It is said that one day ten years ago, three sixteen-year-old children married in Taoyuan in this yard and prepared to go out to work. The three of them had been preparing in secret for a long time. Before dawn one day, they gathered at the edge of the small river at the mouth of the gap in the east of the village.

Wang Jin didn't sleep all night, and in the morning, when the sky was just white, he drilled through the window, climbed the backyard and escaped from the house. didn't wait to walk to the entrance of the village, and met his father Wang Fu head-on. Wang Fu held an old and thick stick in his hand, walked up and didn't beat him, but said: You are an ignorant baby, you don't learn the craft of the family, why do you run out of the family?

Wang Jinfang didn't dare to let go, and the plan failed.

After coming back, Wang didn't say anything, only that the child was older. The two heads of the family feel that these babies are not at fault except for recklessness.

Wang Fu looked for several leading figures in the village at that time. Let's talk about future livelihoods. This is an important question related to the future development direction of the village! The old village branch uncle Cao Abba presided.

The topic of the meeting: mainly to discuss how to drive the village and become self-sufficient! At that time, the government's financial allocation was used to build schools and roads. The business of purchasing medicinal materials that used to come to the village is now managed by the state, and the financial route that Yaowang Valley has relied on for generations to make a living has been cut off.

Someone in the village suggested that he go out and sell medicinal herbs. However, every year when people go out, a series of problems such as transportation, transportation, and storage of medicinal materials all involve one thing, that is, money.

The branch secretary called on everyone to get together, but whose family had living money, so it was fruitless many times. Wang Fu also racked his brains for this matter, and finally moved the attention of the snake!

At the meeting, he suggested that the snake was full of treasures. Snakes can be used in medicine, snake meat is edible, and snake gall is a treasure. It's just that at that time, how could he have imagined that the artificial breeding industry could later become an important source of income? Nowadays, there are reports that 3 million snakes will be raised in a village in China, which is a true thing, and it can be found on the Internet.

In the end, everyone spent a long time and moved the idea of catching the strange snake. Wang Fu put forward this unique idea, and a group of people led by Cao Aba strongly opposed it.

Some old people in the Wang family said that the training rules: strange snakes cannot be caught. If you ask the reason, Zu Xun has a clear answer, and he speaks very directly, it is six words: no reason, don't speak!

Wang Fu knew about this training. Speaking of the ancestors' description of the snake, there are a few sentences, which can be regarded as a general chapter, and to put it bluntly, it is the central idea.

Don't be afraid of big snakes, afraid of small snakes, not afraid of fierce snakes, afraid of snakes. Don't find grass everywhere, the world is in danger!

It's just that Wang Fu has his reasoning, the more strange the snakes, the more effective the medicine is. So, take the risk and catch it once and take the snake gall. Go out to the market and promote it, maybe you can open up sales. Naturally, the rules of the ancestors will still be followed.

Right now, the days are getting harder and harder, and seeing that the days in the city are getting better and better, I want to come to the ancestors to forgive. Moreover, there are so many technological devices in hand now; Flashlight, electrician's shoes, rubber gloves. Plus the family heirloom of snake catching.

Finally, he added: My father, you have seen it. I'm just again, and my father's species. The general five steps, the silver krait, can't hurt us. Everyone saw that even the dead Wang Yun had moved out, and you had to take the lead, so there was no objection. Someone asked: Do you want to attract the attention of the spirit snake in our mountain this time? When Wang Fu nodded, many people stuck out their tongues.

According to legend, there is a strange snake in the mountains around Yaoo Valley that can grow night pearls on its head. It is extremely poisonous, and those who have been bitten by it will not live for more than 10 minutes, and the death is extremely terrifying. First his whole body was swollen, and then he was bleeding. Finally, in the midst of painful struggles, he died of respiratory failure. Consciousness can be kept awake at the time of death. The snake was agile and did not find a trace after biting, and since there were no survivors, the snake became a local secret.

Someone reminded Wang Fu that there were still people in my family who were bitten to death by this spirit snake in their previous life, for sure! There are them on this mountain. It's just that you don't have an antidote, isn't it the same as going through the ghost gate!

Wang Fu has his reasoning: the number of these snakes is very small, and it is not certain whether they can be touched or not. Don't you want to see what's going on with the Night Pearl? Our people from Shu have a bold personality, and they were shirtless on the battlefield in ancient times, and they never wore armor. Why is it like this when it comes to the spirit snake? To do it or not to do it, it's been broken earlier. In the end, it was unanimously adopted. After a few days of preparation, the village leaders began to go up the mountain to hunt snakes.

