Chapter 11: The Source of the Viper
"Sister?" Just when Su Xiaojin was thinking about all this, Su Xiaojin also suddenly woke up, and when he noticed a familiar smell around him, he knew that it was his sister, so he called out a sentence.
"Hey, Xiaoqian woke up, did you sleep well?"
"When my sister wasn't there just now, did anyone else come to the house?" Su Xiaojin didn't want to tell Su Xiaoqian everything about Fang Cai, for fear of scaring him.
But after all, he still couldn't rest assured of his brother's safety, so he cautiously asked Su Xiaoqian this question.
"I ...... I'm not sure if anyone has ever been, but I just smelled a nice smell and fell asleep. When I wake up again, it's now. ”
"Sister, is that what happened?" Su Xiaoqian vaguely felt that Su Xiaojin's mood was different from the past, so he still asked with concern.
"It's nothing, Xiao Qian stays here obediently, and my sister will come back in a while. Remember, if you encounter danger, you immediately shout loudly and attract the neighbors and Aunt Wang to come and help. ”
After Su Xiaojin repeatedly told Su Xiaoqian, he went out with the sack of poisonous snakes that he had taken by himself.
The small village where Su Xiaojin is located is really not big, with the residual memory of Su Xiaojin who died in this life and his gradual familiarity with the village over the years, Su Xiaojin knows that the shop that sells snakes here and has the ability to sell so many poisonous snakes at one time is the family surnamed Huang at the end of the village.
To say that so many snakes were caught by others in the mountains by themselves, it would be fine if they were non-poisonous, but the snakes in Su Xiaojin's hands were all highly poisonous, and ordinary people would definitely not have the courage to catch them.
Therefore, Su Xiaojin was sure that this must have been bought in the store.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaojin quickened his pace and walked towards the end of the village, so that he could take precautions as soon as possible so as not to put his younger brother Su Xiaoqian in danger next time.
Su Xiaojin walked straight along the path of the small village, and sure enough, he saw the lantern on the last small room in front of him with yellow letters written on it, and he immediately knew that this was his destination.
As soon as Su Xiaojin entered the door, he smelled a very strong smell, and when he got closer, he saw that there were really many kinds of snakes in cages of all sizes, constantly spitting snake letters, and showing off their wanton appearance.
Snakes like to be cool, so it is very cool in this room, but so many snakes are crawling around in front of Su Xiaojin's eyes, and Su Xiaojin, who is used to seeing big scenes, is really a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he just wants to ask things clearly and leave quickly.
"Is the store there?" Su Xiaojin glanced over to the store and found that there seemed to be no one there, but the door of the store was wide open, so he shouted loudly to attract the attention of the snake seller.
As Su Xiaojin expected, a woman walked out of the hut in the store twice.
The woman was a little strong, with a round face, a knife in her hand, and a slight blood stain on her body, as if she had just killed a snake.
"Yo, little girl, what's the matter?!" The lady who sold snakes looked really bold, put the knife aside, wiped her hands with a rag, and asked Su Xiaojin loudly.
Su Xiaojin saw that this woman's appearance was really a perennial companion of poisonous snakes, so he hurriedly asked earnestly: "Auntie, I want to ask if anyone has come to you to buy snakes recently?" It's the kind of person who buys a lot of poisonous snakes at once. ”
The woman is also the one who answers all questions, and when she heard the question, she immediately thought about it and agreed truthfully: "This man comes and goes to buy snakes, and there are really not a few snake sellers these days." ”
"But if you want to say that you bought a large number of poisonous snakes, it belongs to the Shen family, the mother of the Li family, when she said that she wanted to buy it, I also told me that each of them was highly poisonous, so that she should be careful and careful, she bought a lot, so she was still impressed by it."
There are few people in the small village, and almost everyone in the village knows what is in the family, so the snake seller will definitely not remember the wrong person.
Hearing this, Su Xiaojin was really angry, she really saw what it means to be the most poisonous woman's heart today.
"Auntie, look at it, all the poisonous snakes that the Shen family bought from you are here?" After hearing this, Su Xiaojin hurriedly approached and opened the bag he brought, so that the woman who sold the snake could look more carefully.
The woman took a branch, fiddled with it, and hurriedly nodded and said that it was these poisonous snakes that she had sold to the Shen family, and all of them were in Su Xiaojin's bag.
But after speaking, the eldest lady is not a fool, when she vaguely felt that this thing was not right, she hurriedly asked Su Xiaojin, "Little girl, why is this snake here with you?!" ”
"I am Shen's niece, she bought this snake and put it in my and my brother's house, I came home and saw it, and my brother almost died in the mouth of these poisonous snakes. Auntie, I'm useless for these snakes, I'll sell them to you at a low price. ”
Su Xiaojin truthfully informed the woman of his situation one by one, and thought that it was useless for him to keep the snake, so it was better to sell them to the original owner.
When the woman who sold snakes heard this, even if she knew that the little girl in front of her was the eldest daughter of the Su family, whose mother had died tragically and that it was not easy for her blind brother, she immediately heard that she had been treated like this by her own aunt, and she was also a little sympathetic, but she happily paid some money to buy it back.
Su Xiaojin came out of the snake shop and was very angry at Shen's vicious behavior. But if the snake is sent to the Shen family in this way, it will be easy to be beaten upside down.
However, Su Xiaojin held the slightly heavy silver in his hand, thinking that he could improve his brother's food, and thinking about it, Su Xiaojin's steps were much lighter.
Su Xiaojin originally thought that he would make some bone broth for his younger brother, black chicken soup or something to replenish his body, but after thinking about it, he really didn't have much experience in cooking, what if he ruined such an expensive ingredient?
But fortunately, there was a lot of money from selling snakes, so Su Xiaojin simply went to the inn to pack a dish and a soup home.
"Xiao Qian, come and see what delicious food my sister brought you back." As soon as Su Xiaojin got home, he couldn't wait to show Xiaoqian the delicious food he bought for him.
Su Xiaoqian had been obediently waiting for his sister at home today, and suddenly smelled a fragrance from outside the house.
This made Su Xiaoqian suddenly feel a little hungry, and he didn't know what delicious food his sister brought back from outside, this taste was too tempting! He got up from the side of the bed and walked towards Su Xiaojin happily.
Su Xiaojin and the others saw that the house was really simple and the grass shed was very stuffy, so they simply dined at the stake under the locust tree outside the house.
