Chapter 2: Poisonous Snakes
Xie Hao watched as the cricket jumped into the grass. △ Top Novel, x.
The grass suddenly moved, and something quickly jumped up and swallowed the cricket.
This change came so suddenly, Xie Zhen couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
The thing swallowed the cricket, and then looked up at Xie Zhen, "hissing" and spitting out the letter.
Xie Zhen's goosebumps stood up.
Snake......
It's actually a snake...... Or a highly venomous krait!
She subconsciously wanted to turn her head and run, but it took great perseverance to stand still and not move.
It's not that she doesn't want to run, but even if she has eight legs, she can't run this snake......
You can't move, you can't move, so as not to startle the snake......
With this thought, Xie Zhen was stunned for a moment and then made a bitter face, it turned out that this is how the grass startled the snake came......
She forced herself to calm down again. She doesn't have anything on her body to defend against now, and she flies the seven inches of a hairpin to stab a snake? Alas, she didn't have the kung fu to say it, she didn't even know where the seven inches of the snake were!
Xie Hao stared at the eyes of the krait, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.
Strange to say, the snake didn't know what was going on, stared at her for a while, and turned its head to look away as if it had lost patience, and its original vigorous body also softened, pressed against the grass and clumped together, and slowly stretched out, as if it was about to leave.
Xie Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just begging that there would be no changes at this time.
But I'm really afraid of something.
She suddenly heard Zhu Hibiscus ask loudly, "Miss, how is it?" Did you catch the cricket? ”
Oops! Xie Zhen suddenly had a thrill. At this moment, her reason and everything were thrown into the country of Java, and there was only one word left in her mind.
She turned around and ran, "Hibiscus, there are snakes, run!" ”
Zhu Hibiscus didn't hear what she said clearly, she only wondered why she strode with her skirt in a daze, and when she saw the krait snake behind her, which was leaning up and spitting letters, she only screamed in fright, "Snake snake snake! Miss, run! Clouds come to clouds! Help me! ”
Xie Hao gritted her teeth. She didn't have to look back now to know that the krait was approaching. She seemed to smell the smell of the krait snake hyacinth.
Even if the clouds come at this time, it will be too late.
The krait sprang up like a bolt of lightning towards Xie Hao's head.
When it was too late, Xie Hao suddenly turned around and raised her hand. Blocking something in front of him.
It was a small black box. Now there is a krait hanging from it.
Xie Zhen was swinging all over. There was a burst of nausea in my heart.
Because of the proximity, she could clearly see the krait's fangs piercing into the box, releasing a sticky, fishy yellow venom.
Xie Zhen shivered several times in a row. With a shake of his hand, he threw the box out.
Yunlai, who followed the sound, saw a hemp rope-like thing crossing the air, and his heart was shocked, his body swept up, and he trampled the golden snake under his feet with one foot.
At this time, Zhu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Zhen, who was trembling.
Xie Hao's teeth chattered: "This snake, is it dead?" ”
Before Yunlai could speak, the krait's tail rose and circled in the air.
It's like replying to her words! What an arrogant snake! Xie Hao took a step back under the escort of Zhu Hibiscus and said in a trembling voice: "Kill it, kill it!" ”
Yunlai nodded, stepping on the seven-inch foot of the krait.
The krait raised its head in pain and grinned at Xie Hao - it was still holding the small box in its mouth, but under the struggle, the box was thrown to the ground.
It opened its mouth wide and turned its head nimbly, as if to bite Yunlai's foot.
Yun Lai hurriedly jumped out of the way and blocked in front of Xie Zhen.
The krait did not retaliate, but instead gathered its body around the black box.
Xie Hao's face was a little complicated, what she just took to save her life was the Chi Guang box, what was locked in it could be regarded as the ancestor of the snake, this krait snake behaved like this, there won't be any changes in the future, right?
She stared at the krait without blinking, not daring to relax in the slightest.
What made her feel even more strange was that the krait snake actually showed a bit of sadness for the Chiguang box, and even rubbed the box lightly with his head, looking very nostalgic.
Could it be that this snake really recognized the ancestor of the snake? Xie Hao secretly guessed in her heart.
Yun Lai didn't know what Xie Hao was thinking, but he kept paying attention to the movement of the krait, and now that it seemed to have lost the ability to attack, he cautiously stepped forward, picked up the krait with the head of his boot, and kicked it far away.
