After a while, everyone woke up and looked at Tang Youyou carrying two buckets of water with wide eyes.
“This…this…”
She didn't take it seriously: "It was sent by Senior Python!"
When everyone heard this, they looked skeptical.
With a "bang", two sacks fell down.
Everyone turned around and saw the giant python leaving.
Bai Ruo bravely stepped forward, opened it, and was stunned: "It's dry food, but it's moldy!"
He dragged two sacks over with some difficulty, and "dong dong dong!" poured out all the contents.
Everyone looked like they had seen a ghost.
"This is the first time I've encountered this!"
"It really was sent by a python. Oh my god, this is so terrifying!"
Mother Tang gave Tang Youyou a meaningful look: "This is to thank Youyou for saving it!"
Old Man Tang also agreed: "I didn't expect that this animal is more affectionate than humans!"
"Oh! These buns have become like stones, so hard that I can't bite them. Ah... this... this..." Yu screamed as she pulled at the things.
Yao Cuihua pinched her and said, "Can you please stop being so startled all day? I'm afraid you'll scare me to death!"
Following Yu's gaze, she jumped up and said, "Mom..."
This scene instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone gathered around and found that there were pieces of gold underneath the pile of steamed buns.
Everyone looked at each other and swallowed.
"Ah!" Butcher Zhang screamed, and everyone shuddered again.
"Why did you pinch me?" He felt very aggrieved.
Xu Da scratched the back of his head: "I just wanted to see if I was dreaming. I never thought that pie would really fall from the sky."
Afterwards, everyone turned their gaze towards Tang Youyou, the meaning being self-evident.
Yao Cuihua said bluntly: "This is a gift from someone to thank Youyou, we can't accept it."
As soon as this was said, everyone agreed.
"Put it away quickly! We've all been very surprised today. Don't let us see it again!"
"That's right, put it away quickly, or my eyes will turn red! Haha..."
Tang Youyou chuckled, she knew these were not for her.
"Everyone who sees it gets a share!"
Gathering the gold together, it happened to be twenty-nine in total. She twitched her lips, wondering if this python knew how to count?
"One piece for each person, take it!"
Everyone quickly refused: "No, how can we accept this? No!"
"If I say yes, it's fine. Don't waste time. Fill up the water and let's get going!"
Seeing this, Tang's mother sighed softly. People's hearts are fickle. Now everyone is in the same boat and going through difficulties together, but it is hard to predict whether they will become jealous in the future because of what happened today. Just think of it as exchanging money for peace of mind.
Tang Youyou had the same idea in her mind. First, the gold was obviously given to everyone by the python; second, people's hearts were unpredictable, and it was unknown whether everyone would betray her in the future because of what happened today. The only way to ensure their safety was to tie everyone together.
Tang's mother took a piece first and nudged old man Tang with her elbow.
The latter understood: "Forget it, since Youyou has said it, let's not worry about it!"
I took one for myself as well.
Finally, everyone looked at her with gratitude: "Youyou, thank you!"
She waved her hand: "If you want to thank me, you have to wait until we successfully reach Nanzhou!"
Lin Huahua handed her a handful of gold and said, "Mom, you have to keep this gold. You are the backbone of our family, hehehe!"
Without waiting for her consent, he stuffed the knife into her hand, picked up the kitchen knife and started mowing the grass. Yes, it was a kitchen knife. The sickle had disappeared yesterday.
"What are you doing mowing the grass for, kid?"
"Mother, this grass is too soft to make sandals, but it can be made into a mat so you can sleep more comfortably at night."
Tang Youyou smiled slightly. Her daughter-in-law was really filial. Even when she was fleeing from famine, she still remembered to put herself first in everything.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone hurriedly ate and was about to leave.
With a whoosh, a flare cut through the sky.
"Go!"
It turned out that the bandits had been traveling for a day and a night and had finally chased us here.
"Boom!" The giant python came down from a big tree, slapping the boulder with its tail, blocking them.
"Senior! Take care!"
No one cared about anything else and just ran away.
"Fifth brother... is... a giant python!"
"Oh my god! The rumors are true!"
"What should I do? Those people seem to have run away?"
"It's really strange, why didn't the python hurt them?"
"Look, it's coming this way!"
Everyone was talking about it. Some were trembling, some were extremely excited, some had weak legs and feet, and some were ready to play dead.
Only a "hissing" sound was heard, and the giant python looked down at the bandits below with contempt in its eyes.
"Clang!" Someone threw away his sword, knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.
"God, please spare me, please spare me!"
He realized the python wasn't even looking at him, so he ran away. But before he had gone far, a huge rock hit him on the head...
Everyone held the knife handle tightly in their hands, their legs trembling unconsciously, and they felt as if they were falling into an icy cave in the hot summer, and they were extremely anxious.
"Fifth brother...what should we do?"
"How should I know what to do? Damn Xiaoliu, he tricked us!"
Xiaowu turned around abruptly and ran away, ignoring the shouts of his companions behind him.
Finally reaching the top of the hill, I felt a surge of joy in my heart, and I rushed down the hill at an increasingly fast speed.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a huge rock fell from the sky and knocked him away.
"Puff..." He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
