After Zhou Lan's mother and daughter left, Huang Ling opened the cloth covering it. The two people who had been curious were shocked when they saw it. What was in the basket was a large piece of python meat!
"My, my God! Brother Huang Ling, this is a giant python! Good guy, you can actually hunt it." Fang Dayong said in disbelief. Although it was only a small part, he could still recognize it as a python.
And it’s a giant python.
Tuesday was even more stunned. He had long heard people say that there was a big python that could swallow a cow in the mountains, but he still half believed it. Not only him, but everyone in Shanfeng Village who had never seen it before was like this.
"Xiao Lingzi, is this what you hunted?" Tuesday asked suspiciously.
Huang Ling looked at Tuesday, nodded and said, "I just bumped into him by accident."
He said it in a relaxed manner, which would make people mistakenly think that he had hunted down the big snake without much effort. Only Huang Ling knew how dangerous it was at that time. It could be said that he had a narrow escape from death. He was able to survive.
luck.
"Brother Huang Ling is so capable! I have long heard that there is a big snake in the mountains that can swallow a cow! You actually encountered it and killed it! Brother Fang, I am so impressed!"
"It's nothing, I'm just lucky."
"Haha, this is not something you can do with good luck. If it were anyone else, they would be so scared that they would fall to the ground." Zhou Zhou said with a smile. He was also very impressed in his heart and looked at Huang Ling with admiration. If
If you only hunt boars, rabbits and the like, who wouldn't? But to hunt a giant python that is more than ten feet long requires a lot of courage and extraordinary skills.
"There is only a small part in the basket, so the rest is placed in the mountains?" Tuesday asked.
"Well, I can't take much by myself, but this is enough for me to eat for three or four days. I will inform the village chief tomorrow and ask the villagers to go up the mountain and divide the snake." Huang Ling replied.
Tuesday was stunned and said anxiously: "Divide? You don't plan to sell such a big python? Xiao Lingzi, do you know how much this python skin sells for?"
"Hey dad, wouldn't it be good to share it with the folks? Who can eat such a big python? It will stink after a long time? Right, brother Huang Ling?" Fang Dayong said.
"What do you know, am I not thinking about the little spirit? How easy is it to hunt this big python? If you give it to others so cheaply, wouldn't you be doing yourself a disservice?" Tuesday retorted.
"Uh..., this seems to be the case too." Fang Dayong thought for a while and replied.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a loss or not. The folks have helped me a lot in the past. This can be regarded as repaying the kindness they have shown me." As he said that, Huang Ling covered the basket with a cloth and carried it behind his back. "Brother Fang, we
There will be extra vegetables tonight, so you can eat as much python meat as you want."
When Fang Dayong heard this, he chuckled and said, "Okay, brother, I haven't eaten meat in a big way for a few days. I'm going to have a delicious meal today."
With that said, the two of them went back talking and laughing. Behind them, Tuesday wanted to say a few more words, but stopped talking and could only follow reluctantly.
At Fang Dayong's house, a table of food had been laid out for a long time, but almost all of it was vegetarian. There was only a little bit of meat stir-fried with a large plate of cabbage, and that bit of meat was the game that Huang Ling hunted a few days ago.
A few dishes of vegetarian dishes and a pot of soup are still a good meal for such a poor and backward mountain village. Now, with the addition of snake meat hunted by Huang Ling, it is really richer than during the Chinese New Year, and it is a feast for the mouth.
When a plate of fragrant snake meat was placed on the table, Fang Laner could not wait to salivate, but out of politeness, she did not take the lead in taking down her chopsticks.
Huang Ling saw Fang Lan'er's hopeful look, smiled, then took a large piece and put it directly into her bowl. Fang Lan'er was happy, thanked her repeatedly, and started eating from small mouthfuls to large mouthfuls.
"Brother Ling, what kind of meat is this? I've never eaten it before." Fang Laner asked, licking her mouth.
