The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 77 - 75: Peril by the Stream (3)
They caught quite a lot of fish and shrimp, the big ones could be cooked to eat, the medium-sized ones cleaned and dried for a bit, during the winter they could be fried up and make a dish.
The small fish and shrimps were even easier to handle, just directly toss them into the chicken coop, they eat well, then the eggs they lay have nutrition.
"That’s about it."
Wen Ran looked at the basket, at the big fish, and decided to stop, "Let’s go home."
"Mm, mm, mm."
The three were about to lift their feet to go when suddenly a scream came from behind.
"Ahhhhh~"
Wen Ran felt a chill in her heart, turned her head and saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives—a snake over two meters long, as thick as a wrist, wrapped around a child.
The child wasn’t a stranger, it was the mischievous little chubby kid—Tian Jinbao.
Honestly, even if a wild boar ran down the mountain, Wen Ran’s face wouldn’t change. She would just clench her fist and charge.
But what lay before them was indeed a living serpent, its scales and texture, just thinking about it made Wen Ran’s throat tighten.
She was almost nailed to the spot, barely able to move.
Xiao Chenxing’s hair was standing on end, "Ahhhhh!"
The children were frozen with fear, screams arose one after another, and some with weaker courage had already fainted from fright.
The snake was startled, it flicked its long tongue.
It let go of Tian Jinbao, allowing the fainted Tian Jinbao to crash into the creek, alone, the snake slithering and swimming towards the children.
Wen Ran grabbed a fish from the bucket, face pale, and threw the fish out.
By sheer luck, it hit the weak spot!
The snake was smashed half to death, Wen Ran closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to charge forward, she jumped into the creek, and precisely grabbed the tail of that snake, feeling that slippery, icy cold sensation.
Wen Ran felt like she had just died a little.
She was holding onto the snake tail, treating it like hemp rope, grabbing the tail and swinging it.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
The sound of wind rushing past her ears, Wen Ran’s face turning pale again and again.
The snake, whether it was dizzy or dead, laid in a straight line when it fell to the ground.
She wanted to move closer, to seize the chance while the snake was ill and take its life.
But her feet just wouldn’t obey, limp and floppy, she sat down in the creek.
Luckily Wen Ran knew a bit about swimming, enough not to drown in the creek.
Just like this, she watched Bao Wenxuan leap past her view, rushing to the snake’s face, using her weight and agility to jump fiercely on the half-dead snake’s head.
"Ahhhhh!"
She bounced and jumped on the snake head, the snake body spasmed twice neurotically and then stopped moving.
Bao Wenxuan was already consumed with rage, not just her face, even her neck had turned red.
At that moment, her mind was filled with ’kill it, kill it!’
Xiao Chenxing went down to fish Tian Jinbao up, leaving Wen Ran in the creek, feeling her weakness, yet still trying to persuade Bao Wenxuan, weakly, "Alright, alright, that’s enough, the snake is dead from being stomped on."
She was mentally shocked, and hadn’t come back to her senses, just feeling weakness all over her body.
As for that snake...
Accurately speaking, it should be completely dead, its head stomped into mush.
Bao Wenxuan calmed down a bit, looking at the mess of blood and flesh on her shoes and feet, quite embarrassingly sat down on the ground.
She really cried loudly, rolling and crawling to the creek, shoving her feet into it.
These feet are truly unbearable!
Wen Ran: "!!!"
She felt her own hair about to stand up.
Sister!
What’re you doing!
I’m downstream of you.
Rolling and crawling onto the bank, Wen Ran was left uneasy, while Xiao Chenxing had fished Tian Jinbao out, awkwardly instructing, "Kids, quickly, go find the team leader!
Just say Tian Jinbao was bitten by a snake, let him rush over with the ox cart."
The snake was dead, but Tian Jinbao was also bitten, whether he was poisoned or not, it was all left to luck.
Xiao Chenxing wiped the water off his face, patted Tian Jinbao’s chubby cheeks, "Jinbao? Little chubby? Wake up!"
The crowd who first realized something was wrong surged forward, watching other adults arrive, Wen Ran finally relaxed and closed her eyes.
Yes, swinging a snake or whatnot, had surpassed her psychological expectations.
Now it’s safe, time to faint.
Before closing her eyes, she seemed to hear familiar shouts and cries, before completely losing her senses, she felt her body lighten as if she was being picked up.
Who, who is it?
Wen Ran’s eyelids wouldn’t open, the next second, she fell into a deep sleep.
