Chapter 001: A Boy in a Mountain Village

Next Chapter

The boy raised the wine gourd and took a big sip of wine, feeling the spicy liquor flowing in his throat, and burping happily, this was the most pleasant time of the day.

Wipe the wine stains from his mouth, and watch as a few ploughing oxen grazing on the meadow, he rode on one of them.

His name is Liang Qiuwu, his family lives in Changshan Village, and he is the shepherd boy of the Zhao village chief's family, managing the clothing, food, housing and transportation of more than 80 cattle of the Zhao family.

These cows look very strong and flexible, obviously fed with great care, Liang Qiuwu is closer to these cattle than his family, every day to let these cattle eat fresh grass, live in a clean and warm cowshed.

Looking at these cows, Liang Qiuwu thought to himself how good it would be if these cattle were his own, with these cows, he could make himself worry about food and clothing, be a rich man in the village, be happy every day, and not change it for a fairy.

It's a pity that that kind of thing can only be done in a dream, and the wine seems to have returned to reality after the wine, and he quickly took another sip of wine, Liang Qiuwu remembered that a few days ago there was a bright light on the fairy mountain not far away, and the divine light did not dissipate for three days and three nights, and the villagers said that it was a fairy manifestation, and they wanted to punish those who did evil, and give them the anger of these oppressed miserable people.

But Liang Qiuwu didn't see the immortals appear to save him until today, and his life was still as usual.

Recalling the world I lived in in my previous life, it is actually similar to the present, the same is involuntarily, but the most humble existence, and I can't get the kindness of this world.

He raised the wine gourd in his hand and took another sip, the spicy wine can take away all the pain in the world, and let people immerse themselves in a world without pain.

The gourd was filled with wine from the cellar of Zhaofu, which was regarded by Liang Qiuwu as his own salary for herding cattle, and Liang Qiuwu secretly filled some of the wine in the jar of Zhaofu's cellar into his gourd every time, and then filled the jar with water and put it in the innermost part of the wine cellar.

In this way, it has been doing it for several years, but no one has found out, in fact, Changshan Village is located in a remote area, and the village chief Zhao's family does not often entertain guests, and the old man can't drink much, so even if the wine cellar is full of wine, no one touches it all year round, and no one notices.

Wine is the essence of food, and it is very precious for farmers who are living in poverty. The wine cellar is piled up, but even if it can't be drunk, it is impossible to distribute it to the villagers.

Liang Qiuwu has been sitting on the back of the ploughing ox not because he is lazy, but because he will be hungry when he moves, and the cow is eating grass, but Liang Qiuwu can't also eat grass. He is just a shepherd boy from a poor family, and he eats less than two meals a day, and the staple food is dry steamed buns.

The cow is full, but Liang Qiuwu is not full, he only has a piece of dry steamed bun for lunch, his natural appetite is greater than others, and he is growing his body at this age, where are these enough, but for the sake of life, he can only endure it.

According to the previous experience of herding cattle, you should be able to find some wild vegetables on this mountain, and you can pick them back to make some wild vegetable soup.

He jumped off the back of the ox and went around the nearby hills, where there should be some wild vegetables, and Liang Qiuwu went to the hill to find out if there were any wild vegetables.

Living up to expectations, it took half a day to finally find some wild vegetables, which can be regarded as a small harvest.

Liang Qiuwu was only concerned about picking wild vegetables, and did not notice that a giant python hidden in the grass had slowly approached the group of cultivated cattle.

Giant python hunting will also have its own principles, so it is natural to choose relatively weak ones to start, but this giant python seems to have a lot of ambition, and picked a not too small cow to start attacking.

Naturally, the ploughing cattle struggled, but the other ploughing cattle did not help it, but ran away in fear. The python and the ploughing ox did not fight for too long, so they defeated the ploughing ox.

Liang Qiuwu turned his head when he heard the sound and saw that the ploughing ox on the grass was being devoured by the giant python, and the python opened its mouth several times wider and was swallowing the ploughing ox bit by bit.

Liang Qiuwu was also stunned on the side, he didn't expect this to be the case, he saw the fierce appearance of the giant python, and he didn't dare to make any moves for a while.

Seeing that the giant python had already swallowed half of the ploughing ox, Liang Qiuwu hurriedly found a stone and threw it at the giant python. The giant python couldn't move, and was hit by Liang Qiuwu's stone, and suddenly turned its head and looked at Liang Qiuwu with a fierce look.

The python's deformed face because of the excessively large mouth stared at Liang Qiuwu, as if it was observing whether Liang Qiuwu was a threat to him.

Liang Qiuwu was stared at by the giant python, and naturally felt very scared, but he didn't know where he got the courage, and knew that he couldn't let the ploughing cow be swallowed by the giant python, this ploughing ox was far more valuable than his own life, and he couldn't pay for it if he lost his life.

He picked up another stone and threw it at the python, which happened to hit the python's eyes, and the python seemed to be really angry.

The giant python let out a roar and spat the ploughing ox out so that he could free his hands to deal with Liang Qiuwu.

Seeing that the giant python was spitting out the Zhao family's ploughing cow, Liang Qiuwu was happy and afraid, so maybe the ploughing cow could be saved, but when the python freed his mouth, maybe it was himself who fell in his mouth.

Liang Qiuwu hurriedly ran up the hillside while shouting loudly, hoping to find someone to help him.

A few nearby villagers around were about to call it a day and go home, and when they heard Liang Qiuwu's shout, they hurried over to check.

They saw that the python was about to spit out the ploughing ox completely, but because it was stuck by the horns of the ploughing ox, it was very difficult to spit out the last section.

The villagers were also shocked when they saw this scene, they didn't expect such a giant python to appear here, everyone clenched the hoe in their hands and rushed down the mountain, it is very common to encounter such a beast in the wilderness, and it is a battle of life and death, in order to protect their property and life, human beings must fight with the beast.

There are many strange beasts outside the village, and it is only because the village is guarded by gods that those powerful beasts outside can be isolated.

When encountering such a fierce beast, it will either be eaten by the fierce beast, or it will eat the fierce beast in turn.

The villagers rushed to the side of the python, and the hoes, sickles and other farm tools in their hands were greeted together, and for a time the python was in pain, flaredly flicking its tail, and knocked several farmers away.

At the same time, the python quickly spit out the prey in its mouth, and wanted to free its hands to deal with these guys.

Liang Qiuwu also joined the battlefield, he naturally had his own plans, he wanted to drive away the giant python, rescue the cultivated cattle he managed, pick up a big stone to smash the python's head, at this moment the giant python couldn't move for a while, it was the best time.

The villagers were also very enthusiastic, and hurriedly came over to make a move, and the hoe smashed on the head of the big snake, making the giant python feel aggrieved.

The giant python was naturally even more crazy under the pain, spit out the prey in its mouth, and finally gained freedom, and the snake tail flicked several villagers who besieged it away.

Seeing Liang Qiuwu who was about to hit his head, the giant python soon rushed towards him, Liang Qiuwu hurriedly retreated in fear, but in a hurry, he tripped over the stone under his feet and fell to the ground.

The giant python quickly rushed over, and the surrounding villagers had already retreated, and Liang Qiuwu didn't have much resistance at all, so he was swallowed by the giant python.

Liang Qiuwu only felt that he had entered a dark space, and the smell around him was very fishy and unpleasant, and it was also filled with a lot of corrosive slime.

Liang Qiuwu guessed that he must have entered the belly of the python, and it was difficult to get out. He was still very young, but he was unwilling to die like this, and he was frantically kicking and kicking, trying to let the python let him out.
