Many people flocked to the scene, holding clods of mud in their hands, but the snake darted around incredibly fast, being thin and long, and didn't hit them at all. Instead, the mud ended up hitting their feet.

"Are your eyes on the top of your head? Aim carefully before you throw!"

"I didn't want to either, but snakes dart around so fast, how am I supposed to know where they'll stop?"

The snake, chased around by the crowd, was thin and long, but was forced back to its original position and swam towards Zhu Fengru.

"Ah..." Zhu Fengru had just stood up when she saw the snake swimming towards her and quickly retreated. The next second, she clutched her leg and fell to the ground, her face contorted in pain, her teeth chattering in fear. "I was bitten by a snake."

She shakily rolled up her trouser leg, too afraid to look.

None of the people on the entire loess slope brought baskets; they were just there to pull up corn seedlings. Who would have thought they'd encounter a snake?

Zhu Fengru was lying on the ground, drenched in cold sweat from the pain. Two skull-shaped holes had been bitten into her legs, and she was terrified.

Lin Yuxi looked at the chaotic scene over there. The two of them were not far apart to begin with, and today the women were all assigned to pull the seedlings together, so not many dared to go over there.

Lin Yuxi picked up the wooden stick she had just thrown away and walked quickly towards it. The stick had a sharp end, and with quick reflexes, she pinned the snake to the ground, rendering it unable to move.

The other women were terrified, their faces pale. How could the snake have been subdued so easily?

Zhu Fengru was so frightened that she fainted and collapsed to the ground. The women next to her quickly lifted her up.

"Quickly, find a barefoot doctor."

Zhu Fengru was carried past Lin Yuxi. She looked down at the snake, a medium-sized rat snake. It must have been frightened to bite. She reached out and pinched the snake's neck, then walked quite a distance away and released it.

The seedlings in the field had been mostly pulled up, and Lin Yuxi followed them back.

After half a day, I only earned one work point.

Zhu Fengru was carried from the loess slope to the village by several people but did not wake up until she was taken to the barefoot doctor's house.

"Cuihua, come quick! Zhu Fengru has been bitten by a snake."

Liu Cuihua washed her hands, quickly rolled up her trouser leg. There was no redness or swelling on her leg. She treated the wound slightly and then reached out to pinch Zhu Fengru's philtrum.

"Comrade Fengru, wake up?"

Liu Cuihua patted Zhu Fengru's cheek, leaving a red mark on her philtrum, but she still didn't wake up, so she increased the pressure.

"Ah... there's a snake." Zhu Fengru was quite frightened, her face was pale, the image of the snake was still swirling in her mind, and she was still muttering to herself. However, when she opened her eyes, she stared blankly at the group of people in front of her.

"You're awake? The snake that bit you wasn't poisonous. I just treated your wound; you'll be fine after a couple of days of rest," Liu Cuihua said slowly.

Zhu Fengru was so frightened that her limbs went weak and she couldn't move while lying down. So she turned to the woman next to her and asked, "Auntie, where's the snake? Did you catch it?"

She was so frightened when she was bitten that she had no idea where the snake went.

"Lin Yuxi caught the snake. Thanks to her, otherwise who knows who would have been bitten?" The woman looked at the two bloody holes on her ankle and felt relieved. Then she said, "Since you're alright, I'll head back now."

Lin Yuxi?

Zhu Fengru's face paled. How could it be her?

She and Zhao Xiaotong caused such a scene at her house a while ago, so why did she end up saving her?
