Chapter 209 Have we met somewhere before?

"Cousin?" Sun Shaolan quickly rushed towards Tang Tian. When she saw Dong Gui holding a colorful snake, she immediately understood and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xiao, my cousin just fainted from fright."

"My cousin has been afraid of snakes since she was a child. Not to mention snakes, she is even afraid of earthworms. When she saw that colorful snake, she must have fainted from fright." Sun Shaolan walked forward familiarly and pinched Tang Tian's philtrum, and Tang Tian slowly woke up.

"What's wrong with me?" Tang Tian was being stared at by several pairs of eyes. She didn't understand what was happening for a moment. Until she saw the colorful snake in Dong Gui's hand, she screamed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.

"Blame me." Dong Gui grabbed the snake and hid it behind her. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue apologetically and asked, "Miss, what should we do with this snake?"

"Take it home and cook it." Xiao Jiuyue said without hesitation: "Snake soup clears away heat and reduces internal heat, it's perfect for summer."

"Okay." Donggui quickly threw the dead snake into the backpack behind her. She was just thinking about how she would quietly bring the snake home if the eldest lady didn't agree!

"This, this thing can be eaten?" Although Sun Shaolan was not as afraid of snakes as Tang Tian, ​​she had never eaten it before.

Xiao Jiuyue didn't answer, but looked at Dong Gui and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Dong Gui immediately understood what Xiao Jiuyue meant and replied, "It's delicious, and the soup is especially delicious."

"Well, can I have a try too?" Sun Shaolan asked curiously.

Xiao Jiuyue smiled: "Of course, as long as you can eat it."

"I'll try. It's okay for me to eat less." Sun Shaolan sat next to Tang Tian and grabbed the pheasant that Tang Tian had hunted. She looked back at the unconscious Tang Tian and said, "Sister Xiao, let's split up and start roasting the pheasant, shall we?"

"I saw a stream over there, so I took care of the pheasant." Sun Shaolan took the initiative to take on the dirty work.

"Then I'll go collect firewood." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Tang Tian and said, "Donggui."

"I want to stay by the young lady's side." Dong Gui said without thinking. She was going out to look after the young lady today, so nothing could go wrong.

"It's okay, Xiaotao and Xiaoxi just need to stay by your cousin's side."

Xiaotao is Tang Tian's maid, and Xiaoxi is Sun Shaolan's maid, and they both know some martial arts.

Xiao Jiuyue led Donggui to collect firewood nearby. After a while, Xiao Jiuyue found that her trip was in vain, as Donggui didn't let her collect firewood at all.

"Miss, I will collect the firewood. Please be careful of the pitfalls." Donggui picked up the dead branches and took out a sharp dagger from her body. In her hand, the dead branches soon became firewood suitable for burning.

"Donggui, when you were in the escort agency, did you often sleep outdoors?" Xiao Jiuyue spoke to Donggui as if chatting.

"Yes." Donggui answered, and started to work without any hesitation, picking up one stick after another.

Xiao Jiuyue picked up the dead branch beside her and was about to speak when she saw Xue Lingxiao walking towards her: "Miss Xiao."

Xiao Jiuyue turned around and left quickly.

Xue Lingxiao quickly walked towards Xiao Jiuyue, blocking her way and saying, "Wait a minute, Miss Xiao. You look familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?"

Such an old-fashioned way to pick up a girl!

Xiao Jiuyue silently took a step back: "We have never met, and we don't know each other."

"Miss Xiao." Xue Lingxiao wanted to move forward, but Dong Gui, holding a piece of dry firewood, stood in front of Xue Lingxiao. The firewood was very long, and if Xue Lingxiao had not been fast, he would have been knocked down by the firewood.

"I really feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Miss Xiao, why don't you think about it again?" Xue Lingxiao's peach blossom eyes looked at Xiao Jiuyue intently.

Xiao Jiuyue turned and left, and Dong Gui immediately stopped Xue Lingxiao who was about to step forward: "Mr. Xue, my eldest daughter said she doesn't know him, and that's exactly what she means. Mr. Xue, please respect yourself."

"Move aside, I need to talk to Miss Xiao." Xue Lingxiao said, "Miss Xiao, that flower just now..."

Dong Gui refused to budge, holding the dry firewood horizontally, blocking Xue Lingxiao completely. Xiao Jiuyue's figure was getting farther and farther away. Xue Lingxiao half-closed his eyes and looked into Dong Gui's eyes: "I've never seen a maid as stupid as you."

"It's OK as long as the young lady doesn't mind that I'm stupid." Dong Gui puffed out her chest, not taking Xue Lingxiao's words seriously at all.

Xue Lingxiao turned away.

On the hillside not far away, Zhuang Xianxian watched this scene, gritting her teeth in anger.

Xue Han comforted her, "Sister Xianxian, it must be that vixen surnamed Xiao who seduced Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao only has Sister Xianxian in his heart."

Zhuang Xianxian was about to shred the handkerchief in her hand. She had seen clearly how Xue Lingxiao had chased Xiao Jiuyue and how he had been stopped by Xiao Jiuyue's maid. She took a deep breath and said coldly, "She's just a clever and pretty girl, a woman of low status."

"That's right, she's just a woman of low status, not even worthy of being a concubine." Xue Han agreed. Seeing Zhuang Xianxian breaking off the branches nearby, she decisively changed the subject and said, "Sister Xianxian, shall we go hunting? Let's eat wild rabbit today?"

"Let's go." Zhuang Xianxian turned and left.

Xiao Jiuyue took Donggui back home after collecting firewood. Sun Shaolan, who was very experienced, rubbed salt on the pheasant and put it on the fire to roast. Sun Shaolan said, "Sister Xiao, roasting a chicken takes too long. How about we go hunt some more?"

Xiao Jiuyue didn't say anything and looked at Tang Tian who was unconscious beside him.

"It smells so good." Tang Tian closed her eyes and sniffed. She opened her eyes and suddenly sat up. When she saw the two roasted chickens on the fire, her eyes lit up.

"Cousin, there's a snake!" Sun Shaolan said deliberately.

Frightened, Tang Tian rushed over to Sun Shaolan, hugged her tightly, looked around, and asked tremblingly, "Where is the snake?"

"Hahaha!" Sun Shaolan doubled over with laughter and said, "Cousin, there are no snakes. All the snakes have been caught."

Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then pinched Sun Shaolan's waist fiercely and said aggrievedly, "Why are you still scaring me?"

"I'm not trying to scare you!" Sun Shaolan gasped in pain and said, "I'm helping you. If you run into this a few more times, you won't be afraid anymore."

"No." Tang Tian sat huddled by the fire, looking at the pheasant roasting on the fire, drooling with greed.

"Cousin." Sun Shaolan just opened her mouth when Tang Tian shrank back to Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Don't talk to me."

"..." Sun Shaolan's mouth twitched, and she said, "Sister Xiao, let's go hunting. Let her stay here and guard the roast chicken."

"Yes, I can stay here." Tang Tian nodded repeatedly, indicating that they could leave.

Xiao Jiuyue hadn't hunted much today, so he didn't refuse and followed Sun Shaolan to the mountains again. This time, Xiao Jiuyue was lucky and not only encountered pheasants, but also wild rabbits.

"Miss, another wild animal is coming." Dong Gui's voice sounded. Xiao Jiuyue stood up and looked in the direction of the voice.

"Help!" Zhuang Xianxian's voice rang out. When she saw Xiao Jiuyue, she ran straight towards Xiao Jiuyue, followed by a wild boar cub with a green face and fangs!
