Folk tale: The cowherd used a trick to hunt the big snake and rescued the rich girl twice, and finally the two got married
In a quiet mountain village a long, long time ago, there was a cowherd named Bao. Bao's family was poor, his parents died early, and he lived alone on a few acres of thin fields and an old cow. Although Bao is poor, he has an optimistic personality and a kind heart, and is deeply loved by the villagers.
On this day, Bao, as usual, led the old cow to the mountains to graze. The sun shines through the dense foliage and shines on the mountain paths, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and earth. Po hummed a little song and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
Suddenly, a hurried cry for help broke the silence of the mountain forest. Ah Bao followed the prestige and saw a young woman running towards him in a panic, followed by a huge black snake, spitting out letters and hissing sounds. The woman was in rags, apparently fleeing to this point, and when she saw Bao, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and she cried out for help: "Help!
Seeing this, Ah Bao threw down the cow rope without hesitation and rushed forward. He picked up a thick branch and threw it at the serpent. The big snake was in pain, temporarily loosened its entanglement with the woman, and instead launched an attack on Po. Po was agile and dodged several attacks from the serpent, while constantly hitting the serpent seven inches with a branch. After a fierce struggle, the big snake was finally knocked to the ground by Po and couldn't move.
Seeing this, the woman hurriedly ran to Ah Bao's side and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me!" My name is Xiaofang, and I am a villager from a nearby village. When something happened to my family, I fled to this place, but I encountered this evil snake. If you hadn't rescued me in time, I'm afraid I would have died in the mouth of the snake. ”
Ah Bao waved his hand and said with a smile: "With a lot of effort, why worry about it." It's fine if you're okay. As he spoke, he picked up Xiaofang and prepared to send her home.
The two chatted all the way, and Ah Bao learned that Xiaofang was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in the village, but because of the changes in her family, her parents died, and her family property was robbed, so she had to flee alone. Po was deeply sympathetic to Xiaofang's plight and invited her to stay in her home for the time being, and wait for her to recover.
Xiaofang was grateful and agreed to Bao's invitation. The two returned to Bao's house, and Bao prepared a simple meal and a clean bed for Xiaofang. Under Bao's care, Xiaofang gradually recovered. The two get along day and night, and their relationship is getting deeper and deeper.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day, Ah Bao and Xiao Fang were working in the fields, when suddenly dark clouds covered and the wind blew. A black snake that was even bigger than before fell from the sky and came straight towards Xiao Fang. Seeing this, Ah Bao immediately threw down the farm tools in his hand and blocked in front of Xiao Fang. He knew very well that this big snake was by no means an ordinary person, and it must be a demonic thing. He took a deep breath and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
Bao remembered a legend that the old man in the village had mentioned that this giant snake was transformed by a demon in the mountains, and that it could only be subdued with realgar wine and a peachwood sword. He immediately ran home and took out the realgar wine and the peach wood sword that he had already prepared. Ah Bao poured the realgar wine at the big snake, and suddenly a strong smell of wine spread. The serpent seemed to be smoked by the smell of wine, and his movements became sluggish. Po took the opportunity to swing his peachwood sword and stabbed at the snake's seven inches.
After a fierce battle, the big snake was finally stabbed by Po with a peachwood sword and fell to the ground. Po sat on the ground tiredly, gasping for breath. Xiao Fang ran over and hugged him tightly, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
The two knew that the big snake must be related to the accident in Xiaofang's family. So, they decided to go to the mountains to find out the lair of the great serpent. After some searching, they finally found the serpent's lair in a hidden cave. The nest was filled with gold, silver, and jewels, apparently stolen by the serpent.
Bao and Fang brought their belongings back to the village and returned them to her relatives and friends. Relatives and friends were grateful to Po and praised him as a good young man who was a hero to save the beauty and wise and brave. Xiaofang also has respect and admiration for Bao, and the two decide to face the future life together.
Since then, Ah Bao and Xiao Fang have run the family's fields together and lived a hard-working and happy life. Their deeds have become a good story in the village and have become a good story in folklore.
This is the story of the cowherd Ah Bao who hunted the big snake with a trick and rescued the rich girl Xiaofang twice. With his wisdom and courage, he not only saved Xiaofang's life, but also uncovered the secret behind the big snake and helped Xiaofang restore the family business. In the end, the two tied the knot and lived a happy life.
This story spread throughout the mountain village, and people praised Po for his bravery and wisdom, and also lamented Xiaofang's luck and tenacity. And the big snake that once did a lot of evil is also regarded as a warning, always reminding people to revere nature and stay away from evil.

Although the life of the two is simple, it is full of sweetness and warmth. When night falls, Po sits in the courtyard, playing the melodious flute, while Fang snuggles up to him, and the two of them enjoy the twinkling stars in the night sky and imagine a better future.
However, the happy days did not make them forget the hardships of the past.

One day, Ah Bao and Xiao Fang sat under the old locust tree in the yard, reminiscing about the past. Xiao Fang smiled and said to Ah Bao: "Brother Ah Bao, do you remember the scene when we first met? That big snake almost killed me, but you saved me." ”
Ah Bao laughed, stroked Xiao Fang's white hair, and said softly: "How could I forget? If it weren't for it, we might never have met. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of emotion and happiness. They know that although the years have passed, their love and tacit understanding have never changed.
However, on this quiet afternoon, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the village. It turned out that the bandits in the neighboring village learned that Ah Bao and Xiao Fang had treasures hidden in their homes, so they gathered a group of people to rob them.
When Bao and Xiaofang heard the news, they immediately gathered the young people in the village and prepared to face the bandits. Despite their advanced age, their courage and wisdom are still the same.
Po used his familiarity with the mountains and forests to set traps, while Xiaofang used her eloquence to mobilize the villagers to unite and defend against foreign enemies. Under their leadership, the villagers worked together and launched a fierce battle with the bandits.
