farmer and snake

Zhang Dazhuang's daughter-in-law was frightened all night, and at noon the next day, a young Taoist priest finally came, about [-] years old.

"Ma'am, where is Benefactor Zhang? Let's talk together. I'll tell you Daoist Zhang's instructions." Zhang Dazhuang, who was in a daze, was dragged into the room.Immediately, the little Taoist left Zhang Dazhuang expressionless, turned his head and smiled, distributed some talisman papers and other things to them, and told them to be careful not to go out at night.Then he said he was sleepy, so he found a corner and sat down and fell asleep.

Zhang Dazhuang also had nothing to do, so he went back to sleep in the firewood room, but when he thought about the snake demon, he always felt that there was something in his heart. Zhang Dazhuang, who couldn't sleep, opened his eyes and stared at the moon outside the broken window paper slowly. Climb to the sky.

With a creak, the half-hidden firewood room door was opened, and the little Taoist came in and looked at the farmer, seeing how pitiful he was in his despair.

"Why can't you sleep?" the little Taoist asked.

"It has nothing to do with you." Da Zhuang turned over, leaving the little Taoist on his back.

"..." The little Taoist was helpless, he only blamed himself for being unlucky to be sent to stay at Da Zhuang's house, the snake demon could come to eat people at any time, thinking about it, the little Taoist felt that his life was in danger He is most afraid of snakes, which are cold and slippery.But this assigned job, after going away and hiding, how can he mess around on the road.

The little Taoist thought for a while, then reached out and poked Da Zhuang's back, "Hey, I have talisman water, drink it to keep you safe, how about a bowl?" Da Zhuang didn't say anything, the little Taoist sighed, and then I went to find a bowl by myself.After a while, he came back with the talisman water. Before entering the door, he looked at the talisman water and paused, then secretly dripped a drop of blood into the talisman water.

"Brother Zhuang, come and drink the talisman water", it seems that he still needs to be coaxed.

"Don't call me that, I'm not familiar with you." Da Zhuang doesn't like these Taoist priests now.

"Oh," the little Taoist sighed, and said while trying to feed Da Zhuang with talisman water, "My family name is Xu, and my Taoist name is Qingya. Brother Da Zhuang can call me Xu Qingya..."

"Get out, don't bother me", Da Zhuang was very ungrateful.

Xu Qingya caught a glimpse of the snake slough tied around Da Zhuang's neck while Da Zhuang was turning over, "Oh, the monster has a different way, don't think about it anymore, drink the talisman water and get a good night's sleep." He poured the talisman water down his nose in one gulp, and coughed for a long time.

"Brother Zhuang, I'm going out, get a good sleep, and call me if you need something."

Da Zhuang felt confused after drinking the talisman water, and fell asleep after a while.

It was almost noon when Da Zhuang woke up the next day, and he went to the kitchen to make a dry and cold steamed bun and gnawed on it.

"Brother Da Zhuang, why don't you let my sister-in-law warm it up?" Seeing this, Xu Qingya asked, it seemed that he didn't know much about Da Zhuang's family.

"no need"

"Hey, Brother Dazhuang, don't rush away." Xu Qingya stopped Zhang Dazhuang, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"En", Zhang Dazhuang absent-mindedly replied.

The little Taoist suddenly came over and said, "My master said that the snake demon is a cannibal. I heard that brother Da Zhuang has a good relationship with that snake demon. If the snake demon comes and wants to eat me, brother Da Zhuang must help me. Please forgive me~ I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child."

"Oh", Zhang Dazhuang said casually and walked away on his own.

"Alas", Xu Qingya sighed, it seems that this big man is not smart enough, it's better to run away to save his life at the critical moment.

The Taoist priests scattered in the city are still in fear, ready to catch the monster at any time, but only the innocent people who are being eaten, have never been able to catch the snake monster head-on, every time the snake monster seems to know where they will chase and intercept , Zhang Daochang will miss every time.Daoist Zhang was about to be stung, and even more anxious, all the Taoist priests also complained.This situation made him feel that there is an inner ghost among the Taoists, and he was deceived by the snake demon in human skin last time, which is really unbearable.

