Following Jiang Qiao's gaze, a golden snake, as thick as a bowl, appeared before them. "Oh my god, run—"
Seeing the cold glint in the giant snake's eyes, Zhao Jian shouted this, and everyone took off running outside. Jiang Qiao sprinkled medicine powder as she ran, afraid that the snake would chase after them.
Turning back and finding that the snake hadn't followed, Jiang Qiao called out to everyone, "It's alright now, don't run away! My god, my legs are about to give way! What is this? I've never seen anything like it before!"
Let alone her, even Chen Fang couldn't say for sure. You could say it's a python, but it doesn't quite look like one; golden pythons don't live in this area. But if you were to say it's something else, he really couldn't say.
Zhao Jian patted his chest and exclaimed, "My god, this thing is terrifying! It's even more chilling than dealing with an enemy!"
"Dad, I can't take it anymore, my legs are weak, I'm scared—"
After saying this, she fell to the ground, and Gu Zhengfeng picked up his daughter.
"Qiao'er, Qiao'er—"
Jiang Qiao had obviously fainted. Chen Fang came over to take a look, shook his head, and said worriedly, "She's unconscious. Let her rest for a while. Not to mention the child, even I feel a chill down my spine. The snake's eyes, just thinking about them now makes me feel scared. It was like it wanted to eat us up."
Gu Zhengfeng couldn't listen to what others were saying. He quickly pressed his daughter's philtrum, but it was no use. Jiang Qiao showed no signs of waking up. He then checked under his daughter's nose and found that she was breathing.
With a sigh, he said, "Alright, let's rest for a while. Or, you two can go back first and see if the meat is cooked. While you're at it, you can pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables. I'll carry the child and walk slowly. Grandpa Qiao said that Qiao'er is most afraid of snakes, and it's always Grandpa who handles catching snakes when we go up the mountain. Sigh—"
Gu Zhengfeng regretted it. Why did he agree to let his child come and see those snakes? He was scared when he saw them, let alone his own daughter.
He just couldn't figure out what the child's current condition was, or if his life was in danger. Last time, the child was in a coma for more than ten days, and he was worried that the same thing would happen again.
Gu Zhengfeng's worry was written all over his face. Even Chen Fang and Zhao Jian weren't in a good mood. The matter hadn't even been investigated yet, and one of them had already fainted. What a mess this was.
Zhao Jian wanted to help, but then he thought that Jiang Qiao was already a sixteen-year-old young woman, and it would be inappropriate for him to carry her.
“Brother Gu, let’s take it slow. There’s no rush. Let Jiang Qiao catch her breath. She’s probably still shaken from the shock of running all the way here. She must not have recovered yet.”
Gu Zhengfeng was worried, but he also knew what was important and felt a little embarrassed to have these two people accompany him and his son.
"How about this, I'll sit here with the child for a while, and leave after she wakes up. You can gather some things around here—"
This was a good suggestion. Zhao Jian and Chen Fang went off to pick some things, while Gu Zhengfeng sat on the stone slab with his daughter in his arms, worried that she might catch a cold.
Zhao Jian and the others were still worried, and while picking mushrooms and wild vegetables, they kept looking back at Gu Zhengfeng and his son.
Chen Fang sighed, "I have a feeling that Jiang Qiao's health isn't very good this year. She's only been better for a short time, how come she fainted again?"
"We need to have Old Gu take the child to the hospital for a checkup. We finally found our daughter; we can't let anything else go wrong."
Zhao Jian was confused. "What's wrong? Is Jiang Qiao having health problems again?"
Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, "I can't say for sure. I've encountered similar situations before. The person would fall into a coma and then die. I hope nothing bad happens to the girl. To be honest, I really like Jiang Qiao. She's good in every way."
Gu Zhengfeng, who was holding his daughter, had a very unusual feeling at this moment. As a martial artist, his senses were much more acute than those of ordinary people.
Now, he could feel that the wind blowing in his face was different from usual, and he felt comfortable all over.
At first he didn’t understand what was going on, but there seemed to be a power surging in his dantian.
Even if Gu Zhengfeng was stupid, he would understand that the opportunity to improve his internal strength had come. Holding his daughter, he closed his eyes. No one knew that he was now fully absorbing the strange energy surging around him.
At that moment, Jiang Qiao opened her eyes. She wanted to speak, but when she realized that her father had closed his eyes, she understood what was going on.
Her father was improving his internal strength, but when she thought about the source of this strange energy, she became worried. What exactly was this thing?
The key problem is that she's worried about what will happen if the old Japanese devils find this place.
With a sigh, Gu Zhengfeng finished his practice and opened his eyes to find his daughter staring at him.
With a look of surprise and delight, she asked, "Qiao'er, are you alright?"
Jiang Qiao nodded with a smile, then explained with lingering fear, "That thing's eyes were terrifying, like it wanted to devour me whole. Dad, I'm alright now, let's go quickly."
It was certainly a good thing that his daughter had woken up. Gu Zhengfeng quickly pulled Jiang Qiao up and shouted a few times to the two people in the distance.
"Ah? Jiang Qiao is awake, look—"
Zhao Jian and Chen Fang waved to Gu Zhengfeng and the two of them, then quickly walked back.
After they reunited, Chen Fang and Zhao Jian still asked a few questions out of concern.
"It's nothing, I was just scared. I have absolutely no interest in these things. Didn't you see the warning look in that snake's eyes? If we get any closer, those snakes might swarm us. Just imagine all those snakes coiling around us, you can imagine how that would feel—"
Zhao Jian shuddered. "Oh my god, stop talking! If you keep talking, I'll throw up. This is weird, really weird. Let's go home right away."
When Jiang Qiao and the others arrived at their resting place, Song Zhi had already grilled all the meat and carefully wrapped it in large leaves, just waiting for them to come back and distribute it so they could take it home.
Upon learning that Jiang Qiao had fainted, Song Zhi was startled. "Qiao'er, are you alright? Are you still dizzy? Is your body still weak?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I was just a little scared, but I'm fine now, Uncle. Let's go."
Seeing that Jiang Qiao didn't seem to want to lie, Song Zhi wasn't worried anymore. He called to the others, "Come over here, everyone. Let's divide it up and see if it can fit in the basket. If not, just put it in the bag. Wild vegetables aren't afraid of being trampled. As for the mushrooms, just leave them as they are. It's fine to have mushroom soup at home. It'll save you from breaking them."
Jiang Qiao picked up the things wrapped in leaves from the ground. "Uncle, these are deer penises. Who wants them?"
Chen Fang and Song Zhi raised their hands without hesitation, "I want it, I want it—"
Gu Zhengfeng suppressed a laugh, and seeing Zhao Jian behind the two men looking hesitant to speak, he patted him on the shoulder with a touch of pity.
"Little Zhao, you're still young. Let these two older folks have this. Keep the stuff safe and cook it yourselves when you get home. We're not going to interfere anymore—"
Seeing Gu Zhengfeng trying to suppress his laughter, Song Zhi playfully punched him, saying, "What are you laughing at? I'm not feeling well, can't I take some supplements?"
