The whole village is starving, but I have a full warehouse of meat in the mall

Chapter 32: Golden Crown Snake Appears

Ye Sishan was so angry that he was about to rush forward, but Jiang Wan quickly grabbed him and said, "Sishan, don't be impulsive."

"He fell down by himself!" Ye Sishan said angrily.

Jiang Wan protected Ye Sishan behind him: "Mrs. Ye, since you said that it was my kid who beat him, do you dare to drag your grandson under the big locust tree and swear?"

The big locust tree in the center of Lotus Village has a history of at least a thousand years and has always been worshipped by the people of Lotus Village. Whenever there is something happening in the village, the head of the village will call on the villagers to discuss it there, calling it God's "instructions."

As for whether it was true or not, Jiang Wan didn't bother to investigate. As long as the villagers believed it, it was fine.

"I dare to go!" Ye Sishan said loudly: "Anyway, we didn't hit him, he fell down by himself!"

Ye Sanshu also said: "The three of us are here! If you want to go, let's go together."

Ye Xiaofang stared at Baoshan: "Yes, that's right. Since you said we beat you, do you dare to swear under the locust tree?"

Baoshan was anxious: "That's because you scared me, that's why I fell!"

It was not known whether Baoshan was forced into a corner or panicked, he just blurted out these words, and shouted them very loudly, so that everyone present could hear them clearly.

Li Zheng's face darkened: "Ye Baoshan, please say what you just said again."

Baoshan burst into tears: "They said they wanted to beat me. Ye Sanshu even brought such a big rock and said he wanted to smash me to death. There were three of them, so of course I couldn't beat them."

Grandma Ye was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat on the ground and cried, "Village head, did you hear that? They relied on their numbers to bully our Baoshan! If our Baoshan hadn't run fast, he would have been beaten to death! Is there any justice in the world?"

Jiang Wan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Why, just because you shout louder, you are right? Just now you insisted that Baoshan was beaten by my kid, but you didn't dare to swear under the big locust tree. Now you say that it was because my kids scared him that he fell."

"Then next time your Baoshan gets sick, you can say it's my son's fault. If you want to extort money, just tell me!"

The headman was so angry that his face turned blue: "Second Sister Ye, have you had enough of making trouble? I know your son-in-law is useless and that he owed you gambling debts so that you sold all your belongings, but this is not a reason for you to blackmail him!"

"Didn't we gather some bamboo shoots for you some time ago? What are you still making trouble for?"

The doctor also looked displeased: "Second Sister Ye, why did you come here to make trouble without asking clearly? I think you should take care of this child. He is causing trouble everywhere and lying all day long."

Ye Sanshu said loudly: "You are addicted to extortion, right? You want money from everyone you catch? Who said just now that if we raise chickens, we should compensate you with ten eggs? Now you are pretending to be deaf and dumb and keeping silent."

Baoshan became even more anxious when he heard what Ye Sanshu said: "Mom, I didn't steal their eggs. I really didn't lie this time. I really didn't steal them."

Ye Cuihua was so angry that she slapped him in the face: "You didn't lie this time, but when did you lie? How long are you going to lie to me and your grandma? I'll beat you to death if you don't learn your lesson."

Ye Cuihua dragged Baoshan away while beating and scolding him. Jiang Wan knew what Ye Cuihua was thinking. She was just afraid that he would be asked to pay for the eggs if he stayed. She was too lazy to expose her.

For a child like Baoshan, the only ones who will suffer are Ye Erpo and Ye Cuihua.

Jiang Wan looked at Grandma Ye who was still sitting there motionless: "Are you planning to sit here and compensate me for the eggs?"

Hearing this, Ye Erpo stood up and left without hesitation.

Just as Jiang Wan was about to enter the house, she heard Baoshan's frightened voice.

"Baoshan!" Grandma Ye stumbled over and said, "How is Baoshan, Ah Hua, what happened to Baoshan?"

