Chapter 69 Harvest
A scream made everyone look towards the source of the sound.
Shengze was originally hitting chestnuts at a high place. When he heard the sound, he instinctively jumped over there.
When Shen Qingqian's eyes fell on the snake, the hairs on his body stood up, and he shouted, "Don't move!"
Sheng Ze's hand was almost touching the snake's body, but he was frightened by the roar and shrank back, narrowly avoiding contact with the snake's body.
But he reacted quickly. As soon as he retracted his hand, he immediately thrust the sharpened branch into the snake's vitals!
His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, the poisonous snake that had posed a threat to them just now was nailed to the tree and died.
Shen Qingqian: "I understand. A master doesn't need her to be so nervous."
Everyone ran to the tree and stared at the unusually green snake in fear.
"This snake is obviously poisonous. Luckily Cheng San killed it, otherwise who knows what would have happened to us."
"If you ask me, it's because Sixth Miss had sharp eyes that she saw it was a poisonous snake, otherwise Cheng San might have been bitten."
“Yes, I think so too.”
Everyone was terrified, but Shen Qingning stared at the fallen snake with shining eyes, "Can this snake be eaten?"
Shen Qingyu pulled her with a helpless look on his face, "Fifth sister, can you please stop thinking about eating?"
If you don’t know, you might think that all the girls in the Shen family love to eat it.
"Why not?" Shen Qingning said confidently, "Aren't we out here just to find food?"
Shen Qingyu: “” She was speechless.
"This snake is extremely poisonous and cannot be eaten. Fifth sister, please don't touch it!" Shen Qingqian was shocked by Shen Qingning's words and quickly said, "Look, it's completely black. Everything it crawled through has withered and died. Its venom is extremely strong."
She didn't know what the snake was called, but just by looking at the traces on the tree trunk it had just crawled over and the traces on the ground and on the tree, she knew that this snake must not be touched.
Upon hearing this, everyone was thankful again. Shen Qingman and the others even warned Shen Qingning not to touch the snake out of greed.
The incident passed without any major incident, and the group continued to stockpile chestnuts. When the sun went down, all the chestnuts that could be packed were filled, and there were still many left.
"We can't just throw these away here. There are so many wild animals in the mountains. Who knows if they will still be there tomorrow? Let's hurry up and make something to carry back." Shen Qingqian said while wiping his sweat.
Shen Qingman was already leading people to do it. "Sixth sister, mine is almost done. We just need to make a few more."
She made something similar to a raft out of branches and leaves, tying the twigs together and filling the gaps with scattered leaves, so that things wouldn't leak out when she put them on.
"Second sister is really smart." Shen Qingqian gave her a thumbs up.
Shen Qingman accepted her praise generously and directed others to do the same.
Everyone worked together and soon made several rafts of different sizes, and carried all the chestnuts back to the camp.
A total of ten groups went out, and each group brought back a lot of food. However, Shen Qingqian's group still stood out.
"Oh, I didn't expect your group of girls could bring back so many chestnuts. This will be enough for us to eat for a long time."
"Chestnuts are good, they fill your stomach and last a long time!"
"But with so many things, will we really be able to carry them when the time comes?"
When some people are happy, others are worried, but the reasons for worrying are a bit strange.
Li Laosan was using a stick to knock the mud off his straw sandals. He rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Are you stupid? With only this little food, there are about 200 of us. How much does it take in a day?"
