Chapter 42 The Dog Takes the Mouse and Meddles in Its Business (1)
Although Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Rong dared to say big things in front of Lin Chun, they immediately became as obedient as little sheep when they heard the name of the young master's family. Now that I have said that, I don’t want to say anything more, I just hope that the two women can take care of themselves in the future, and don’t change their faces like changing clothes when they look at the petty profit in front of them. It’s getting late today, and my younger siblings are at home, so I’m worried , I’ll go back first.”

Today, because Lin Chun found a good husband for Datou and Erya and recruited a few good guards for the family, his good mood soared for a while, but now he was disturbed by these two women, feeling irritable, and hurriedly bid farewell to Uncle Qian. Everyone went home.

Before he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard the cries of Erya and Xiaoshan at home. Lin Chun jumped out of the bullock cart and rushed home in shock. He pushed open the door. The two lay on the bed, trembling, Datou and Aunt Cuihua were holding sticks, facing the black wooden box in the corner, looking scared, beeping and obedient, Beibei's three puppies kept yelling at the box, not stopping The other scratched and scratched the box with his paws, also eagerly.An He and the others and Uncle Dashan also heard the sound. Uncle Dashan tied the ox cart to a big tree at the foot of the mountain, and ran to Lin Chun's house in a hurry. Mrs. An and Mrs. Li followed quickly. .

"Auntie, what are you guys doing? What happened at home? Why are Xiaoshan and Erya crying so much?!" Lin Chun saw Erya and Xiaoshan hiding on the bed and crying, looking frightened, obviously scared by something broken.

"Big ya, you're back, hurry up, call your Uncle Dashan into the house, Erya and Xiaoshan were playing in the house just now, seeing Dudu and Guaiguai, Beibei kept scratching the black wooden box, two I probably opened it out of curiosity, and took a look. Datou and I took out the fungus at home in the yard and turned it in the sun. Suddenly, we heard the cry of these two people, and rushed in. They didn’t say anything when they asked them. I kept pointing at the black wooden box and crying. Datou and I didn’t know what was in the box, and we were afraid to open it, so we had to hold a stick and guard it, fearing that the things inside would get scared or hurt if it came out. Two children." Seeing Aunt Cuihua sweating and nervous, Lin Chun must have been waiting here for a long time.

"Miss, don't be afraid, let Mrs. An and Mrs. Li carry Second Miss and Young Master Xiaoshan out of the house first, and I will wait for a few people to open the box together to see what kind of monster is in this box. How dare you enter the room to scare people! "After hearing the situation in Aunt Cuihua's room, An He immediately thought of a way.

"Well, that's fine. Please, the two ladies, please take my younger sister and brother Xiaoshan out first. Aunt Cuihua, you and Datou also go out to take care of them first. Uncle Dashan goes to drive the ox cart home first, so as not to be stolen at the foot of the mountain." , there are me, An and the eldest brother in the room, even if there is a tiger in the box, there is nothing to be afraid of. As for Mr. Yu, I will wrong you first, and meet Erya Xiaoshan in the next room, and enlighten them by the way. Get rid of their fear." Lin Chun gave orders one by one, and everyone hurriedly acted on them.

Lin Chun went to the box, picked up Dudu and other three puppies and handed them to An Zhu, and asked him to take the puppies out and settle them down to avoid bad things. When all the people and animals that should go were gone, Lin Chun squatted down. Get down, put your ears on the outside of the box, and listen to the sound inside the box. After listening for a long time, there is no movement in the box. Lin Chun finds a wooden stick more than one meter long, and asks Ann and elder brother to stand far away. I'm going to open the lid of the box to see what's hidden in the box. This black wooden box was originally moved from Mr. Lin's house. Since the family has made money, it has never been used again. There are only a few second-hand items in it. Ya and Datou's little clothes were already tattered and Lin Chun stuffed them inside.

Lin Chun carefully lifted the lid of the box with a wooden stick. An He and the others were holding sticks at one side, waiting for the opportunity to go up when the box was opened wide. The lid of the box fell to the ground without making too much noise. Walking slowly into the box, I saw a pair of shabby little clothes nestled on top of a flawless, white jade-like head with a sleek head, coiled up into a disc, hibernating in the box, Lin Chun I also found a hole as thick as a child's arm on the corner of the box cover that fell to the ground. I think the white snake crawled into the box through this hole!
"It turned out to be a white snake. Erya and Xiaoshan were young, so it's no wonder they were frightened. In the mountains this winter, most snakes would find a warm nest to hibernate by themselves. I didn't expect this white snake to be so smart that it came to Miss's house. Miss, don't be afraid, I'll beat it to death and throw it into the mountain." An Zhu said and wanted to hit the snake.

Lin Chun hurriedly pulled him back. In ancient times, this white snake was also called a spirit snake. A white snake entered the house. It seemed that it was a non-poisonous white snake. It was a good omen. It's a big deal, this white snake has not been discovered for a long time, but it has been discovered just now, it must be an auspicious thing, "Brother An Zhu wait a moment, this white snake is also called a spirit snake, it can come to my house to hibernate , is also my family's blessing, let's not disturb it, it will leave naturally when the weather is warmer."

"That's right, An Zhu, don't worry. I've also heard it said in Xuancheng that if a family enters a white snake, there must be great joy. The young lady's house is about to build a wall and build a new building. Isn't it a great joy?! So, let's It is best to find a corner and settle this white snake properly, and it is still in hibernation, if you do not provoke it, it will not attack people, so you can rest assured, as the lady said just now, when the weather gets warmer, It will leave on its own. Let's help it cover the box and lift the box to the corner." An He said on the side.

"Well, An and Big Brother are right. We just need to build a few new thatched cottages. If Miss is worried that Datou and Erya are afraid, she can carry the box to my room. I'm not afraid." An Mu patted said Chest.

"Thank you, brothers. It's a blessing for the family to get started with this white snake. Let it hibernate in this room. I will let Erya and Datou go to Uncle Dashan's house to sleep first. Erya and Xiaoshan were scared today. It’s good to avoid it, it’s getting late, the older brothers should hurry up and build a thatched house, Uncle Dashan cut down the trees and dried the straw a few days ago, you add Mrs. An, Mrs. Li and Mr. Yu There are nine people in total. Let the two women and I squeeze together tonight. The seven of you will build two rooms and sleep first. Get up early tomorrow and build two more rooms. One room will be used as a classroom for Mr. Yu and Datou and Erya. For rest, one for the two wives. I have already selected the bed and other items in the clothing store in the town. I will let An Wu and An Feng follow me to pick them up tomorrow, and I will cover them with the old ones tonight. Evening." Lin Chun is not afraid of snakes, thinking of the legend of Bai Suzhen in modern times, he knows that most of the creatures in the world are the same as human beings, there are good and bad, as long as they don't provoke them, they will be fine.
