"W-w-"

A black and white poisonous snake spitting scarlet snake hyacinth stared at Fu Xiaojiu fiercely, and there were several small snakes that had just broken out of its shell beside it.

"Silver, silver krait?"

Fu Xiaojiu's face was no longer bloody, and after saying the name of the silver krait, Fu Xiaojiu held his breath.

"Krait?"

Wan Lin wanted to come to Fu Xiaojiu's side in one step, but he didn't dare to move now.

After Ji Erzhu heard what Fu Xiaojiu said, he quickly looked to see if there were snakes around him, and after confirming that there were no snakes around him, Ji Erzhu said cautiously: "Fu Langzhong, my side is safe, as long as you slowly retreat and don't disturb the silver snake, you'll be fine." ”

But even if Ji Erzhu told Fu Xiaojiu the way to escape, Fu Xiaojiu still didn't dare to move casually.

Because the speed of the poisonous snake was extremely fast when it launched an attack, in case Fu Xiaojiu moved slightly, the silver krait suddenly attacked her.

"Don't be afraid, lady, I have a way."

Wan Lin said softly to Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu asked with a stiff expression, "What way?" ”

Wan Lin looked at the nest of small snakes and said: "It is guarding the little snake, as long as someone hurts the little snake, it will definitely attack the invaders without hesitation." ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he picked up a branch on the ground, and without waiting for Fu Xiaojiu to react, Wan Lin "swished" the branch and threw it next to the little snake.

"Whew!"

The krait immediately attacked the branches.

"Let's go!"

Wan Lin grabbed Fu Xiaojiu's wrist and pulled Fu Xiaojiu to his side.

"Scared the hell out of me!"

Fu Xiaojiu's face was tightly buried in Wan Lin's chest, and he said with palpitations.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wan Lin gently stroked Fu Xiaojiu's hair and calmed her mood.

Seeing that Fu Xiaojiu was out of danger, Ji Erzhu called them softly: "You two come over here, there is still a bush over there." ”

Wan Lin didn't agree immediately, but first asked Fu Xiaojiu's opinion, "Lady, do you still want to continue looking for it?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu raised his head and said with a firm gaze: "Find!" ”

Wan Lin smiled and asked, "Then you're not afraid of encountering snakes again?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu wants to say that she is not afraid of being fake at all, but since she is here, she is unwilling to go back empty-handed.

"I don't believe I'm so unlucky to be able to run into a snake?"

"Don't be afraid, let's go." Wan Lin took Fu Xiaojiu's hand and walked towards Ji Erzhu.

The three of them came to the last bush that they had not found, and Ji Erzhu said: "Let's go separately to find it, if there is no crystal orchid here, I'm afraid there will be no more crystal orchid in the near future." ”

"Hmm." Fu Xiaojiu answered, and bravely burrowed into a bush.

Looking at Fu Xiaojiu's brave and fearless appearance, Wan Lin walked into the bushes without hesitation.

Fu Xiaojiu walked into the bushes and said to himself: "If I encounter a snake again, I will leave immediately, and I will never look for Crystal Orchid!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu carefully stirred with the low and dense leaves of the bushes with a shovel, and his nerves tensed unconsciously.

After rummaging for a while, Fu Xiaojiu suddenly let out another scream.

"Ahh

"What's wrong?"

Wan Lin immediately walked over to Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu looked at his feet in shock and said, "Snake...... Snake! ”

"What?"

Wan Lin exclaimed in disbelief at first, and then accelerated his pace towards Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu was already scared by a snake with black stripes in front of her and sat on the ground, she couldn't believe that she was really so unlucky that she could still encounter a poisonous snake.

Ji Erzhu also rushed over when he heard the sound.

"Lady, you must move!"

Wan Lin walked over to Fu Xiaojiu lightly, and he also saw the poisonous snake at Fu Xiaojiu's feet.

This time, the poisonous snake was too close to Fu Xiaojiu, and Wan Lin's forehead was immediately covered with a layer of cold sweat.

"Don't be afraid, lady, I'm here to save you!"

Wan Lin really couldn't think of any way, so he had to use the stupidest way to save Fu Xiaojiu.

He pulled up his trouser legs, revealing his flesh, and slowly stretched his legs towards the viper.

"What are you doing here?"

Fu Xiaojiu found out that Wan Lin actually wanted to save herself in this way, she didn't have time to be moved, and her face was bloodless in an instant.

"Don't move, that's the only way I can save you!"

Wan Lin's attention was on the poisonous snake, and he was about to send his leg to the poisonous snake.

"Xianggong!"

After Fu Xiaojiu screamed, he didn't know where he got the courage, and kicked at the poisonous snake violently, and the poisonous snake was kicked into the air by her.

"Oh my God!"

When the poisonous snake was kicked up, Fu Xiaojiu found out something.

This poisonous snake turned out to be not a real snake, it turned out to be a snake molt!

"Lady, be careful!"

Wan Lin didn't pay attention to the snake, he only cared about whether Fu Xiaojiu was safe.

"I'm fine, it's a snake, not a poisonous snake! What a false alarm! Fu Xiaojiu's head was also frightened into a layer of cold sweat, and at this time, the snake fell from mid-air.

Fu Xiaojiu stretched out his hand and caught the snake with one hand.

"Is this the Black Snake?"

Ji Erzhu also arrived, and he recognized at a glance what kind of snake the snake in Fu Xiaojiu's hand was.

