The Record of Protecting the Country by Xuan Lin

Chen Yan, who had been fighting in the emergency room for forty-seven hours, fell on the eve of successfully rescuing the mother. When he opened his eyes again, the scalpel was replaced by smooth scales, and the white coat could not wrap around the slender body of the snake - he was reborn as a little stream snake, with only the scale-patterned copper talisman left by his grandma burning in the depths of his consciousness. From avoiding the goshawk's hunting, to clumsily swallowing letters to sense the water flow; from the green light glowing from the scales when she first sheds her skin, to inadvertently causing the water flow to knock away the boulders blocking the road, and saving the dry wheat fields downstream. He gradually discovered that this snake body contained an unusual evolutionary code, and that copper talisman was guiding a path of transformation from snake to dragon. When a mountain torrent threatens to swallow up a village, he is the one who diverts the river tide to build embankments; when drought scorches thousands of miles away, he is the one who calls the clouds and thunder to rain. From the little snake in the stream to the giant dragon soaring into the clouds, Chen Yan always remembers that no matter what form he takes, his original intention to protect this land has never changed. This is the evolution epic of a snake, and it is also a long scroll of protecting the country written by a soul that took thousands of years to shed its scales.
