Xia Muxin lifted the snake's tail onto the cart while instructing Xia Xiaosong to help. She then went to pick up the head of the snake.
However, as she struggled to lift the head, she noticed that the Python had opened its eyes. Its gaze, filled with anger and red veins, startled her so much that she slipped and fell to the ground, letting out a terrified scream, "Ah..."
Songzi had already helped Summer Forest secure the firewood. Seeing his sister in such a distressed state, he felt a jolt of fear and rushed over to help her up. Just as he crouched down, the Python let out a roar at them, exhaling heavily.
Songzi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do; his hands trembled in mid-air as he tried to reach for Xia Muxin.
Wiping the sweat from her brow, Xia Muxin gritted her teeth and sat up. She kicked at the Python's head and shouted angrily, "You refuse to leave when I tell you to! Now that I've caught you, you act all wronged. Let me tell you, it’s fine if you scare me, but if you scare my family, I swear I'll chop you into pieces with a machete and cure your meat with salt!"
The Golden Python looked infinitely wronged, tears streaming down its face: You stole my wild chicken first, you shrew!
Seeing such a large snake looking at her with tear-filled eyes, Xia Muxin swallowed hard and anxiously ran her fingers through her hair. In her hometown, snakes were believed to have spirits, especially such a rare giant one.
"Muxin, quickly release this Serpent God! We can't afford to offend it!" Summer Forest approached and was so frightened that his legs trembled upon seeing the Python. Having lived in Daimiao Village for decades, he had never heard of such a beautiful and large snake in Daimiao Mountain; it had to be the Serpent God.
The Golden Python nodded eagerly yet pitifully: Yes, yes, I am the Serpent God. Please let me go!
"Dad, don’t believe in those baseless superstitions. What kind of god is this? If there were gods in this world, my grandma would have been sent straight to hell long ago. Songzi, you go back and tell Mom and Big Brother that we won’t be home for lunch. Dad, let’s head to Town and sell this snake as soon as possible."
"Muxin..."
"Sister..."
Summer Forest and Xia Xiaosong wanted to stop her, but they saw Xia Muxin directly bypassing them, pulling the cart rope and walking away on her own.
Summer Forest waved his hand at Xia Xiaosong, helplessly following after Xia Muxin. He was puzzled about why she suddenly got angry, but he silently took the coarse rope from her palm and pulled the cart step by step toward the town.
Along the way, they encountered several villagers returning from work. Seeing Summer Forest pulling a cart full of firewood, they kindly reminded him to be careful on the road.
Summer Forest awkwardly nodded in thanks.
"Mother, look at this fabric. How does it look? It's from Cousin-in-law. And this one, this one too."
Halfway there, they ran into You Clan and Zhou Guilian. Zhou Guilian was holding several pieces of fine fabric, excitedly talking to You Clan while gesturing to herself.
Xia Muxin silently used a branch to support Summer Forest from behind the cart, ignoring You Clan Mother and Daughter completely.
"Oh, little brat, I thought you had some skills. But aren't you just following around that useless father doing menial labor every day?"
