Chapter 7: The Fierce Miss Li
A pretty little daughter-in-law volunteered to step forward and asked Steward Mo: "Who is going to the second courtyard?" I'll take you there. I used to greet guests in the second courtyard. β
Li Zhuohang didn't recognize it, and he didn't look like a servant, it should be a female dependent, so he said: "I'm tired sister-in-law." β
Whoever it is, it's always nice to be respectful.
The little daughter-in-law's face was hot, her expression was a little flustered, and she said, "My family, Brother Hang doesn't need to be polite." I ......" Speaking of this, he found that Li Zhuohang had already turned around to talk to Mrs. Jiang, so he had to turn to Steward Mo.
Steward Mo hurriedly pointed to a few people for her.
And the daughter-in-law took them with her.
Here, Li Zhuohang instructed Mrs. Jiang again: "Please take the trouble of sister-in-law, work hard to help take care of Yuzhen, and I will go to Yao'er." β
Mrs. Jiang was busy and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about going to find it, Yuzhen has me to take care of it." "Knowing that he was planning for the worst, in case something happened to Li Hanyao, Jiang Yu was really unbearable, so he asked her to take care of her, not to call her regardless of etiquette.
Li Zhuohang took one step and three steps, and his attention to his wife and daughter made all the women envious. Everyone looked at the couple, it was clear that they were filial piety, wrapped in white, but they were like a fairy couple, not stained with red dust.
Jiang Yu was really anxious, and when she saw that Li Zhuohang had finished arranging and leading the two little guys to rush in, she also followed closely behind, shouting "Yao'er" all the way.
As soon as I arrived at the sixth courtyard, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "In the small Buddha hall!" β
Li Zhuohang hurriedly ran, and Mowen Mowu was left behind by him.
The small Buddha hall is the place where Mrs. Li retreats, in the southeast corner of Li's house, you can pass through from the seventh courtyard, you can also turn around from the ninth courtyard, the location is remote and remote, and everyone is strange to look for this half a day.
As soon as Li Zhuohang entered the patio, he saw that there were many people inside, and someone shouted, "Call the old lady quickly!" Then one of the maids ran out and almost hit him.
He asked, "What about the girl?" β
The girl was overjoyed and said, "The girl is inside." β
Li Zhuohang's heart suddenly: Since Yao'er is inside, why don't you bring it out? Also, what are those people doing around the entrance of the Buddha Hall?
Just listen to the gossip of those people:
"Pull hard!"
"The more you pull it, the tighter it gets tighter!"
"Scratch your head, scratch your head, pinch seven inches!"
"Take a knife and slash!"
"No! I can't bite the girl! If you don't worry about the girl, the old lady is afraid of it? β
"The master is here!"
Li Zhuohang couldn't listen anymore, because he heard that his daughter was in danger, so he didn't ask, stepped forward and rudely pulled away from the crowd, and looked at it-
It was as if someone had grabbed him by the throat, and he suddenly lost his voice.
Li Hanyao sat under the offering table, with a gray-skinned and black-spotted snake wrapped around her body, the thickest part was as thick as her little arm, and her feet were wrapped around four or five times, and her two small hands were holding the snake's head, because of the force and the tightening of her body, her little face was purple and swollen.
A mother-in-law wrapped her hands around her hands to help her strengthen to prevent the snake's head from breaking free; A daughter-in-law is pulling the tail of a snake and turning in the opposite direction; A daughter-in-law was pulling the snake's body, wanting to let the snake loosen up, for fear that Li Hanyao would suffocate.
Everyone else was around, but they couldn't intervene.
Li Zhuohang paused for a few breaths before coming back to his senses, did not dare to say a word, and raised his hand to signal the maids and daughters-in-law to be silent, for fear of alarming Li Hanyao to let go and be eaten by the snake, but he forgot that as soon as he came in, someone shouted "Master is here".
He slowed his pace and stepped forward quickly.
He wanted to take over the mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law said, "The master can't do it!" I can't loosen! The girl's hand is small, if I let go, what will this snake do if it bites the girl? She also wanted to be faithful to the Lord, but she really didn't know how.
