The wire snake, also known as the blind snake, has this nickname because its scales cover its already small eyes and can barely see. Compared with ordinary snakes, it is pitifully small, only three or four inches long, like an earthworm, but it is much more flexible than earthworms, and usually inhabits the soil.

Clematis are generally non-venomous, but there is a species of clemat that has blue scales and armor that is highly venomous, and only a little bit of venom in its teeth can kill people. The one that appeared in front of Ling Ruo's eyes at this moment was this poisonous cleatic snake. Fortunately, it happened to be seen by Han Yan, Wen Ruyan reacted in time, and was not chaotic in the face of danger, otherwise once there was a big move, this iron wire snake would come up and take a bite, and the child in Ling Ruo's womb, which was closest to it, would be in danger.

The serpent was still swimming there slowly, as if it hadn't noticed that the person in front of it was gone, or that it had eaten a full meal before, so it was not in a hurry to forage for food.

At this time, Su Yu found a small servant who was working nearby, and Wen Ruyan hurriedly said: "Quick, go and kill that snake, be careful, don't disturb it, this snake is poisonous." ”

The little servant agreed, picked up a branch from the ground, leaned up cautiously, estimated that the length of the branch was almost the same, and stabbed it hard, he had some eyesight, and just stabbed a stick on the seven inches of the wire snake, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape.

On the other side, Su Yu found some stones out of nowhere, and smashed them on the head of the wire snake with the boldness, although seven or eight out of ten were thrown empty, but the wire snake was small after all, and it was not the kind with hard bones and hard skin, so it only stopped moving after being smashed a few times.

After making sure that it was dead, the little maid picked it up and asked Ling Ruo what they were going to do with it, Wen Ruyan was just about to say something to let her throw it away, when Ling Ruo said first: "It's okay to put it aside, you can go down." ”

"Eniang, you hug Hanyan so tightly, it's uncomfortable!" Hanyan struggled gently, Wen Ruyan remembered that she was still holding Hanyan, quickly put her down, and said with palpitations: "Hanyan, you remember, if you encounter a snake in the future, no matter how big or small, you must stay away, in case you accidentally get close, you must walk slowly, don't be in a hurry, so that the snake will not bite you." ”

"Hanyan remembered, just like Eniang just asked Aunt Ling to do." Hanyan is very smart and understands it as soon as he listens to it.

Wen Ruyan touched her little face and said, "Be good, you go back with the nurse first, and the mother and your Aunt Ling will talk for a while." ”

After Hanyan left, Wen Ruyan said to Ling Ruo, who was playing with the corpse of the clematic snake with a tree branch: "I have been in the mansion for many years, and I have never seen a snake infested, but now such a highly poisonous clematic snake suddenly appeared, so strange. ”

Ling Ruo smiled, threw down the branch and clapped his hands, "It seems that some people can't wait anymore. ”

Wen Ruyan was startled, raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister is talking about ......"

Ling Ruosenran nodded, "Except for this reason, I can't think of anything else, in the past few months, I have been careful and guarded, and there is Imperial Doctor Xu asking for a pulse for me, so these people have not been able to find a chance." Now that I am getting older, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with in the future, so I came up with such a poisonous plan; Wire snakes are small and inconspicuous, and it's easy to ignore the past. I believe that there is more than one snake hidden in the house. ”

"Good and vicious thoughts, this snake does not distinguish between relatives and relatives, which one is caught and bites, they do this, will not put the whole house in danger." Wen Ruyan said angrily, she was really scared to death.

Ling Ruo stroked his silver-rimmed sleeves and thought, "If you can come up with this method, and you have the guts, there are only two or three people in the entire palace, but for a while, you can't decide which one." ”

"This can be traced slowly, the most important thing at the moment is to clear the wire snake hidden in the palace, otherwise I don't know when it will come again, but not every time you can have today's good luck." Speaking of this, Wen Ruyan frowned again, "It's just that this wire snake is small and hidden in the soil, how can you find it?" ”

"This matter has to be handled by the fourth master himself." Ling Ruo looked at the dazzling summer day, no matter how dazzling the sun was, it could not dispel the darkness that shrouded this palace.

The human heart has been twisted into the most terrible thing in the world in this mansion.

At night, Yin Zhen, who was reading official documents in the study, asked about various matters in the house today and Ling Ruo's situation as usual.

"There is nothing abnormal in the mansion, but Ling Fujin was a little frightened." Don't look at Zhou Yong following Yinzhen all day long, and a bunch of people under him pay attention to every move of the palace for him.

Whether it is a court affair or a family matter, Yinzhen requires the people around him to control it at any time, and report it to himself immediately if there is an abnormality.

"What's wrong with her?" As soon as Yinzhen heard this, he immediately put down the lake pen in his hand and asked with concern.

"The slave heard from the little guy below, when Ling Fujin and Wen Fujin's mother and daughter were walking by the vegetable pond today, they encountered an iron wire snake, although they didn't bite it, but Ling Fujin was still frightened, and he has been lying in the house since he came back and has never gone to the ground." Zhou Yong was able to speak in an orderly manner, and the whole thing was clearly described in a few words.

"Cleavage? How can there be a wire snake in Fuzhong? Did you bite someone? Yin Zhen's reaction was the same as when Wen Ruyan and they first saw it, they were surprised and inexplicable, this mansion is taken care of every day, he has opened his teeth to build a mansion for so many years, and he has never heard of snakes, and there are inevitably a few rats.

"This minion didn't know, according to the minion's guess, it was probably mixed with flower mud or other mud, and the wire snake was small and not easy to find. As for the bite, I haven't heard of it yet. Zhou Yong said respectfully.

Yin Zhen thought for a while and ordered: "While there is nothing to do now, as soon as tomorrow dawns, you immediately find a snake repellent to drive all the wire snakes away, so as to save people panic." ”

After Zhou Yong agreed, he got up again and strode out, Zhou Yong knew that he must be going to see Ling Fujin, so he hurriedly followed behind.

When I arrived at Jingsiju, I found that all the lights there were lit, even in the courtyard, in addition to the street lamps on both sides, there were also hanging one after another silk red lanterns, illuminating the entire Jingsiju as if it was daytime.

Yin Zhen saw that his eyebrows were slightly twisted, he is a person who doesn't like to waste, some unnecessary things can be saved, and now it's time to go to bed, why do you have to light so many lights? Usually, I didn't see Ling Ruo so wasteful.

Just thinking about it, I happened to see Xiao Luzi come out with a lighted lantern, and saw Yinzhen standing at the foot of the steps, and hurriedly ran over and knelt on one knee, "The slave greets the prince, the prince is auspicious." ”
