Geng Feng picked up the backpack and said with a smile, "These rabbits are quite heavy."
Beside the land they were clearing, there were two large trees with lush branches and leaves.
Geng Feng put the basket with the rabbits under the tree and went back to work. With the money to buy seeds, he worked even harder.
Qin Nian picked a lot of tender grass and stuffed it into the backpack through the gaps in the straw ropes.
Qin Nian glanced at Geng Feng and saw that he was working hard to turn the soil. She used her mind to fetch spiritual spring water and poured it on the grass in the basket.
Qin Nian picked up the water bag: "Geng Feng, I'll go get some more water."
Geng Feng nodded: "Go ahead."
When they shouted, their voices were quite low, for fear of "startling" the Shy Spring.
Qin Nian was so happy that he hummed a song: "When I have endured all the hardships, will there be happiness at the next stop?
When I have everything I want, all the suffering I've endured won't count—"
"ah--"
Qin Nian's scream suddenly changed tone, he fell to the ground, and let go of the water bag, throwing it far away.
"Xiao Nian."
Geng Feng threw away the fork in his hand and ran over.
"Xiao Nian, what's wrong?"
Qin Nian's face turned frighteningly pale, and he couldn't even finish his words: "There, there——"
Geng Feng looked in the direction Qin Nian's finger pointed and saw a giant snake, as thick as a bowl and more than two meters long, basking in the sun on a rock beside the spring.
The snake also saw them, and it stuck out its long tongue at them, as if warning Geng Feng and Qin Nian: Get out of here!
"You beast, you brought yourself to my door."
Geng Feng comforted Qin Nian: "Don't be afraid. Once I catch it, we will have enough money to buy seeds."
"Geng Feng."
Qin Nian hurriedly stopped him: "This snake is too big, it's better not to catch it. Once it bites you, it's no joke."
Geng Feng said: "This snake's head is not triangular, it's an ordinary snake, not a venomous snake, so even if it bites you, it's nothing.
Besides, I hunt all year round and have caught many snakes, so don't worry.
Go to the edge of the field and bring the backpack over here."
Yesterday, Qin Nian and Geng Feng each carried a basket. Now, one basket contained a rabbit, and the other seemed to contain the snake.
Geng Feng helped Qin Nian up: "You were scared enough just now, walk slowly."
Qin Nian nodded: "You should be careful too. If it's too hard, don't catch it. Sell the rabbit and you'll have enough money to buy seeds.
Even if it's not enough, we can think of other ways. Safety is more important than anything else."
"I know my limits and I won't act stubbornly, don't worry."
After hearing what Geng Feng said, Qin Nian calmed herself down, but her pace was still fast.
After reaching the edge of the field, Qin Nian picked up the backpack and walked a few steps, then turned around and went back to get a sickle.
If Geng Feng couldn't defeat the big snake, she would swing her knife and cut the snake in half.
In order to give himself courage, Qin Nian also chopped at the air, and it seemed that he was really braver.
She walked faster and came to the Mimetic Fountain again.
Geng Feng is fighting with the snake.
The snake was too big, and it would stick out its tongue and suddenly attack from time to time, trying to bite Geng Feng.
Geng Feng bent over and circled the snake cautiously, trying to pin it down.
Qin Nian was so scared that she gasped. She was afraid that Geng Feng would be distracted, so she didn't dare to call Geng Feng.
Geng Feng saw Qin Nian out of the corner of his eye, and also saw the sickle in her hand.
Geng Feng said: "Xiao Nian, stay away. I don't need the sickle. It will be worthless if it is broken.
I can catch him, don't worry."
Qin Nian disagreed with Geng Feng's point of view, but she did take a few steps back so as not to influence Geng Feng.
After the man and the snake fought for several rounds, Qin Nian didn't even see how Geng Feng operated, but his big hand pinched the snake's vital point.
The big snake was not willing to be outdone, and its two-meter-long body quickly wrapped around Geng Feng's arm.
It looks a bit like the rope on a windlass.
Qin Nian was so frightened that he almost fainted, but Geng Feng smiled brightly: "This beast is really big, it can be sold for a lot of money.
This time I have enough money to buy seeds.”
Geng Feng looked up: "Xiao Nian, bring the basket over here."
Qin Nian was so frightened that he trembled with fear. He walked over with a sickle in one hand and a backpack in the other.
Qin Nian stopped more than five meters away from Geng Feng, whose arm was wrapped with a snake, and said, "Geng Feng, put the basket here."
Geng Feng smiled: "Xiao Nian, look how scared you are. Go away and I will let go."
Qin Nian ran away.
After seeing her running away, Geng Feng pulled the snake's body off his arm and threw it into the backpack.
These two backpacks were woven by Geng Zhenhai using bamboo strips. The bottom and walls of the backpacks were very solid, so snakes could not get out.
But the backpack doesn’t have a lid, so that won’t work.
Geng Feng thought about it, took off his clothes, covered the backpack with the clothes, and tied his sleeves to make it secure.
Geng Feng came over with the backpack, he was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Nian, I really have nothing to cover the backpack, so I took off my clothes, please don't mind."
Qin Nian's eyes fell on Geng Feng's strong chest muscles, "I don't mind."
She thought of the beach in her previous life, where the men not only didn't wear shirts, but also didn't wear pants.
No one cared about a pair of shorts as a symbol of masculinity. Besides, Geng Feng in front of him was just shirtless.
"Xiao Nian, this big snake keeps moving in the basket. If it runs away, all our efforts will be in vain.
Let’s not work today. Let’s go home and sell the snakes and rabbits in the county town.”
"OK."
Qin Nian agreed with Geng Feng's proposal. She picked up the basket containing the rabbit and said, "I'll take this."
Geng Feng smiled and teased Qin Nian: "You should take the one that holds the big snake, and carry it on your back when you go down the mountain."
Qin Nian knew Geng Feng was teasing her, but she still shook her head like a rattle: "I don't think I'll ever dare to carry a basket containing snakes in my life."
Because there were extra things in the basket, Qin Nian didn't dare to touch the basket containing the snake, so Geng Feng had to send the basket containing the snake down first.
He came up again, picked up the basket containing the rabbits, and took Qin Nian down.
The two men walked to the foot of the mountain, pulled out the cart, put the backpack on it, and took the baby home.
When Granny Li heard that Geng Feng had caught a big snake, she grinned and said:
"I'm best at catching snakes. If I were here today, I guarantee I would catch them more skillfully than Geng Feng."
Qin Nian shook her head: "Grandma, I believe everything else you say, but I don't believe you dare to catch snakes."
Mrs. Li curled her lips and said, "Xiao Nian, go and bring the backpack over and put it on the kang.
I caught the snake and hung it around my neck, so you can see if I am afraid of the snake or the snake is afraid of me."
Qin Nian's eyes widened: "Grandma, please forgive me. I don't dare to carry that thing."
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Geng Feng came over. He changed into a black shirt, which made him look taller and more handsome. "Xiao Nian, let's go to the county town."
Qin Nian was a little resistant: "Geng Feng, I'm afraid of that snake, you go by yourself."
Geng Feng smiled and advised gently: "Xiao Nian, put the backpack on the cart, the snake will not be able to get out.
After we sell the snakes and rabbits, we will sell the seeds and buy some food."
Mrs. Li also advised: "Xiao Nian, you and Geng Feng go. Let him go into the house to ask people if they want to buy it, and you stay outside to watch the car.
It's a famine year, and people are bad. No one is watching the car, what if someone pushes it away? "
