章 58: Chapter 53 Yongzhou Snake Catcher Ji Yang (6th Update)

```

In the wilds of Yongzhou, a peculiar snake is found: black in body with white markings, a touch of its brush against plants and trees spells death; when it bites a man, no one can fend it off. Yet, if caught and cured as bait, it can cure severe influenza, convulsions, fistulas, flesh decay, and kill intestinal parasites.

Chilian County of Yongzhou.

A small village below.

"Brother Ji, off to catch snakes in the mountains again?"

"Hmm, Brother Liu, isn't your wife about to give birth? Wait till I return, and I'll bring a snake to your house to nourish her, so she gives birth to a healthy, chubby boy."

"How can I accept that? You go through so much trouble to catch those snakes; I couldn't possibly take them."

"Nothing of the sort. If it weren't for Brother Li, I would've died long ago. Besides, I might not even catch any. If I don't, Brother Li, please don't blame me."
