Chapter 70: The Coral Snake
An Sheng lowered his head, still a little embarrassed, and aggrievedly said that he met Xue Xiuliang on the road yesterday, and then the Xue family saw that the matter was revealed, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, set up a trick, and said that he sold himself to Gonggong Wen.
Leng Nanxian's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, twisting into a pimple between the eyebrows, his thin lips were pursed, and hot anger came out from the end of his nose.
"That Father-in-law Wen is Wen Qing, the deputy head of the Respect Office?"
An Sheng nodded hatefully: "It's him!" ”
Leng Nanxian's lips suddenly flashed a touch of coolness: "A dog slave has become a climate, and it is simply greasy to do such a hurtful thing behind the master's back." ”
"Today, An Sheng escaped from his clutches, and I don't know how many innocent women from good families he will have to harm, and he will really die innocently. It's a pity that I can't do it and can't get rid of it! ”
"You said you used Yu Jingyun's nothing-for-nothing card to scare Wen Qing away?"
An Sheng nodded: "Fortunately, he is well-informed and knows the jade pendant, otherwise An Sheng is really helpless, so he can only use this scissors to fight for his life with them, and the fish will die and the net will be broken." ”
An Sheng felt that the scissors were resting in his sleeve, heavy, and awkward, so he took them out casually.
Leng Nanxian snatched the scissors, shook his hand, and plunged the scissors into the bookshelf on the side, trembling.
"Desperate at every turn, how many lives do you have to fight?"
An Sheng was reprimanded by him, not only was he not wronged, but his heart was warm, and he smiled flatteringly: "With the protection of the master, I used to be, but I will definitely not in the future." ”
Leng Nanxian glanced at her angrily, her thin lips opened lightly, and she teased three more words: "Sycophant." ”
An Sheng smiled like a yellow sunflower, shining in spring.
"I believe that Wen Qing categorically doesn't dare to trouble you again, but what about your stepmother? Will you give up? Leng Nanxian asked.
An Sheng shook his head, sighed lightly, and joked lightly: "Life is endless, fighting is not endless, she suffered such a dumb loss today, she must be angry on me." ”
Leng Nanxian was silent for a moment: "Go home early today, Master will go back with you and make decisions for you." ”
An Sheng was taken aback and flatly refused: "No, Master." ”
"Why?"
"That Xia Zixian was originally hot-eyed, and secretly made it bad several times, if she knew that the master was so protective of the apprentice, she would definitely be annoyed and angry, and she didn't know what conspiracy was behind it. She doesn't know the origin of my relationship with Yu Shizi now, she can't figure out the truth and fiction, and she believes that she won't act rashly, and she can deal with it by herself. If there is really a danger one day, I will definitely ask Master for help. ”
Leng Nanxian thought for a while, he was just an outsider after all, and nodded to her: "That's fine." ”
An Sheng felt like an abandoned child, but now that he had finally found his relatives and had something to rely on, he felt warm, and couldn't help but say sincerely: "Thank you, Master, I know that Master is the best for An Sheng." ”
Leng Nanxian seemed to be stunned by An Sheng's praise, hesitated slightly, turned around again, took out a hollow box, and put it on the desk.
"Open it and take a look."
An Sheng was inexplicable: "What kind of baby?" ”
Leng Nanxian pursed his thin lips: "Open it and you'll know." ”
An Sheng lowered his head and gently picked up the lid of the box, he couldn't help but be curious, glanced inside, and with a slip of his hand, the lid fell down with a "snap".
"Snake!" She couldn't help but exclaim.
The trick was successful, and the smile on Leng Nanxian's face deepened: "Are you afraid?" ”
An Sheng was shocked, patted his heart, but said stiffly: "I'm not afraid, but I just saw it coldly and was taken aback." ”
Open the lid again and look at it with courage. The small snake has a blue-gray body with fine scales, and its head and tail are red in color, which is particularly eye-catching.
It was also startled, and its whole body was distorted, raising its head, swallowing the letter, and making a "hissing" sound.
