Villagers have been feeding pythons for 9 years

One day in August 1996, Huang Kaining, 23, in Coconut Village, Jiaji Town, Qionghai City, Hainan Province, was drying in a betel nut garden not far from home when he accidentally found a small python less than a foot long in the grass, motionless, and suffered a knife wound on its tail. Huang Kaining, who has been particularly fond of small animals since childhood, moved his heart of compassion, grabbed the python and put it in his pocket and brought it home and collected an herb to stop bleeding and muscle, carefully healing the little python.

After 3 months, the little python not only fully recovered, but also gained several pounds of weight. At this time, Huang Kaining originally wanted to release the little python back to nature, but he was worried that the little python would be hurt again, and decided to let the little python continue to stay in this warm home.

In order to raise pythons well, Huang Kaining specially went to the bookstore to buy some books on raising snakes to study and study, and at the same time he also recorded some of the life habits of pythons one by one. By consulting various sources, he learned that this python belonged to the largest and fiercest black-tailed python among snakes. At first, Huang Kaining fed it frogs, toads and fish, but later found that it loved to eat mice, and Huang Kaining specially designed several small bamboo cages specifically for pythons to catch mice. Pythons eat at irregular intervals, sometimes eating a large amount of food can swallow 28 mice! The news spread that as long as the villagers caught the rats, they were sent to the Huang family, and Huang Kaining was more confident in raising pythons.

Huang Kaining is open to the python, and the little python can play in every corner of his home. At first, Huang Kaining's father objected to this, saying what if a python bites someone. But soon, Huang Kaining found that his father's worries were superfluous.

One morning in 1997, Huang Kaining felt a chill on his face in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the python, and it was meekly swinging its head! Later, this python often crawled to Huang Kaining's pillow while he was asleep, like a gentle girl like water. In this way, Huang Kaining simply prepared two pillows on his bed, one for his own and the other for the python. When pythons fall asleep, they like to curl up on their pillows. Sometimes the python will also spoil the owner, the summer weather is hot, Huang Kaining sleeps naked, the python often climbs up and down on him, and plays for half a day to fall asleep.

In 1998, Xiaolan girl from a neighboring village heard that Huang Kaining had raised a python and slept with the python, so she couldn't help but ask her female companions to come to the Huang family to watch. Xiaolan hugged the python and asked Huang Kaining, "The python sleeps with you, has it ever lost sleep?" Huang Kaining smiled and kissed the python on the spot.

Huang Kaining left a deep impression on Xiaolan. She thought that a man who has such feelings for small animals, who takes such care of them, must be very kind in heart, and must have good contact with him. So Xiaolan went home and made a few small bamboo cages and began to help Huang Kaining catch mice. Every time Xiaolan sent a mouse, she talked speculatively with Huang Kaining, and gradually established a deep relationship between them. A year later, they happily entered the palace of marriage. On their wedding night, the couple let the python sleep at the head of their bed. It wasn't until Xiaolan was confinement that she let Huang Kaining carry the python to the living room to sleep.

In 2000, after the birth of Huang Kaining's son, the python was particularly kind to the child and never hurt him. Whenever Huang Kaining and his wife went out, this python became the "snake nanny" of the Huang family's dutiful dutifulness. Huang Kaining's son rode the python as a horse for a while, and then put his small face on the back of the snake.

Pythons have been in the village for 8 years, and children regard pythons as their good friends. As soon as school is over, the children happily run to Huang Kaining's house to see the python and play with it.

In summer, children like to carry pythons to the river outside the village to swim. As soon as it reached the water, the python was very energetic and made a special fuss, slapping the children's bare butts with its thick and smooth tail from time to time. Some children who can't swim often hold the body of the python or grab the tail of the python to play in the water, play for a long time, and even learn to swim. One day, while children and pythons were having fun in the river, a little boy encountered quicksand. Seeing that he was about to be swept away by the rapids, an older companion swam over with a large python in his arms, but the water was too fast, and the companion could not pull the child back from the water several times. At this time, the python seemed to understand everyone's meaning, and suddenly wrapped its powerful tail around the little boy, dragging him back from the rapids.

Late one night in the summer of 2001, Xiaolan was awakened by a noise in the living room, and she hurriedly woke up her husband. Huang Kaining got up and turned on the light to see that a strange man was dead entangled in a python. It turned out that the thief was preparing to steal the betel nut that Huang Kaining had just bought. Huang Kaining and his neighbors twisted the thief to the town's police station overnight.

