Chapter 88: Unexpected Gains
Tu Ran didn't rush to get up. Instead, he pointed to the snow pile next to him and said in a low voice, "Look."
Xie Nancheng turned his head to look over, and was shocked after seeing it clearly.
The little snake that looked extremely cute just now has changed color.
Not only was it no longer colorful, but its entire body was black and gold.
And at this moment, the little thing opened its mouth wide, showing its fangs, and looked extremely ferocious.
Although it is not big in size, the consequences of being bitten by it are disastrous.
"It actually changes color?" Xie Nancheng was shocked.
"These are not the main points. The main point is that he is extremely poisonous."
"If I had bitten you, our old house would have been full of feasts by now."
Xie Nancheng: ...
"How much do you hate me? Do you wish I were dead?" The boss frowned.
"Do you have a conscience? How can a human say that? I hate you? If I hated you, I shouldn't have rushed back to save you. I should have let you be bitten by the poisonous snake." Tu Ran glared angrily.
"Can you get off me now?"
"I'm afraid if you continue like this, I won't be able to control myself and want to do something to you."
"After all, I am a normal man."
The boss cleverly changed the subject and deliberately spoke in such an ambiguous way just to make Tu Ran blush.
As expected, Tu Ran's face immediately turned red.
Then he quickly climbed up from Xie Nancheng and adjusted his collar awkwardly.
"This thing is so strange, I have never seen it before."
Xie Nancheng was still interested in the little snake that could change color just now.
"This thing is very powerful and can bewitch people." Tu Ran chuckled.
"To deceive people, is that all?" The boss obviously didn't believe it.
"The scientific name is the Five-Colored Brocade, an extremely rare and venomous snake. It is skilled in camouflage and can change color. During this period, it emits a subtle light wave that is invisible to the naked eye, but it has a hallucinogenic effect. It lowers the prey's defenses and takes advantage of their unpreparedness to bite them directly into the meridians."
"The Phoenix Ridge generation is said to have had it decades ago."
"My grandfather said at the time that they called it a soul-catching insect. Because it was so small, everyone initially thought it was a bug, but later they discovered it was actually a snake."
"You guys in Phoenix Ridge really have all kinds of weird things."
"What do you mean?" Tu Ran frowned and stared at Xie Nancheng.
"No, nothing. I was just complimenting you. I think there seem to be a lot of good things in the valley where you came from, and they are all rarely seen outside. To be honest, I have never heard of or seen this snake before."
"What's so strange about this? The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things." After Tu Ran said this, he squatted down to observe the white snow around the little snake.
Seeing that there was no hope of hunting, the little snake dodged and disappeared.
"It's all gone, what are you still researching?"
"Let's go back. It's a bit cold here." Xie Nancheng might have just been frightened, so he was not in the mood to look at the snowy scenery and suggested going back.
"You go back first, I have something else to do."
"What's the matter?" Xie Nancheng didn't move.
"Grandpa said that where the Five-Colored Brocade appears, there must be rare herbs. I'll try my luck."
"Is your grandfather talking nonsense?" Xie Nancheng said this and immediately got a roll of the eyes.
"I'm kidding."
In fact, he felt a little regretful after he said that. After all, he knew how much the deceased old man meant to Tu Ran.
Tu Ran didn't say anything, and searched around according to the snake's traces on the snow.
In order to ease the awkward relationship, Xie Nancheng took the initiative to find a piece of dry branch and handed it to her.
"Here, use this one for your convenience."
Tu Ran turned around, looked at Xie Nancheng, then looked at the dead branch, hesitated for a moment and took it.
The mountain path in the snow is extremely quiet.
Tu Ran was exploring in front with a dry branch, and Xie Nancheng followed behind him.
Neither of them said a word, and the only sound in the mountain was the sound of two people stepping on the snow.
When he came to his senses, Xie Nancheng realized that he hadn't been so focused on doing something for a long time.
Such patience and such enjoyment in doing something.
At this moment, Tu Ran suddenly said in surprise, "Found it."
Xie Nancheng was curious and leaned over to look from behind her.
Sure enough, a white medicinal herb was found under the roots of a dead old tree.
The herb was still blooming white flowers, which shocked Xie Nancheng.
You have to know that Yuncheng has already entered December, and it snows almost every other day.
The temperature at night can drop to minus twenty degrees Celsius. In such weather, very few wild flowers can survive.
This white herb looks very inconspicuous.
If you don't look carefully, you really won't notice it.
The flowers are rather peculiar, having the shape of a hexagram of a snowflake.
Tu Ran carefully took off the scarf from her neck and carefully dug out the small white flower.
Holding it in her palm, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement and surprise.
"What makes you so happy?"
"nice one."
"Isn't that nonsense? What are you asking me?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Tu Ran retorted.
"How would I know if you don't tell me?" The boss started to talk nonsense today.
"Concubine Xue, do you know?"
"have no idea."
"Look, I've told you, but you don't know. You're still not convinced. Move away and don't break it." Tu Ran hugged the white herb like a treasure, and looked at Xie Nancheng beside him with disgust.
But the boss didn't care. After all, the trip to the back mountain was not in vain, and he didn't almost get bitten by a snake in vain.
At least he made a discovery, although he didn't know what it was used for.
Even when he was walking behind Tu Ran, he secretly used his mobile phone to check Baidu.
Not only did he check on Concubine Xue, he also checked on that five-colored brocade.
But unfortunately, nothing was found, and there is no record of it on the Internet.
But looking at Tu Ran's surprised expression, it didn't seem like he could be deceived.
After the two of them went down the mountain, they had no intention of continuing to play with Feng Yao and the others.
He drove back to the Xie family. After Tu Ran returned, he couldn't wait to transplant the Snow Concubine to the greenhouse in the back garden.
Xie Nancheng was called into the study by the old lady.
"grandmother."
"Please sit down." The old lady waved her hand, signaling her grandson to sit down.
"Are you and Ranran together today?"
"Um."
"She didn't even finish her breakfast this morning and left in a hurry."
"Yes, I know. She came to find me." Xie Nancheng answered truthfully.
"What do you think of this child, Ranran?"
"Grandma, why are you asking?"
"Answer me first, Nancheng. You're smart enough to see through a person. Ranran has been married for a while now. What do you think of her?"
"He's quite annoying, has an unpleasant personality, and doesn't talk much."
"He doesn't like to talk to people, he's full of problems, and he likes to argue with me."
"No manners, no culture, and no friends."
"It can't help me in my career, and it doesn't provide me with much emotional value in my relationship."
Xie Nancheng directly pointed out a bunch of problems. Of course, these were just his momentary anger and one-sided words.
"Since it's so bad, then how about getting a divorce and then having grandma help you find someone else?"
"Ah?" Xie Nancheng was confused. What did the old lady mean?
