The big snake disappeared under the waterfall, and everyone had to return in vain, because they didn't have any powerful tools. 【 】Can't subdue it at all.

"Village Chief Wang, take everyone back first! I want to look around." Just as everyone returned to the village, Liao Mu said suddenly.Originally, Lang Mo wanted to stay and walk around with Liao Mu, but he had no choice but to lose his curiosity after being frightened.

"Okay then, be careful, maybe the big snake hasn't gone far yet." Maybe Village Chief Wang is also like a frightened bird, wishing to leave as soon as possible.Hearing Liao Mu's words, he didn't react much, and didn't ask him why he wanted to stay, he responded casually, and led the villagers back to the village with Lang Mo, leaving Liao Mu wandering slowly in the sugarcane field.

On the way back, I saw Alan and Liu Mei rushing over. When I saw the blue-faced Principal Wolf and Village Chief Wang, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. From afar, Alan shouted: "Lang Mo, Village Chief Wang, are you all right? Have you seen the big snake? The big snake didn’t do anything to you, did it?”

Why Alan and Liu Mei rushed back, of course it was the credit of the messenger guy.After Lang Mo and Village Chief Wang left, the young man who reported the message brought ordinary people to meet with Village Chief Wang. When they came to the restaurant, Village Chief Wang was nowhere to be seen. When he asked, Alan told the boy, saying, they are going to of sugarcane fields.The boy was so frightened that he yelled: "My God, to deal with that big snake, just the two of them, isn't it courting death? I'm afraid it's not enough to squeeze the big snake's teeth!" Alan was still in a daze.After saying this, the young man hurriedly led everyone to run away.Coincidentally, Liao Mu was also chased back.So he came to the sugarcane field together.When they rushed to the sugarcane field, they happened to witness the thrilling scene.At the critical moment, Liao Mu used his courage to save Principal Wolf and pull him back from the python's mouth.

"Liu Mei, when did you come back from your house? Why did you and Alan come?" Lang Mo asked.

"I just came back not long ago, and after seeing those men with hoes and sickles leaving, we were a little worried, so we came to have a look. Did you catch the snake?" Liu Mei said nervously.After listening to Liu Mei's words, principal wolf felt a different feeling in his heart.

"What's there to worry about? Don't you think we're all fine? What's the use of you coming? Come, don't you also serve as a tender snack for the big snake?" Village Chief Wang said loudly.There is something funny in the tone.

A group of people talked and chatted, and returned to Xiaoyun Restaurant.

In the restaurant, more than half of the customers did not leave. Not only that, upon hearing the frightening news, a large number of villagers from Fenghua Village crowded into the restaurant, and the restaurant was completely packed.Even the kitchen door was full of people.

They were all talking about one thing, no need to guess, of course it was the python coming out of the mountain.The expressions of these people are not as simple as worrying. During the conversation, everyone showed a terrifying face.

The loudest one was of course the skinny old Mai. "Hey! What do you say, come here, what should we do? It seems that Fenghua Village is going to lose its fortune again. This big snake is already a snake fairy. When it comes out, we have to pay tribute as usual! Otherwise, it will bring great disaster to our Fenghua Village!" He was yelling worriedly to the crowd.

When some people present heard this, they kept nodding their heads.But most of the nods were wrinkled old men.The young man listened quietly.A small number of guys showed contempt on their faces.It seems that they do not approve of any tribute.

Among them, an old man said: "That's right. Not only do we need to pay tribute, but we also need to give some livestock such as pigs and cows. When it is full, it will naturally not make things difficult for everyone."

"Yes, yes, I agree. If we want to do something new this year, we must serve the snake fairy well, otherwise, it will come out again in a few years..."

.......In the restaurant, there was a lot of discussion about how to pay tribute, how to prepare the food for the snake fairy, how to set up an altar and other voices.

However, Village Chief Wang and Lang Mo ignored the quarrels of those people at all. They sat at the table and just drank the high-grade and low-quality liquor bought from Uncle De desperately. While drinking, they trembled nervously.For no reason, just for the shocking moment that will never be forgotten in my life.They need to use a lot of alcohol to suppress the shock, and if they suppress the nerves that are about to collapse.

When those old men asked Village Chief Wang for advice, Village Chief Wang just said: "You are all seniors in the village, so you can do whatever you want. I used to say, don't do that, don't do that. You don’t listen to the tricks of ghosts and monsters, and you insist on paying tribute? Isn’t that a boa constrictor? What’s so scary? Don’t ask me what to do! You can figure it out!”

"That's right, Village Chief Wang is right. What are you doing? Paying tribute? What kind of tribute? It's just a snake, what's so scary?" Another person squeezed in outside the door, but it was Liao Mu. .When the big guys saw that it was the director of the police station who had returned, the noisy discussions finally quieted down a bit.

"Director Liao, how do you plan to deal with this matter? You know, if you don't handle it properly, you will be punished by the Snake Fairy, and it will be too late for you to regret it by then."

