Chapter 231: Cutting the grass to the roots

Ten minutes later, Deng Youde carried the little boy with a snake body and human face on his back, and I grabbed a branch and limped and dragged my body to Liucun.

The little boy with the snake body had already fallen asleep, and his body was lying on Deng Youde's body, except for the head that was still exposed, and the part below the neck was covered by me with clothes, so as to avoid the abnormality of the little boy being recognized by the villagers as soon as we returned to Liucun.

Along the way, Deng Youde was almost muttering about how could I have a conscience and want to bring it back to Liucun, aren't you afraid that this little boy will grow up and avenge my mother and destroy me?

To be honest, I still have this worry, but every time I have this thought, my mind suddenly remembers the words that the big black snake said to me before he died.

The big black snake is innocent, but this little boy is innocent after all.

Deng Youde said that this little boy should be the offspring of the combination of the big black snake and humans, and the big black snake is so disgusted with humans, maybe it has something to do with the little boy's human father.

I don't know exactly what this is about, but right now, I really can't bear to kill the big black snake and leave this little boy to fend for himself in the wilderness.

I thought about bringing it back to Yanagi Village first, maybe the butcher and the drunkard had something they could do......

I don't know what Deng Youde used, but he just sprinkled the medicine powder on the little boy's body, and the little boy didn't wake up until now.

On the way back to Liucun, it was getting dark, and when we returned to Liucun, I first asked Deng Youde to carry the little boy with a snake body and human face back to the house where I lived, and I went straight to the noisiest part of the village.

Before I could get closer, I saw from a distance that there were quite a few villagers gathered in the middle of the village.

The villagers all looked excited, as if they were discussing something important, and several of them had already raised their hands and shouted loudly from their mouths.

"I said that the evil boy was definitely going to run, you still don't believe it, but now it's okay, I haven't even seen a figure." A middle-aged man said to the villagers beside him.

"If it weren't for Uncle Tian's face, I wouldn't have let that kid out of the village, now it's okay, the people have run away, and it's too late to catch him......," another villager responded.

The rest of the villagers also echoed one after another, and among them, I also saw the middle-aged woman who had lost her husband, and she cried with tears and snot, which provoked several villagers around me to greet my whole family directly.

I looked up and saw that in the crowd, the butcher had a straight face, not saying a word.

But the old guy of the drunkard was calming the villagers and telling them to be patient, saying that I was not the one who ran away without saying a word, but the comfort of the drunkard was obviously useless......

I shook my head, thinking that it was time for me to go over and give an explanation to the villagers.

I resisted the weakness of my body and walked slowly.

I first pushed away the outermost villagers who were chattering and scolding me, and when they saw me coming, they were stunned......

"Is that him?"

"He's coming back......"

"He seems to be injured, no, you see how he has a long snake tail on his hands......"

The voices of the villagers quickly attracted the attention of the others, and in a short time, the eyes of many villagers quickly converged on me.

Even the middle-aged woman stopped crying......

I walked up to the crowd and smiled at the butcher and the drunkard.

"You're back, hehe, I knew you little guy wouldn't be a deserter." The butcher grinned at me with big yellow teeth.

The butcher glanced at me, his gaze resting on the snake's tail that I was clutching in my hand.

This snake tail was brought down by Deng Youde for me on the big black snake, just one tail, more than a meter long.

I held the snake's tail to the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister, I have found and ......killed your husband's murderer," I said.

When the middle-aged woman saw the slender snake tail I was holding in my hand, her face was shocked!

But soon, she looked at the butcher to hear what he had to say.

The butcher took the snake tail in my hand, looked at it carefully, first asked where the big black snake was found, and finally said to many villagers: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me, the murderer of Lao Liu and Lao Zheng has been found, it is a big black snake that has become a sperm!" ”

As soon as the butcher's loud voice fell, everyone on the field immediately looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

And at this moment, before some villagers could question it, Deng Youde had already come over.

"Villagers, I can prove that Zhou Lingfeng has killed the snake spirit, and I helped him get the snake tail, and he was bitten by the snake spirit on the shoulder, and the snake venom has not been completely cleaned up...... If you still don't believe me, you can come with me tomorrow morning to see the corpse of the snake spirit. ”

Under Deng Youde's testimony, the villagers who originally thought I had escaped and scolded him all lowered their heads and turned red.

And those who still wanted to question were suddenly gagged by Deng Youde, and they could only look at me blankly, with a shocked face.

The silence on the field did not last long, the butcher raised my hand and said to the villagers: "Doctor Deng has testified, I believe everyone should have no objections, tomorrow morning I will personally go over to see the corpse of the snake spirit, but here, I hope you can apologize to him, not for anything else, just for the misunderstanding of him these days." ”

The butcher's words were loud, and the villagers suddenly became a little embarrassed.

This person, when he usually speaks ill of others behind his back, it's called a cheer.

And once you have to apologize and admit your mistakes to others face-to-face, it is like a twisted cucumber, not sweet......

However, the other people hesitated, but the middle-aged woman who had beaten me took the initiative to go into the crowd, pulled up her two sons, and then walked in front of me and knelt on the ground.

"It's me who blames you, I'm sorry, Xiaozhi Xiaolei, say sorry to my brother."

The middle-aged woman's action surprised me, I wasn't much interested in these apologies or anything, and now I quickly pulled up the middle-aged woman and the two little boys.

"Sister, hurry up, I can't stand ......"

I had just pulled the middle-aged woman and two little boys up on my side, and a few villagers on the other side were shouting sparsely.

"I scolded you, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"

"I've scolded you too, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I'm sorry ......"

Almost all of a sudden, the apologies rang out one after another, and the situation was completely different from the posture when he denounced me just now.

I hurriedly signaled that the big guy didn't need to apologize, since the murderer had already come out, it was no fun to dwell on these apologies or anything.

I'm not a hypocritical person in the first place, but now I've proven my innocence, and apologizing or not apologizing is simply dispensable for me......

After ten minutes, the villagers gradually dispersed, and the butcher glanced at me and said, "You come back, does Sanniang know?" ”

I shook my head, "I just came back, Sanniang doesn't know yet, by the way, the two seniors come with me." ”

After saying that, I took the butcher, the drunkard, and Deng Youde to the house where I lived.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a little boy with a snake face lying on the bed.

The little boy was sleeping soundly on the bed with his eyes closed.

As soon as the butcher and the drunkard walked in, different from my calmness, there was a hint of consternation on the faces of the two old fellows.

"Little one, what is this?" The drunkard asked.

I explained, "This is the offspring of the big black snake. ”

As I spoke, I lifted the quilt from the little boy's body, revealing the slender snake's tail beneath him.

The drunkard and the butcher looked at each other, and then the butcher glanced at the little boy on the bed and said to me, "Have you heard a word?" ”

"What?"

"Cut the grass to eradicate the ......"

When the butcher's voice fell, I raised my eyebrows, and immediately shook my head with a firm face: "No, I want to keep him, senior drunkard, is there any way to help me hide his snake tail?" ”
