"Young master, are you here to see the snakes?"
The man who opened the door to greet the guests was a man in his fifties with a slightly hunched back and several bite marks on his hands, which, although healed, were still black.
He was clearly a snake catcher.
Shen Liang stood in front of the two baskets of snakes, smelling the muddy, fishy odor emanating from them. Looking at the smooth, mottled snakes, he felt a little nauseous and a little scared.
“I need a venomous snake that won’t kill a person if it bites, but will still have some venom,” Shen Liang said.
The snake catcher said, "Young master, you've arrived just in time. The viper will meet your requirements, but there's only one left. If you had come any later, it might have been sold to someone else."
"Okay, pack it up for me. If you get bitten by this kind of snake, you can get treatment at a regular clinic, right?"
"That's right, vipers are venomous, but most people can survive being bitten by them because the venom is not very potent and the necessary medicines are easy to obtain."
As the snake catcher spoke, he took a good look at Shen Liang and saw that Shen Liang had a rather handsome and refined appearance.
The young master mentioned biting people earlier, and he was thinking of taking it back to eat. He was just in case something happened, so he was being careful, but the conditions were a bit deliberate. Now that he has emphasized it again, he still feels that something is not quite right.
But who cares? He's just selling snakes here, why should he care what other people do with the snakes?
The snake catcher loaded the snake into Shen Liang's bag, and Shen Liang paid and left.
"Take care, young master. Come again if you need anything." The snake catcher saw the man out.
Qiao Lian'er sat on a tree branch, pondering whether the snake would bite Shen Liang or someone else.
Shen Liang returned to Datong Lane first. He put the snake bag in his study and watched the viper moving around inside. He said in a low voice, "Shi Murou, in order to marry you, I have to take a risky approach. Otherwise, I won't be able to get Old Master Shi to agree to our marriage."
"I hope you won't let me down, and I hope I didn't get bitten by the snake for nothing."
"Otherwise, I will resent and hate you for the rest of my life."
Qiao Lian'er, standing by the wall outside, suddenly realized that Shen Liang was using a self-inflicted injury ruse.
When Shi Murou arrives, they will definitely stage a scene of a hero rescuing the rich, hoping to move the Shi family and quickly finalize their marriage.
Qiao Lian'er stood up, dusted off the dust and leaves, and left.
In the county town, she played cat and mouse with Yang Laoda and Yang Laoer, which greatly improved her experience in stalking and hiding from people, and today went very smoothly.
She was thinking that what happened next was none of her business. After all, Shen Liang's scheme was about the Shi family, and what they did was their business.
Just as she was about to go back, Qiao Lian'er stopped in her tracks.
No, the Shi family and the Shen family cannot be together, otherwise the Shen family will use the Shi family to take revenge on the Qiao family.
Once they become family, the Shi family can't possibly ignore the Shen family's needs.
The Shen family's attitude also revealed this meaning: they would never let the Qiao family off the hook in the future.
In the future, I'm afraid I'll have to pay back ten or a hundred times the humiliation I suffered in front of the Qiao family.
A cold glint appeared in Qiao Lian'er's eyes.
She turned back and went to Daying Lane.
However, before they even entered the alley, they saw Shi Murou walking out with her maid. The maid was carrying a basket, so they must have come out to buy something.
"Little girl, you've come to town." Shi Murou's eyes lit up when she saw her, and she quickly walked over.
