Chapter 262 Sorry, I won't drink anymore.
After giving Song Jingyi the injection, Acheng sat cross-legged on the ground, tidied his backpack, and said nonchalantly, "It's for work."
The word "shock" was beyond words.
She couldn't imagine what kind of job required carrying snake antivenom, and Ah Cheng's bag looked so high-end...
Chen Mo put the snake at Song Jingyi's feet into a bag, tied it up, and walked over to Shen Yanzhou, who was contacting the scenic area. "It's still alive. Take it for investigation."
Shen Yanzhou nodded in acknowledgment, took the bag, and looked at the golden ringed snake inside.
This type of snake is more common in the south and very rare in the north.
Moreover, as the weather gets cooler, the snakes are less likely to venture out.
Yan Buyu glanced at Song Jingyi, then at his hand.
She wanted to get a closer look at the scratch; if it was bleeding, she would have to go to the hospital to be on the safe side.
But she was too embarrassed to say it directly.
Suddenly, a large, thick hand with a tattoo on the back of its head reached out in front of her. Song Jingyi smiled and said, "Look, don't be afraid."
Yan Buyu blushed for a moment when someone saw through his inner thoughts.
But she looked at it carefully, without hesitation.
The scratches from before are now so shallow they're barely visible. There's no bleeding, not even a scratch.
She was just too nervous.
This caused Song Jingyi to receive an injection.
“Um,” she looked up at the person opposite her.
Song Jingyi lowered his eyes and asked, "Hmm?"
"If you're okay, will the serum injection have any effects? Will you feel unwell? Should you go to the hospital?"
Song Jingyi spoke softly, afraid of frightening the little girl with red eyes in front of him again, "It's okay."
"It's alright, Miss. Let me tell you, this is a piece of cake. My boss is very resilient. He was bitten by a much more venomous snake back then and he has antibodies now. This injection won't be a problem for him. Don't worry." Acheng packed his things and stood up. "It smells so good over there. Let's start eating."
Why would someone be bitten by a more venomous snake?
Why... should we resist such things?
He seemed to want to ask, but didn't open his mouth; perhaps he didn't want to talk about these things.
Si Jingxu put his arm around Yan Buyu's shoulder. "Alright, let's go get something to eat first."
Song Jingyi was in a good mood and followed Yan Buyu with light and unhurried steps.
In his view, the snake's appearance today was timely.
That injection wasn't for nothing.
The little fish's panic and worry were genuine.
This was something he genuinely hoped for.
Song Jingyi arrived at the dining table and was invited by everyone to sit in the head seat.
They didn't have any other thoughts; they just thought this guy was bold, meticulous, and quick-witted.
Regardless of who was there, there's no guarantee that both of them could escape unharmed from the snake's jaws.
One of them has to be included.
But this guy just does things perfectly.
"You're really good at fighting. If it were me, I would have been done for. Want a beer?" Long Yu handed him a beer.
Song Jingyi reached out to take it.
"You can't drink!" Yan Buyu quickly stopped her. "You just had the serum injection, so you can't drink alcohol or eat spicy food."
He immediately changed his mind: "Sorry, I won't drink it."
He then picked up a glass of juice next to him and gestured to Long Yu, "Thank you."
Long Yu is a righteous and reasonable person.
Instead of feeling embarrassed, he slapped his forehead and said remorsefully, "It's my fault, I was just thinking about worshipping the hero. My sister is more thoughtful, it was right not to drink."
He and He Run quickly got up and rearranged the food on the table.
Seafood, raw food, and spicy food were kept away from Song Jingyi; instead, he was given light, palatable meals that were unlikely to go wrong.
"That's amazing," He Run exclaimed. "I saw you pushing Buyu's sister just now, but I didn't see a snake that thick."
"But where did this snake come from?" Qi Feng added rice to Zhou Yixiao's bowl. "We don't see that kind of thing much in the North."
"You escaped from the wildlife park?" Qin Nianke touched Yan Buyu's hand. "Thank goodness you're alright."
“The Beijing Wildlife Park is more than 80 kilometers away from here. If it could crawl all the way here, it would be quite something.” Zhou Yixiao looked down at his phone. “Besides, there’s no news that the zoo has lost any snakes.”
“That’s a privately owned snake,” Yan Buyu concluded. “The snake was so big and fat, and with so many people here lately, no one has said they’ve seen it. It probably just arrived today.”
Who knows, maybe it was someone's pet that was taken out for a walk and then couldn't be caught.
Shen Yanzhou and Si Jingxu have returned.
Si Jingxu, quick as a flash, snatched the seat to Yan Buyu's left.
Shen Yanzhou didn't argue with him and sat down next to him.
"We have already communicated with the relevant personnel at the Taoist temple. Fortunately, they have recently been concerned about safety issues due to the large number of people, so they have installed a lot of surveillance cameras along the way. They are currently sending people to investigate and will notify us as soon as they have any news."
"Brother, you've worked hard. The steak was good, and the dumplings were delicious too. They were vegetarian with cucumber filling, which made them especially fresh and bright. I'm sure you'll like them." Yan Buyu said to Shen Yanzhou, bypassing Si Jingxu.
Shen Yanzhou smiled gently at her, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
"And me? Which one suits my taste?" Si Jingxu asked in a low voice in her ear.
"Let me see," Yan Buyu glanced at it, "Let's have some soup first. The free-range chicken from Long Yu's manor smells delicious, and the spicy crab looks plump too. Do you want some beer?"
Song Jingyi lowered his head and took a sip of juice. It was sweet and sour, but sourness made up the majority of the flavor.
Seeing how carefully Xiaoyu takes care of the people around her, I felt a pang of sadness.
She developed the ability to read people's expressions because she was abused by Yan Qihang since childhood.
Even now, I still subconsciously try to take care of others and read their expressions.
"Brother Jingyi," Yan Buyu called out to him.
Song Jingyi looked up.
“Eat more,” she said.
Song Jingyi smiled and said, "Okay."
Encountering a venomous snake would normally be a big deal, but thanks to Song Jingyi's involvement, it became just a minor incident during the group's outing.
After eating and drinking their fill and tidying up, the group slowly made their way down the mountain.
Qin Nianke walked between Yan Buyu and Zhou Yixiao.
For the 108th time, he took out the red string he had obtained from the Temple of the Matchmaker and examined it.
"It's already developed a patina before it's even been given away," Zhou Yixiao teased her.
"I love these little surprises," Qin Nianke said happily as she carefully put the red string away. "I just bought him a bottle of perfume, I'll give it to him later."
"Did he give you anything?" Yan Buyu asked. She hadn't paid attention before, but now that she thought about it, she hadn't heard Qin Nianke mention receiving a gift.
Moreover, Nian Ke's dedication to Huo Chen.
Even if Huo Chen just bought her a pair of socks, she would put them on her hands and announce it to the whole world.
“Ah,” a hint of disappointment flashed across Qin Nianke’s face, “No, his family is not well-off, and he just started working, so he doesn’t earn much money.”
“I don’t think this is right.” Yan Buyu looked at Qin Nianke and said cautiously, “Now that you’re working, even if you’re poor, you can always afford to buy your girlfriend a rose or a silver bracelet. You should be able to afford it.”
