Chapter 696: Woman in White
As the little maid spoke, she rubbed the goose bumps on her arms with tears in her eyes.
I was scared and had goosebumps all over my body.
She had never encountered anything like this in her life.
It seemed as if the snakes appeared out of nowhere and were specifically designed to attack them.
When the little maid thought about this, she suddenly felt that this place was eerie.
Could it be that - I encountered the thousand-year-old snake spirit in the storybook?
The little maid shuddered.
"Miss, let's get out of here."
The little maidservant was half crying as she spoke, looking around with fear in her eyes.
The more I look at it, the more chilling the wind feels.
"Miss, this place is too scary. Maybe there are monsters..."
"Qingyin, stop talking nonsense." The woman in white, wearing a veiled hat, said in a cold voice, "A man should not speak of strange things. We just happened to encounter a group of snakes."
After the woman finished speaking, she looked towards Tang Bao and Shi Liu.
"Thank you both for your help."
The woman said this, bowing slightly to Tang Bao and Shi Liu.
"You're so polite, sister." Tang Bao returned the greeting and said in a clear voice, "We haven't been of much help, but have you been able to help me? If not, why don't you go over there?"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she pointed in the direction she came from.
I guess the master and servant wouldn't dare to continue here until they had finished.
"We have already..."
"Miss, this servant... this servant is feeling anxious again..."
The little maidservant, looking as if she was about to cry, interrupted the young lady.
She had just relieved herself, but when she got scared, she wanted to pee again.
The woman in white: "...In that case, you..."
"Miss, I dare not be here." The little maid said with a sad face, "I dare not go there by myself either."
She was now afraid just looking at the grass around her, let alone peeing in it.
Seeing the little maid's state, Shi Liu said enthusiastically, "Come with me. I will lead the way for you to a safe place."
After hearing this, the little maid looked at Shi Liu with gratitude, then looked up at her master, waiting for her agreement.
"Thank you very much." said the woman in white.
"It's okay!" Shi Liu said generously and waved to the little maid.
The little maid immediately followed with a grateful look on her face.
"Let me tell you, snakes aren't scary at all." Shi Liu said as they walked. "Snake meat is delicious. The kids in our village often go up the mountain to catch snakes. Whether they're roasted, braised, or fried, they're all incredibly delicious... Oh! Those snakes just ran away so fast. Why don't we catch a few to eat..."
Pomegranate's tone was full of regret.
After hearing what Shi Liu said, the little maid looked at Shi Liu's back with some fear.
Then, with a pale face and trembling with fear, he said, "Sister, can you... stop talking about snakes?"
She was scared.
Pomegranate: "...Okay."
This is too timid.
Tang Bao looked at the woman in white and said, "Sister is sitting in the carriage in front, let's go back first."
The woman in white nodded.
Because she was worried that the woman in white would have a psychological trauma from the bushes, Tang Bao deliberately walked in front of the woman in white.
He picked up a branch and knocked it against the grass on both sides.
Seeing this, the woman in white had a flash of gratitude in her eyes.
Although Tang Bao didn't say anything, she understood what Tang Bao meant.
"Thank you." said the woman in white.
Although it was not stated explicitly, both of them understood.
"You're welcome, sister." Tang Bao said casually, "Most women are afraid of soft-bodied animals like snakes. I was afraid of them when I was a child..."
Actually no!
There's still one on my wrist.
Tang Bao thought so and glanced at the little red on her wrist.
Xiaohong played the role of tool snake diligently, adjusting her body from time to time as Tangbao's wrist moved.
The woman in white walked behind Tang Bao, and her eyes inadvertently fell on Tang Bao's wrist.
On the slender white wrist, the emerald green bracelet sparkled with a bright light.
only--
Why did she feel that the ruby on the bracelet moved?
The white-clothed woman's pupils tightened and she paused.
My legs were shaking and my heart was beating fast.
Cold sweat began to break out on my body...
When Su Laowu saw that Tang Bao had not returned for a long time, he became worried and could not help but walk towards the dense forest.
"younger sister--"
"Fifth brother! I'm here!"
Tang Bao answered and quickened his pace.
Su Laowu immediately ran towards Tang Bao.
"Sister, are you okay? Where is Shi Liu?" Su Laowu asked.
He seemed to have vaguely heard a scream just now.
"Fifth brother, I'm fine." Tang Bao replied: "Sister Shi Liu will be back soon."
When the woman in white saw Su Laowu, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
It would be nice to have other people.
The woman in white sighed calmly.
His eyes still subconsciously looked at Tang Bao's wrist.
When Su Laowu came over, Tang Bao threw away the branch in his hand.
The sleeves covered the wrists and the bracelets on them.
Therefore, the woman in white only touched Tang Bao's sleeves, which were exquisitely crafted and had elegant orchid embroidery.
Su Laowu glanced at the woman in white behind Tang Bao, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
Tang Bao didn't introduce Su Laowu either.
After all, she didn't know the last name of the woman in white.
What's more, he had just come back from using the toilet, and it was on the ground.
In short, there is a hint of embarrassment.
Several people walked back together.
The old lady frowned when she saw her granddaughter coming back with the Su brothers and sisters, but the maid Qingyin was missing.
"Grandma." The woman in white walked up to the old lady and called out.
"Where is Qingyin?" asked the old lady.
The woman in white whispered what had just happened to the old lady.
Then, he hesitated and said, "Grandma, Ning'er feels...those snakes are a little strange..."
"What do you mean?" the old lady asked in confusion.
The woman in white thought for a moment and said, "Those snakes were obviously going to attack Qingyin and me, but when that little girl and her servant ran over, the snakes seemed frightened and fled in panic."
Yes, he fled in a panic.
At that time, she felt this feeling from the movements of those snakes.
Although, it feels amazing.
If she hadn't felt it herself, she wouldn't have believed it.
What the woman in white didn't say was that she observed that the snakes had their heads arched and were spitting out their tongues at her and Qingyin, as if they were about to pounce on them.
As a result, upon hearing the voices of the little girl and her maid, they all turned their heads and looked towards the master and servant...
The movements were so coordinated that it was terrifying.
When the woman in white thought of the scene at that time, her scalp felt tingling and her hands and feet became cold.
Then, the snakes quickly turned around and ran away.
The movements are very fast.
So much so that the little girl and her maid didn't even see the snake's tail.
After hearing what her granddaughter said, the old lady had a thoughtful expression on her face.
"In that case, you should thank me properly. Ning'er, help me over."
"Yes, Grandma."
The woman in white helped the old lady up and walked towards the Su brothers and sisters.
Tang Bao was talking to his fifth brother, and when he saw the old lady and her grandchildren coming over, he naturally stopped.
"Thank you so much for your help, little girl," the old lady said gently and kindly, "My granddaughter has been afraid of snakes since she was a child. If it weren't for you, she would have been frightened..."
"Madam, you are too kind." Tang Bao said quickly.
She didn't really feel like she was helping.
Even if they didn't go over, the snakes would probably move away.
Could it be that they are ganging up to attack people?
Unless there is someone directing it, it's impossible, right?
The old lady asked, "What's the little girl's last name? Where is she from?"
"My surname is Su, and I'm from Fengqi County." Tang Bao did not hide it.
The old lady's eyes flashed and she looked at Su Laowu.
"I wonder who this person is..."
"This is my brother." Tang Bao introduced.
