107 Kill it or worship it?
The serpent disappeared under the waterfall, and the people had no choice but to return in vain, because without a powerful family, it could not be subdued.
"Village Chief Wang, you take everyone back first, I want to take a look around. Just when everyone returned to the village, Liao Mu suddenly said that originally, Lang Mo wanted to stay and walk around with Liao Mu, but helplessly, his horror and fright had long since lost his curiosity.
"Well, be careful, maybe, the serpent hasn't gone far. Maybe this village chief Wang is also like a frightened bird, wishing to leave early, hearing Liao Mu's words, he didn't react, and he didn't ask him why he wanted to stay, so he casually answered, and took the villagers back to the village with Lang Mo, leaving Liao Mu alone to walk slowly in the sugarcane field.
On the way back, he saw Alan and Liu Mei coming in a hurry, and when he saw the white-faced Principal Wolf and Village Chief Wang, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Alan shouted: "Lang Mo, Village Chief Wang, are you all right, have you seen the big snake, the big snake didn't do anything to you!"
Why did Alan and Liu Mei come back, of course, it was the credit of the young man who reported the news, after Lang Mo and Village Chief Wang left, the young man who reported the news came with ordinary people to round with Village Chief Wang, and came to the door of the restaurant, but he didn't see Village Chief Wang, and when he asked, Alan told the young man, saying, they went to the sugarcane field, and the young man screamed in fright: "My mother, to deal with the big snake, just the two of them, aren't they looking for death, I'm afraid it's not enough to stuff the big snake's teeth." When Alan was still stunned, the guy put down this sentence, and hurriedly ran away with everyone, just right, that Liao Mu was also chased back, so he followed to the sugarcane field, when they arrived at the sugarcane field, they happened to witness the thrilling scene, at the critical moment, Liao Mu used his courage to save the wolf principal, and pulled it back from the python's mouth.
"Liu Mei, when did you come back from your house, and how did you and Alain get here? Lang Mo asked.
"I had just come back, and when I saw the men with hoes and sickles gone, we were a little uneasy, so come and see if you had hit the snake. Liu Mei said nervously, and after listening to Liu Mei's words, a different kind of taste rose in Principal Wolf's heart.
"What's not to worry about, don't you see that we are all good, what's the use of you coming, come, don't you also make a tender snack for the big snake. Villager Wang hurriedly said in a loud voice, and there was something funny in his tone.
A group of people chatted and returned to Xiaoyun Restaurant.
In the restaurant, more than half of the customers did not leave, not only that, but when they heard this terrifying news, a large number of villagers from Fenghua Village crowded into the restaurant, and the restaurant was so crowded that even the kitchen door was full of people.
They are all talking about one thing, no need to guess, of course it is the python out of the mountain, these people's current expressions are not as simple as worry, in the conversation, everyone showed a terrifying face.
Of course, the loudest one is the skinny old wheat, "Alas, what to say, what to say, what to do, what can be done, it seems that Fenghua Village is going to break a fortune again, this big snake is already a snake fairy, it comes out, we have to pay tribute as soon as possible, otherwise, it will bring us a catastrophe to Fenghua Village." He was shouting at the crowd in a worried voice.
When some of the people present heard this, they kept nodding their heads, but most of them were wrinkled old men, while the young people listened quietly, and a few young men showed contempt on their faces, and it seemed that they did not approve of any tribute.
One of the old men said: "That's right, we not only have to pay tribute, but also give some pigs and cattle and other domestic animals, and when it is full, it will naturally not be difficult for everyone!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I agree, if you want to do some new tricks this year, you must serve the snake fairy well, otherwise, it will come out again in a few years....."
....... In the restaurant, there was a lot of discussion about how to pay tribute, how to prepare the food of the snake fairy, how to set up the altar of the shrine, and so on.
But Village Chief Wang and Lang Mo didn't pay attention to the quarrels of those people at all, sitting at the table, just desperately drinking the highly inferior liquor bought from Uncle De, while drinking, they were nervous and not trembling, not why, just for the unforgettable moment of horror just now, they needed to use a lot of alcohol to suppress the shock, and if they pressed the nerves that were about to burst.
When those old men asked for the opinion of Village Chief Wang, Village Chief Wang just said: "You are all old-timers in the village, you can do what you want, I used to say, don't do that, don't do that set of tricks of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, you don't listen, you have to pay tribute, isn't that just a python, what's so terrible, what do you want to do, don't ask me, you can watch it!"
"That's right, Village Chief Wang is right, what are you doing, paying tribute, what kind of tribute, it's just a snake, what's so scary. Outside the door, another person squeezed in, but it was Liao Mu, the big guy saw that it was the director of the police station who came back, and those noisy discussions finally quieted down.
"Director Liao, how do you plan to deal with this matter, you must know that if it is not handled properly, it will attract the punishment of the snake fairy, and it will be too late to regret it at that time!"
"How to deal with it, if it returns to the mountain, of course I will let it go, but if it endangers the neighbors, of course I have to destroy it, completely extinguished. Liao Mu said as a matter of course.
