Shen Liwu's eyes were slightly red, and her fingers were still trembling slightly. It was obvious that she had not fully recovered from the shock just now.

"You just took a big risk. What if it..."

"Nothing will happen." Zhou Yanjing interrupted her, his eyes firm, "I won't let it hurt you, and I won't let anything happen to me."

Shen Liwu looked up at him, moved and adoring, "Then let's dig the ginseng and take it home."

I didn't expect that I would almost get bitten by a snake. My luck is so bad. I'd better go down the mountain and stop digging herbs.

"good."

Zhou Yanjing dug ginseng quickly, and Shen Liwu stood aside, staring closely at Zhou Yanjing's movements, fearing that he would encounter any danger again.

Zhou Yanjing bent down, holding the small shovel in his hand, and his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was treating a precious work of art. The soil was peeled away little by little under his shovel, revealing the complete root system of the ginseng. Each whisker is thick and coiled, like a sleeping dragon, exuding a faint scent of earth.

"This root is really long. It seems that this ginseng is indeed quite old." Zhou Yanjing said in a low voice with a hint of admiration in his tone.

"We were lucky today and had a great harvest."

Zhou Yanjing collected the ginseng, took her hand and prepared to go down the mountain, but he didn't expect Shen Liwu to stand there without moving.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Liwu stared at the dead cobra with a bit of pity, she asked: "How is your knife skills?"

Zhou Yanjing raised his eyebrows and moved his gaze from the snake's body to her face. "Do you want me to dissect it?"

Shen Liwu nodded, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "The venom of the cobra is very valuable for research, and I don't want to waste this opportunity. I also want snake gall, which has a high medicinal value."

Zhou Yanjing chuckled, let go of her hand, squatted down and looked at the snake carefully. He pulled out another small knife from his waist and gently ran the tip of the knife across the snake's head with practiced and precise movements.

"When I was doing field training, the instructor taught us how to handle venomous snakes." His voice was low and full of memories. "The venom sac is right here. You have to take it out carefully, otherwise it will easily break."

Shen Liwu squatted beside him, staring at his movements intently, afraid of missing any details. Her breathing was very light, as if any heavier breathing would affect his movements.

"Be careful not to get contaminated by the remaining venom." Her voice was almost a whisper, with a hint of nervousness.

Zhou Yanjing glanced at her sideways, a confident smile on his face, "Don't worry, this little thing won't be difficult for me."

After he finished speaking, he slightly raised the tip of the knife in his hand, and a small transparent sac was completely peeled off from the snake's head. He carefully placed the venom sac into a small bottle and peeled the snake's gallbladder.

He wiped his hands on his pants, and when he felt they were clean, he took her hand and said, "Can we go down the mountain now?"

"Let's go, hurry up. This snake will smell blood, and it will attract wolves."

The two quickly packed up their things, Zhou Yanjing holding the cloth bag containing ginseng in one hand and holding Shen Liwu tightly with the other hand.

The mountain road under my feet was rugged and uneven, with occasional pieces of gravel rolling and making slight noises. Shen Liwu's feet slipped and she almost fell, but fortunately Zhou Yanjing was quick and caught her.
