Zhou Yingzhi and Zhuang Jingmo were exhausted, but Jiang Ning was not tired at all. Instead, she took the initiative to carry their bottled water. They brought four bottles of water, and with Jiang Ning's own water, it weighed several kilograms!
It's incredible that Jiang Ning can carry such a heavy burden and yet walk so easily.
"I'm not tired," Jiang Ning continued, "It's probably because I exercise regularly. You guys rest first, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Jiang Ning walked to the other side.
If she wasn't mistaken, there was an amaranth growing in a crack in the rocks not far away.
Iron amaranth can treat dysentery and infantile malnutrition, and it is a relatively rare herb found in the wild.
Zhou Yingzhi unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big gulp of water, then looked at Zhuang Jingmo, "How is it, Third Brother? Do you feel that Shengbao is different from other girls now?"
"People who exercise regularly are indeed much better physically than us. Is that something special?" Zhuang Jingmo asked rhetorically.
Zhou Yingzhi continued, "But she also recognized the origin of your name at a glance! Even I didn't know the meaning behind your name!" This kind of behavior would be reserved for the female lead even in a novel.
"She's a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so it's not surprising that she knows these things, is it?" Zhuang Jingmo asked rhetorically.
Zhou Yingzhi: "..."
Okay, okay!
He won.
Zhou Yingzhi didn't want to talk to Zhuang Jingmo anymore. She was afraid that Zhuang Jingmo would make her so angry that she would die. She tightened the cap of the mineral water bottle and was about to stand up and continue climbing the mountain when, in the next second, her face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Jingmo looked at Zhou Yingzhi.
Zhou Yingzhi's hand trembled as she pointed forward, "Third, Third Brother, look..."
Zhuang Jingmo immediately looked in the direction Zhou Yingzhi was pointing, and what he saw shocked him into breaking out in a cold sweat.
All I could see was...
A venomous snake, its tongue flicking, was coiled on a dead tree in front of them.
And they were only a step away.
Zhuang Jingmo lowered his voice, "Don't panic, as long as we don't move, it shouldn't attack us on its own."
“Okay, okay…” Zhou Yingzhi gripped Zhuang Jingmo’s arm tightly, her whole body trembling.
call out!
Just then, the venomous snake, which had been coiled there motionless, suddenly lunged forward. Just as it was about to bite Zhou Yingzhi's leg, Zhuang Jingmo stepped in front of Zhou Yingzhi and closed his eyes tightly.
Although he was in poor health, he was still the older brother, and as the older brother, he should have the responsibility of being one.
In that instant, Zhuang Jingmo was already prepared to be bitten by a venomous snake.
But the expected stinging sensation never came.
Instead, Zhou Yingzhi's shocked voice rang in her ears, "My God, Shengbao, you're amazing!"
Zhuang Jingmo then opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Ning holding the snake by its vital spot with his left hand and a fruit knife in his right hand. He cut open the snake's abdomen, took out a green snake gall, and swallowed it.
That whole move was incredibly cool!
Zhuang Jingmo and Zhou Yingzhi were dumbfounded.
Swallowing snake gall raw?!
Ironically, Jiang Ning did all this with a bright and cheerful demeanor, without any sense of incongruity, and without getting a single drop of blood on her hands.
Zhuang Jingmo never expected that Jiang Ning could catch a venomous snake with her bare hands, let alone swallow a snake gall bladder whole. His brain simply shut down!
Zhou Yingzhi swallowed hard, then asked, "Shengbao, can snake gallbladders be eaten raw?"
“Strictly speaking, it’s not edible because snakes live in the wild and have many parasites on their bodies. So I always take some special medicine when I swallow snake gallbladders.” After saying that, Jiang Ning took out a small bottle from her bag, poured out a small pill, and swallowed it.
