During the Shang Dynasty, on the banks of the Qingshui River, there lived an old fisherman named Li Sanmin, known as Li Laosan, whose wife died at an early age.
Li Laosan and his daughter depend on each other, this year is Li Laosan's natal year, forty-four, his daughter's name is Li Xiang, just turned eighteen.
The thatched house where the father and daughter lived, built not far from the river, due to years of war, no living economy**, usually, the father and daughter have been fishing for a living, Qingming evening, the sky is almost dark and can't see clearly.
Li Laosan had just returned from fishing in the Qingshui River and was about to dock the small wooden boat to the shore, when the sky changed drastically, and it immediately rained heavily.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt came down, instantly illuminating the riverbank, Li Laosan looked up, and suddenly found that not far from the bank, there was a huge black shadow, "plop", quickly slipped into the river, it is estimated that it is more than ten meters long, on the spot, he was taken aback, and after a pause, Li Laosan came to his senses
It was the first time he had encountered such a big monster in decades of fishing, "Am you dazzled?" At this time, the rain was a little heavy, and he didn't think about it so much, Li Laosan hurriedly docked the boat on the shore, put on a hat, and after packing up his things, he went back, the thatched house not far away, in the rain, seemed to be a little shaky, Li Laosan just entered the door, his daughter Li Xiang was stir-frying, Dad, it was raining so hard outside, did it get wet? Li Xiang said while stir-frying, at this moment, the fragrance of vegetables coming out of the cauldron filled the entire small grass house, "No, girl, I brought a hat, fortunately I came back in time, it's big outside now!" After Li Laosan answered, he took off the bucket sticks on his head and the felt on his back, "I'm ready to eat, the last dish, Daddy", listening to his daughter say this, Li Laosan was happy, and hurriedly washed his hands, picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, at this time, the thunder and lightning became louder and louder, and the rain poured down, and a few minutes passed, Li Xiang had already fried the last dish, however, when the father and daughter were about to sit down to eat, a gust of wind blew the wooden door "creak", Li Xiang saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to close the wooden door, but just walked to the doorSuddenly, a big lightning bolt broke through the night sky, Li Xiang stood in place, immediately pointed to the sky with his finger, and shouted violently:
Oh my God, what the hell is that! "Daddy! "Daddy! Look what that is! That's not a big snake! Like a monster! Li Xiang said with a trembling hand, pointing to the grass not far away, Li Laosan was about to pick up the bowl and look at his daughter's actions
Immediately got up, ran behind his daughter, and saw a huge black snake above the position not far away, which was following the downpour, seemed to want to swim above the sky, and kept twisting his body, as if he wanted to swim up to the sky, at this time the thunder and lightning were continuous, and suddenly, on the head of the black snake, there seemed to be two cockscomb horns, which were slowly hatching and growing, and the snake's body was the size of a bucket, which made people feel frightened. Don't be seen by it! Girl! It was too late, it was fast, Li Laosan pulled his daughter over, quickly ran over, and quickly closed the wooden door, this scene frightened her daughter Li Xiang, she had never seen such a situation, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, Dad!" Why can't you watch such a scene, and why is that? Li Laosan immediately said: "Girl, don't ask, are you ** uncomfortable?" Right now! As soon as the words fell, Li Xiang looked at her father in surprise, a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Dad, it's just a little cold, and it's not uncomfortable!" "Daddy! Why do you ask? Hearing his daughter say this, Li Laosan immediately brought a big log, pressed it against the wooden door, pulled his puzzled daughter, sat down, sighed a little heavily, and slowly said;
According to the older generation, the big snake into the essence, refers to the two ends of the snake's head, will grow strange edges and corners, the ancients said, people can not see the snake into the essence, otherwise it will attract the disaster of killing.
