Chapter 31 Picked up Po’s snacks!
get out of class is over.
Xue Che closed the bookcase, picked it up and left. He was going to the kitchen to meet Su Zhizhi.
When I was lifting the bookcase, my hand accidentally slipped and the bookcase was about to fall sideways on the ground.
"careful!"
A hand reached out to support the bookcase in time, then quickly withdrew.
When Xue Che saw that the owner of this hand was Li Zhangsheng, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Li Zhangsheng smiled awkwardly: "Be careful when walking."
Then, as if afraid of revealing something, he strode away with the other classmates without waiting for Xue Che to say anything.
Xue Che didn't understand why Li Zhangsheng was acting a little abnormally today.
Before he had time to think about it, he met Su Zhizhi and Gu Qingning on the road.
Su Zhizhi and Gu Qingning both looked very good, with rosy little faces.
Eat well, sleep well, do well in schoolwork, and be with playmates every day.
If you ignore Li Shaoer and his gang, life is still pretty comfortable.
"Ache, did you have classes outside today?"
Su Zhizhi was a little envious, she also wanted to take classes outdoors.
Her butt was stiff from sitting in the lecture hall.
Xue Che's long eyelashes were coated with a layer of gold by the sunlight:
"Today, Principal Liu will lead us in reciting poems based on the scene, and then have us paint a picture and write the poem on it."
Su Zhizhi: "Have you finished your painting?"
Xue Che: "It's done."
"Let me take a look, let me take a look." Su Zhizhi was so curious and excited that she couldn't stop herself.
Xue Che knew that Su Zhizhi would not be able to wait any longer, so he turned around and pointed the bookcase on his back at Su Zhizhi:
"It's in the bookcase, the outermost volume."
"Zhizhi, let me take a look too." Gu Qingning also leaned over to take a look.
Su Zhizhi reached in and grabbed something slippery.
When she took it out and looked at it, it was not a scroll, but a small green snake.
Gu Qingning's face turned pale, and she quickly slapped Su Zhizhi's wrist:
"Zhizhi! It's a snake! Put it down!"
When Xue Che heard Gu Qingning's cry, he frowned and looked back, and saw a snake as thick as a thumb being held in Su Zhizhi's hand.
Xue Che: "Zhizhi, throw it away!"
Su Zhizhi: “Oh.”
Ever since the Green Snake Village went to Black Bandit Mountain to cause trouble, Su Zhizhi had seen many snakes. Now, this little snake looked like a small insect to him.
Su Zhizhi threw the snake onto the rock next to her, and the little snake fainted.
The next moment, she quickly picked up the unconscious snake and found a thin rope to tie it up.
"It's just right. I'll go home in a couple of days and give it to Po."
Su Zhizhi felt like she had found a surprise on the road.
Xue Che: ...
Gu Qingning: ...
Gu Qingning felt uneasy: "But why is there a snake in Xue Che's bookcase?"
Normally, a snake wouldn't appear from a bookcase for no reason unless someone put it there on purpose.
Su Zhizhi looked at Xue Che: "A Che, did you see anyone throwing things into your bookcase?"
Xue Che shook his head, his eyes flickering.
He didn't see it, but he could guess.
…
Li Zhangsheng was feeling very nervous.
Nervous and excited.
He wandered under the willow trees by the pond, holding a scroll in his hand, but he didn't read a single word.
From now until tonight, he might hear Xue Che's miserable screams at any time.
When the time comes, he will pretend to be very surprised and scared and walk over.
Then Xue Che would be carried away unconscious, and the bite wound might still bleed profusely.
No one will find out that he did it, so the only one to blame is Xue Che's bad luck.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Li Shaoer happened to pass by.
Li Zhangsheng suppressed his emotions and glared at his sister:
"I'm studying, can't you see?"
Li Zhangsheng was born to the principal wife of the Li family, while Li Shaoer was the daughter of Li Changshi's favorite concubine.
Li Zhangsheng and his half-sister have never gotten along well.
Li Shaoer resisted the urge to roll her eyes:
"You've got your book upside down, what are you reading?"
"Reading backwards, this is called reading backwards, do you understand?"
Li Zhangsheng felt a little guilty and said in a serious tone:
"Why are you doing something shameful here instead of going back to your shrine? Don't bring shame to our Li family!"
When Li Shaoer heard this, her face turned pale, and she said, "What's it to you?" and ran away holding the hem of her skirt.
She did have something on her mind, and what Li Zhangsheng said made her a little flustered, and her steps became unsteady.
Only when she reached the edge of the rockery did she take a few deep breaths.
After a while, Zhou Xiaomeng also came:
"Shao'er, what did you call me for?"
Li Shaoer took Zhou Xiaomeng's hand with a fake smile:
"Xiao Meng, you felt wronged about what happened last time, didn't you? This time, we're going to make Su Zhizhi look bad!"
Li Shaoer whispered a few words in Zhou Xiaomeng's ear.