The words of this great director immediately attracted a tide of opposition, the reason is very simple, offended the snake fairy, but it can't, that momentum can even overshadow the ferocity of the big snake, and it seems that Liao Mu can be eaten alive immediately.
"What are you arguing about, noisy to death, do you know who Director Liao is, you are so domineering, what do you want to do, isn't it just a broken snake, people have the truth of their families, don't make a fuss, what's the matter, we will hold a villager meeting tomorrow night and then decide, disperse. Under the vicious village authority of Village Chief Wang, the crowd gradually dispersed.
After the villagers dispersed, he looked at Village Chief Wang and Lang Mo, who had returned to the table to drink, "You two, drink a little less, it will hurt your body, isn't it just a python, why do you pour it like this." Liao Mu smiled and persuaded on the side.
"What you said is easy, I'm really not afraid of toothache, the reason why I said this just now is because I saw that the bastards were annoyed, and I wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, so that the ears would be cleaner, Director Liao, you don't think about it, you try the feeling of being chased by a snake, that feeling is simply to scare the soul away, I would rather be chased by a dozen evil ghosts than be chased by that thing, it's terrible." "Village Chief Wang finished speaking angrily, 'Gu Dong Gu Dong' raised his head, lifted the wine bottle and poured alcohol into his mouth.
"Village Chief Wang, don't be discouraged, you're right, isn't it just a broken snake, besides, isn't the snake's final target always staring at me, why are you so afraid, the person who is scared out of the body should be me, and the person who should pee his pants should also be me, not you, grandma is a bear, this principal will take revenge after all, and then, pull off the snake skin and take out the snake gall, that is a priceless treasure, it can be sold for a lot of money," The immortal wolf principal, after drinking a whole glass of liquor and trembling a little, actually came up with the idea of using the python to make a fortune.
"Don't think it's too beautiful, I think this snake is really not an ordinary snake, you think about it, why does this python appear in late autumn, if it is an ordinary snake, it has already gone into the hole to sleep, why does it have to come out and wander around, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I really can't believe that there will be such a big snake in this Fenghua Village, and it comes out when the weather is cold, this is incredible, I think, if it is really ruthless today, we people will definitely be unlucky, what is the way of this snake, is there really such an evil thing in the mountains。 Liao Mu analyzed.
"Director Liao, you don't have to guess, that big python definitely came out of the Falling Soul Mountain, think about it, if it weren't for the Falling Soul Mountain as its nest, how could such a big snake be hidden near this Fenghua Village. Village Chief Wang said.
"I agree with this, this guy must have come out of the mountains, but have you ever thought about it, why did it choose to come out in the cold, or even in winter, isn't it exactly a snake? Liao Mu frowned and asked Principal Wolf and Village Chief Wang.
"I said, Director Liao, you weren't chased by that big guy, why are you talking nonsense, it's obviously a super snake, and it's a big snake that can swallow people. Principal Wolf rolled his eyes.
"I didn't say that this thing must not be a python, but have you ever seen a python with a cockscomb on top of its head? Liao Mu retorted.
"I think Director Liao's words are reasonable, this snake, not only has a cockscomb standing on its head, but also cries in the middle of the night, the sound is exactly the same as the big rooster in the village, the difference is that its voice is very loud, it can be transmitted far and wide, I remember one year, when it appeared, it seemed to be crowing halfway up the mountain pass, so far away, we heard it at night as if it was calling in the ear, very scary, this beast, roared on the top of the mountain for two nights in a row, so that the rooster of the whole village followed in the middle of the nightAt that time, I wanted to take people up the mountain to catch snakes, but when I thought of its head, who would dare to do that!"
"Well, Village Chief Wang, in your memory, this python came out of the mountains several times in total. Liao Mu asked again.
"Eight times, yes, eight times, the earliest one! I was very young, eleven or twelve. Village Chief Wang thought for a moment and replied.
"Eight times, so to speak, this snake has to come out every three or five years, and every time it comes out, everyone has to pay tribute to cattle and sheep and other domestic animals, right?"
"Yes, so to speak, this python has appeared eight times, every time it appears, everyone has to put down sacrifices at the mountain pass, for the python to eat, and the number can not be less, if there is less, there will be big trouble, many years ago, maybe the tribute was too little, I heard that before the liberation, that thing also swallowed several people, but in the more than ten years that I was the head of the village, everyone paid tribute three times, and there was no incident of swallowing people, despite this, for this superstitious thing, I do not approve, but I alone can not resist the stubborn old man of the whole village, helpless, I have to agree。 Village Chief Wang nodded affirmatively.
"Then what is it coming out for, is it just for the food that everyone gives it, is there a lack of food in the mountains, but this can't be said, if there is a lack of food, it should come out often, why does it always have to wait until three or five years later to come out once, or for fun, but what is interesting in this Fenghua Village. Liao Mu said, looking at the table with one index finger.
