Chapter 98
'Snake! Snake! Snake!'
"Oh my god, a coral snake! Very poisonous!"
"Hasn't the production team checked this place before? How could such a snake exist?!"
"Oh my god, I'm so worried. The snake was too close to the cubs, and the staff didn't dare to come up to rescue them!"
"Buddha bless you! Buddha bless you! The cubs won't be bitten by snakes!"
"I'm most afraid of snakes. Seeing them gives me goosebumps all over my body!"
Seeing the barrage of comments scrolling rapidly across the screen, Jun Che split the screen to check what the Bungarus serpentiformis was.
After discovering that it was a poisonous snake that could kill people, his brows were immediately tightly knitted together, and he immediately focused his eyes on the live broadcast, closely watching Jiaojiao's movements.
Outside the livestream, Director Cao's mind went blank as he saw the attacking coral reef snake right next to his son. He opened his mouth to speak, only to realize he was behind a screen several cities away. Suddenly, a feeling of powerlessness and utter panic mingled within him, robbing him of all reason and ability to think.
The rapidly surging blood caused his ears to buzz and tinnitus to appear. A series of chaotic and meaningless noises flooded into his mind. In a panic, he wanted to stand up, but his legs and feet were weak and he fell to the ground. His arms that were supporting the ground were trembling slightly.
The fall brought back some of his sanity. He struggled to get up from the ground and hurriedly took out his cell phone to call the hospital in Beijing.
Not long after the phone call was hung up, an ambulance drove out of the People's Hospital and sped towards its destination.
Fortunately, every time the director goes to a place, he will send the specific address to the parents' mobile phones.
After doing this, Director Cao finally calmed down a little. Nowadays, there is antidote serum for snake venom. As long as the ambulance arrives quickly enough, there can usually be lifesaving measures.
Although no one has been bitten by a snake so far, it is always good to be prepared in advance.
Director Cao, who was forcing himself to comfort himself, stared at the live broadcast with red eyes, praying in his heart that nothing would happen, nothing would happen!
At this moment in the live broadcast, Cao Yuhao, who was squatting behind Shi Huairou's left and fiddling with a small crab with a piece of grass, looked up in confusion. Why didn't Aunt Chen Yingke let Shi Huairou move?
Lou Yaoyao was also confused, but her doubts were more direct. She clapped her hands, stood up, walked to Shi Huairou and said, "Sister Huairou, why doesn't Aunt Shen allow you to move?"
"Yaoyao, don't move!" Chen Yingke, who was frightened by Lou Yaoyao's standing up, quickly raised his voice.
"Why can't I..."
Before Lou Yaoyao could finish her questioning words, Cao Yuhao beside her exclaimed, "There's a snake!"
"Ah!" Lou Yaoyao screamed in fright when she heard the snake. She turned around and hugged Shi Huairou beside her, closing her eyes tightly and not daring to open them.
When Shi Huairou heard it was a snake, her defenses were immediately broken, her eyes turned red, and her calves were shaking with fear.
Maybe it was because he was young and ignorant, but Cao Yuhao was a little scared when he saw the snake, but not as scared as Shi Huairou and the others who were shaking and unable to move.
"Hahaha, you two are so timid! Girls are just timid, as expected." After mocking Shi Huairou and Lou Yaoyao a few times, Cao Yuhao looked around, squatted down, and laboriously picked up a large stone. He said proudly, "Watch me smash it to death!"
The staff around were all frightened when they saw Cao Yuhao's actions. To be honest, if the snake was not in an attacking state with its upper body slightly raised, they would have gone up and quickly carried the three children away.
It was precisely because the snake was in an attacking state that they all froze in place and dared not move, for fear that a noise would irritate the snake and cause it to attack the children.
But unexpectedly, they were deadlocked and dared not move, and Cao Yuhao over there even raised the stone.
"Yuhao, Cao Yuhao, put down the stone and don't move, the snake will bite people!" The director, who was scared and sweating, quickly raised the loudspeaker and shouted.
Since snakes cannot sense sound waves in the air, the director was not worried that his shouting would irritate the snake, so he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Put down the stone and stop throwing it!"
"Did you hear that, Cao Yuhao?" The director's tone grew more serious, even adding a warning tone: "Put down that stone quickly and stand still."
However, it would be strange if Cao Yuhao obeyed. Thinking that he could definitely kill the snake, he raised the stone high and smashed it in front of everyone.
The stone missed the target and did not hit the snake. Instead, it startled the snake which was already in an attacking state. Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the snake jumped towards Cao Yuhao's face.
Director Cao, who was watching the live broadcast from outside the venue, felt dizzy and almost fell backwards.
