At this point it seems like the story has ended.

Alan put away the paintbrush in his hand and looked at the snake pattern on Fang Jun's back, "Okay."

Fang Jun stood up and walked to the mirror and looked at his back in the mirror. He didn't notice it without looking at it, but now that it had been drawn by Alan's pen, it really looked like a circling and glaring python crawled on his back.

"You are quite capable," Fang Jun looked at the pattern behind him in trance, then suddenly realized and smiled quickly, "The painting looks just like the real thing."

"Actually, the story isn't over yet," Alan walked not far away and picked up a nightgown on a hanger and handed it to Fang Jun. After handing it to him, he walked to the table alone, picked it up and put it on the table.

"Aduo followed the Snake King back to the Snake Forest and stayed there for eight months."[

Fang Jun put on his coat and asked, "Actually, I have always been curious about a question. It is said that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of people sent to the Snake Forest every year, but why is the Snake King only attracted to A Duo?

"

"According to what Aunt Gen heard, it is said that this snake king is very affectionate and cares about the women who are sent to him every year. However, those women are either eaten before they see the snake king, or they are frightened when they see the snake king.

Die, or commit suicide because you don't dare to coexist with the Snake King," Alan smiled helplessly, "I think if Luo Cheng hadn't taken A Duo away by force that day, maybe this matter would have been a different story."

"How does Aunt Gen know this? Could it be that he has been to the Snake Forest?"

"These words are just hearsay. It is said that it was said by a servant of the Luo family at that time. The servant said that A Duo told her personally that many corpses were found in the snake cave, which led to this speculation," Alan turned around and looked at

Fang Jun smiled with a serious expression, "But who knows, it has been true for many years."

After saying this, Fang Jun suddenly found something suspicious and asked, "Then this is strange. A'duo didn't follow the Snake King up the mountain, so why would any servants hear such words? Isn't this nonsense?"

Alan didn't answer. He just smiled and continued to write lightly, describing a sad love affair between humans and snakes, "The life A Duo and the Snake King lived in the mountains was considered carefree. The Snake King took great care of A Duo every day. However, as time passed,

The day when A'Duo gave birth was getting closer and closer, and the Snake King made an important decision. He wanted to send A'Duo down the mountain..."

Nine months later, Mangyuan Village.

Thumb, thump, stirrup.

It was already the third watch. It was just an ordinary day. The sky was clear and nothing was the same. For Mangyuan Village, all the villagers had already fallen asleep. No one noticed that a huge long snake had already fallen asleep.

Slowly crawling into the village.

The gentle knocking on the door seemed to have a rhythm, spreading into the depths of the house like a ghost in this dark and quiet night.

A year has passed, but the big red lantern fluttering in the wind, the dark wooden door and the mottled stone steps at the door are all the same as before. Only the dilapidated door god picture on the door bears witness to the Luo family mansion.

years.

No one answered the door, and the knock on the door sounded again.

"Who is it? It's so late," a shout came from the door. A middle-aged man in his fifties was wearing a coat, rubbing his fluffy sleepy eyes, holding a lantern, and staggering towards the door.

Came over.

The night is deep, and there are no people from the village coming to visit at this time after the third watch.
