The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Suiying chuckled and had already drawn his knife to help Suiming skin the snake. "A python this big is a rare commodity, but don't be scared by your father. Pythons live alone and never come out in groups. With such a big one around here, it will be hard to find other prey. We will be safe tonight."

"Dad, who is right between you and Suiying?" Cheng Youning looked confused.

Wan Lianxing laughed and said, "What they said is all right, but nothing is absolute. We still need to be vigilant."

Suiying said, "What are you afraid of? We take turns to keep watch. Even if a fly flies by, I can tell whether it is male or female, let alone a python."

Sui Ming said, "It would be great if we could get two more pythons. We can use the snake skin to make a summer curtain for the Marquis."

Cheng Youning asked Sui Ming: "Is this python meat fragrant?"

"It smells good, and tastes better than snake meat."

"I've never eaten snake meat. Is it as delicious as roasted pheasant?"

Sui Ming said, "It tastes much better than the meat of a pheasant. You will know it in a moment."

Cheng Youning's greedy mouth moved. He had been eating dry food and cold water for a day. He was looking forward to eating some roasted pheasant or duck. Now he wanted to eat meat. He said to Qiao Rong, "Qiao Rong, add some wood to the fire and roast meat later."

"Yes, young master."

Cheng Feng pulled the half-dried underwear over to Cheng Youning to put on. Cheng Youning said, "Daddy, this underwear has just been baked, it's not dry yet."

"Just sit by the fire and warm yourself, don't just watch the fun."

Cheng Youning wanted to watch the excitement, but as soon as Suiying moved his knife towards the python, the python's body arched into a "几" shape, as if it was going to attack people. Suiying hit the python's head several times with his fists, and several people came up to hold it down, and the python finally calmed down.

"Dad, is this python very powerful?"

"Well, Dad has never fought a python. You won't see this thing in our South City or North City. If you see this thing, don't care if it's alive or dead, just stay away from it."

Cheng Youning nodded obediently.

These people killed pigs and sheep and peeled snake skins. There was nothing they dared not do. With such a group of hungry wolves, they could eat even one more python, let alone one. Cheng Youning held the roasted python meat and took a bite. "It smells good."

Cheng Feng asked: "Son, what does this python meat taste like?"

"It's more delicious than a little pheasant. Daddy, please eat it."

Cheng Feng waved his hand and said, "Dad just ate some dry food. He's not hungry and can't eat any more."

"Who hasn't eaten the dry food? There is meat here. If you don't eat it now, it will be gone." Suiying picked a piece of well-roasted meat and brought it to Wan Lianxing, "My Lord, you eat it."

Wan Lianxing covered his mouth with one hand and said, "I just ate some dry food, so I'm not hungry. You guys can eat."

"My Lord, you didn't eat much dry food just now. Give me a piece of meat. This meat is not fat, but lean. I have found the liquor for you."

Wan Lianxing just took the liquor. He unscrewed the jug and took a sip. Drinking some liquor in this weather can keep away the cold. "I have never tasted this, so I won't try it. You guys can eat it."

Everyone eats meat, and only a handful of people don't.

"Feng'er, why don't you eat either?"

"Uncle, I've never even eaten snake meat. I can't eat this."

"Mingming, why don't you eat?"

"Amitabha, this python may be older than me."

"Hahahaha." Wan Lianxing laughed, "Mingming, this python is much older than you. It's even older than me."

Cheng Youning's hand holding the snake meat froze: "Is this snake so old?"

"My grandson, this thing wouldn't have grown this big without several decades."

"But little grandpa, this meat isn't old at all."

"Hahaha, little grandpa has never eaten this. If you think it tastes good, eat a few more bites."

"Grandpa, this python is already this old, he must have a lot of children and grandchildren, he won't come to seek revenge on us, right?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "It's hard to say."

Cheng Youning quickly sat back in Cheng Feng's arms, "Daddy, protect me."

Cheng Feng caressed Cheng Youning's head and said, "Don't be afraid. Eat well and go to bed early. We still have to travel tomorrow."

Because a python was found nearby, the first shift of the night watch was to follow orders, the second shift was to follow the shadow, and the third shift was to follow the action.

When Sui Ming was handing over his shift, he woke up Sui Ying and his team who were soundly asleep. Sui Ying yawned and straightened up: "If I had known I was on the first shift, it would be the most uncomfortable to get up at this time."

Sui Ming lowered his voice and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Be alert and make sure the fires in the bonfires don't go out."

"They are all grown men, some of them are afraid of the cold."

Sui Ming gave him a light kick and said, "Hurry up and stand guard. Don't just stand there in a daze."

Suiying had no choice but to get up, put on a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, and lead his men to spread out to keep watch. Only then did Suiming sit in Suiying's place, close his eyes and fall asleep.

Seeing the few fires that were not burning vigorously, Suiying's men were about to add firewood to the fires. Suiying stopped them and whispered, "Just add some firewood to the fire in front of the Marquis, and don't worry about the other ones."

"Boss, if you don't add more firewood, it will go out in a while."

"Just kill them. Look at how loudly they snore. It's so noisy. Just freeze them."

In less than an incense stick's time, several fires that had not been refueled were extinguished.

They were assigned to a shift every hour, and Suiying was just counting on time. He leaned against a tree holding his sword in a daze, because the next shift would soon be the escort. At this moment, the escort suddenly came down from the tree, "Shit, they are coming."

Suiying was startled when he heard the sound, and his ears perked up, "Who's coming? Why didn't I hear it?"

"Don't you hear a snake crawling and spitting its tongue out as it crawls?"

It was a rainy day, and the rain was hitting the trees, the grass, and the ground. The sound was very noisy, confusing people's hearing. Everyone woke up when they heard the followers' words, and they were all on alert.

Sui Ming raised his leg and kicked Sui Ying. Sui Ying sat down on the ground in pain. "Hey, the snake is here, why are you kicking me?"

"I asked you to add more wood to the fire, but you forgot about it."

Suiying climbed up angrily. Suiming kicked him hard. "Now is the time to deal with the snake, not to fight. If you want to fight, wait until we catch the snake."

"You're an idiot."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

"Whatever you say, who are you calling a fool? I'm smart."

"I'm scolding you, you stupid fool."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Wan Lianxing looked at Sui Ming, Sui Ying and his followers, "Stop making so much noise, I can't hear anything. Are there any snakes?"