At that time, Wang Jin also had to accompany him, Wang Fu asked him to stay at home honestly, your grandfather's craft, you haven't learned it at all. Isn't it looking for death when you go? Wang Jin was not convinced: This craft is still taught by people? Just take a look at it. When you hunt, I don't look at it less, and no one is necessarily smart. When Wang Fu heard this, he was also happy, and said that he would wait for two years and then take you up the mountain.

So, in a month, the snake catching team organized by the village did catch some snakes. There are all kinds of snakes. Poisonous snakes: five-step snakes, silver krait, pit vipers. The largest non-venomous snake is 5 or 6 catties, and it is inevitable that it will be killed by the villagers and brought back to make delicious dishes. However, the legendary spirit snake has never even seen a shadow.

On this day, the weather was bad, the fog was heavy for a day, and the air pressure was also very low. When I got up in the morning, the snake catching team was not all there. Some people said let's disperse, let's talk about it another day.

Wang Fu felt that this was the time when the snake was most active, and when people were uncomfortable, the snake was comfortable. How can you manage your own hard work by doing this? So, the last 7 people went up the mountain to look for snakes. Maybe I was lucky in the morning, and I went all the way west from the north mountain, and I harvested 5 five-step snakes and 2 cauliflower snakes of more than one pound in the morning. The hearts of the people rejoiced. I didn't have enough to eat lunch, so I drove from the north mountain to the west mountain in a counterclockwise direction.

Strange to say, from 12 until 3 p.m., not a single snake was seen. Even the common pheasants and weasels were not seen. Everyone went straight to the Medicine King hoe, which is the rock wall we talked about earlier. Everyone stopped and rested. Some drink water, some smoke, and some simply lie down and take a nap.

Wang Fu smoked dry tobacco, but this was not taught by his father. Let's say that Wang Fu smoked a cigarette, looked up at the rock wall in front of him, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some gaps in the halfway of the rock wall. There might have been a snake there, so he beckoned everyone to get ready to go up and find out. Everyone saw that the mountain wall was steep, and it took so much effort for a snake, not to mention that they had been tired for a day, and it was about to get dark, so they did not want to go up.

Wang Fu, as the leader, was very angry when he saw that no one responded to his orders. The heart said, "This is worth it." In fact, he has some ideas himself, including the position of the village chief, and he has not moved his mind once. However, his father just can't look down on him. At this time, it's time to show your own hands, and show you cowards what kind of character my Wang Fu is. So I decided to go up on my own. Everyone has been mixed out of the mountains and old forests for many years. The mountain is steeper, but there is absolutely no danger.

Wang Fu also planned to just go up to have a look, so he didn't make any preparations, spit two mouthfuls of spit into the palm of his hand and began to climb up. The place was only six or seven meters high, and there were weeds underneath, so even if it fell, it would be fine. That's it, Wang Fu climbed to that gap, and he was also a little physically exhausted. He raised his hands above his head and gasped against the cliff. He kicked his feet together and poked his head up.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Wang Fu only felt that the golden light flashed in front of him, and he didn't see anything. Suddenly, there was a hot burst on his mouth, and with a bang, he fell down. Maybe in mid-air, he understood something, he was bitten by a snake. And it's ...... Ay! I bit into the inside of my mouth.

In the person's account, Wang Fu fell from the rock wall, and when everyone caught him, he was already unconscious. When they were carried back to the east of the village, the courtyard of the Wang family, the people were no longer the same. The overall brain is swollen like a molted pig's head, watery, and the person has already swallowed his breath.

Wang Jin came back from outside, and when he saw Wang, Wang had already cried into a tearful person. Wang was still pointing at Wang Fu's corpse and scolding. You are a family heirloom pig's head craft, you are scolding your ancestors as a tribute? Leave our mother and son behind, what will you live on in the future! You don't know the height of the sky, that spirit snake, our ancestors don't dare to provoke, you want to use the tooth protection of the Lord of Yama?

At this moment, a living person is gone, and this person is still his own father. How many people in their lives do not have a blank heart when that pillar suddenly collapses?

It wasn't until his uncle and a few clansmen arrived that Wang Jin came to his senses. Holding back tears, he helped his mother back to the house. I left everything to my uncle. The uncle looked at his brother, whose face was now swollen like a pig's head, and asked those people: He, how was he bitten? One of them made a pull-up pose on the spot, and looked at it with his mouth open.

Uncle understood, he patted his head and said in his heart: It's over, the reputation of my Wang family for several generations is completely in the hands of this brother.
