Chapter 61: The Ownership of the Flower Python
"I caught it. Oh, and there's a black one too." The python had been trapped in the net. Although it was still struggling, it was like a trapped beast and had no power to break free from the net. It could only roar like crazy inside. At this time, the person who hung the python suddenly asked.
After hearing what he said, everyone looked around and found that there was no trace of the black snake in the whole yard. Jiang He saw that they were focusing their attention on him and asked quickly, "Isn't there only this one? How could there be another one? And I only saw this one python? Did you... see it?"
Gao Youhui shook his head. "Village Chief, could it be that you saw it wrong? We did not see any other snakes coming in. Could it be the shadow of the python? After all, it is so big that it is not easy to mistake the shadow for another snake."
Lu Mingfeng continued, "I certainly didn't see anything else coming from this corner. I wonder if Comrade Yu saw it?" He threw the question to Yu Zhengming.
Yu Zhengming also hurriedly asked, "Indeed, apart from this flower awn, I didn't see anything else coming in. The moon is not very bright today. Could it have mistaken a branch for a snake?"
Hearing that only four people said they didn't see the black snake, Liu Chunsheng frowned. He didn't give up. He checked the ground carefully again and soon saw the corner of the wall. He reached out his hand to touch the dog hole, put it to his nose and smelled it, then asked, "Who is standing here?"
"It's me. I really didn't see anything walking out from in here at that time. Unless something took the opportunity to escape from in here when I was fighting with the flower python." Jiang He said half-truthfully.
Liu Chunsheng showed disappointment on his face, but he didn't say anything else. "Maybe we saw it wrong, but we should organize patrols in the next two days. Even if we saw it wrong, we still have to be careful."
The other villagers nodded when they heard this. After all, they did see a black snake shadow. Before they found it, everyone hoped in their hearts that it was a shadow.
"Enough. After all this trouble, let's all go home." Liu Chunsheng actually didn't find any trace of that thing, and he could only tell himself in his heart that it was indeed a shadow.
"Then what should we do with this thing? If we don't deal with it, it will be difficult to catch it if it runs out?" The man who came forward to help tie up the python frowned.
"I think we should kill it now, dig out the gallbladder and peel off the skin. Maybe each household can get some meat." A villager suggested.
"No!"
"No!"
Two voices rang out at the same time. Jiang He and Lu Mingfeng looked at each other and said, "This snake was raised to this size by the Japanese for experiments. Who knows what it has eaten before? If it has eaten something, it would be fine if it just has a stomachache. But if it has eaten something fatal, it would be bad."
"How can it be so mysterious?" One villager was obviously unconvinced, but was quickly pulled back by his companions, "How about you take the first bite?"
"Hehe, I'm just asking." The villager stopped talking immediately after being told off.
Lu Mingfeng glanced at the villagers who were somewhat unwilling to give up, and then said, "When I was in school before, I read a foreign book, which mentioned that there are about ten kinds of parasites found in snakes.
