Before the End of the World: I Became a Loophole in Heaven

Seeing the motionless snake body at this moment, Zhang Bo moved forward and found that the snake's belly was still bulging. He cut it open with a small knife and found that it was not an undigested toad, but soft snake eggs.

This is a pregnant female snake.

At that time, Zhang Bo felt pity for the snake and wrapped it in a tissue and buried it in the mud not far from the well.

After doing this, Uncle Zhang went home and forgot about it.

A snake swallowing a toad or an elephant is a good omen, that's what the older generation said, but no one has actually seen it and then cut off the snake's head.

If such a good thing really happened, all the snakes in the village would have died out long ago.

Uncle Zhang still plays cards with his friends.

Gradually, Uncle Zhang discovered that after that day, Gu Wei and his wife, who always lost money, began to win money. Uncle Zhang noticed that every time Gu Wei won money, he would touch the inner bag, and his intuition told Uncle Zhang that Gu Wei had a secret.

After leaving the card table that day, Zhang Bo followed Gu Wei as if possessed by a ghost. Outside Gu Wei's yard, he heard Gu Wei and his wife talking excitedly, saying that this thing was a real treasure.

What else doesn't Zhang Bo understand?

The person who chopped the snake that day was Gu Wei.

Gu Wei even started raising snakes and toads at home.

The chopped snake head was used for one day and then thrown away. The snake body was stewed and made into soup. The whole family drank fresh snake soup every night, saying that it was very nutritious.

Uncle Zhang could see the useless snake heads discarded at the backyard of Gu Wei's house. He wrapped up all the snake heads and buried them in the same place. Apart from this, he cursed inwardly that it was too evil, but there was nothing he could do to Gu Wei. From then on, as long as Gu Wei was around, Uncle Zhang never went to the card table, and gradually he quit playing cards.

Gu Wei killed too many snakes.

The land behind the wellhead has risen into a small hill.

Uncle Zhang would collect the used snake heads every four or five days. This time, after collecting the snake heads and looking at the raised hill, Uncle Zhang felt that what he did seemed to be in vain.

But what can I do?

Apart from calling him a beast, there was nothing he could do to Gu Wei.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you stay here? Don't you know how dangerous humans are?" Uncle Zhang said as he buried the snake. "There's no more room. This is the last time. I won't help you collect the bodies anymore... What's the point of me doing this?" Uncle Zhang buried the soil and stayed on the ground for a while, watching the chimneys of every household, with smoke floating towards the sky. Uncle Zhang watched the smoke slowly rise and finally merge into the sky. It was time for him to go home for dinner.

After that, Uncle Zhang did not go to Gu Wei's backyard to pick up the snakes every few days. Gu Wei's family won a lot of money by playing cards, but bad luck also followed.

First, the child in Gu Wei's family had a high fever and died. Then, all the children in the village had high fever and muttered about snakes when they were confused. It turned out that the snake god that Gu Wei killed every day was left in the backyard. When someone found it, he took it home and cooked it to make snake soup.

Snake is also known as earth dragon, and chicken is called phoenix. Drinking dragon and phoenix soup can warm the body. It is a delicacy in farmers' homes.

In the past, people had to go up the mountain and work hard to catch snakes to eat, but now they can just pick up delicious snakes in Gu Wei’s backyard, and no one said anything to Gu Wei.

For a while in the village, at dinner time, wisps of white smoke would come out of the chimneys, along with the smell of snake meat.
