Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 577 - 229: Angered the Snake God?

...

Great Wilderness Border Village.

Xu Family.

At this moment, Xu Ran closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged in the center of the courtyard. On the surface, he appeared very calm, but in reality, he was somewhat nervous inside.

"It’s already been a day since I turned a year old. Why hasn’t the poisonous snake massacre come as promised?" Xu Ran thought to himself.

"Could it be that the effect of my Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant is too strong, and it unknowingly passed by?"

"Impossible." He immediately denied his own guess.

"If it was completed, there would definitely be a reminder, something must have gone wrong elsewhere."

Just after he finished speaking, sounds of shouting came from outside the door.

"Come quickly, there’s a madman at the village entrance!!"

Madman? Something lively to watch?

Upon hearing this news, Lian Ji immediately came out of the room and rushed straight to the village entrance. After all, gossip is human nature.

"A madman? Could it be related to the one-year-old event?" Xu Ran speculated.

This timing was a bit sensitive. After pondering for a while, Xu Ran also went out.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, he saw a person in rags lying on the ground, exuding a stench, with tears continually streaming from his eyes, muttering something nonstop.

Lian Ji, who was watching the commotion, turned her head and saw her son, patting her own head, "Oh, Xiao Ran, how did I forget you?"

"Mother, what are you watching? I want to see too."

"Alright, Mother will pick you up now."

Leaning over his head, Xu Ran saw the madman.

"Mother, what is he saying? I can’t hear." Xu Ran said.

Lian Ji replied, "Mother can’t hear either, let me get closer."

Soon, Lian Ji squeezed to the front, only then did she understand what this madman was saying.

"In one night, they all died, haha, all died, haha!!!"

"It’s all our fault for angering the Snake God, and thus the punishment fell upon Stone Village."

Snake God!!! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xu Ran immediately caught the keyword.

"It really is related to the one-year-old event," Xu Ran thought, "It seems the event has already happened, it’s just not Great Wilderness Border Village’s turn yet."

...

Rooster Village.

Located just ten miles away from Stone Village, it’s named so because the village specializes in raising chickens.

Rooster Village and Stone Village have a symbiotic relationship.

Stone Village sells its grain to Rooster Village, and Rooster Village sells its surplus chickens to them at a low price.

At this moment, a madman also appeared at the entrance of Rooster Village.

As the village chief, Zhang Hao looked at this madman and said, "I think I’ve seen this person before."

"Chief, he is a villager from Stone Village," someone reminded him.

"Oh!" Zhang Hao remembered, "No wonder he looked familiar."

Zhang Hao had previously been to Stone Village and had seen all the villagers there, so he had an impression.

"What happened?" Zhang Hao asked, "Why have the villagers from Stone Village gone mad?"

The villagers nearby shook their heads, saying, "Not sure, he’s been saying something about the village being gone, killed by the Snake God."

"Snake God? What Snake God?" Zhang Hao asked.

"We don’t know!"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao said, "Take care of him properly, and send him back to Stone Village tomorrow morning to prevent them from worrying."

The villagers of Rooster Village wanted to help him up and settle him down.

Who would have thought that when someone touched the madman, he suddenly jumped up, pointing at the village chief Zhang Hao and said, "As the village chief, knowing the Snake God is coming, why didn’t you let the villagers leave? Do you want all the villagers to die with you?"

The voice was so loud, it startled everyone.

"You brat, what are you talking about? This is our village chief."

"Village chief? Hahaha!!!" It seemed the madman heard a keyword, he laughed wildly, not lowering his hand pointing at Zhang Hao.

"It’s the village chief, it was he who had us sleep in the ancestral hall, and as a result, we were all killed by the Snake God, it’s the village chief who harmed us."

"If you don’t leave, you will also be harmed by your own village chief!!"

Zhang Hao understood these words, his brows furrowed, but he said nothing, instead, a villager nearby spoke.

"What are you saying, our village chief was thinking of taking good care of you, sending you back to Stone Village tomorrow, you’re treating his kindness as donkey’s liver and lungs."

"Going back to Stone Village!!" Upon hearing this, the madman jumped up, "I won’t go back, if I go back, the Snake God will curse me, I won’t go back, I won’t go back!!!"

Saying this, he suddenly exerted force, breaking free from those holding him, and ran out of the village, soon disappearing from sight.

This left the villagers watching from Rooster Village stunned.

"This madman, suddenly appearing and then suddenly leaving, what’s he going crazy about?" someone said.

"I remember, this person from Stone Village was quite spirited, how did he end up like this so soon after we last saw him?"

"Yeah, and he could suddenly break away from several people holding him, how did he become like this?"

"Chief, should we mention this to the people from Stone Village tomorrow?" someone asked.

"Mm." Zhang Hao said, "Tomorrow, arrange for the month’s chickens to be sent to Stone Village, and by the way, tell them about this incident, let them pay attention."

With that, Zhang Hao shook his sleeves and went back.

The madman left, the village chief also left, so there was no more commotion to watch, each villager returned to their own home.

That night.

The sound of crickets was incessant, even though Rooster Village lived by raising chickens, the number of crickets was still countless.

At night, the villagers of Rooster Village were all immersed in dreams, completely forgetting what had happened at the village entrance in the evening.

Chicken coop.

In Rooster Village, every household had a chicken coop, each containing at least a hundred chickens. These chickens were their lifeline, the livelihood of their entire family depended on them.
