"Oh my god, look! Where did all these snakes come from? Look, look, there are even snakes crawling into the building."
"My goodness, that's terrifying! Didn't you see all those snakes swarming around the young mistress's room? Isn't that strange?"
"Could it be... could it be that the news we received is true, and our young mistress... could she... could she be some kind of unclean being reincarnated? Ugh, ugh, ugh... I was just talking nonsense, I didn't mean anything by it..."
The entire villa was filled with terrified screams and various murmurs.
Yi Yi sat on the sofa in the downstairs hall, her face deathly pale. She had been terrified of snakes since childhood, and the sight of one would send chills down her spine. Seeing so many snakes in front of the door just now had nearly made her faint. If Li Ma hadn't pulled her away, she would probably still be standing there, surrounded by those snakes.
"Yi Yi, Yi Yi, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time and her face was frighteningly pale, Li Ma asked with concern.
Still shaken by what she had just witnessed, Yi Yi clutched Li Ma's hand tightly. "Li Ma, did you...did you see that? So many snakes..."
“I know, I know, I saw it too. It’s really strange, when did so many snakes appear at Maple Riverside? It scared me to death. Luckily, none of us were bitten. Don’t be afraid, Yi Yi, the men in black are here and catching the snakes. They’ll catch them all.”
"This is terrifying! Why are there so many snakes all of a sudden? This is so abnormal." Startled, Yi Yi also realized how strange this was. She had originally planned to take this opportunity to catch the person spreading rumors behind her back, but instead of catching them, she found so many snakes at the door.
These snakes are acting strangely; they might be the same person spreading those rumors.
Li Ma was still shaken and shook her head in confusion. "Yes, I also find it strange. When have snakes ever appeared here before, let alone so many at once? Yi Yi, I think you shouldn't sleep here for the next few days. Come with me to find Miss and Master over there, and we can all stay together."
“No way.” Yi shook her head, unwilling. “I’m not moving. If I move now, I won’t be able to catch the person who’s been causing trouble behind my back.”
"But... living here is too dangerous. Look, if we hadn't run fast, we might have been bitten by those snakes. We don't even know if those snakes are poisonous or not."
“Aunt Li, I know you’re worried about me, but I’m fine. Just be careful. If you’re scared, go back to Sister Wenya’s place and wait for me…”
"What are you saying?" Aunt Li interrupted Yi Yi with displeasure. "I've lived for so many decades, what haven't I seen? It's just a few snakes. At worst, I'll pickle them and make them into barbecue! Alright, I'll come with you, let's catch ghosts together."
Li Ma held Yi Yi's hand tightly, refusing to let go. This made Yi Yi feel much more at ease; at least, she wasn't as scared as before.
It wasn't until dawn that all the snakes inside and outside the villa were caught and thrown into several large bags.
"Madam, we have checked carefully and there shouldn't be any more snakes getting in. We will send someone to disinfect the area later, so please rest assured and stay here."
The man in black, Xiao Hei, came to report.
