Chapter 36 Snake
"Yeah! That's great, there's meat to eat, grandpa, I'm going to find eggs, and I'll pick up a lot of wild eggs."

"Go, don't run away."

"Understood, Grandpa, Nian Bao'er will look for it nearby, don't run far away." Tong An Nian walked around in the nearby grass on her short legs.

"Father, is there something wrong with my ears? Is my daughter speaking normally?" Tong Zhengyang held the cake in a daze, looking at Old Master Tong as if he didn't realize it.

"It's normal, you heard me right." Mr. Tong gnawed on the cake in his hand, looking at Tong Annian.

Tong Zhengyang was taken aback for another moment, and then, he smiled as stupidly as he could.

There's no way, when Tong Annian was seriously ill, he was almost asleep and rarely spoke. After waking up, he spoke slowly, and it sounded very strange.

Everyone in the family knew it but no one said it out loud, so they were afraid of hurting Tong An Nian and making her afraid to speak.

Unexpectedly, after entering the mountain, he could speak so smoothly.

"This is a good thing, but, Dad, I think today is very strange." While Tong Zhengjie was happy for Tong Anian, his brows were also frowned.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Tong looked up at him.

"In the past, when I went into the mountains, I always encountered some prey, but today, we have walked so deep, and we didn't encounter anything except a pheasant."

After Tong Zhengjie finished speaking, Mr. Tong frowned. It was really strange to say that. It was said that there were man-eating beasts in the mountains, but they had come here, but they still hadn't encountered them.

Could it be that the beast has gone home to sleep?

How can it be?

After searching around, Tong Anian found a nest of wild eggs. Although there were only five or six eggs, Tong Anian was very happy.

I'm afraid only Tong Annian knows that there are masters hidden here, and those prey are probably driven to other places.

After eating and drinking enough to rest for a while, Mr. Tong and the others started to continue working.

When they finished digging up all the horse chestnuts, the sun was about to set.

Except for some seedlings of Aesculus chinensis, which were left on the ground, everything else was dug out.

This is also what Tong Annian said, with these seedlings, they may grow up next year, and even if these seedlings are dug up, there will be nothing.

"Grandpa, just cut off the rhizome and take it away, the leaves on it are useless." Tong Anian looked at the seven leaves and one branch of flowers one by one.

"Oh, this is easy to handle." Mr. Tong looked at Tong Zhengyang and the others. Without Mr. Tong's words, the two of them got busy quickly.

The three of them packed the packed Aesculus aesculus and put them in the baskets. The two baskets were filled to the brim. Looking at the two full baskets, they felt a sense of accomplishment.

Mr. Tong asked Tong Zhengjie and Tong Zhengyang to cover some grass on it, so that people could not see what was inside.

The remaining one contained pheasant eggs and pheasants, which was carried by Mr. Tong on his back.

Tong Zhengjie and Tong Zhengyang each carried a basket of seven leaves and one flower, and were about to go back.

"Master, don't move!"

"Nian Baoer, don't move!"

Ling and Tong Zhengjie's voices sounded at the same time, causing Tong Annian to stand there motionless in fright.

"Zero, what's wrong?"

"Master, don't move, there is a snake behind you." Zero's mechanical voice was filled with vigilance.

"Nian Baoer, be good, don't move, don't turn your head, don't be afraid, you'll be fine." Tong Zhengjie carefully walked towards Tong An Nian with a bow and arrow, while comforting her.

Tong Annian stood there quietly, she could see the horror and cold sweat on the faces of Mr. Tong and the others.

Pulling the bow and drawing the string, with a sound of 'swish', the arrow in Tong Zhengjie's hand shot out.

Before Tong Anian could react, she was carried by Tong Zhengjie and quickly left the place.
