When the sun was still in the sky, Zeng Yiqi and Gu Zijian set off from Panshi Town and walked until the scorching sun, before they reached Nasnake Village. The originally happy journey became more and more painful, and the slower and slower it became.

"Can you really go to Nasnake Village like this?" Zeng Yiqi couldn't help but ask Gu Zijian, "Why didn't I see half a figure on the road!"

"Of course you can, just go all the way south. What's the matter with you, who started complaining at such a young age?"

"It's such a big sun, why don't you find a place to rest!"

"It's fine. ”

"Where did you catch the snake before?"

"I've been looking for it a few hills in front of us, and we've already passed by just now!"

"It stands to reason that now should be the time for the big snake to come out to bask in the sun," Zeng Yiqi remembered that Lu He said before that the snake would bask in the sun next to the grass or stones when it was full, "How did you find the snake?"

"Do you think I don't know? The point is that all I found were small snakes basking in the sun, and you didn't see a lot of four-legged snakes along the way. ”

"Do you still remember what Boss Zhu of Kaiyun Tower said before? If it is true that the snake king has come out of Python Mountain, and the snakes in the mountain have been driven out of Python Mountain, then it is possible that you can't find snakes. ”

"If that's the case, then the Snake King might really exist. ”

"I knew that I was going to come to Python Mountain to catch snakes, I should have asked Boss Zhu to introduce one or two snake catchers to ask about the situation!" Zeng Yiqi remembered the big snake in the north of Tanzhou City two years ago, as if its name was 'Qingdi', I don't know what happened to the person who drove the snake!

"Don't worry about this, I've inquired a long time ago, everyone in Na Snake Village is a master of snake catchers. Maybe you don't need to go to Baizhangkou, someone will arrest the snake king in Na Snake Village!"

"Dream your big dreams! Who is that old man with a hundred feet?"

"I heard it's called Old Man Snake. ”

"Old man snake?"

"Because he has a lot of snakes, everyone calls him the old man of snakes, it's normal!"

"You've said that, so what's abnormal!" Zeng Yiqi made a helpless expression, "Wait a minute, do I want to call him Uncle Snake?"

"Poof, what are you talking about! Uncle Snake, can't you just call Uncle Snake?"

"......" is a little embarrassing!

Finally met a passer-by and asked for information, which was the same as what Gu Zijian said, and the direction was also right, and the two of them suddenly felt a little confident.

Near noon, the two found a snake village along the road. The village is not big, scattered with more than a dozen families, and only children and old people are seen.

"Children, are you here in Nasnake Village?" asked Zeng Yiqi as he found a child who was playing.

"I heard my grandfather say that people outside call us here to take the snake village, and I don't know if it's or not!" the child ran to the village. Zeng Gu and the others followed, and they saw a child and an old man enjoying the shade under a big tree.

"Grandpa, they asked Na Snake Village," the kid pointed to Zeng Yiqi and spoke to the old man.

"What is the matter with the two of you looking for the snake village?"

"I want to buy a big snake," Gu Zijian said.

"The contemptible surname is Chen, the two of you can call me Old Man Chen, dare to ask what the two sons are called?"

"My surname is Gu, his surname is Zeng, is it called Nasnake Village here?"

"Gu Gongzi is not in a hurry," Old Man Chen smiled, "Of course, this is Na Snake Village, if you look at it again, there are snakes hanging in front of every house, which is the best proof of this." ”

"Really," the two of them heard Old Man Chen say this, and then looked, sure enough, snake skin was drying in front of every house, so disgusting, "What are you doing with snake skin?"

"That's not the point, hehe," Old Man Chen smiled, "Gu Gongzi, aren't you going to buy a snake, can you see if the size of this snake skin is big enough?"

Gu Zijian shook his head, he glanced around, judging from the snake skin, there was still a big gap between the snake fighting in the snake village and his ideals.

"Gu Gongzi is really a person who knows the goods, you are really in the right place, come and come, come with me," the old man glanced at the child just now, and then led the two to the back of the grass house, there was a pile of large and small jars behind the house, "Gu Gongzi, do you see it." ”

"See what?"

"These are jars for snakes. ”

"This snake should be the biggest!" Gu Zijian walked straight to the side of the largest jar and wanted to take the lid. Old Man Chen immediately stopped him.

"Be careful, there are snakes," Old Man Chen put his cane on the altar cover, "you wait." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid. ”

"Gu Gongzi said with a smile, it's better to be careful when opening the altar," Old Man Chen said unhurriedly, "You two look at the jar of yellow mud next to you, you all paint it on your hands, it's best to smear it on your body." ”

"Is this realgar?"

"Zeng Gongzi, insightful. Coat realgar, just in case, right?"

"That's right," Gu Zijian reluctantly painted realgar on his hand.

"Sprinkle some on your clothes, too," Old Man Chen motioned for Zeng Yiqi to paint as well.

"Uncle Chen, you guys are really exquisite!"

"It's not exquisite, just in case, right, in case you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of grass ropes for ten years~" Old man Chen smiled again. Zeng Yiqi felt a little strange with this smile, he looked around, and the child was missing just now.

"Okay, let's open the altar, I want to see how big your snake is!" Gu Zijian was a little impatient.

"There is one more thing before the altar opens, you two can listen to me. ”

"Hurry up, don't you have a snake!" Gu Zijian was a little impatient!

"When you get to Nasnake Village, you can rest assured, there are all kinds of snakes, but if you want to see the big snake, you still need some sincerity!" Old Man Chen was laughing again.

"What sincerity?"

"Gu Gongzi wants to buy a big snake, I don't know if he has enough silver?"

Gu Zijian was a little angry, and took out five taels of silver and checked it, "Is five taels enough?"

"Gu Gongzi, don't be angry, but five taels of silver is only enough to buy this snake," Old Man Chen pointed to the slightly smaller jar next to him.

This is obviously the price of sitting on the ground! Kaiyun Tower will only pay one or two silver to eat a big snake.

"How much is your snake, you say!"

"Ten taels. ”

"Deal," Gu Zijian didn't say a word, and took out five taels of silver, "Open the altar." ”

Old man Chen finally took off the lid of the altar, and sure enough, there was a snake. A three-inch-thick cauliflower snake sleeps inside.

"It's that big?"

"Isn't that big?" Old Man Chen sneered a little when he heard Gu Zijian's words, and his face was a little unbearable, "Tell you, this snake is the largest snake that can be found on Python Mountain, and only we can buy such a big snake in Snake Village." ”

"Really, isn't there a snake king in Python Mountain, it won't be smaller than your cauliflower!" Zeng Yiqi was also a little disappointed.

"Snake King, that's just a legend, this is the biggest snake you can buy. ”

"Bishuitan, will there be a bigger snake in the old snake man?"

"It seems that the two of you are not sincere in buying snakes, fooling my old man, aren't they? ”

Old man Chen coughed, and several people came out of the grass house, it seems that the person who came was not good!