"How to deal with it? If it returns to the mountain, of course I will let it go, but if it endangers the neighbors, of course I have to destroy it, completely destroy it!" Liao Mu said as a matter of course.

The director's words immediately attracted a flood of opposition. The reason was very simple, offending the Snake Immortal, but absolutely not.That momentum can even overwhelm the ferocity of the big snake.It seemed that Liao Mu could be eaten alive immediately.

"What's the noise? It's so noisy! Do you know who Director Liao is? What do you want to do when you are so overbearing? Aren't you just a broken snake? People have their own principles. Don't booing. What's the matter? Let's open a villager tomorrow night The meeting will be rescheduled! It’s gone, it’s all gone!” Under Village Chief Wang’s vicious prestige, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Wait for the villagers to disperse.Looking at Village Chief Wang and Lang Mo who returned to the table to drink. "Both of you, drink less. It will hurt you. Isn't it just a boa constrictor, why do you drink it so hard?" Liao Mu persuaded with a smile on the side.

"It's easy for you to say, and you really don't worry about toothache when you speak. The reason I said that just now is that I saw those bastards annoyed, and I wanted to drive them away as soon as possible, so that my ears would be cleaner. Director Liao, don't think too hard Think? Come and try the feeling of being chased by a snake. That feeling is like scaring the soul out of me. I would rather be chased by a dozen evil spirits than be chased by that thing. It's terrible! "Village Chief Wang finished speaking angrily. 'Gudong Gudong' raised his head, picked up the wine bottle and poured alcohol into his mouth.

"Mr. Wang, don't be discouraged. You're right. It's just a broken snake! Besides, isn't the snake's final goal always staring at me? Why are you so scared? A person who is scared out of his body It should be me, and the person who should piss his pants should also be me! Not you. Grandma is a bear. After all, the principal will avenge this chase, and then pull out the snake skin and take out the snake gall, which is a priceless treasure, you can Sell ​​it for lots and lots of money!" Principal Wolf, who survived the catastrophe.After drinking a whole glass of baijiu to ease his trembling slightly, he actually came up with the idea of ​​using pythons to make a fortune.

"Don't think too much about it. I think this snake is really not an ordinary snake. Think about it, why does this python appear in late autumn? If it is an ordinary snake, it has already gone into the cave and slept, why is it still there?" Want to come out and walk around? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe that there would be such a big snake in Fenghua Village. And it came out when it was cold, it’s incredible. I think, if it is really ruthless today , We people must be in bad luck. What is the origin of this snake? Is there really such a wicked thing in that mountain?" Liao Mu analyzed.

"Director Liao, you don't have to guess, the big python definitely came out of the Falling Soul Mountain! Think about it, if it wasn't for the Falling Soul Mountain as its nest, how could such a big snake be hidden near Fenghua Village? "Cunchang Wang said.

"I agree with this point. This guy must have come out of the mountains. But have you ever thought about why it chooses to come out in cold weather, or even in winter? Isn't it completely a snake?" Liao Mu frowned and asked Principal Wolf And village head Wang two.

"I said, Director Liao, you weren't chased by that big guy? Why are you talking nonsense? That's obviously a super big snake, and a big snake that can swallow people?" Principal Wolf rolled his eyes and said.

"I never said that this thing is definitely not a python, but have you ever seen a python with a cockscomb on top of its head?" Liao Mu retorted.

"I think Director Liao's words are reasonable. This snake not only has a cockscomb on its head, but also crows in the middle of the night. The sound is exactly the same as the big rooster in the village. The difference is that its sound It is very loud and can be transmitted far and far. I remember one year, when it appeared, it seemed to be singing on the mountainside of the mountain pass. From such a long distance, we heard it as if it was calling in our ears at night. It was very scary. This beast roared continuously for two nights on the top of the mountain, causing all the roosters in the village to crow in the middle of the night. At that time, I wanted to take people up the mountain to catch snakes, but I thought Its head, who would dare to do that!"

"Well, Village Chief Wang, in your memory, how many times has this python come out of the mountain?" Liao Mu asked again.

"Eight times, yes, it should be eight times, the earliest time, when I was very young, only eleven or twelve years old." Village head Wang thought for a while and replied.

"Eight times? So, this snake will come out every three to five years? And every time it comes out, everyone has to pay tribute to livestock like cattle and sheep, right?"

"Yes, it can be said that this boa constrictor has appeared eight times, and every time it appears, everyone will place sacrifices at the mountain pass for the boa constrictor to eat, and the number must not be small. Trouble. Many years ago, there may have been too little tribute. I heard that before the liberation, the thing swallowed several people. But in the ten years when I was the village head, everyone paid tribute three times. It didn’t happen. The Guotun incident. Even so, I don’t agree with this kind of superstition, but I alone can’t beat the stubborn old men in the village, so I have no choice but to agree.” Village Chief Wang nodded affirmatively.

"Then what is it coming out for? Is it for the food everyone gave it? Is there a lack of food in the mountains? But it doesn't make sense. If there is a shortage of food, it should come out often. Why do you always have to wait until It only comes out once in three or five years? Or it’s for fun, but what’s so interesting about Fenghua Village?” Liao Mu said, looking at the table with one index finger.

