Chapter 12 Snake

Zhou Chenglei was weeding with a hoe and had already weeded a large area. When he heard the scream, he immediately threw away the hoe and rushed in.

As soon as he ran into the living room, Jiang Xia rushed up and jumped directly on him, holding him tightly with his hands and feet, hanging on him, shaking all over.

Zhou Chenglei was slightly startled. He couldn't touch her with his hands, so he just let her hang on him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Snakes! There are snakes! They're so big, and there are two of them! They're staring at me!" Jiang Xia was so scared that he was shaking all over, and his voice was trembling.

Jiang Xia is actually quite courageous. When she used to work, she often returned home in the middle of the night. If she met a pervert at the subway station exit, she would dare to beat him up.

She is not afraid of people, ghosts, wild dogs, rats, or cockroaches, but she is afraid of snakes!

She is most afraid of snakes! She is afraid of them even when she sees them on TV.

She was almost scared to death when they met just now in such an unprepared way!

She hugged Zhou Chenglei's neck tightly and wrapped her legs around his waist, "Get out! Get out! Quickly! Quickly! Quickly!..."

Zhou Chenglei's neck was almost broken by her strangulation.

He could only hold her and walk out of the yard, coaxing her gently: "Don't be afraid, it's just a snake, I'll catch it, you let me go first."

After leaving the house, Jiang Xia was no longer so scared. She calmed herself down and loosened her legs. But when she looked down and saw the grass on the ground, she shrank back again and wrapped her legs tightly around his legs, refusing to get off the ground no matter what. "Is there a snake in this yard?"

Zhou Chenglei: “.”

He really couldn't guarantee that.

It is normal to have snakes in the hot summer.

Maybe Jiang Xia's scream just now was too loud, which alarmed the neighbors next door and attracted the two families next door over. Then they saw the two of them hugging each other. The posture was really eye-catching!

The way they looked at Jiang Xia changed. Although they were husband and wife, they were doing this in the yard and screaming so loudly. They were simply shameless! Zhou Junjie joked, "Cheng Lei, you are so impatient in broad daylight that you can't even wait to get into the room?"

As he said this, his eyes fell on Jiang Xia's butt.

No matter how thick-skinned Jiang Xia was, his face turned red. He let go of Zhou Chenglei and got down to the ground. He was still afraid and looked around at the ground.

Zhou Chenglei's face darkened. He stood in front of Jiang Xia and blocked Zhou Junjie's gaze. "Don't talk nonsense!"

A woman in her 40s or 50s saw that Jiang Xia looked unhappy and knew that everyone had misunderstood him. She wanted to help the couple and said, "Alei, what happened to your wife? Is she scared?"

Zhou Chenglei took over the grandmother's words and explained to everyone: "There was a snake in the house just now, and Jiang Xia was scared. Jiang Xia, this is grandma."

Jiang Xia looked over and was surprised that the other person was such a young grandmother, but he was grateful that the other person was willing to help him out, so he smiled and called out, "Grandma."

Grandma smiled and said, "Good boy!"

Zhou Chenglei said again: "You stay here with grandma and talk. I'll go catch the snake."

When the grandmother heard about catching snakes, her eyes lit up: "Catch snakes? Where? I'll catch them! What's there to be afraid of snakes!"

The great-grandmother rushed into the house, her excitement as if she had heard some treasure in the house.

Jiang Xia: “.”

Zhou Chenglei explained: "My great grandmother is very good at catching snakes. She taught me how to catch snakes. I'll go in and take a look."

Jiang Xia only has two words to say: admiration!

Grandma suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is the snake?"

Jiang Xia pointed inside the house: "Facing the main door, on the beam of the innermost room on the right. Never mind, I'll go in with you guys."

Jiang Xia was not so scared when there were so many people around. It was because several villagers were looking at her like a monster.

Zhou Chenglei followed her, knowing that she was embarrassed to face the villagers, and that with her grandmother, an expert at catching snakes, around, nothing would go wrong.

The three of them entered the house. Jiang Xia pointed to the room, but she didn't dare to go in, so she just stood in the living room.

Unexpectedly, other people also followed in to watch the fun.

Zhou Junjie was not afraid of snakes, and wanted to see if the snake was valuable, so he also entered the room.

The three women did not go in.

