Scary people into the giant cave, the hiding place of the pythons in Son La

Catching a giant python, weighing 1 quintal, eating all the chickens, but Thin villagers did not dare to kill, but the boat dropped to the mountain.

On the day we arrived at Thin village (Xuan Nha, Moc Chau, Son La), we stopped by Mr. Ha Van Quyet's house. Mr. Quyet is a Muong person. Compared to households in Thai village, Quyet's family is a reclaimer.

When mentioning the python in Hang cave, he decided to find a place to confide in the mind. He said, python in Hang mountain, he has many horrifying memories, but the most frightening is still a few years ago his home was visited by giant pythons.

Relive the forest

He decided to raise many chickens. At the end of the year, he and his wife brought a few chickens to the district town to sell and buy Tet. In the middle of last year, he saw that the chickens kept losing, he was very surprised. Living in the forest, he left the chickens to look for big trees to stay. Only when he ate had he called them. Thinking of a thief, he stayed awake many nights.

The whole week guarded but he could not detect any unusual signs. He decided to put the chickens in the cage, avoiding them from leaving.

Hang Hang is hidden under the groves of trees at the foot of the rocky mountain.

And then, one night, struggling to hear the sound of the crowing of the chicken, he could not see, he thought, maybe these chickens were locked up and left with their noses. The sun just came out, he rushed to check the barn. A horrifying scene appeared before the eyes, there was no chicken left in the barn, but only a pinch of hair covered with blood.

He looked at his head in the cage, suddenly startled because he saw in the corner of a cage a python rolled up a pile. The python claws are full of chicken feathers. It turned out that his flock of chickens had been cleaned by this python. After a few minutes of calmness, calling for support from neighbors, dragging that "thief" out. Placed on the scale, 'thief' is as long as the length of the stilt house he weighs nearly 1 quintal.

The boys of the village talked to him, giving this python to a high cooking pot to compensate for the 'loss' of the chicken flock. The plan to dispose of this python meat is also reasonable, but he refuses to remember it when he remembers the strange act of old Sung before he died, causing him to falter. So, on that day, he and the boys of the village, the ' reckless thief' released to the forest.

Explore python shelter

Wandering in the village of Sun all day, no matter how convincing, not a local resident dared to lead us to explore Hang cave. Mr. Luu Van Doai, Chief of the village, snore immediately: 'We are not afraid to go there. This story has its roots. People here say that there is a sword in the cave, no one can touch the place of that python species. They are protected by the gods and the residents living here must protect this python. Go ahead and ask this whole version, whoever wants to dare enter it !? '

The village chief Do also tells a story that he still remembers as printed, which is about a unit that pioneered here nearly ten years ago. There was a worker named Hac, who in Hoa Binh also mysteriously suffered.

Hunting pythons in Hang cave.

When I first came to this land, when I heard my relatives talk about Hang Cave, he was very anxious to go there to catch pythons. Ignoring any advice, this guy has to get a flashlight, a sharp knife, and a sack into Hang's cave. He only took more than an hour to carry two big pythons.

Having met the people in the village, he also raised a challenging voice: 'Here, I caught the' phoenix sword 'already, it's okay!'.

He also told everyone in the village that there were many pythons in the cave. Just entering the cave door, right at the flat stone pedestal, there was a dry, pear-shaped python. The black thread just tosses the cord to where they are and then puts it in the sack. That day, he cooked a few pounds high, sold tens of millions of dong.

The first time he made money so easily, a few days later he went back to the cave to catch pythons. Strangely, the place where Black caught the previous day had two other big pythons in place. He also quickly turned this python into a high pot and then sold it.

Just like that, he came to the fourth time and still had the same pythons just like the ones he had caught before, curled up and waiting. Seeing that strange coincidence, thinking of the word of warning people, He suddenly shuddered.

Thinking of this unusual thing was a bad omen, Black suddenly felt a cold spine, throwing away the bag. Whether it was due to being punished by 'gods' or for some other reason, just a few days later, the worker died without a whole after a horrific accident.

