During the years of the Ming Dynasty, there lived a big python on Qinglong Mountain. He had practiced hard for 3,000 years and had unlimited power. However, because of his cruel personality, he always liked to go down the mountain and kill people's livestock, which made people panic for a while.
This morning, Magistrate Zhang was having breakfast in his mansion. Suddenly he heard a noise at the gate, which made him frown and felt something was wrong.
So, he shouted directly to the government servant: "Come here! Go and find out quickly, what is the noise outside the door?"
"Tell your lord, a group of people came outside the door. It is said that it is because a big python appears on the mountain every night. They will all go down the mountain to kill the people’s livestock.” After the yamen officer finished speaking, he stood aside.
When Magistrate Zhang heard this, he said angrily: "This is unreasonable. How could such a thing happen during my tenure?"
So, he walked to the gate, opened the door and walked out.
When the people outside the door saw it, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please save us, sir! Send someone out of the big python quickly! Otherwise, our lives will be lost sooner or later!"
County Magistrate Zhang Upon hearing this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Folks, I have learned about your affairs. Now I will go up the mountain immediately to remove this big python. You can just wait with peace of mind!" After
finished speaking, Magistrate Zhang He immediately turned around and took all the government officials with him, fully armed and headed towards Qinglong Mountain.
However, what he didn't expect was that Magistrate Zhang would leave him there.
About two hours later, Magistrate Zhang finally arrived at Qinglong Mountain with 20 government officials.
Afterwards, he ordered people to look around for the python's hole and send a signal immediately after finding it.
However, when Magistrate Zhang had just reached the halfway point of the mountain, suddenly there was a strong wind all around, and there was a roar not far away. Then he heard a roar and saw a 2-foot-long python appear.
At this time, the boa constrictor said disdainfully: "I heard that you are looking for me? Do you want to die? I am in a good mood today. If you know what I am doing, you can retreat quickly, or you will be responsible for the consequences."
When Magistrate Zhang heard this, he said He became angry instantly and shouted directly: "Bold snake, you are just a snake demon who has been practicing for many years. With some practice, I have been righteous throughout my life, how can I be forced by you? Suffer death!"
finished! Finally, he drew out the butcher's knife and rushed forward with his servants.
When the big python saw it, he became angry instantly. With a sweep of his snake's tail, half of the government officials were killed or injured in an instant.
Then, the boa constrictor opened its mouth and sucked hard. These dead government servants were instantly sucked into the boa constrictor's belly.
After seeing the capital, Magistrate Zhang was so angry that his eyes were red and he immediately shouted: "Snake, I will fight with you. Either you die or I die today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Magistrate Zhang was seen holding a butcher knife. He slashed at the seven inches of the boa constrictor, and as a result, a burst of sparks flashed, leaving the boa constrictor intact.
Afterwards, the big python took the opportunity to swallow Magistrate Zhang in one gulp. When the remaining government officials saw it, they were so frightened that their backs went cold and they turned around and ran away.
Just like that, in order to save the people, County Magistrate Zhang sacrificed his life and became the ration of the boa constrictor.
2 days later, when the news came out, all the people shed tears and became even more worried. Can the newly appointed county magistrate eliminate this big python?
Three days later, the imperial court actually sent a 40-year-old county magistrate. This man was named Wu Yong. He was timid and fearful. He got this position through the back door and spent some money. He was a typical useless person.
When Magistrate Wu took office, he learned about the snake demon harming people through the government officials. Unexpectedly, he took the government officials up the mountain to find peace talks with the big python.
After some discussion, the big python finally agreed. As long as he gave him a girl every year, he could exempt the people from livestock!
Magistrate Wu was naturally overjoyed when he saw this result, but he was not a good person. How could he let go of this good opportunity for greed?
Therefore, the magistrate of Wu County issued a notice asking all the people to donate two cows every month to save their lives. Those who did not have cows at home could hand over silver coins or use grain instead. In short, you If you don't pay, your life will be at risk.
As a result, when this notice came out, people all over the city were angry. They gathered together and came to the Yamen to find Magistrate Wu for comment.
When all the people came to the yamen, they saw Magistrate Wu and a group of yamen servants standing coldly at the door waiting.
At this moment, Magistrate Wu suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile.
then shouted to the people: "You stupid people, I have worked so hard for you to make an agreement with the boa constrictor to save your lives. You really make me sad!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I saw An old man suddenly walked out of the crowd and said angrily: "Guan Guan, don't think that I don't know your tricks. You just want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. None of us are stupid."
