A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 323: Reversal

Translator: LiamHW

Wu Dahu wanted to be the volunteer down there to probe the way himself rather than risking Song Qinghan in danger. But now it seemed to be the most crucial moment which did not allow him to be hesitant, so he could only loosen his hands slowly, witnessing the giant python dragging Song Qinghan down there in a slow pace.

The python, however, did not seem to have an intention to release Song Qinghan after Song Qinghan landed, and it even wanted to take him away.

He hurriedly raised his head and shouted, “Come down now, as long as the giant creature leaves, the snake pack will attack!”

To his surprise, it was the old man jumped down first before Yuan Wenxuan and Wu Dahu, and then followed by them.

Right at this time, the python had already started to move forward as if it did not notice the presence of the other three, only letting Song Qinghan cling tight on its body while heading to the darker area.

The snake pack seemed to have perceived the movement of the python as it wiggled quick to leave, they all surged fiercely like a flood. And Wu Dahu, on the other side, hurriedly grab Yuan Wenxuan and the old man by the shoulder and quickly followed the python up in behind.

Both the old man and Yuan Wenxuan knew that it was the most critical moment for them, so they did not dare to say anything redundant but adjusted their own pace in accordance with Wu Dahu’s, trying their best not to be an encumbrance to him.

If they had no power to fight, they should at least be obedient. Even if Wu Dahu had to leave them behind for his own survival, they would have no complaint either.

Not long as they moved forward, the ground started to become damp while they could hear a crystal-clear sound from water dripping.

Song Qinghan was fine feeling nothing dampening since he was staying right on the python’s body, however, Wu Dahu, Yuan Wenxuan and that old man had already got their shoes completely soaked in the water, which at the same time the water made them quite hard to move forward.

Although the elderly-looking man was not that old by his age, he indeed got a faint physical strength, the feeble situation failed him to follow the group. Noticing that Wu Dahu and Yuan Wenxuan were still trying to run fast, he couldn’t help but utter, “Don’t run too fast, wait for me for a little bit, the snake pack won’t get in the water.”

Wu Dahu paused all of a sudden and turned his head back to look at the old man subconsciously. Seeing that the old man was currently panting hard supporting his waist, he said nothing but waited there.

Song Qinghan could not control the speed of the wiggling python himself, yet the python itself seemed to be quite sensitive to the situation of the rest of the people. And when it perceived that Yuan Wenxuan couldn’t catch up, it slowed down, making sure that Yuan Wenxuan could be caught in sight for Song Qinghan.

No one knew how long they travelled, but suddenly there was an abrupt light glittering right in front of them. And Song Qinghan could make sure that it was indeed the exit for the place underground. With excitement, he couldn’t help but cheer a little bit inside.

They finally made it, made it to get rid of that demon…

The light gradually grew bigger in sight. But wait, it could be seen that there was a shadow hidden right in the center of the light. As they got closer, Song Qinghan withdrew the smile on his face gradually with his throat tightened as if someone was trying to choke him to death.

The python seemed to have perceived something as well, and it took a sudden pause and stopped wiggling, staring at the shadow together with Song Qinghan.

Song Qinghan frowned and said coldly, “How did you know? It is impossible for those snakes to get you informed so quick, and those are all the snakes untrained, aren’t they? Just like your backup sons.”

Muye stood there, wet. No one knew whether it was because it was rainy outside or this guy had just accidentally fallen into a ditch.

He crooked his lips slightly, staring at Song QInghan with his pair of emotionless eyes, and answered slowly, “Guess yourself? Do you really think that you are able to get rid of me?”

Noticing that the man was showing himself alone, Song Qinghan got himself a peace of mind and then he responded coldly, “Do you want to fight alone against us? Or you just believe that you are potent enough to defeat us?”

“I’m afraid neither of them.”

The old man’s voice sounded right behind his back. Song Qinghan was tense all of a sudden as soon as the old man made the sound and hurriedly, he looked back to the dark area. At the moment he noticed the helplessness in Wu Dahu’s eyes and the fright in Yuan Wenxuan’s in a distance, he questioned the old man who was holding Yuan Wenxuan under duress, “Oh, you are always the one deceiving us, right? It was you who report everything?”

He asked so in a very certain tone even though it was not a narrative utterance.

Noticing that Song Qinghan had already figured out the fact, the old man contained Yuan Wenxuan and then walked toward the direction of Muye, with his face full of numbness. And he answered in a diffident voice, “You shouldn’t have made this choice, how can you just leave since your mission which is kind of important hasn’t accomplished yet?”

“Important?” Song Qinghan repeated, sneering, “You mean the operation for your father, right? Or do you mean that I should kill him instead?”

The old man paused and said without hesitation, “Of course I mean the operation, what are you talking about? How is it possible for me to wish that you will kill my father? Don’t you meddle between, you brat!”

Song Qinghan gave him a meaningful glance and suddenly pointed at him and said to Muye, “Sure I can assist you to finish the last step of the operation, but I need to use this guy’s organ.”

Muye squinted slowly, sizing up the panicked expression on the old man’s face, and said in a deep voice, “Do you think I would make that stupid decision at this point right now? He is on my side.”

As he finished those words, the old man had already walked over to him with Yuan Wenxuan in his arms.

Song Qinghan did not make a sound but stare at the old man who suddenly raised his hands and grinned.

And suddenly, Muye collapsed the next moment. He did not collapse onto the ground as everybody expected, but surprising fell to the other arm of the old man.

The old man lowered his head to look at the delicate face of Muye, with the joy showed on his own face, and at the end he cheered in a low voice, “I got it, finally I got it…”

And a moment later, he raised his head abruptly and stared at Song Qinghan, while saying in a deep voice, “Get it started now, turn me into this evil man and I will let all of you go.”

No one else appeared. It was likely that Muye was indeed in a hurry when he came over, so he didn’t have time to tell anyone.

Song Qinghan did not respond and the old man sneered, released Yuan Wenxuan suddenly and spoke again without further redundant expression, “Do you really think that you can leave this place by your own ability? Or you just so naive that you think this python is on your boat?”

As soon as he said so, he started to make a sound of hissing from his throat, which sounded just like how the python made when it wiggled.

The python, which was being kind of obedient along the way, started to become irritated at the moment it heard the hissing sound. It was getting more and more impatient while keeping waving its own long tail and knocking on the wall.

Even though the sudden change of the python’s temper startled Song QInghan for a moment, he still tried to remain the calmness on face and answered in a low voice, “So this is your another trap.”

Probably because the joy of his success had overwhelmed the old man’s mind, he laughed long and furiously, “You didn’t expect that, did you? He thinks everyone is following his orders, but in fact I have quietly set everything up, just waiting for this moment to take all he has!”

Sure enough, demon father always got the sons alike. It seemed that everyone in this place full of darkness was maniac.

Song Qinghan took out his accompanying bag, revealing the scalpel inside, and said calmly, “Are you that sure that python will be loyal to you?”

A flash of complacency flashed in the old man’s eyes as he reached out to touch the python’s torso and said softly, “Of course, I grew up with it, I know its mood, I even know its language, who will it be loyal to if not to me?”
