Bao Ning screamed, picked up Ah Huang, turned around and ran into the house.

She slammed the door shut, leaned against the door panel and gasped, the pair of treacherous snake eyes in her mind lingered, turned into dozens or even hundreds of pairs, circling around her.

Bao Ning wiped her tears and cried to Pei Yuan: "Fourth Prince, wake up, there are snakes outside, snakes!"

Pei Yuan was awake, and had been listening to the movements outside. Hearing Bao Ning's words, he understood in an instant that there were snakes in the bag sent by Huang Ji.

He thought of the things Pei Xiao had been doing in secret, and his heart sank. He

was careless.

"Close the door tightly!" Pei Yuan's eyes were cold. He sat up, pulled out a dagger from under the pillow, and shouted to Baoning, "Come to me! Don't lean against the door."

"The door lock is broken..." Baoning felt her throat was dry and her hands were shaking. She leaned against the door and slowly slid down. "I'll hold it. After a while, it will go away, right?"

Baoning looked at Pei Yuan with red eyes, wanting to get his affirmation, and tremblingly said, "Aren't snakes the most afraid of people?"

"That's an ordinary snake." Pei Yuan's face looked very bad. "This snake has received professional training and has a fierce temperament. It is best at attacking people. It will follow the scent of human beings and will not be able to hide."

Baoning was dizzy and didn't understand what Pei Yuan meant for a while. Her legs were weak and she couldn't even stand up. Ah Huang jumped off her and pulled the corner of her clothes.

Bao Ning held the door with one hand and tried to get up, but suddenly there was a strong force behind her. Bao Ning staggered and fell to the ground. Her palms rubbed against the ground, leaving blood marks. The pain made her sober up instantly.

Pei Yuan shouted: "Get up quickly and come to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Ning heard two "whoosh, whoosh" sounds in her ears, and two bright yellow corn kernels flew past her quickly, followed by the "hiss" sound of something inhaling.

"Woof!" Ah Huang shouted, and then rushed over and grabbed the snake's neck, biting it tightly and refusing to let go.

It was still small, but it had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. It ate well and was strong. The snake's head and body were shaken by the bite, and its tail hit the door panel with a "pa pa" sound. It couldn't get away for a while.

Pei Yuan yelled, "Ah Huang, don't touch it!"

Bao Ning took the opportunity to stand up and ran to Pei Yuan's side. He grabbed her wrist and threw her back, pulling her behind him.

She mustered up the courage to look over. Standing at the door was a big shiny black snake, as thick as an adult's forearm, with a scary red tip. There were a pair of vicious and alert vertical eyes on its head, one of which was bruised by corn kernels and bleeding profusely. The snake was already angry after being attacked, and its long neck stood up, swinging violently left and right with Ah Huang's movements, trying to throw it off.

Bao Ning's eyes went dark and she almost fainted: "Ah Huang, come down quickly!"

"Hide behind me." Pei Yuan noticed her body trembling, and held her shoulders with his backhand, asked her to sit down, and whispered, "Don't panic."

"It's all sweat." Pei Yuan's hand slid down to Bao Ning's wrist, pinched her hand and wiped it on the hem of his clothes: "Don't hold your strength, breathe, and breathe out."

His palm was dry and warm. Bao Ning rested her forehead on Pei Yuan's shoulder and exhaled slowly. Her violently beating heart gradually calmed down.

Ah Huang heard Bao Ning's voice, hesitated for a while, let go, and jumped to Bao Ning's side.

The snake on the ground immediately stretched its neck to bite forward, but missed. It hesitated for a moment, gave up chasing Ah Huang, turned its head towards Pei Yuan, and swam over quickly.

Bao Ning suddenly remembered what Pei Yuan had just said: This snake has received professional training, it will follow the scent of human beings to find them, and it cannot hide.

The room is not big, and in less than a breath, the red-headed snake stood up in front of him, its head was the same red as blood, its tongue was forked, and it was hissing.

Pei Yuan held the short knife in his right hand, and his thumb stroked the scabbard. At the moment when the red-headed snake showed its fangs and swooped over, Pei Yuan raised his hand, and the heavy scabbard flew out and hit the wall with a "bang".

The snake was attracted and immediately turned its head to look over. Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes and attacked its vital point with the knife.

The red-headed snake came to its senses, tilted its head to block, bit the blade with its mouth, and its fangs spurted out black venom, which mixed with the blood from the corners of its mouth and sprayed out, landing on the quilt, dotting a bunch of cloudy flowers.

The snake was in pain and became more vengeful. It took a step back and was about to attack again, but Pei Yuan grabbed its neck and cut off its head with a knife. The

black snake body fell to the ground with a "bang", curled up unbearably, and its rough scales rubbed scratches on the ground.

The room became quiet, with only the rustling friction sound.

Baoning's heart slowly fell.

"If you grab it again, my hand will be broken." Pei Yuan's voice reached her ears. Bao Ning raised her head blankly and met Pei Yuan's half-smiled eyes. He raised his eyebrows and pointed at her hand with his chin. "By then, not only will I be unable to move my legs, but also my hands. You have to serve me well."

Bao Ning looked over and found that she had been holding Pei Yuan's wrist tightly. Her long nails had broken a layer of Pei Yuan's skin, and blood was oozing out.

It was hard for him to keep silent.

Bao Ning quickly let go of his hand, feeling embarrassed, and rubbed him gently with her fingertips, saying in a flattering way: "It's my fault, don't be angry, I'll make you something delicious tonight."