Once upon a time, on a night of heavy rain and thunder, there was a peasant woman who slept with an upset stomach, and got up in the middle of the night to go to the thatched house
Heavy rain, suddenly, she seemed to hear the backyard, there is an unknown creature scream, so, curious, she lit the oil lamp, came to the back yard, suddenly, a few meters away in the heavy rain, a huge snake rose into the air, vigorously swimming above the sky, the head of the big snake, is growing horn-like things, frightened the peasant woman screamed on the spot, who knows, the giant snake twisted the snake's head, opened its bloody mouth, eyes fiercely looked at the peasant woman, the cold light of the snake's eyes, made her whole body numb, after a while, the peasant woman immediately fainted to the ground, The next morning, the peasant woman woke up and found that the big snake was gone, there were only a few pieces on the ground, scattered snake scales, but, within a few days, the peasant woman had a strange disease, and the whole body slowly festered and died, in order to understand the reason, later, people found a kind of meat mass that looked like snake scales on the peasant woman's **, which looked a little infiltrating, and since then, the village has never seen the giant snake again, and some old people said that the snake has become a sperm....
As the saying goes, "the python is a big chengjiao", it seems that it is not false at all, after Li Laosan finished speaking, his daughter Li Xiang fell into deep thought when she heard it, and a feeling of uneasiness immediately came to her heart, and quickly asked: "Dad, will there be anything wrong with me!" Is it the same as the peasant woman? Seeing his daughter say this, Li Laosan was a little overwhelmed, and he wasn't sure if this ancient prophecy would really be like this, if his daughter was really in danger, it would be troublesome, Li Xiang was his only daughter, and it was also the meat of his heart, as soon as he thought of this, Li Laosan hurriedly comforted: "Girl, don't be afraid, there is a father, there is no such coincidence, you are still young, and your father has not enjoyed your blessings!"
You eat first! After speaking, Li Laosan touched his daughter's hair, there was still lightning and thunder outside, and the heavy rain still kept falling
At this time, Li Laosan quietly walked to the window, looked in the direction just now, and found that the giant snake spirit before was no longer there, he was nervous, and looked around, and found that it was indeed not there. Whether anything will happen to her daughter is still unknown to Li Laosan.
Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound outside the window, which woke Li Laosan up completely, what was the sound in the middle of the night?
Could it be that the big snake did the trick before? In order to figure it out, he hurriedly got up, felt the darkness and walked towards the door, after pushing the door open, there was a terrifying scene, only to see a huge black shadow on the grass not far away, rolling rapidly on the ground, as if it was entwined to eat some animal, it looked like the strange snake before, strange?
Li Laosan was a little puzzled, he lived in the vicinity, he didn't seem to have seen the animals that let the big snake eat, which made him a little uneasy, suddenly, Li Laosan felt that something was wrong, and immediately turned around and ran to the door of his daughter Li Xiang's room, just arrived at the door, he knocked the door vigorously with his hand, "Girl..."Girl, you're not there! Li Laosan slapped twice in a row, and when he saw that his daughter didn't answer, he pushed the door directly and entered, and found that his daughter was not on the bed, he was shocked, and the wooden window had been wide open, and the table was messy
A thought flashed through Li Laosan's mind, "It's over!" Something big is wrong! He hurriedly shouted: "Xiang'er..."Xiang'er, where are you! What are you**! As soon as the words fell, Li Laosan felt that something was wrong, quickly lit the torch, ran out of the door, and shouted as he ran: "Girl! Girl! ”
At this time, Li Laosan was extremely anxious, desperately screaming for his daughter, his voice became a little hoarse, he began to run wildly, however, not far from the ground, the huge black shadow, still slowly winding around the things on the ground, seeing this, Li Laosan was desperate, and rushed over with a torch, suddenly, the strange giant snake in front of him, heard the movement, found the firelight, his body began to relax, spit out a corpse from the mouth of the blood basin, and quickly slipped towards the woods next to him, Li Laosan ran over, raised the torch to see, I saw that the giant snake twisted the snake's head, spit out the big snake letter, glanced at Li Laosan, Li Laosan took the big torch, rushed forward, waved it a few times, the big snake saw this, and quickly fled into the woods, seeing the strange snake leaving, Li Laosan hurriedly turned around and looked at the things on the ground, at that moment, let him completely collapse, lying on the ground, it was his daughter Li Xiang, her whole body was soaked with liquid, obviously spit out in the snake's belly, Li Laosan was suddenly grief-stricken, threw away the torch in his hand, Shaking the daughter on the ground hard, she screamed in pain, "Girl..."My daughter....Wake up! At this time, he was crying heartbreakingly, and this voice made people feel sad and desperate.
