“You’ve changed. You used to be so cute when you talked, and you would make me act out all sorts of reactions.”
"Is there something wrong with what I'm saying right now?" Shekh stared at him with a death stare.
"Now that it's no longer cute, it's even more perfect."
“You haven’t changed,” Shekh retorted. “Still so afraid of death.”
Shi Jinzhe didn't care at all, and even said, "I'm afraid of you, and I'll live and die with you."
The kitchen helper, who had just carried the tray to the table, was in a dilemma.
Is it inappropriate for her to appear now?
Young people these days, the way they talk is really giving me a headache. It gave me goosebumps. How can she stand such cheesy talk?
She walked around Shi Jinzhe's back, wanting to see how big of a face it must be to say such a thing.
The last time someone said something like that was a college student who got drunk and insisted that he was the god who controlled social death, and that he would perform a spell on customers to show them what real social death was.
Auntie didn't know if the child had died; she only remembered that the child had vomited all over the floor, and she had to mop it up six times.
Curiosity led the aunt to approach quietly. She looked up and was then captivated.
The aunt went to see Shekh again immediately, and then, the second fold.
As the baking tray was placed on the table, she couldn't bear to leave the two of them, wanting to take another look. Even as she turned around, she walked backwards as if in slow motion.
"Ouch."
The aunt was bumped by something and slumped over the edge of the table.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an enormous black Great Dane that had rushed into the store.
The people eating nearby were startled.
"Wow, such a big dog? Is it even allowed in the city? Why isn't it on a leash?"
"It has a collar. Did the owner let it off because there was no one on the street so late?"
"You know what, he's actually pretty cool."
"Why isn't it moving? It rushed in like a black whirlwind just now, I thought it had gone mad, why is it so docile now?"
The large black dog that had rushed into the store slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of Shi Jinzhe and Shehe.
It stuck out its tongue and sat down on the ground, its head higher than the dining table, with the crystal pendant near its mouth dripping down.
As Shekh drew nearer, he gently asked, "Why does it smell like a snake? Is it craving you or meat?"
"It's meat, right? I didn't do anything..."
Shi Jinzhe lifted the collar around the Great Dane's neck, turned it over, and saw that it said "XX Venomous Snake Breeding Base" on it, with a row of mobile phone numbers below.
"It's a guard dog from the snake breeding base that escaped; it's probably after you."
He took out his phone and dialed that number.
The people eating nearby saw that the dog was not moving, so they sat back down, ate and watched, and then posted a picture on their WeChat Moments.
Shi Jinzhe put down his phone. "The snake farm said that a customer brought his child there. The child was brave and stole a snake. He was bitten halfway there and only realized it when he found out. In a panic, he threw the snake away. The farm owner was afraid something would happen, so in a moment of impulse, he let the dog out to smell and look for the snake."
Shekh: "Isn't there surveillance footage? How could they steal this?"
"That's right, it's a venomous snake." Shi Jinzhe guessed that even the owner of the arena didn't expect anyone to do such a thing.
He certainly didn't expect a child to steal a venomous snake that everyone would avoid. The factory's supervision and surveillance must have been just for show, which allowed the child to succeed.
"How old is the child doing this?"
The age range for human offspring in Schech is very wide, ranging from newborns to those in their fifties or sixties.
Shi Jinzhe's words were quite profound: "Eighteen years old, ready for execution."
Shekh responded with his usual sarcasm, "Pretty impressive."
The glossy black Great Dane hadn't left since it came in, and Sher and Shi Jinzhe couldn't tell who had attracted the dog.
The owner of the stall said that the dog was at a barbecue restaurant on the outskirts of the city and was on its way there by car.
The shop owner was afraid of scaring people, so he tried to lure the dog away with meat, but it just sat there without moving. It would only lift its buttocks when Shekh made a big movement.
Sheikh: "I don't think I smell of snakes..."
"Maybe it smelled something else," Shi Jinzhe wasn't quite sure either.
A few minutes later, Shekh stopped chewing and at the same time, the dog suddenly barked at the shop entrance. The bark was deep and resonant, like some kind of warning.
Shekh looked over and saw a thin, dark shadow falling from the sign above the shop.
Holy crap!!!
"Oh my god—a snake!"
The people at the next table, which was close to the door, screamed loudly, and several of them jumped half a meter high.
The snake slithered very fast. When people cried out in fright, the snake flattened its neck, revealing a swollen neck with white ring-shaped stripes on its back. It was a Zhoushan cobra.
"Help...help..."
The people at the other table were stunned; some stood frozen in place, forgetting even to run.
Humans have an innate fear of venomous snakes when they face them: swift attack, potent venom, and elusiveness. Even with advanced modern medicine and various antivenoms, it is still necessary to know which snake is causing the bite in order to treat the venom effectively.
I used the wrong one; clicking it won't work.
Shi Jin turned around and gave the man a push, then grabbed the collar of the black Great Dane and led the barking dog away.
Antiserum should not be used on dogs that have been bitten. This dog is well cared for; we hope it doesn't die because of the owner's negligence.
Because of the snake, the scene was chaotic. The shop owner even forgot to light the barbecue grill and kept screaming "ah ah ah ah" along with the customers.
The scream abruptly stopped when Shekh pinched the Zhoushan cobra by the scruff of its neck.
The lively cobra, dangling like a rope, instantly became docile in Sheikh's hands.
"Please sit back down."
Shi Jinzhe said helplessly, "Do you have any way to stop this dog from barking? It's so late at night, it's turning on the lights in the high-rise building over there, it's disturbing the peace."
He tried to soothe the Great Dane with his life force, but it only made the dog more excited.
From its excited lunge, one could sense a reckless determination to challenge this snake.
Shekh nodded: "It is a bit noisy."
She looked at the dog being suppressed by Shi Jinzhe, then at the cobra in her hand, and had an idea.
"Bring the dog over here and bring it to my side."
Shi Jinzhe dragged the drooling dog over, and then Shehe flicked the snake in his hand. The tail of the Zhoushan cobra wrapped around the dog's neck with a "snap" like a magnetic coil.
Shekh held down the snake's head, then slapped the dog's head, and both of them became obedient.
From a distance, you'd think it was a blind man with a guide dog eating barbecue.
The guide dog is a bit big, and the leash is a bit thick. As for the blind person...
She ate with great relish, and there were people serving her.
The snake farm owner, who rushed over, stepped into the shop but then pulled his foot back, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes.
His dog and his snake were so harmonious, living such a peaceful life, which seemed quite different from what he had imagined.
