After Di Jie left, the two had breakfast, Nan Feng put away the dishes, and Bai Ye picked up two kettles, filled them with water, put them into the basket, and prepared for the day's work.
Nan Feng came out of the kitchen, locked the door, and Bai Ye picked up the basket and walked toward the rice fields not far away. Nan Feng followed behind him, looking at Bai Ye from time to time with soft eyes.
The two of them quickly went to the fields to cut rice. Nanfeng's family had three fields in total, covering eight or nine acres. The two of them quickly finished cutting one field and moved on to the second field.
Suddenly, Nanfeng screamed, "Ah... there is a snake!"
Bai Ye immediately rushed towards her. Nanfeng sat down in the water, holding the sickle and waving it around, his face pale.
The silver-ringed two-headed snake is not very venomous, but it is extremely ferocious. It can bite an adult tiger with its sharp teeth.
Bai Ye pulled up Nanfeng and ran towards the shore, followed closely by the two-headed snake. Baiye was so angry that he pushed Nanfeng to the shore, turned around and slashed with his sickle, and a splash of water spread out from the back of the two-headed snake.
spark.
Bai Ye felt shocked in his heart. Such a powerful body could not be cut by a knife. It was considered a half-demon. Ordinary weapons were useless against it.
Nan Feng came to the shore and shouted to Bai Ye: "Come here quickly!"
As a native of Shuangzi Village, Nanfeng knew how powerful this snake was. Many snake catchers took risks for money and suffered heavy casualties.
Bai Ye advanced instead of retreating, leaping towards the two-headed snake with one big stride, swung his sickle and slashed several times, leaving several white marks on the back of the two-headed snake.
The two-headed snake was in pain, spitting out snake messages and hissing. It had already swam in front of Bai Ye, and swung the sickle to chop it down again. The two-headed snake bit Bai Ye's calf despite the pain.
The expected bloody bite did not appear. The two-headed snake bit his calf, but it only broke a little bit of the skin and oozed out two drops of blood the size of a pinhole.
Bai Ye grabbed the two-headed snake and lifted it up. "I can't cure you, little one."
The two-headed snake struggled wildly and kept biting his arm, but the skin was not broken. It was not until one of its teeth broke that the two-headed snake calmed down.
It could be seen that the two-headed snake had already gained a certain degree of intelligence. It did not struggle and stared directly at the blood spots oozing from his calf, as if it was seeing a peerless delicacy.
Bai Ye became interested and said, "You want to drink my blood?"
Unexpectedly, the two-headed snake actually understood what he said, and its two heads nodded like a rattle, which was really funny.
Nan Feng shouted loudly for him to come ashore. As Bai Ye walked towards the shore, an idea flashed in his mind. He squinted his eyes and said to the two-headed snake: "Are you willing to be the guardian of Twin Village? I can give it to you every month."
Two drops of blood will help you become a real monster."
He could tell that his blood was very attractive to the two-headed snake. Now that the two-headed snake was a half-demon, his blood could probably help it go one step further.
Bai Ye is betting on whether his guess is accurate!
He grabbed the two-headed snake and went ashore. Nan Feng was so frightened that his little face turned pale. Human beings are naturally afraid of creatures with many legs, especially women.
The silver-ringed double-headed snake in his hand obviously thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement. Bai Ye immediately put it down and said to Nanfeng, "It's okay, it won't attack you."
Nanfeng stood a few meters away and didn't dare to get close. It took him a while to calm down and said in a trembling voice: "I won't harvest the rice for now. Let's go to the ancestral hall."
What she saw in Bai Ye today shocked her so much that the half-demon couldn't bite him and even subdued him for his own use.
"What are you doing at the ancestral hall?"
Bai Ye stepped over the two-headed snake and walked towards the south wind. The two-headed snake followed him and spat out a snake message. The snake scales on its back shone with dazzling silver light.
Nanfeng calmed himself down and said: "Your body is different from ordinary people. Ask the village chief to contact the saint in the city to test it and accept you as a disciple."
Bai Ye quickly stopped her and said to her: "It's not urgent. Let's talk about it next year. You just want me to leave so much!"
"I just don't want to delay your future." Nanfeng whispered.
There is no intertwining between the lives of flying birds and swimming fish. In her opinion, Bai Ye must have been a child of a rich family before, maybe he was a disciple of a saint. Even if he occasionally fell into the dust, he would still take off.
Bai Ye rolled up his sleeves and said, "I don't want to be a saint, and I don't have such big ambitions. I still know how much I weigh. I'll be satisfied if I can plant several acres of land."
Some people use their talents to make up for their shortcomings, and some people use their background to make up for their shortcomings. He is alone at night and has nothing to offer, so how can he have that kind of fate?
Nanfeng joked softly: "Why, you can't bear to leave me?"
Bai Ye shrugged. Most of the reason why he didn't want to go out was Nan Feng, but he just couldn't express it in words.
Young girls are always pregnant and fond of wild thoughts. If someone is kind enough to take her in, he can't possibly say that he can't let her go and let her think that he has some bad intentions.
Seeing that Bai Ye didn't say anything, Nanfeng felt a little confused in his heart. When he acquiesced, Bai Ye was right in saying that the young girl Huai Chun loves to have wild thoughts, but it turned out to be self-defeating.
"By the way, what will your parents say when they see me when they come back?" Bai Ye whispered. A woman's chastity is sometimes more important than her life. In severe cases, she may even be punished by being dipped in a pig cage. Such situations are not uncommon among big men.
Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers. Although Nanfeng's parents let her choose, living with a man before leaving the court would be a stain on a girl for life.
Nanfeng's eyes were sly, he spread his hands, rolled his eyes and said: "To be honest, what else can I do? They wish they had more than one male in the family!"
Ever since the death of her brother, Nanfeng's father and mother had placed their hopes on her, always hoping that she would get married and have a family. Until she was sixteen years old, Nanfeng was still single, which made them worried.
"What I mean is that if we live together, will it ruin your reputation and make it difficult for you to marry in the future?" Bai Ye said.
Nanfeng seemed to be quite unconcerned, as if she didn't take it to heart at all, which made Bai Ye frown slightly, feeling that she was very abnormal and not a reaction that a girl should have.
Nan Feng curled his lips and said: "The worst case scenario is that I won't get married. I think it's good to be like this now. It hurts so much to have a baby. If I get hurt to death, who will take care of my parents?"
The two walked onto the only road in the village and walked towards the ancestral hall, which is also where the village chief lives. All disputes in the village are handled in the ancestral hall, which is dignified and solemn.
The silver-ringed two-headed snake followed Bai Ye. It was the first time for it to see a human, and it was such a powerful person, even more powerful than the half-demon it was.
Walking along the road, Nanfeng was slightly ahead of Bai Ye by half a body. She pointed at the huge crimson mountain range in the distance and said proudly: "That is our holy mountain, the Fire Phoenix Mountain Range. Legend has it that a flaming phoenix is buried there.
Maybe you’ll be reborn in Nirvana at some point!”
Phoenix?
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment. In his knowledge, there was no phoenix in the world. The phoenix did have the ability to be reborn, but when the day came, he didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
Nanfeng saw him stunned and thought he was frightened, so he laughed loudly: "Haha, I was teasing you. I didn't expect you to be frightened like this. You are so cowardly."
Bai Ye glanced at the two-headed snake strutting behind him. Nanfeng suddenly stopped talking, and began to look forward to the village chief's expression when he saw the two-headed snake.