After a long time, Li Laosan knelt beside his daughter and recalled the past, once upon a time, Li Laosan had a happy family:
At that time, Li Laosan and his wife, with a son and a daughter, lived in their hometown, planted crops, and the family lived very happily, but the good times did not last long, there was a war that year, and the government officials came to the door and forced every family to have a male person, and they must go to the army.
Seeing such a scene, Li Laosan also decided to take his family and go to the Qingshui River in Lingxian County to hide for a while, where there are many trees and by the river, few people know about this place, so Li Laosan's family packed up their things overnight and prepared to leave in the dark, but what Li Laosan didn't expect was that his family's run away was discovered by Sun Li, the village security chief, When Li Laosan took his wife and children, and was about to walk out of the village, suddenly, a group of officers and soldiers held torches, surrounded them, and all of a sudden, Li Laosan's family was arrested, and sent to the village chief Sun Li's house, the officers and soldiers called Sun Li, temporarily help watch for one night, and wait for tomorrow to take it away and send it to the government, just like that, Li Laosan's family was ** lived, stayed in a room of Sun Li's house, the village security chief Sun Li, who is more than forty this year, is a bachelor, has never married a daughter-in-law, relying on his uncle, is today's county government, often oppresses the neighbors in the village, his personality is a little insidious and cunning, and the people in the village hate him, who knows, after the official left, Sun Li brought a pot of his daughter's red wine, and a plate of peanuts, and moved a small table
Sitting next to Li Laosan's family, he drank a little wine, seeing this, Li Laosan asked Sun Li to let go of his whole family, for the sake of the villagers, and begged him bitterly, but this Sun Li was indifferent, did not care about Li Laosan at all, and continued to drink wine, however, after the three rounds of wine, Sun Li took advantage of the wine, and saw Li Laosan's wife Ma Shi, wearing red clothes and being tied, and suddenly became happy, Sun Li said on the grounds of separating men and women, and dragged Li Laosan's wife to another room, Li Laosan could only watch, Seeing his wife being pulled away by Sun Li, there was nothing to be done, Ma saw this, and kept struggling hard, however, as soon as he entered another room, Sun Li pushed Ma down on the bed, and a bully came to the bow, Ma has always resisted such shameless behavior, but Sun Li ignored it, and beat Ma with the strength of wine, just like that, the raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, and after Sun Li finished, he also said slyly: "Ma's!" You just live with me, anyway, tomorrow, your husband will also go to the army, this go, I don't know if it's life or death", Ma Shi listened to Sun Li's shameless words, saw that his clothes were messy, and he was forcibly ruined, a sense of despair rose from his heart, as a woman, she has a husband and children, in the future, how to face her husband Li Laosan and the children, thinking of this, Ma made a final decision, she hurriedly said: "Sun Li, since it is all with you, I am also afraid that Li Laosan will go and have no return, In the future, stay alive and widowed".
When Sun Li, who had drunk the wine, heard it, he believed it, thinking that Ma was really willing to live with him, but he didn't know that Ma was perfunctory to him
He immediately changed his state, and became enthusiastic about Ma's, Sun Li quickly untied her, and turned around to pour a cup of tea, the appearance of this scene let Ma know that Sun Li had completely believed her, seeing that the time was ripe, she accidentally found that on the edge of the bed table, there was a large pair of scissors, suddenly, Ma rushed over, quickly grabbed the big scissors, and pressed against Sun Li's neck, in an instant, Sun Li was suddenly attacked, frightened, did not dare to move, and trembled all over.