"It's fun, come on, Director Liao, you don't want to think about it, this monster is so big, what are you doing here, is it difficult to come out on a blind date in the mountains, after talking, take a female python back." Principal Wolf said on the side.
"Why do you think that python is a male? Liao Mu asked with a smile.
"Guess, I think it's a male python, or else it would be so preoccupied and wandering around. Principal Wolf also suddenly smiled and said.
"I think that snake is the mother's, you, it's not serious, otherwise, why would it chase you. Alan came over with a pot of tea from the kitchen, and when he heard Lang Mo's words, he said with a smile.
"Justified, justified. Village Chief Wang and Liao Mu laughed and nodded repeatedly.
"Then how long does this python stay near Fenghua Village every time it comes out of the mountains?" After Liao Mu finished laughing, he continued to ask Village Chief Wang.
"It's hard to say, when it's long, it's about ten days, but the shortest is about four or five days!"
"Well, four or five days, there's plenty of time, let's stop jokes, let's be serious. Liao Mu took something out of his pocket and said, "Look, this is the scale that fell from the big guy I picked up from the sugar cane field. With that, he showed the three of them the black scales.
After the three of them finished reading, Liao Mu continued: " You don't find it, this scale has no special characteristics, it is larger, but it is hard, far beyond our imagination, like a piece of metal, hard and heavy, I think, if you use an ordinary knife and fork, it is difficult to pierce and cut it, I am going to send this scale to the provincial zoological research institute to do a study and test, to see what animal experts think of this thing, in addition, I just went to the deep pool under the waterfall where the python disappeared, I found that the water in the pool is very warm, according to my estimate, at least twenty degrees Celsius, I suspect that there is a passage to the mountain under the deep pool, and in that passage, there may be a heat source like a hot spring!"
"Yes, Director Liao is right, the water in the Jade Girl River at the entrance of our village comes out of the mountain, warm in winter and cool in summer, especially in winter, sometimes, the water seems to be particularly warm, the heat in the river is so hot that it spreads all over the river, now looking back, I think there is some truth, ah, yes, I remember, it seems that every time the river is warm, the big snake will appear, today Director Liao does not say, I really didn't notice this. Village Chief Wang interjected excitedly.
"It seems that my analysis should make some sense, we saw with our own eyes that the python left the sugar cane field, went all the way to the edge of the deep pool, swam into the pool, and then disappeared, now I suspect that every time the python comes out of the mountain, if I guess correctly, it should come out of the bottom of the pool, because only the warm water at the bottom of the pool will not make the snake freeze, so, I mean, this snake must get rid of it, at the entrance and exit of it, ambush it, kill it, or else, every few years it will come out and eat a big meal, this is not a good way, it can't get it, one day, everyone doesn't give it food, it will swallow people, you see, just like today, how dangerous it is。 Liao Mu continued with Village Chief Wang's words.
"I'll go to the provincial capital immediately, first go to ask for an expert, and then go to the Ministry of Armed Forces to apply for some powerful belongings, I'll rush back tomorrow, I want to see how powerful this so-called snake fairy is." Liao Muxing added with a full head.
As soon as he heard that Liao Mu was going to bring a strong guy over, the wolf principal immediately became excited and said: "Yes, yes, Director Liao, you go back quickly, it's best to bring an anti-tank gun, with that guy, you can blow that ghost thing into the sky with one shot, we can call this snake fight plan a snake slaughter operation, how about it, it's a loud enough slogan!"
After hearing this, Liao Mu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Principal Wolf, do you think we are at war with which country, why don't you ask me to get an intercontinental missile, and then have a satellite positioning, wouldn't it be more convenient!"
"Adult, don't I have a desire for revenge, don't be surprised, go and come back quickly, my deep hatred is all counting on you. Principal Wolf said with a grin.
"Push me away, okay, I'll leave immediately, but, Village Chief Wang, please tell everyone, at night, tell everyone to go to bed early, lock the doors and windows, don't run around, you know, in addition, please organize the militia in the village, start patrolling tonight, in case you encounter that snake into the village, you can only scare it away, you can't do it brutely, remember, remember. Liao Mu commanded.
"Okay, you know, you don't need to say it, we also know how to do it, don't worry. Liao Mu said some details that should be paid attention to, such as the pigsty should be reinforced, the chicken pen and duck pen should be put a few wooden boards, the windows should be nailed with iron nails, etc., and everything was explained, Liao Mu was relieved to get into the police car and left in a hurry.
"Director Liao, how can you be like a mother-in-law, such a mother-in-law, these things are so long-winded with you. Village Chief Wang muttered as he looked at the police car in the distance.
"People are doing their best, don't wronged others. Alain laughed from the side.
"People are right, you should hurry up and inform the people in the village, tell them not to run around at night, if something goes wrong, you can't eat and walk around." Liao Mu also joked.
Who knows, as soon as Lang Mo's words were finished, Village Chief Wang suddenly shouted: "Oops, how is this good." "Look at the first launch without ads, please come
