Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 19 Catch the Snake
The snake was also startled when it heard Liu Man'er's shout, and found Liu Man'er and the two of them, it turned around and then raised its head to attack Liu Man'er and the two of them.

It was too late to say that, Liu Man'er's heart jumped into her throat, but Ye Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the snake by seven inches.

"It turned out to be a five-step snake."

In order not to scare Liu Man'er, Ye Yuan pretended to speak relaxedly, but the expression on his face was clearly not so relaxed. This snake was about as thick as an adult's wrist. At this moment, although it was caught by Ye Yuan for seven inch, but still refused to admit defeat...

Its tail was wrapped around Ye Yuan's wrist, its mouth was desperately opened, its pointed head was about to be divided into two sides, the sharp fangs inside looked a bit piercing.Liu Man'er's hairs stood on end as she watched from the side.

Ye Yuan's wrist was stretched by the snake's veins, but his fingers were still tightly holding the snake's seven inches. Seeing his strenuous effort, Liu Man'er took out the hatchet from his waist , wanting to chop off the snake.

"Don't." Ye Yuan quickly stopped, "After this snake dies, it's worthless."

"But, this is a poisonous snake, what if it bites you?" Liu Man'er was stared at by the snake, and clearly felt some sinisterness from the snake. She raised the hatchet, and still wanted to chop at the snake. Go, but she was afraid of hurting Ye Yuan, so she hesitated all the time.

"Although this snake is strong and strong, it won't be able to hold on after a while." Ye Yuan changed his hand to grab the snake, obviously his right hand was also a little weak because of the snake's entanglement.

"You go find a vine, we can tie this snake up." Ye Yuan said.

"But I'm leaving, what if you can't hold on any longer?" Liu Man'er felt that she had to stay by Ye Yuan's side so that she could rest assured.Because the snake was more than one meter long by visual inspection, and so thick, weighing several kilograms, Liu Man'er was really worried.

"No way." Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Aren't there just a lot of vines around here?"

"Okay!" If she was really concerned, Liu Man'er lowered her head and found that there were many vines not far away, so she squatted down and chopped one randomly.

"Look, can you? How should I tie it?" Liu Man'er looked at the snake's mouth and felt a little scared.

But she also knew that the snake's mouth should be bound first, as long as it stopped biting, everything would be fine.

Thinking of this, she took the vine and began to bind it, but after all, the vine was not as strong as the rope, Liu Man'er was always worried that some would not be able to restrain it, and she was afraid that the snake would be bound to death if she used it too hard. Sometimes it can't be sold at a good price.

"Don't be afraid, this snake is not so easy to die, you just need to tie it to seven inches." Ye Yuan pointed aside, and lowered his right hand a little, so that Liu Man'er can easily tie it up.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Man'er tied up the snake, but she was still a little worried. After all, this five-step snake is not a joke. I heard that after biting a person, the person will die after walking five steps. This is enough to know that this snake is very poisonous.

"Ye Yuan, don't let go, I'll tie it up a few more times."

For safety's sake, Liu Man'er tied it up again, and with her strength, the snake's body gradually loosened from Ye Yuan's hand.

Immediately afterwards, she tied the snake's body every inch, until the snake was densely wrapped into a long big rice dumpling, and then she stopped.

"Ye Yuan, look, is this okay?" Liu Man'er asked.

"Okay." Ye Yuan pondered and glanced at the snake, at this moment, it could no longer move.

Putting the snake into the back basket without any hassle, Liu Man'er was still a little worried: "Why don't we go down the mountain first and get rid of the snake? What if it slips out after I'm not tied up tightly? Even if it is If it didn’t slip out, what if it jumped out of the basket and bit you?”

After all, such a big snake is no joke.

"Monkey, we can come again next time, your safety is the most important thing." Liu Man'er insisted on pulling Ye Yuan down the mountain.

"Okay then, let's go to the town to sell this snake first and see how much it's worth." Ye Yuan finally agreed to Liu Man'er's request, after all her worry was not unreasonable.

"Okay, then don't put the snake in the basket, can you carry it?" Liu Man'er looked at the way the snake opened its mouth wide, and felt that it was a bit creepy.

"Don't be afraid, it won't bite you." Although he said so, Ye Yuan still found some branches and made a simple cover inside the basket.

This snake is not light, if he holds it in his hand later, the villagers will see it along the way, and it may cause criticism again.

He is a low-key person and really doesn't like being pointed at by others.

"Then you can carry the backpack in your hand, so that if something happens, I can see it, and you can react in time."

