It's a cave again, and it looks like such a big python can only live in a cave. But where is there so many caves for it to live in, the key is to have such a big hole.

Those ordinary people stood more than ten feet away from the entrance of the cave and did not dare to step forward again. No wonder, you can smell the pungent smell of fish, as well as the smell of blood, from so far away. "Peanut" designation was inside.

"Ryoko!"

Ryoko's father shouted there from afar. After shouting a few times, he stopped for a while before a roar came from inside. It was the voice of the python "Peanut", and I had heard it roar when it was fighting Qingyun before. Now when he roars, his voice seems to be lacking, but it is like a wail before death, and it seems that he is afraid of being bullied by others.

The people were frightened and took a few steps back.

"Daddy?"

There were human voices in the cave. It is a young child's voice, and anyone can hear the trill.

"Son, you're in there, are you alright?"

After a while, a figure came out of the hole. This hole is really not small, and a teenager can actually stand up straight. No one dared to step forward until Ryoko walked out of the cave ten meters away. A man rushed out and held the child in his arms.

This is a happy ending.

"That...... Sir, what about the snake in the cave?" the people were safe, and they began to think about what to do with the badly injured snake inside. Didn't they come here to "eliminate harm" at the beginning, and they also brought an old way. A man of some age asked me. He didn't know what my name was, and he didn't know who I was, so he called me "sir." That's a very respectful title.

"Go back first, and I'll go to the cave and see." ”

"Sir, that's a giant python, what if...... Even if it's dying, it's a beast that can hurt people. ”

"You don't have to worry about me, go back quickly, don't go the same way, it's not good to meet those two old ways of fighting. ”

The men agreed and hurried back. They have never seen such an "exciting" scene, and they know the truth of avoiding if they can.

When they were gone, I tentatively entered the cave, and I almost had to climb into the low cave. The ground was wet, with blood and snow. And, of course, the feces left behind by peanuts, with a pungent stench.

If it weren't for Ming Chong's serious plea for me, I wouldn't have been taken to the cave to climb. Peanut seemed to know that I was coming in, and moved twice in front of me, probably seeing that I didn't mean to stop, so he gave up.

It was lying on the ground with its tail facing outward, and I crawled along its tail for a while, and when I crawled to its injured part, people like me, who are accustomed to life and death, couldn't help but gasp.

When the python "Peanut" saw me approaching, his body squirmed again, his head slightly raised half a meter, looked at me, and then collapsed on the ground. Those big eyes glowed with a dull yellow light in the darkness. I couldn't help but be frightened in my heart, hoping that this guy could still miss the "old love".

The pungent smell of blood made me feel even more uncomfortable bending over, and the torch I had held in my hand when I entered the cave was now almost extinguished, and the already scarce air in the cave was still filthy.

The wound of "Peanut" is about more than a meter long, and the old man Qingyun is really vicious. The wound extends diagonally from the back to the abdomen.

Not only the skin is open, but even the internal organs in the belly and abdomen are flowing out. It's so easy to see it, and I'm thinking about how to save it. After all, Ming Chong explained, I don't think this python is dead yet, so I think it's for the sake of conscience.

First of all, I had to sew up the belly of the python "Peanut", and the wound that was deep in the back was already incomprehensible. First of all, you should build a fire, collect enough snow water, clear and clean the internal organs of the python flowing outside, and then stuff it back into your stomach. During this time, I was dizzy and almost unconscious several times due to the smell of fish.

"Life or death depends on your creation. "I have to give it stitches, I'm afraid that it will hurt me and hurt me, so I should make it clear to him first, "I'm going to give you stitches, and you can bear the pain." ”

There was no needle and thread, but short swords and hemp rope were ready-made. Even if I had an ordinary needle and thread on me, I am afraid it would not be of much use. The python, which is thicker than a bucket, has skin so rough that a sewing needle can't get into it at all. I can only use the short sword left by Shang Ning'er to poke small holes in the edges of its cracked skin, and then disassemble the braided hemp rope, and choose a suitable thickness to hold through the small holes with my hand. It's like tying a shoelace and tying a knot at the end.

Although it may seem unprofessional, at least the guts of "Peanuts" will never flow out again. By the time the wound on his back was closed, my hands were a little immobile. The soreness of long-term, high-intensity labor is long gone, and I don't feel the pain anymore.

Chickens were already heard crowing outside. The sky is about to dawn, and I see that the python "Peanut" is not dead, and his head will move from time to time, so I am relieved. You can't die for the time being. After the jīng god relaxed, I felt so sleepy, and at this time I forgot about the fishy smell, maybe I also got used to it, and I fell asleep in a daze.

I was awakened by the commotion outside. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the body of the python "Peanut". The noise outside is human voices. I got up and climbed to the edge of the cave, and I saw two men piling hay not far from the hole.

"What are you going to do!" the glare of the sun made me get used to it for a minute. I knew they wanted to light a fire and smoke the peanuts out of it.

"Oh, sir, why are you still in there. "Someone actually knows me," don't be hurt by that hairless brute. ”

I could see that it was Ryoko's father who was rescued last night who was talking to me.

"What are you going to do?" I asked again.

"Of course, I called out this harmful beast and slaughtered it. ”

"How do you know it's harmful?"

"Needless to say, Brother Liu's Liangzi was taken away by this beast and almost eaten. A younger junior shouted.

"Aoyama, don't be so rude to Mr. "It's still Ryoko's father who is old and knows things," Sir, you also saw that Ryoko was still in this hole last night. ”

"Besides Ryoko, who else has been eaten by a python? Have you ever gone missing in the town recently?"

"I haven't heard of that. ”

"You've seen a snake that big, if it eats people, it will eat several children in a day's work, right? That can only show that the python in here does not eat people. ”

"You can't just say that this python doesn't eat people. Even if it doesn't eat people now, there's no guarantee that it won't eat people in the future. Who has ever seen such a big python, maybe it has become a jīng, and the Taoist leader almost killed it, but he can't let it breathe again. ”

"With me here, you say that if you go through the sky, you can't move the python even once. ”

"Sir, why do you do this. Ryoko and his father looked at me with horror.

I knew that my eyes must be too scary, and when I looked down, I still had a short sword in my hand, covered in snake blood. It's no wonder they're scared.

"Call your son. ”

"What is the gentleman going to do?"

"I'm just going to ask him. With that, I walked out of the cave and came to a pine tree with a thick bowl mouth, and with a palm of my hand, I slapped the pine tree at the waist, "Go quickly, if you still want to attack the python in the cave, I will let you end up like this pine tree." You don't need to call me Mr. Sir, who of you knows that I am the demon king who kills people without blinking. ”

"The gentleman said with a smile, I'll go and call Ryoko. There must be some misunderstanding in this, just make it clear. ”

"Okay, go ahead. ”

Ryoko's father agreed, and left with a young man. The rest of the people were still standing ten feet away from the entrance of the cave, their eyes fixed on me and the entrance of the cave.

"Is there anything to eat?" I asked. I haven't eaten a bite of food since yesterday afternoon, and I've been tossing the mountain road for so long.

There were people who brought dry food with them. They didn't seem to be afraid of me, and handed me a few pieces of sweet potatoes that had cooled down, and cornmeal cakes. It's just so tired and dry that it almost choked me to death.

After waiting for half an hour, Ryoko came back with his father.

"Ryoko, tell me about what happened yesterday. ”

The kid named Ryoko also looked at me with some horror, even though I had put away the dagger.

"You name it, no one will blame you. "I tried to lighten the mood, but it didn't seem to work out.

In the end, Ryoko still told us about what happened yesterday afternoon with tears in her eyes.