Huang Ling smiled and replied: "What? Isn't it delicious?"
"No, it's delicious, but it's different from what I've had before."
"Eat your food well, why are you talking so much? Xiao Lingzi, you should also eat more." Zhou Lan said, and brought some vegetables for Huang Ling. When Fang Laner saw this, she was not far behind.
Follow suit. This left the other two men sitting next to me speechless.
Fang Dayong is a really honest person, so he won't feel any displeasure. But for Tuesday, it is inevitable to feel jealous. After all, one of them is a biological daughter and the other is a biological niece, but they ended up being robbed by outsiders.
, but did not threaten him, whose father was also his grandfather.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone say: "Dad, you should eat more." When he came back to his senses on Tuesday, he found that there were a few more pieces of meat in the bowl. It turned out that Zhou Lan and Fang Lan'er had taken the vegetables away while he was thinking wildly.
into his bowl.
"Grandpa, why don't you eat it? This meat is so delicious." Fang Laner said at this time.
"Oh. Okay..." Tuesday's old face smiled and started eating with satisfaction.
As for Fang Dayong, he would not just wait for others to bring him food, he would have already eaten with gusto.
After finishing the meal, they sat and chatted for a few words. Huang Ling looked at the time and felt it was almost time to go back, so he stood up and said goodbye. Zhou Lan, her husband and daughter sent him outside the courtyard gate and said goodbye.
After a few words, Huang Ling left.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, the stars in the night were twinkling, and the moonlight was dazzling. Huang Ling, who was walking on the dirt road between the villages, did not see anyone. Most of the people in the village went home to rest at this time, and there was usually nothing to do.
I won’t travel at night. The countryside is not as good as the towns. There are no lanterns, wine, singing and dancing. Here we can only work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Huang Ling lives not in the village, but on a hillside outside. This road is the road he often takes and the shortest way back home.
When Huang Ling was about to cross this section of dirt road, several people suddenly walked out from behind the big tree in front, holding long sticks in their hands. Huang Ling stopped and used the moonlight to see clearly who these people were.
Children of the Chen family: Chen Dan, Chen Shi, Chen Feng, and Chen Hao.
The Chen family can be said to be a wealthy family in Shanfeng Village, and these children of the Chen family have had an affair with Huang Ling very early. They are all dissatisfied with each other and want to find an opportunity to hurt each other. That is to say, these few
As a gift from others, Huang Ling suffered a serious injury, the time he saved Fang Laner.
"Huang Ling! We've been waiting for you for a long time!" said a tall, thief-minded man who looked seventeen years old.
This man's name is Chen Dan. The thin one on his left with a rectangular face is Chen Shi. They are brothers. On the other side is Chen Feng, who is fatter, not tall, and has a pig-like face. The last one is
Chen Hao, he looks smooth, but with a strange smile on his face, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is a cunning and insidious person. In addition to Chen Dan and Chen Shi being brothers, they are also cousins
relation.
"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me to do?" Huang Ling asked disapprovingly.
"Hmph. Huang Ling, you are really forgetful! Weren't you very arrogant a few days ago? Didn't you say you would hit me once when you see me?!" Chen Shi said at this time, his tone full of hatred.
Huang Ling looked at Chen Shi, a cold light flashing in his eyes. A few days ago, this shameless villain actually teased Fang Laner. If he hadn't happened to pass by at that time, I really don't know what would have happened.
"I let you go last time, but you don't repent, but you want to take revenge. Don't you think you are asking for humiliation?!" Huang Ling said calmly.
"Huang Ling, don't be so arrogant. You are just a wild kid picked up from the deep mountains and wild forests. You should be grateful that we can take you in. You are not grateful, but you still go around provoking others. Don't you think
...Is it too much?" Chen Hao, who was always smiling strangely, said. He is the grandson of the village chief. He has attended a private school for several years, so he is quite bookish. Therefore, he thinks he has read a book, so he feels superior to others and looks down on him.