Daoist Zhang thought hard about what went wrong, and decided to check all the Taoists once.

"Brother Zhuang, sister-in-law, Daoist Zhang called me something, I'm going to the city." Xu Qingya picked up Daoist Zhang's paper crane and prepared to leave.

"Hey! Little Daoist, don't leave! What will we do if you leave!" The woman said while pulling Xu Qingya to prevent him from leaving. Xu Qingya shook his hand in disgust, "Didn't I leave it for both of you?" Is the talisman gone?"

"Can that talisman really cure that snake monster? That snake monster is so fierce!" The woman was about to cry again.

"I...I don't know...", Xu Qingya began to feel embarrassed, "Then why don't we go together?"

So the three of them went into the city together.

"Daozhang Zhang, Xiaosheng Xu Qingya is here to pay a visit." Xu Qingya bowed to Daozhang Zhang, followed by Zhang Dazhuang and his wife.

"Why did they follow?" Zhang Daochang asked.

"Sister-in-law said she was worried that I wasn't here, so we're here together," Xu Qingya explained while accompanying him with a simple and honest smile, afraid that Daoist Zhang would be unhappy.

"It's okay, you two retreat to the outer hall first, I want to test Xiao Xu's Taoism." Daoist Zhang called all the Taoist priests to screen one by one, and today it's Xiao Xu's turn.Zhang Daochang guessed that in the name of testing Taoist spells, he happened to be screened, and the snake demon was full of evil spirits, so he must not be able to use Taoist spells.

Zhang Dazhuang and his wife were waiting at the door.

"Hey", Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law touched Zhang Dazhuang with her elbow, "Why do you think this Daoist priest has to test Xiao Xu's Taoism? Do you think his Taoism is not good enough to deal with snake demons? This is also true, too young, Quickly give us another one!"

"..." Zhang Dazhuang still looked dull.

"Dead man, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

"Ouch!" "Boom!"

Xu Qingya's panicked voice came from the room. Accompanied by the sound of iron tools, his sword control skills were too poor, and the sword fell straight down as soon as it flew up, almost piercing his head.

Daoist Zhang felt that Xiao Xu’s Taoism was really eye-catching, so he probably wasn’t the snake demon, “Okay, okay, go back and keep guarding. If there is any situation, the paper crane will report to me at any time.”

"Daozhang Zhang~" Xu Qingya suddenly knelt down with tears in his voice, "You can give me another place to guard, I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child, and I will definitely not be able to defeat him with my broken way~"

"You just need to inform me, and I don't expect you to fight that snake demon head-on."

Xu Qingya heard Daoist Zhang say this about him, and continued, "Then I'm so useless, why don't I just leave some paper cranes for the Da Zhuang couple, can I stay in another place~"

Zhang Daozhang had a black line on his face, "Okay, let's go back, I will come as long as the snake demon haunts."

"Hey, Daoist Zhang~" Xu Qingya was pushed out of the door, and Daoist Zhang closed the door in disgust.

"Go back and practice hard again. Many people still can't even enter the gate of sword control. I'm optimistic about you, child~"

"Zhang Daochang ~ woo woo woo" Xu Qingya's legs began to weaken when he thought that he might have to face the ferocious snake demon alone. Now he just wants to cry, and he regrets 1 times that he was the first to say hello to Zhang Daochang who came back in a hurry that day. He was instructed to go to Zhang Dazhuang's house.

"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Dazhuang's daughter-in-law asked.

"Ah? I...I'm fine." Xu Qingya immediately wiped away tears and turned around as if nothing happened, "Let's go back, it's getting late."

"It's still you! Daoist Zhang didn't change us!" Zhang Dazhuang's wife expressed deep doubts about Xiao Xu's level of Taoism.

Xu Qingya, "..."
