Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

Yun Bing sat on the mat, bowed, and said, "We, the Sheng clan, were located a little further back. We only noticed the snakes when we heard the thunder, but before we started fighting, the snakes suddenly retreated."

The old grandmother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. It seems that the witch saint not only saved us but also Chi clan last night. I just don't know what's going on with Zhu clan."

"Are you okay, Anjing?" asked Bing.

"The wizard saint consumed too much energy and fainted again."

Seeing this, Yun Bing hurried to Yao Gu's bedside, his eyes full of concern. He touched Yao Gu's forehead and said, "It's so hot, why don't you help her take off her clothes?"

The old grandmother frowned and said, "Last time the witch saint got up, she looked for clothes. She seemed to hate not wearing clothes."

Yun Bing touched his head and said, "Is that so? But she fainted twice, and she got better slowly after taking off her clothes. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable in such a hot summer day?"

The grandmother's face froze, she hesitated, and asked, "Is that so? Are you sure?"

"Well, it's like this, I took it off both times."

"Well, why don't you help her take it off first and put the clothes next to her so she can find them when she wakes up."

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately tried to help Yao Gu take off her clothes, but after fumbling for a long time, they still didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Yun Bing, who was very familiar with the situation, went straight to untie the belt around Yao Gu's waist.

The unconscious Yao Gu naturally knew nothing about this, and she fell into a deep nightmare again.

This time, she defeated the snake demon and became the witch saint respected by the three tribes.

She taught them how to reclaim wasteland and plant crops; how to make nets and catch fish in the river; how to raise silkworms, weave beautiful cloth and cut beautiful clothes; and how to make bricks and tiles and build large tiled houses.

It is tiring to educate these people, but there is always someone by their side. His strong chest gives people a sense of security, even though he is just a mortal.

Later, they got married and received the blessings of everyone from the three tribes. They lived a beautiful and happy life.

Later, they had children, a big, chattering group of them.

The children would always gather around her and ask, "Mom, what's on the other side of the mountain?"

"There's nothing on the other side of the mountain!"

"We don't believe it. We want to go and see for ourselves."

"No, there is a big snake on the other side of the mountain..."

As soon as the Medicine Lady in the dream mentioned the big snake, a voice rang in her heart:

"Blood food, I want blood food, the blood food you promised me..."

The beautiful dream was shattered, and Yao Gu woke up with a scream, her forehead covered with sweat.

"Anjing, you're awake!" Yun Bing immediately came forward.

Yao Gu felt around her body and found that her clothes were gone, so she said, "I'm hungry. Find me something to eat."

"Everything is prepared for you, including pheasant meat, pheasant eggs, and fruits. What do you want to eat?" said Bing.

Next to him, there was a rough table with several kinds of food on it, and his hands were on the edge of the table, waiting for Yao Gu's answer.

"I want pheasant soup."

Yun Bing scratched his head and asked, "Don't you dislike pheasant soup? You refused to drink it last time!"

Yao Gu's face turned pale, her brows slightly furrowed, and she began to cough lightly.

"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Yun Bing ran outside.

Seeing Yun Bing leave, Yao Gu immediately put on her clothes and asked, "Grandma, have the snakes retreated? Has this happened before?"

In the round shed, the old grandmother rummaged around for a while, took out the half of Zhongyong, turned to a page and said:

"Our three tribes believe in two gods. One is the witch god who sent you here, and the other is the god of death, the Birthless Snake Mother. Every few years, the Birthless Snake Mother will let her army sweep across this land, purify the world of evil, and take away the creatures with impure souls."

"Purify the world of evil?" Yao Gu looked puzzled.

“Every time the snakes wreak havoc, some people die, but for many years afterwards, there will be good weather, lush vegetation and abundant water.

All living things will grow, and the tribe will be able to hunt for enough food so that no one will starve to death."

Medicine Aunt recalled the places she had walked through before. It was indeed very desolate and barren, so she said, "In that case, the snake disaster doesn't seem to be a bad thing."

"It's just that the next period of time will be difficult to endure. After all, many animals died at the hands of the snakes," said the grandmother.

Yao Gu was suddenly shocked and thought to herself, "Yes, animals are also blood food. That demon elder didn't say that humans must be sacrificed. He is a snake, so other creatures are just blood food in his eyes."

She smiled happily and asked, "Grandma, do you have rice and wheat here? I will teach you how to grow crops so that you don't have to rely on God all the time."

"Rice? Wheat? What is that?"

"Well, it's hard to describe, but it doesn't matter. We'll go out and look for it in a few days. Even if we don't have rice and wheat, corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes and the like will be fine."

The old grandmother was confused by what she heard. She didn't know why Yao Gu was suddenly in such a good mood, nor did she know what Yao Gu was talking about.

For some time afterwards, Yao Gu continued to recuperate in the tribe.

The most attentive one among them was Yun Bing. No matter what Yao Gu wanted to eat or what she needed, Yun Bing would try his best to satisfy her.

Yao Gu was an experienced person, so how could she not know what Yun Bing felt? However, she had been influenced by etiquette and morality since childhood, and the idea that a good woman should not serve two husbands was deeply rooted in her. She always felt guilty about Yun Bing's pursuit.

Whenever she thought of Qiu Yong, she felt that she was a bad woman, but if she was asked to blame Yun Bing, she seemed to find no reason.

After all, from the other person's perspective, what's wrong with truly liking someone!

In this dilemma, Yao Gu adopted the ostrich strategy. No matter how attentive you are, I will not look, listen or say anything.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed. On this evening, as soon as the sun set, singing rang out in the tribe, and countless men and women danced happily around the campfire.

In the round shed, Medicine Aunt heard the singing and was very curious. She asked, "Grandma, is today a special day?"

"Today..." The old grandmother counted on her fingers and said, "Today is a big day, the monthly mating day."

"Union? What are we celebrating? If it happens once a month, why didn't we have it last month?" Yao Gu frowned.

"There was a snake plague last month, so we were delayed. On this mating day, men from other tribes will come to our tribe. We will play games, sing and dance, and if a man is favored by a woman from our tribe, he can stay in the tribe and leave offspring."

When Yao Gu heard this, her brows furrowed slightly and she asked, "Where's Yun Bing? I haven't seen him this afternoon."

The old grandmother smiled and said, "How could he miss such a grand event? He must have gone to Youzhu Clan!"
