Yunnan Yao had been working inside for so long, and now he was really thirsty and tired. He pointed at Yun Xun and said, "Go get me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst."

Then everyone remembered that the two of them had been busy inside for so long. Soon, stools and water were placed in front of them. The two of them didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to enjoy everyone's service. They really couldn't take it anymore.

After Dr. Xia and Yunnan Medicine had rested for a while, Dr. Xia finally spoke, "Three ribs were broken. Surgery is not possible right now. We just did a simple repositioning. In the future, we can only rely on calcium supplements to let it heal slowly on its own."

At this point, Dr. Xia paused for a moment before continuing, "As for the internal organs, we need to observe them. As long as there is no internal bleeding, they will be fine after a period of rest."

"What if there's internal bleeding?" Yun Qiao asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

The Yunnan medicine doctor glanced at him and said, "That's why I said it's only temporary, and the rest is up to fate! If it really is internal bleeding, there's nothing we can do to treat it now."

Compared to these, some other minor wounds and bone fractures were not as serious.

Wu Yong and the others who had just gone in to help witnessed Yun Lecang's body, which was covered in black and blue marks from being bound by snakes, with blood even seeping from some of his skin. The sight was truly gruesome.

But at this moment, they dared not say anything, for fear of increasing everyone's psychological burden.

It's not a good idea for so many people to stay here, because no one knows if the giant snake will come back tomorrow. Seeing that no one intends to leave, Yunnan Yao simply told them to drive the snake away.

"You can all leave now. There's no point in you staying here, and you've all had a long day. Go back and get some rest. There are tough battles ahead."

Watching the person slowly leave, Yunnan Medicine called out to Liu Zhijian and asked him with a smile, "Old Liu, I heard that the medicine you concocted this time is quite effective. Could you tell me roughly what herbs you used?"

He knew that Liu Zhijian must have some ancestral secret recipes. The reason he was so bold in asking this time was because Liu had generously shared the recipes with everyone before. He wouldn't be surprised if Liu refused this time.

Furthermore, the snake repellent medicine he developed was an improvement on a prescription he provided. Although the village gave him a certain share of the profits, the village profited more.

Liu Zhijian knew that this drug fanatic calling him over was no good news; sure enough, it was still related to drugs.

"It's too late now, you need to rest too. We can discuss it properly after this is all over." Seeing that he had been busy for so long, Liu Zhijian didn't dare to grab him and discuss the previous recipes.

Upon hearing his reply, Yunnan Yao didn't care about the few days left, and besides, he had already reached his limit. He could only wave his hand and say, "Remember, or I'll come knocking on your door."

As Liu Zhijian walked out, he said, "That's for sure, but there are some medicinal herbs that I'm currently lacking. I don't know when I'll be able to get the herbs back."

Liu Zhijian sighed when he realized that he couldn't purchase the medicinal herbs now. If it were as convenient as before, this time it wouldn't be so difficult. He carefully mixed the herbs for a long time before finally getting the powder mixed.

After all the villagers left, the courtyard fell silent. Yun Lecang's family stubbornly remained seated, seemingly intending to stay and keep watch.

Dr. Xia didn't try to persuade him, but simply explained his general condition: "There's not much point in you staying here now. He probably won't wake up tonight, so it's the same if you come back tomorrow morning. After all, he still has a long recovery period ahead, and we'll have to rely on you all to keep him going."

Yun Lecang's mother said to the relatives and friends around her, "Thank you for staying here, but you all heard what Dr. Xia said, so please go back."

After saying that, she stubbornly sat by the door, looking at her son lying on the bed through the slightly ajar door, her eyes filled with heartache.

Many people couldn't sleep that night because of their worry; this was the first person in the village to be injured since the great disaster.

Although Yun Zhixin was shot last time, he only returned after receiving treatment in the city. It was never as shocking as witnessing it in person. Everyone felt very sorry for Yun Lecang, and many people were even discussing with their families what to give their child to help him recover.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the back mountain. After all, the trench area had been completely destroyed, and the defenses set up yesterday seemed to have no effect on the giant snake. They had to think of another way.

“We’re in a very passive position. If we knew where that giant snake’s lair was, we might have a way to deal with it,” Yunxiang said as he whittled a wooden stick.

Hou Yunyang: "Even if we know its cave, what can we do with it?"

Yunxiang said, "These snakes usually live in caves. Once we find them, we can use fire to attack them."

Hou Yunyang said, "A snake wouldn't have just one entrance, and for a python this big, how small could the entrance be? It's not the kind of method I told you about at all."

"What can we do then?" Yunxiang said, somewhat discouraged. "We can't stop it from entering the village every time. It's a pity that Uncle Liu's medicine powder is out of ingredients. Even if we use it sparingly, it can only be used twice. Once we run out of medicine powder, won't our village be doomed?"

Yun Qiao said hopefully, "Now I hope that the snake won't dare to come and cause trouble in our village again because it was injured yesterday."

“You’ve got it wrong. Snakes are very vengeful animals. We’ve gone against it several times, and it might be thinking about when to take revenge,” Liu Zhijian said as he walked over.

People generally believed him, after all, their ancestors had dealt with snakes for generations and knew much more about their habits than the average person.

"So we're just going to fight it to the death?" Yun Qiao stopped what she was doing and looked at Liu Zhijian, asking, "Is there any other way to stop it from entering the village?"

Liu Zhijian shook his head. "There really isn't one. Besides, this snake is a hybrid mutation. It might grow bigger and bigger as time goes on, making it even more difficult to deal with."

Considering the animals that kept escaping from place to place recently, you can imagine how much it eats. If this continues, the village will really have no way to deal with it.

"I wonder when Brother Cheng and the others will be back. With them around, we'll have a much better chance of winning." Yunxiang's words reassured everyone, as if they had found a pillar of support.

"Yes, let's hold out for as long as we can. When Brother Cheng and the others come back, they should have a way to deal with it. If all else fails, we're not afraid to fight it head-on."