Ye Cuihua's cries came from a distance: "Mother, Baoshan was bitten by a snake, mother, please come and save Baoshan."

Ye Sanshu spat fiercely: "You deserve it."

Ye Erhai looked at Jiang Wan with some concern: "Mom, could this be the golden crown snake from the mountain?"

Due to the geographical location of Lotus Village, snakes, rats, insects and ants often visit their village.

Jiang Wan pretended to touch his pocket, but actually bought a few packets of medicine from the mall and handed them to his brothers: "Take this."

"it is good."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." A villager ran over breathlessly: "Baoshan was bitten by a snake..."

Ye Erhai interrupted the villager: "Isn't the doctor there?" The villager looked embarrassed: "I don't know either. The head of the village asked me to come here."

Jiang Wan didn't care. After all, every household would store some herbs to drive away poisonous snakes: "Let's go over and take a look."

Ye Erpo is annoying, but we can't just watch Baoshan die like that.

The doctor was bleeding Baoshan at the moment. When he saw Jiang Wan coming over, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law of the Ye family, do you have any snake medicine?"

The doctor had already cut open Baoshan's trouser legs. Jiang Wan was shocked to see that his legs were swollen like big buns.

Gu Xiaohui quickly covered Ye Xiaofang's eyes: "What kind of snake is this? So poisonous?"

Ye Cuihua hugged Baoshan and cried heart-wrenchingly.

The village head had an unhappy expression on his face: "This must be a golden crown snake. We really let this beast run into the village."

Jiang Wan threw a bottle of ointment to the doctor: "Apply it to Baoshan first."

Then he hurriedly asked, "Li Zheng, did you find anything?"

The head of the village had an extremely grim expression on his face: "We all saw it, it really is a golden snake!"

"This snake has become a spirit." A villager's hands were shaking as he held the long stick.

The village head took a deep breath and said, "It must be more than ten feet long. It's really huge! It passed by us in a flash."

Before she finished her words, Jiang Wan heard a slight rustling sound coming from the bushes. She immediately raised her hand to stop the headman and stared at the bushes behind him.

"Mom..." Ye Sanshu was about to say something when he was stopped by Jiang Wan's eyes.

At this moment, a golden object suddenly jumped out of the bushes. Jiang Wan immediately raised his hand and sleeve arrows flew out one after another, brushing past Li Zheng's face with a few whooshes, followed by a snap.

Jiang Wan rushed over, snatched the long stick from the headman's hand, and threw it into the bushes.

The stick hit the golden crown snake that fell into the grass quickly and hard.

The village head finally reacted and shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Come on!"

A group of villagers gathered around with wooden sticks and beat the golden crown snake with all their might.

Not long after, the snake stopped struggling. Jiang Wan was worried, so he took another closer look, picked up a stone nearby and hit the golden crown snake hard several times, flattening its head before he stopped.

Seeing that the golden crown snake's head was smashed, the villagers were still terrified: "Is this snake dead?"

"Probably dead."

"Your head is smashed, but you're still not dead?"

The village head was also a little frightened. If Jiang Wan had not acted in time, he might be the one lying here now.

"Ye Jiang, thank you, you really saved my life." The village head looked at the golden crown snake that was smashed to death, feeling deeply moved.

Ye Erhai and his brothers were dumbfounded. Their mother had become much gentler in recent days, and they had forgotten how fierce she was before.

Jiang Wan asked, "No one was bitten by a snake, right?"

"no!"

The village head heaved a sigh of relief: "This scourge has finally been eliminated! The previous village head said that as long as the golden snake is killed, the other golden crown snakes will not live long. I hope so. These golden crown snakes have been rampant in Lotus Village for too long."

Jiang Wan said, "Village Chief, when you guys go on patrol these days, it's best to bring some medicine that can repel insects and snakes, at least it will be safer."

The head of the village nodded and said, "Of course we have to be more cautious. If these snakes are really dead, we have to burn the bodies. We can't let other people be bitten to death by these poisonous snakes."