At this time, Ma immediately held Sun Li hostage and retreated to her husband Li Laosan's room step by step. Hurry up! However, Ma did not listen to her husband Li Laosan's words, but held Sun Li and ordered him to untie the rope on the family's body, who expected, after untying all the ropes, the cunning Sun Li, the moment he squatted down, reflexively went to grab the big scissors, in the fight with Ma, accidentally, the big scissors stabbed the side, Li Laosan's son's neck, suddenly, bleeding nonstop, and soon fell to the ground and died, Li Laosan shouted, Ma saw this, went crazy, tried his best, and bit the back of Sun Li's hand. immediately snatched the big scissors, stabbed Sun Li's neck violently, venting and poking again and again, until Sun Li fell to the ground, Ma Shi stopped, turned around and saw that her son was dead, she turned to look at Li Laosan, and said:
Lao Li, I'm sorry for you, you're already an incomplete woman, your son is gone, you take care of your daughter; Remember! After speaking, Ma committed suicide with a big pair of scissors, such a move made Li Laosan and his daughter stupid, and the father and daughter were very sad...Now; Everything that appeared in front of Li Laosan's eyes came to naught, leaving him alone, his wife and son
Unexpectedly, his daughter Li Xiang also encountered an accident, becoming the last straw that overwhelmed Li Laosan, at this moment, an undercurrent of hatred surged, released in Li Laosan's heart, his eyes were full of killing intent, he picked up the body of his daughter Li Xiang, next to the thatched house, dug a cemetery, and buried his daughter, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, Li Laosan tore a pendant from his neck, and hung it on his daughter's grave, which was the relic of his wife Ma, and it was also a memorial for his daughter.
The day is getting brighter, Li Laosan knows that the morning is the green snake, red and white snake and big black snake, etc., the weakest time for all snake activities, he carried a machete on his back, brought a ** rope and two pots of spirits, came to the river, smeared with a layer of wet mud all over his body, and slowly went to the woods by the river, looking for the traces of the strange snake, this is the first time he entered this forest, only to see the trees in front of him verdant, very lush, but what makes people strange is that the surroundings are dead and silent, and even a bird has not been found, such a scene makes Li Laosan feel, Some of the heels were cold, he walked forward cautiously, suddenly, not far from the center of the trees, there appeared a strange big pond, there were blisters on it, it looked a little weird, and the water quality in the pond was turbid, Li Laosan hurriedly stepped forward quietly, inspected, suddenly, there was a crow cry in the sky, which frightened him, but, at this moment, Li Laosan, thinking of his daughter Li Xiang, was killed by the snake, he was not afraid, still walked forward, at this moment, A burst of fishy smell came to the nostrils, a little choking, Li Laosan followed the smell and walked over, and suddenly saw that the grass by the pond was exposed, like a snake's tail, something like a snake's tail, was curled up on the grass, as if asleep, Li Laosan gently took off his straw sandals, stepped forward barefoot and slowly approached, and found that the big snake was not as big as last night, and there were no long edges and corners on his head
But it is also as big as a giant python, Li Laosan at this time, wondering in his heart? Looking at the pattern of this black snake, it is the same species as the long snake last night, Li Laosan guessed that this is likely to be a female snake, and the location of this pond is the habitat of the male and female snakes. Seeing this, a thought flashed in Li Laosan's heart, he pulled out the machete from his back, held his breath, and tiptoed to the direction of the head of the big black snake, only to see that the snake seemed to be sleeping, but the snake's belly was bulging, as if he was pregnant with a small snake, Li Laosan was angry, raised the machete, and in an instant, the black snake suddenly opened its big eyes, and just wanted to open its mouth to attack, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Li Laosan used all his strength to slash down, and the severed head of the big snake swished. Quickly flew to the opposite tree trunk, the head of the snake opened its mouth, the sharp snake teeth, biting on the tree, Li Laosan looked at it, a cold sweat broke out, suddenly, the bulging body of the snake, swept towards Li Laosan, wanted to entangle him, struggling to turn over, Li Laosan hurriedly retreated, such a scene, let Li Laosan gasp, I can't imagine that this female snake is so fierce, if it wasn't for the whole body smeared with mud, it is likely that the female snake would have found him, seeing that the big snake lost his breath, Li Laosan stepped forward, Cut open the snake's belly with a big knife, and sure enough! Dozens of small snakes have not yet taken shape, they look a little dense, and they are all dead in the womb; Such a sight makes people shudder.
