The woman went to the broken courtyard to take shelter from the rain, and saw the python shivering
In the ancient villages, there are many mysterious legends. At the edge of the village, there is a courtyard that has long been abandoned, with dilapidated walls and broken roofs, all revealing the vicissitudes of time. The villagers all said that there were unclean things living in the broken courtyard, and every night, there would always be strange noises, which made people afraid to approach.
There is a woman named Wan'er in the village, she is young, beautiful, and kind-hearted, but she often gets into trouble because of the tricks of fate. On this day, Wan'er returned from the market, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and in the blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down. Wan'er hurriedly looked for a place to shelter from the rain, and seeing that there was no one around to cast, she decided to go to the dilapidated courtyard for a while.
She walked through the dirt path to the ruined courtyard. The door was half-opened, as if inviting her to enter. Wan'er hesitated, but the rain became more and more intense, and she had to walk in.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and desolate. Several rooms had collapsed, leaving only the ruins. Wan'er found a relatively clean corner, squatted down, and took out an oil-paper umbrella from her baggage to block it above her head.
At that moment, she suddenly heard a faint noise, as if something was wriggling in the grass. Wan'er looked curiously and saw a huge python curled up in the grass, shivering, as if it was also dodging the sudden heavy rain.
Wan'er was so frightened that she was afraid of snakes since she was a child, let alone such a big python. She hugged the oil-paper umbrella tightly, for fear that the python would suddenly attack her. However, the python didn't seem to notice her presence, just kept shaking its body, as if it was enduring great pain.
A hint of pity rose in Wan'er's heart, and she mustered up her courage and cautiously approached the python. She noticed that the python had many scars on its body, which seemed to have been cut by something sharp. Wan'er's heart tightened, and she guessed that the python might have been hunted and killed by the villagers.
At this moment, the python suddenly raised its head and looked directly at Wan'er with a pair of deep eyes. Wan'er was frightened and took a step back, but the python didn't attack her, but slowly spoke: "Borrow your umbrella." ”
Wan'er was stunned, she couldn't believe her ears. How could the python speak? Could it be that she had misheard? However, there was an urgent longing in the python's eyes that Wan'er could not ignore.
Wan'er hesitated, but still handed the oil-paper umbrella in her hand to the python. The python took the umbrella and slowly unfolded it, covering its body. Wan'er saw that the python's wound seemed to be no longer so painful under the cover of the umbrella.
"Why did you borrow my umbrella?" Wan'er asked with courage.
The python slowly raised its head, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "I am the spirit snake in this mountain, and I have no grievances with humans." But in recent years, humans have been hunting and killing our people in order to covet my scales. These scars on my body are the ones they left behind. It was raining heavily today, and my wound was in unbearable pain, so I had to hide in this dilapidated courtyard. Your umbrella kept the rain out and relieved my pain. ”
Wan'er was sympathetic when she heard this, she didn't expect this python to have such an encounter. She looked at the scars on the python's body, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. She decided to help the python and let the villagers know the abomination of killing wild animals.
However, Wan'er also knows that it is not easy to change the minds of the villagers. She must come up with a way to get the python cured and the villagers realize what was wrong.
The rain gradually stopped, and Wan'er stood at the gate of the broken courtyard, looking into the distance. She knows that her task is still difficult, but she also believes that as long as she has the heart, she will be able to change the status quo.
Wan'er decided to go to the village elders first and tell them what happened to the python, hoping that they would intervene to stop the killing. At the same time, she has to find a way to find herbs for the python's wounds.
So, Wan'er embarks on the difficult road of finding herbs and convincing the villagers. She walked through dense forests and climbed mountains, defying all odds. Thanks to her efforts, she finally found some herbs that could heal the wounds of the python.
When Wan'er returned to the broken courtyard with the herbs, the python had already recovered a little. When it saw Wan'er return, its eyes lit up with gratitude. Wan'er mashed the herbs and applied them to the python's wound. The python's pain gradually subsided, and it slowly closed its eyes, as if enjoying the rare peace.
Under Wan'er's careful care, the python's wound gradually healed. And during this time, Wan'er did not forget her other task - to persuade the villagers. She went door-to-door to visit village elders and told them about what happened to pythons and the dangers of killing wild animals. Although the villagers did not believe her words at first, with her persistence and hard work, they gradually began to reflect on their actions.
Finally, one day, the village elders gathered everyone and announced a ban on the killing of pythons and other wild animals. They also held a blessing ceremony for the python, hoping that it would forgive human sins and continue to thrive in this mountain forest.
Wan'er looked at all this, and her heart was full of relief and joy. She knew that her efforts had not been in vain, and she had succeeded in winning the right to survive for the python and making the villagers realize their mistakes.
From then on, the ruined courtyard was no longer weird, but full of life and harmony. Instead of being afraid of it, the villagers often come to clean it up and provide a safe habitat for pythons and other wildlife. And Wan'er has also become a hero in the village, and her story has been told and has become a legend from generation to generation.
As the years go by, Wan'er is getting old, but she still guards the mountains and forests and the animals that have a deep friendship with her. The python also thrives in this mountain forest, and its descendants remember Wan'er's kindness and often hover around her, as if guarding her.
One day, Wan'er got lost in the mountains and forests, and she was exhausted, but she could never find her way home. Just when she felt desperate, a huge python appeared in front of her. It wrapped its body around Wan'er, gently lifted her up, and then slowly swam forward.
Wan'er was surprised to find that the python was taking her through the mountains and forests, bypassing the dense forests, and finally came to the entrance of the village. When the villagers saw this, their mouths opened wide in surprise. They all gathered around, cheering Wan'er's return.
Wan'er looked at the python gratefully, she knew that it was the python repaying her kindness. She stroked the python's head, tears glistening in her eyes: "Thank you, my friend. ”
The python seemed to understand Wan'er's words, and it slowly lowered its head, as if to greet Wan'er. Then, it turned and disappeared into the forest, leaving Wan'er and the villagers looking at each other, filled with awe and gratitude.
Since then, the story of Wan'er and the python has become a legend in the village. Whenever someone mentions this past, the villagers will sigh and admire Wan'er's kindness and python's spirituality. And that mountain forest has become more mysterious and beautiful because of this legend.
After a long time, Wan'er finally passed away peacefully. On the day she died, a strange beam of light appeared in the sky, shooting straight at the mountain forest. The villagers all said that it was Wan'er's soul who ascended to heaven and continued to guard the land she loved so much.
And the python also seemed to sense something. It slowly swam to Wan'er's grave, where it stood silently, as if watching over her soul. From then on, whenever someone passed by Wan'er's grave, they would see the python standing there quietly, as if telling an immortal legend.

One summer, the village was hit by an unprecedented drought. The sun scorched the earth, the rivers dried up, and the crops withered. The villagers were anxious, but they couldn't do anything. Just when everyone was desperate, the python appeared again. It roams every corner of the village, seemingly looking for something.
One night, the python came to the center of the village, and it was entrenched under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, and its body emitted a faint light. The villagers were surprised to find that under the python's body, a clear spring appeared. The spring water is clear and sweet, which instantly relieves the drought in the village.
The villagers cheered, knowing that this was the python repaying their kindness and the blessing of Wan'er's spirit in the sky.
