Zhou Jianming glanced casually and suddenly saw a giant python sticking out its tongue. He was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.

The python was grey in colour, as thick as a human arm and about four or five metres long. It was raising its head and making threatening hissing sounds.

Zhou Jianming had never seen such a big python in his life, and his legs went limp with fear.

He instinctively started to run, but after just two or three steps, he stopped.

There are shivering chicks behind him. If he runs away, won’t these chicks become a big meal for the python?

Thinking of this, he plucked up his courage, picked up a long stick from the side, and started swinging it.

When the python saw that he picked up the weapon, it became even angrier and kept leaning forward, trying to bite him.

Zhou Jianming waved the tree branch and shouted, "Get out of here, you beast! Or I'll beat you to death."

But the python didn't seem to be afraid of people. It began to move closer and closer to him.

Zhou Jianming was so scared that his heart was pounding and he hit the python with a stick.

The python felt the pain, became crazy, and pounced towards Zhou Jianming.

Zhou Jianming was unable to dodge and was bitten on the ankle.

A sharp pain came out instantly, and Zhou Jianming was so scared that he ran to the side, but he didn't expect the python to chase him again.

In desperation, Zhou Jianming swung a stick and hit the python on the head.

The python was knocked over and rolled over, revealing its light yellow belly. In an instant it turned over again and pretended to pounce forward.

Zhou Jianming held the stick tightly and stared at the python.

The python turned around quickly, crawled into a hole in the earth, and disappeared.

Zhou Jianming was sweating profusely and walked carefully to the front of the cave. He found that it was an earth hole as big as a bowl.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside the fence. Zhou Jianming hurriedly picked up a stick. He saw the python quickly crawling into the woods and disappeared.

Zhou Jianming then discovered that this hole was connected to the outside, no wonder this guy had managed to get in.

He didn't dare to delay and hurriedly brought a shovel to block the hole.

After finishing all these things, Zhou Jianming was soaked all over. He gasped for breath and collapsed to the ground.

After a long time, he stood up and bravely walked around the fence, but found no other holes.

Zhou Jianming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he tried to drive the chicks aside.

Only after seeing that the chicks were finally no longer afraid did he turn around and leave.

It was already noon when he returned home, and he sat on a stool as soon as he entered the door.

Zhou Bin felt a little strange as to why his father looked so pale and particularly weak.

So he asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Jianming shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Binbin, something happened."

Zhou Bin was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Dad, what happened? Did the chicken die?"

Zhou Jianming waved his hands: "No, that guy is too scary!"

Zhou Bin asked anxiously: "Dad, what happened? Tell me quickly."

Zhou Jianming was about to speak when Liu Junyi walked in from the door.

He is off today and came to visit when he has nothing to do.

Zhou Jianming greeted him and then told him with a horrified look about how he encountered a python in the ditch.

Zhou Bin and Liu Junyi were both stunned.

Liu Junyi couldn't help but ask, "Jianming, did you really see such a big worm?"

Zhou Jianming rolled up his trouser legs and said, "Look, this is what that guy bit."

Zhou Bin looked down and couldn't help but screamed, seeing two rows of densely packed bloody holes on his father's ankles.

"Oh, Dad, why is your foot injured like this? Let's go to the clinic quickly!" Zhou Bin shouted anxiously.

Liu Junyi was also frightened and shuddered: "My God, such big teeth! It can eat people!"

Zhou Jianming said, "It's okay. It's not bleeding now."

Zhou Bin carried him on his back to find Wang Hengfa without saying a word.

Zhou Jianming didn't want to go, but later he couldn't resist Zhou Bin's persuasion and went to the clinic with him.

Liu Junyi was also greatly shocked. He had lived for most of his life and had never seen such a big worm.

When he arrived at the clinic, Wang Hengfa looked at the wound and was terrified.

It was the first time he had seen a worm bite such a large wound.

He hurriedly disinfected Zhou Jianming's wound and then applied medicine on it, and that was the end of the treatment.

Since pythons are not poisonous, there is no need to worry too much.

After treating the wound, Zhou Bin helped Zhou Jianming go home.

As soon as she got home, Li Nan came back from outside. When she learned what happened to her father-in-law in the ditch, she was terrified.

She said with a worried look on her face: "Brother Bin, why are there huge worms there? What will happen to the chicks in the future?"

Zhou Bin comforted him, "It's okay, it's just a long worm. I'll ask Aniu to take a look later."

When Li Nan heard this, he became even more worried: "Brother Bin, you don't dare to go. The worms are very scary. If something happens, it will be terrible."

Zhou Bin smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, it's just a snake. I'm not afraid of wild wolves, so why should I be afraid of this one? If it dares to come again, I promise to catch it."

Li Nan couldn't help but shiver. She was scared just thinking about that thing. If she wanted to catch it, she would be scared to death.

Soon, by the afternoon, the whole village was talking about a huge worm that had appeared in the ditch. It was said that its body was thicker than a bucket, its eyes were as big as lanterns, and it could swallow a person in one bite.

Zhou Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know why these people spread such outrageous stories.