No matter how good Huang Kaining is to pythons, pythons like to live in the wild after all. In a year, it always has to go out to "hang out" several times, when it leaves and when it returns, Huang Kaining has no bottom in his heart. Whenever the python "disappears", Huang Kaining will be uneasy at home, and he is very worried about the safety of the python. Fortunately, this python is always in danger, as little as ten days, more than dozens of days, it will return safely, and Huang Kaining will always reward it with a fat rooster.

Pythons sometimes do bad things. Once When Huang Kaining went out, the python actually stole his chicken. After Huang Kaining returned, it wrapped around Huang Kaining's neck and stuck out its tongue to kiss his face, as if to make him happy, Huang Kaining cried and laughed.

After the story of Huang Kaining and the python spread, some wealthy merchants wanted to buy the python back as a pet. Although Huang Kaining's family is not rich, he is not moved by money, he said: "This python is like my family, I will not be separated from it, let alone sell him!" ”

A Taiwan businessman who runs a business in Haikou is willing to pay 80,000 yuan to buy this python, but after being rejected by Huang Kaining, he is still not dead hearted, and his wife drove a Mercedes-Benz car to Huang Kaining's house 5 times. A python can be worth so much money, which is really strange in the eyes of the villagers of Coconut Village! A kind aunt also scolded Huang Kaining for being stupid, saying that 80,000 yuan was enough to build a beautiful building! But Huang Kaining just doesn't sell.

After participating in the "Boao Forum for Asia" in 2002 to see the python, an overseas Chinese has always been obsessed with the python, often writing letters to understand the situation of the python, and from time to time sending some fees to Huang Kaining to supplement the python with nutrition.

Ah Cai is 3 years older than Huang Kaining's 6-year-old son Xiao Xingtan, he is as conniving as his brother is to Xiao Xingtan, Ren Xiao Xingtan uses its cool body as a bed to lie on it, or use it as a horse, Huang Kaining is also very relieved to see that the child and Ah Cai get along well. "Happy, because when the snake plays with the child, I also feel very happy, because other people's children are afraid of seeing the snake, only our child, let the snake out, he must climb on the snake, sit on it or get on it, let the snake hold him." Play like a sibling when you know each other well. ”

Ah Cai is sometimes also very naughty, it often climbs to the bed and Huang Kaining father and son three people have a lot of fun, sometimes When Huang Kaining takes a lunch break, it will also climb to his pillow, quietly swinging his body, afraid of waking up the master, it is hot, pillow with a natural cool pillow, Huang Kaining also sleeps very comfortably, although this python looks docile, but usually the Huang family's small xingtan is pulling and pulling at it, and teasing it from time to time.

The master saved Ah Cai, Ah Cai also did his best to be a good nanny for the master, but in the end, the python after all, it has a lot of food, a meal to eat seven or eight chickens, for a rural person it is indeed a bit of a burden, so Huang Kaining also once had the idea of giving up, and even once he opened the door, put Ah Cai on, put it in the wild, said to Ah Cai you go by yourself, you go to the wild to find food, you never come back, did not expect ah, after 48 days Huang Kaining went home to open the door to see, Ah Cai came to the house again, Huang Kaining was crying and laughing, he didn't understand why, but he just felt that he was afraid that Ah Cai and I had too good feelings and were reluctant to leave me, so he returned to my home, and since then he has never moved the idea of abandoning Ah Cai. Lost and regained, Ah Cai returned to the master's side, Huang Kaining, who had suffered from loss, cherished the python Ah Cai even more, and Huang Kaining and Ah Cai could no longer be separated.

Ah Cai became the nanny of the Huang family, after these things spread, the neighbors slowly accepted Ah Cai, some curious friends also came from afar to see the true face of Ah Cai, this Ah Cai also really gave face, neighbors and friends came, it is also very friendly.

More and more people like A Cai, the Huang family has also become a gathering point for everyone to meet after tea and dinner, due to the owner's careful feeding, the weight of the python is also increasing rapidly, and now it is more than one hundred and fifty kilograms, so such a heavy python is raised at home, which not only brings him countless joys, but also makes him feel the existence of some problems, what is the joy? It is this constant emotion between humans and pythons! But the problem is also there, such a big python is raised at home, how much does it have to eat! For an ordinary farmer in Hainan Province, this economic burden is really a bit heavy, and then there is a python, after all, it is a national first-level protected animal, whether it can be kept in an individual's home is probably also a problem.
