Chapter 107: Unexpected Events
Qin Xiaoxiao was also wondering what would happen to Old Zhang and his eldest daughter-in-law.
Qin Ye spoke slowly and casually, but Qin Xiaoxiao listened with trepidation.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver.
Why bother? Is it worth torturing yourself to that extent for a moment of pleasure?
Qin Ye noticed that Qin Xiaoxiao shivered and asked with concern, "Are you cold? Put your clothes on."
Qin Ye took off his shirt and draped it over Qin Xiaoxiao's shoulders. Wearing a military green tank top, he walked in front of Qin Xiaoxiao, noticeably speeding up his pace.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Ye with a complicated expression.
Her adoptive brother is incredibly kind to her; despite her antics, he still cares for her a lot and doesn't complain at all.
Qin Xiaoxiao began to reflect: Was what she did really the right thing?
While it's important to hide your true abilities to avoid arousing suspicion, is it really worth the price of hurting your loved ones' feelings?
But……
She really doesn't want to work; she just wants to lie down and do nothing.
Imagine a poor guy in a small town who earns 2,000 yuan a month suddenly has 20 million yuan. What would he do?
What others might not know is that Qin Xiaoxiao definitely deposits her money in the bank to earn interest.
If you work yourself to the bone and end up looking like a beggar on the street, and you have to choose between eating pickled vegetables and corn porridge every day and having crayfish, abalone, sea cucumber, and bird's nest every day, anyone would choose the latter.
Her current situation is like that of a poor person suddenly becoming rich.
In an era where ten yuan could buy a thousand yuan later, twenty thousand yuan would be twenty million. Why would someone hoard such enormous wealth and not spend it, instead toiling away every day?
Sigh! Oh well, she'll pay for the bride price when my older brother gets married.
Let alone thirty-six legs or forty-eight legs, she even contributed three turns and a sound. She could only make up for it by contributing something more.
Of course, sincerity is essential; he will always be her brother.
Qin Ye stood below Qin Xiaoxiao, helplessly glaring at her as she stood still. He couldn't help but slap her.
The slap landed on Qin Xiaoxiao's arm, and she immediately cried out in pain.
"Ouch, bro, what are you doing?"
"What do you think? Why aren't you walking properly? Aren't you afraid of falling?"
Qin Ye glared at Qin Xiaoxiao and walked away.
Qin Xiaoxiao followed behind Qin Ye, pouting and secretly complaining.
She saved on the bride price she paid; someone like her brother will never be able to get married in his lifetime.
Except for the female lead who harbors ulterior motives and clings to her brother.
Qin Xiaoxiao kept her head down, lost in thought, and didn't notice the big trees on both sides of the path. After Qin Ye passed by, a green venomous snake snaked from behind a big tree to a branch in front of it, its long tail hanging down to the branch.
Suddenly a wisp of green fell down, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't notice. She only felt that the tree branch in front of her was blocking her way, so she reached out and pushed it aside.
Her action startled the green snake, which was trying to rest. The snake flicked its tongue, assuming an attack stance.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't notice any of this until she took a couple more steps and realized something was wrong; the branches she had just been on were too soft and slippery.
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately stopped and looked up, just in time to see the green snake spitting its tongue as it charged towards her.
"ah!"
Qin Xiaoxiao screamed in fright and hurriedly retreated. Just as Qingyun was about to bite her, she retreated to a safe distance and then turned and ran.
Qin Ye turned around when he heard Qin Xiaoxiao's cry and saw Qingyun attacking Qin Xiaoxiao with a speed as fast as a blue lightning bolt.
It was too late to save her. Qin Xiaoxiao was too far away, and the green snake was too close. Qin Ye could only run towards Qin Xiaoxiao, trying to rescue her as soon as the green snake bit her, so as to save her life.
Qin Ye watched helplessly as Qin Xiaoxiao retreated to safety, and then watched as the unwilling Green Snake chased after her. Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief but was powerless to stop it, so he could only speed up and chase after her again.
Qin Xiaoxiao dared not look back, fearing that if she slowed down even a little, she would be bitten by the venomous snake. She also dared not run in a straight line, much less into the grass. She deliberately chose to run in areas with lots of loose stones, hoping to slow down the snake and give herself more time to escape.
She wanted to turn around and fight the venomous snake, but Qin Ye was still behind her.
She could hide in a spatial dimension, but would she dare? No.
She did have some realgar powder in her storage space; sprinkling it out could save lives, but could she take it out? No.
She also has daggers and machetes in her spatial storage; one strike would be enough to kill a poisonous snake. Can she take them? No, she can't.
How could she fight a poisonous snake with her bare hands? She couldn't win; her only option was to run.
Besides, she's a delicate young girl. Her first instinct upon seeing a poisonous snake would be to run away. Why would she fight? Does she even have the ability to fight?
The fact that she didn't faint and get bitten by a venomous snake shows how strong her mental fortitude is!
The venomous snake was fast, but Qin Ye was not slow either. From the moment Qin Xiaoxiao screamed to the moment she ran away, it was only a dozen seconds. Qin Ye caught up with the venomous snake and slashed at it with his wood-chopping knife.
The venomous snake was severed in two at its seven-inch mark, and its body fell to the ground, but its head thrashed about on the gravel road for several seconds before finally coming to a complete stop.
Qin Ye stood guard to the side, and only after seeing that the poisonous snake was completely dead did he go to call Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Little one, don't run away, the snake is dead."
Qin Xiaoxiao stopped when she heard Qin Ye's shout and looked back. A dozen meters away, Qin Ye was standing next to the two pieces of the green snake and was kicking it with his foot. When she saw that the green snake was no longer moving, Qin Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close!
As soon as Qin Xiaoxiao relaxed, her body went limp, and she took two steps back, wanting to lean against a big tree to rest for a while.
Her stepping back was disastrous. She hadn't noticed that there was a cliff behind the tree. As she leaned against the tree, Qin Xiaoxiao felt her body go limp and instead of leaning against it, she kept leaning backward.
Qin Xiaoxiao's heart tightened, and she hurriedly scratched at both sides, trying to grab onto the weeds to stop herself from falling.
She forgot that it had just rained, and the weeds were covered in water droplets, making the blades slippery and impossible to grip.
Qin Ye noticed that something was wrong when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao scratching at herself. Looking behind her, he saw that her body was not quite touching the tree. If she leaned back like that, she definitely wouldn't be able to get onto the tree. Behind her was a cliff, which, although not high, would definitely cause injury if she fell.
Qin Ye disregarded everything else and ran towards Qin Xiaoxiao. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao was about to fall, Qin Ye pushed off with his thigh and leaped forward, pouncing on Qin Xiaoxiao.