Suddenly, in the woods not far away, there was a fierce and rapid "whoosh" sound, which seemed to be getting closer and closer, Li Laosan looked bad, it must be the big snake of the male, the murderous machine rose in his heart, how much pain his daughter Li Xiang endured, died tragically in the mouth of this giant snake, even if he risked his life, he must avenge the death of his daughter, kill this vicious giant snake, he hurriedly used the ** rope he brought, tied the body of the female snake, and dragged it into the muddy pond next to it, so that the female snake floated on the water, Li Laosan quickly removed from his body, Take down the two big pots, the strong daughter red wine, all sprinkled into the pond, suddenly, a strong smell of wine, permeated the entire big pond, Li Laosan understands very well, such a strong wine taste, enough to interfere with the big snake's sense of smell, just like the ancient realgar wine, the same effect, the snake smelled and stopped drunk for three minutes, after making all the preparations, not far away "bang" sound, as if it was in Li Laosan's ears, he took a machete, took a deep breath, jumped over, and sank into the pond, at this time, the huge snake from the woods, Rushed out suddenly, revealing a terrible big snake head, spitting snake letters, the two edges and corners of the head, emitting a penetrating cold light, the snake eyes looked around the big pond fiercely, as if searching for prey, suddenly, the big snake stretched out its head high, facing the female snake on the pond, opened its bloody mouth, two fangs were amazing, making a burst of "呑" sound, the snake's tail swayed left and right, as if to the female snake that died on the water surface, said something, and then, the big snake quickly went into the pond, Swimming towards the corpse of the female snake on the water, just when the big snake was close to the corpse of the female snake, about a meter or so, suddenly, behind the head of the big snake, half a head appeared, instantly;
Li Laosan jumped up from the water, held the machete in his hand, and cut directly at the head and neck of the big snake, who knows, the big snake body rushed forward, dodged Li Laosan's knife, quickly sank to the bottom of the water, the water immediately calmed down, at this time Li Laosan, his heart trembled, holding the big knife, he didn't dare to move, I couldn't imagine that this big snake was so cunning, it made people afraid, life and death were just around the corner, Li Laosan closed his eyes, as if waiting for the arrival of death, vaguely, He felt a cold impact on his back, and he was about to hit his upper body, Li Laosan suddenly turned around, used all his strength, and slashed into the water with a large machete, only to see a large amount of blood coming out, and the water surface turned red.
The water is like boiling water, a bucket-sized snake body surfaced, it was the big snake, a moment later, a huge strange snake head, also surfaced, Li Laosan, who was standing in the water, raised his head;
He let out a long sigh to the sky, a satisfied smile on his face; Suddenly, a sharp pain made him feel uncomfortable, it turned out that on the backbone of his back, there were two deep, big snake fangs marks, so that Li Laosan almost couldn't stand, he gritted his teeth, lifted the head of the big snake in the water, slowly climbed onto the shore, and walked towards the thatched house step by step. Soon, Li Laosan came to the grave of his daughter Li Xiang, used his last strength, knelt down, the breeze blew, and next to the machete in front of the grave, there was the head of a big snake, and a colorful butterfly was resting on the handle of the machete, shining its wings....