When the old man finished speaking, , and another 10 big men stood out from the crowd, staring at Magistrate Wu together.
At this time, when Magistrate Wu saw it, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Ouch! There are really some people who are not afraid of death! It seems that I am going to be ruthless today, otherwise how can I make a fortune?
So Magistrate Wu shouted directly: "Here comes someone! Since a unruly citizen has appeared, how can I let him go? Pull him out and behead him immediately."
After finishing speaking, a group of government officials came up, Without saying a word, they took these people away directly.
When the people saw this scene, they were instantly stunned. After all, they had seen such a ferocious county magistrate there!
In desperation, all the people took out their belongings in order to save their lives.
Just like that, five years passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Magistrate Wu made a lot of money through the python, and at the same time killed five girls.
This summer, it’s time to give the boa constrictor a girl again!
However, Magistrate Wu found that he could not find a girl, and he was furious. It was probably because these people had hidden their children.
This morning, Magistrate Wu quietly came to the foot of a mountain with 10 government officials. When he saw that this family had 6 daughters, he kicked in the door and broke in.
It turns out that this is Old Man Li's home. In order to protect his six children, he actually took them to live in seclusion here.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he still could not escape from the grasp of Magistrate Wu.
At this time, Old Man Li immediately protected his daughter and shouted angrily: "Sir, don't go too far, you will be punished."
As a result, Magistrate Wu said disdainfully: "Am I so scared? No matter what happens today, I will take away one of your daughters, you think about it yourself!" As soon as
finished speaking, he saw Old Man Li's six daughters and his back was instantly frightened.
After a while, Li Mei, who was only 13 years old, suddenly stood up.
She said with a serious face: "Dad, let me go! You wrap up the big cake at home for me, and I will go with the hound."
After finishing speaking, Old Man Li pulled up his horse with tears in his eyes. Li Mei took her daughter and said to her: "Daughter, I am useless! Your life or death is uncertain now!"
Li Mei heard this and said with a smile: "Dad, why have you forgotten that I have been hunting with you since I was a child? , when the time comes, I will definitely find a chance to escape!" After
finished speaking, Li Mei turned around, carrying a bag and a hound, and was escorted away by Magistrate Wu.
2 hours later, Li Mei was sent to the entrance of the python's cave.
At this time, she calmed down and took out the pie directly from the package. Then, she took out a bottle of poison from her body, spread it evenly on the pie, and then quietly placed it at the python's hole.
After a while, Li Mei suddenly heard a roar coming from the cave, which startled her.
So, she looked up and saw two red lanterns floating at the entrance of the cave. They were blinking. They were probably the eyes of the boa constrictor!
At this moment, the big python swallowed the big cake at the entrance of the cave in one bite.
Then he said coldly: "Are you the food that Magistrate Wu sent me? If you don't hurry up and be eaten by me, how long will you wait?"
When Li Mei heard this, she immediately took out a short knife from her body , shouting at the hound: "Xiao Hei, rush up and kill the big python."
This hound is not an ordinary dog. It is as tall as a person and is so ferocious that even the tigers in the mountains can kill it. Bitten to death.
So, after hearing Li Mei's instructions, the hound rushed out instantly, and a moment later, they started fighting with the python.
After a while, the python suddenly let out a scream: "Ah! This cake is poisonous, you are so cunning."
After saying this, the python fell to the ground, rolling over in pain.
Seeing this good opportunity, Li Mei's eyes lit up, and she took a short knife and stabbed the seven inches of the big python.
After a while, the strength of this big python became less and less, and then it slowly lost its breath.
At this time, Li Mei was too tired to sit on the ground and panted. Then she wiped the snake blood on her face and smiled at her hound.
Postscript:
However, at this time, Old Man Li was not worried about his daughter, so he followed her secretly.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
After Li Mei saw Old Man Li, she smiled and said, "Dad, let's not be afraid this time. I got rid of this big python."
After finishing speaking, Li Mei's face showed a proud smile, He burst into laughter.
When Old Man Li saw it, he immediately hugged his daughter tightly and said with tears in his eyes: "You are such a good daughter for daddy!"
In this way, the news of the killing of the boa constrictor slowly spread throughout the world. All the people within a hundred miles radius were naturally happy.
3 days later, Magistrate Wu died inexplicably at home, with a sentence written on the wall: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end!"
