Chapter 36: The Snake Snatcher

After a lot of disturbance, there was no accident in the end. By the time the sun began to move into the middle of the day, it was nearly noon, and the teahouse was almost empty.

Looking out on the street, the sky was clearer, the wind and snow had weakened much less than in the morning, and sporadic vendors began to come out to stand in the road. Those who sell ointments, those who sell cloth, those who sell paper cuts, those who sell soup cakes, crispy honey, walk in circles, and shout with long shouts. There are also many pedestrians, but they are forced by the cold, and they don't have the heart to wander around the streets, and many people snuggle their heads, clasp their hands, and hurry back after purchasing the things they need.

In the teahouse, the storyteller had just finished packing up everything and sent the children away, so he took a place on the side of the tea table opposite the door, looked out of the door, and slowly sipped tea to rest. An accident in the morning almost caused him to get into trouble, which made his mood extremely bad, and after two hours of pranayama, he was still not at peace at this time.

Storytellers, who entertain people with their tongues and tongues, naturally try their best to make the story bizarre and thrilling in order to make the listeners pay money, and at the same time, in order to capture the hearts of everyone, they must mobilize suspense to make them shocked, strange, and frightened, and at the right time, they must make people laugh and make people proud. When using these techniques, it is inevitable to exalt someone and belittle someone. But the average wise storyteller will never point the finger at a specific person, for fear of disaster.

Mr. Storyteller has always spoken like this, but unfortunately, today's luck is extremely poor, and when he laughed at the Fanbang barbarians to please everyone, there were just two Hu people who were also present and listening, and they were almost about to have a change.

The amount of the two Hu people is not low, and they didn't punish them, if they meet a grumpy one. If you don't agree with each other, you can directly use that spell on people. What are the consequences...... But I really don't know. When the storyteller thought of this section, he unconsciously shuddered.

"Looks like we'll have to pay attention to our rhetoric in the future. He thought to himself. "The worst is the worst, and I have to count all the guests in the museum......"

Now the world is not a peaceful and prosperous world, these martial artists can meet at any time, they don't care about the king's law, they provoke the fire, killing a person is really easier than killing a chicken.

A thunderous sound of horses' hooves in front of the door woke him from his contemplation, and the thunder drew nearer and closer. Suddenly, more than ten horsemen connected each other, and a whirlwind swept past in front of the door. When the gentleman saw that all the passengers were wearing dark turbans, dark brown robes, and long scimitars on their backs, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. When you really see what you think, these evil star plague gods really can't help but chatter.

“...... Senior brother, can the old man arrive tomorrow? Let's bring a congratulatory gift......

“...... Three o'clock in the afternoon...... Hui Yan Lou ...... Meet...... Day after tomorrow...... Birthday ......"

I heard the rider answer from afar.

"Is it a birthday celebration again?" thought to the gentleman, secretly wondering in his heart. I don't know who has such great ability. It can attract so many high-rollers to celebrate their birthdays. Over the past few days, I don't know how many warriors in a hurry have passed through Jiyuan County. Jiyuan County is a small place, and the location is also remote, and there are not many people who usually meet each other. However, since the end of last month, more than ten dials a day have been more than ten days a day. There are as few as six or seven dials, and there are always many saddled blades. Or strangely dressed people in the art world walk through the streets and alleys and walk through the snow. Listening to their words and answers, it seems that they want to celebrate the 70th birthday of an old man named "Broken Jade Knife".

"I don't know what the origin of this 'broken jade knife' is. Why do these people go ......with their swords to congratulate him on his birthday?" The gentleman thought about it, but could not understand it, so he shook his head and said to himself, "It is better not to know these things about the plague gods. The more you know, the more dangerous you are. Who knows when they're going to hear about other people's private things? It would be terrible to get people to come and silence them. "Drink the tea in the cup in one gulp, let go of this matter, and concentrate on watching the people coming and going in front of the door.