Her fingertips were a little cold, but very soft, without any knots, and her finger bones were thin and fragile, completely different from his hands that were used to holding swords.

"I'm not angry." Pei Yuan's throat was a little dry, he licked his lips, and just wanted to say something else, he saw Bao Ning's face change suddenly: "Pei Yuan!"

Ah Huang also took action, rushed over, and wanted to slap the snake head away with a slap.

But it was still a step too late.

The bloody snake head suddenly moved, moved forward more than a foot, and then opened its mouth and bit Pei Yuan's left leg.

Bao Ning's heart was pounding with fear, and she didn't care about being scared anymore. She rushed forward, grabbed the snake's head, pried its mouth open, and threw it to the ground.

Two bloody holes suddenly appeared an inch above Pei Yuan's ankles, and black dirty blood flowed out.

Bao Ning's tears suddenly welled up: "Pei Yuan..."

She was so panicked that she didn't know where to put her hands. Her heart seemed to stop beating. In her heart, she silently recited what Aunt Ming taught her, what to do after being bitten by a poisonous snake.

Tie the front end of the wound with a cloth belt, and then make a small cross-shaped incision on the wound to suck out the poisonous blood. The faster you do it, the higher the chance of survival. Without

a cloth belt, it was too troublesome to tear the clothes, so Bao Ning simply took off her belt and tied it around Pei Yuan's calf.

The only knife was stained with poisonous blood, and there was no time to go to the kitchen to get some. Baoning pressed the wound and squeezed it, then took a deep breath, lowered his head and sucked on that spot, took a deep breath, and spit it out on the ground.

The spitted blood was still black.

Bao Ning panicked even more, she was really afraid that Pei Yuan would die.

Bao Ning wiped her lips and was about to take a second sip when Pei Yuan stopped her.

"No need." He pinched Bao Ning's shoulders, took her into his arms, rubbed the corners of her eyes, wiped away her tears, frowned and said, "Why do you always cry?"

Pei Yuan said this, but his eyes were gentle, and his tone was also rare to be gentle. He chuckled: "Little crybaby."

Bao Ning couldn't laugh. Her eyes were red, like a frightened rabbit. She had no time to pay attention to Pei Yuan. She pushed him away and wanted to deal with the poisonous blood.

In her impression, the snake just now, with bright colors and a sharp head, should be highly poisonous.

She didn't know why Pei Yuan acted so calm, was he too confident in his body, or did he not want to live, but she didn't dare to stop. If it was too late, Pei Yuan might die.

"Really, there's no need." Pei Yuan sighed and grabbed Bao Ning's wrist. "It's the left leg that's bitten. You won't die."

Bao Ning didn't understand and cried, "Why?"

"Didn't you always want to know what happened to my leg?" Pei Yuan pulled her to sit down, his expression a little solemn, "I'm going to tell you now, do you want to listen?"

Bao Ning nodded.

Pei Yuan said, "It's this kind of poison."

Bao Ning was shocked: "Have you been bitten by a snake like this before?"

"It's not a snake." Pei Yuan paused, "It's a poisonous rat."

"I didn't want to tell you this."

Pei Yuan raised his hand and adjusted Bao Ning's collar. Her belt was loose, her coat was open, revealing her light pink underwear. Pei Yuan untied the belt on his leg and tied it for her.

Bao Ning was stunned, even forgot to be shy, and let him do whatever he wanted.

Pei Yuan finished, then looked up and looked into Bao Ning's eyes: "Some things are dirty and private, and cannot be seen in the light. The fewer people who know, the better. First, we are afraid that it will get out, and second, the person who knows it will not be able to escape."

Bao Ning hesitated and shook his head: "I don't understand."

Pei Yuan said slowly: "My leg was bitten by a poisonous rat in prison."

"This poison is very strong. Either you lose your leg or your life. I can only seal the acupoint on my left leg, so that the poison remains in my leg. Although my left leg cannot move, my life is safe. You have seen the wounds on my body. They were cut with a knife to detoxify. The wound on my leg is the same, for bleeding."

"The poisonous rats that time and the poisonous snakes today were both raised by Pei Xiao. He has a subordinate named Gongsun Zhu who specializes in poison techniques and is good at using drugs to train those fierce creatures, making them both toxic and good at attacking people, so that they can kill the people he wants to kill without anyone noticing."

"But it takes a long time to cultivate poisonous creatures. To cultivate one, you have to fail many times and spend many years. I am very honored that he gave me such precious things twice."

Bao Ning looked at him in shock.

She thought of the scars all over Pei Yuan's body, and she couldn't imagine how cruel he had to be to do it. That was his own flesh.

And Pei Xiao, a brother, how could he be so cruel?

... And what did Pei Yuan want to say?

Pei Yuan touched her eyelids and whispered, "Did you think that I chased you away because I didn't like you?"

Bao Ning's eyelashes fluttered and she nodded.

"Well, that's true." Pei Yuan said, "But there is another layer. We are husband and wife. If Pei Xiao wants to deal with me, do you think he will let you go? I don't want more people to get involved in this matter. I'm afraid that person will regret it and blame me, and I'm also afraid that someone will bite me back and add insult to injury."

Pei Yuan chuckled, "Bao Ning, you are so unlucky to meet me. I am too selfish. If I don't want something, I will throw it away even if it is put in my hand. But if I want something, I will peel off a layer of skin from him even if the king of heaven comes to snatch it. I have given you many opportunities. I have changed my mind now. Now even if you want to leave, you can't leave anymore."
