C6 Serpents

In the afternoon, the heat enveloped the remote mountain village.

This little mountain village's name was called Peach Blossom Village, and I heard that it was a fresh and colorful Peach Blossom Origin with fragrant grass, but in reality, it was the most remote and remote place in the Lingnan City. This Peach Blossom Village lived in a place with nearly eighty small families, and none of them were rich, with earthy embryo houses that could be seen everywhere.

Soong Xintong looked at her dilapidated thatched cottage from afar. Luckily, it was still early summer and there weren't many thunderstorms. Otherwise, the worn-out thatched cottage would have been blown away by the wind.

"When will this peach grow up?" Little Treasure looked at the peach tree by the side of the road. There were a few fingernail-sized green fruits hanging on the branches.

"I'll have to wait another two months." Soong Xintong's grandmother was also from the countryside. She knew this kind of peach tree. When she grew up, it was only the size of a child's fist. It was fluffy and very bitter.

Little Treasure licked his lips as if he wanted to eat it.

"When I grow up, I'll bring you guys here to pick it." Soong Xintong's heart ached as she pinched Little Treasure's meatless cheek. She was so greedy for such a small piece of peach. "However, I reckon that it has already been plucked by someone. Should we move back home?"

"Sister, there's no need to move. Did you forget that there's one at the back of our house?" Big Treasure looked up at Soong Xintong.

Soong Xintong chuckled dryly. Hehe, she had really forgotten.

This village's name was called Peach Blossom Village, and as its name implied, there were a lot of peach trees. Although they weren't very tasty, every house had two or three trees planted at the front and back, used to satisfy one's craving.

The three of them climbed up the mountain, panting heavily. What entered their eyes was an endless forest, lush and verdant without wind. Birds were chirping unceasingly, along with the sound of flowing water.

Soong Xintong wanted to walk deeper into the woods, but her arm was held back by Big Treasure.

"Sister, you can't go into the mountains." Big Treasure said in an experienced manner.

The deeper they went, the deeper they went into the mountains and forests. Legend has it that biting insects roamed about, unless the village hunters had just entered the mountains, most people would only dare to pick firewood or wild vegetables. The original owner would usually walk around in a circle, not daring to go further.

"I don't want to go in there. Look, that's where we'll go." Soong Xintong pointed at a tree branch not far away.

Big Treasure nodded in agreement. "Oh."

Soong Xintong pulled one with each hand. Bringing her child along was tiring!

Soong Xintong's hands and feet cleanly cut the fallen branch into pieces and put it into the basket. She then panted heavily as she sat on the ground. She was dead tired! Fortunately, the original owner often worked hard, and he had often traversed mountains before he had transmigrated. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to lift his saber today.

"Sis, if only I could hunt like Uncle Xie."

"Sister, if only I had wings, then I would directly fly and catch these birds to eat." Little Treasure listened to the sounds of the birds in the forest with a depressed expression on his face. He really wanted to skin these annoying birds alive.

Soong Xintong: "…" Brother, you think too much.

"Ah jie, I missed my father so much." Xiaobao threw himself into Soong Xintong's embrace and sobbed softly.

Soong Xintong patted Xiaobao on the head and asked, "Little brother, do you want to eat more meat?" In the past, when his father was still alive, although his family had a tough time at home, he could still eat once a month. However, ever since his father was gone, his family felt worse every day, and the twins had already forgotten about the smell of meat.

"Yes." Little Treasure swallowed his saliva.

Soong Xintong felt guilty. If only she could make her two brothers eat meat today. "Alright, manly man, don't cry."

"Get up, sister will go and see if any stupid rabbits are able to hit the tree stumps." Soong Xintong stood up with the sickle in her hand and walked towards the direction of the wild bird with her back bent.

Xiaobao asked curiously, "Sis, is there really such a dumb rabbit?"

"I also want to know if there is one." Soong Xintong looked around and asked, "Where's Big Treasure?"

Little Treasure looked around and shook his head innocently, "I don't know."

"Great treasure? Great Treasure, where are you? " Soong Xintong shouted anxiously. Where did this unlucky child run off to?

"Sister!" Big Treasure's trembling voice came from not too far away.

Soong Xintong ran over quickly and saw Dabao lying motionless on a tree branch. On the other side of the branch, there was a bird's nest. Beside the nest, there was a colorful snake spitting its tongue out at Dabao.

Heavens, this unlucky child!

This snake was obviously highly toxic. What should he do now? But what should he do? Soong Xintong took a deep breath and whispered to Dabao, who was on the verge of crying, "Dabao, don't move first. Listen to my commands."

"Sister, I'm scared." Big Treasure whispered.

Ah'jie was also afraid. Soong Xintong slowly approached the snake and whispered to it, "Brother Snake, we have no ill intentions towards you. We won't rob your rations. Please forgive my brother."

Little Treasure blinked and imitated Ah'jie. He clasped his hands together and said to the viper, "Uncle Snake, Little Treasure won't eat any more eggs. Don't eat my brother."

"…" Soong Xintong glanced at Xiaobao. She felt that she had messed with her little brother, who had a long roots and a red hair.

"Sister, please save me." Big Treasure moved backwards while trembling, but he didn't move at all. His actions alerted the snake, as it thought that this group of repulsive humans were about to make a move. It stood up, flicked its tongue, and swam quickly towards Big Treasure.

Soong Xintong carefully picked up a long tree branch from the ground and tried to chase it away. However, before she could get close, a sharp wind blew past her ear, scaring her into trembling.

When she came back to her senses, she was surprised to find that an arrow had pierced through the snake's head and nailed it to the tree trunk.

Soong Xintong turned her head to look behind her, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in coarse clothes, holding a bow and arrow walking over. It turned out to be the village hunter, Uncle Zhang. There are a lot of venomous snake ants in here. If I get accidentally bitten, I won't be able to get saved. "

"Let's chop firewood." Soong Xintong glanced at the viper nailed to the tree with a lingering fear, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for saving my brother."

"No problem, no problem at all." Uncle Zhang chuckled. "Don't provoke it like this when you see a poisonous snake in the future. It will bite you faster than a tiger."

Soong Xintong tossed the branch to the side. "I won't do it again."

"Viper won't understand you either." Uncle Zhang smiled, "The closer you get to it, the more you think you're dangerous. Just stand still and let it go first. If it really doesn't work, then you'll have to hit seven inches. However, ordinary people can't do it."

Soong Xintong smiled awkwardly. "I was the one who changed the topic."

"Wah …" "Elder sister …" Great Treasure burst into tears out of fear.
