After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

All the gold and silver treasures in the snake’s nest were stolen.

This included the golden sword studded with precious stones on the sword clock made by Wan Zhong, the gold spoon and jade plate used by Wan Zhong to eat and make soup, and even the gold hollow crystal jar holding smoked fish, shrimp, and crab was missing.

This situation really fulfilled the old saying that thieves never leave empty-handed; not even a single gold coin was left.

Wan Zhong lifted up the portrait of Xuan Ming that had fallen on the ground. After discovering that all the gold trimmings on the frame had been peeled off, he could no longer hold back and cursed the first curse word in his life.

“Damn it! Those fucking thieves!”

Wan Zhong heard Xuan Ming said that this deserted island was especially given to him by the deity who hoped for him to overcome the heavenly tribulation.

There were many restrictions here. For hundreds of years, Xuan Ming had not been able to get out, and outsiders had not been able to get in. Although there were countless mythical beasts on the island, they were not enlightened and respected Xuan Ming as the top of food rank. Not to mention there were not even mosquitoes or ants in the snake’s nest for thousands of miles. Even if a blind person broke in, wouldn’t it be a good idea to steal the snake’s skin to enhance power? Why steal a pile of gold they couldn’t eat or drink.

Wan Zhong could probably guess who did this. From the look on Xuan Ming’s face, he probably knew something.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Wan Zhong picked up the smoked fish, shrimps, and crabs that fell on the ground, blew on them, and put them into the chicken skin bag. Seeing Xuan Ming didn’t say a word, just stood there blankly, Wan Zhong touched his body and handed it the golden dagger pinned to his waist. He comforted dryly, “It doesn’t matter, we still have this.”

Xuan Ming’s eyes were empty, as if it had lost its colors, he seemed to have lost half of his soul.

Wan Zhong didn’t know how to comfort. After all, the gold belonged to Xuan Ming, and the thief who stole the gold was likely to have a close relationship with Xuan Ming. It was not convenient for an outsider to intervene, and it was inappropriate to say anything.

And Xuan Ming didn’t need comfort. He transformed into a black snake, rolled up the mirror, and entered the pool, as if he wanted to be a snake in peace.

“… I will be outside.” Wan Zhong placed the dagger by the pool and left the cave to leave space for it.

.

He was very hungry and sleepy when he was on the road just now, so he thought he would take a shower and eat something before he could have a good sleep. But now he really had no thoughts.

Wan Zhong put the eggs into the warehouse in the cave. When he saw the lake was quiet, he sighed softly and went out to farm.

All the hoeing tools were stolen, but fortunately the land had already been plowed, so Wan Zhong didn’t use any special effort. Except for the onions, which needed to be dug deeper, other plants could be dug into shallow holes by hand and buried them in.

Moreover, the land here was fertile and there were no pests. He would water the seedlings at night, it depended on them whether they could survive and grown or not.

After the mountains of treasure were removed from the snake’s nest, the already open space became even larger.

Wan Zhong’s echoed even after taking a few steps, and once the sun went down it became even darker and eerie, which was very strange for Wan Zhong, who used to being illuminated by night pearls.

Although it was spring now, it was still very cold in the morning and evening. Especially today, it was extremely cold.

Xuan Ming also knew that Wan Zhong was afraid of the cold, so he did not let him dismantle the stove and windproof wall after winter. By the way, he also kept the warehouse at the entrance of the cave that was used to store winter food and firewood.

Wan Zhong didn’t say it, but in fact, he kept Xuan Ming’s kindness to him in his heart. Although it still couldn’t offset some of his bad behavior in the past.

Wan Zhong lit a fire, but because the black snake in the pool never came out, he had no appetite to eat. After boiling some hot water in a stone pot, he used the fire in the stove to make two torches from hardwood trees and inserted them into the windbreak wall made of black soil.

They were very flame-resistant and quite bright.

.

When he woke up at dusk in the morning, the torches were not even half burned and there was almost no smoke.

He casually covered the torch with the snake skin and extinguished the fire. He was sticky and wanted to take a bath, but later he realized that the weird guy who stole the gold didn’t even let go of his bathtub.

The conditions suddenly became difficult, and those difficulties that should have been overcome long ago were long overdue.

Wan Zhong used a stone cooking pot to heat water, sprinkled plant ash and crushed pine needles into it, and made a simple pot of antibacterial water.

Even though it was a bit irritating to be used for brushing teeth.

He washed his hair and wiped his body, but the cleaning intensity was not enough.

But Wan Zhong was quite satisfied. At least the water smelled good and had a certain bactericidal effect.

But even though he was naked, the black snake still didn’t come out. It seemed that the loss of gold really hit him hard, and he actually didn’t try to eat the steaming tofu.

Wan Zhong wrapped the snake skin around his body and wanted to crave on the gold brick -oh~ the gold brick used as a calendar was also stolen. He really wanted to praise a certain thief for his eight generations of ancestors!

Wan Zhong was very lucky that the sword bell was made of stone; otherwise, if it was from real gold, the thief wouldn’t let it go too.

He carved the word “spring” at two time points: 7:00 in the morning and 17:30 in the evening. At this point, he had finally collected the approximate sunrise and sunset times for the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn. As for winter, that didn’t matter.

Wan Zhong carved a series of numbers on the rock behind the sword clock – [27].8.

This meant that he had been on this desert island for 27 months and 8 days, but this number was not accurate. Because during the days when he spent time with Xuan Ming on his estrus period and spent the winter in the cave, he had lost the concept of time.