By mid-noon, the sky was unexpectedly sunny with a hint of sunshine. The snow never stopped, but a crack opened in the gray-red heavy clouds, and the golden sunlight penetrated and brought a little life to this town wrapped in the cold winter. The teahouse began to be crowded again, and the noise became louder. The storyteller finished drinking a pot of tea, looked back and saw that there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the hall, sighed, poured all the tea in the cup into his mouth, packed up the pot and was about to leave from the table, who knew that at this moment, he heard not far from the door of the store, eight or nine feet away, a terrible voice shouted: "Kill, kill! Help!"

This change is abrupt, who has time to beware, Mr. is the frightened bird, at that time the heart shook violently, the hand shook, the teapot fell to the ground with a "help!" sound, and fell to pieces.

After lunch, when we were drowsy and bored, this shout was so refreshing! For a while, all the guests in the teahouse were interested, and they crowded to the door to look around, and the idlers on the left and near were also alarmed, and the sound of "pop!" was incessant throughout the street, and the doors and windows were opened one after another, and many heads poked out to see. Those who do business don't care about business, buyers and sellers, trotting all the way, gathering, as if they are afraid of taking a look less than others.

"Kill people! Dwarf Taoist priests are snatching things and killing people! Officials are coming and arresting people!" The screaming was a young man, and his voice was sharp, stimulating people's spirits like a needle. Even the lazy man who is sleepy after being full immediately makes this cry a hundred times more energetic.

"Let go! You let me go! Hold me again...... I'm really doing it!" was a panicked voice, it sounded like he was thirty or forty years old, and his voice was not strong enough to speak, thinking that it was the dwarf Taoist priest who was caught killing people.

"Kill! Kill! Woo! You compensate me for the snake! Kill! Come and see!"

The crowd gathered more and more, and there were nearly 100 people on the inside and outside of the three floors.

Diagonally opposite the main entrance of the teahouse was the side wall of a large mansion, more than ten feet high. At this time, two people under the wall were scuffling, one was a middle-aged Taoist with a black beard, with an angry face, and the other was a young man in rags. The young man, who was thin and weak, about twelve or thirteen years old, was hanging on the right leg of the Taoist at the moment, his hands and feet were tightly entangled, and he was struggling for his life.

"You compensate me for the snake! You compensate me for the snake! If you don't compensate me, I'll go to the yamen to sue you!"

"What a loss! You accidentally fell down and injured the snake. me!" the man shouted, kicking his right leg. I wanted to get rid of the boy, but the boy clinged to it like an octopus. Half a point can not be loosened.

Everyone saw that a foot-long wooden box at the feet of the two had overturned, and a small red snake was tossing and turning in pain, which was obviously the origin of the dispute between the two. There was no bloodstain on the corpse at the scene, and the words "murderous" were just the young man's call to attract onlookers.

When he heard the Taoist priest deny it, the young man cried: "It's you! It's you!" I said that the snake was afraid of the cold and couldn't see the wind, so he wouldn't let him see it...... Whining. If you don't pay me a thousand gold, I'll go with you to see the official!"

"Nonsense! What a thousand gold! Are you poor and crazy?" The man said angrily, and when he saw that there were more and more people in the audience, and he could not get out, he softened and said: "You are selling this snake, I want to buy it, and the money and goods are clear, so naturally I want to verify the authenticity of the fake." How can there be a reason not to be seen? Dao Ye, I am famous, and no one in the rivers and lakes knows about it, will I rob your snake by force? You are always too stubborn, and you don't make money by putting it down. I ran here and fell, but I relied on me!"

"You're lying! you want to see my snake......" the boy cried, but the priest wouldn't give him a chance to speak. He interrupted him with a snort and said, "But my monk doesn't care about you in general. Well, I'll give you ten taels of silver. You take it and grab the medicine, and heal the snake. After speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and regardless of the boy's resistance, stuffed it into his arms, and then reached out and pinched it, pinching the young man so much that he rolled his eyes, and finally pulled it off, and turned back to get out of the crowd.

"Kill, kill, help, the murderer is running away!" the boy rolled on the ground in pain, his screaming voice hoarse, and the snow covered his face. His two wrists had already made the Taoist pinch into a purple color.

