The snake was also startled when it heard Liu Man'er's shout, and found Liu Man'er and the two, and as soon as it turned around, it raised its head and attacked Liu Man'er and the two.

said that it was too late, and Liu Man'er's heart jumped into her throat, but she saw Ye Yuan stretch out his hand and grab the snake's seven inches at once.

"It turned out to be a five-step snake."

In order not to make Liu Man'er afraid, Ye Yuan pretended to be relaxed and said, but the expression on his face was clearly not so relaxed, this snake was about the thickness of an adult's wrist, and at this moment, although it was caught by Ye Yuan for seven inches, it still refused to admit defeat......

Its tail wrapped around Ye Yuan's wrist, its mouth was desperately open, its slender head was about to split into two sides, and the sharp fangs inside looked a little oozing. Liu Man'er's cold hairs that were watching from the side stood up.

Ye Yuan's wrist was violently entangled by the snake's green tendons, but his fingers were still tightly pinching the snake's seven inches, and Liu Man'er saw his struggling appearance, so he took out a firewood knife from his waist and wanted to cut it at the snake.

"Don't." Ye Yuan hurriedly stopped, "After this snake dies, it will be worthless." ”

"But, this is a poisonous snake, what if it bites you?" Liu Man'er was stared at by the snake's eyes, and clearly felt some yin poison from the snake, she raised the firewood knife, and still wanted to cut at the snake, but she was afraid of hurting Ye Yuan, so she kept hesitating.

"Although this snake is thick and powerful, it will not be able to hold on to it later." Ye Yuan changed his hand to catch the snake, obviously his right hand was a little weaker when it was entangled by the snake.

"Go find a rattan and we'll tie up the snake." Ye Yuan said.

"But I'm gone, what if you can't hold on?" Liu Man'er felt that she had to stay by Ye Yuan's side so that she could rest assured. Because this snake is more than a meter long, and it is so thick and strong, several pounds, Liu Man'er is really a little worried.

"No, it won't." Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Aren't there a lot of rattans around here?" ”

"Good!" It's really a matter of concern, as soon as Liu Man'er lowered her head, she found that there were a lot of rattans not far away, so she squatted down and cut one indiscriminately.

"Look, can you? How do I bundle it? Liu Man'er looked at the snake's mouth and felt a little frightened.

But she also knew that the snake's mouth should be restrained first, and as long as it didn't bite, everything would be fine.

Thinking of this, she took the vine and began to tie it, but after all, this vine is not as good as the rope, and Liu Man'er is always worried that some of them will not be able to restrain it, and she is afraid that she will be too fierce and afraid that the snake will be tied to death, and it will not be sold at a good price at that time.

"Don't be afraid, this snake doesn't die so easily, just tie it up seven inches." Ye Yuan mentioned on the side, and lowered his right hand a little, so that it was convenient for Liu Man'er to tie up.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Man'er tied up the snake, but she was still a little worried, after all, this five-step snake, that is not a joke, I heard that after biting someone, the person died after walking five steps, which is enough to know that this snake is very poisonous.

"Ye Yuan, don't let go, I'll tie it up a few more times."

For the sake of safety, Liu Man'er tied it up again, and with her force, the snake's body gradually loosened from Ye Yuan's hand.

Then, every inch, she bundled on the snake's body, until the snake was densely wrapped into a long large zongzi, and then she stopped.

"Ye Yuan, take a look, is this okay?" Liu Man'er asked.

"That's it." Ye Yuan groaned and glanced at the snake, at this moment, it was no longer able to move.

Easily put the snake in the back basket, but Liu Man'er was always a little worried: "Why don't we go down the mountain first and dispose of this snake?" What if I don't have a tight tie on top of me and it slips out? Even if it doesn't slip out, what if it escapes out of the basket and bites you? ”

After all, such a big snake is no joke.

"Monkey, we can come back next time, your safety is the most important thing." Liu Man'er insisted on pulling Ye Yuan down the mountain.

"Alright then, let's go to town and sell the snake first and see how much it's worth." Ye Yuan finally agreed to Liu Man'er's request, after all, her worries were not unreasonable.

"Okay, then don't put the snake in the back basket, will you carry it?" Liu Man'er looked at the way the snake opened its mouth wide, and felt a little infiltrating.

"Don't be afraid, it won't bite you." Although he said this, Ye Yuan still found some branches and made a simple lid in the back basket.

This snake is not light, if he waits for him to carry it in his hand, he will be seen by the villagers along the way, and maybe it will cause criticism again.

He is a low-key person who really doesn't like to be pointed at by others.

"Then carry the basket in your hand, so that if there is anything, I can see it, and you can react in time."

