00:00The man was shocked to discover that his wife, who was taking a bath, seemed to have grown a tail on her back.
00:05At that moment, he finally believed that what the villagers had been saying was true.
00:08It had all started the day before.
00:10His wife, two months pregnant, had brought him food to the fields.
00:13He was afraid she would get too tired and told her to go back home and rest.
00:17But just after she left, an old priest passed by and sensed a strong smell of snakes on the man.
00:22If you don't live with snakes day and night, the priest said, that smell would never cling to your body.
00:26The villagers laughed, saying that even if he didn't have snakes at home, he had a wife as beautiful as a flower.
00:31But the priest insisted that the man had been bewitched by a demon snake and asked how he had met his wife.
00:36The man became uneasy because the truth was that he had found his wife only three months earlier.
00:41He had gone into the mountains to hunt and found an injured girl.
00:44He couldn't bear to see her freeze to death.
00:46So he brought her home and treated her wounds to thank him for saving her life.
00:50She gave herself to him that very day and soon she became pregnant.
00:53Fearing the village gossip, he had no choice but to marry her.
00:57The priest was astonished and declared that she was a snake in disguise.
01:00If the man didn't believe it, he only needed to observe whether she had a tail.
01:04Full of doubt, the man returned home.
01:06The moment he stepped inside, he saw his wife bathing with something like a tail extending from her back.
01:11Just as he thought the priest was right, she came out holding a toy in her hand.
01:14She said that the baby would be born soon.
01:16So she had made a toy shaped like a tail.
01:18Only then did the man finally calm down.
01:20That night, she asked to stay close to him, but afterward he noticed something strange.
01:24Lately, he had been feeling pain in his back and waist.
01:27He went to the kitchen to look for food to regain his strength and saw a dead rat trembling.
01:31He turned around and saw tomato sauce on her lips.
01:34Fear rose in his heart, but he remembered that she had eaten dragon fruit and that the rat had been dead for days.
01:39So he concluded that the priest had deceived him.
01:41The next morning, he looked pale and exhausted.
01:43The priest saw him and warned him that he must stay away from his wife because no man could resist the charm of a demon snake.
01:50If he continued like this, his body would be destroyed.
01:52The priest gave him water infused with talismans and told him to make her drink it to reveal her true form.
01:58That night, when he returned home, she already had dinner prepared.
02:01Watching her anxiously, he took out the bottle and lied, saying it was a special soup to protect the pregnancy.
02:06She drank it without hesitation and then screamed.
02:09He thought the water had worked, but she laughed and said the baby had kicked her, overwhelmed with emotion.
02:14He touched her belly and filled with guilt, scolded himself for ever doubting her.
02:19The next day, he angrily went to find the priest and asked why nothing had happened.
02:22The priest, surprised, put on a serious expression and said that she was about to give birth.
02:27The man became even angrier because she was only two months pregnant.
02:31The priest explained that snakes give birth after two months and whether he believed it or not.
02:35He must not approach her that night because after giving birth, snakes become weak.
02:39And can only recover their strength by eating an adult man.
02:42Confused and worried, the man returned home.
02:44As soon as he entered, he heard his wife screaming, saying she was about to give birth and begging him to come in.
02:50Shocked, he began to believe what the priest had said.
02:52He stepped back, his voice growing weaker and weaker.
02:55She begged him to at least take care of the baby.
02:56He felt guilty.
02:58His wife was suffering.
02:59And as her husband, he couldn't ignore her.
03:01Finally, he pushed the door open.
03:03And the scene he saw left him completely stunned.
