Chapter 118, Discovered (Seeking Recommendation Vote)
After the first successful start, the following process was much simpler. Four people held the bags and Mei Xue caught them alone.
After running over four or five hills, the five of them finally returned home in the afternoon.
The bags brought up the mountain were basically filled with snakes, and no one could remember how many were in them.
Looking at the sun that had finally come out, Mei Xue stopped and said, "That's all for today, let's go back." It was getting late, and if she didn't go back, her grandma would be worried.
"Oh, okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law." An Liang slowly accepted the snake and was no longer as scared as he was at the beginning. When he heard his sister-in-law say that she wanted to go back, he felt a little disappointed.
But he listened to his sister-in-law, and if she said he should go back, then he would go back.
It is difficult to go up the mountain but easy to go down. They didn't go far away in the first place. They were hiding in the mountains behind each house. Now they can see the houses at the foot of the mountain.
The four of them hurried home happily, only Mei Xue shook her hands with a look of disgust. There was nothing she could do, as she was the only one who caught these snakes, and her hands were all covered with the fishy smell of snakes.
It smells really bad.
They quickly went down the mountain from behind He Zhengting's house because there was a main road leading into the mountain.
You will definitely take a shorter route when coming down, so it is faster and safer to just go down from the road.
As soon as the five people came down, they heard a scream, "An Liang, you little bastard, where have you been all day?"
The boys didn't dare tell their families about going out to catch snakes.
Afraid of being beaten.
Aunt Meilian searched for the person for the whole day but unfortunately didn't find him. Just then she came back from the vegetable garden and saw her son. She couldn't bear it any longer.
But when she saw Mei Xue, her expression changed immediately, "Xiao Xue, you are also with this brat, where have you been?"
The change was so fast, it was amazing. He Anliang's scalp tingled. If he told his mother that they were going to catch a snake, would he respond?
An Liang didn't doubt for too long, he knew for sure in his heart, yes.
"We are going to the mountains to catch snakes. Where are you going, Aunt Meilian?" Mei Xue asked politely when she saw them.
"What?" At this time, a voice came from the next room, "You dare to take Xiaoxue to catch snakes, I will beat you to death." This person was none other than Aunt Xilian.
Her house is next to He Zhengting's, with only a road between the two houses.
"Aunt Xilian." Several people shouted.
"Xiaoxue, are you hurt? Have you been bitten by a snake? You troublemakers, why did you ask Xiaoxue to catch a snake? What if she gets bitten?"
Not only Aunt Xilian was worried, but even Aunt Meilian was worried as well.
Aunt Ting also came out from the kitchen. "What's wrong?" She saw her son and asked immediately.
Mei Xue was a little confused. Didn’t these people tell their families when they were going out?
"Mrs. Ting."
"You guys just said you were going to catch a snake? Anshan, how dare you take your sister-in-law to catch a snake? What if something goes wrong? You guys are really troublesome."
After seeing that their parents only cared about their sister-in-law, the three of them felt very guilty.
"Xiaoxue, let me see if you are injured." Three people immediately surrounded them and pushed the four guys out.
Xiaoxue was still very repulsive to people other than her grandmother. She didn't like to get too close to her, so she hid herself immediately. "I'm fine. I'm not hurt. It's getting late. I have to go back, otherwise my grandmother will worry."
After saying that, Mei Xue ran away.
I'm really afraid that they will do something to me.
Mei Xue didn't dare to think about that feeling anymore.
Seeing Mei Xue running away, the four guys behind her became scared. They didn't dare to face their mother for fear of being beaten.
Just as they wished, the three mothers really went forward and slapped their sons, but they only slapped their sons on the body, not on the face.
When An Cheng thought he might have escaped a disaster, Auntie Ting's words reached his ears from the side: "An Cheng, you little bastard, I won't beat you. Wait until you go back and get beaten by your mother."
After hearing this, An Cheng thought he should run away quickly.
An Cheng ran away, and An Liang and An Shan became the main targets of beating. Fortunately, An Wen was old, so Aunt Xilian would not beat them too hard.
"Aunt, please stop fighting. We have snakes all over the floor." No one would sleep peacefully with this thing in their home.
"Get out." The three words "get out" freed the three people.
Only after running all the way into Third Grandma's house did the three of them finally breathe a sigh of relief.
An Cheng, who had arrived earlier, was washing his hands at the shaking well, and he placed the snake under the osmanthus tree.
"Where is my sister-in-law?" As soon as they came in, the three of them asked immediately when they didn't see anyone.
An Cheng pointed to the house and said, "Third Grandma is in there."
So, even though there were four people in the courtyard, it was very quiet.
"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry." Mei Xue came in to see her grandma as soon as she came back. She was afraid that her grandma would worry about her.
"Grandma is not worried about you. I know you are capable. But, did you eat anything at noon? Are you hungry?" Grandma He and Mei Xue were not on the same page.
After hearing that her grandmother was not worried, Mei Xue smiled and said, "I'm hungry. I didn't eat enough in the mountains." She just roasted a snake to eat, but it was impossible to be full.
"Okay, go clean up quickly, those guys are still outside." Don't think she is deaf.
"Can I leave the snakes at our house?" There are so many of them that they might not even dare to take them back.
"Let it go, let it go, you can tie the bag up. It would be bad if it runs out." Grandma He said worriedly.
"I know." If you can still escape from her hands, you can dream on.
Compared to Mei Xue's confidence, Grandma He is not so confident. It is true that the snake is a cold-blooded animal, but the old lady also said that snakes are the most vengeful. If it really runs away, she will worry about Mei Xue...
As soon as Mei Xue came out, she saw four people quietly playing with the snake through the bag.
"Is it fun?" Mei Xue asked.
The four of them looked up and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Third Grandma angry?" This was what the four of them were most worried about.
Mei Xue was happy, "You guys are still afraid?"
"Yes." The four of them nodded in unison. "We may not be afraid of our parents, but we are really afraid of Third Grandma. Sister-in-law, you don't know that Third Grandma's beating is very painful."
An Liang said with a look of grievance.
Of course Mei Xue knew that An Liang had made her grandmother have beatings many times, and she was most afraid that her grandmother would be normal.
But grandma doesn’t beat everyone she sees, so there’s nothing for the other three to be afraid of.
"I've been beaten too." An Wen raised his hand a little embarrassedly.
He and He Anze were quite naughty when they were young, so it was normal for him to be beaten.
"Okay, grandma is not angry. Do you still remember how many snakes you caught?" Mei Xue wanted to count them. She had a scale at home, so she had to weigh them so that An Liang wouldn't be confused when the time comes.
"I remember there were about twenty-two of them, all very big." An Liang said he was no longer afraid, but he was still a little scared in his heart, just a little bit.
"So many?" Mei Xue didn't expect this.
"I'm afraid An Liang hasn't said enough. Sister-in-law, do you plan to weigh it?" An Wen was more mature.
