Chapter 35: Encountering a Snake



The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the vegetable fields are green.

I originally thought that I could finally sell it for money.

Every day, they would bundle the vegetables before dawn and take them to the market as soon as Ma Ye’s cart arrived.

A cart of vegetables can be sold for more than 50 cents. It is considered lucky if you can sell a cart in a day. Most of the time, you will sell half and have the other half left.

The rest can only be made into dried vegetables and pickles.

Later, Song Yuehua simply brought fresh and dried vegetables to the market together, and the dried vegetables were more popular.

New vegetables are on the market and their prices are getting lower day by day. Excluding the cost of the ox cart, there is hardly any profit, not to mention the labor costs.

In that case, Song Yuehua simply made them all into dried vegetables and sold them at the market.

At the beginning, there were a lot of customers. Later, nearby vendors followed suit and started selling dried vegetables.

The price of dried vegetables fluctuated dramatically among the vendors.

Song Yuehua didn't want to get involved in this vicious competition, so from the next day, she never went to the market to set up a stall again.

After Granny Wang learned about this, she looked at the garden full of vegetables and said worriedly, "There are still so many vegetables, what should I do!"

"It's okay!" Song Yuehua said while picking vegetables.

"Nowadays, every household has enough vegetables. Instead of selling them at a low price now, it is better to dry them in the sun and pickle them, and then sell them when there are no more vegetables. You can always earn back your wages."

Granny Wang nodded. This was the only solution. She then asked, "Then do you want to plant vegetables next time?"

Song Yuehua said, "Grow beans and take care of the land."

Thanks to the efforts of Song Yuehua, Grandma Wang, and several children in the family, the two acres of land were uprooted in two days, and it took a few more days to process all the vegetables.

Song Yuehua took out the copper coins she had earned from selling vegetables during this period and counted them, a total of 680 coins.

Selling vegetables can't be a livelihood after all.

The two little kids are growing bigger day by day, and they are not as well-behaved as before. When the eldest baby wakes up, he just eats and crawls around everywhere. He almost fell off the kang before.

Song Yuehua simply laid a straw mat on the ground, then covered it with a thick cotton mattress, and let him crawl around.

Although it didn't fall anywhere, it was still inevitably bumped into.

Although Xiaobao is not very active, she is not easy to take care of either. She will cry loudly when she is unhappy. Once she starts crying, it is very difficult to comfort her and I have to carry her around.

If it weren't for Granny Wang and Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu would definitely not be able to take care of it by herself.

After planting the beans, there is not much work to do in the fields.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Song Yuehua went to the county town.

I ordered a pair of grappling hooks and a dagger from the blacksmith shop, then went to the grocery store to buy a bundle of hemp ropes, and asked for two packets of snake and insect repellent powder from the pharmacy.

In the next few days, Song Yuehua studied the rising smoke outside the house every day.

Every time I was smoked to the point of tears, after a few days of tossing and turning, I finally managed to burn out a thick, straight, black smoke.

After the items from the blacksmith shop were delivered, Song Yuehua called everyone in her family together, then lit a cigarette in the yard and said, "After entering the mountains, I will light a cigarette every morning when the sun rises to report safety. Before I come back, you guys should take good care of the house."

"Master, I..." Before Xie Wenwu could finish his words, he was interrupted again.

Song Yuehua patted Xie Wenwu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Wenwu, when I'm not here, I rely on you to protect this family. Only with you can I feel at ease!"

"Master!" Xie Wenwu was deeply moved, "Don't worry, as long as we are at home, home..."

Several people rushed over and covered Xie Wenwu's mouth.

Xiaoyu pursed her lips, looking unhappy. She knew she couldn't stop her elder sister, nor could she help. All she could do was not to make things worse.

"Xiaoyu," Song Yuehua said softly, "Sister will come back safely. Wait for me at home, okay?"

Xiaoyu forced out a smile and said, "Okay!"

The next morning.

Song Yuehua put the bow and arrow on her back. Compared to when she first arrived, she had grown a lot taller, so carrying the bow didn't look so awkward anymore.

She packed what she needed and just as she was about to go out, she suddenly thought of something.

The first time I went into the mountains, I thought I was going to be killed. The second time I went into the mountains, I almost got killed.

Regardless of whether it was feudal superstition or not, Song Yuehua fell down towards the direction of the mountain and kowtowed three times.

He kept muttering, "May all the gods and Buddhas bless me, may I be safe and prosperous, and may I live a long and healthy life..."

As spring comes and flowers bloom, animals also become active. Before entering the deep areas, Song Yuehua shot and killed two pheasants.

All things are difficult at the beginning, and this is a good start.

Just when Song Yuehua thought that things were going well, suddenly, a pair of green eyes not far away met her gaze.

A giant white snake, more than ten meters long, was winding in the dense jungle. Its snow-white scales looked like a jade armor under the sunlight.

The distance to the white snake was not close. Although I was sure I could hit it, I was not sure I could kill it with one shot.

Song Yuehua put down the two pheasants and retreated while begging for mercy, "Great Immortal, I didn't mean to intrude into your territory. I'm sorry for the offense. Please forgive me. I'll leave now."

The white snake didn't move, and I don't know if it understood or not.

After retreating for a distance, Song Yuehua turned around and ran wildly, scaring the small animals along the way.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Song Yuehua finally stopped to catch her breath.

It turned out that I had knocked on this head in vain!

We stopped to drink some water and continued walking north. After we crossed two hills, it was getting dark.

I don't know where we are.

Song Yuehua took out the pancake and ate it while thinking, such a big white snake is rare in ancient and modern times, I'm afraid it has become a spirit, fortunately I didn't provoke it.

After eating the biscuits, I found a tree, climbed up, tied myself up, and went to sleep.
