We talked on the phone for half an hour until we ran out of things to say and hung up.

Cave.

Song Facai had already decided to die and planned to starve to death in the cave. When he opened his eyes again, he found something golden not far away. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a large golden python about two meters long.

It remained motionless, as if it were dead.

This thing is valuable!

Song Facai abandoned his determination to die, wove a basket out of the surrounding vines, put the python inside, and took it home.

Seeing the empty courtyard, with neither Liu Zhaodi nor Song Min returning, his heart sank.

It seems I'll have to live alone from now on.

Looking at the golden python in the basket, I thought that since it could be used in medicine, it must be very valuable. I should take it to the market and sell it while it was still fresh.

With that thought, I changed direction and headed straight into the town. Because I had something to look forward to, I didn't care about my hunger at all, and just kept walking forward.

Upon arriving in town, he was so hungry he felt dizzy and thought he should find a place to eat something first.

The ideal place was Qiao Haisheng's shop. He asked around and quickly found the snack bar.

After two days and two nights without food or water, his lips were cracked and dry. Only then did he realize that his health was in serious condition.

Qiao Haisheng was carrying the packed items and was about to deliver them when he saw Song Facai standing at the door, looking like he was about to fall over.

I quickly put the things back on the table, then came out again to help the man up. Looking at the basket in his hand, I saw it was covered with a tattered cloth; I didn't know what was inside. I took it from him; it was surprisingly heavy.

What's wrong with you?

"Brother Haisheng, I haven't eaten or drunk anything for two days and two nights. Can you give me a bite to eat?" Song Facai managed to say his request, looking at the people in the snack bar who were eating and drinking heartily. He really wanted to eat a meal; he felt like he could eat a whole cow.

Qiao Haisheng couldn't bear it and helped him to the steps beside him: "I'll go get you some food."

"Okay!" Song Facai happily agreed. Looking at the basket beside him, he knew that after he had eaten his fill, he could sell the golden python and make money.

At this moment, the golden python lying in the basket awoke and found itself transformed back into its original form. After its initial disappointment, it realized it had been captured.

She was terrified when she discovered that she only had 110 magic power left.

To be on the safe side, she decided to run away and avoid direct conflict with anyone.

Qiao Haisheng went to the kitchen, filled a basin halfway with tofu pudding, and topped it with seven or eight slices of braised meat. He also took a pound of fried dough sticks. Feeling that was enough, he went out.

When Song Facai saw the food in the bowl, he was so moved that he burst into tears: "I really don't know what to say. When I was at my lowest point, you helped me."

I will remember this kindness and never forget it in my lifetime.

Qiao Haisheng was simply taking pity on him; he would give alms to even a beggar, because everyone has their share of hardship. If he couldn't give money, couldn't he at least offer a meal? Remembering he still had things to deliver, he glanced at him, turned around, grabbed his things, and went out again.

While Song Facai was eating heartily, he didn't notice at all that a golden python had crawled out from the gap in the basket and moved forward along the edge of the steps.

Just when it thought it had escaped, its entire body was grabbed and struggled, only to find out what was happening.

It turned out to be the wolf king.

They had interacted before, but there was no deep-seated grudge, perhaps due to the other's strength. They had never directly confronted each other.
