【49】Revisiting the Old Place (Part II)
When the sun sets, the clouds are red, covering the dusty earth with a mysterious veil.
The primeval forest is full of unseen exotic flowers and fruits, and the primeval forest composed of towering trees makes it a forbidden area for humans, but it is a paradise for wild animals.
"Where I was born, I'm finally back here......"
Drunken Moon peeked out of the water, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no danger, climbed ashore, feeling the taste of re-touching the earth, and looked at the grass and trees here with a pleasant gaze.
"Three years ago, right here, I was a little snake like chopsticks. "The drunken moon wandered on the rugged land, the snake's belly overwhelmed the weeds, and the breath of the old place was felt again.
In the dim woods, the nightingale circled and sang in the sky, but unfortunately it was no longer her old friend.
"By the way, I'm not friends with it......" Drunken Moon shook the snake's head and followed the stream towards higher mountains.
She can vaguely see the traces of hunting, exercising, and playing here three years ago.
She laughed to herself that it wasn't a good time, but it was also an unforgettable memory.
Once again, Drunken Moon came to the Snake Cave, where she had once broken out of her shell.
Today's snake nest is dilapidated, as if it has been abandoned, and withered yellow weeds are piled up in front of the nest.
"Alas......"
Drunken Moon cleaned the old snake nest slightly, it was like a room that hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and she didn't plan to expel them in the face of her insect friends who lived inside.
Drunken Moon left the snake's nest and wandered between the heavens and the earth.
On the grass exposed to the air, the huge snake body twisted forward, the hare fled in the wind, and the lynx did not dare to make a mistake when it saw her, even if the sky overlord eagle saw her, he had to be polite.
She is no longer a little snake that was bullied by beasts, but a beautiful and powerful adult python, there is no natural enemy in this world, she is the master of nature.
But there is no trace of similar emotion in her heart, some are just regrets, regrets the passage of time, regrets that things are like people, and regrets beautiful dreams......
Her goal this time is to try to find traces of her parents in this life, even if it is a python, it is also her biological parents......
In the surrounding bamboo forest, she found the traces of giant pandas for the first time, that strange and beautiful elf.
With round cheeks, big dark circles, chubby bodies, and their signature inner figure of eight walking, they are among the cutest animals in the world.
They are a scarce national protected animal in China, and it is a great honor to be lucky enough to see them in the vast forest......
"Hmm...... It's a cute big guy. Zuiyue climbed the bamboo tree and watched the panda's every move.
"The giant panda is impeccable in appearance and strength, and it deserves to be a national treasure. The drunken moon snake leaned forward and slid down the bamboo tree, approaching the side of the giant panda, wanting to feel the charm of the national treasure up close.
Apparently the panda also sensed the danger, and immediately became alert, landing on all fours, and with each step of the drunken moon, it stepped back a little and let out a warning roar.
"Alright, alright, it's just a little closer. Drunken Moon scurried into the bushes next to her, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As the sky grew darker, nocturnal animals stretched their waists, moved their muscles, and prepared to forage for food.
Obviously, in the middle of the night there will be bloody slaughter, this is a paradise for the strong, a hell for the weak, and this kind of thing happens every day.
Drunken Moon still lingered in the forest, and the darkness did not obstruct her vision, as her heat sensing system became extremely sensitive in the cold of the night.
"Mom's taste, finally found. After a whole day of searching in this woodland, Drunken Moon finally caught the haunting breath of her dreams.
The smell of pythons is not uncommon in this vast sea of beasts, but such a sobering smell must be emitted by one's closest relatives.
She withdrew the letter and slid in that direction with gusto.
In just ten minutes, Zuiyue found a cave embedded in the rocks.
Under the observation of the detection skill, Drunken Moon's eyes looked directly at the bottom of the cave, and saw a large snake more than 4 meters long entrenched at the bottom of the dark cave, and the eggs arranged in circles were sheltered by its body.
"Mom, is that you?" Drunken Moon lowered her head and reached into the snake hole, screaming tentatively.
Because she only searched according to her breath, she couldn't determine whether this big snake was her mother, or sister, or a python that was not related by blood.
In response to her, the other party's cold gaze was answered, and the ferocious wildness and murderous intent leaked out of the eyes reflecting the moonlight, and the blood flowing on her body was frozen.
"Hmm...... It doesn't seem to work. Zuiyue smiled awkwardly, her body slowly retreating, keeping a safe distance from the snake cave.
Because of the age, the snakes are very similar to each other, and she can't tell whether the cave is her mother or sister, so she can only rely on intuition and instinct to grope for it.
But now intuition and instinct didn't tell her anything, it just gave her a familiar feeling, and that's it.
Drunken Moon glanced at the snake egg in the cave that was sheltered by the female snake, and remembered that she had been protected by it under its wings, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
But the serpent did not have the right to weep.
"It doesn't matter if you're my snake mother or not...... I'm very satisfied to see that you are still living in this world~!" Zuiyue smiled wryly and left the place.
Only mothers are good in the world, and children without mothers are like roots......
The female snake who guarded the eggs day and night was already very tired, and another female snake appeared in her eyes. It naturally treats the other party as a thief who has robbed the lair, and makes basic defenses in order to drink the other party back.
When it saw the strange female snake leave, it slowly moved out, spat out the snake letter, and looked up at the bright moon entrenched in the sky.
The moon always evokes nostalgia for the past, and the same is true for wild beasts.
In the center of the full moon, it faintly saw the strange behavior of the baby snake that had behaving strangely in the same light of the moonlight a few years ago......
