"Hey, where did you come from, you little vixen? Prepare to die."

The heavenly voice startled Shen Banxia, ​​who opened her eyes with a start. It was all over.

"Little field mouse, get away quickly, you're no match for me!" Shen Banxia was extremely anxious and finally managed to shout out with all her might.

"Hey, watch this!" The little field mouse bared its teeth and charged forward standing up, biting the red and black snake's vital spot with lightning speed.

Don't ask Shen Banxia how she knew. In fact, she had demonstrated in her mind countless times how to defeat the enemy with one move and directly grasp the vital point of the snake. But in reality, she couldn't even move her body.

"Be careful!" The black and red snake, its seven-inch mark pinned down, struggled desperately, causing goosebumps to rise all over Shen Banxia's arms.

The little field mouse didn't seem to care at all, and even turned around to comfort Chen Banxia, ​​"You females are just too weak, you're even afraid of a little poisonous snake."

Shen Banxia: ...

A venomous snake as thick as her arm and over a meter long—is it a tiny venomous snake?

Shen Banxia realized that she had almost forgotten how to read the character "小" (xiǎo).

Compared to the venomous snake, the little field mouse seemed like it could be easily wrapped up by the snake's tail.

Despite being natural enemies, the little field mouse broke through the bloodline suppression and underwent a mutation, truly defying the natural order.

"You're amazing," Shen Banxia had to admit.

"hey-hey".

A sudden change occurred.

"Little field mouse—", the snake, having escaped the mouse's mouth, turned around and bit the little field mouse.

The little field mouse darted away and narrowly escaped.

"Waaaaah, it's gone mad!" The venomous snake was enraged and chased after the little field mouse relentlessly.

Shen Banxia wanted to help, but she was powerless to do so. She couldn't move and was as stiff as a wooden stake.

"Damn it, just because I'm not showing my power doesn't mean I'm a pushover!" The little field mouse stopped running and charged straight at the mouse.

In the blink of an eye, with lightning speed, it bit the snake's vital spot again. This time, it was not careless and held on tightly.

Fresh blood flowed from its mouth, and a few minutes later...

"Ptooey, ptooey, bad luck, damn it, water, water, water, waaaah, I'm dirty, I'm dirty, I need to wash my mouth, wash my mouth!" The little field mouse jumped up and down looking for water.

Shen Banxia was left alone, staring at the motionless snake at the door.

When the little field mouse returned, seeing that Chen Banxia was still motionless, it said, "What? Are you still scared? Didn't you already kill her? Sigh, females are so weak, we males are the strongest."

Shen Banxia didn't like arguing with it. "Get that snake away from me. I can't move because of it."

"What what?" The little field mouse kept circling around. "You want me to open it? Look at its size, and then look at mine. I've just become intelligent and heard more about human knowledge. I don't have hands." It looked like Chen Banxia had gone completely mad.

Shen Banxia twitched her lips. Well, she really was confused.

Zhou Mingqian was always there, and he knew about this problem of his, so he always got rid of it before he even realized it.

"What should we do then?" Shen Banxia was at a loss.

The little field mouse scratched its face with its paw, "No one else can understand what I'm saying."

Furthermore, if it goes out and gets discovered, it might end up on someone's dinner table.

The man and the rat looked at each other, both completely helpless against the huge, already dead creature.

It's the middle of the night, and the clinic is three or four hundred meters away from the nearest house, so calling for help isn't practical.

"Knock knock knock—" The urgent knocking on the door broke the silence between the man and the mouse.

The little field mouse scurried about, signaling, "Someone's coming!"

"Xiaxia, are you there? Xiaxia, it's me. Are you asleep? Open the door."

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Banxia perked up, but she still couldn't move. Fortunately, she could speak now, "Zhou Mingqian, you're finally back."

Hearing his wife's tearful voice, Zhou Mingqian became even more anxious. "Xiaxia, what's wrong? Don't scare me. Be good, I'm back. Don't be afraid."

Shen Banxia didn't want to cry, but tonight's experience left her shocked, angry, and aggrieved.

"Waaaaah, Zhou Mingqian, I can't move."

Zhou Mingqian was anxious and banged on the door repeatedly, shouting, "Don't be afraid, I'm back."

The wooden door was sturdy and secured with wooden bolts.

Shen Banxia didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Mingqian, so she said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

With a clang, the door opened, and the little field mouse concealed its merits and fame.

Zhou Mingqian hurried to Shen Banxia's room.

Using the flashlight's beam, he ran straight to Shen Banxia and hugged her tightly.

Feeling her stiff body, he said, "Don't be afraid, I'm back, wife. I'm sorry I'm late."

"Waaah, Zhou Mingqian, snake! There's a snake at the door! Get it out of here!"

Zhou Mingqian dared not delay, as he knew his wife's problem.

After getting rid of the dead snake, he washed his hands and came back, hugging Chen Banxia. "Wife, it's gone. It's been thrown out. Don't be afraid anymore."

Shen Banxia then felt the blood flowing through her body, and her body slowly regained sensation.

Only later did I realize that my vest was soaked.

Zhou Mingqian found a towel and placed it behind his back, patting him gently while muttering, "Touching his fur won't scare him."

Perhaps knowing she was safe, Shen Banxia finally relaxed. With her mind at ease, she became unaware of anything and vaguely seemed to hear Zhou Mingqian's voice.

"Xiaxia, Xiaxia—".

When Shen Banxia regained consciousness, she saw white walls and electric lights. Looking down at the hospital gown she was wearing, she realized, "Is this a hospital?"

Memories return, a venomous snake appears, a little field mouse battles the snake, Zhou Mingqian returns—is all of this real?

"Xiaxia, wife," a hoarse, anxious voice pulled Chen Banxia from her reverie. Looking at Zhou Mingqian, who was unshaven, his clothes were wrinkled, and his eyes were bloodshot, she asked, "You didn't sleep all night?"

"Wife, you scared me to death," Zhou Mingqian wanted to hug his wife.

"I'm fine now," Shen Banxia said, surprised. "By the way, is my baby alright?" she asked, still worried. A doctor can't heal himself, and she couldn't calm down to take her own pulse.

"The doctor said you need to rest well and avoid getting emotional, as that would be bad for the baby."

Shen Banxia nodded.

"How did I end up in the hospital? What time is it now? I..."

Zhou Mingqian interrupted her directly, "Eat first, wife. This is porridge I specially made for you. The doctor said to eat something light first."

No sooner had she finished speaking than her stomach began to rumble.

Shen Banxia took the enamel mug. "I can do it myself, no need to feed me." She slurped it down in a few big mouthfuls. "Is that all?"

"The doctor said to eat this much for now."

Shen Banxia understood, but, "Why did you come back so quickly? Could it be that...?"

Seeing his wife's face change, he quickly said, "No, no, I'll explain it to you in detail when we get back. It's hard to explain in a short time." There are too many people and too many eyes in the hospital.

Although Shen Banxia was anxious, she knew this was not the place to talk.
