eldest brother had always been firm in his stance; he never wanted to marry Hu Ai-lan.In the end, she stayed in her family's home because of what Village Head Wang had said. Zong Bai had always known...Just like a dog that smelled meat buns, the huge snake head chased after the spirit water and burrowed into the ground.

Then Fang Jinshu saw an unbelievable scene.

The giant python, like a cat encountering catnip, writhed its massive body, rubbing against the spring water on the ground, and repeatedly licked its body with its crimson tongue.

Before Fang Jinxiu and Er could regain their senses, Zong Yu grabbed a wooden stick and with a sharp thrust, plunged it deep into the python's seven-inch point.

It struggled violently for a while before finally dying, its blood gradually staining the ground red.

"It, it's dead" Song Changhe asked cautiously.

Today was quite simply the most exciting day he'd had in his entire life.

Zong Yu stepped forward to check, confirming that the snake was dead beyond revival. Only then did he nod toward Fang Jinxiu with reassurance.

The two let out a breath and walked forward.

After the dangerous crisis passed, Fang Jinshu's voice became much lighter. Thinking that the python was full of treasures, how could she not be happy

I just want to rip it open and take out its guts.

Before she could take a closer look at the python, she heard two gasps from behind her.

"My God, that's a huge snake!"

That was Tiezhu's voice.

He and Zong Hu ran over together.

"How did you come here" Zongyu asked.

Zong Hu's face was filled with worry, "Ayu, are you alright"

Zongyu was stunned. Since Jinxiu saved his cousin's child, his attitude had changed drastically from before.

He didn't think that Zong Hu did it on purpose, he just wasn't used to such sudden concern.

But he still shook his head at Zong Hu, indicating that he was fine, and gave him a response.

Zong Hu saw that his concern was met with a response, and his heart finally felt a little better.

Although his attitude was honorable, it still felt a little cold.

However, think about it, although they were cousins, they hadn't had much interaction before and their relationship wasn't good, even somewhat hostile.

It's already quite good that Ayu can respond to him without holding a grudge. He barely acknowledges anyone else in the village, except for the headman and his family.

"It's okay then."

"We heard a lot of commotion from your side and were worried you might be in danger from wild animals, so we rushed over."

As he spoke, Zong Yu looked at the giant python on the ground, his expression filled with fear and apprehension.

"It's a giant python."

"This snake is thicker than a bowl's mouth, it must have lived for many years. Today, luckily it was Ayou who encountered it and killed it."

"If any of us had been here, we'd have probably already become this python's food." Zong Hu said in a tone that still felt shaken.

Tie Zhu's face also paled a little, and he nodded in agreement with Zong Hu.

"Yeah, Zongyu is really a skilled hunter."

"I've always heard my father say you could kill a wild boar with one punch. To be honest, I never saw it with my own eyes and was somewhat skeptical before."

"Now I've broadened my horizons."

Tie Zhu nervously swallowed, his resolve to never offend this couple only strengthened in his heart.

No wonder his father always asked him to be polite to Zong Yi. Tie Zhu had a feeling that many things in the village in the future would probably rely on Zong Er Ge's help.

Thinking about this, Tiezhu calmed his mind. He wanted to please Zongyu and his wife, so he said:

"This python is worth a lot of money, although we agreed before that if we encounter wild animals, we would work together to hunt them and share the spoils equally."

“We didn't help at all, so we shouldn't have the nerve to take part of the snake meat.”

This python rightfully belongs to Lord Glory.

Fang Jinshu felt that Wang Tiezhu was truly a changed man overnight, as if he were trying to please Zongyu everywhere.

This kid, he's truly the son of Village Chief Wang.

"Tie Zhu is right, A Yu, you should quietly hide the python and take it back home."

Fang Jinshu frowned, "Hide it and sneak it back We hunted things openly, why would we have to be sneaky"

Before Zong Hu could answer, the sound of villagers surrounded them.

"Look, what is that"

"My God, it's a python!"

"Such a big python, what are Tiezhu and Zong Hu doing standing there Did they kill the python"

"Great! This huge python is enough for all of us in the village to share!" That last sentence was shouted by Li Gouzi.

Fang Jinshu's face darkened immediately, finally understanding the meaning behind Zong Hu's words just now.

Even if she understood, she wasn't planning on sneaking home.'s definitely better to barter with food than with money.As expected, Zhao Yi went to ask a family. When the family saw that they had nothing but water to eat, they immediately agreed to let them stay...
