Besides, such a small creature, after removing its fur and belly, would still have a couple of bites of meat left?
She really couldn't bring herself to do it.
He pushed the pebble to Cheng An and told him to take it. He then squatted down and picked up a handful of pebbles, weighing them in his hand and muttering to himself, wondering if he could become famous among the children.
"Bang!"
"ah!"
"Snake! Run!"
"There's a snake!!!"
Cheng An rushed forward a few steps, and Jian Dan's expression changed. She knew there were many snakes and insects around here, but she didn't expect to encounter them so soon.
Thinking about it and wondering what that sound was, he darted out and threw the pebble in his hand without hesitation.
"Run! Run outside!"
The children ran outside in a panic. Those as young as Cheng Rui were fine; they just took off running.
The younger children, whose mountain paths were already rugged, became so frightened in their anxiety that they were completely paralyzed with fear. Some of them cried loudly, two of them spun around in circles, and a few others were so terrified that they stood motionless in place.
Simple could only hear hissing crawling sounds, but couldn't see the real thing, so he dared not be careless.
I've run out of pebbles, and I'm incredibly anxious.
"Run outside! Don't just stand there, are you out of your mind?!"
Upon reaching them, he disregarded everything else, grabbed the two children, and ran.
"Don't just stand there, are you stupid? Run!"
Cheng Rui, who had recovered from his shock, turned back and dragged a child outside. Cheng An followed closely behind, but instead of rushing back, he calmly gave instructions.
"Quickly, big ones, each of you take one of the smaller ones, I'll cover the rear, hurry!"
Cheng Rui threw the child down, not even bothering to check if he was standing properly, and shoved him.
"Go back and call the adults,"
Then he turned around and ran back.
Cheng An stood there, still shouting.
"Don't panic, don't panic, don't be afraid, the adults will be here soon. Quickly run over there, the older ones watch over the younger ones and don't let them run around."
Children are still children, but they have grown up in this environment. Whether you call it being influenced by what they see and hear or not, especially the sensible ones, they quickly calmed down.
When Jian Dan returned to the scene, less than half a minute had passed. Cheng Rui, panting, dragged away the last child, leaving Cheng An alone.
At this moment, a snake more than half a meter long also emerged from the weeds. It was not large in size, with a reddish-brown back and irregular black horizontal stripes. Most notably, its head and body were almost connected.
Upon seeing them, they stopped wriggling, raised their upper bodies, and flicked their tongues.
Jian breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. It seemed to be a red sand python, but thankfully, it wasn't poisonous.
At the same time, he pulled Cheng An behind him.
"Walk!"
Without bothering to hide, he pulled out a dagger and rushed over to fight the snake.
Cheng An staggered to his feet, clenched his fists, and wanted to step forward, but was afraid of getting in the way, so he stood awkwardly to the side.
He's only ten years old, still a child. He was just pretending to be calm a moment ago, but now his voice is trembling with tears.
"Brother, did you go back and call for help? We need to find Dad!"
Not far behind, Cheng Rui gathered the children together. When he saw Jian Dan step forward, he hurriedly took a few steps forward as well. The little boy had a serious face, no longer laughing and playing as before, and his little mouth was tightly pursed.
The snake's skin was slippery and tough. I tried to swirl around it a few times but couldn't get close. I couldn't help but get a little anxious, afraid that it might accidentally dart over to the child. In the instant I separated, I was slapped hard by the snake's tail, and my small body was flung against the tree trunk next to me.
Simple cursed inwardly, but she had to stay alert and make a quick mental round before it caught up with her. She got up quickly, and in this tense situation, pain and other things had to take a backseat. She couldn't think of anything else; nothing was more important than her life.
With weeds and bushes blocking the way, she simply put away the dagger and took out a triangular military knife. The dagger was too small, and the snake wouldn't let her get close, so it was practically useless. This military knife was much more handy.
"Brother, is Dad here?"
Cheng Rui looked back for what felt like the umpteenth time, and could vaguely see a dark figure running towards him. He was overjoyed.
"Sister, hang in there! Someone's coming!"
She was always downwind, and even though she had prepared the medicine, she hadn't been able to use it. She secretly wanted to do something sneaky. This snake had poor eyesight, and as far as she knew, snakes generally didn't harm people. When they were frightened, they would usually burrow into the sand. She didn't know what had happened just now, but it had actually crawled out.
Don't talk about protecting animals or rare animals. When it comes to human life, that naturally has to take a backseat. Besides, we don't even know if they're protected animals yet.
Taking advantage of the moment he slipped behind it, he simply threw a piece of meat at it. In the instant the snake's head flew past, he picked up his military dagger and plunged it into its vital spot, then twisted it sharply.
The snake, in pain, immediately straightened up, raised its head, and twisted its head and tail wildly, coiling them together.
He quickly drew his weapon and retreated. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure approaching. Using the bushes for cover, he put his military dagger into his spatial storage and took out his dagger, inserting it into the wound from a distance. Seeing that it was indeed no longer capable of fighting and was only breathing its last gasp, he collapsed to the ground.
It hadn't been long, but she was definitely exhausted. Her arms were sore, and her legs were numb from kicking. Now that she was resting, the pain in her back was becoming more and more obvious.
When Cheng An ran over, his voice was still trembling.
"Sis, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
My clothes were torn in several places, but I didn't have any other injuries, except for a bruise on my back.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just exhausted. Oh, don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying? I'm fine now."
