Chapter 148: Retreating
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Ran wanted to give his earthworm to Feng Jun, but Feng Jun shook his head. “I don’t need it either. I have enough.” Actually, he also wanted to see what Fu Xin and her son were playing.
However, the earthworms hadn’t been used up yet. Wasn’t that a little bad? After all, they had dug the earthworms together. Would others be disappointed if they didn’t use them up? But he really wanted to see what Fu Xin and Jiang Xinyuan were doing. For a moment, Feng Jun could not help but feel conflicted.
Huo Ran was not as conflicted as him. He put down the fishing rod and went to Fu Xin and Jiang Xinyuan.
When Feng Jun saw that he had gone over, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. He didn’t care if it was an earthworm or not. He followed Huo Ran’s back and walked towards Jiang Xinyuan and Fu Xin.
Just as he went over, he heard Feng Fei suddenly shout, “Snake, there’s a snake!”
Feng Fei shouted as he retreated. There was another small pit behind him and he fell flat on his back. Coincidentally, Feng Jun and Huo Ran came over and helped him up. Such a loud shout naturally attracted the mothers. When they heard that there was a snake, they could not help but become nervous.
Then, they looked at Fu Xin and saw that she was holding a long thing in her hand. It really looked like a snake. When the cameraman saw this scene, he quickly gave a close-up.
[Snake, it’s really a snake. Isn’t Fu Xin too bold? Catching a snake with her bare hands?]
[Fortunately, I wasn’t around. Otherwise, I would have fainted from shock.] [Just looking at it like this is quite scary. The cameraman is too much. He even gave a close-up and didn’t stop Fu Xin.]
[This snake doesn’t seem to be poisonous. It should be fine if it’s bitten.]
[Previous poster, it’s scary even if it’s not poisonous! How dare Fu Xin!]
Only the cameraman was bold. When the other staff saw this scene, they could not help but retreat. When the mothers saw this, they were even more afraid.
“Where did you catch them?”
“In this hole.” Fu Xin pointed.
“Don’t get bitten. It’s very dangerous,” Fei Fei quickly reminded her.
“It’s okay. This round-headed snake isn’t poisonous. It’s fine even if it’s bitten.” Fu Xin knew snakes and knew that this snake wasn’t poisonous. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have caught it.
“How did you catch it?” Zhang Nan was so frightened that her voice was trembling.
“With this.” Fu Xin held the wooden stick. There was a fork in the front of the wooden stick. “Stick it in the snake’s head and use your hand to take it out. Do you want to give it a try?”
The mothers shook their heads. They didn’t dare.
Jiang Xinyuan was not that afraid. Instead, he was worried about his mother. “Mom, you have to be careful.” Although this snake was not poisonous, it would still hurt if it was bitten! He did not want his mother’s hand to hurt.
“Okay!” Fu Xin agreed, reassuring Jiang Xinyuan.
Fei Fei reacted quickly. “Are there many snakes here? Are there also snakes in the stream?” Thinking of this, she could not help but break out in cold sweat.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s okay.” Fu Xin saw that she was afraid and quickly comforted her. “This snake was originally inside. I stabbed it out. There shouldn’t be any in the stream.”
“Why did you stab it for no reason? It’s sleeping inside, but you’re disturbing its sleep.” Zhang Nan complained. She was also afraid and only dared to look, not dare to approach.
“It’s fine. I’ll put it back later.” Fu Xin was carefree, but she also felt that she was a little too bold. She had no choice. She was too curious!
This was one of her shortcomings! She was curious about everything and wanted to find out. In the end, she comforted herself and felt that this was the spirit of exploration, so she accepted this shortcoming.
“Who wants to see the snake? If you don’t, I’ll put it back.” Fu Xin asked the children.
Although the children were afraid, they were also curious. They wanted to take a closer look, so they mustered their courage and came behind Jiang Xinyuan.
Jiang Xinyuan seemed to be very brave and had been staying by Fu Xin’s side. Hence, they hid behind Jiang Xinyuan and observed the snakes.
“Aunt Fu, what kind of snake is this?” Huo Ran asked.
“This is a round-headed snake. It’s not poisonous, but it’s very fierce. It eats poisonous snakes. With it around, it means that there are no poisonous snakes nearby,” Fu Xin explained patiently.
“Then there’s no poisonous snake. Is it going to starve? Will it eat us?” Huo Ran was indeed full of questions.
“It won’t. It doesn’t eat people, but that doesn’t mean it won’t bite.” Fu Xin reminded her kindly, but she was holding it. It didn’t look dangerous now.
“There are no poisonous snakes to eat. It can eat rats and frogs. I’ve read about it in books.” Jiang Xinyuan was indeed knowledgeable and answered Huo Ran’s question.
“Do you want to touch it?” Fu Xin pinched the snake’s head with one hand and the snake’s tail with the other, showing the snake to the little ones.
The little ones shook their heads repeatedly and retreated in fear..