"W-what kind of snake is this?"
It's false to say that you're not afraid, every woman is afraid of this cold, soft, slippery thing. But this little thing, An Sheng felt, seemed to be in his eyes.
"The rarest coral snake."
"Coral snakes?" An Sheng looked at it again, and felt that it didn't seem to have the coldness of a snake, but because of the two rednesses, it looked like a charming and graceful girl.
"Do you dare to touch it?"
As soon as An Sheng gritted his teeth, he stretched out his hand and was stopped by Leng Nanxian: "You really touched it?" Not afraid of being toxic? Most of the colorful and beautiful things in this world are poisonous. ”
An Sheng smiled "grin": "Anyway, there is a master, what am I afraid of?" ”
Leng Nanxian smiled helplessly and shook his head: "This coral snake is the most poisonous in the world, once it is bitten, it will immediately dizzy and paralyzed, which can be fatal in an instant." ”
"So powerful?!" An Sheng was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he exclaim.
"This is what your master got when he went out to travel, and he took the trouble to train it, and he regarded it as a treasure, and specially brought it back for his master's self-defense. He also deliberately ordered Qianzhou to cut down all the trees in the medicine house and replace them with green bamboos. ”
Leng Nanxian stepped back, a few feet away from the snake, his face full of helplessness.
"It's just a poisonous snake, it's common to see in the forest, it's not so unusual, is it?"
"This snake is different from other venomous snakes in that it is highly venomous in the red part of its head, and it is the antidote to its tail. If it bites a person, cut off the tail and feed, and the toxicity will be solved immediately. ”
"It's amazing!" An Sheng rubbed his hands in a hurry, and the only remaining fear disappeared: "Why do you want to lose it?" Such a good baby, and the master keeps it in a box, how to defend yourself? ”
Leng Nanxian's face turned red, he put his fist to his lips, and coughed lightly: "That's good, insurance." ”
An Sheng looked at Leng Nanxian with a playful expression, then looked at the coral snake, and smiled: "Master, isn't he afraid of it?" ”
"Nonsense!" Leng Nanxian denied it: "This little thing is just ...... It's tricky and too troublesome. ”
Seeing him defending, An Sheng looked embarrassed, and it was clear that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and his heart suddenly blossomed, and he grinned: "Then let the apprentice raise it for the master, right?" ”
Leng Nanxian nodded solemnly: "That's exactly what I mean." ”
An Sheng asked with a sad face: "However, it is highly poisonous, how can I raise it?" ”
Leng Nanxian turned around, took a small box from the bookshelf, and handed it to An Sheng: "Take this medicine powder with water, take it for three days, and this snake will not attack you." After you are familiar with your smell and confess the Lord, you will slowly acclimatize it. ”
An Sheng suddenly felt like a treasure, and in his hand, the grievances of the right talent had already disappeared.
Leng Nanxian still told uneasily: "This snake is highly venomous, if it is not for life, remember not to indiscriminately hurt people." ”
An Sheng is naturally busy responding, with this coral snake protection, it is more life protection, how can he not be overjoyed?
After the rain and the sunny day, and because of the blessing of misfortune, An Sheng stayed in the study in the afternoon, like a fish in water, greedily included the "Strange Recipe" he dreamed of.
Leng Nanxian sat not far from her, turning the book with her left hand and holding the pen with her right hand, neither of them spoke, only hearing the sound of the pages turning gently, and the rustle of Leng Nanxian's pen walking on the rice paper, like eating mulberry leaves.
The sunlight outside the window sneaks into the room, slowly slanting eastward, silently, and time is peaceful.
Leng Nanxian raised the pen, quietly glanced at An Sheng, and saw that she was suddenly happy, sometimes frowning slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and smiling, all of which were all in style.
Leng Nanxian thought: No matter how strong An Sheng is, she is just a child after all, just sixteen years old, and other people's daughters are still in the arms of their parents. She wanted to cry, she wanted to laugh, but then it disappeared and she didn't take it to heart.
What a pure, transparent and strong heart does this require?
