Chapter 232 Angered the Snake God?

A village on the edge of the wilderness.

Xu family.

Xu Ran closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the middle of the yard. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was a little nervous inside.

"One day has passed since the first birthday, why hasn't the venomous snake that was promised to slaughter the village come yet?" Xu Ran thought to himself.

"Could it be that the effect of my Seven-Leafed Flower was too strong and it passed without me noticing?"

"Impossible." He immediately denied his guess.

"If it had been completed, there would definitely be a reminder that something must have gone wrong somewhere else."

Just finished.

There were bursts of shouting coming from outside the door.

"Come quickly, a madman appeared at the village gate!!"

Crazy? Something interesting to watch?
When Lian Ji heard the news, she immediately came out of the room and ran straight to the village gate. After all, gossip is human nature.

"Crazy? Could it be related to the one-year-old incident?" Xu Ran guessed.

This time point was a bit sensitive. After thinking for a while, Xu Ran also followed him out.

As soon as I arrived at the village gate, I saw a ragged and smelly man lying on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes and muttering something.

Lian Ji, who was watching the excitement, turned around and saw her son. She patted her head and said, "Oh, Xiao Ran, how could I forget you?"

"Mom, what are you looking at? I want to see it too."

"Okay, Mom will pick you up right now."

Passing overhead, Xu Ran saw the madman.

"Mom, what is he saying? I can't hear him." Xu Ran said.

Lian Ji said, "Mother can't hear me either. I'll go a little closer."

Soon, Lian Ji squeezed to the front and finally understood what the madman was saying.

"Overnight, they all died, haha, all died, haha!!!"

"It's all our fault. We angered the Snake God, and he brought his punishment upon Stone Village."

Snake god! ! !

Xu Ran heard the key words immediately.

"It really is related to the Yi Sui incident." Xu Ran thought, "It seems that the incident has already happened, but it hasn't reached Dahuangbian Village yet."

Jiyuan Village.

It is only ten miles away from Shitou Village. The village was named this because it specializes in raising chickens.

Jiyuan Village and Shitou Village have a symbiotic relationship.

The grain from Shitou Village will be sold to Jiyuan Village, and Jiyuan Village will also sell its surplus chickens to them at a low price.

At this time, a madman also came to the gate of Jiyuan Village.

Zhang Hao, the village chief, looked at the madman and said, "I think I've seen this person before."

"Village chief, he is a villager from Stone Village." someone reminded.

"Oh!" Zhang Hao remembered, "So he's from Shitou Village. No wonder he looks familiar."

Zhang Hao had been to Shitou Village before and met all the villagers there, so he had an impression of them all.

"What's going on?" Zhang Hao asked, "Why have the villagers in Stone Village gone crazy?"

A villager nearby shook his head and said, "I don't know. He kept saying that the village was gone and everyone was killed by the snake god."

"Snake God? What snake god?" Zhang Hao asked.

"I do not know!"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao said, "Take good care of him and send him back to Stone Village tomorrow morning so that they won't worry."

The villagers of Jiyuan Village wanted to help him up and settle him down.

Who would have thought that when someone encountered the madman, he suddenly jumped up, pointed at the village chief Zhang Hao and said, "As the village chief, you knew that the snake god was coming, so why didn't you let the villagers leave? Do you want all the villagers to be buried with him?"

The sound was so loud that it startled everyone.

"What are you talking about, you little brat? This is our village chief."

"Village chief? Hahaha!!!" The madman seemed to have heard some key words and laughed wildly, not letting go of his hand pointing at Zhang Hao.

"It was the village chief. He was the one who told us to sleep in the ancestral hall. As a result, we were all killed by the snake god. It was the village chief who harmed us."

"If you don't leave now, you will be killed by your own village chief!!"

Zhang Hao understood what was said and frowned, but did not say anything. Instead, a villager next to him spoke up.

"What are you talking about? Our village chief is thinking of giving you a good resettlement and sending you back to Stone Village tomorrow. Your kindness is being taken for granted."

"Go back to Stone Village!" Hearing this, the madman jumped up suddenly, "No, I won't go back. If I go back, I will be punished by the snake god. I won't go back, I won't go back!!!"

As he said this, he exerted force suddenly, broke free from the person who was holding him, ran out of the village, and soon disappeared.

This stunned the villagers of Jiyuan Village who were watching the fun.

