After thinking about this, Yan Qing smiled. She thought this idea was a little cute.
She stretched and decided to take a rest.
After turning over the quilt, she was suddenly stunned because there was a snake on the bed, and the snake was spitting out its tongue at her.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she was frightened and quickly stepped back, then shouted loudly, "Why is there a snake?"
She called out several times, but the servants didn't come.
She wanted to escape from the room quickly, but for some reason, her legs became weak and she finally fell to the ground.
And the snake actually crawled towards her.
Yan Qing looked at the scene in front of her with great horror. How could she have imagined that she would encounter such a thing while traveling abroad.
She shouted loudly, "Someone come quickly."
But the servants remained indifferent.
Yan Qing remembered Huo Beiting's words, he said that no matter what the problem was, she could ask the housekeeper for help, so she called out, "Sophia."
After shouting for several minutes, Sophia finally came over calmly. She walked to the door and asked, "Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Yan Qing was so frightened that she whispered, "There's a snake."
But Sophia seemed not to hear it. She thought Yan Qing didn't answer, so she turned and left.
Yan Qing shouted a few more times, but no one came.
She thought that she was too weak and her voice was too soft, so the servants didn't hear it.
The snake did not continue to crawl forward, but confronted Yan Qing on the ground.
Yan Qing was very scared before, but as time passed, she gradually became less scared.
She got back to her feet, but she wasn't going to deal with it herself because she didn't know how.
She had originally planned to ask the servants to come and help, but after thinking about it, another idea came to her mind. She didn't know why she suddenly had this idea, but at that moment she decided to ask another person for help.
She called her family doctor and asked him to come over immediately.
A few minutes later, the family doctor came running over. He rushed into Yan Qing's room and saw the snake at once.
He comforted Yan Qing and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it."
After saying that, he walked over.
He reached out his hands, caught the snake easily, and put it into a bag.
He turned to Yan Qing and said calmly, "It's okay. This snake is not poisonous, and this bag is very strong. The snake won't escape from it."
This meant it was just a false alarm, and Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
But for some reason she still felt a lingering fear. She looked at the bag and said timidly, "Are you sure? Did you see it right? But the snake's color is very bright. I think it's scary."
The family doctor smiled and said, "You are so timid. This kind of snake is very common in our area. Maybe you are afraid because you are a foreigner."
Yan Qing shrugged. She still didn't dare to believe what he said, but now she had no one else to trust except him.
She asked again to confirm, "Is this kind of snake common? Do you often encounter it?"
"Yes, I encountered this many times when I was a child. I often played on our lawn and had similar experiences."
Seeing that Yan Qing was still a little scared, he continued, "It's really not poisonous. You can look up information online. This kind of snake just looks a little scary."
"We sometimes use these snakes to scare people on Halloween."
After hearing this, Yan Qing was a little bit unbelievable. Who would do such a wicked thing?
The doctor laughed. "To be honest, I've done this before, so don't worry."
After hearing what he said, Yan Qing suddenly relaxed. "It seems that I am overthinking it. However, please let this snake go."
She really didn't want to see this snake again in her life.
At this moment, Yan Qing had completely relaxed. She was no longer afraid of snakes, so she said to her family doctor, "Okay, I understand. This snake is not poisonous and is not aggressive towards us."
After hearing what she said, the family doctor finally relaxed. He laughed a few times and said, "That's right. This snake is actually not harmful at all. You don't have to be afraid. Since you are not afraid anymore, I will take the snake away."
Yan Qing nodded and the family doctor left with the snake.
Yan Qing sat alone in the room. She calmed down for a while. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. A snake would not appear in her room for no reason. So she felt that there must be someone behind this.
She decided not to compromise this time. When Huo Beiting came back, she would tell him about this matter, then find out the truth and deal with it together with the last staircase incident.
She quickly called Huo Beiting and asked him when he would be back, but she did not mention the snake on the phone.
Huo Beiting was a little busy on the other end of the phone. The affairs of this branch company were much more complicated than he had imagined, so he estimated that it would take a longer time before he could go back.
Yan Qing hung up the phone without saying anything else.
She stared out the window in a daze and suddenly felt extremely bored. She felt that she could not wait any longer. She really wanted to know the answer, so she decided to go over and ask.
Because she already had someone she was suspicious of, she felt that it was Sophia who did it, and that it was Sophia who did it the previous time as well.
Yan Qing walked to the servant's room and knocked on the door. She looked inside and Sophia was not there.
After seeing this, she frowned. Why wasn't she here when she was looking for someone? Didn't she usually rest here?
"Where did she go? Why isn't she here?" she said angrily. If she found Sophia this time, she would definitely ask her clearly.
The servant next to her saw that she was very anxious. She rolled her eyes, thought about what Sophia had taught her before, and said, "Are you really looking for her? Actually, she just finished her work and went to the utility room. She will be back after cleaning up there for a while."
The purpose of her saying this was just to lure Yan Qing to the utility room, but she couldn't guarantee 100% success.
If Yan Qing doesn't go, then we will fail.
Yan Qing still wanted to see Sophia, and she didn't want to wait any longer, so she said, "Okay, I'll come find you right away." After that, she walked towards the miscellaneous street.
The door to the utility room was not locked but half open.
