Chapter 220 There is a snake
Nie Yao burst out laughing, shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you..."
She felt that the name Lu Heng was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"I've seen your interviews and speeches. You're truly a beautiful and talented person!" Lu Heng said, then asked excitedly, "I'm also a fan of yours. Could I take a photo with you to satisfy my admiration?"
Seeing his excited look, Nie Yao did not refuse. She took a photo with him and agreed to let him take a photo of her watercolor painting.
Fortunately, Lu Heng, who claimed to be her fan, was also very considerate and did not ask too much about the gossip about the Nie family. Instead, he enthusiastically asked about her archaeological experiences.
Nie Yao spoke casually, but Lu Heng listened very seriously. The two of them sat on the grass. Lu Heng couldn't help but look up and sighed softly, "Oh, I'm so envious. Actually, my childhood dream was also to do archaeology. What a pity..."
He paused here.
"It's not too late to learn now. As long as you like it, it's never too late to learn!" Nie Yao encouraged him with a smile.
"It's too difficult. Coming out for a run and chatting with you like this is just a break from my busy schedule..." Lu Heng said this when he suddenly noticed something moving not far away. He screamed in fright and grabbed Nie Yao's arm, saying, "Quick, look, is that a snake?"
Nie Yao looked in the direction of his finger and saw that there was indeed a snake tail in the bushes. She slowly stood up and walked towards the snake.
Lu Heng turned pale with fear and said tremblingly, "Are you going to die? This is a snake, be careful not to get bitten, think of a way!"
"It's okay, this snake is not poisonous, just drive it away..." Nie Yao recognized at a glance that the snake was just a non-venomous green snake, and smiled lightly, comforting him, "Don't be afraid!"
"Are you sure it's not poisonous?" Lu Heng stood up carefully and walked to Nie Yao. He wanted to take a closer look, but then he saw the green snake crawling out from the grass. He was so scared that he stepped back.
"Hurry, chase it away, it will be troublesome if it bites you!"
Nie Yao smiled faintly, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have a lighter with you?"
"No, I don't smoke and I don't carry that stuff..." Lu Heng shook his head and answered honestly.
Nie Yao thought for a moment, then turned her gaze to the unused watercolor paint beside her. She took the squeezed watercolor paint and placed it beside the grass not far from the green snake.
The strong smell of paint forced the green snake, which was peeking out of its hiding, to immediately turn around and hide back in the grass. It moved so quickly that it disappeared in an instant.
"Look, the snake's gone..." Nie Yao smiled as she walked back to Lu Heng, patted his arm and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid!"
"Really?" Lu Heng then stared wide-eyed and observed carefully for a moment. After confirming that there was no trace of the snake, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with some admiration: "You are amazing. You actually drove the snake away so quickly!"
"Watercolor paint has a strong smell, which is unbearable for people sometimes, and even more so for snakes. In fact, whether they are poisonous or not, snakes cannot tolerate many odors, so many people use realgar to repel snakes! Of course, if you have fire, that can also be done..."
Nie Yao explained with a faint smile, and then said, "Sometimes there are no snake repellents or poisonous insect repellents in the wild, so we can only use local materials!"
