The child was indeed full of energy. When Su Xueyan heard the words "play games", she nodded hurriedly: "What games, sister? I want to play games!"
Su Qingluan stroked her sister's furry head and said with a smile, "Then you have to remember, wherever my feet land, your feet must land there too. Don't step anywhere else, okay?" Seeing her sister nod to show that she understood, she thought for a moment and added, "You can accidentally miss three times. If you do it more than three times, the reward will be gone!"
As he said that, he turned around and winked at Tian Xing'er and Liu'er: "You two follow behind my sister and help me 'supervise' her, okay?"
Su Xueyan is a child, but Tian Xing'er and Liu'er are already teenagers, so they naturally don't think that Su Qingluan is really "playing games" with a child.
In addition, considering that Su Qingluan had previously told them to be careful of snakes and that the work plan required them to tighten their sleeves and trouser legs, the two exchanged glances and nodded to Su Qingluan.
Only the little girl was still thinking about the "reward" of the game. She couldn't wait to pull Su Qingluan's sleeve and asked, "Sister, if I win, what reward will I get?"
"What reward does Xueyan want?" Su Qingluan walked forward a little, compacted the grass she walked on with her feet, and used branches to explore the way forward, lashing every place she could reach in the air to ensure that she could "alert the snake."
The little girl did not forget the "rules of the game". She carefully followed her elder sister's steps and took a step forward, stepping on the place where Su Qingluan had stepped before, and she stepped quite accurately.
After taking the first step, she thought for a moment: "Sister, I still want to eat candied bananas!"
Su Qingluan thought that children really like to eat those sweet and sticky things, so she smiled and nodded: "It's settled!"
The two people who were "holding up" behind them looked at the direction Su Qingluan was going down the mountain. Tian Xing'er stopped them and said, "Daya, didn't we just come up the mountain from this direction?"
Liu'er also nodded: "We haven't encountered any long insects before. Wouldn't it be safer and more reliable to return the same way?"
Su Qingluan shook her head. "We were going uphill when we came here just now, but there was a section where the grass was very slippery and wet from the rain, so if we weren't going uphill, we would have easily slipped. Let's find another way down the mountain with a gentler slope."
Liu'er nodded: "That's right, it's fine for the three of us, but if this little girl falls or gets hurt, I'll be heartbroken!"
Su Qingluan smiled and turned around to tease her little sister: "I can't believe you are so popular, little girl?"
The little girl immediately raised her face conceitedly.
Since they changed the direction of going down the mountain, there was no road ahead, so Su Qingluan had to be more cautious and test every step carefully before pressing the grass down.
This way of walking while exploring the way and pressing the grass is very tiring. If Su Qingluan had not walked a lot and had good physical strength, and had not consciously exercised her physical fitness, she would probably have been exhausted by now.
However, the two friends following behind him couldn't stand it anymore and came up together.
Tian Xing'er also broke off a branch from the side and frowned at Su Qingluan: "Go back and rest for a while, I see you stepping on the money like this and I'm tired of it!"
Liu Er also came over and echoed, "That's right, aren't you the youngest among the three of us? Let us feel like an older sister once in a while!"
She walked forward with an attitude of "Follow me and you will have meat to eat."
Although Su Qingluan is older than the two girls in front of her, she still feels very warm when she sees them "sharing the difficulties together".
"Since you all said so, then I'll naturally be happy to have some free time~" Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows and was about to retreat and follow the two of them.
That's when the accident happened.
Just when Tian Xing'er and Liu'er wanted to exchange places with Su Qingluan, Liu'er stepped into a dense patch of grass nearby. At the same time, she felt her feet go soft, as if she stepped on something soft.
Then in the next moment - the soft thing under her feet suddenly moved, suddenly ejected the upper half of its body, and pounced towards her.
"Ah--!!" Liu'er screamed, and her whole body fell backwards, sitting heavily on the ground.
Although she fell and was in some pain, it was a blessing in disguise that she avoided the snake's attack.
Su Qingluan felt a chill on the back of her neck the moment Liu'er screamed. Because she had been on alert all the time, she reacted quickly. Before the other three could react, she had already rushed over with a branch.
Su Qingluan didn't choose that piece of branch just by breaking it off randomly, but because there was an obvious fork in the front.
This shape of branch can expand the range of "sweeping" when "startling the snake", making it easier for her to "startle the snake", and it also has a more important function.
"Liu'er, move your feet away and stop stepping on the snake!" Su Qingluan shouted.
Upon hearing this, Liu'er subconsciously retracted her foot, but she had obviously stepped on the snake quite badly. It did not turn around and run away immediately after struggling to break free, but turned around and swam towards the four people here!
Tian Xing'er and Liu'er both subconsciously hid backwards, but the little girl Su Xueyan was a little scared. Tears welled up in her eyes and she stared blankly at the snake with green background and red spots getting closer and closer.
Su Qingluan originally wanted to step back, but seeing her sister standing there in fear, she quickly picked up a branch, rushed to her sister, aimed at the back of the snake's head, and stabbed it forward with force!
With a "puff" sound, the branch sank into the soil below, and the snake was also stuck to the ground, unable to move.
"It's stuck, let's go quickly," Su Qingluan stared closely at the snake's pattern, "This snake must be poisonous, let's not get close to it, stay away from it!"
Su Qingluan immediately recognized the special color combination as the tiger-necked snake, commonly known as "pheasant neck".
In fact, in modern times, snakes are a common ingredient for Su Qingluan. However, those snakes are mostly farmed and non-venomous. Her master was worried that she would not know how to deal with venomous snakes in the wild, so he even took her to the zoo to observe various common venomous snakes, including "pheasant neck."
Although pheasant neck is relatively common, its toxicity is not high, which makes Su Qingluan feel a little relieved. She turned around and helped Tian Xing'er to pull up Liu'er who had fallen to the ground and asked, "Are you okay? Were you bitten?"
