Taoyuan Village has three scourges.
First are the wolves in the mountains, second is Liu Dagen in the village, and the third is the Red Crown Snake in East River Bay.
East River Bay is a gully that comes out from the mountains, and because it connects to the mountain reservoir, the open mountain gully has formed a river.
Originally, East River Bay was the villagers' favorite place to go—some came here to bathe, some to wash clothes, and the crops were all irrigated with water from it.
But since the arrival of the Red Crown Snake in recent years, all that beauty has been disrupted.
In recent years, there have been no fewer than three or four villagers who have died under the Red Crown Snake's venomous fangs.
Moreover, there are many versions of rumors about the Red Crown Snake in the village, which they have come to regard as a terrifying menace.
