Chapter Ninety-Eight: Green Snake Village
As Lang Zhong, Li Yingyuan is best at dissection, so he carried the bodies of these monsters back to the Tao family, borrowed the case board, and carefully analyzed them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I saw that the internal structure of this snake was no different from that of ordinary snakes, but the bones were a little thicker, and there were four legs on the torso, but I didn't know what kind of breed it was.
After careful inspection, there were no toxins on the teeth, and then the meat was thrown to the chickens and ducks at home, and the chickens and ducks were all alive and kicking, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.
"It's a bunch of mutated water snakes. Li Yingyuan finally came to the conclusion that he felt that he had just encountered a nest of mutated water snakes, and it was no big deal.
"As long as it's not a monster, that's fine. Tao An took a group of men to watch Li Yingyuan's operation, and then he was relieved.
I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it to be just the beginning. The next day, a man wrapped in a cyan turban came to him, saying that the people of Shuangpu Village had offended the snake god they had offered to him, and that he had killed the four-horned snake general who had been raised, and that he would pay 50 taels of silver for compensation, and that he would hand over the snake killer and give it to the snake god.
The people of Shuangpu Village are afraid of monsters they have never seen, but they are not afraid of people, and they beat people out in a fit of rage.
"I'm afraid it's not over. Li Yingyuan watched the man being beaten out, and didn't forget to say cruelly that the snake god would come over in a few days to condemn him, and couldn't help but think about it.
"What else can you do? Not to mention that you are the junior brother of King Xie Fa, even if you are a passerby, there is no reason to hand over people to the snake god that you have never heard of.
Raise a few four-horned snakes that don't bite people, and dare to call them snake gods, and we still worship Maitreya Buddha, what are you afraid of. After knowing that those four-legged snakes were harmless, Tao An's mentality changed, and he didn't care about any snake god at all.
"In this world, what is terrible is not the monsters, but the human heart. I still have five or six firecrackers in my house, you know, get me a few people, and I'll teach them how to use them. Li Yingyuan said.
"You're right, you have to be careful, it seems that we have to send some more people this night. Tao An has also experienced things and immediately understood.
This Taixi firearm is not small, but the operation is a bit cumbersome, and it took Li Yingyuan an an hour to teach Tao An and the five men he brought how to use this firecracker.
The other two hunted for a living, but they only watched it a few times before they learned how to use it.
"It is said that this Tessie fire gun is very powerful, but we want to see if it is true. The hunter, who was in his early twenties, picked up his spear, his eyes lit up, and he was about to test his power with a shot, but it was not easy for Tao An to stop him.
Li Yingyuan went to the outside of the village with these people, found a wooden plank and brick or something to make a target, and practiced shooting.
A shot passed only to see debris flying, and although everyone's accuracy was not very good, the power of the musket was unquestionable.
Tao An also fought with others for a while when he was young, and these descendants brought by him were all bloody and strong, and they were all cherished by the musket at this time.
It's just that the musket bullets are limited, Li Yingyuan asked each person to put ten shots, and after trying the feel, he put away the ammunition, and instead asked them to roll up branches and other branches with paper to load ammunition, and practice the steps such as shooting bullets and clearing the chamber.
This set of movements must be repeated hundreds or thousands of times by each person, and must be practiced until they are extremely proficient. In order to avoid anyone slackening, he also accompanied them with a short gun to practice.
"It's nothing. I used to watch the English train soldiers in Dinghai, and I had to repeat the practice thousands of times every day. Li Yingyuan said, encouraging them to practice diligently: "We have more people here and fewer guns, and whoever loads quickly and shoots accurately in the future will let him hold a gun in the future." ā
These people all had some lazy thoughts after the initial freshness passed, and when they heard Li Yingyuan say this, they had to continue to insist.
"Everybody cheered up and practiced well. Brother Li has taken out such good things as muskets for our village, don't think about being lazy. Tao An has practiced a lot of times, and he is also a little tired, so at this time, he can only grit his teeth and stand up to encourage everyone to practice guns.
From this day onwards, Li Yingyuan has one more thing to do every day, that is, in addition to practicing boxing every day, he also has to take these people to practice guns for at least two hours a day.
Each person can shoot five shots a day, among which the two fastest guns can shoot five more shots, in addition, Li Yingyuan also has money anyway, so he let everyone eat with him, and supply them with big fish and meat.
At this time, many people looked greedy, and a few more descendants came over and said that they also wanted to learn guns, and Li Yingyuan accepted them together.
After five or six days, something happened. At night, there were more than a dozen dark shadows trying to touch the village, but fortunately, the village has been vigilant for the past few days, and there have been patrols at night, and when they found it in advance, they struck a gong and woke everyone up.
Those people knew that the sneak attack was hopeless, so they screamed and asked the village to make offerings to the green snake village, otherwise the snake god would be condemned.
However, Shuangpu Village was originally a place where Mingjiao members gathered, and they usually didn't even listen to the words of the government, so they had the courage to pick up their guns and load bullets, and they aimed at those people and hit them.
After a while, I heard a scream from there, and when Tao An and Li Yingyuan took guns and led the villagers to surround them, those people ran away quickly, not daring to confront the villagers who were outnumbered.
However, they ran away, and the matter was not over. It wasn't long before there was a rustling sound, and dozens of four-legged snakes came out of the water and stormed the village.
It's just that in the past, the people in the village were in awe of the four-legged snake because they had never seen it and did not know its reality. Last time, I saw Li Yingyuan beating those snakes like chopping melons and vegetables, but after seeing that it was just a non-venomous water snake, there were few who were afraid, and waited with harpoons and wooden sticks, and immediately reimbursed all these four-legged snakes.
When the day came, the villagers searched for it and found that the people who had attacked had already fled in small boats, and the shore was empty.
"A bunch of soft eggs. Tao An snorted arrogantly.
Shuangpu Village did not suffer any losses, but other villages did not. Within a few days, news came out, saying that people from several villages around the West Lake had been attacked and blackmailed by the Green Snake Village, saying that if they did not make offerings to them, they would ask the snake god to punish them.
A few villages refused to make offerings, but they neglected to take precautions, and they were touched by people, and they were cut and burned with knives, and they were also injured by snakes, and they suffered a lot of losses.
The originally peaceful surroundings of West Lake suddenly became chaotic.
It was at this chaotic time that Shuangpu Village received a hero post, to be precise, Tao An received a hero post, and several big Zhuangzi around the West Lake jointly sent it out, asking the heroes on the shore of the West Lake to gather together to discuss how to solve the problem of the Green Snake Village.
