After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

Wan Zhong didn’t understand why the black snake wouldn’t allow him to take things into the snake’s nest.

But regardless of the reason, knowing the black snake’s wishes, Wan Zhong decided not to have any friction or disagreement over this trivial matter unrelated to life and death.

He wiped the sweat from his head, put down his package, picked up some dry branches and grass, and lit a fire on the cliff with the last light of the sun, preparing to roast the three-legged chicken overnight.

This way, even if left outside, it could be stored for a longer period.

While Wan Zhong was busy, the black snake had been lying quietly at the cave entrance as a backdrop. It only lent him a mirror when he was lighting the fire, and when he was rubbing his sore arms and cutting the meat of the three-legged chicken with some difficulty, it wrapped its tail around his waist.

“Handsome snake, you…”

Wan Zhong didn’t know what the black snake was going to do, thinking it wanted to play with him. Just as he was trying to coax the black snake not to cause trouble, the black snake took him away from the cliff and rolled out a golden sword from the hole.

It was the kind of long sword that everyone in martial arts TV series must have.

But obviously, the sword the black snake took out wasn’t the useless prop seen in TV series. When the scabbard was thrown off, Wan Zhong heard a faint, deafening buzzing sound, and the sharp sword light dazzled him so much that he could hardly open his eyes.

The black snake curled its tail around the hilt of the sword to create a beautiful sword dance in the air. The movements, not too complicated, worked well with the flexible snake tail, particularly pleasing to the eye and very neat.

It used the sword to scratch the three-legged chicken, as big as a calf, a few times as if cutting tofu, then put the sword back into its sheath and inserted it into a stone.

The whole process took only one minute, no more.

Wan Zhong stood there stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said in amazement: “Oh, handsome snake! You can actually do acrobatics!”

The black snake: “???”

.

It used its tail to push Wan Zhong forward, entangling him and waiting until the remaining sword energy dissipated before letting go.

The three-legged chicken still maintained its original appearance, with no visible traces of being cut. But when Wan Zhong lightly touched it, it collapsed like a toppling building, and the bones and flesh were shattered into equal parts of even size.

This really helped Wan Zhong a lot.

He happily found branches to pierce the flesh, occasionally praising the black snake: “Handsome snake, you are really amazing. You are truly the most capable snake I have ever seen. You are awesome! Look at your knife skills; how come you are so good? I can’t do it.”

The black snake held up its noble head, spat out snake tongue, swung its tail, and patted Wan Zhong’s butt to tell him not to feel inferior. Amidst his praises, it twisted the head off a big tree, placed it on the small fire by Wan Zhong, slapped it with its tail, and lit a bigger fire.

“!!!” Wan Zhong: “Wow~ Handsome snake is really awesome!”

The black snake twisted and swaggered its body. After taking the branch from Wan Zhong’s hand with its tail, it skillfully moved it toward the chicken meat. Inserting a piece of meat into the skewer, it quickly skewered it and put them on the fire.

What was originally planned to be a busy night of work came to an end smoothly.

Wan Zhong, who didn’t do much in the whole process: “…”

‘What should I do, I suddenly feel embarrassed to praise it?’

The black snake turned over the grilled meat skewers with its tail: “???”

‘Did I fail to do something well? Why doesn’t he praise me?’

One person and one snake had their own thoughts. Waiting for the meat to cook.

.

Wan Zhong warmed the remaining piece of cold meat that had been roasted in the forest before. He asked the black snake: “Handsome snake, do you want to eat it?”

The black snake avoided Wan Zhong and raised him with his fleshy and greasy hands, rolling Wan Zhong near his snake head. While the snake’s body bent so that he could lean against him, the snake’s head was gently placed on top of Wan Zhong’s head. While flipping the meat skewers with its tail, it hugged him and looked at the stars in the sky leisurely.

Wan Zhong’s back stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed. While tearing the meat in his hands and eating it slowly in small bites, he leaned all his body weight on the black snake.

After being together for so long, he was still very afraid of it.

He had never looked at it properly.

The part he was most familiar with was its tail.

His impression of it was summed up as thick, big, black and long. To be more detailed, there were dense green vertical pupils and cool sharp scales.

He knew very little about the black snake, the various living habits and characteristics it showed were also very different from the characteristics of ordinary snakes he knew…

Wan Zhong licked his fingers and raised his head slightly. In the starry sky, the black snake stretched and twisting like a flaming flame.

It seemed to be in a good mood now, very relaxed. Because the frequency of its tongue coming in and out was moderate, and it did not spit out for too long.

It seemed to be aware that he was looking at it, it lowered its dark green vertical pupils to look at him.

Wan Zhong saw himself in the black snake’s cold, animalistic vertical pupils, with a sallow complexion and extreme haggardness. His heart shrank, and at the same time, he felt slightly reassured.

He was in a bad state right now, and he probably wouldn’t be eaten in a while.

When Wan Zhong thought of this, he didn’t dare to eat the meat in his hands anymore, but his body now needed nutrition very much. If he tortured himself to death to prevent the black snake from eating him, it would be better to eat well and drink well before dying.

Wan Zhong kept looking away from the black snake without leaving any trace. While continuing to eat the meat in his hand, he was thinking about what he should do to stop the black snake from eating him.

Although secretly losing weight was a good way, it was only a temporary solution. If he really wanted to stay on this island for a long time, what he needed most was to have a strong body.

But if that were the case, wouldn’t it be according to the black snake’s appetite?

Wan Zhong thought so hard that his head was about to explode, and he couldn’t think of a reason, so he fell asleep leaning against the black snake.

.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, the black snake had already hung the roasted meat on the branches for him and helped him take a bath. His underwear and shoes were hung next to the meat.

It wrapped its tail around him and snored quietly. It still didn’t go out tonight and stayed in the cave with him.

Wan Zhong gently stroked the herbal leaves placed on his body, looked at the bright moon outside the cave, and recalled the kindness of the black snake to him, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

Perhaps…

Wan Zhong contemplated the idea of taking the initiative to cultivate a relationship with the black snake, deliberately strengthening the connection between them, and establishing a precious friendship between man and snake. Just like humans raising kittens and puppies, developing feelings and making the snake reluctant to eat him.

Maybe he could achieve reverse domestication and become a ‘snake master’…

“Hahaha~”

Wan Zhong seemed to have envisioned himself riding on the black snake’s tail, strolling sideways on this desert island.

He curled up his lips, yawned beautifully, raised his legs to ride on the black snake’s tail, rubbed his face against the tip of its tail, and closed his eyes in peace.

He didn’t know…

There were a pair of vertical pupils that dimly lit up in the darkness, like green lanterns.

The black snake straightened up its body, covered Wan Zhong with the fallen herbal leaves again, and lovingly licked his sallow and weak face.

Thinking that just sleeping with him would make him so happy, then when the day of tail wrapping came, wouldn’t he be so joyful that he would fly with joy?

What a pitiful, easy-to-satisfy little thing who made the snake fall in love with him.