"Elder Lieyang, your old man's kung fu is getting more and more handsome! It's just that you don't have to be on a monster, but you come to see it like a child? Among the bystanders, who knew the Taoist priest, saw that he was ruthless, and finally couldn't help but ridicule him.

It turned out that this person was the real person of the Burning Sun Temple.

Burning Sun was drunk and hidden, and he was furious, and quickly turned around, wanting to see who had made such bold remarks to tarnish his old man's reputation. "Which wild ghost is talking?"

"His grandmother's, who spoke just now? Jump out and let Dao Ye take a look!"

There were hundreds of visitors, but no one responded. Hundreds of eyes were wide open, looking at the Taoist without blinking. The scorching sun was on fire in his belly, and he never avoided it, staring at them and searching them one by one. It's a pity that among the more than 100 people, none of the faces seem to be acquaintances.

"Don't you have the guts? The turtle king bastard!" The Taoist jumped to his feet and checked for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone who spoke, and in desperation, he had to turn to the young man again to vent his anger: "You kid is not lacking in virtue! Daoye, I just want to borrow your snake to take a look, and you don't want to listen to it, why do you run?! I fell here and threw the snake to my head! Fuck, count me unlucky, a hundred taels! I will compensate you!" After speaking, he angrily took out two ingots of silver from his arms and threw them to the ground. "Whew!"

"This is a flaming whipsnake, and it sells for more than a hundred gold. Some of the bystanders saw the condition of the snake and said. "This snake is born of a different species, its body is on fire, and when it grows up, it will spit fire sand and sell it to the cultivator, I am afraid that it will be more than 5,000 gold. The people looked down and saw that the snake was really strange, its whole body was transparent, and the red layer on its skin turned out to be wrapped in a layer of fire, and between the tumbling, the heat of the body had baked the thick snow on the ground.

Lie Yang was furious and shouted, "Fart, fart, what whip, what snake!, what bastard bastard is talking nonsense?!"

When the boy heard this, he wept even more bitterly. Seeing the small snake scales on the ground scattered, turning his belly in pain, constantly twisting, the back half of his body was blurred with flesh and blood, and he couldn't survive anymore, and tears flowed down at that time: "This is what I brought out of the mountains with great difficulty, and I didn't sell it if someone offered five hundred gold, you compensate me for the snake! Woo! If you don't compensate me, I'll fight with you!"

The scorching sun was angry and anxious, this snake was worth a lot of money, a thousand gold! How could he be willing to compensate? But if he didn't pay compensation, the young man who lost the snake was crazy, and he fell to the ground, and his two hands hugged his legs tightly like old vines, and he didn't want to move for half a minute. The best way to do this is to knock it out and slip away. Who knew that there were still people in this dilapidated town who knew his old man's name, and his identity was revealed. How dare you use strong? Grandma's big watermelon and banana boiled bala. The passing year is unfavorable and helpless.

After thinking about it, I couldn't find a good plan, and when I saw that the young man was making a lot of trouble, the onlookers became more and more crowded, and they gathered in a big circle. If I delay for a while, I am afraid that even the government will be alarmed, and it will be even more troublesome at that time. In a hurry, I can't help but feel evil from the side of my guts. There was a fierce light in his eyes. Just don't do it, the old man of Lieyang's name has been tarnished, and many onlookers see that they are bullying children, and everyone shows disdain, so it is better to kill them all......

Thinking about it, this vicious thought burrowed into his mind like a snake, and he couldn't shake it off, and he thought happily: "Just one move 'Burning Plain', and then one move 'Thousands of Miles of Red Land'." Within a radius of four zhang, these foolish people should die ninety percent. There are a few who have learned spells, and they can't escape far from being hit hard. Then we will solve the problem one by one......"

"Yo, do you want to kill someone?" another person in the crowd screamed, unable to hear the direction. Lieyang was taken aback and looked down at his right hand. Sure enough, I have unconsciously begun to pinch the finger of "scorching fire".

