Suddenly a scorpion

"We were cutting wood in the mountains when it suddenly began to rain heavily. We went into a cave to wait for the rain to stop before we could continue cutting wood. Unexpectedly, your son's donkey was suddenly frightened and ran away. He hurried to chase him, but he met a hungry Wolf on the way and carried him away. The donkey did not escape being eaten."

Ha Mandin's mother was devastated when she learned of her son's tragic fate. She hit herself on the cheek wildly, threw dirt on her head, and cried her heart out. From then on, she was alone, all day long in tears, relying on the woodcutter that meager alms, hard to live.

The woodcutters made a lot of money by selling honey. Of course, they did not want to go up into the mountains to cut wood, so they all changed to business. They opened many shops in the city, and as a result of the prosperity of the business, they became rich and lived a merry life.

Ha Mandin was trapped in the cave and could not get out. He wept bitterly and felt that his life had fallen into despair. Suddenly a scorpion fell to his side, he was so scared that he jumped up and killed the scorpion. I thought to myself, "This hole was full of honey, without a crack. Where did this scorpion come from?"

Puzzled, he walked slowly to the spot where the scorpion had fallen, looked carefully, and saw that there was a very narrow crack, with a ray of light. He pulled out his machete and pried at the crack, which was as big as a window. Then he climbed out through the chasm. Not far in front of him was an iron door with a silver lock and a golden key. He peered through the crack in the door and saw a radiant glow. So he opened the door with the golden key on the lock and went in.

Walk for a while, came to a lake shore, the lake glittering silver, the lake beside a jasper piled hill, the top of the hill with a gold throne filled with pearls and gems, the throne around the rows of gold, silver, jade...... All kinds of chairs. He went to the throne and counted all the chairs around him. There were twelve thousand. Sitting on a throne, he saw a bejeweled mountain lake, as if he were in a fairyland. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. A moment later, a hissing, rustling noise woke him. He opened his eyes, and in a moment, on every chair around him were serpents, their eyes shining. The shock made his mouth dry and he thought he was going to die. Then look around, the lake is full of layers of small snakes, dense, their number, it is impossible to count.

Soon a great snake rose from the lake and came creeping towards him.

The serpent carried on its back a glittering gold dish, on which sat a female serpent with a human face and a body as transparent as crystal.

Ha Mandin was approached slowly by the strange female snake, who said hello. At this moment, a great snake hurriedly climbed out of the seat, load the gold plate, let the female snake high up in the gold plate. All the snakes kowtowed to the mother on all sides. She was saluted by the snakes, and motioned for them to sit down. Then she turned to Ha Mandin and said:

"This is snake country, young man. On behalf of all the snakes, I welcome you to the land of Snakes. I am the queen of the land of Snakes."
