Zhang Fangju suddenly laughed out of anger, "Don't walk next to me, stay away from me!"
"Oh, Ju Niang, don't be angry, I... I didn't mean it... I..."
Shen Fuyou immediately moved closer to Zhang and focused on coaxing his wife.
Chen Xinli felt relieved when she saw that her second uncle had diverted his attention.
But Shen Yushan was afraid of snakes.
Especially when he glanced behind him.
I found something moving on the ground about two feet away.
I was immediately scared to death.
He ran after the big brother in front of him!
"Fugui," Old Man Wu, who was walking behind, was also a little scared. He moved closer to his son-in-law in front and whispered, "Did we get contaminated by something dirty? Otherwise, why would that snake keep following us?"
Although the worms did not attack them for the time being.
But being followed by a group of snakes in the middle of the night made the Shen family feel uneasy.
"Grandpa, don't be afraid. We have medicine powder. The bugs won't come near us. Besides, we should be there soon!"
Chen Xinli comforted again.
After coming to this world, her worldview has changed, but it is better not to scare yourself.
"Yes, yes, we have the detoxification pills given by Doctor Meng, as well as the insect and snake repellent powder we used earlier. That's why these snakes don't dare to come near us!"
Old Mrs. Wu also comforted herself.
The Shen family finally arrived at the Bear Village with their guard up.
As soon as we entered the village, the group of snakes behind us seemed to have been summoned and all left.
The Shen family was even more surprised.
The village head was an old man named Yu. Although he had received a notice from the government office some time ago saying that an exile was coming.
But in the past half month, no one has entered the Bear Village.
The village head thought that these people had probably been swallowed by the snake like before.
Speaking of Bear Village, it was not called this name before.
It is called Mang Village.
All the exiled prisoners who arrived here were in danger of death, as most of them were buried in the belly of snakes.
The local government thought that Python Village sounded scary, so they changed the name to Bear Village.
Because in addition to snakes, there are also bears in the area.
As for this bear, it was covered in black and white fur, was as tall as an adult man, and weighed at least three or four hundred pounds. The sight of it standing tall and waving its paws was truly terrifying.
Previously, a hunter went into the mountains to hunt and saw a mother bear. He wanted to kill the bear, but he didn't expect the mother bear to be so flexible that she could dodge the arrow.
The only tiny bear cub left was caught and sold by hunters.
But later when the hunter went up the mountain to hunt the bear again, he was attacked by the bear.
The hunter was directly scratched by its sharp claws and died shortly after being found and carried back by the villagers!
Therefore, the Bear Village is to remind villagers and outsiders that the bears here will bite people.
The village head was looking at the group of people in front of him, and the people in front of him were also looking at him.
The old man was not tall to begin with, and he had a hunched back, which made him look like a piece of dried meat.
At this moment, he was rubbing his cloudy eyes hard with his hands.
It seems a little unbelievable.
"You, you crossed the small concave ridge?"
The Shen family looked at each other, not understanding what the Xiaoaoling he was talking about was.
"Uncle, are you talking about the several ponds halfway up the mountain between the two mountains?"
Shen Fugui recalled the terrain and asked patiently.
"Yes, yes, that's Xiaoaoling."
The old man nodded and spoke excitedly, as if he was expecting something, but Shen Fugui stopped talking after he finished speaking.
"You...you didn't encounter anything weird?"
The old man was still very curious.
"You mean snake?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! You encountered a snake?" The old man widened his eyes, finding it even more difficult to believe how these people appeared out of nowhere.
"Those snakes just followed us here."
"What?"
The old man found it even harder to believe, muttering to himself, "Can you...can you tell me what happened in detail?"
Shen Fugui carefully recalled the movements of the snakes.
"They really don't attack people, sir. When we walked over here, there were snakes all around us. Some snakes stood up on the left and looked at us. Others were walking along the road ahead and would look at us from time to time."
"Yet there are snakes on both sides raising their bodies in fan shapes, but they are not attacking you?"
The old man said with a gleam in his eyes.
"The light was poor at night, and we only saw snakes standing upright on both sides of the forest beside the road. We didn't know they could form formations. These snakes..."
Shen Fuyou rushed into the village and interrupted his elder brother's explanation. "Grandpa, are you saying that the snakes here have become spirits?"
But the old man ignored Shen Fuyou's questions.
He looked at Shen Fugui again and asked respectfully, "You mean there are snakes in front and behind to guide you? What are the patterns of those snakes and how thick are they?"
I didn't look at it carefully, the children at home were in front.
"The front is decorated with red hemp patterns, and it's as thick as a child's arm."
Shen Jinshan replied.
"The back, the back has a black hemp pattern," added Old Man Wu.
After hearing the news, the old man's cloudy eyes seemed to suddenly become much clearer.
"Grandpa, can we go into the village now?"
Shen Fuyou was getting really impatient waiting.
"Yes, yes, please come in, please come in."
The old man finally became convinced that a turning point was finally coming for their village.
He immediately took Chen Xinli and her family towards the ancestral hall in the west of the village.
Walk to two low thatched huts.
