The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 148 Encountering a Snake
The mountain road was not easy to walk, and there were many potholes along the way. Bai Meixi carried a hoe on her shoulder and walked bumpily towards the road down the mountain.The severe cold outside the winter style has penetrated into the body through the thick cotton jacket.Because she had been working hard just now and had sweated a little, Bai Meixi couldn't help but shiver when the wind blew.

There is no one on the barren mountain, giving people a very desolate feeling.

Bai Meixi accidentally heard the rustling of dry branches, and thought to herself that no wild beasts were coming around!Feeling wary in his heart, he stopped and looked around.Now she was a little on tenterhooks, thinking to herself that if there really was a beast, she would have to enter her own space as quickly as possible to escape.

On the barren mountains in winter, there are pieces of dry branches everywhere, without a trace of green.In this uniform color, Bai Meixi's eyes instantly locked on a small emerald green snake entwined on a dead branch.

The green color looks so bright in this dry color, and it raises its neck vigilantly and spits out a long letter.

snake!
Bai Meixi was shocked, this was a green snake with bamboo leaves.Fortunately, I used to like watching the animal world and have a certain understanding of snakes. Green bamboo snakes are very aggressive and poisonous.This kind of snake is usually active on rainy days, but it can sometimes be seen in the evening on sunny days.

And now it was evening, and Bai Meixi had accidentally encountered this kind of snake. What was the chance?

What makes her even more strange is that it is the cold winter, and snakes should be in a state of hibernation, but why does such a green bamboo suddenly appear in this barren mountain?

While Bai Meixi was thinking about it, the green bamboo leaf came down from the dead branch at some point and wandered to the foot of Baimeixi.

Seeing that she was about to be attacked by this little snake, Bai Meixi took a step back without having time to think, raised the hoe in her hand, and hit the snake's body.

It didn't matter, this hit was really accurate. Suddenly, a pool of bright red blood splattered on the emerald green snake body, and the place where she hit it with the hoe was already torn to pieces. Bai Meixi sighed that she really used a lot of strength.

Just as Bai Meixi was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly thought that the snake was already dead and it would be a waste to leave it here. It would be better to take it back and make soup to drink, which would also add some meatiness to the family!
With this thought in mind, Bai Meixi picked up the snake, turned around and was about to leave, when she saw a little boy suddenly appear in front of her.

This little boy looked to be about eight or nine years old. He was wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket and trousers. He was dirty all over, with some gray marks on his cheeks, and his hair was very disheveled.He just stood in front of Bai Meixi, looking at Bai Meixi with his big innocent eyes.

Bai Meixi was suddenly startled by the sudden appearance of this child, and now he was staring at her with such eyes, especially in this deep mountain forest, Bai Meixi felt a little scared.

Bai Meixi looked around and saw that there was no one in the mountain, and the child seemed to have no parents accompanying him.Bai Meixi was about to ask him, it was almost dark, what were you doing up the mountain alone?But the child suddenly opened his mouth and started crying.

Bai Meixi was a little panicked when she saw that the child was startled, appeared suddenly, and started crying suddenly.She quickly stepped forward and coaxed the child: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Are you lost?"

The little boy didn't reply, he just kept crying. He rubbed his eyes hard with his dirty hands, slowly raised his head and pointed at the green bamboo leaf in Bai Meixi's hand.Bai Meixi was confused and said to the little boy, "What? Did it scare you?"

As Bai Meixi spoke, she hid the bamboo leaf behind her back. In her heart, children were generally afraid of this kind of mollusk.In fact, she didn't know where her courage came from. She had been immune to snakes since she was a child and would not be afraid.

"Okay, okay, I hid it so you can't see it. Stop crying!" Bai Meixi coaxed to the child.

Unexpectedly, the little boy cried even harder, out of breath: "I raised it, this is my snake, it's my little green."

Bai Meixi felt a little distressed when she saw the little boy wailing.Bai Meixi took the snake back from behind her. Looking at the emerald green snake with some bright red blood stains, Bai Meixi smiled awkwardly: "Ah! It turns out you raised it!" It has a name! It’s called Xiaolu!”

"You beat my little green to death! Wuwuwu..." The little boy kept sobbing, and while wiping his tears with dirty hands, he raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Meixi.

Bai Meixi paused in her heart, always feeling that there seemed to be something hidden in this child's eyes.But now he was crying so hard that Bai Meixi couldn't bear it.She quickly took out two candies from her pocket, put them into the little boy's hands, leaned down, looked at him and comforted:

"I'm sorry! I didn't know this snake had an owner. I thought it was going to attack me. It was self-defense! Can I give you some candy? Stop crying."

The little boy's crying suddenly stopped, and he just stood there, with a trace of tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, streaking across his dirty cheeks, leaving a mark.He looked at the candy in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was inappropriate for his age.

Bai Meixi looked at the little boy and comforted him: "Don't raise snakes in the future. Snakes are dangerous animals, and this green bamboo leaf is poisonous. Do you understand?"

The little boy nodded heavily and pointed at the snake in Bai Meixi's hand.Bai Meixi understood and quickly handed the snake into the little boy's hand.

The little boy took the snake and said with a smile: "Little Green, let's go home." Then he looked up at Bai Meixi, then jumped up and down the mountain.

Bai Meixi looked at the little boy's leaving figure, always feeling that his eyes looked a little complicated.For children aged eight or nine, childhood should be the most beautiful, the most innocent and simple.But this little boy always gives people an indescribable feeling. What is it...cunning!
Yes!It seems that this is the only word that Bai Meixi can think of to describe this little boy.He was so sad when he cried, as if he had lost the whole world, but two candies could make his crying stop suddenly, and he could still jump away like this.

Bai Meixi was thinking about it, wondering what this child had been through.Why!No matter what he went through, Bai Meixi couldn't care less anyway, so he put the hoe on his shoulder. It was a pity that he didn't have to drink the snake soup tonight.