The krait was indeed on the verge of death, and after being kicked away, it could no longer struggle, only slowly wriggled twice, and then stiffened and did not move.
Xie Zhen suddenly had some inexplicable feelings in her heart.
Yun Lai had already leaned over and carefully picked up the late light box on the ground, and asked Xie Zhen to ask, "Miss, this box has been bitten out of two big holes, do you still want it?" ”
Xie Zhen didn't know whether to keep this box at this time, now that the box is broken, can he still suppress the lonely snake? Now where did the lonely snake run away?
Listening to Yun Lai's admiration, he said: "However, it is really a coincidence, although this box is broken, the pearls inside are still intact." Miss, if I take this pearl out and give it another box, will you?" ”
"Pearls?" Xie Zhen was stunned, when did she put pearls in the late light box?
Yunlai had already handed over the box, "Yes! Look, isn't that just a big pearl? ”
In the late light box, which had been corroded by the fangs with two large holes, there was indeed a white, faintly transparent, pearl-like oval object.
Xie Hao's expression was even more complicated and uncertain.
She now knew why the krait was so reluctant to show her affection for the Late Glowbox, because it actually laid an egg in the Late Box!
Oh my God!
Xie Zhen looked up at the sky, speechless.
What should she do now? Where did the lonely snake go? To keep this snake egg or not to keep it?
"Miss?" Yunlai didn't understand why she couldn't make a decision.
Xie Zhen opened her mouth, but only sighed.
It stands to reason. This snake egg should be destroyed as much as possible to prevent future troubles. But the female snake's actions before she died deeply touched her.
She was also a mother and would rather use her own death to save her child.
"Ouch!" Zhu Jin snatched the box in Yunlai's hand, took out the "pearl" and held it in his hand and said, "Do you need to say this?" Of course, it's a different box for this pearl! ”
Xie Zhen finally chose to acquiesce.
The snake egg now has no mother. It's uncertain whether it can hatch or not, so let's keep it for now.
She pressed her forehead a little tiredly and turned back into the house.
"That's right." She stopped, turned back and explained to Yun Lai: "You go to Baiyang Hutong for a walk, tell the third brother, the cricket was swallowed by this snake, let him not catch any crickets in the future and have fun." Be careful of delaying your studies. ”
Yun Lai's face was first happy and then a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhen frowned and said, "Don't you really want to see your young master?" ”
Yun Lai grinned with a smile on his face: "Miss wants me to run errands." Then I have no second words, but if you want me to say that to the young master, I ...... I don't dare ......."
Xie Zhen smiled, "What's not to dare to do." You just said I meant it. ”
"It's not ......" Yunlai subconsciously wanted to shirk again. Xindao: You are not afraid of the young master. That's because the young master is kind to you, I haven't been kicked by the young master, and today I really said this in front of the young master. I'm afraid I'll only get kicked again.
Xie Hao saw that he was pushing back, so he had no choice but to come hard, and glared, "Are you going or not?" If you don't go, I'll ask Zhu Jin to instruct the small kitchen to add you a perfect snake soup tonight!" ”
Ten perfect snake soup ...... Yun Lai only glanced at the dead snake on the ground, although it was true, but it was still a poisonous snake in the end, it was better for him not to take this risk.
"I'll go, I'll go." Yunlai nodded and smiled, but when he turned around, he drooped his head and accepted his fate.
Zhu Jin couldn't help but hide her lips and snicker, and asked Xie Zhen with some concern: "Miss, what kind of soup are you about to use that poisonous snake to stew for Yunlai?" ”
Xie Zhen shook his head and said, "I lied to him casually, do you believe it?" ”
"I didn't believe it!" Hibiscus stuck out her tongue.
Xie Hao smiled slightly: "Okay, now that you know that I lied to him, you don't have to worry about him, right?" You go find someone and dispose of the snake's carcass. ”
"I didn't." Zhu Jin's face turned red, and he said again: "I know." ”
After she finished speaking, she carefully poured the "pearl" in her palm into Xie Zhen's hand, and she called the little maid to go.
Xie Hao looked at the snake egg on his palm and sighed heavily.
Of course, Xie Yu on the side of Baiyang Hutong can't honestly copy "Luo Huadian".
There is a person who is immersed in copying books in front of the bookcase, but that person is not Xie Yu, but poor Xilai. As for Xie Yu himself, he was lying on the couch with his legs crossed, eating grapes and flipping through the account books, and his life was as comfortable as usual.