"The black snake has five poisons, and its snake molt has been heard to have miraculous effects in treating rheumatism, Fu Langzhong, you really got a treasure!"

"So this is a black snake?" Fu Xiaojiu had seen a photo of the black snake before, but he hadn't seen the snake of the black snake, so he didn't recognize it.

Wan Lin said with emotion: "Even if you don't find the crystal orchid, but you can get the snake molt of the black snake, it's worth the trip!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu's mood was like a roller coaster, and her heart almost couldn't stand it in the midst of the fuss.

Looking at the snake molt of the black snake in his hand, Fu Xiaojiu's mood gradually calmed down a little, "It's really unintentional to insert willows and willows, we are here to find Crystal Orchid, and I actually met the snake of the black snake." ”

Wan Lin smiled with relief, "Lady, have you forgotten that you are the reincarnation of Jixing?" You will always have good luck when you turn evil into good fortune. ”

Fu Xiaojiu Snake carefully put it into the back basket, then looked around again, and said to Wan Lin and Ji Erzhu: "I'm afraid there is no crystal orchid here, let's go back." ”

Wan Lin nodded, "I agree with what the lady said, Uncle Ji, let's go back." ”

Ji Erzhu could only say helplessly: "Yes, I'm afraid that the crystal orchids here have been taken care of by me, I'll come back to see them after a while, if I find the crystal orchids, I'll give you a few." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ji."

Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu said in unison.

The three of them returned the way they came, and it was already noon.

"Uncle Ji, where is your home? I'm a little thirsty and want to go to your house to ask for a glass of water. ”

Fu Xiaojiu's mood experienced ups and downs, and he felt very thirsty.

They had already come to the village road, Ji Erzhu looked ahead and said: "My house is on the third house to the right at the second intersection, let's go, if you don't dislike it, you can eat at my house at noon before leaving." ”

Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly said: "How can we dislike it, but that will be too much trouble for you, right?" ”

Ji Erzhu waved his hand again and again, "No trouble, no trouble!" It's that I eat more alone than I eat, and I eat some small vegetables or wild vegetables grown in the garden every day. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said indifferently: "The small vegetables and wild vegetables in the garden are good for the body, you are eating a healthy diet." But if you want to eat meat in the future, I'll send you a few chickens, and you'll be able to eat eggs and chicken. ”

Ji Erzhu said with a smile: "Fulangzhong is really kind-hearted! But it's okay for me to grow some side dishes, I can't raise living creatures, and I'll have to raise them to death. ”

Hearing Ji Erzhu say this, Fu Xiaojiu had no choice.

Ji Erzhu said anxiously: "Every time I send something to Sanniang, she will give me some silver, which is actually enough for me to drink wine and eat meat every day, but I have bad teeth and mouth, and second, I don't want to waste silver." I saved all the money she gave me, and I wanted to buy a decent coffin and bury it in my clothes, and I was satisfied. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said puzzledly: "Your body looks good, why don't you take advantage of the time you live in the world to treat yourself?" Although Ji Sanniang is not your daughter, according to her character, I believe that even if you arrive on that day, she will definitely let you be buried. ”

After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, Wan Lin gently pulled her hand and said in her ear: "Everyone has their own way of living, don't persuade him." ”

Fu Xiaojiu felt that what Wan Lin said made sense, so he stopped talking.

Ji Erzhu smiled after listening to Fu Xiaojiu's words, "Hehe, what Fu Langzhong said makes sense." But when I think of my two daughters who died tragically in the war and famine, and that I can't eat good things when I'm alone at home, I always think of the two of them. ”

Speaking of Ji Erzhu's daughters, Fu Xiaojiu also felt very sad.

Wan Lin was even more indignant, because he couldn't imagine that the rich and prosperous Dachen still had such a place where the people could not make a living.

Wan Lin couldn't help asking, "Where did your daughters get married?" As far as I know, there have been very few wars and famines in Dachen in recent years. ”

Ji Erzhu's gaze turned into the distance and muttered, "They married a pair of cousins, and the cousins' home is in Mocheng. ”

Wan Lin listened and asked puzzledly, "Mocheng? Is that the border over there? How did you marry your daughter so far? ”

Ji Erzhu's voice was a little helpless, "That pair of cousins' family is doing business, and they passed through our village when they were doing business and borrowed it from my house. I saw that the two of them were talented, and their family was not bad, so I married their two daughters to them. I didn't want to go with them. But who would have thought that just three years after my daughters got married, there was a war there, and then there was a famine. My eldest daughter's family died at the hands of the rogue on the way to escape, and the second daughter's family stayed in the city and did not leave, but they all starved to death. However, my eldest son-in-law escaped from the hands of the rogues, and when he returned to the city, he found that his second daughter's family had all starved to death in the house. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Erzhu's tears couldn't stop flowing out.

Fu Xiaojiu also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, while Wan Lin was full of grief and anger, and his teeth itched with anger.

"The border is heavily guarded every year, how can thieves be allowed to harm the people so much? Could it be that the soldiers guarding the border are all decorations? ”

Wan Lin really can't figure it out.

"Forget it, it's all over, let's not mention it. This is my home. ”

A few people were talking, and they came to the door of Ji Erzhu's house unconsciously.

Ji Erzhu pushed open the courtyard door, and was just about to enter the courtyard, when a man's rough and arrogant voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Old man Ji, I'm blocking you!"
