Chapter 780 Not letting go——2
The remaining members of the Lin family looked at the python which was lying on the floor of the kitchen in a daze.
Shen Junxi was very cautious, he was afraid that the python might be still alive since the wounds on his body did not look too serious which was why he immediately took out his butchering knife and then chopped the head of the python swiftly and efficiently, making sure that there was no chance for it to revive.
" Big brother, where did you get such a big python? We have never seen something like this in our village did we?" They have lived in the small village for a long time, and there were mountains and cliffs around that village as well, they also saw wolves and bears walking around in those mountains but they have never seen such a dangerous thing before, what kind of mutation caused such a big snake to appear?
The snake's body was as large as that of two adult muscular arms, its length was more than a hundred feet and one could see that its body was plump and its scales were shiny.
Though its stomach was flat, its body was so thick which showed that it had a good diet on a daily basis.
" You are right, it really is too big!" Headmaster Yuan gasped when he came to see the excitement, he was a scholar and had never seen something like this before and now that he was watching this sight in front of him, he was truly shocked!
Su Wan who came down upon hearing the hissing voices, looked at the big python and turned to look at her two husbands with a narrowed pair of eyes, she wanted to see how these two were going to explain what happened in the mountain.
Lin Jing and Lin Chen carefully avoided her gaze but they also knew that they could not avoid retelling the story which was why they took turns one by one as they relayed what happened in the mountains and how they found this python.
Once they were finished Madam Lin could not help but rush ahead and smack Lin Jing and Lin Chen a few times on their arms.
" You two are already so old, what was the need to go to the mountain of a place where you don't even know the way around? What if…" she knew that her sons went to grab some game for Su Wan and the family but this was too dangerous! They were in a new place and these two did not even know their way around the mountains, in case something dangerous popped out, what would they have done?
They were lucky that they caught this python on time and it was not too fierce because they took it by surprise but still!
" Your wife is pregnant, she is going to give birth to a child for you all soon, stop being so reckless! You are no longer bachelors who do not have anyone to answer to, what are you even thinking?" Madam Lin was very displeased, Su Wan's pregnancy was slowly advancing and in another three or two months she will be giving birth to a child for their family and yet these sons of hers were still as reckless as ever.
" Okay, Okay, don't be angry with them," seeing that his wife was really angry, Father Lin tried to calm her down. " They know that they were in the wrong."
It was not that he or his wife was blaming them but seeing such a big python scared the living daylights out of them, this snake was as big as two human beings lying one after another, if it had attacked either Lin Jing or Lin Chen, then the consequences would have been dire!
Lin Jing also knew that he was in the wrong, which was why he did not say anything against his mother he just looked at the python with a helpless look on his face and did not know what to say, how was it possible that the mountain had such a fierce beast hiding inside it and no one knew?
Su Wan on the other hand looked at the python like it was her enemy, with a smile she raised a knife in her hand and then said, " Its a good thing that you caught it, from the looks of it, it must be thousand catties, python meat is warm and very delicious. As long as we take care of it properly we will be able to enjoy a good treat!"
When the others heard Su Wan's words they were surprised, though they did bring the python with them thinking that they will be able to eat it, now that they were looking at the ugly thing they could not summon their appetites.
But this had nothing to do with Su Wan, this thing tried to eat her husbands just now, it was only perfect that she chopped it up and cooked it in hot water!
With that she turned to Lin Yan and asked him to bring the python to the kitchen, she was going to take very good care of this big beast.
Seeing the python getting dragged by Lin Yan, Lin Chen still felt a lingering fear in his heart that thing was just behind him, if he was anymore unlucky then instead of eating the python, he would be the one who would have become a meal.
" You know what?" As he remembered about the incidents from the mountain, he turned to look at his brothers and then said in a soft yet excited voice, " I was talking about the names which we picked up for our child when that thing sneaked up behind us… looks like our child is very lucky for her daddies, look just the mere mention of her name caused such a big calamity to be diverted."
Lin Chen did not know whether the child was a daughter or son but because they saved his life by their luck, he was willing to dote on them the most already!