It must be said that the reaction of a dancer is quick. Lou Yaoyao, who was holding Shi Huairou, quietly turned her head to watch Cao Yuhao hitting the snake. The moment she saw the snake move, she almost subconsciously reached out and pulled Cao Yuhao.
Cao Yuhao, who staggered after being pulled by Lou Yaoyao, avoided the attacking snake.
Frightened by this, Cao Yuhao stood there in a daze. The silver ring snake, which failed to attack, raised its upper body again to show its aggressiveness.
Because of that just now, the coral snake was even closer to the three children, and the distance between them was less than one meter. This made the staff and netizens, who had originally felt a little relieved, feel nervous again.
The situation was such that they couldn't wait for the fire department to arrive, but the staff and director were afraid of disturbing the snake and causing the child to get bitten.
At the moment, the family backgrounds of these three children are not something they can afford to offend, not to mention that if they were the ones who startled the snake and caused the children to be bitten, the online abuse would drown them.
Apart from these, the biggest reason is that this snake is a highly poisonous snake. People all cherish their lives. When facing such a poisonous snake, it is human instinct to be afraid and retreat when one cannot guarantee one's own absolute safety.
Frightened, Cao Yuhao lost his previous courage, and the three children hugged each other in fear.
After hearing the news, more and more netizens rushed into the live broadcast room, and in a short period of time, the popularity of the live broadcast room reached the third place in the hot search.
While the netizens and staff in the live broadcast room were focusing on Lou Yaoyao and the snake, almost no one noticed a small figure carrying a light blue bamboo basket staggering over.
Jun Che, who had been staring at Jiaojiao's personal live broadcast room the entire time, suddenly had his brows twisted into a knot. He couldn't figure out why Jiaojiao walked over, so he looked up at his grandfather anxiously.
Grandpa Jun, with his brows also furrowed, touched his head soothingly. Now, those of them were separated by a screen, so no matter how anxious they were, they were powerless to do anything.
"Mom." On the rocky beach, Lou Yaoyao, with tears in her eyes, hugged Shi Huairou tightly and called out to her mother in fear.
The cute little girl wearing a floral dress and two pigtails was so scared that she called for her mother. The baby fat on her face trembled. The mothers in the live broadcast room felt so distressed that they wished they could reach through the screen and catch the snake with their bare hands.
The distressed mothers in the live broadcast room were unable to catch the snake with their bare hands. Jiaojiao, who was staggering over with a light blue bamboo basket on her back, bent down, stretched out her tender white hands, and grabbed the snake's tail.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment!
On the screen of the live broadcast room, the dense barrage of comments that had been urging the staff to save the cub and constantly posting various ideas on the screen went blank!
Little Jun Che bit his lips so hard that the skin broke, and Old Master Jun was also shocked!
Li Yubai's heart almost stopped when he saw this scene on the Evil Dragon Stage. The blood in his body seemed to flow backwards, causing the blue veins in his neck to bulge instantly.
The expression on his face twisted for a moment, and he dismantled the transparent square column with an almost ferocious and violent attitude, jumped off the Dragon Platform, and swam quickly towards the rocky beach.
On the rocky beach, Jiaojiao, who had grabbed the snake's tail, looked up at Lou Yaoyao and the other two: "Sister Huairou, Sister Yaoyao, Brother Yuhao, don't be afraid. Jiaojiao will catch the snake right away."
As soon as she saw her brothers and sisters being frightened by snakes, Jiaojiao hurried over here with a small bamboo basket on her back, hoping to drive away the bad snakes that scared her brothers and sisters.
Because of this sentence, the netizens and the staff on the scene who came to their senses were trembling with fear. The director's loudspeaker fell directly to the ground. The only two words in his mind at this time were: it's over.
The new netizens who poured into the live broadcast room were swiping the screen at a rapid speed.
"What a naughty kid! Where did this naughty kid come from? How dare you catch anything!"
"How can a two-year-old be on a variety show without an adult watching?!"
'It's over, it's over, this kid is finished!'
"What's this staff member doing? Why isn't he keeping an eye on the child in this situation?!"
While trembling with fear, many people were also feeling relieved. At least if the snake had bitten this child, it probably wouldn't bite other children, right?!
"Brother Jiaojiao, let it go quickly. This snake will bite!" Shi Huairou, who had opened her eyes in fear after hearing the voice, hurriedly said after seeing this scene.
Jiaojiao was very sure that snakes would not bite her. Although she didn't know where this certainty came from, she just inexplicably believed it.
"Sister Huairou, don't be afraid, it won't bite Jiaojiao!" Jiaojiao pretended to comfort Shi Huairou, whose voice was shaking with fear.
Upon hearing this, many netizens in the live broadcast room frowned.
'Who do you think you are? The snake won't bite you!'
