Chapter 544: Something Must Have Happened

Tong Ping did not follow Madam Fang to collect the fruits today. After receiving Gu Yundong’s instructions, he quietly followed behind Madam Fang.
When he saw her enter the courtyard, he sneaked to the back of the house when no one was looking.
The wall here was much shorter, and one of the parts had collapsed. It was accidentally pushed down by too many people on Chen Yulan’s wedding day. Madam Fang didn’t repair it. Anyway, she was going to live in town.
Although Jiang Yongkang moved in later, this wasn’t his house, so he wasn’t willing to pay so much money to repair it. Anyway, this was the backyard, so it didn’t affect him much.
Now, the wall was convenient for Tong Ping. With a little force, he quietly climbed in.
Hearing the low-pitched argument coming from the house, Tong Ping shook the cloth bag in his hand and chuckled.
After a while, not only did he hear the quarrel in the house, but he also heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard. He knew that the time had come.
He opened the cloth bag and pulled out a snake.
The snake was emerald green in color, slender and long, about a meter long. At this moment, it was being dragged by Tong Ping, and it even wriggled a little uneasily.
Tong Ping smiled. While the people inside were still talking, he stuffed the snake into the window.
The snake’s color was very conspicuous. Almost as soon as it appeared, the people in the room noticed it.
“Ah…” A terrified scream sounded as expected.
Tong Ping covered his mouth and laughed, but soon frowned.
That’s not right. Why is it a male voice?
He secretly looked inside and his mouth twitched.
In the room, Jiang Yongkang’s face was pale. He pointed at the snake and quickly pounced into Madam Fang’s arms. Cold sweat dripped down, and his lips trembled.
“Snake, snake, how can there be a snake? Quickly chase it away, quickly chase it away, ah ah…”
His terrified voice was unidentifiable as he hugged Madam Fang tightly.
Madam Fang almost couldn’t breathe. Compared to his scream of fear, Madam Fang was much calmer.
Although she was a woman and usually did not go to the fields, she was not a lazy person. Sometimes, snakes would slither in her courtyard.
She was already used to encountering snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the countryside.
Although she was shocked by the sudden appearance of this snake at first, she quickly calmed down after seeing it clearly.
“Let go. What are you afraid of? This is an Emerald Green Snake. It’s not poisonous and is especially timid. Look, it’s frightened by you.”
Jiang Yongkang shook his head desperately. He didn’t hear what she said at all. He felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He closed his eyes and didn’t even look.
“Hurry up and chase it away. I told you that I can’t stay in this countryside. I won’t come to this godforsaken place again.”
He had lived in town since he was young. He was not afraid of encountering a rat, but he was afraid of this slippery thing.
Madam Fang’s eyes lit up. He was so afraid of snakes, so she could use it to threaten him to return to town quickly.
She thought quickly in her heart, but she didn’t know that at this moment, a few people were passing by the entrance of their courtyard and happened to hear Jiang Yongkang’s scream, which was so loud that it almost shook the roof.
The people who were about to pass by trembled and looked at each other.
One of them immediately said worriedly, “It seems to be Brother Jiang’s voice. He’s screaming so badly. Could something have happened?”
“Something must have happened. Maybe a thief broke in. Let’s go in and take a look.”
