In ancient times, there was a man named Zhu Ermao who knew some medicinal materials and mainly relied on digging medicine to sell it to the doctor to make a living. He had no father or mother, had no wife, and lived alone in a remote mountain village.
Because he is alone and doesn't have to care about his family, he eats himself and is not hungry, so he develops the bad habit of being lazy, idle, and drinking.
Because of this, his family is in a very difficult situation and he often has hunger and full meals, but he doesn't care at all. As long as there is wine at home, he can support it by serving some wild vegetables.
Once he drank all the wine at home, he remembered to go to the mountain to pick some medicine to sell.
Recently, the house was completely out of wine. After struggling in the bed, he carried a basket on his back and walked towards the mountain with a small hoe. The place where
medicinal materials grow is very high at an altitude. He walked until around noon to the place where healing was collected.
Although he is lazy and addicted to alcohol, the medicinal materials he picks are very rare. It depends entirely on his courage to go to places that others dare not go.
Arrived at the place, sat down and rested for a while, and then he began to search carefully.
searched for more than an hour, but still found nothing. He was impatient and was a little angry. He cursed himself for a few times and then sat down.
After sitting down, he leaned back and wanted to lie down and rest, but he could feel something icy and slippery when he reached out his hand.
He immediately looked back and saw Two green snakes were woven together and mate. He felt that this would be a big bad luck, because the older generation once said that seeing snakes entangled together would have bad luck, either kill them or take out incense to pay tribute to them.
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the stone and hit the green snake, but unexpectedly he only killed one of them.
Another one glanced at Zhu Ermao and quickly got into the stone cave beside him. Seeing this, he picked up the stone and chased after him. However, the cave was too small and he couldn't reach it. After all his efforts, he sat on the ground and rested.
I thought to myself that the old people once said that it is a great ominous thing to meet a snake. When you see a snake, you either don’t fight. If you want to fight, you have to be beaten to death. The snake holds a lot of grudges and will come back to seek revenge.
Thinking of this again, Zhu Ermao broke out in a cold sweat on his back. After saying a few words of guilt, he stood up and put on his back to leave.
What he didn't expect was that he would see a rare medicinal plant on the way home. He happily stepped forward and dug it carefully.
When digging out medicinal materials, I remembered that I could get a sum of money immediately and was very happy. I completely forgot the green snake that escaped just now and my concerns.
After digging the medicinal materials, it was already evening. I couldn't get to my house before it was dark. So I came under a big stone and found some hay and branches to make a nest, and found some firewood to make a fire, and prepared to sleep here for a night.
It was almost dark, and suddenly his stomach started to rumbling. He swallowed, remembering the green snake he had beaten to death, so he got up and returned along the way to get the green snake to handle it, and roasted it and eat it.
After eating the snake meat, it was completely dark. He added some firewood and lie down on the hay and branches he had laid down and fell asleep.
Not long after he fell asleep, he had a strange dream. In the dream, a huge green snake entangled him and opened his bloody mouth to swallow him.
Zhu Ermao was frightened and pissed his pants directly. The green snake smelled the smell of urine, let him go, and said to him coldly, "You will get retribution!"
After saying that, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared. Zhu Ermao woke up in shock, sat up, stroked his chest with his hands, and gasped heavily.
After a long time, he recovered. Only when he recovered did he feel a wetness below.
He said to himself, "This dream is so scary, it scares me."
He touched his wet pants, looked up at the fire again, but fortunately the fire was not completely extinguished, and a little charcoal was still burning. He quickly put the fire on and blew a few breaths with his mouth to reignite the fire.
ignited the fire, he took off his wet pants and roasted it by the fire. As the temperature rose, a stream of heat came up from his pants.
The smell of nose hit only in Zhu Ermao's nostrils, which made him retching several times.
After a while, his pants were dry. After putting on his pants, he recalled the nightmare he had just now and never dared to sleep anymore. He could only sit by the fire and wait for dawn.
