Liu Xuan held his breath and climbed towards the top of the tree little by little.

A few feet above his head was a bird's nest. Just as the sun was setting, Liu Xuan clearly saw a pair of birds falling into the nest.

And now, it's dark. He hid himself among the leaves, and climbed up little by little.

His hands and feet moved slowly, slowly, trying not to make any noise that would disturb the birds at the top of the trees.

The last shirt left on his upper body had also been untied and held tightly in his hands.

Three-foot ...... Two-foot ...... One Foot ......

There was still no commotion in the nest.

Strike!

At the last foot distance, Liu Xuan flew violently, and the short shirt pinched in his right hand also flew down towards the bird's nest like a big net.

The violent Liu Xuan instantly alarmed the birds in the nest. However, just as they were about to fly, the short shirt was already shrouded in the entire nest, and then tightly wrapped around by Liu Xuan. The soft shirts kept being bumped out by the birds, but they were no longer able to break out of the cage, and could only scream in the nest.

Liu Xuan checked the bird's nest in his hand. It sounded like there were four or five eggs in addition to the two birds.

The harvest is not bad.

Liu Xuan smiled with satisfaction, held the tree trunk with one hand, and slid down to the ground.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he pulled a small opening from the edge of the shirt that covered the birds' nests, put his hand into the nest, and pinched the necks of the two birds.

With a crisp sound, the necks of the two birds were broken.

Liu Xuan lifted his shirt with satisfaction, and through the sparse moonlight cast through the leaves, he saw that in addition to the two dead birds, there were five round and smooth eggs in the nest.

Still, the number is a bit small. Even if it is to fill the stomach of my younger brother alone, I am afraid that it will not be enough.

Liu Xuan was hesitating whether to take it back for his younger brother to eat now, or to find a few more bird's nests, when there was a sudden rustling sound in the bushes at his feet.

Before he could react, Liu Xuan saw a hare leaping out of the long grass, and then—

He hit his head on the trunk of a tree, moved his ears twice, and then passed out on the ground and did not move.

After being stunned for a moment, Liu Xuan stepped on the hare in a frenzy, and after confirming that it could not escape, he lifted the rabbit with his ears.

Holding the bird's nest in one hand and the hare in the other, Liu Xuan walked in the direction he came.

This hare is fat, weighing at least a dozen pounds. Even if there is no bird's nest, dinner for two people is solved at this time. Tonight's luck was surprisingly good.

When Kankan walked to the edge of the woods, Liu Xuan suddenly heard a scream full of terror from ahead.

And that voice is my younger brother Liu Xiu!

Liu Xuan's heart suddenly chuckled, and he ran forward as fast as crazy.

……

Liu Xiu began to count.

He could only count to a hundred. After more than a hundred, he lost count.

However, in the little Liu Xiu's heart, one hundred is a very big number.

So, when the count reaches a hundred, my brother will definitely be able to come back!

Full of such hope, Liu Xiu stretched out her hand to cover her eyes and counted them in a childish voice.

One...... Two...... Three......

Forty-five...... Forty-six......

Ninety-nine...... Hundred!

Finally, count to a hundred!

Liu Xiu excitedly put down his hand, opened his eyes, and looked ahead.

But the expected brother did not come out of the woods with food. His eyes were still empty, silent.

Liu Xiu flattened her mouth, and her heart was filled with a huge sense of loneliness and loss

Why...... Brother hasn't come back yet?

Just when Xiao Liu Xiu was about to cry, he suddenly found that something was squirming in the distance in the corner of his eye.

Moreover, it seems to be getting closer to oneself little by little.

It's just that in the dim moonlight, Liu Xiu couldn't see what it was.

Liu Xiu nervously squeezed his brother's robe and put it in his arms. The smell of his brother on the robe can add a little security to him.

The wriggling thing was getting closer. It wasn't until he got close to Liu Xiu's body that he could see clearly the triangular sharp head on the slender body.

That's a snake!

A poisonous snake spitting red letters and swimming towards Liu Xiu a little bit!

Liu Xiu's eyes widened, watching the snake slowly approach, a chill had risen from his feet to the top of his head, and his body was also densely covered with goosebumps.

He instinctively wanted to get up and run away into the distance. But as soon as he stood up, he remembered his brother's advice before leaving.

"Remember, don't run around, just wait here for my brother to come back."

When my brother left, I made an appointment with myself with a smile!

So, Liu Xiu's small steps that had just taken stopped again.

If I run away, my brother won't be able to find me......

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and stood firmly under the tree.

"I can't see Ah Xiu, I can't see Ah Xiu, I can't see Ah Xiu, I can't see Ah Xiu......"

Liu Xiu kept silently thinking in his heart, staring closely at the snake that was still approaching, and his head was already full of beads of sweat.

And his prayers didn't seem to be of much use.

As the snake approached, under the moonlight, the red letter that was constantly spit out and withdrawn became clearer and clearer, and you could even see the slender pupils in those eyes, which were constantly flashing with a cold cold light.

Approach...... Approach......

When the snake swam to Liu Xiu's feet, he didn't even have the strength to pull his legs and run away, so he could only watch the snake climb up to his instep, to his knees, and then to his chest......

The snake's head finally rubbed against Liu Xiu's neck, and even the fishy smell went straight into the nostrils.

Two tears, mixed with fear and despair, slipped from Liu Xiu's eyes.

And the scream in his chest could no longer be suppressed, piercing the silent sky.

The sudden burst of screams also seemed to frighten the venomous snake.

When Liu Xiu rushed out of the woods, he saw the two shiny fangs biting down on Liu Xiu's neck.

"Ah Xiu !!"

Liu Xuan jumped forward, dropped the bird's nest and hare in his hand, and flew towards his younger brother, and while he was in the air, he also pulled out a short knife from his waist.

The cold light flashed, and the blade grazed Liu Xiu's skin. Blood splattered out, and the snake's head had hit the ground.

After slashing with a knife, Liu Xuan's left hand also grabbed the tail of the poisonous snake and threw it far away.

But when his gaze fell on his brother's neck, his heart sank.

On the tender skin, there were already two tooth marks.

Liu Xuan's heart seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss.
