Fan Xiaohua was overjoyed to see that Yun Xiaoxiao hadn't noticed her and was even walking inside.
Just like a lottery winner, it's a genuine joy.
Yuan Min also smelled the blood, but it was faint, almost imperceptible, which she found strange.
When she came to Yun Xiaoxiao's side, the smell of blood became even stronger.
She couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxiao, are you hurt?"
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, why do you ask that?"
Yuan Min sniffed and asked again, "Are you on your period?"
Yun Xiaoxiao was taken aback. She sensed it for a moment, but found nothing amiss, so she shook her head.
Yuan Min asked in surprise, "How strange, why do I keep smelling blood?"
"Can you smell it too?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked.
Just as Yuan Min was about to say something, a woman exclaimed, "There's a snake! A huge snake!"
Everyone looked ahead in horror.
A snake, as thick as a baby's wrist and patterned, was raising its head and looking at them.
Even though the women live in the mountains, they are not afraid of snakes.
But seeing such a big snake still made me a little scared.
The flower snake wanted to attack them, but there were too many of them.
Realizing it was no match for its opponent, it paused for a moment before swimming away.
No one wanted to linger any longer, and Aunt Chang called out:
"That's about enough for today, let's go back."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
A woman was very close to Yun Xiaoxiao. She suddenly leaned closer and sniffed at Yun Xiaoxiao.
This left Yun Xiaoxiao completely bewildered: "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Do I smell bad?
The woman then scolded, "Xiaoxiao, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but..."
If you get sick, stay home and don't come up the mountain.
Wild animals in the mountains cannot tolerate the smell of blood.
It would be bad if something went wrong.
Yun Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "Auntie, can you smell blood too?"
"I thought it was you guys who didn't come because my friend didn't."
The aunt looked unhappy: "We women in the mountains all know that you can't go into the mountains when you're on your period."
That would attract wild animals.
Yun Xiaoxiao said very sincerely, "I really didn't."
Minmin asked me that too.
Yuan Min chimed in, "Auntie, everything the little boy said is true."
Many women found this suspicious and urged each other to leave.
Just then, the woman who had just been scolding Yun Xiaoxiao reached into Yun Xiaoxiao's pocket and pulled out a bloodstained handkerchief.
Everyone remained calm upon seeing the handkerchief.
The woman looked at Yun Xiaoxiao and was about to speak.
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly explained, "This handkerchief is not mine."
There's a cloud on every handkerchief I wear; my mother embroidered it for me.
"I said the cloud represents my surname."
A tall, thin woman stepped forward to testify: "What she said is true."
"I taught Stone's mother how to embroider those clouds."
The woman shook the handkerchief and asked, "Whose handkerchief is this?"
How did it end up on you?
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head blankly.
Suddenly, Aunt Chang snatched the handkerchief: "This handkerchief looks so familiar. Where have I seen it before?"
When Fan Xiaohua, who was not far away, saw that they had discovered the handkerchief, she quickly backed away.
Finally, the tall, thin woman said, "Let's not talk here anymore, let's go quickly."
Everyone quickly called out and left.
Just then, a black bear suddenly darted out.
The women screamed in fright and ran away.
It's strange that Yun Xiaoxiao was so unlucky.
Aunt Chang threw off the handkerchief as she ran.
As luck would have it, the handkerchief landed right on Yun Xiaoxiao.
Before Yun Xiaoxiao could throw away the handkerchief, the black bear was right in front of her.
Startled, she slapped the cloth bag in her hand onto the black bear's head.
The black bear was enraged and slapped Yun Xiaoxiao with its paw.
Yun Xiaoxiao hugged a big tree and started circling around the black bear.
The black bear couldn't do anything to her for the time being.
Yun Xiaoxiao had no way to extricate herself.
Yuan Min screamed and tried to rush forward to help, but didn't know where to start.
The other women were also quite frightened.
Some have already run back to get help.
Fan Xiaohua stood there with a gloating expression.
In my heart, I kept shouting, "Kill her! Kill her!"
The black bear initially came because it smelled blood.
Later, Yun Xiaoxiao slapped him in the face with a cloth bag.
Immediately, the petty black bear began to relentlessly pursue Yun Xiaoxiao.
On the contrary, the anxious women were quite safe.
As Yun Xiaoxiao ran, she racked her brains: How could she shake off the black bear?
It's impossible to kill a black bear.
Not to mention her short stature, she didn't even have a single weapon in her hand.
The dagger that Yuan's father gave her was left in the tent; she didn't carry it with her.
If she had known she was going to encounter a black bear, she would have kept the dagger close to her body.
The question kept echoing in my mind: What should I do? What should I do?
This black bear is so big, she wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth.
Even a grown man probably couldn't kill a black bear weighing several hundred pounds with his bare hands.
After finishing his work, Yuan Shitou thought about going to find Xiaoxiao.
Before they could find the person, they encountered a woman coming out of there.
They ran outside in a panic, and when they saw Yuan Shitou, they shouted, "Shitou, quick, quick, go save Xiaoxiao!"
Yuan Shitou didn't have time to ask any more questions and ran towards where they had come from.
Fan Xiaohua, who was in a good mood, suddenly saw Yuan Shitou rush in, and immediately felt terrible.
He rolled his eyes, rushed forward quickly, and grabbed Yuan Shitou's hand:
"Brother Stone, don't go up there, there's a big black bear there. It will eat you."
Yuan Shitou pushed him away, saying, "Get out of the way, I need to save Xiaoxiao."
How could Fan Xiaohua let him go?
I wish I could delay a little longer so that the black bear could kill Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yuan Shitou was extremely anxious.
He shoved Fan Xiaohua aside and rushed over.
Yuan Min shouted, "Brother Shi Tou, please save Xiao Xiao!"
"Please save Xiaoxiao!"
Yuan Shitou kicked the black bear in the buttocks.
Black Bear immediately abandoned Yun Xiaoxiao and turned to chase after Yuan Shitou.
Yuan Shitou originally saw it chasing Xiao Xiao and was going to kick its leg, but he didn't expect to kick its butt.
This kick had absolutely no effect on the thick-skinned black bear.
Yuan Shitou immediately shoved a dagger into Yun Xiaoxiao's hand and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, hurry up and climb the tree!"
Yun Xiaoxiao was completely exhausted; her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she couldn't drag herself along.
Knowing her situation was dire, she listened to Yuan Shitou and gritted her teeth to climb the tree.
While dealing with the black bear, Yuan Shitou tried to figure out how to kill it.
He still had a dagger in his hand; the one from before belonged to Yun Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that she had put it in the tent, she was afraid that someone else would take it away.
So he carried it with him.
Unexpectedly, it worked.
Yuan Shitou was not only tall and strong, but also quite powerful.
While dealing with the black bear, he would occasionally stab it with a dagger.
Although it didn't hurt the black bear, it still infuriated it.
Huffing and puffing, he vowed to devour the person in front of him until not a single crumb was left.
But the person in front of it was too cunning; it couldn't catch him.
