Chapter 22: The Snake Strikes

The one who opened her mouth was Yunxi, who was barely standing on the side, and when she heard with her own ears that Xiao Lei promised to marry Shi Manman, the whole person fell into a kind of anxiety and madness. At this moment, seeing Shi Manman was like seeing a mortal enemy, and when he heard the maid say that Shi Manman raised snakes, he didn't think about it, so he thought that it was a snake raised by Shi Manman that bit Xiao Jin.

The Xiao family naturally has gardeners who manage the flowers and plants, and they will definitely not allow snakes to appear in the flowers. Even if it is non-toxic, it will frighten the master and lady of the family, and the consequences are not something they can bear.

Moreover, the place where Xiao Jin had an accident was in the flowers separated from the wall of the shallow residence, and everyone seemed to feel quite reasonable when they heard Yunxi say this, and their gaze at Shi Manman also changed a little.

"Nonsense!" Xiao Lei, who hurried over after hearing that the eldest sister was bitten by a snake, happened to hear the black water that Yunxi poured on the stone vines, and saw everyone's expressions change slightly, and immediately scolded him.

"Without evidence, how can you easily say such a thing, do you know that your words will kill people?!" Xiao Lei asked Yunxi sharply, the girl who was once innocent in her eyes had only been seen for a few months, and why did her words become so sour.

In Yunxi's impression, Xiao Lei has always been gentle and elegant, smiling like nephrite, and speaking like a spring breeze. I have never seen him speak harshly, and his aura is like a sharpened sword. She was sharp and good at quibbling, but she was irritated by Xiao Lei's words and couldn't refute it for a while. What's more, her heart was twisted and broken by Xiao Lei's attitude.

"What are you yelling about!" Xiao Yuan had long wanted to find an excuse to send Shi Manman, and now there was a great reason to appear in front of him, of course he had to make good use of it.

"Miss Shi, please save Jin'er. This is the end of the matter. Xiao Yuan's words almost determined that it was the snake that bit Xiao Jin. Xiao Yuan's words made several people present frown, Yunxi was dissatisfied with Xiao Yuan's way of handling this matter, and Xiao Lei only believed Yunxi's words because his father believed it, if he explained more, it would seem that he wanted to cover it up, and he had to think about how to solve this matter.

Shi Manman's ignorance is because she is unfamiliar with the world, which does not mean that she is ignorant. She understood Xiao Yuan's words, she didn't know how to explain them, and shook her head bluntly: "I can't help it." ”

"If you can save Lei'er, you will know some medical skills, why can't you save Jin'er, don't you have a ......" The word purpose was still in Xiao Yuan's mouth, and Xiao Lei immediately interrupted Xiao Yuan's words.

"I have something to ask the doctor." Xiao Lei's voice overshadowed Xiao Yuan's voice.

"Childe, please speak." When the old doctor was checking his pulse, he couldn't concentrate on breaking his pulse due to the argument of several people in the house. For fear that they would ask him the result after the argument, he would not be able to answer. Xiao Lei's questioning just solved his dilemma.

"Can the old gentleman know what kind of poisonous snake bitten my sister was?" Xiao Lei asked.

"Based on the old man's years of experience, it is inferred that Miss Xiao should have been bitten by a tabby snake. This is the last time they are active, and they are often seen in the mountains and forests. A few days ago, a hunter went into the mountains and was bitten, and he also had symptoms like Miss Xiao. The old doctor confidently stated his judgment.

"Is there a way out?" Liu Yemei hurriedly asked.

The old doctor pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and his expression made Liu Yemei think that Xiao Jin's condition was extraordinary, and his anxiety was written on his face. After a while, the old doctor said: "The toxicity of the tabby snake is not violent, seeing that Ling Yuan's wound is shallow, the symptoms are mild and poisonous blood is released, the old man prescribes a prescription for blood clearing and detoxification, and it can be cured in three days." ”

The old doctor's silence was not at all because Xiao Jin's condition was serious, but because the Xiao family invited him to treat the disease, but in front of him, he asked a girl who had not dried up to ask for an antidote, where did this leave him?

Hearing the old doctor's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, but Yunxi was still unwilling to let go of Shi Manman: "Let Miss Shi take out the snake and see if it is the culprit who bit Miss!" What used to be a crisp voice now sounds so sharp.

After listening to the old doctor's words, Xiao Lei's anxious expression was completely relaxed, seeing that everyone wanted to see the appearance of the little hooked snake so much, and they would know about the existence of the little hooked snake sooner or later, so they simply let them all see it today, so as not to always talk about the little hooked snake in the future.

"Vine, let the dragon out and show them." Xiao Lei winked at Shi Manman, his eyes full of banter.

Yunxi heard Xiao Lei's gentle call by Shi Manman's name, and his big eyes almost erupted with jealousy. If it weren't for the heart-rending pain of her knees as long as she moved slightly, she couldn't help but step forward to scratch the cold face of Hua Shi Man.

Her attention was completely on Xiao Lei and Shi Manman, but she didn't know that all her mood swings were watched by Huan Yan beside her. Huan Yan looked at Yunxi with a jealous face, and snorted coldly with disdain, his eyes full of disdain.

Shi Manman looked at Xiao Lei in puzzlement at first, until his playful smile was in full view, and she suddenly understood Xiao Lei's intentions at this time.

secretly explained that the little hooked snake wanted to behave like other snakes, and after getting the guarantee of the little hooked snake, Shi Manman took out the little hooked snake coiled on his wrist with confidence.

Like all animals in a strange environment for the first time, the little hooked snake immediately coiled itself in the palm of her hand as soon as it came out of the cuffs of the stone vines, raising its flat head and spitting letters, as if to be wary of everything around her.

When a few maids saw the dark and gloomy appearance of the little hooked snake, they couldn't help but exclaim and immediately covered their mouths. The people who were closer to the stone vine immediately retreated, as if the stone vine was a plague god.

"Can the old doctor see that this is a tabby?" Xiao Lei was still standing beside Shi Manman, not frightened by the "momentum" of the little hooked snake. He knew that the fierce-looking black snake beside him was a complete crybaby.

"This ...... This is ......" The old god's doctor saw the appearance of the little hooked snake, and was so shocked that he almost tripped over himself.

"The old man has never seen a snake all black. The tabby snake may be mistaken for black when the light is not obvious, but it is too different from this natural black. According to the old man's many years of experience, this snake is far more poisonous than a tabby, as long as it is touched with venom...... You can be killed instantly. The old doctor said as he stayed out of the range of the little hooked snake.

The old doctor's words made the people present change color when they heard it, but the stone vines with a still indifferent face and Xiao Lei, who knew that he was like this, looked as usual.

"Such a vicious thing, what is the intention of you to carry it with you!" Xiao Yuan remembered that Liu Yemei was about to touch the stone vine just now, and glanced at the other party in fear. Liu Yemei was also as shocked as everyone else, but there was no embarrassed fear in his eyes. This made Xiao Yuan very satisfied, and Liu Yemei at this time did not lose his demeanor.
