There is a vegetable patch in the backyard, which is the vegetables, melons and fruits planted by Zhao Liniang, Wang Qi, Xiaobai and Xiaohei. After lunch, Zhao Liniang took Lin Wan to the backyard to visit the vegetable field, and picked some fresh vegetables as ingredients for the evening.

A large flat meadow is enclosed next to the vegetable patch, and a large flock of chickens and ducks of various sizes are raised. Some chicks and ducklings have just been able to walk, and they are very cute. "Chirping" after the mother chicken or the mother duck, and you can't tell who is whose mother.

Zhao Qingpeng caught two and a half chickens and planned to bring them to the golden python and the little white tiger.

Lin Wan was stunned, frowned slightly, and asked curiously, "Uncle Qingpeng, do you give food to the golden python every day?"

Zhao Qingpeng smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "No." The golden python has lived in this valley of despair for nearly a hundred years, and it has its own way of survival. I only send him some live poultry once in a while, otherwise there won't be enough chickens and ducks to feed him for a month. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked again, "Uncle Qingpeng, do you know what the golden python usually eats, and what will it give Xiao Qi to eat?"

Zhao Qingpeng pondered for a moment and said, "I once saw a golden python hunting pheasants, hares, field mice, and birds in the woods. In this mountain, as long as it is a living thing, it should not be able to escape the tracking of the golden python. As for what it will give Xiao Qi to eat, I don't know. I heard you say yesterday that Xiao Qi is less than a month old, and he only dares to eat cooked food, but I'm afraid that he is still hungry. ”

Zhao Liniang sighed lightly, and continued with sympathy in her eyes: "In the morning, when Qingpeng and I passed by the stone room, we saw Xiao Qi huddled in the corner, watching us leave, and that look was quite pitiful. ”

Lin Wan felt a pain in her heart, looked at the chicken in Zhao Qingpeng's hand, and said with some hesitation: "Are we going to cook these two chickens and send them to Xiao Qi?"

Zhao Qingpeng shook his head with a chuckle, and said: "Wan'er, Xiao Qi is a tiger, it always has to grow up, it has to adapt to life in the mountains and forests, you can't always protect it and help it." The golden python left it in the stone room, no matter what the purpose was, it was a good thing for Xiao Qi. ”

Lin Wan sighed lightly, nodded, and said, "Uncle Qingpeng is right, I think so too, so I left it in the stone room, I know that the golden python will not harm it." However, I was afraid that Xiao Qi was too young and stubborn, and there was no way to adapt to that kind of life quickly. I thought, maybe I can take my time. ”

Zhao Liniang smiled slightly, walked to Lin Wan's side, took her hand, and comforted: "Wan'er, don't worry, let's go see Xiao Qi together, maybe it's doing well there?"

Lin Wan nodded and said happily, "Well, mother, let's go." After speaking, he took Zhao Liniang's hand and walked towards the back mountain.

When the three of them came to the back mountain, Lin Wan looked at the plank road stretching out of the cliff, and couldn't help but gasp again.

Zhao Liniang smiled and said, "Wan'er, don't be afraid, you will get used to it after walking a few more times, I was also scared at first, but now I am not afraid at all." This plank road was built by the two dark brothers and Qingpeng themselves, it is very safe, and it will definitely not fall. ”

Lin Wan nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes, mother, I also know that this plank road is very safe, but I still can't restrain the fear in my heart, I'm really useless." ”

Zhao Liniang glanced at Lin Wan and said softly: "Who said that my Wan'er is useless? Don't be afraid, my mother will hold your hand and go down together, don't look down, just look at my mother, just follow my mother, okay?"

Lin Wan nodded obediently, did not speak again, held Zhao Liniang's hand, carefully stepped on the plank road, and walked towards the cave step by step.

Zhao Liniang walked in front and held Lin Wan's hand, making Lin Wan feel warm and relieved. Zhao Qingpeng followed behind Lin Wan, carefully looking at the two women in front of him, if anything happened, he could rescue him in time.

After a while, they arrived at the cave, and the bloodthirsty lotus was still half-open, I don't know if it was because of the blood that I had sucked Lin Wan yesterday, it was much brighter than before.

Lin Wan thought for a while and asked Zhao Qingpeng, "Uncle Qingpeng, does Uncle Medical Saint still come to feed some blood to the bloodthirsty lotus every once in a while?"

Zhao Qingpeng nodded and said, "Yes, the senior of the Medical Saint will come every once in a while to sprinkle this bloodthirsty lotus flower with some fresh blood mixed with potions. However, even if the predecessors of the medical saint do not come, this flower will not die. Because, I have seen the golden python deliberately injure its own tail and drip blood on this flower. Presumably, when the predecessors of the medical saint did not come here, it was the golden python who took care of it. ”

Lin Wan nodded suddenly in realization, the bloodthirsty lotus flower is always undefeated, she has always felt puzzled in her heart, but she didn't expect that the answer was so simple. This bloodthirsty lotus flower has sucked the blood of the Martial Saint Feng Qianyu, and the blood of the divine beast Qinglong, and the medical saint Yao Zhongzhao also fed it with rare medicinal materials, it is no longer an ordinary blood lotus.

The three of them walked down the passage and headed towards the stone chamber. Lin Wan stood at the door of the stone room, and he didn't dare to go in to face the little white tiger, and he didn't dare to look at its pitiful, resentful eyes.

Zhao Liniang glanced at Lin Wan clearly, did not urge her, and Zhao Qingpeng glanced at each other, and the two took the lead in the stone room together.

Lin Wan stood outside the stone room, listening to the movement inside, but did not hear the voice of the little white tiger.

Zhao Qingpeng and the golden python greeted politely, and then threw the two chickens in their hands into a corner of the stone room, only to hear the sound of the two chickens fluttering their wings, and "cooing" in panic.

Lin Wan pondered outside for a while before taking a deep breath, walking towards the stone room, and catching the little white tiger in the corner for the first time. I saw it shrink into a ball, and its expression was sluggish.

However, as soon as he saw Lin Wan, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up, screamed "whoop" in his mouth, and quickly rushed towards Lin Wan.

Lin Wan's face also raised a smile, and he bent down to hug it. However, as soon as he squatted down, he saw a golden tail in front of the little white tiger, and quickly rolled the little white tiger back and fell into the corner.

The little white tiger roared angrily at the golden python, and the fierceness in his eyes was something Lin Wan had never seen. It bared its little tiger teeth, bit the tail of the golden python, and used its sharp little claws to grasp the golden python's body, but no matter what it did, it could not hurt the golden python in the slightest.

The golden scales on the golden python's body were as hard as iron, biting the little white tiger's teeth and mouth, and it didn't bite the scales on the golden python's body.

However, the little white tiger did not give up, and it fought against the golden python unrelentingly, as if it had some deep hatred.

Lin Wan looked at this scene distressedly, happy and worried in her heart, like a kind mother, watching her children grow up injured and grow up in injury.
