"Uncle, you bought me time, giving me the opportunity to anesthetic the python and make it unconscious, so that I had the chance to kill it.
Uncle, can you please promise me not to say that I killed the python?
After all, I am just a woman, and no one would believe me if I told others about it."
"Why not believe it? We all saw you kill those wolves clearly!
Hey, little pigeon, I was indeed a little scared of you just now.
But on second thought, when the wolves were besieging you, you were able to fight back calmly. What's so strange about you being able to do the same when facing this giant python?
Aren’t you going to wake my brother up?
I’ll leave it to you then.”
Zhou Xiaoniu seemed to have suddenly opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and he understood everything at once.
His words made Chaoge at a loss for words.
She didn't want to be in the spotlight, she just wanted to arrive in Xilin County safely.
“Hey, just listen to the little pigeon.
No matter what, the little pigeon is the savior of the three of us. When the time comes, Xiao Niu will say that it was the two of us who killed the giant python.
After all, the little pigeon is a girl, so it is better to have less trouble than more.”
Sure enough, the hunter was old and had a much calmer mind. He immediately knew what Chaoge was worried about and nodded in agreement.
Chaoge gave the hunter a grateful smile.
"Okay, Uncle Qiu, you're right. Little Pigeon is a woman. If word gets out about her being so fierce, people will be scared to death by her.
Besides, the little pigeon saved us, so we can't cheat them, right?"
Chaoge was not afraid of having a bad reputation among the refugees, he just didn't want to get involved and let others think his background and identity were too complicated.
After all, her identities and those of the Leng family siblings could not withstand being exposed.
After Chaoge woke Zhou Daniu up, he had to explain again.
In order to prevent the python's gallbladder from falling into the hands of connoisseurs, Chaoge took out the python's inner gall before waking up Zhou Daniu.
"In the past, some old people in the village used snake gall to make wine. This python gall is so big, it must be a good thing.
Just keep it, little pigeon. This thing is yours.
We will go find some villagers now to take the python back. When they come, we will tell them that we don’t know where the snake’s gallbladder has gone.”
Zhou Qiulian even thought of an excuse for Chaoge. Although he knew that Chaoge deserved the snake gall, when he thought of the faces of those people in the village, he felt that it was better to have less trouble.
Chaoge was also a very insightful person and understood what he meant instantly.
Unexpectedly, before Chaoge could speak, Zhou Xiaoniu looked unhappy.
"Heh, should we give this python meat to those heartless people? Why should we let them share the meat?
They left us behind to run for their lives, and we let them divide the meat?"
Chaoge actually didn’t care about the python meat, she only cared about the snake gall.
If possible, she could also collect the python's venom sac.
Zhou Qiu frowned immediately upon hearing this, and obviously remembered the previous unhappiness.
“Never mind. Even though we can’t count on them, we still have our old and young, and other villagers who also need to eat.
Many villagers have run out of food, so let's help them. Anyway, this python is so big that we can't eat it all."
After saying that, Zhou Qiu reminded Zhou Xiaoniu not to let the matter of the snake gallbladder slip. This time Zhou Xiaoniu did not refute it.
"Thank you Uncle Qiu and Brother Xiao Niu."
Regarding the matter of snake gall, although the truth cannot be hidden, who is who in Xilin County?
Even if those villagers want to get the snake gall, they have to see if they can find her.
Zhou Daniu was taken far away and was revived by Chaoge with a silver needle. When he opened his eyes, he saw his own brother. Thinking back to the previous scene, Zhou Daniu hugged Zhou Xiaoniu and burst into tears!
"I thought I was dead. The python's mouth was so smelly, and its sharp teeth and tongue..."
At this point, Zhou Daniu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, I can't think about it anymore, it's too scary, too scary!
Xiao Niu, Uncle Qiu thanks you so much. Without you, I would have reunited with my parents in the underworld!"
Looking at Zhou Daniu who was more timid than a woman, Chaoge shook her head helplessly: "Uncle Qiu, I'll go find the villagers, you guys stay here, otherwise if other refugees see the body of the giant python, there will be a fight for it."
“Don’t go, Xiao Niu, you go.
With a boy like him around, how could a girl like you, Little Pigeon, have the chance to run away?"
"Okay, I'll leave my big brother to you, Uncle Qiu."
In the end, the villagers didn't run too far. After all, they had been climbing the mountain for half a day and their physical strength was limited.
Feeling nothing unusual behind them, they found an open space and sat on the ground to rest.
In fact, they also wanted to wait and see if a miracle would happen to Zhou Daniu and his men, just like the time when Chaoge was taken away by the Black Panther.
"Village Chief, when will this end?
We finally reached the top of the mountain and encountered a terrifying giant python. I think the python was almost a dragon. It was so scary.
The two brothers Daniu and Zhou Qiu might only be enough for it to eat for one meal.
And that little pigeon, oh!
If it weren’t for Little Pigeon’s meddling, Zhou Qiu wouldn’t have gone to die.”
After resting for a while, some villagers recalled the previous scenes and began to shirk responsibility while still feeling frightened.
Even if they were not the ones who killed Zhou Daniu and Zhou Qiu, they still wanted to find someone to take the blame for their lives at this time.
Chaoge was not there, so it naturally became Chaoge.
Even though they had agreed to go together to find water, this excuse was naturally ignored by them.
