safe and sound.
I made a small windfall, and the only one who lost was me.
Alas, this is really hard for a good person to do!
I shook my head helplessly, then picked up the bamboo basket and walked outside.
I walked to a jungle beside the road, took down the bamboo basket, and finally opened the bamboo basket, intending to release the white snake.
I was always cautious during this process. I was doing a good deed. Not to mention spending 5,000 yuan to buy this snake. In the end, if I accidentally got bitten by a snake, it would be great fun.
After I took off the lid of the bamboo basket, I quickly stood behind it.
The white snake came out at once, shook its head a few times, and then crawled towards the jungle.
Watching the snake being released, I let out a sigh of relief, thinking that although I had lost money, I had done a good deed and accumulated some bad virtue.
When the white snake was about to get into the jungle, it suddenly turned around and crawled towards me while spitting out messages.
Watching this scene, I was deeply shocked and didn't know what to do for a while.
Just when I was hesitating, the white snake had already crawled in front of me.
My heart is already in my throat. Could this little white snake want to repay a favor with a grudge? Why don't you take a bite of it from me?
Thinking of this possibility, I took a defensive stance.
But unexpectedly, after the white snake crawled in front of me, it raised its head and looked at me, spitting letters in its mouth.
Now I am confused. What does this snake mean?
But what gave me some peace of mind was that this white snake didn't show any aggression toward me.
Next, an even more unexpected scene happened. This white snake crawled to my leg very docilely, and like a puppy, it rubbed my trouser legs.
I was so surprised that I was almost speechless. This white piece was so humane!
It seems that my guess was correct. This white snake is really full of energy and has even gradually opened up its spiritual wisdom. It is now expressing its gratitude to me for saving it from Lao Tie.
Although I was shocked, I also felt a little lucky that I had released this white snake. If I really let Lao Tie kill such a spiritual snake, Lao Tie would not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.
The white snake rubbed against the hem of my trousers for a while, then twisted its body and tried to get into the jungle.
Until the white snake finally disappeared from my sight, I still felt incredible.
Although the story of the farmer and the snake has been circulating for a long time, fortunately, the white snake I met knew how to be grateful.
I let out a breath and thought that Ye Yiming was still waiting for me at Old Man Zhang's house. I had already wasted a lot of time because of the White Snake incident. I quickly ran back to the market and called the two workers I was looking for to go to Old Man Zhang together.
Rush home.
Because we were in a hurry, our group moved very quickly, and it didn’t take long to reach Old Man Zhang’s house.
When we arrived there, I saw Ye Yiming sitting in front of a small forest meditating. The morning light filtered through the dense leaves and hit the ground, forming patches of light.
The kid was standing next to him with a yellow talisman on his body.
At this moment, Ye Yiming's young and immature face looked particularly peaceful. For a moment, I felt a unique momentum in Ye Yiming. Looking at Ye Yiming meditating quietly, my heart began to gradually calm down.
I closed my eyes and felt everything around me with my heart. The bright morning, the right vision, listening to the chirping of birds in my ears, and breathing the fresh air in the forest. I suddenly felt that life was so wonderful and alive.
It is an extremely beautiful thing.
Time just slipped away from our fingertips bit by bit. Then I slowly opened my eyes, only to find that one person had finished meditating and stood up from the ground.
"Uncle..." Looking at Ye Yiming, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ye Yiming nodded to me.
I said with some embarrassment, "Uncle, something happened when I came here, so I came a little late."
Ye Yiming smiled nonchalantly, "It's better to be late than never!"
Although Ye Yiming's tone of voice was very calm, it always revealed an unpredictable meaning.
Ye Yiming glanced at the kid next to him, and then said to me, "Hurry up and let someone chop down that tiger tree! In this way, this kid can be completely eliminated."
I nodded and agreed, then called to the two workers who came with me to start operating the machine to cut down the old locust tree.
Ye Yiming did not step forward, he stood aside and looked at us.
"Ah..." The workers over there had already started to cut down the trees, but not long after, I suddenly heard a scream coming from there.
I was shocked. Could something else have happened?
Ye Yiming and I looked at each other, and then looked at the lumberjack at the same time.
I saw them looking nervous, holding chainsaws in their hands, and staring blankly at the old locust tree.
I quickly ran over with Ye Yiming.
"What's wrong?" I asked in panic.
One of the lumberjacks slowly came to his senses, looked back at me, then pointed at the old locust tree and said, "This... this locust tree is bleeding."
Is the locust tree bleeding?
At this time, I had already run to the old locust tree. I looked forward and saw that the old locust tree had a hole cut open by a chainsaw. At this time, the hole in the old locust tree was bleeding with bright red blood!