When Yunlai saw this scene, his mood suddenly improved, and even his resentment against Xie Yu for leaving him to Xie Zhen dissipated a lot.
Xie Yu was very surprised by his arrival, and said, "Why didn't you protect Miss Six, but came here instead?" ”
Yun Lai coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and chest, and said seriously: "Back to the young master's words, I came today to run errands for Miss Zhen." ”
This kid hasn't been beaten for a few days, and he's fat! Xie Yu raised his eyebrows, quietly threw a grape into his mouth, and said, "Let's hear it." ”
Xilai also slowed down the writing movement in his hand, and listened carefully to his movements with his ears sideways.
Yun Lai felt that he had never been taken so seriously, and his mood couldn't help but be a little fluttery, and he pretended to clear his throat again, thinking back to what Xie Zhen had explained to him, and said with a gourd drawing: "Miss Zhen said that the cricket you gave her was eaten by a snake, young master, and she hopes that you will not catch any more crickets in the future, and don't patronize and play, be careful of delaying your studies." ”
"Oh." Xie Yu nodded, glanced at him, and said, "Finished?" ”
Yun Lai was suddenly a little weak by his glance, and only swallowed his saliva secretly, and said, "It's over." ”
"Okay." Xie Yu ate the grapes while saying casually: "Then let me ask you, how did Miss Zhen get into the snake?" ”
"This ......," Yun Lai said, "I don't know about this." Anyway, I didn't put the krait in it. ”
"The krait?" Xie Yu's hand froze, and a cold light like a sharp arrow shot out of his eyes, "Or a poisonous snake?" ”
Yunlai beat a drum in his heart, and some regretted saying something that he shouldn't have said. Looking at the young master's face, eighty percent of him was angry......
"This poisonous snake is staying at Miss Zhen's residence, and you dare to say that you don't know?" Xie Yu said coldly: "Fortunately, the snake today just ate a cricket, next time if another snake bites Miss Zhen, then what should you do?" Will you pay Miss Zhen with your life? ”
The reason why he said that there would be another snake was that there was no doubt about the fate of this krait snake today, because if this snake was still alive now, then Yunlai would not have appeared in front of him under any circumstances.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunlai's knee also knocked on the ground at the same time.
"Subordinates should be damned." He bowed his head in trepidation.
Xilai also put down his pen and got up and knelt on the ground.
Xie Yu snorted lightly, stood up, looked at the two subordinates in front of him, and said coldly: "Both of you get up, don't kneel." One copied the book for me, and the other guarded the young lady, which insulted you and was overkill. ”
The more he said this, the more the two of them didn't dare to relax and get up, and they didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere.
Yunlai felt in his heart that Xilai was really wronged, and he was dragged down by him in vain, but he naturally couldn't say anything good to the young master to intercede for Xi, firstly, he is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and secondly, he and Xilai have been partners for so many years, so they should be blessed and enjoy hardships and punishments together, right?
Xilai didn't mean to complain about Yunlai at all, but lowered his head even more, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates are incompetent, so I can only copy books to share the worries of the young master, I am really afraid." ”
Yun Lai hurriedly followed: "My subordinates can protect Miss Zhen thoroughly, and I don't feel wronged at all, and I will do my best to do my best." ”
Xie Yu's face softened at this time.
"That's it, get up!" He sighed softly and waved his hand.
Now Zi Xilai and Yunlai can't get up, and if they don't get up again, they will inevitably have the meaning of threatening the master with anger.
Xie Yu's eyes scanned back and forth over the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you all want to do something big, and you all envy the Deng seniors who can show their strengths, you always have that opportunity, but not now, the future is long, now you have only taken a few moves first, and the next battle is still interesting!" ”
Xilai and Yunlai's expressions became very serious, they glanced at each other, and answered "yes" in unison.
Xie Yu's face was even more relaxed, he smiled slightly, and became the playful Xie San Gongzi in front of the person again.
"Okay." He laughed, and with a movement of his fingers, he threw a grape high in the air, and then raised his head and opened his mouth to catch it accurately. He bit the grape slowly, and said slowly: "Ah Hao said that if you don't want me to catch crickets, then I won't catch them, anyway, those little fools' silver is easy to earn, and I can still knock them hard without crickets!"