"This madman suddenly appeared and left suddenly. I wonder what's wrong with him?" someone said.

"I remember this guy from Stone Village as a spirited young man. It's only been a while since I last saw him, how come he's become like this?"

"Yes, and he was able to break free from several people who were holding him down at once. How did he become like this?"

"Village chief, do you want to talk to the people in Stone Village tomorrow?" someone asked.

"Yes." Zhang Hao said, "I'll have someone deliver this month's chickens to Stone Village tomorrow. I'll also tell them about this matter and ask them to pay attention to it."

After saying that, Zhang Hao shook his sleeves and went back.

The madman left, the village chief also left, there was no more excitement to watch, and the villagers went back to their homes.

That night.

The sound of crickets is endless. Even though Jiyuan Village makes a living by raising chickens, there are still countless crickets.

At night, the villagers of Jiyuan Village were all immersed in sleep and completely forgot what happened at the village gate in the evening.

Chicken coop.

In Jiyuan Village, every household has a chicken coop, and each chicken coop has at least a hundred chickens. These chickens are their lifeblood, and the livelihood of the entire family depends on them.

Generally speaking, when night falls, it is time for humans to rest, animals as well, and chickens are no exception. But today, in the chicken coop of Zhang Hao, the village chief of Jiyuan Village, all the chickens were huddled in a corner, staring into the darkness, as if there was something in the darkness.

Even so, hundreds of chickens did not make a sound, and in their eyes, one could rarely see the chickens' inner thoughts: fear.

Yes, it's fear.

They are afraid of things in the dark, so hundreds of chickens will huddle together to resist powerful enemies, and they will also not make any sound for fear of startling the creatures in the dark.

"Sigh~~"

When all the chickens formed a defense, a snake's tongue spit out from the darkness. At the same time, a pair of dark red eyeballs quietly appeared, and the eyes were full of fear of the creature in front of them.

Suddenly.

The dark red eyeballs disappeared in the darkness, and the chickens in the chicken coop could no longer hold back. They began to panic and flee in all directions.

"Click~~~Click~~~Click~~~"

Suddenly, the crowing of chickens echoed in the chicken coop, directly waking up the chicken's owner, Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao held the lantern, rubbed his hazy eyes, came to the chicken coop, tilted his head to check, "What happened?" When he saw the scene in the chicken coop, his originally hazy eyes suddenly became alert, and he quickly walked into the chicken coop.

In an instant, a smell of blood hit my face. I looked down and saw hundreds of chickens lying on the ground, bleeding, dyeing the chicken coop red. Half of the remaining chickens were running around in the coop, and some even ran out of the coop because of excessive fear.

“Who is it! Who is it!!”

From the time I was awakened from my sleep to the time I walked to the chicken coop and saw this scene, only two minutes had passed. In two minutes, hundreds of my chickens died in an instant. Only a human can do such a thing.

That's why Zhang Hao was so furious at the first moment.

It was done by people, that is, it was done by the villagers of Jiyuan Village.

After all, it was so late, and no outsider would stay in Jiyuan Village.

As for the madman who came tonight?

How could a madman do such a thing? Such speculation is even more unreliable than a sow climbing a tree.

"Husband? What happened? Why are you here in the chicken coop so late at night?"

At this time, Zhang Hao's wife came out after hearing the noise.

When she walked into the chicken coop and saw the dead chickens all over the floor, she perked up and shouted even louder than Zhang Hao's, "Who is so shameless as to dare to touch our chickens? Are you tired of living?"

Zhang Hao remained silent, just looking down at the chicken feathers on the ground. Then he squatted down, picked up a dead chicken, and looked it over.

"This chicken died instantly, without any sign of struggle! A normal person couldn't do that!"

Friends who often kill chickens know that even if you cut the chicken's neck directly with a knife, the chicken will still struggle for a while. It will not completely calm down until the blood has drained out. This is the physiological reaction of the chicken after death.

However, the dead chickens in the chicken coop showed no signs of struggling.

"Huh? There are two small holes here!!" Zhang Hao found something wrong.

He picked up the dead chickens one by one and checked them. He then told his wife, "My dear, come and help me. Check each dead chicken to see if they have two small holes on their body."

"it is good!"

Immediately, the couple checked the chicken carcasses together. After a long while, they stood up together and said, "It's on every chicken!!"

“Me too!!”

