Three people died in the village. This is no small matter.
He alerted the officials and attracted people from the government office, who interrogated and investigated him in the village for several days.
Because cow hair and cow dung were found next to the body, the people who raised cows in the village became the focus of questioning.
This naturally includes Chen Fuman, who raised an old scalper.
However, Chen Fuman's old scalper did not arouse any suspicion.
After all, there was more than one scalper like this in the village, and no one would suspect that the scalper raised by such an old man trampled someone to death.
As for the three dead men, except for their relatives, everyone else was applauding them.
He usually idled around, stole chickens and dogs, and often bullied people in the village. Naturally, everyone applauded him when he died.
In the blink of an eye.
A month has passed.
Chen Fuman's life this month has been very monotonous, traveling between the fields and home.
Boring and boring.
The only difference is that my legs, which used to be sore, seem to have never happened this month.
And my body seems to be better than before.
Unlike in the past, when you walk a long way, you have to stop and rest for a while.
Now Chen Fuman can walk home from the fields in one breath without feeling tired.
Chen Fuman didn't think much about it. He just felt that he had endured too much hardship in his life. His body was still strong in his old age, which could be regarded as a little bit of guilt from God.
He doesn't care how long he can live, as long as he can live one day, he will live one day.
In addition to Chen Fuman himself, his old scalper has also undergone considerable changes in this month.
Every night, the wood carvings placed by Chen Fuman at home would release a green light that would sink into the body of the old scalper.
The old scalper will enter a very mysterious state under the darkness of night.
With the body of a mortal cow, it began to swallow the essence of heaven and earth.
After a month, although the old scalper doesn't look like anything on the surface, he is actually no longer an ordinary cow.
Its body is very strong, it can survive even without eating or drinking, and it is particularly sensitive to its surroundings.
The flies that could not be driven away in the past are now unable to get close to the old scalper's body.
As for plowing, it is even more effortless.
If it weren't for the fear that Chen Fuman couldn't keep up, the old scalper could have plowed the entire mountain by himself.
...
On this day, Chen Fuman finished his meal early, and then carried a basket of food and fruits to the hillside not far away.
Under the hillside, there are three tombs.
They are Chen Fuman's wife, son and daughter respectively.
Today is the death anniversary of Chen Fuman's wife. Every time at this time, he would come here to talk to his relatives.
This happens every year.
Perhaps in Chen Fuman's view, as long as these three graves are still there, his relatives will still be with him.
Didn't really leave.
Chen Fuman placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of the tomb, then sat on the ground, lowering his head and speaking silently.
I would wipe my tears from time to time.
The old scalper watched silently from a distance.
Until nightfall, Chen Fuman unknowingly fell asleep sitting on the ground.
Perhaps only at the graves of his relatives could Chen Fuman sleep so calmly and peacefully.
The night wind blows.
A long purple-red snake snaked over from a short distance.
A pair of snake eyes shone with scarlet light in the dark night, and bursts of poisonous smoke filled the air while the slender snake was hesitating.
This is no ordinary venomous snake.
It is a snake demon who has achieved success in cultivation.
There were indeed monsters near Mangshan Village hundreds of years ago, but that was already a long time ago.
??????????.??????
Today's Mangshan Village has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and there are no traces of monsters.
But unexpectedly, such a snake demon appeared tonight.
And slowly swam towards Chen Fuman, who was sleeping in front of the grave.
A pair of snake mouths gradually opened, exhaling bursts of black air, revealing a mouth full of sharp snake teeth.
Chen Fuman was unaware of the danger and still slept peacefully.
Just as the purple snake demon approached, its offensive suddenly launched.
One ejection flew towards Chen Fuman's neck.
At the critical moment.
The old scalper appeared next to Chen Fuman at an incredible speed.
A pair of bull's eyes full of anger.
The huge cow's hooves stepped on the purple snake demon.
The purple snake demon was shocked and quickly twisted its body to dodge.
Unfortunately it's still too late.
The old scalper is also a monster.
And it is a monster even more powerful than this purple snake monster.
puff!!!
The cow's hooves fell and the snake's head was trampled to pieces.
Died on the spot.
The old scalper got rid of the snake demon and slowly returned to the cowshed.
Until Chen Fuman was woken up by the night wind.
"Um?"
When Chen Fuman turned his head, he saw a purple dead snake lying next to him, with its head as if it had been smashed by a stone.
Chen Fuman realized later and touched his head in confusion.
"You...blessed me?"
He couldn't help but look at the three tombs in front of him, and burst into tears for a while.
Chen Fuman picked up the dead snake and took it home.
Then they disembowel, skin and clean them.
Except for the snake's gallbladder and snake's heart, he buried the other internal organs into the soil as fertilizer.
Chen Fuman slowly stewed the snake gallbladder, snake heart and snake meat in a big pot, sprinkled some salt on it and ate it.
I planned to try something new, but I couldn't stop eating it.
Chen Fuman actually finished the large pot of snake meat in one night and even drank the soup.
After eating the snake meat, it will be daybreak.
Chen Fuman did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt energetic and his breathing was much smoother than before.
Full of energy.
The originally rickety body could now stand upright.
It’s like I suddenly became twenty years younger!
"Is snake meat so nourishing?"
Chen Fuman could also feel the changes in himself and was surprised.
At the same time, he also secretly regretted it.
If his wife was still alive, he could catch two more snakes and stew them for her to eat, and maybe she wouldn't be so ill.
It's a pity that I have been dead for so many years, and no matter how much flesh I eat, there is no point in eating my old bones.
Chen Fuman turned his head and looked at the wooden sculpture placed on the bedside. After thinking about it, he placed the wooden sculpture on the altar table.
I also found a piece of clean red cloth and put it on the wood carving.
He took out the incense burner again and lit a stick of incense.
"Bless the gods, bless the gods."
Chen Fuman held a stick of incense and bowed respectfully to the wooden sculpture.
He put the incense in the incense burner and knelt down to kowtow.
"Gods above, please bless my son and daughter to be reincarnated into a wealthy family in the next life and grow up peacefully."
"Wish my lost grandson to grow up safely. I don't want to find him in this life, I just hope to see him before I die."
"Bless my wife, she will not get sick again in her next life."
"Whatever illness or disaster they may suffer in the next life, it will all fall on me, old man."
"Let me, in this life, bear all their suffering in the next life."