The death of Hac was a coincidence, but the story of the stone platform always appeared with a pair of pythons. Previously, anyone who had ever entered the cave had seen pythons lying in that position as if they were guarding the cave.

Stories that seem to be only in legend and full of mankind that everyone in the Thin village falls in love with makes us sell and sell suspiciously.

Walking around in the village all day to find a guide to Hang cave no one dared to accept. They all cleverly refused because they did not dare to touch the shelter of . 'gods'.

When perseverance was about to run out, we came across a young man named Van Quang (SN 1995) who was dropping buffaloes on the banks of the stream. The Quang Dynasty had just moved to the village of Thín for a few years, so Quang's family was not dominated by the mysterious tinged stories.

Asking to Hang cave, Quang was excited: 'I took the classmates outside the town to explore Hang cave, sir. A trip to remember life because almost a friend of mine was troubled . '.

Convincing forever Quang agreed to lead us into the cave. Before leaving, Quang asked us to buy flashlights, the hood must be covered, covering his legs to avoid bad things. Particularly, Quang went to the forest to cut a few wires and wrapped them into rings.

According to Quang, this string, if encountering pythons and snakes, can throw them in their shelter, it will reduce the danger, because it is thought that this type of rope is lying as if hypnotized.

Overcoming many overflows of terraced fields, we progressed to Hang mountain. The rocky mountain is not very tall but upright, full of sharp cat ears.

The door is small but the inside is wide.

The foot of the mountain was overgrown with dust, covering the entire path. The vines store is thick. Before entering Quang cave, he gave a warning: 'Now is the breeding season, pythons are very fierce. You must go carefully and follow the instructions'.

Standing at the cave entrance, the wind whistled. The humid air in the paint and the cup that took over the body made everyone feel spinal. In the cave as dark as a pot. The flashlight turned on, but it felt like it was swallowed by darkness.

Contrary to the cave entrance, the inside of the cave was expanded to form winding trenches that ran deep into the mountain. If you want to go down to the cave, you have to follow the big tree that has been built.

The deeper you go into the cave, the wider the cave is. Numerous stalactites with different shapes appear under the lights with fanciful colors. The two sides of the cave walls have many small niches. The cave floor is covered by a golden sand layer which is very smooth.

Quang was a guide but he was also very gentle. The flashlight on Quang's head illuminated every corner of the cave. Only when there is no sign of danger, Quang steps forward.

After walking a few hundred meters, our group suddenly got shocked when we heard the sound of a clatter on the cliff. Quang brought the lamp to the noise, but could not see anything. According to Quang, there is a big python on the side of the cave on the roof of the cave, not visible.

Although we just heard the sound of python, our expedition was all over. Quang reassured him: 'If I don't touch it, it won't attack me!'.

The deeper you go into the cave, the more terrible the feeling is. Above the head, countless glamorous stalactites could not dispel the fears that are slowly rising in each of the group.

In the middle of the cave, Quang suddenly stopped. It turned out that in the front pocket there was a small python lying round. The head of this python is red, the skin has dark red spots that look both beautiful and beautiful.

Seeing the 'object' lying down, we took the camera up and took a shot. According to Quang, this is another python species living in a cave to catch bats. This species is dense, so it is not scary to see people, just circle in the cavity as if nothing happened.

Python has many in Hang cave and they are not afraid of people.

Looking at the colorful colors of the small python, a few kilograms, we were quite surprised. However, Quang said, it is python stone, there are many in limestone mountains, especially Hang cave has many. They are species that love to eat bats and rats, so they need to plug in the cave to catch bats. Enough food, they don't bother going anywhere.

In the past, Hang cave had numerous stone pythons, circled on the closed stone holes in the cave. However, the people of the land do not fear 'python' , often take sacks into the cave to catch pythons on high cooking, making patties. Therefore, the number of pythons in Hang cave is less and less and explore Hang cave less and less.
