Huo Xiaolong ultimately couldn't avoid the tragedy of being bitten, but fortunately, in Miao territory, the priestess gave her the antidote, and she washed herself with spiritual spring water, so she was almost fine.
I just feel a little dizzy, and the finger that was bitten is a little numb.
"Mom, I feel like there are carrots in today's braised pork."
The little dumpling is now eating with his left hand, holding up a piece of potato and asking He Yi a question.
Looking at her daughter's somewhat blank expression, the beautiful woman couldn't help but laugh.
"Whatever you say it is, that's what it is, anything is fine."
The little dumpling held a potato stuck on a chopstick to Huo Shuwen's mouth.
"Give the carrot to Dad, he loves it."
The man was expressionless. He didn't like to eat carrots either, so Huo Xiaolong didn't like them either. Now you're giving him something he doesn't want to eat, right?
The eagle resignedly opened its beak and bit off the potato from the chopsticks.
"You really love your dad."
"Of course! My dad is the best dad in the world!"
Huo Shuwen couldn't help but chuckle at his daughter's sleepy appearance. He patted Huo Xiaolong's head, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and left the room. He Yi had intended to coax her to sleep early, but after being bitten, she was still restless. As a result, the little rabbit disappeared while she was making the bed.
Huo Xiaolong ran to Liu Xu to see the snake that had bitten him, fearing that his sister would kill him.
"Sis, where's the snake that bit me?"
"Here it is, your brother Cuifang said he'll make it into wine later," Liu Xu said, holding a bamboo basket.
Although Miao Cuifang complained about Huo Xiaolong's extravagance, she still felt sorry for Xiao Tuanzi. When she heard that she had seen an older child being bitten by a snake, she rushed to the brewery to buy wine.
"No, it bit me, there's no point in it dying."
"So what do you want to do?" Liu Xu asked.
At Master Miao's house, there were still many children eating meat with their rice bowls. They didn't react much when Huo Xiaolong was bitten. They would get bitten whenever they had nothing to do. Sometimes their parents would even deliberately bite them with Gu poison.
"Let Brother Cuifang refine it into a Gu, the kind of Gu that only obeys my commands."
"You're quite vengeful, kid," Liu Xu said, poking Huo Xiaolong's forehead.
"Hey sis, can you take it out and let me see it?"
Hearing the little girl's request, Liu Xu reached out and took the wriggling black snake out, holding its head so her sister could touch it. Having studied Gu poison with Miao Cuifang for so long, the woman was no longer afraid of such things. Besides, even a red python in a tree could coil around her waist; this little fry was a piece of cake.
But.
Until that man appeared.
"Willow catkins, I'm back."
Miao Cuifang walked in carrying a wine jar in one hand and said.
The beautiful woman, who had just been pressing down on the snake's head with one hand, immediately threw the snake back into the bamboo basket and said...
"You're back? Long'er said she didn't really want to make wine, and wanted you to refine it into a Gu."
Under the moonlight, a thin layer of sweat glistened on the man's chest, sometimes reflecting the light, appearing and disappearing beneath his royal blue clothes.
Liu Xu swallowed hard, looking at him with clear, bright eyes.
Master Miao couldn't stand the way his sweetheart looked at him, so he spoke up.
"Okay, then I'll refine the Gu for her. I just saw you... grab it, were you scared?"
The beauty nodded.
"A little, because I wasn't raised from a young age."
The children standing at the door with bowls of rice were shocked. Miao people are afraid of snakes?
hold head high?
"Uncle Cuifang's wife is afraid of snakes..."
“I heard you.”
Huo Xiaolong was used to it, but the children weren't, and being simple-minded, they thought what Liu Xu said was true.
Then all that could be heard was the clattering of bowls and chopsticks being set off in the yard, and then the group of children stuffed the snakes wrapped around their wrists, waists, and legs into their clothes.
The children in groups checked each other's work.
"See, can you not see my Erniu this time?"
"No way, your Erniu's tail is sticking out from your neck."
"Then help me stuff it in."
"What if it bites me if you try to put it in yourself?"
"If you bite me, I'll help you get rid of it. It's no big deal."
"No, every time it bites me, I sleep for a whole day. What if there's something delicious to eat tomorrow and I won't get to eat it?"
"How could I not leave some for you? Really."
The little dumpling left Cuifang's room obediently, then went home to talk to Cen Ang and the others about growing chili peppers, saying that this thing was like a soul.
Unlike the chili peppers from the border town, this one isn't spicy at first bite. The first impression is its aroma, followed by a gradual, stinging spiciness that makes you want to eat more after you finish.
It feels like I can't stop.
He Yi sat on the bed, took out the brush, ink, paper and inkstone she had just bought that day, and listened to her daughter's muttering.
"Brother Cuifang said there are grasslands here, and cattle can be raised on them. Beef tripe in a spicy hot pot is so delicious, the kind with lots of red oil bubbling up, hehehe~"
Huo Xiaolong's occasional silly laughter indicated that he had not fully recovered from the poisoning. Ink spots wet the paper, and the ink slowly spread from the center of the paper.
But He Yi still didn't put down her calligraphy brush; she always had extraordinary patience when it came to her children.
It seems her biological mother didn't raise her well.
He didn't even have much patience for her.
Sometimes she would blame her for not being able to compete for favor, which was why her father didn't come to see her.
The woman looked at her daughter, whose eyes were about to close, and said softly with a smile on her lips.
"If Long'er is sleepy, she can go to sleep first, and we can think about it again tomorrow."
"No, I want it now!" the little dumpling said sweetly and coquettishly.
"Alright, let's do it now. Let our Long'er speak, and Mom will write it down for you."
