After hearing what I said, Xiao Ding looked at me and looked hesitantly at the bowl of snake soup in his hand, with a conflicted look on his face, not knowing whether to eat it or not.
When I saw his expression, I knew that he was affected by the story and was afraid to eat.
After all, Xiao Ding is not Jack. It's okay for Jack to go hungry for a meal or two, but if Xiao Ding goes hungry for a meal or two, he may not have the strength to move today.
I looked at Xiao Ding and said, "Don't listen to Jack's story. It's not necessarily true. Even if it is true, it doesn't match our story. Our snake demon has been killed and tested to be non-venomous, so don't worry."
Even if what he said is true, I am not worried about the snake demon coming back. After all, I have already dug out his golden elixir.
However, this matter cannot be said for the time being, so I can only persuade Xiao Ding from another perspective.
"Xiao Ding, you can't go without food. After all, you are not Jack. You are still so young, how can you endure being hungry for so long? After all, we have to walk for a whole day."
I have also experienced the feeling of being so hungry that my stomach aches, but that was in the past. Now I exercise so much and if I don’t eat, I’m afraid even my iron can’t stand it, so I tried so hard to make Xiao Ding eat snake meat.
But Xiao Ding had completely believed the existence of this story, and immediately shook his head as violently as a rattle.
Seeing how persistent Xiao Ding was, I finally felt a little regretful for letting him finish listening to this story.
Xiao Ding continued, "No, no, what if the snake demon comes looking for us?"
I couldn't help but want to laugh when I heard Xiao Ding's question, but I couldn't help but say seriously, "These are all impossible. Even if I had come in the morning, I wouldn't have come to find Xiao Ding. After all, I was the one who beat him to death! So you can eat without worry!"
When Xiao Ding heard that I was the one who killed him, he immediately became a little worried and said, "So you were the one who killed my brother. That's terrible! I wonder if you will become the target of the snake!"
Xiao Ding didn't know that I had beaten him to death, and he had no idea that the snake's head had been chopped into pulp just like in the story. Of course, I wasn't going to tell Xiao Ding about the extra life.
Just because I don’t say it doesn’t mean others won’t say it.
Jack added coldly, "He's no good. He killed a snake and then chopped its head into a pulp, just like in the story."
I could hear Jack chopping me into a pulp, and when I told him about it, the only thing that flashed through my mind was, "Oh no! Xiao Ding will definitely be worried."
Otherwise, when Xiao Ding heard this, he jumped up and almost spilled the snake soup in his hand.
"Oh my God, you actually chopped his head into paste. Now that snake is going to possess you, brother?" Xiao Ding went from being scared to being surprised. The whole process took no more than ten seconds.
When I saw Xiao Ding's expression, I glared at Jack fiercely. After all, it was he who brought me trouble.
"No, no, I won't eat it! Maybe it has no effect today, but there will be problems tomorrow! I still don't want to eat it, Fatty Brother, or you can vomit it out!" Xiao Ding not only refused to do this, but also wanted to instigate the fat man to join in, and even thought of vomiting.
I suddenly didn't know what to say, and Jack and the fat man laughed unkindly.
Suddenly, Xiao Ding's expression became serious and he looked at this with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. I was not used to seeing Xiao Ding like this.
I was not used to it, so I shook my body and looked around, but found that there was nothing worth seeing. I didn’t know whether Xiao Ding was looking at me or something else.
"What's wrong with Xiao Ding? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked Xiao Ding curiously.
Xiao Ding was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you possessed by a snake demon? Otherwise, why would you keep urging us to eat this snake soup?"
I was suddenly speechless.
How come the three of us all thought of the same thing at the same time, that the other party was possessed by a snake? Sure enough, the word "snake demon" includes the possibility of being possessed by another body. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch my forehead, feeling helpless.
"Do I look like that to you? Have you ever seen someone sometimes encourage others to eat their own body? Besides, if a snake's body has successfully cultivated, then all of its parts are treasures to us. It's even more impossible for us to eat it so easily. What's more, eating it might even improve our own abilities!"
I'm talking nonsense seriously. Actually, I don't know if it can improve my abilities. These are all things I read in novels before and learned from them. But it's enough to coax Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding didn't listen to my explanation at all and just kept looking at me.
Our little Fatty suddenly felt strange after reminding Xiao Ding of this. "I'm encouraging them to eat meat tonight. Am I trying to poison them?" This was their current thought, and everyone's gaze on me changed.
For a moment, I felt that I was extremely wronged. Apart from taking the golden elixir to cover up the traces of the snake meat being cut, everything else he said was true. After all, this snake meat can supplement our food shortage.
Before I could finish, the fat man had already run to the woods nearby and put his fingers into his throat, trying to dig it out.
The veins on my head were bulging as I watched, and I couldn't help but walk over and kick the fat guy, kicking him into the haystack.
"I made this, Fatty, and you dare to look down on me!"
The fat man immediately got up and looked at me with an embarrassed face, because from the force I just exerted, the fat man had already understood that I was still the same person. Now I only had Xiao Ding left, and I needed to think about how to persuade him.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Jack. If he hadn't told that story and the incident of me being chopped into meat paste, Xiao Ding wouldn't have been so determined not to eat snake meat. After all, ignorance is not a crime.
"Believe me, your fat brother can prove that I am not possessed. He asked me about it last night, so there is no possession issue.
"Really?" In fact, I had already explained everything, but Xiao Ding still had some feelings that made me want to believe him.
"It's true. The reason we let you eat snake meat is because snakes strengthen the body and instantly relieve fatigue. Besides, we haven't eaten meat here for a long time, except for the meat of those wolves yesterday."
After thinking for a moment, I added, "If you don't eat breakfast, you won't be able to walk and will slow us down. You just saw the silver needles tested, and they are indeed non-toxic. If you don't believe me, I can drink another bowl and show you."
