Chapter 63: Third Brother Picks Up a Shotgun
I was so scared, I thought something happened to Big Bear and the others, but luckily it was just some dead snakes. But why are there so many dead snakes here, and they all died in such a tragic way?
Nuanbao was puzzled and his little brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't be impatient. This tastes not like wild animal blood, but more like snake blood."
As the saying goes, old ginger is always spicy. When Old Man Qin sniffed carefully, he immediately recognized the difference from the smell of blood.
Old Man Qin took out the snake repellent powder he had prepared and sprinkled some on the people. Then he took a wooden stick and stood in front of everyone. Qin Zheng subconsciously wanted to pull his grandfather back behind him, but Old Man Qin dodged him.
"I'm not too old to be unable to move. This little scene won't scare me. Everyone, please be careful around you and beware of snake attacks."
Old Master Qin knew very well that his grandson was heartbroken because he had witnessed his wife's accident, so he firmly rejected his grandson's kindness.
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment. After realizing his grandfather's intention, he secretly clenched his fists.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Noticing that Qin Zheng was in a bad mood, Nuanbao pulled his sleeve worriedly.
Qin Zheng lowered his head, met Nuanbao's eyes filled with worry, and forced a stiff smile.
"Brother, it's okay. There might be something scary ahead. Can you close your eyes, Nuanbao?"
Qin Zheng was worried that Nuanbao would see something scary and it would leave a psychological trauma in the future, so he coaxed her patiently.
Nuanbao had already used his mental power to see all the things in front of him, and now he was really not interested in the scene in front of him, so he simply followed Qin Zheng's wishes and closed his eyes.
"Nuanbao, close your eyes and get some sleep. Brother, you have to help Nuanbao keep an eye on her to see if she has gained any weight!"
Qin Zheng and Nuan Bao have known each other for a while, and he can basically guess that the meat in Nuan Bao's words refers to game. After listening to Nuan Bao's words, he nodded seriously.
Given the mutant pheasants' reproduction rate, there should be quite a few pheasant chicks in the mountains. It wouldn't hurt for the adult chickens to catch a few and eat them. In a few months, these chicks would have grown several pounds. In that time, even if the harvest wasn't plentiful, the villagers could still catch a few pheasants to satisfy their hunger if they went up the mountain.
The mutant beasts in Nuanbao's space weren't enough to keep his family fed during these years of famine. However, when everyone was struggling to find food, the aroma of meat wafting daily from their home was the only thing telling everyone that something was fishy. To avoid attracting attention, Nuanbao and his father had to put in a lot of effort.
The group moved forward carefully and soon arrived at the place where Liu Sanni had sprinkled the medicine.
Old Master Qin was the first to see the blood all over the ground. Even though he had seen a lot of the world, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the dead snakes all over the ground.
"Zheng Zheng, stay here with Nuan Bao and the others for a while. I'll go see if these snakes are still useful."
Qin Zheng wanted to stop his grandfather, but seeing the corpses of those rare poisonous snakes in front of him, the old man ran faster than a rabbit and didn't give Qin Zheng a chance to speak.
"Oh my, this is unbelievable, this is unbelievable! This snake is extremely poisonous. I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've seen one! Hmm, this snake is not bad either. It's perfect for making medicinal wine for Old Hu! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how did this rat snake get into the group of these venomous snakes? Isn't this just offering food to the venomous snakes?"
Old Master Qin was immersed in the joy of harvesting free snakes and couldn't extricate himself.
Qin Zheng and his companions stood with their backs to Old Man Qin, bored. The third brother was restless and secretly turned around while no one was paying attention.
Seeing that there were quite a few wild strawberries nearby, his eyes lit up immediately.
Looking at his sister who was sleeping obediently in Qin Zheng's arms, the third brother pouted in dissatisfaction.
Humph, what's so great about that? Just wait, he will pick lots and lots of wild strawberries for his sister, and see who his sister likes better.