After a long time, it got up. Zhu Ermao hurriedly got up and carried a basket on his back and rushed down the mountain. After returning home, he took the medicinal materials to the street and sold them, bought some rice and liquor home.
It was already dark when he got home. He made some food and fed several large glasses of liquor. Afterwards, he came to the bed and fell asleep. Not long after he fell asleep, he had another strange dream. He dreamed of a beautiful woman waving to him. He ran towards the woman lustfully, but no matter how he ran, he couldn't chase the woman in front of him.
chased her for a long time, and he was so tired that he supported his hands on his knees, bent over and panting.
Rest for a while, he saw that the woman was still smiling in front of him and waved to him.

Zhu Ermao said angrily, "If you have the ability, come here, see if I don't train you, be good at it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman walked towards him, came to him, stretched out her hands and put her around his neck.
Zhu Ermao was overjoyed when he saw this, stretched out her mouth and leaned over. Unexpectedly, before his mouth reached the woman's face, the woman suddenly spit out her long tongue and licked his face.
Zhu Ermao was so scared that he pushed the woman away. The woman bent down and crawled from her crotch to behind her. Her body twisted strangely and gradually turned into a green snake.
Zhu Ermao remembered the dream last night. He hurriedly took off his pants and shot a yellow liquid at the green snake. The green snake was so scared that he ran away.
After the green snake escaped, he woke up.
After waking up, he was scared. I have to curl up at the head of the bed and dare not fall asleep again.
for several days, he would have nightmares like this every day when he fell asleep. Helplessly, he could only drink a lot of water every day before going to bed, and use his own urine to save his life.
About seven or eight days later, the matchmaker in the village took the initiative to come to him and said he wanted to introduce his wife to him.
He has been single for so long, and when he heard the matchmaker introduce his wife to him, he was so excited that he forgot all the previous nightmares.
hurriedly asked the matchmaker to take him to see the woman he wanted to introduce to him. The matchmaker took him to the halfway point with a smile. In a village on the waist.
came to the village, and the matchmaker took him into a family at the end of the village.
After coming to that house, Zhu Ermao found that the house and furniture were very delicate, with only a mistress with a veil, which looked a little lacking in popularity and gloomy.
matchmaker grabbed him, looking around, and introduced the hostess' name to him. After
, Huang Lili covered her cheeks, and her delicate face immediately made Zhu Ermao sink. He swallowed a saliva, and then looked at Huang Lili without blinking.

Huang Lili was a little shy when she saw that she quickly took the veil back, which made Zhu Ermao come to her senses.
The matchmaker saw that the two were interesting, so she said a few nice words and said goodbye and left first.
After the matchmaker left, Huang Lili called Zhu Ermao to sit down, and then brought a table of delicacies and a pot of fine wine.
Zhu Ermao was not polite, so she picked up the chopsticks and swallowed them voraciously, eating and drinking. In a short while, she ate all the dishes on a large table and drank a large pot of fine wine.
He was originally addicted to alcohol and shouldn't have been drunk after drinking this pot, but for some reason this time, as soon as he finished drinking, he fell head-on on the table.
After falling to the table, his consciousness suddenly came to the place where he killed the green snake a few days ago.
Before he could shout loudly, a green snake with a big bowl of mouth entangled him tightly and opened his bloody mouth to swallow him.
He tried his best to pee and soak it out and drove away the green snake. He had no choice but to squeeze out a drop of urine no matter how hard he tried.
Qingshe saw his appearance and immediately stopped her mouth and then laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, do you still want to use that old-fashioned way to urinate evil spirits to drive me away? Tonight, you are in my magic circle, Daluo Jinxian can't save you."
After saying that, he opened his bloody mouth again to swallow him.
He saw that he was about to die, so he could only treat the dead horse as a living horse, saying that he had a way to help the dead green snake resurrection.
Qingshe stopped and asked anxiously after hearing this.
"Do you really have a way to revive my husband?"
Zhu Ermao nodded quickly and said with a heavy breath.
"I can save it. Give me three days. Don't harass me in these three days. I'll prepare what it needs to save it."