Now, the two of them had to take it seriously.

"What on earth could have caused such a small hole?" Zhang Hao murmured.

At this moment, his wife seemed to notice something was wrong. "Huh? Why did this black rope appear in the chicken coop?"

rope?

Zhang Hao heard this and looked up at his wife.

"Rope... rope..."

While Zhang Hao was still thinking, his wife had already walked towards the black rope and wanted to pick it up.

Just as he was about to get close, Zhang Hao screamed, "No!!!"

"What do you mean you don't want it?" The lady turned to look at her husband, and suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand.

"Ah~~~"

The lady turned her head suddenly and saw that the black rope on the ground was moving and crawling quickly towards the darkness.

"Snake! It's a snake!!"

Now, the lady also knew what this black rope was.

At the same time, Zhang Hao and the others also knew what kind of thing could bite hundreds of their chickens to death in an instant.

"Husband, I really don't want to feel my hand anymore!" the lady said suddenly.

Zhang Hao was shocked when he heard this, "That snake is poisonous!!"

In the villages around the mountains, there is one thing that is generally agreed upon: the brighter the animals and plants, the more dangerous they are. At the same time, the purer the animals and plants, the more dangerous they are.

The danger here is poisonous.

Zhang Hao quickly picked up his wife and ran towards the village doctor.

Poisoning, and it was snake venom, was no joke. If you weren't careful, you could die on the spot.

So, he went to see a doctor to detoxify him as soon as possible.

After a while, Zhang Hao brought his wife to the only doctor's residence in Jiyuan Village.

bang-bang-bang-

"Open the door, open the door..."

Zhang Hao used all his strength to knock on the wooden door of the doctor's house, causing it to creak.

"Coming, coming." An old voice came from inside.

When he opened the door and saw that it was the village chief, the impatient expression on his face immediately disappeared and became very enthusiastic.

"Village chief, why are you here?" At this time, he also saw the person Zhang Hao was holding in his arms.

I saw that this person's lips were purple, and there was a thin black line protruding on his arm.

As a doctor, he could tell at a glance that the person was poisoned, and the two of them worked together to carry the person into the room.

"Village chief, tell me, what happened? What kind of poison is this?"

If you want to detoxify, you must first know the source so that you can prescribe the right medicine, otherwise it will only get worse.

"It's snake venom." Zhang Hao said it briefly. After all, he watched his wife being bitten by a snake.

"Snake venom?" The doctor said with some relief, "Since it's snake venom, it's fine."

After that, he took out a seven-leaf flower from the medicine cabinet behind him.

"This is the Seven-Leafed One-Branch Flower planted by Pharmacist Xie in the Great Wilderness Village. It can cure snake venom and is extremely effective."

That’s right, this is the seven-leaf herb planted by Xu Ran’s neighbor, Lao Xie. At that time, the doctor in Jiyuan Village used ten chickens to exchange for one herb.

But this was before the improvement.

Zhang Hao was relieved after hearing this. "I've heard of Pharmacist Xie's name. I'll trouble you, doctor."

Zhang Hao's voice also became calm.

The doctor did not dare to delay and immediately put the seven-leaf peony into the mortar and pounded the medicine.

A quarter of an hour later, the entire seven-leaf lily plant turned into powder.

The doctor took out a part and applied it on the back of the lady's hand. He asked the apprentice to use the rest to boil medicine and add some herbs to treat snake venom. After a while, the apprentice came back with a bowl of black medicine.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao finally felt relieved.

He helped his wife up and fed her one spoonful at a time.

After drinking all the medicine, the color of his face changed from purple to normal. However, the black line on his arm did not disappear, but the color was weakened a lot.

"Thank you, old doctor." Zhang Hao looked at the doctor and said respectfully.

"This is what I should do as a doctor." Then he continued, "However, looking at my wife's condition, she has only passed the critical period. If she wants a complete cure, I'm afraid we can only go to the Great Wilderness Village and find Pharmacist Xie."

Zhang Hao nodded.

Old Xie's reputation is known to everyone within a hundred miles.

After all, the village on the edge of the wilderness makes a living by hunting, which is an occupation that all the nearby villages envy, even though it is full of dangers.

But judging by the situation today, if it weren't for the Seven Leaves and One Flower from Old Xie of Dahuangbian Village, Zhang Hao's wife would have died on the spot. How could she have survived until now?!