"Fun? Come on. Director Liao, don't you even think about it? This monster is so big, why do you come out? Could it be possible to come out to the mountains for a blind date? After the talk, take the female python back?" Principal Wolf said on the side.

"Why do you think that python belongs to Mr. Tiao?" Liao Mu asked with a smile.

"Guess! I think it is a male boa constrictor, otherwise, it would be so playful and wander around?" Principal Wolf also said with a sudden smile.

"I think that snake is female. You are not serious! Otherwise, why would it chase you?" Alan brought a pot of tea from the kitchen, and when he heard Lang Mo's words, he laughed. said.

"Rational! Reasonable!" Village Chief Wang and Liao Mu laughed and nodded.

"Then how long does the python stay around Fenghua Village every time after it comes out of the mountain? After Liao Mu finished laughing, he continued to ask Village Chief Wang.

"It's hard to say. When the time is long, it is about ten days, but the shortest is about four or five days."

"Well, four or five days, that's plenty of time! Let's stop joking, let's talk serious." After listening to Liao Mu. , took out something from his pocket, and said seriously. "Look, this is a scale that I picked up from the sugarcane field and fell off that big guy." After finishing speaking, he showed the black scale to the three of them.

After the three of them read it, Liao Mu continued: "Have you found out that this scale has no special characteristics, it is just bigger. But its hardness is far beyond our imagination. It is like a piece of metal. Hard and heavy. I think, if you use an ordinary knife and fork, it will be difficult to pierce and chop it. I am going to send this scale to the provincial animal research institute for research and testing. See if the animal expert is What do you think of this area? In addition, I just went to the deep pool under the waterfall where the python disappeared. I found that the water in the pool is very warm. According to my estimation, it is at least [-] degrees Celsius. I suspect, There is a passage leading to the mountain under the deep pool. And in that passage, there may be heat sources such as hot springs."

"Yes, Director Liao is right. The water in the Yunv River at the entrance of our village comes from that mountain. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Especially in winter, sometimes the water seems to be very warm. In the river The heat covered the entire river. Looking back now, I think it makes sense, ah, yes! I remembered. It seems that every time the river is very warm, the big snake will appear. Director Liao didn’t say anything today , I really didn’t notice this.” Village Chief Wang interrupted and said excitedly.

"It seems that my analysis should make some sense. We saw with our own eyes that the python left the sugarcane field, went to the edge of the deep pool, swam into the pool of water, and then disappeared. Now I suspect that every time the python comes out of the mountain, if I guessed right, it should come out from the bottom of the pool. Because only the warm water at the bottom will not freeze the snake. So, I mean, this snake has to get rid of it, right in Its entrances and exits ambush and kill it. Otherwise, it is not a good idea to come out every few years to eat a big meal. If it is not done well, one day, if everyone does not give it food, it will still swallow people. Look at how dangerous it is like today." Liao Mu continued what Village Chief Wang said.

"I'm going to the provincial capital right away, first to hire an expert, and then to the Armed Forces Department to apply for some powerful property, and I'll be back tomorrow. I want to see how powerful this so-called snake fairy is!" Liao Muxing was full of headache added.

As soon as he heard that Liao Mu was going to bring an energetic guy over, the wolf principal immediately became excited and said: "Yes, yes, Director Liao, you should go back quickly, and you'd better bring an anti-tank gun. If there is that guy, one shot You can blow that damn thing up to the sky! We can call this snake-hunting plan a snake-killing operation, how about it? Enough loud slogan!"

After hearing this, Liao Mu shook his head and smiled wryly, "Principal Wolf, which country do you think we are going to war with, right? Why don't you ask me to get an intercontinental missile, and then a satellite positioning, wouldn't it be easier?"

"My lord, aren't I eager for revenge? Don't be offended, go and come back soon? My deep hatred is all on you." Principal Wolf said with a smile.

"Turn me away, right? Okay, I'll leave right away, but, Village Chief Wang, please tell everyone that at night, tell everyone to go to bed early, lock the doors and windows, and don't run around, you know? Also, please organize Let the militiamen in the village start patrolling tonight. If you encounter that snake entering the village, you can only scare it away, don't act recklessly, remember, remember." Liao Mu ordered.

"Okay, I know. You don't need to tell me, we also know how to do it, don't worry." Liao Mu also said some details that should be paid attention to, such as, the pigsty should be reinforced, the chicken pens and duck pens should be placed with wooden boards, and the windows After explaining everything, Liao Mu got into the police car and left in a hurry.

"This Director Liao, why is he like a mother-in-law, such a mother-in-law? You are so long-winded about these things?" Village Chief Wang muttered as he watched the police car going away.

"He's doing his best, don't wrong him." Alan smiled from the side.

"What they said is right. You should hurry up and tell the villagers not to run around at night. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to walk around." Liao Mu also joked.

Unexpectedly, just after Lang Mo finished speaking, Village Chief Wang suddenly yelled: "Oops, what should I do?"
