Chapter 13 The Mountain Ironhead Snake
"Baby is not afraid, not afraid! Didn't Mom say, don't touch those cats and dogs, how dirty they are, not only parasites but also bacteria! Hey, I don't know what your aunt thinks, I don't know if there are children at home, everything dirty and smelly will be collected at home! β
Tao Le didn't want to quarrel with Li Qing, but he was even more afraid that Ximu would be angry, so he also ran over to pick him up, carefully checked his tail, and was relieved to see that it was okay.
It's strange to say, it's the same tail touching, and if Tao Le is changed to do it, Ximu has no opinion. He shrank his head into her arms, impatient to listen to the young mother and son's voices.
Li Qing chattered, and carefully checked her son's body for a long time, and found that there were indeed no wounds, so she was relieved.
She glared at Ximu a few more times, probably because he was huge and vicious, and Tao Le protected him again, so he didn't dare to move his hands and feet after all.
She picked up Tao Qizhan and counted him down: "You only touched the cat with this hand, but you have to wash it well!" With that, he walked to the bathroom with indignant steps.
Several eyes with reproach, after sweeping past Ximu, stopped on Tao Le's face.
Tao Le had no choice but to explain: "No wonder my cat treasure is here, Xiao Zhan went to pull his tail first." He was so restrained that he didn't even stretch out his claws. β
Tao's mother Ren Hong leaned against the kitchen door and said coldly: "It's a loss that it didn't stretch out its claws, if you move it, you can pay it back?" The cat that hurts people can't be kept, and Xiaozhan has to be given a tetanus shot. Speaking of which, it's your fault, what kind of cat do you have to do? There would be no such thing without it. β
"Mom, don't talk about Lele, I think her cat is ugly, but her temper is not bad, at least she knows that she can't wave her paws at people."
Tao Zhi suddenly felt that this cat also had a special taste after watching it for a long time, and he didn't know why, he always felt that it could understand human words, which was too strange.
"Okay, you quickly put the cat down, wash your hands and help me pick vegetables."
Tao Le couldn't wait to get rid of the deadly series of questions from Tao's father, so he responded happily, and appeased the very reluctant Simu, and went into the kitchen to pick vegetables.
Since Tao Le was preparing for the training exam, he hadn't come back for more than a month, and there was a lot of talk between the mother and daughter.
Ren Hong didn't ask any questions about her boyfriend - she knew her daughter better than Tao's father in this regard - she just asked her what she usually ate, whether her skills had improved, whether she slept well, and so on.
Tao Le answered them one by one, asked about his parents' bodies, and listened to Ren Hong's daily life. Both of them deliberately avoided the topic of cats, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious and cheerful.
After a while, I saw Li Qing also pull the door in, still annoyed on his face, ignoring Tao Le, and took the garlic and peeled it aside.
Ren Hong saw her like this, so she said: "The kitchen is small, and there is Lele, so you can go and accompany Xiaozhan." β
"Xiao Zhan was tired of crying and fell asleep." Li Qing kept moving in her hands, and said, "Mom, the hole in the screen window of the North House is a little bigger, and it won't work if you don't repair it." β
Tao Le was stunned for a moment, and the movement of picking vegetables also stopped. In her parents' house, the small bedroom on the north side belongs to her, when did her sister-in-law care so much about her house?
When Ren Hong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Tell Tao Zhi to find someone to repair quickly." What should I do if I get into a mosquito bite? She washed her hands and went out to call Tao Zhi.
Li Qing approached Tao Le: "Lele, it's hot these days, your room is cool, my mother will let me take Xiaozhan to live in your house, don't you mind?" β
Tao Le didn't expect that her house had already been occupied. Although I am not usually at home, it is indeed a little crowded for the three brothers and sisters-in-law to sleep in one room, but in the end I still have a little mind. Maybe it's because she's still not atmospheric enough, right?
"It's all lived, and it's useless for me to mind." Tao Le said lightly.
"So, are you going to stay at home tonight?" Li Qing hesitated for a while and then asked, it seemed that this was what she was really concerned about.
Tao Le's mind was racing, and he understood the deep-seated thoughts of Li Qing's question. She also had the intention of going back, so she followed her meaning and said, "I'll go back to the city tonight." β
Li Qing let out a long breath: "That's good, that's good." β
"Good what?" Ren Hong pulled the door in, just in time to hear Li Qing's last words, and asked casually.
What she asked was what Tao Le wanted to know, even if she stayed overnight, she would still go back tomorrow, and she couldn't understand why Li Qing was so reluctant.
"Lele said that she is going back to the city at night, I think that the cat will not spend the night at home, otherwise if she sleeps for one night, there will be hair and bacteria everywhere, and the bedding at home will have to be changed?"
Tao Le choked in mid-air in one breath. Why are you talking about it again, and it's on the ugly cat again? Is it so difficult for people who have never owned cats to accept small animals?
Do you know how serious the consequences of offending His Royal Highness the prince are? Thinking about it this way, it's better to go back, or I really don't know how they will continue to die.
Mother Tao listened to Li Qing's words, and actually really considered her proposal: "Lele, let's have dinner early later, and then you will take the cat back, it will be too late and unsafe." β
"Mom?" Tao Le is very depressed, is this really his own mother? I haven't seen my daughter for so long, shouldn't I interrupt my sister-in-law's rude request and try my best to keep myself?
"What are you doing!" Tao Zhi's loud shouts sounded in the hall, followed by hurried footsteps, arrogant cat meows, and Tao Dad's exclamations.
What the hell is going on? Tao Le and the three of them couldn't stay in the kitchen, so they hurriedly went out to the scene of the incident, and then they were collectively stunned.
After Tao Zhi's restoration, the process of things is like this:
Two or three o'clock is the hottest time of the next morning. The person who repaired the screen window probably also went to take a nap, Tao Zhi went downstairs and pounced, and went to the neighbors of the store to take a look, but still found nothing, and had to come back with a sweat.
As soon as he entered, he saw the huge ugly cat, with its ears pricked up, its waist hunched, ready to attack. Before he could react, the cat rushed into the north house like an arrow.
Xiao Zhan is sleeping in the North House, what is this ugly cat going to do when he goes in? Tao Zhi didn't have time to think about it, and shouted: "What are you doing!" He strode into the North House.
What he saw in front of him shocked and frightened him.
I saw that the ugly cat was on the bed, with its fur stubbling, and its sharp claws all stretched out, firmly pressing down on something!
Under its claws is not Xiao Zhan's body, but an ugly and hideous animalβa snake!
The snake was half a meter long, with a light brown back covered in purple cloud-like markings, and a terrifying triangular head that writhed.
"This is the Mountain Soldering Iron Head Snake!" Dad Tao also came in at this time, and he recognized it at a glance.
The mountain branded ironhead snake, also known as mangosteen leaf green, is a stout venomous snake that is much more venomous than the average short-tailed snake.
Once bitten, the wound will quickly fester, and if the rescue is not timely, the limb will be amputated at least or fatal at worst.