'My idiocy strikes again, even though the target is a little over two years old!'
"You're not just a phobic person, you're probably also a bear-phobia person!"
However, before they could make more complaints, they saw Jiaojiao grab the snake's tail with both hands and drag it back hard.
Suddenly, netizens and on-site staff gasped and their lips trembled.
Good job!
What a great guy!
It was fine if he just grabbed the snake's tail, but why is he dragging it up now?!
Do you really think snakes won’t bite you?
There's no such thing as seeking death!
Everyone watching this scene even felt suffocated for a moment.
In any case, except for a few extreme people who want the snake to teach the child a lesson, most people still don't want to see children being bitten by snakes.
"Why are the staff just standing there? Hurry up and help!"
"Adults have stronger resistance than children, so even if they get bitten, there's a good chance they'll survive!"
"Why don't you go if you are such a saint?"
"It's easy to talk without any pain in your waist, but it's a poisonous snake!"
Amidst the dense barrage of comments in the live broadcast room, Jiaojiao grabbed the snake's tail with both hands and dragged it away with a whooshing sound.
The netizens and staff on the scene who were watching this scene with trepidation realized that although the snake was still in an attacking state, it really showed no signs of turning around and biting the child.
This scene was so magical and weird that the comments on the screen stopped for a moment. Some netizens even thought they were hallucinating for a moment and subconsciously wiped the screen with their hands.
The staff on the scene looked even more confused.
Who can use science to explain what is happening before our eyes?
This meter-long snake was quite heavy. Tired of dragging it, Jiaojiao squatted down and took a deep breath. During this time, she stretched out her white and tender little finger to poke the snake's belly, muttering to herself, "It's too heavy, Jiaojiao, I can't drag it anymore."
After resting for a while, Jiaojiao stood up with her butt sticking out, ready to continue dragging the snake, but the snake crawled away into the mountains by itself.
Jiaojiao blinked as she watched Sheshe leave on her own, then turned around and ran back to Shi Huairou and the others with her short legs. She raised her head and said in a soft voice, "Sheshe is gone, don't be afraid."
Cao Yuhao was the first to react. He stepped forward and hugged Jiaojiao, his tone full of admiration: "Jiaojiao, you actually dared to catch a snake! You are amazing! From now on, you are my only big brother!"
Being praised, Jiaojiao subconsciously puffed out her chest and said with a frown, "Yeah, Jiaojiao is amazing."
"Jiaojiao, you weren't bitten, were you?" Lou Yaoyao, who had recovered, held Jiaojiao's little hand and kept looking at it.
"Although, I still want to say, Yaozi, don't pull that hand, that hand just caught a snake!!!"
Suddenly, a striking comment floated across the blank screen of the live broadcast room. It seemed as if it had activated a certain button on netizens' buttons, and the dense comments instantly covered the screen of the live broadcast room.
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Am I seeing this right?!!"
'I woke up a bit too early this morning and saw a two-year-old kid catching a snake with his bare hands!'
"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going to catch up on some sleep now!"
"The bowl of mushroom noodles I had this morning probably had some undercooked greens in it. I'm hallucinating!"
'I bit my hand and it hurt so much, so this wasn't a dream?!'
"She can communicate with animals. Could this be a Disney princess on the run?!"
"No, it should be the fugitive prince!"
"Is this world magical?!"
'Let a zoologist explain it!'
Just as the people online and on-site were in a state of shock, mixed with an inexplicable excitement of having witnessed something, Li Yubai, soaking wet, rushed over from the riverbank with a gloomy face.
The terrifying aura surrounding him frightened the staff into giving way.
Li Yubai rushed forward and immediately reached out to pick up Jiaojiao and hold him in his arms, then searched his little hands, arms and legs to check for any wounds.
"Dad." Seeing her father, Jiaojiao's eyebrows curved and she called out crisply.
Li Yubai lowered his eyes to look at him. Seeing that there was no redness around his eyes, indicating he had cried, he concluded that he had probably not been bitten. However, he still checked again, feeling uneasy. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Was he bitten?"
Jiaojiao shook her head: "No."
"Sure?"
Jiaojiao nodded with bright eyes: "It is certain that the snake did not bite Jiaojiao."
Hearing this, Li Yubai's tense heart relaxed, but then a surge of fear came over him.
Li Yubai, who rarely showed such intense emotions, slapped Jiaojiao's butt twice and said in a low voice, "Who told you to catch the snake? With so many adults here, is it your turn to catch the snake?"
When the staff present heard Li Yubai's low shout, their faces turned red instantly, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look up to see anyone.
Jiaojiao, who had been looking at her father with a smile on her face, immediately became so aggrieved that her mouth turned red, her eyes turned red, and tears started to fall after hearing her father's harsh words.
