Watching these guys fussing around, I really have some reluctance to part with them, but I know that I will have to leave them for a while again. The glasses snake has been with me the longest.

  It seemed to have seen through my concerns and stopped fooling around. It climbed beside me and asked, "Ji Chen, you seem unhappy, what's wrong?"

  I looked at them, but didn't know how to tell them, because I was afraid that if I said anything, they would definitely want to follow me. After thinking for a moment, I said: "I still have something to do outside, you guys just stay home, okay?"

  "No way!"

  As soon as I finished speaking, the three of them stared at me simultaneously and shook their heads. I let out a bitter laugh. This time, I was thinking of returning to the forest and finding a way to help the leopards because of that guy Yamamoto. After he went back to ask his boss for support, he would definitely go to that forest first thing.

  But if those three snakes follow him, I really can't rest assured. I've already experienced Yamamoto's skills, and if they go, it's simply sending them to their deaths.

  They wanted to follow, so I had no choice but to tell the truth. I explained to them for a long time, but they wouldn't listen, saying that they would go no matter what, and weren't afraid of danger.

  In the end, I had no choice but to tell them. My parents also need them for protection, and if we all leave, they will be lonely and in danger. Of course, I told them that my parents are still their benefactors.

  After hearing me say that, Xiaobai actually thinks it's reasonable because she has seen people coming to my house to make trouble before, and she has been with my parents for so long. She really developed feelings for them.

  When I saw the little white move, I told them again. This time if they also went, the target was too big, and it might even increase my danger. They listened to me and agreed to stay here.

  But I wasn't in a hurry about this, because if Yamamoto returned to the island country, it would definitely take more than one or two days. During this time, we were all together with my parents, and after adding another snake, my parents not only didn't say anything, but also felt very happy, saying that from now on, they wouldn't have to raise children anymore, just these snakes accompanying them would be enough.

  Watching them get along harmoniously, I also felt deeply relieved. At night, I quietly slipped out and, with the experience of last time, it was actually quite easy to climb onto the car. After a series of transfers, I soon arrived at the banks of that big river.

  As I was thinking of finding a boat to cross the river, I suddenly saw a dog sitting on the edge of its own boat in the distance, dozing off. My heart leapt with joy and I hurriedly climbed over.

  Then he arched his back, and the dog thought there was a guest coming on board, so he immediately raised his head. However, when he looked around, there was no one beside him, and he thought it was just an illusion earlier. He was about to close his eyes again, but suddenly caught sight of me on the ground, and let out a "wow!" The dog tumbled over in the hold, covered in mud and blood.

  But the next moment it saw me clearly and asked in doubt: "Eh, Big Brother Snake, are you the one who rode on my boat last time?"

  He seemed to recognize me, so I nodded immediately. This guy knew I could understand human language anyway. Seeing me nod, he finally stood up and said: "Ah, Snake brother, you really scared me just now. By the way, how did you come back? Are you going to cross the river again?"

  He saw that I wanted to cross the river and he knew me before, so he said directly: "That's okay, this trip didn't have any business anyway, I'll just take Snake Big Brother across!"

  When I heard him say that, it actually made me feel a bit embarrassed. Now I'm just a snake, and I don't have any money to give him either. It's like I'm taking advantage of his kindness.

  He didn't think much of it, just felt that the snake was spiritual and considered it a good omen. The boat quickly reached the center of the river, I lay bored on the side of the boat, watching the water flow, while listening to Dogzi's nagging.

  Maybe the dog really took me as a confidant, he said: "I've lived in this village for 30 years, and the villagers all know that I'm an honest man. This life has no achievements, married a wife but didn't give birth to a child, the villagers all say it's a disease, need treatment!"

  He said to this point, as if mentioning something unpleasant, sighed and continued: "Alas, I also know about this matter, but recently there was a murder in the forest, so I don't dare go hunting again. Let's just catch some fish instead. The water is too deep, and there's no income. What can I use to treat it? Haha, look at me, what did I tell you? Don't mind me, Snake Big Brother!"

  The dog finished speaking and suddenly reacted, realizing that he was talking to a snake, so he immediately shut his mouth. However, after hearing what he said, I felt quite sympathetic towards him.

  Living next to this forest, with a big river in between, the conditions are self-evident. In the past, it might have been possible to go into the mountains and hunt some wild beasts to exchange for some small change, but since that last incident, no one dares to go up there anymore. It's said that there are ferocious wild beasts that bite people, after all, a life is more important than money.

  This is really putting these people in a difficult position. Their other income relies on farming and such, this kind of life is not something that city people can relate to.

  The boat docked quickly, and the dog was still enthusiastically greeting me, saying that he still wanted to take a look at the other shore, just in case there were any guests who could be pulled over for another trip. If I needed to cross the river again, I could just wait here for him.

  I think Dogzi is actually a pretty good person, although I'm just a snake, he didn't look down on me, instead he was very enthusiastic. When I saw him sailing the boat back, I also crawled onto the shore.

  I was going to go into the woods to find those two, but now I think it's not necessary, and I don't want to interfere with their lives. I'll just wait here for that Yamamoto guy to come over.

  See if there's a way to stop them, because even if we go tell them, they probably won't be willing to leave that cave, and instead will fight to the death with Yamamoto.

  It's better for me to take care of it myself, this is the only way they can pass through the forest, and the weeds here are very deep. When the time comes to fight them, I will have the upper hand. The only thing I don't know is when they will come over.

  At this time, I can only wait here, and when I'm bored, I'll go into the water to catch some fish or something.

  However, something has changed in the Liu family. At this time, Old Man Liu is sitting on the sofa, and he who should be furious is instead very calm.

  Turning to a middle-aged man beside him, he said: "Shanhe, have you made up your mind this time? What if something goes wrong and those things of yours are discovered by someone with ulterior motives? At that time, our Liu family will be truly finished."

  "Dad, things have come to this point now. If I don't do it this way, I'm afraid my position will also be stepped down sooner or later." said the middle-aged man next to Mr. Liu.

  This middle-aged man is the son of Old Master Liu, named Liu Shanhe, and also the father of Liu Zhengzhong. He has a relatively high position in the military, and it was he who secretly manipulated the troops last time.

  But since then, some people with ulterior motives have taken notice of him and are now using this matter to put pressure on the Liu family. So Mr. Liu was initially furious, but when he saw his son suddenly return and reveal his plan, he managed to suppress his anger.

  The old man let out a long sigh and said, "I'm also getting old, I don't understand your affairs too much, I don't know if what you're doing is right or wrong, but remember, catching snakes isn't a big deal, but if that thing of yours gets exposed, I'll be fine, I'm old, but you're still young."

  "Dad, don't worry about it, I'll take care of this matter cleanly, no one will be able to find out, just watch!" Liusanhe interrupted his father's words.

  Lao Laiye seemed tired too, he looked at Liu Shanhe deeply and said: "Alright, you decide this matter yourself, I'm going to rest first!"

  Liu Shanhe stood up, his eyes shining brightly, and then walked outwards.

  But I've been waiting here for a whole day and haven't seen Yamamoto bring anyone over, of course, I know he won't give up, so I can only continue to wait.

  The sky was getting dark, and at this time the dog also brought the boat over from the opposite side, preparing to dock and go home. Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the dog: "Oh my god, save me!"