After hearing this, Qingshe didn't believe it, but it was easier to think that he wanted to kill him. It would be great if he could really revive his husband.
Thinking of this, the green snake let go of him, then turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew away.
After breaking free from the shackles, he knelt on the ground and gasped. After calming down, he found that he was still on his bed and had not gone out elsewhere.
This made him realize that what happened just now was a dream, but the dream was very real, and he dared not bet that the green snake could not eat him in the dream.
But now I have said it, the most important thing is how to save its husband to save his life.
Lying on the bed and thinking, suddenly a trace of golden light flashed in his mind. He jumped off the bed with excitement and muttered.
"Isn't there a Zhang Daxian in the Taoist temple in the back mountain of our village? He must have a way to save himself."
Thinking of this glimmer of vitality, Zhu Ermao immediately put on his clothes and ran towards the Taoist temple in the back mountain.
came to the Taoist temple, found Zhang Daxian, and told Zhang Daxian everything he encountered.
Zhang Daxian immediately stood there after hearing this. After a while, he sighed and said slowly.
"What you offended this time is not a simple mountain spirit ghost, and you did it so amazingly. You even ate its corpse. Now I have a magic circle that can save you, but it depends on your luck. If you make any mistakes, all your efforts will be wasted."
Zhu Ermao immediately knelt on the ground after hearing Zhang Daxian's words, hugged Zhang Daxian's legs, and cried and asked Zhang Daxian to save him.
Zhang Daxian cares about the people. Although Zhu Ermao caused great trouble this time, he decided to save him because in Zhang Daxian's heart, everyone has kindness and can repent, and should give him another chance.
Then he bit his finger and pointed the blood on Zhu Ermao's forehead, bowed with one hand, waved the whisk with the other hand, closed his eyes, and recited a spell in his mouth.
Zhu Ermao suddenly turned black and fell down. When he broke away again, he found himself in the bustling city with a precious medicinal herb.
He was overjoyed and was about to take the medicinal materials to the medicine shop and buy wine. When he sold the medicinal materials and walked out of the medicine shop with the silver, he bumped into a man carrying a snake in a bamboo cage.
He was shocked when he saw the snake. The man asked him if he wanted to buy a few to drink.
He looked at the snake running up and down in the bamboo cage and fell into deep thought. Seeing that he had no reaction, the man was ready to leave.
Just as the man turned around, he immediately figured it out, grabbed the man's hand, bought all the snakes with the money he had just sold the medicine, and then took it to the wild to release it.
After the snake was released, his eyes suddenly turned dark and fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Taoist temple.
I saw blood oozing from the corner of Zhang Daxian’s mouth, and he sat on the ground with a pale face. There was a woman standing next to him, which was Huang Lili whom she dreamed of that night.
Zhu Ermao didn't understand why, so he stepped forward to support Zhang Daxian.
Zhang Daxian stood up, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and then bowed to Huang Lili and said.
"Thanks to the fairy girl for being willing to spare his life."
Huang Lili glared at Zhu Ermao fiercely, then helped Zhang Daxian up and said.
"Tao Master, I hope your decision is right. I will often pay attention to him. If he makes a mistake again, I will not blame me."
It turns out that Huang Lili is the Green Snake. Zhang Daxian's magic circle sacrifices his hundred years of cultivation to recall the soul of the Green Snake husband and let him grow again. The snake-selling incident that Zhu Ermao encountered just now was just a test for him.
After Zhu Ermao understood everything, in order not to let Zhang Daxian down, he made up his mind to change his previous bad habits and do more good deeds.
Sure enough, this time the green snake did not come to him again to dream of him. After the disaster, he changed his previous laziness and worked hard, and no longer hurt animals. He often did some good deeds within his ability.
Just over a year passed, and his kindness and hard work were seen by the villagers, and a villager even married his daughter to him.
Finally, he and his wife lived a happy life. After marrying his wife, he did more good deeds in order to accumulate virtue for his descendants.
