(This article is adapted from a folk tale and is purely fictional, please read it rationally!)
In ancient times, in a remote village, there was a scholar named Li You, whose family was very poor.
When Li You was born, his mother died of dystocia.
In this way, Li You was born in a family without a mother, but fortunately, his father gave Li You a lot of love, so he was able to spend his childhood happily.
But soon, Li's father fell ill, perhaps because of the hard work on weekdays, or because of Li You's expectations for the future, so that Li's father's health deteriorated day by day.
Within a few months, Li's father passed away, and at a time when technology was not developed, a small illness could kill a person.
At that time, Li You was still underage, but under his father's years of teaching, he grew into a personable talent.
Li You loves reading very much, often borrows other people's books to read, and gradually becomes a well-known scholar and talent in the local area.
One day, Li You wanted to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and on the country road, Li You suddenly heard a strange sound in the bushes next to him.
With curiosity, Li You walked in, and what caught his eye was a big python with white flowers.
This frightened Li You, because Li You was very afraid of snakes on weekdays, let alone encountered such a big snake alone!
Li You subconsciously wanted to run away quickly, and just as Li You was about to raise his legs to return, he found that the big white snake was struggling in pain.
Li You took a closer look and found that it turned out that the white snake had a round belly and should be preparing to give birth.
Looking at the white snake with difficult birth, Li You mustered up the courage to walk forward and stroked the white snake's round belly with his hand.
But after a long time, the output was delayed, and Li You was worried that the female snake would be exhausted and the child would not be born.
He quickly pressed his stomach with his hand, and after a while, the snake egg was squeezed by the external force and gave birth, and the mother snake also recovered her spirit.
Seeing the safe production, Li You wanted to leave, but he didn't expect that there was a voice behind Li You.
"Thank you for saving your life! I can't repay it, I can only tell you that at the banquet three days later, you must remember to eat standing up, and don't sit down!"
Just as Li You was about to look back to see who was talking, the female snake had already slipped away.
On the way home, Li You couldn't help but wonder: What kind of banquet did I have to eat standing up? How did it know that the banquet would be held three days later? Just kidding!
After thinking about it, Li You still didn't take it, and when he returned home, Li You began to cook on the fire.
But after a while, the famous bully in the village came and knocked on Li You's door.
The knock on the door startled Li You.
"Who?" When Li You pushed open the door and saw the bully standing at his door, Li You couldn't help but be a little scared, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Three days later, it is my big day, my family is going to set up a banquet to entertain guests, remember to come!"
Hearing this, Li You's heart was shocked, but he still agreed with a good voice.
Closing the door, Li You remembered what the female snake said.
Soon, three days arrived, and early in the morning he heard the sound of gongs and drums, and Li You came to the courtyard with a nervous mood.
Seeing that everyone was warmly greeting and blessings, Li You's heart was also a lot calmer.
So, Li You has been reassuring himself, maybe he has thought too much, and it's okay.
In this way, until the opening of the banquet, Li You also forgot the advice of the female snake and was chatting with his friends.
When the first dish was served, Li You reacted and forgot to stand, so Li You hurriedly stood up.
The villagers who saw Li You standing up all talked about it, "Li You! What are you doing! Sit down, the banquet will start immediately!"
Li You replied hesitantly: "My legs and feet are uncomfortable, stand for a while!"
Hearing this, the villagers didn't say anything more!
One dish, two courses, three courses.... More and more dishes were served, everyone was happily eating, and Li You began to wonder if he was too careful.
At this moment, a scream suddenly pierced the sky, ah!
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out that it was a snake that had bitten the man, and soon there was a howl from a second person! followed by a third man, and then a fourth man.......
The scene was very chaotic, only Li You was unharmed, and he quickly fled back to his home.
Later, after inquiry, I found out that this was the snake for revenge!
It turned out that the bully's family had been catching snakes for a living for generations, and it was precisely because Li You saved the female snake that he was spared!
