On May 14, the weather was very hot. At around 10 a.m., at the Jinsiya Jade Mine in Jiaying Village, Maotang Township, which is located deep in the mountains and dense forests, miner Jia Xianwa carried water to prepare lunch. When she was approaching the mountain spring, she suddenly saw a monster about 50 meters long and about the thickness of a large bucket drinking water from the spring. It was black in color and the sunlight shone on the monster, giving off a chilling light. Jia Xianwa suddenly realized that it was a giant python, and she was so frightened that she fainted. At around 11 o'clock, other miners saw that Jia Xianwa had not returned for a long time, so they sent people to check what happened. The miner soon discovered the unconscious Jia Xianwa and the giant python not far away. He did not dare to save her and quickly went back to report the news. The miners used mining explosives to make dynamite packets to explode the giant python. When the giant python heard the sound of the fuse, it quickly raised its head and left. Where the giant python passed, strong winds rose and all the vegetation fell. After a while, it crossed the mountain and disappeared into the jungle. The miners were still worried about saving Jia Xianwa. One of them went to fetch water and found that the mountain spring that used to hold at least 10 barrels of water had been drank dry. According to local people, this is the first time that the giant python has been discovered. It may be that the weather has been dry for a long time this year, and the giant python is thirsty and hot, so it comes out to look for water. In previous years, they have also found four or five pythons with a mouth as wide as a bowl on the mountain.
