"I kill you!"
Who would have thought that once the young man was free, he took a few breaths of fresh air, drew his sword, and while Shu Jiaying was caught off guard, he cut off the snake's head with one blow.
Shu Jiaying was also splashed with blood from the snake's body.
Shu Jiaying, furious, asked the young man, "You can kill the snake, but could you please let me know first?"
The young man looked at Shu Jiaying's bloody clothes with indifference, a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth, and threw ten copper coins on the ground.
"Your clothes are so tattered. I'd like to give you ten cents to buy a new set, and there's still some left. No need to thank me. I... I never like to owe anyone a favor."
After saying this, the boy left, but Shu Jiaying did not pick up the copper coins on the ground.
Standing there, Shu Jiaying revealed a faint smile, and then she solemnly bowed three times to the snake's corpse.
Puff puff puff...
Not far away, a rustling sound reached Shu Jiaying's ears.
Pretending not to hear the voice, Shu Jiaying dug a hole in a clearing next to the grass. She placed the snake's body and the copper coins on the ground in the hole, muttering to herself, "Snake Immortal, oh Snake Immortal, it's not easy for you to grow up this big. But don't look at me covered in your blood, it wasn't me who killed you! As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. If your accomplices or relatives want to avenge you, don't look for me. Look for... the person who killed you. If you can't find him, those copper coins have that person's scent on them. Amitabha, great compassion..."
After quickly filling the pit with soil, Shu Jiaying hurriedly put the pickaxe she used to dig medicine into her backpack, and then she walked quickly towards the mountain road.
But she didn't really leave.
After walking behind a big tree, Shu Jiaying hid secretly.
At this time, the young man who had already walked away came back. With a strange look on his face, he walked to the mound where the snake was buried.
After looking around for a while and making sure there was no one around, the boy clasped his hands together and bowed to the snake's grave awkwardly.
"Snake...Snake Immortal, don't believe what that country girl says. Actually...actually, I didn't mean to kill you. I...I just wanted to protect myself. And...I can't let those ten copper coins be buried with you. Sorry."
After he finished speaking, the young man dug up the soil with his hands and quickly picked up his copper coins. Then he buried the soil randomly and ran away from the mountains.
After the boy had been gone for nearly five minutes, Shu Jiaying finally walked out from behind the tree with a calm expression.
She snorted coldly with a wicked smile on her face, swinging a piece of wild grass in her hand.
"Bah...you're still a young master. If you have the guts, just draw a Adam's apple and seal your ear holes. Your kindness is truly unrewarded. I should have let the snake kill you earlier!"
Throwing away the weeds, Shu Jiaying took out a pickaxe from her backpack. She knew the places where big snakes were usually found, which meant that the snake's nest was likely nearby.
According to common sense, snakes like to linger around valuables, but in this deep mountain, Shu Jiaying didn't dare to hope to find any gold, silver or jewelry. However, if she could find some rare medicinal herbs in the snake's nest, she would probably wake up laughing in her sleep.
After carefully searching the entire lawn, Shu Jiaying still found nothing. She felt a little disappointed and was about to leave.
“Ga ga… ga ga ga…”
There was a strange bird sound in the sky.
