Chapter 26 Bitten by a Snake
the next day.
Under Wu Qingyun's guidance, Lu Ping'an hurriedly finished a pot of braised spareribs.
Knowing Shen Xiaoyue's appetite, he left half a pot at home.
The two of them gnawed the ribs slowly. Shen Xiaoyue remembered something and turned to look at Lu Pingan: “Lu Pingan, can I go to your second uncle’s house today?”
"Okay, you eat first, and I'll take you there after you finish."
Lu Pingan took back the meat that Shen Xiaoyue had given him with dissatisfaction: “Eat more. Eating so little will only feed ants.”
Shen Xiaoyue just wanted to trouble his uncle, so she picked up a piece for him as a reward. When she saw him pick it up again, she ate it without any hesitation until her mouth was full of oil.
After eating, Shen Xiaoyue immediately urged Lu Pingan to take her there.
Because of his personality and preferences, Lu Guoliang lives in a relatively remote place and has to pass through a bamboo forest to get to it.
Shen Xiaoyue observed carefully and found that various flowers were placed at the door of the house, competing with each other in beauty, forming a colorful small garden.
A string of exquisite wind chimes hangs by the door, and the bells emit a faint metallic luster. When the breeze blows, the wind chimes begin to sway, making a clear and pleasant sound.
This little old man has always been so romantic.
"Boom boom boom."
"Who is it?"
A strong voice came from behind the door.
"Uncle, it's me, Lu Ping'an."
"It's safe. The door is not locked. Come in by yourself."
Lu Ping'an pushed the door open and saw a piece of paper floating down at his feet. He picked it up and saw something that looked like clothes drawn on it.
"Uncle, are you making clothes again?"
Shen Xiaoyue also looked over there. At this moment, Lu Guoliang's hair was still dark, and he could be considered to be in his prime. He was dressed fashionably, and if you ignored the fact that he looked very similar to Liu Guodong, he had a rather suave vibe.
"No, I was just drawing for fun. What gust of wind blew you out of bed? Hey? Is this your partner?"
Lu Guoliang's eyes lit up. The girl in front of him had fair, smooth and delicate skin, delicate features like in a picture, and a well-proportioned figure. She was a good candidate to be a model.
Lu Pingan glanced at Shen Xiaoyue in panic: “Uncle, don’t talk nonsense, this is Shen Zhiqing.”
He explained his purpose.
Lu Guoliang was amused: "I knew you weren't that capable."
Lu Guoliang narrowed his eyes and pretended to be in deep thought: "If she wants to come to my place to make hats, it's fine. I have one condition: she has to be my model."
In addition to making clothes for others, Lu Guoliang would occasionally make some trendy styles for himself, but he felt very sorry when he couldn't find anyone suitable to wear them.
In fact, his nephew is also very good-looking, but unfortunately he doesn't want to be his model.
Shen Xiaoyue was not unfamiliar with this. Every time she helped Lu Guoliang select a design, he would design a set for her, under the pretext of letting her wear it and take some photos to help promote the brand.
She is beautiful, so the publicity effect is naturally good.
"no problem."
"Then it's settled. Shen Zhiqing, come with Hu Zhiqing after you finish your work tomorrow. I'll prepare the straw mats for you. Just come directly. My uncle has any fabric you need. Don't be polite to him."
Seeing that he didn't treat himself as an outsider, Lu Guoliang was angry and amused, and rolled his eyes at him: "You stinky boy."
After Lu Ping'an sent Shen Xiaoyue back, he rode his bicycle to pick a lot of straw.
After moving the straw mat to Lu Guoliang's house, he was given another big cold eye.
When riding out of the bamboo forest, Lu Ping'an heard a cry for help.
“Help…”
Song Weiya likes reading. The educated youth are very lively, so she would find a place to read with a book after dinner. This bamboo forest is a new place she has found. The air and light are good, it is not too sunny, it is a little cool, and it is quiet.
There seemed to be a family living deep in the bamboo forest. She was quite envious. One end of the bamboo forest was very close to the village, but the other end was connected to the mountain. This family was simply a quiet place in the midst of a bustling city.
But she was so absorbed in reading a book and it was getting late that she hurried to get up. She accidentally stepped on something and was bitten.
She immediately raised her head in pain and almost screamed out. It turned out to be a snake more than one meter long.
The snake ran away after biting her.
She couldn't tell whether the snake was poisonous or not. Two holes were bitten on her ankle. She was extremely panicked and terrified. Her ankle was swollen and painful. She could only shout for help, hoping someone could help her.
Lu Ping'an leaned towards the source of the sound and saw a familiar female educated youth sitting on the ground, crying and holding her ankle.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Comrade Lu, I was bitten by a snake."
Hearing someone coming, Song Weiya quickly raised her head and found that it was Secretary Lu’s son. She felt reassured instantly.
Lu Pingan frowned: “Don’t worry, do you still remember what the snake looks like?”
Song Weiya tried hard to recall and stumbled over the characteristics of the snake.
The villagers are very familiar with the characteristics of various snakes.
Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's a rat snake, it's not poisonous, I'll take you to the health center to disinfect it."
"Can you get up on your own?"
"Yes."
After Song Weiya heard that there was no poison, her tense body relaxed instantly, as if all the strength that had been drained from her body had returned to her body.
She slowly raised her hands, used all her strength to support her somewhat weak body, and then carefully sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
Song Weiya sat there quietly, her slender hands tightly gripping the pole behind the seat.
This was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with a boy.
Thinking of this, her originally shy personality became even more obvious. Her heart started pounding like a little rabbit in her chest, and her cheeks flushed involuntarily.
After a long while, Song Weiya calmed down a little, mustered up the courage and said softly: “Thank…thank you, Comrade Lu.”
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito or fly. If the surrounding environment was not very quiet, it would be difficult to hear what she said.
The wind of this season has added a bit of coolness, blowing the pleasant scent of soapberries from the person in front of her over. Smelling this faint fragrance, Song Weiya's originally panicked heart gradually calmed down.
But at the same time, an inexplicable feeling of irritation slowly rose from the bottom of her heart, making her feel at a loss.
The clinic was not far away, so Lu Ping'an went in first: "Old Li, come and take a look. An educated youth was bitten by a rat snake."
"Ouch, so careless, let me see."
Old Li observed it for a long time with a magnifying glass, disinfected it and applied some medicine.
"Okay, be more careful next time. These snakes usually don't bite people on their own initiative."
Song Weiya nodded embarrassedly: “I stepped on it accidentally.”
Then he turned his head and looked at Lu Ping'an, and said softly: "Comrade Lu, I'm fine."
Lu Pingan nodded: "Then I'll go back first."
Old Li slapped him on the head and said, "Lu family kid, be a good person to the end. How can this person walk? Send him back!"
Lu Pingan, who was hurt by the beating, was speechless: "Old Li, how come your strength hasn't decreased at your age? Your ears are deaf, and I didn't hear anyone say that it's okay."