Pan Daidi came to Jiang Xia and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "Niece-in-law, why are you cleaning this old house?"

Jiang Xia glanced at her, didn't know her, had no impression of her, and she replied, "Move over here."

The three women were from the next door room, and they happened to be the three mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. When Pan Daidi's eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she also asked, "Moving here? Did you split up? Are you and Zhou Chenglei moving here together?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xia nodded and responded lightly. He was not used to talking too much.

Did they really split up the family? Pan Daidi's eldest daughter-in-law was a little envious.

Pan Daidi asked again: "This house is old and dilapidated. Why are you willing to move in? Your family's new house is all used for farming and picking flowers?"

Jiang Xia: "This house will be quite comfortable after cleaning it up."

At least in her previous life, she had never lived in a house like this.

Pan Daidi's daughter-in-law glanced at Jiang Xia with obvious disbelief in her eyes. She didn't even care about the new house before and was asking for a divorce. How could she feel comfortable in this house? She was probably waiting for her lover to come and pick her up, so she didn't care. She wouldn't be living there for long anyway.

Looking at her delicate and tender appearance, you can tell that she is a restless person. It is obvious that she cannot survive in the village and will leave sooner or later.

"Who proposed the separation? You or your sister-in-law? Who will support your parents-in-law and who will they live with?" Pan Daidi asked again.

"Aunt, let me go in and take a look." Jiang Xia was not used to saying these things, so he walked into the room.

But she didn't know that when dealing with such women in the village, she had to talk more about these things, including gossip about other people's affairs, and talk about everything, and her views had to be consistent with theirs. If she didn't say anything, others would think she was hypocritical and unsociable.

Seeing that she ignored her, Pan Daidi rolled her eyes at Jiang Xia's back, "Pah, city people are so great, they ignored me when I asked them a few questions, their eyes are on their foreheads!" Jiang Xia stood in the doorway and saw that the two snakes were still on the beam. Zhou Chenglei picked up the long broom that Jiang Xia had thrown on the ground and used it to lure the snakes down.

One of the snakes wrapped itself around the bamboo pole and started to crawl down.

The other snake was so scared that it crawled away on the beam.

Grandma: "Alei, give it to me, I'll do it!"

Zhou Chenglei put down the bamboo pole.

The grandmother walked forward and went around to the snake's tail. She seized the opportunity and made a swift move, grabbing the snake's vital point.

The snake's tail immediately wrapped around her arm.

Jiang Xia was horrified by what he saw.

There was another beam on it. Zhou Chenglei threw away the long broom, jumped up lightly, and climbed onto the beam with both hands. He exerted force with his arms, lifted his whole body upwards, and then with his long legs, he climbed onto the beam.

Then he approached the snake cautiously.

Jiang Xia didn't dare to look at the snake, he only looked at him, and then he was attracted by his nimble figure.

She looked at Zhou Chenglei's arms exposed from under the rolled-up sleeves of his shirt, his muscles flowing smoothly and veins slightly visible; his long legs wrapped in green military pants looked strong and powerful.

"Go, go, go...go over there!" The great grandmother held a snake in one hand and picked up a long broom in the other hand to drive away the snake.

Jiang Xia came back to her senses and saw the snake crawling to the other end. Her heart skipped a beat and she didn't dare to look. She subconsciously looked away and found that the three women were all staring at Zhou Chenglei, and their eyes were almost drooling. She couldn't help but find it funny.

A man like Zhou Chenglei, who is handsome, strong, and exudes an aura of vigor and abstinence, would definitely be a killer of women aged between eighty and eighteen in modern times.

Zhou Junjie came to Jiang Xia unknowingly: "Is your sister-in-law afraid of snakes?"

Jiang Xia gave him a cold look and walked away.

Zhou Junjie smiled.

On the beam, Zhou Chenglei quickly found an opportunity to grab the snake's vital point, then jumped down and landed steadily.

Zhou Chenglei and his grandmother walked towards the door holding the snake. Jiang Xia, who was standing at the door, was so scared when he saw the snake spitting out its tongue that he turned around and ran away.

The great grandmother laughed when she saw it: "Haha, what are you afraid of? This is a grass snake, not poisonous, and can be found everywhere. You'll see more of them in the future, and you won't be afraid of them when you get used to them."

Jiang Xia: “.”