Li Hanyao was entangled in the snake and couldn't get out, she was very annoyed in her heart, and vowed not to let go of the snake. The maids and servants came, and she was not well; Hearing that her father came in, she doubled her courage, was ruthless, lowered her head and bit under the snake's neck, exerting her strength to eat, "woo", and her little face was hideous.
The snake's body suddenly twisted and struggled, and clamped Li Hanyao tighter.
Li Zhuohang: "......"
Maids and daughters-in-law: "......"
There was silence for a moment, and everyone shouted in unison.
Li Zhuohang broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and used his hands to strengthen another layer of strength outside his mother-in-law's hand, making sure to imprison the snake's head, while thinking nervously.
The Jiang clan, who was one step behind, rushed over and almost fainted when he saw this situation.
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly supported her, "Sister, don't worry! "When I saw the situation inside, my hands and feet were weak, and I couldn't stand steadily.
The left and right maids supported her aunt and sister-in-law.
Mother Wang, who was waiting for the old lady, separated from the crowd and looked at it, slapped her legs and shouted: "Ouch, you can't bite, girl!" It's a house snake! Raised by an old lady! How did you entangle the girl well? Then he rebuked the serpent: "Not yet! This is the old lady's granddaughter! I can't even recognize you personally, I have raised you for so many years! He comforted the pale-faced Jiang again: "Don't be afraid, wife, domestic snakes don't bite." He said to Li Zhuohang: "Master, this snake is not poisonous. He also called Li Hanyao: "Girl, you let it go first." β
Many of the maids and daughters-in-law present were outside with Li Zhuohang and his wife, and they didn't know the nature of the snake, so they immediately retorted to Wang's mother: "Didn't you see the girl being entangled in the snake?" And the old lady raised it, it's also a snake! Tell the girl to let go first, if it goes crazy and bites the girl, even if it is not poisonous, it will be terrible! β
Mother Wang hurriedly said: "No, no! β
She was almost certain in her heart that it was Li Hanyao, the little ancestor, who provoked the snake first, otherwise, the snake would never attack Li Hanyao. This snake has lived in the Li family's house for several years, squirming around, and has never hurt anyone.
Li Zhuohang asked: "Is this really raised by an old lady?" β
Wang's mother said: "It was raised by the old lady and fed eggs." It's been raised for several years. Stay under this offering table all day long. Sometimes the old lady didn't come, so she ran to the front to find the old lady and hid under the old lady's bed. If the snake is prosperous, it can't be killed. Look, we don't have a single mouse in our house. β
Li Zhuohang listened to Wang's mother's words, and felt that the danger of this snake was much lower, so he lowered his head and discussed with Li Hanyao: "Yao'er, don't bite." Daddy caught it. You let go and let Daddy pull it off. β
Li Hanyao still refused to let go.
She bit harderβ
The snake raised by her grandmother dares to bite her, and she must not be disciplined?
Li Zhuohang was helpless, and finally understood: It was not that everyone couldn't save his daughter just now, but that her daughter didn't let go at all, and now she doesn't let go.
Just as he was about to coax again, the snake suddenly deflated, his body loosened, and he fell down on his stomach, causing the daughter-in-law who was dragging the snake's tail to overexert her head and fall to the ground.
The crowd cheered: "Loosened!" β
Li Zhuohang hurriedly shouted, "Yao'er let go!" β
Only then did Li Hanyao loosen her mouth and raised her head.
The mother-in-law felt that the snake gave up struggling, and took the opportunity to push Li Hanyao's hand down, and then dragged the snake head away, and the elder dragged a large one to the ground, looking scared to death.
Li Zhuohang hugged his daughter and held it in his arms.
Jiang also pounced, and the husband and wife opened Li Hanyao's little hand to inspect it, only to see that the hand was red and swollen, numb and unable to move.
Jiang shouted urgently: "Hurry up and get the medicine!" β
Li Zhuohang said: "There is also the body." β
