I heard the old man say that in the early years, there was such a family of three living in Daze Mountain, a wife and a man in their thirties, and the two of them lived in the ravine with a half-sized son and a single family.

One afternoon of this year, my wife broke corn in the field by herself, broke and broken, and looked at the big sun on a good day, and suddenly I didn't know where to hit a thick cloud, and in the blink of an eye, the black blocked during the day was pressed, tight, dense and opaque, and then a cloud cat barked, and a gust of wind blew, and the rain of beans fell on the head. The old woman hurriedly put down her work and ran to the melon shed in the field.

Sheltering from the rain in the melon shed, the wife felt that her mouth was dry and she was very thirsty, so she rolled a corn leaf, held a roll of rainwater that stretched out of the melon shed, and drank it all as soon as she raised her neck.

After that, less than two months later, the wife was pregnant, and the shopkeeper was overjoyed to see that his wife was pregnant again.

When it was about the third month after she was conceived, one day in the middle of the night, the insects and birds were chirping, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and suddenly there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder, and the rain fell on the roof, crackling like falling stones and eggs. The wife listened to the sound of the rain and her stomach began to hurt, and felt that she was about to give birth, and the shopkeeper hurriedly helped her wife up.

The shopkeeper's black light blinded him when he heard his wife say that he had given birth, so he hurriedly turned on the lamp, and the candlelight shone on, and the shopkeeper was directly frightened and fainted, which was a child born to his wife, and the flower snake on the ground was obviously as thick as a rolling pin, but the neck was on the head of a child. The wife glanced down by the candlelight, and was so frightened that she fell off the kang and fell on her heels. This human-headed snake opened his eyes as soon as he was born, and looked at her with watery eyes, but he couldn't make a sound in his mouth, and when he saw this wife fall off the kang, he crawled over and helped the wife up with his body.

This wife and man are kind-hearted, and they feel that after all, it is the flesh and blood that fell from their bodies, and the virtue of this human head snake does not look like an evil thing, so they raise this human head snake as a son. He set up a hut outside the wing house for him to live in, and when it was time to eat, he asked the eldest son to go to the hut to bring him food, although the head snake gave birth to a human head, but did not eat grains, only drank some goat's milk, pig milk, and ate some meat and meat.

After a few months, the snake grows to the thickness of an arm, and will go out to eat on its own. During the day, he slept in the hut and did not go out for fear of scaring people, and went into the mountains at night to hunt and eat raw meat and drink animal blood, but he never hurt people. Not only does the head snake not need to be fed by the family, but every morning when he comes back from hunting, he will bring some hares, pheasants, wild ducks and the like to the family, and the eldest son will carry them to the market to sell some copper plates to subsidize the family, and the family is a little more prosperous.

Spring goes to autumn, so after a few years, the head snake grows bigger and bigger, a big face grows to the size of a basin, the big body is as thick as an old stump, every night a black wind enters the mountain, and in the morning a black wind comes back, and what he brings home is not pheasants, hares, wild ducks, but wild boars, bison, and roe deer, although outsiders do not know, but the cottage at home can no longer accommodate him.

So one night the wife and the man made a table of wine and food, and asked the eldest son to call the head snake from the hut to eat, the head snake entered the main house, and saw this table full of wine and food, and his heart understood seven or eight points, his father took the wine glass to salute him, and the head snake used his tail to coil the wine glass and drank it all. His father opened his mouth and said, since the birth of the child came to our house, we have not treated the child badly, but now it is too big, about to become a way, and it is not convenient to go in and out, although the temperament is tame, but after all, it is a foreign body, it is better to go into the mountain to find a place to live in the future, I let the eldest brother go into the mountain from time to time to see the mountain, report a safe or something.

After eating this table of food with his family, the head snake crawled out of the door, looked back with tears in his eyes, bowed his head to his parents three times, and entered the mountain with a gust of black wind.