"Mom, this makes people see through ......" Lieyang was deflated. It's just that he can't lose to others in terms of momentum, so he craned his neck and said angrily: "My Huoyun Guan is a famous family." How can you kill people and kill people! You are talking nonsense! Isn't it just a thousand gold, Dao Ye, I will give it! Although this snake has nothing to do with me, since it died at my feet, it is fate. After speaking, he bowed his head and said to the young man: "I will pay you money! It's just that I didn't bring so much with me today, you come to Luzhou Huoyunguan on the fifteenth day of next month, and I will return a lot of money to you!" After speaking, he shook his legs and wanted to break free.

The young man hugged his arms tighter and cried: "Don't you think about it! If you don't pay me money today, you don't want to leave!"

"Huh! You kid is so unreasonable!" Lieyang shouted, "What's the use of holding on to telling you that you don't have so much money on you? I'm famous in the rivers and lakes of Lieyang, will I not be able to deceive you? That's it! Come to my temple on the fifteenth day of the next month, and I'll give you silver!" After speaking, he leaned over and pinched the young man's arm, and there was another scream like killing a pig.

"You're bullying me!" the young man's wrist swelled and turned inky, and he began to cry, "I'll sue the official! I'll go now! Aren't you called Lieyang Zhenren? So many people are witnesses, I'll go to the lobby to sue you!" After saying that, he struggled and rushed towards the crowd.

Lieyang's heart was on fire, where could he still endure it, his face sank, he turned around and kicked the young man's chest hard, hatefully: "I told you to sue!" The young man's body was weak, how could he resist this kick, he spat blood from his mouth and flew out of the sky, knocked down the earthen wall, and shriveled and couldn't move.

The onlookers were in an uproar, and everyone looked angry, and this evil Taoist committed murder in front of hundreds of people in the street, which was really lawless.

Lieyang was not afraid, and when he saw the accusations coming continuously, he looked around at everyone with angry eyes, clenched his fists and shouted: "Who is not convinced?! Come out! Come out! Lao Tzu will give you a punch!" After speaking, a shoulder turned over an audience member who was close to him, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" dodge and was about to break away, but who knows, the way of heaven is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the wicked will always have a day to repay. In anger, he didn't pay attention to the soles of his feet, but stepped on the thin tail of the flaming whipsnake, and the snake was in pain, and immediately bounced up, opened its thin little teeth, and bit down on the toes of the blazing sun.

"Ahh

The Flame Whiptail Snake is a natural strange thing, with a fiery temperament, how fierce the poison is, although the venom of this snake is limited, but just this bite, the sun can no longer withstand it.

Lieyang's eyebrows furrowed, and his face contorted with anger. The pain was in my heart, how could this anger be vented? With a roar, he lowered his head and stepped on it heavily, trampling the snake to death, and the bright red fire liquid flew everywhere. "I told you to bite! I told you to bite!" the Taoist trampled hard, twisting his heels, and green smoke came out of the soles of his boots. The poor little snake had already broken into a pulp under his boots, but the sun still didn't feel relieved, and stepped on it for more than a dozen feet, and another whirlwind swept wildly, and even the snake and the snow kicked out, and in an instant, several people screamed fiercely.

The snake blood has fire poison, although it is not as fierce as the venom, but ordinary people are contaminated and still can't stand it, and six or seven people were burned by the snake's blood splash at the moment. A man who sold turnips was the closest, and let the snake corpse slap his chest, and his clothes were ablated and a large hole was opened, and his skin was dotted and blackened, and the person immediately fainted.

Seeing the disaster at this moment, everyone dispersed in an uproar, and formed a large circle in the distance. There were only a few unlucky people left in the venue who were full of angry faces and a few unlucky people who were screaming in pain.

"It hurts!"

"Is there Lang Zhong! come and help!"

The sound of pain came and went, and the poisoned parts of several injured people quickly bulged and changed color, which was shocking, and some of them could not stand the pain, and began to moan loudly.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Fix the rune!" The treatment of knife wounds and poisonous wounds, a difficult case, in line with the disease, is ineffective, and no money will be charged!"
