Just as he was about to lift his feet to leave, a black snake as thick as a wooden stake suddenly emerged from behind a ginkgo tree. The high-spirited triangular snake head stood straight up, and the bright red snake stretched out twitched back and forth in the air.

Seeing the terrifying black snake, Su Mumu was so frightened that she froze on the spot and did not dare to move.

The black snake stared with a pair of small eyes, staring viciously at Su Mumu who was standing within the attack range.

The black snake slowly tilted its head back, ready to strangle Su Mumu at any time. Tragically foreseeing the coming fate, Su Mumu sighed and closed her eyes.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly rushed towards him and fought with the black snake. However, after a few rounds, the black snake, who had acted like the king of the forest before, was quickly defeated and wanted to escape, but was stopped by the leopard.

He pounced forward, biting down seven inches, twisting and rolling back and forth.

Not long after, the black snake entangled the leopard's body and gradually became limp, and died motionless under its sharp claws.

"Baby, why is it you?"

Seeing clearly that the leopard with the black snake in its mouth was actually the leopard that she depended on in the valley, Su Mumu happily stepped forward to hug her, and asked her face to face affectionately.

"Baby, how could it be you?"

The leopard also raised its upper body happily, put its two front paws on Su Mumu's shoulders, hugged Su Mumu's neck, and rubbed it with its furry face.

After hugging each other affectionately for a long time, Su Mumu suddenly realized that since the leopard was here, who would lead the leopard here to rescue her? Especially the leopard seemed docile, but it was

It is not something that ordinary people can tame. Even Jiying, who is always guarding secretly every day, can only come within three feet of the leopard. So, could it be...Su Mumu didn't dare to speculate further.

He hurriedly poured out the wild fruits and mushrooms from the basket on his back and put the dead snake into the basket on his back. The huge snake body immediately filled up the space in the basket on his back.

After picking up some wild fruits and mushrooms in her front pocket, Su Mumu led the leopard down the mountain in a hurry.

When they arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, the leopard reluctantly circled Su Mumu three times, jumped lightly, and ran back to the mountain.

Suspicion suddenly arose, and after looking around for a while, Su Mumu turned back to the Taoist temple and closed the door again.

"Good girl, what did you pick?"

The old woman who heard the commotion hurriedly stepped forward to get a broken basin and took the wild fruits and mushrooms that Su Mumu had carried.

Su Mumu shook her clothes and pointed at the basket behind her.

"Master Tai can eat meat again today. Let's save this big snake first, and we'll have roasted snake meat later."

She glanced into the basket behind Su Mumu. The old woman was so frightened that she took a few steps back and almost threw the broken basin in her hand. She pointed at the dead snake and screamed.

"This is the snake king. If you kill it, you will be punished."

Su Mumu laughed twice after hearing this.

"Master is a person of faith, how can he be confused by such vulgar rumors?" After thinking about it, Su Mumu said with a smile. "Since Master is afraid of offending the Snake King, why not just eat these wild fruits and mushrooms? It's a sin."

It’s up to me and my master to take care of it.”

I originally planned to get more food and prepare well before setting off on the road, but I had to provide the old woman with a mouth that could eat. I didn't know how long it would take to make the trip. Now that I heard what the old woman said, it seemed to suit Su Mumu's wishes.

Unfortunately, as soon as Su Mumu finished speaking, the greedy old woman immediately shook her head.

"Pindao has always been merciful. How can we let the two benefactors shoulder the responsibility? Naturally, Pindao will share a share of the blame, no, half of the blame. I also ask the girl to prepare now. Pindao will be freed immediately after his salvation.

past."

After saying that, he put the broken basin in his hand into Su Mumu's arms.

Su Mumu took it, and the old woman immediately turned around and ran to the main hall, knelt down in front of the statue of Sanqing and started to recite.

Su Mumu, who was passing by the main hall, looked over the old woman's white head and looked at the dilapidated statue with a majestic face, as if watching a light comedy, smiled slightly, and walked to the backyard kitchen.

"Disciple, are you back?"

It can be said that the White Bone Medical Fairy's ears are getting stronger and stronger. As soon as Su Mumu arrived in the backyard, the White Bone Medical Fairy sitting under the eaves of the Zen house heard the sound.

"Yes, Master."

When he came to the well, he washed some wild fruits and put them in the hands of the White-bone Medical Fairy. The White-bone Medical Fairy fumbled and took them, ate them, and asked again.

"Why does it smell like blood?"

No way, the nose has become so sharp? Su Mumu hesitated for a moment and replied.

"No."

After sniffing it carefully, the White Bone Medical Immortal shook his head in disbelief.

"No, it definitely smells of blood."

The test failed, and Su Mumu chuckled.

"Master's nose is smarter than a dog's nose."

Hearing Su Mumu's relaxed conversation and laughter, the White Bone Medical Immortal cheered.

"We won't have meat to eat again, right?"

It had only been a day since they left the palace, but the two of them seemed to have been starving for a long time, wishing they had big fish and meat to fill their bellies with every meal.

"Of course...it's snake meat."

He happily stood up and tapped the ground with his blind stick, and came to Su Mumu. The White Bone Medical Fairy followed the guidance and went to the well.

"Disciple, as far as my teacher knows, you were originally the daughter of the Su family, and then you rose to prominence and married the prince, and now you are the mother of a country. Why do you not even chop wood for cooking, or even collect mountain products and catch game?

Is it possible? As a teacher, the more you come into contact with your disciple, the more strange it becomes."

While groping for hold of the cold snake body, he chatted with Su Mumu. Maybe he had been alone for a long time, and the White Bone Medical Fairy seemed to have become a chatterbox.

After listening to the Bone Doctor's words, Su Mumu smiled and went to the kitchen to find a rusty kitchen knife and returned to the well.

Hang the black snake on a nearby tree, cut it open from top to bottom with a knife, lift the skin off the tail, and remove the internal organs.

Cut off the snake meat piece by piece and wash it in a basin.

The white-bone medical fairy waiting by the basin touched the slippery snake meat with his hands and cleaned it piece by piece. Su Mumu disposed of the garbage, packed the snake skin and internal organs in the trash can, and went outside the Taoist temple and walked to the Taoist temple.

I found a place far away to bury it.

Back at the Taoist temple, the old woman had lit firewood and was boiling water. She saw Su Mumu coming in and pointing at the mountain-like snake meat in the basin.

"Good girl, we can't eat this meat, so we might as well cut it up and dry it into dried meat."

Not agreeing with drying the meat and preserving it, Su Mumu took some firewood to the courtyard, lit it directly and set up a grill, skewered the snake meat and grilled it. The aroma suddenly overflowed, making the white-bone medical fairy and the old woman devour it frequently.

Drooling.

While Su Mumu roasted the meat for the two of them to share, she added firewood and slowly roasted most of the snake meat into dried meat. This method of easy preservation and delicious taste made the old woman eat deliciously.
