Chapter 351 Chapter 19 The Snake Dealer's Affair

Zhang Snake said seriously: "What crazy talk are you talking about? Snakes are snakes after all, they are cold-blooded; humans are humans after all, humans are warm-blooded. How can humans and snakes be combined? Don't say my son Now that I have been poisoned by the snake, my skin and throat have become bad, but even if I can’t find a wife, I will never spend my whole life with a snake!” The snake dealer was embarrassed by what Zhang Snakeman said, so he quickly distinguished: "I was just joking, why are you so serious? Forget it, let's see the snake. I got the snake and I want to go back early. This time the snake It’s not a restaurant or an erhu factory. I want to add a delicious snake meal to my niece’s wedding banquet. Haha, it’s also a wedding gift for my niece.”

Zhang Jiu heard in the next room that the snake dealer was going to bring the snakes he took over to the dining table tomorrow, so he was very impatient.But the footsteps he was looking forward to hadn't come yet.It's just that everything just happened to come together. "Zhang Snake, I have a question. I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" The snake dealer asked suddenly after taking two sips of tea. "What's the problem?" Zhang Snake asked. The snake dealer put down the teacup, took a deep breath, looked at Zhuyeqing circling in the woven bag, and said, "Why does this Zhuyeqing come to your house so often these past few years without harming anyone in your family?" ?If it wants to retaliate against you, your wife or son will definitely be bitten. Since it is not retaliating against you, why does it come to your house again and again? Zhang Snake, you have never thought about this question?"

Zhang Snake squinted his eyes to look at the green Zhuyeqing, and sighed: "Ah, actually, I also want to find out. But nothing strange happened at home, how do you ask me to know what this snake is thinking?" The snake dealer whispered: "Mr. Zhang Snake, could it be that this snake likes something in your house?" "Like the things in my house? Since I changed to catching snakes, my house is full of bamboo cages, snake hooks, woven bags and other tools for catching snakes. They usually don't have time to shy away when they see them. How dare they like these things? ?” Zhang Snake said while scanning the furnishings in the main room.The ones hanging from the beams, the ones placed in the corners, and the ones thrown under the table are all tools for catching snakes.The whole main room is like an interrogation room for snakes.It turned out that the tools for raising and playing with snakes had long since been discarded in that place.

The snake dealer also scanned for a week in the main room, and then said with a half-smile: "Mr. Zhang Snake, I'm not talking about these things, but the things in your house." There is something in the words of the snake dealer, but how does Zhang Snake, who doesn't know the inside story, know?Zhang Snake frowned and said, "Isn't there anything that snakes like in the back room? If I've been raising snakes for so many years, I don't even have a mouse in my house. So it's impossible for snakes to come to my house to hunt." The snake dealer laughed dryly, and said, "Snake Zhang, I can't praise your snake-catching skills, but why can't you turn your brain around? Let me tell you a story."

Zhang Snake pointed to the woven bag on the ground and said, "Didn't you say you were in a hurry to go back? Why do you still want to tell me a story? I'm not interested in hearing your story. After you pay the money, go back and prepare your snake feast." .Fortunately, I didn’t catch a poisonous snake today, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to prepare something for you for a while. Uh, you’re not busy, I still have things to do.” "What's the rush? No matter how anxious you are, why is your son's lifelong event so important?" the snake dealer said smugly. Zhang Snake said impatiently: "What is a lifelong event? Well, I'm afraid of you, why are you talking so much today? Well, you can talk." He waved his hand, showing displeasure on his face.

Seeing that he agreed, the snake dealer was overjoyed, smacked his lips, and said, "I've played with snakes before, but I'm not as good as you. I let go after playing for a while." "Oh?" Zhang Snake was very interested when he heard the snake dealer say that he had also played snakes himself.He moved around on the chair, straightened his posture, and was ready to listen carefully to what the snake dealer had to say about the past. "Then why didn't you play with snakes later?" Zhang Snake asked sideways. "Hey, it's not because I married the current woman!" Zhang Snake was surprised by the snake dealer's answer.Zhang Jiu, who was hiding next door and eavesdropping, also trembled.Zhang Sheren was eager to know the reason, so he hurriedly urged him.But Zhang Jiu next door had more thoughts in his mind than his father.

"You want to ask me, what does snake playing have to do with marrying a wife, right?" Before Zhang Snakeman asked, the snake dealer had expected it. "Hehe, no one believes it when I tell it, but my wife and I are very clear that it happened for real. Because I know it's hard for others to believe it, I never told anyone else." "What's the matter? So mysterious?" Zhang Snake asked while adding tea and water to the snake dealer's teacup. "I'm not afraid to tell you that before I married my current wife, I had an affair with a snake. I stopped playing snakes because of this." The snake dealer said bluntly.

"With the snake?" Zhang Snake put down his teacup and asked suspiciously. "Yes." The snake dealer picked up the full cup of tea and took a sip. "Shortly after I played the snake, a snake spirit came to me and said that I saved her life, and she wanted to thank me. I didn't believe it at first, thinking that my friend deliberately found a beautiful woman to deceive me, and deliberately let me Make a fool of yourself. But the snake spirit said that on a certain day in a certain year, on a certain mountain, I saw two snakes fighting fiercely on the road. When it was about to be bitten to death by the opponent, I was the one who had the upper hand. Once the snake catches it, it takes a life."

"I just like snakes that can fight." Zhang Snake said. "Yes, I just like that snake that can fight, and I let go of the other snake that was wounded because I didn't like it." The snake dealer said, "But the snake that escaped thought I was trying to save it. So she asked me to repay her kindness. The time, place, and the situation she said were the same as what I had encountered at the time. At that time, I went up the mountain alone, and no one else knew. Even if my friend wants to play me, he would not know about it.” Zhang Snake nodded. Zhang Jiu listened quietly in the next room.He vaguely felt that the snake dealer knew that he was eavesdropping, and that the snake dealer's original intention was to tell him, so it could be said that the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

"Then you agreed?" Zhang Snake asked.