Liu Man'er suggested again, but this time, Ye Yuan followed her words and put the basket in his hands, and instead put his bow on his back.

It's just a pity that along the way, he saw several rabbits running past his eyes. He wanted to catch them very much, but he could only sigh.

Liu Man'er looked at it with a pity, last time because of a moment of kindness, she had let go of a big fat rabbit, and this time she wanted to watch these big fat rabbits slip away from her eyes.

"Why don't you teach me archery?" Liu Man'er said innocently.

"I'll teach you when I have time." To her surprise, Ye Yuan agreed without hesitation.

I don't know if what he said is true or not. Anyway, as long as he agrees, it will be easy to say.

All the way down the mountain, Liu Man'er was very nervous all the way, she was afraid that the snake would crawl out of the basket and bite Ye Yuan, if so, it would be her own fault.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and Liu Man'er felt relieved.

He went back to the village smoothly and did not enter the house. Ye Yuan planned to go to the town to sell the snake. Liu Man'er was secretly happy, and she asked secretly, "Ye Yuan, give us an estimate, we caught it. How much can this snake be sold for?"

"At least two taels of silver." Ye Yuan replied.

Liu Man'er's face suddenly glowed with the light of a money fan, "Two taels of silver, isn't that a lot of money? It's more cost-effective than a wild boar."

"Yeah, after the money is sold, I'll tear a piece of cloth for you and make clothes."

"Thank you, but let's do it for my mother first. My mother hasn't made clothes for a long time."

"Don't worry, mother will have it too."

Ye Yuan expressed satisfaction with Liu Man'er's filial piety.

"Oh, Xiaohe and Fusheng will definitely have two children." Liu Man'er was not satisfied.

"They have it too." Ye Yuan replied patiently.

"What about you?" Liu Man'er asked again.

"I have a lot of clothes, so I don't need to buy them." Seeing Liu Man'er, Ye Yuan looked like he was going to ask again, and said, "Haven't you been talking about buying new clothes all the time? Why did I do this for you first? Your question But so many?"

"Hi, I'm the eldest sister-in-law. I'm always concerned about my younger brothers and sisters. Otherwise, the people in Chuanxi will definitely gossip."

"Are you still afraid of other people's gossip?" Ye Yuan had an expression of disbelief.

"Why am I not afraid? I'm very afraid. I don't like being talked about. If anyone dares to talk about me, I won't care at first. If she gets angry, I will take a hatchet and go to her house to chop it up." go!"

Liu Man'er said domineeringly.

As she said that, she remembered her hatchet, and in order to avoid the snake from running out, she put the hatchet pinned around her waist on top of the basket.

"Are you afraid that the snake will come out to bite you, or do you want to increase my weight?" Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.

"I'm afraid that the snake will come out and bite you." Liu Man'er said seriously, "You still talk like this, how much can a knife weigh? I can easily pick up ten such heavy knives."

It was only then that Ye Yuan remembered that the woman in front of him was not the delicate young lady he had seen when he was stationed in the city. She was not that kind of weak woman. people.

However, with an inexplicable heartache, "You are indeed very strong, and I said something wrong."

"It's okay, you don't understand me, I don't blame you."

After saying something plausible but not incomprehensible, Liu Man'er walked briskly towards the town. This was the second time she came to town, so it was a bit novel to say.

But today is not a day for going to the market. There are far fewer people in this town. Except for some established shops, there are almost no people who come out to set up stalls. There are only a few people in twos and threes on the street.

Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er finally found a medicinal herb shop in the town, but that person was only willing to spend five slings to buy this snake.

If Liu Man'er didn't know the price, she must have felt that the price was already very good, but at this moment, she already knew the price, and Ye Yuan's estimate was only two taels, so she was naturally unwilling to sell it so cheaply.

"The price is really too low. We almost lost our lives to hunt this snake just now. Are you willing to pay us five hundred coins?" Liu Man'er felt a little resentful. .

"Our price is still high. If you ask elsewhere, it will be even lower." The person who collected the snake said with some disdain, "In this day and age, human life is worthless."

Liu Man'er was a little annoyed when she heard that, yes, in this day and age, human life is worthless, and buying a daughter-in-law in the mountains costs only a few dozen cents, and she was bought by Ye Yuan's family for five cents.

Every time she thinks of this, she always feels a little depressed.

Besides, on this street, this is the only family that accepts this kind of snake, okay? He asked them to go elsewhere because he saw that they couldn't sell them.
