At the foot of Weishan Mountain, the only rural road leading to Zhangjiacun.
After Pei Wende explained to Zen Master Lingyou, he ran straight down the mountain like a hunter with a bow and a knife.
Then, as expected, Pei Wende saw the little green snake coiled on a tree branch at the foot of the mountain.
Still a familiar place, a familiar posture...
Just like every time in the past, the little green snake always appeared in advance on Pei Wende's only way down the mountain like a prophet.
"Obviously I was so reluctant when I asked you to come down the mountain for the first time, but now you are quite proactive."
With a smile on his lips, Pei Wende thought of the last time he went to Lu Mansion in Changsha County to eliminate ghosts.
At that time, I begged the little green snake to come down the mountain, and even used various delicacies and snacks in Changsha County as temptations, and then reluctantly persuaded the other person to become my temporary "thigh".
But now, the little green snake seems to have tasted the sweetness of going down the mountain.
Even if you don't call it, it will take the initiative to appear on your way down the mountain.
"But aren't you going to introduce the three people behind you?"
Following Pei Wende's gaze, he saw three trembling little civet cats hiding behind the tree, their three bright yellow tails trembling from time to time.
"hiss!"
The little green snake with a cold personality didn't bother to pay attention to Pei Wende's teasing.
It just slowly came down from the branch while spitting out snake bites.
"Tsk, if you were a human, you would be beaten to death with this kind of character."
Upon seeing this, Pei Wende, who had already had a tacit understanding, quickly stepped forward to catch the little green snake, and did not forget to complain about the arrogant character of the little green snake at the right time.
As a result, the little green snake, as if there was no one around, immediately wrapped itself around Pei Wende's wrist, then got into his clothes and hid it.
"Finally saved!"
"Oh, oh, I miss daddy."
"So, have we completed our mission?"
It was only then that the three cute little civet cats dared to pop out from behind the tree and looked at Pei Wende, who was so close, with a bewildered look.
Although there were many twists and turns, the three civet and cat brothers finally completed the task that the stubborn old man asked them to go up the mountain to find Pei Wende.
But these three little civet cats had no idea what to do next after finding Pei Wende.
"Are you the 'adopted sons' of that stubborn old man in Zhangjiacun?"
On the other hand, Pei Wende, who had been mentally prepared, was not surprised at all by the appearance of these three little civet cats who could speak human words.
As early as after the last mandrill incident, Pei Wende knew about the three spirits hidden in Zhangjiacun.
However, it was because of Pei Wende's unfriendly first meeting.
Both the three civet brothers themselves and their adoptive father, the stubborn old man, all tacitly avoided meeting Pei Wende again.
Of course, the three civet brothers were not so much hiding from Pei Wende as they were hiding from the little green snake who was inseparable from Pei Wende.
Therefore, in the end, Pei Wende only knew that the stubborn old man had three little civet cats that could talk and change at will, and the rest was no longer clear.
"Yes, yes, my name is Zhang Wending, and I am the eldest brother."
"My name is Zhang Wennai, and I am the second child."
"My name is Zhang Wentuo, and I am their younger brother."
Facing Pei Wende's question, the three civet cats, who could only be distinguished by their colors, introduced themselves in an orderly tone like students facing a teacher's question.
"Well……"
His eyes widened in surprise, and Pei Wende didn't know whether he was surprised by the well-behavedness of these three civet cats, or by their "orderly" names.
It can be seen from the names alone that the stubborn old man has high hopes for these three brothers.
"When you went up the mountain this time, did something happen down the mountain?"
It didn't take long for Pei Wende to be surprised before he changed the topic to the question he wanted to know most.
Being able to make that stubborn old man put down his stubbornness, it was certainly no small matter for the three brothers to go to the mountain for help this time.
In this regard, Pei Wende has made preparations for the troops to block it and the water to cover it up.
"Someone wants to kill us!"
"That's right, we've obviously never even seen them!"
"My father said that they are all from the government, that's why he asked us to come to you to save your life!"
Talking and complaining to Pei Wende, the three civet brothers were like real children at this moment, and their tone was full of grievances.
"Wait, take your time and tell me one by one."
Rubbing his temples with a slight headache, Pei Wende felt as if he had suddenly returned to a private school, studying and literacy with those little brats.
Fortunately, Pei Wende had enough experience in dealing with this kind of brat, so he didn't show too much helplessness.
"Let's start with Wending..."
Pointing at the largest civet cat, Pei Wende had just finished saying this when the other two civet cats fell silent as expected.
"The government officials you just mentioned, how did they discover you?"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"hiss!"
Under Pei Wende's clothes, listening to the three civet brothers repeating what they had said to themselves before, the little green snake's eyes showed a rare murderous intent.
But when he thought of Pei Wende, the killing intent in the little green snake's eyes gradually faded away.
No matter what the origins of the humans the three civet brothers met before, there are still some people in this world who do not reject monsters.
Pei Wende, who looks casual and carefree on the surface, but actually cares about what others think, was last...
Those villagers in Zhangjiacun who were willing to risk offending the government officials to help the three civet brothers escape were also included...
"hiss……"
After thinking about this, the little green snake realized.
Unknowingly, I was no longer the snake spirit that wandered alone in the mountains and wilderness, being rejected, feared, and even hunted by various human beasts.
The indifferent character shaped by the past hundred years of experience seems to have been melted in a very short period of time.
After all, if it were the little green snake a year ago, it would not have dared to imagine that it would be so close to a human being, and even take the initiative to hide under the other person's clothes.
"hiss!"
When he meets Pei Wende, Little Green Snake is a loner and the overlord who dominates the mountains and forests.
Even if it is a monster at the level of Tiger, Little Green Snake never recognizes the other person as one of its own kind, let alone a minor character like the three civet brothers.
However, after meeting Pei Wende, Little Green Snake has already broken many of his "firsts".
Just like now, the little green snake was angry because of what happened to the three civet brothers, and even had the intention to kill.
If it were the little green snake from before, it would have been considered to be in a good mood without eating the three civet brothers, and it was impossible for it to have the same kind of cognition as empathy.