Zhou Xiaomeng looked around and swallowed:
"Will someone find out?"
Li Shaoer took off a piece of translucent jade from her neck and handed it to Zhou Xiaomeng:
"No one will find out."
"Once you put this jade in her room, I will immediately ask someone to help me find the jade."
"But be careful with this jade. My father gave it to me on my birthday last year. It's worth dozens of taels of gold."
Li Shaoer felt a little distressed, but then he thought that it was just a show and it was not like he couldn't get it back.
Anyway, Su Zhizhi is a poor girl from the mountains, so people will definitely believe it if you say she steals things.
Zhou Xiaomeng was a little hesitant, but thinking about how badly Su Zhizhi had treated her that day when she threw ink, she bit her lip:
"Okay, I'll go there later."
There is a separate water room in the academy.
Students who need to wash go to the water room to get hot water.
The weather in Lingnan is hot and humid, and the active Su Zhizhi is always sweating.
After she and Gu Qingning finished dinner, they took a basin of water and a towel to the bathroom to take a bath.
Zhou Xiaomeng and Li Shaoer hid behind the corridor pillars and watched Su Zhizhi and Gu Qingning walk away.
"Go quickly, I'll watch." Li Shaoer pushed Zhou Xiaomeng out.
Zhou Xiaomeng's heart was beating as fast as a gong and drum. She looked around and hurriedly pushed the door open and entered the room.
She first put the jade on the table and then on the bed, but it was too conspicuous no matter how you looked at it.
Zhou Xiaomeng looked around anxiously and caught sight of Su Zhizhi's bookcase on the floor beside the bed.
She suddenly had an idea and opened Su Zhizhi's bookcase to hide the jade in it.
She had just opened the lid of the box, and before the smile on her face could disappear, she saw a green snake crawling out of the bookcase.
The snake that Su Zhizhi had knocked unconscious during the day had woken up at some point. Its slippery body escaped from the hemp rope and wrapped itself around Zhou Xiaomeng's arm in the blink of an eye.
"Ah! Snake! There's a snake!"
“Help!”
Zhou Xiaomeng jumped three feet high.
How come there is a snake in Su Zhizhi's bookcase? ! !
She was shaking her arms desperately and shouting for help.
But the snake was still wrapped around her hand, and the cold and sticky touch scared her so much that she got goose bumps all over her body.
"Help! There's a snake!"
"Don't bite me! Ah——"
Zhou Xiaomeng burst into tears and ran out of the room crying.
It was at this moment that the green snake opened its mouth and bit her arm.
"ah--"
Zhou Xiaomeng felt a pain in his hand, his legs went weak, and he fell forward.
The jade in his hand also flew out, hit the ground, and broke into several pieces on the spot.
Li Shaoer, who was staring in the corner, couldn't help it and ran over angrily.
She was ready to shout that someone had stolen her jade, but after a while, Zhou Xiaomeng ran out crying, saying there was a snake.
Li Shaoer couldn't see clearly whether there was a snake in Zhou Xiaomeng's hand, but she clearly saw that her jade was broken.
That is her most precious jade!
She immediately felt extremely distressed:
"You idiot! You actually dropped my jade!"
Li Shaoer walked forward, but instead of helping Zhou Xiaomeng up, he kicked her angrily.
When Li Shaoer retracted his foot, he felt something wrapped around his ankle.
Cool and smooth.
She looked down and met the green snake's dark green eyes.
"Snake, snake, snake..." Li Shaoer's face instantly lost all color and he fell directly to the ground.
When the others heard the noise, they all came running over.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Zhou Xiaomeng and Li Shaoer lying on the ground, one lying on his stomach and the other sitting backwards.
"Help me take the snake away!"
"quick!"
Li Shaoer herself didn't dare to touch the snake, and neither did the other female students in the dormitory.
Although they were afraid of Li Shaoer, they were more afraid of the snake at the moment.
Li Shaoer could only watch helplessly as the snake crawled up his legs, across his thighs, stomach, shoulders... and finally coiled around his neck.
Li Shaoer's whole body was stiff and he couldn't move.
The green snake coiled tighter and tighter around her neck, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"Help... take it away..."
Li Shaoer's lips turned purple, his eyes turned black, and his body began to twitch.
She felt like she was going to die.
I really regret this moment.
She shouldn't have given this jade to Zhou Xiaomeng.
She shouldn't have come over when Zhou Xiaomeng fell...
"What happened?"
"Where's the snake?"
The servant in charge of cleaning the academy came over and used a pole to lead the snake away from Li Shaoer's neck.
Li Shaoer's neck was released, leaving circles of red marks, and his chest heaved violently.
Su Zhizhi and Gu Qingning, who had originally gone to the bathroom, also followed the crowd back at this time.
The two looked at Li Shaoer who was lying on the ground in confusion.
Li Shaoer vaguely saw Su Zhizhi's face in the crowd, her lips trembling:
“You…are…good…”
Before he could finish his words, his head tilted and he fainted.
