Chapter 17 Strange Fruit
  Shen Jia did not dare to step forward to pick the fruit rashly. The master once said that where there are spiritual fruits, there must be a big snake guarding them.

She looked around carefully, not knowing what to look for, and was startled when she saw that there was indeed a large green snake with a triangular head and a thicker than her legs coiled on the tree in the middle.

The big snake had already discovered Shen Jia who had broken into its territory, and began to raise its head, spitting out snake letters and preparing to attack.

Shen Jia pretended not to see the big snake, held the hatchet tightly in his hand, and slowly approached the spiritual fruit tree.

Just when Shen Jia was still two feet away from the spiritual fruit tree, the big snake jumped up from the tree and planned to attack Shen Jia. Shen Jia nimbly dodged it, then spun on his toes, and pointed the hatchet in his right hand accurately. Cut off seven inches of the snake.

This snake was so thick that even though Shen Jia had sharpened the hatchet before going out, he could not cut it off with one knife. The snake's tail still rolled over flexibly, trying to wrap around Shen Jia.

Shen Jia didn't give it this chance, dragging it to the edge of the peak, and then threw it down the mountain with all its strength, and a 'pop' echoed throughout the valley.

Shen Jia was exhausted again, staggered to the tree, and then reached out to pick a fruit.

The fruit exuded a mouth-watering fragrance, and Shen Jia swallowed instinctively.

She didn't care whether it was clean or not, so she opened her mouth wide and started to nibble. She found that the pulp inside was also the same color, pink, smooth and delicate, juicy and sweet.

"Crack, click, click" Shen Jia gnawed happily. He finished one fruit in a few times. Feeling that he was not satisfied yet, he picked another fruit and ate it before showing a satisfied smile.

Soon, Shen Jia felt a stream of true energy flowing through his limbs, and Shen Jia hurriedly sat down to adjust his breathing.

After half an hour, Shen Jia slowly opened her eyes and jumped up. She was pleasantly surprised to find that her internal strength was almost the same as in her previous life.

Shen Jia was in a particularly good mood, humming a tune and picking the remaining fruits.

There were three trees, only the one in the middle had four, and the other two trees both had three. Shen Jia took them all away without missing a single one.

It was dusk, the sun was slowly setting in the west, and the afterglow was dancing in the sky. Shen Jia used Qinggong to tap his toes among the tall ancient trees, quickly passing through the jungles, mountain streams, and deep poisonous fog forests, and finally ended up at the place closest to his home. The mountain just slowed down.

The color of the sky gradually changed from orange to light blue. Shen Jia hurried home. Unexpectedly, he met Wang again when he was approaching the foot of the mountain.

Ms. Wang was struggling to carry a load of firewood and walked home step by step.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she was so tired that she could only put down the firewood and sit on a stone by the roadside, breathing heavily.

Ms. Wang is thinner than before, and there are even a few visible bruises on her face. This shows how miserable she has been during these days. I guess those scumbags in the Li family are taking it out on her.

When Wang saw Shen Jia coming down the mountain, a big smile appeared on her face: "Miss Shen, you are so late."

Shen Jia couldn't bear to look directly at the smile on her face. She was too thin and her smile was a bit scary.

"Well, it's so late, why are you still here? There are poisonous snakes everywhere at night, aren't you afraid of being bitten by them? If they bite you, you won't have the good luck of your daughter to meet me." Shen Jialiang Liang said.

"I have brought the snake medicine you gave to my eldest sister last time." Wang said in a low voice.

"Even if you have snake medicine, it will be in vain if you don't drain the poisonous blood in time. Don't stay so late in the mountains in the future. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, your daughters will be tortured by the Li family even more." After Shen Jia finished speaking, he passed her and walked forward.

"Miss Shen, wait a minute, you have to be careful during this period. My sister-in-law came back from Fucheng yesterday, and today Li Sanlang has gone to the county to find her, probably to discuss countermeasures." Wang stopped Shen Jia and whispered.

"Okay, I understand, thank you for the reminder." Shen Jia narrowed her eyes slightly, planning to explore the backyard of Li's house or the county government tonight.

Shen Jia saw Shen Zhuoyun and his family standing at the gate from a distance, looking frequently into the mountains.

"Sister, you are finally back." Shen An rushed over like a cannonball and hugged Shen Jia, shouting excitedly.

Not to be outdone, Shen Yun ran over and grabbed the hem of Shen Jia's clothes. He looked at Shen Jia with a pair of cute big eyes and said in a sweet voice: "Sister, where did you go? Why did you come back after dark?"

Shen Jia had a free hand, touched Shen Yun and then Shen An: "My sister went into the mountains to collect herbs and forgot to check the time. She won't do it anymore." Shen Zhuoyun took Shen Jia's basket and basket and said sadly: "Jia Son, you are tired, I will help you put the medicinal materials in the pharmacy, you go and wash up first, and then you can eat after you come out."

Shen Zhuoyun opened the pharmacy today. He also went to the county town to buy a set of silver needles and a dagger for Shen Jia, as well as the pill furnace needed to practice elixirs.

Shen Hao ran back and carried two buckets of hot water to the bathroom.

Mrs. Gu hurried into the kitchen to heat up the dishes.

Even though it's summer, the dishes fried with lard don't taste good when they're cold.

Shen Jia simply washed up and then went to the kitchen. The family left her alone.

A trace of guilt flashed in Shen Jia's eyes, and she said, "When you are hungry, eat first without waiting for me."

"Eating is delicious when the whole family eats together." Shen Zhuoyun said with a smile.

Others nodded.

Shen Jia stopped talking and just waited.

After dinner, Shen Jia took out the fruit and gave it to each family member.

She will use the remaining two to make pills tomorrow.

"It smells so good, Jia'er, what is this?" Shen Zhuoyun asked curiously.

Shen Jia shrugged and said, "I don't know what kind of fruit this is, but my body becomes much lighter after eating it."

When Shen Hao, Shen Yun, and Shen An heard this, they looked at each other and started to chew at the same time.

"Wow, delicious."

"Mmm, it smells so good."

"Hey, why do I feel warm in my stomach?"

"Oh, my steps feel a lot lighter."

Shen Zhuoyun and Gu looked at them with smiles. After hearing what they said about the efficacy of this fruit, they were reluctant to eat it.

"Father, mother, why don't you eat quickly?" Shen Jia urged.

"Jia'er, dad won't eat it, so I'll leave such a good fruit to you brothers and sisters." Shen Zhuoyun said with a smile on his lips.

Gu nodded and raised the corners of her eyes slightly: "Well, we can't waste such a good thing, leaving just half of it for each of you four brothers and sisters."

Shen Jia sighed helplessly. Her parents in her previous life were also like this. They were reluctant to eat and wear, leaving the best to their siblings.

In her previous life, she lived to the age of thirty-five and never even had a boyfriend, let alone get married and have children, so she didn't quite understand this kind of selfless dedication.

"Father, mother, you eat it quickly. There is no need to leave it for us. Each person can only eat one piece of this fruit. Our bodies may not be able to bear it if we eat too much."

Shen Jia lied without changing his expression.
