"I don't know, and I've never seen it." Yang Ruqing shook her head resolutely.

Even if I said it was "regression," they would still bombard me with a bunch of questions.

This is a question that's hard to pin down, it involves human evolution, and even if she knew some of the reasons why this problem arises, she couldn't offer a solution.

So, saying it is the same as not saying it at all. It's better to just remain silent.

Here, Old Yang said again: “I asked your mother to go and ask that fortune teller. The fortune teller said that your fourth uncle had offended a snake spirit, and the snake spirit punished your fourth uncle by causing his child to be born with a small serpent tail.”

"Is there really such a saying? That's too scary, right?" Yang Huazhong asked.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

A man of stature, fully grown and strong, was actually somewhat frightened.

Sun was even more frightened.

Yang Ruqing secretly twitched the corner of her mouth. This was simply absurd.

But the villagers were superstitious and believed that snakes, foxes, and other creatures had spirits and could turn into demons.

"Did that fortune teller give you a way to solve it?" Yang Ruohua asked deliberately.

Let me know if you have other text to translate!

Lao Yang shook his head. "No, the fortune teller said she wasn't capable enough, and that your fourth uncle had killed too many people, so the snake spirit wanted to punish him."

>

“This is getting ridiculous…” Yang Ruqing muttered under her breath.

"Snake spirit?"

A hoarse voice came over, and upon seeing it was Yang Huaming, with a face full of grief.

>

He stared fixedly at Lao Yang's head, and rushed to him in three quick steps.

"Father, please tell me what you said before again, I want to hear it, I want to hear it!" Yang Huaming sat at the side of Lao Yang's legs like a child, shaking his legs vigorously.

Then Lao Yang repeated what he had just said.

After hearing this, Yang Huaming's eyes widened. He clutched his head with both hands and collapsed to the ground.

His soul seemed unable to find its place, his whole body trembling violently, as if sifted through a sieve.

His mouth moved, murmuring: "A snake demon? Karma, karma..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Yang Huazhong was the first to rush over, "Fourth brother, did you really do something? Tell us quickly, what are you hiding from us?"

Yang Huaming shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything!"

Old Yang also walked over, with a face full of pain and anxiety, and said: “Now that it has come to this, you're still hiding things from us?”

"If you really did something wrong, just confess it. Otherwise, this retribution will keep going on and on. In the future, even if you have another son, he'll be born with a tail and a snake's head. Then see what you can do about it!"

Yang Huaming shook his head frantically, "No, no harm me, don't harm me..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

As he was talking, he suddenly knelt down and pounded his head against the ground.

A 'bang bang' sound was emitted.

Yang Huazhong and Lao Yangtou became even more anxious, surrounding Yang Huaming. They asked him relentlessly, but he wouldn't reveal anything.

Yang Huaming crazily knocked his head, breaking it open and bleeding.

He seemed fearless of pain, stood up and pushed Yang Huazhong and Lao Yangtou aside, then bolted into the night.

“Stop him!” Old Yang exclaimed.

>

A figure suddenly flashed, and in the next instant, Yang Huaming's collar was grabbed by Yang Ruqing and dragged back.

"Let me go, let me go!" Yang Huaming was still struggling in Yang Ruqing's hands, shouting.

Yang Ruqing was getting impatient. She told Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong, "Uncle Four is very unstable right now, he might go crazy and do something foolish at any moment. One of you come over and slap him awake!"

Lao Yang raised his hand, glanced at his own palm, and hesitated, looking conflicted between wanting to hit and being unwilling to do so.

“Lao San, you still go and fight!” Lao Yangtou said.

Yang Huazhong also looked embarrassed.

Here is the text in English, keeping the HTML tags: Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Yang Ruqing became even more impatient, "Don't force me to take action, I'm a junior. Doing this will cause me to suffer retribution!"

Yang Ruqing is a person who has a principle.

Unless it's those big villains who want to kill or maim her, she should fight and kill without mercy.

But when it comes to relatives and friends like those at home, frankly speaking, they don't reach that level.

To pierce the heavens is just some selfish things in human nature, so even if Yang Ruqing was annoyed and disdainful of their behavior, she wouldn't resort to fighting with them.

This text is a single line. It's also possible that you meant to include more than one line of text, as the closing paragraph tag suggests.

There's no need for that, and I wouldn't get any satisfaction from it.

And even though Yang Huaming might be a scoundrel, after all, he is an elder and the older brother of my father.

Even though it was under special circumstances, a niece slapping her uncle is still something that would damage her reputation if it were to reach the outside world.

Not only do I have to be criticized myself, but my parents also get criticized because of me.

“Father, quickly come over and give him a slap! Fourth Uncle won’t calm down unless he gets hit.” Yang Ruqing urged again.

Yang Huazhong raised his hand and slapped Yang Huaming in the face.

But, it was useless. Yang Huaming was still going crazy, yelling and screaming.

"Snakes, snakes, so many snakes, everywhere…"

>

By the end, they were all yelling incoherently, their words making no sense.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Ruqing was also amused and said to Yang Huazhong, "Dad, that slap of yours wasn't a slap at all, it was just an itch scratch."

"Please use a bit more strength, I'm almost losing my grip." she said. Please note: I can't actually process HTML tags, only the text content within them. I just removed the

Yang Huazhong gritted his teeth, raised a big hand, and slapped Yang Huaming's face that had been contorted in terror...

"Slap!"

Listen to this sound, this slap is powerful and well-placed.

Yang Huaming tilted his head to the side, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and suddenly became obedient.

"I'm finished…"

This was the first thing he said after calming down.

Then, he opened his mouth and sobbed, slowly crouching down, burying his head in his hands.

“Stop acting crazy, we're all fed up with it.” Yang Ruqing said coldly.

“I’ll ask you one last time, either tell us the truth about what happened or get out right now. We don’t care if you live or die.” she added.

Yang Huaming slowly raised his head, looking at Yang Ruqing and the others in front of him. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and finally spoke slowly about his own affairs.

This is an example of using HTML tags.

"The fortune teller said I offended a snake spirit and was being punished for it. Is that true?" he said.

“This matter, we have to start from Yun City...”

Next, Yang Huaming meticulously recounted, word for word, the story of how Yang Wenxuan had taken him to seek out that so-called divine doctor, to Yang Ruqing and Lao Yangtou.

After hearing this, Old Yang was astonished and exclaimed, "One dose of medicine cured your ailment! That crippled Xue seems to be a true divine physician!"

"But what does this have to do with you offending the Snake Demon? Shouldn't Xue Pozi be your benefactor instead?" The old man said.

Yang Huaming shook his head and said, "That prescription, he told me to take one pill before bed every night, but he also instructed me that on the 15th and 16th of every month, I must eat snake soup."