Liu Man'er suggested again, but this time, Ye Yuan took the basket in his hand according to her words, and instead carried the bow to his back.

It's just a pity that along the way he saw several rabbits running in front of his eyes, and he really wanted to catch them, but he could only sigh with admiration.

Liu Man'er looked at it a pity, last time because of a moment of kindness, she had already let go of a big fat rabbit, and this time she had to watch these big fat rabbits slip away from her eyes.

"Why don't you teach me how to shoot?" Liu Man'er said innocently.

"I'll teach you when I'm available." To her surprise, Ye Yuan actually agreed.

I don't know if what he said is true or not, anyway, as long as he agrees, it's easy to say.

Walking all the way down the mountain, Liu Man'er was nervous all the way, for fear that the snake would crawl out of the back basket and bite Ye Yuan, if this is the case, it is his own sin.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do along the way, and Liu Man'er's heart was also a little relieved.

Smoothly returned to the village, did not enter the house, Ye Yuan planned to go to the town to sell this snake, Liu Man'er had some joy in her heart, she asked secretly, "Ye Yuan, you give an estimate, how much can we sell this snake we caught?" ”

"At least two taels of silver." Ye Yuan replied.

Liu Man'er's face suddenly swelled with the light of a wealth fan, "Two taels of silver, isn't there a lot of money?" It's more cost-effective than a wild boar. ”

"Yes, when the money is sold, I will tear a piece of cloth for you and make clothes."

"I thank you, but let's make it for my mother first, my mother hasn't made clothes for a long time."

"Don't worry, my mother will have it too."

For Liu Man'er's filial piety, Ye Yuan expressed his satisfaction.

"Oh, then Xiaohe and Fusheng are definitely going to have two children." Liu Man'er was not satisfied.

"They have it too." Ye Yuan replied patiently.

"What about you?" Liu Man'er asked again.

"I have a lot of clothes, so I don't have to buy them." Ye Yuan said that when he saw Liu Man'er as if he was about to ask again, he said, "Haven't you been talking about wanting to buy new clothes?" Why did you do this first, but you have so many problems? ”

"Hey, I'm the eldest sister-in-law, I always take care of my younger brothers and sisters, otherwise, the people in the deposit will definitely gossip."

"You're still afraid of gossip?" Ye Yuan looked unconvinced.

"Why am I not afraid? I'm very afraid, I don't like to be talked about the most, if anyone dares to talk about me, I won't care at first, if she says it's hot, I'll take a firewood knife and go to her house to cut it! ”

Liu Man'er said domineeringly.

As she spoke, she remembered her firewood knife, and for fear that the snake would run out, she put the firewood knife she pinned to her waist on top of the basket.

"Are you afraid that the snake will come out and bite you, or do you want to add weight to me?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that the snake will come out and bite you." Liu Man'er said seriously, "Why don't you still talk like this, how much can a knife weigh?" I can easily pick up ten knives that weigh. ”

Only then did Ye Yuan remember that the woman in front of him was not the delicate young lady he had seen when he was stationed in the city in the past, she was not the kind of weak woman, she was a person who had gone through wind and frost, shouldered the burden of the family, and could be a man.

However, he was inexplicably distressed, "You are indeed strong, but I said the wrong thing." ”

"It's okay, you don't understand me, I don't blame you."

After saying something plausible and incomprehensible, Liu Man'er walked briskly towards the town, this was her second time in the town, and it was still a little novel.

However, today is not the day to catch the market, there are many fewer people in this town, except for some inherent shops, there are almost no people who come out to set up stalls, and there are only a few people on the street.

Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er finally found a medicinal herb shop in the town, but the man was only willing to spend five yuan to buy this snake.

If Liu Man'er didn't know the price before, she would definitely think that this price was already very good, but at this moment, she already knew this price, and Ye Yuan's estimate was two taels, so she was naturally unwilling to sell it so cheaply.

"This price is too low, we almost lost our lives just now in order to hunt this snake, are you willing to give us five hundred Wen?" Liu Man'er was a little resentful in her heart, she was really unbusiness.

"Our price is quite high, you can ask elsewhere, it will be lower." The person who collected the snake said with some disdain, "In this era, human life is not valuable. ”

Liu Man'er was a little angry when she heard this, yes, in this era, human life is not valuable, and it costs dozens of dollars to buy a daughter-in-law in the mountains, and isn't she bought by Ye Yuan's family for five yuan.

Every time she thought about it, she was always a little depressed.

Besides, this is the only one on the street that will accept this kind of snake, and he asked them to go elsewhere, didn't he see that they couldn't sell it.
