Seeing Huo Junhao trembling, Gu Xin snatched the wooden stick: "Sisi, comfort him, I'll go release the snake."
Gu Si squatted down and said with great remorse, "Huo Junhao, Sister Xinxin went to throw it away, don't be afraid! I didn't mean to, I didn't know you were afraid. My brother said some boys are afraid of snakes, but I didn't believe it because none of the boys in our village are afraid, so I wanted to try it out!"
Huo Junhao felt even more aggrieved. He looked up at Gu Xin, who had already walked away, and then said angrily, "So you mean I'm terrible, not even as good as the boys in your village?"
Gu Si quickly shook her head: "No, really no!"
Huo Junhao pouted: "Sisi, you're really not being fair! Although a real man should be fearless, I'm just afraid of spineless animals like this!"
Gu Si patted Huo Junhao's shoulder: "Huo Junhao, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have scared you! I promise, I won't do it again! If you encounter a snake, I'll catch it for you, I'll protect you! Don't cry anymore."
Huo Junhao buried his head and cried even louder, but only he knew whether he actually shed tears.
Gu Siji was extremely upset. Although her martial arts skills had skyrocketed, she was still a kind-hearted girl and would never do anything to bully others!
She didn't know what to do, so she could only squat down beside him and look at Huo Junhao with guilt.
Huo Junhao didn't hear any noise, but he could see the embroidered shoes next to his feet. He rubbed his eyes on his sleeve, then looked up at Gu Si.
Gu Si: The little prodigy was terribly frightened; his eyes were all red.
Gu Si said apologetically, "Huo Junhao, I'm really sorry, I promise I won't scare you anymore."
Huo Junhao pursed his lips: "Then, will you give me food from now on?"
Gu Si was taken aback, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, you can have it all, you can have it all."
Huo Junhao: "You don't have to give me all of it. Just give it to me when I'm hungry, or when my brother and second brother are bullying me and I have nothing to eat. Be quiet and don't let anyone see."
Gu Si nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he held out his hand: "Let's pinky swear! Forever!"
Huo Junhao forced down the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, and hooked his little finger up to them: "Okay! No change for a hundred years!"
When Gu Xin released the snake back into the woods and ran back, Gu Si had already coaxed Huo Junhao back to health.
Gu Xin stepped forward: "Huo Junhao, are you alright? I'm so sorry, we really didn't know you were so scared."
Huo Junhao waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright, Sisi, Xinxin, why aren't you two girls afraid?"
Gu Si: "I used to be scared. I was frightened by the boys in the village. My dad told me that snakes are lazy. If you don't attack them, they won't bother with you. Besides, the most common snake in our village is the rat snake, which is really not poisonous."
Gu Xin nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. Uncle used to scold lazy people by calling them lazy snakes. We just caught them to play with; they didn't bite us, and we released them after we were done playing with them!"
Huo Junhao smirked: "The daily life of these village girls is so enviable. They all catch snakes to play with. Luckily, I didn't bring my sister with me, otherwise she would definitely have been scared to tears, oh no, she would have fainted from fright."
At this moment, Lu Zheng arrived with Yan Mo.
Empress Dowager Jiang was not at the second branch of the family; she had gone to the old house to chat with Grandma Gu. Only the sisters and a few members of the Meng family were at home in the second branch.
