In the bamboo forest, Zhang Liu, who was walking at the front, had already made his first harvest. It was not the bamboo rat that everyone was thinking about when to eat their next meal after eating.

But the bamboo fungus is also remembered for its texture and taste.

Since it was still morning, he happened to encounter the emergence of bamboo fungus.

This scene stunned Xiang Lingying and Xiang Wanying, who had returned without success last night.

"Su Yan, I'll leave it to you to collect the bamboo fungus. Sister Wanying and I and Xiang Lingying are going to make weapons." Zhang Liu used a machete to cut off a bamboo fungus that was opening its cap and held it in his hand. Su Yan, who had empty hands beside her, suggested: "Why don't you go up and get a bamboo bowl or something to put it in?"

"Ok!"

Nodding, Su Yan didn't have any objections and just ran towards the mountainside.

Behind her was Zhang Liu's advice.

"Run slower."

"Take a few more!"

"Okay!" Su Yan responded while running away. Zhang Liu, Xiang Lingying and Xiang Wanying also started the first wave of collection.

All three held palm leaves in their hands.

This tree can be seen everywhere next to bamboo forests, and its leaves like cattail fans are also a good choice for storing things.

The smell of fresh bamboo fungus is very strange. There is a smell of oily wood, but it is not unpleasant.

And its shape is also very strange. Depending on the time of flowering, there will be mucus or direct softening and rotting on the canopy.

Cutting off the roots to collect is actually not a good idea.

When the cut bamboo fungus is placed on the palm leaves, it will secrete a slightly whitish liquid, which is obviously a loss of nutrients or flavor.

But under the premise that there is not enough water source to clean the bamboo fungus.

The three of them could only do this to ensure that the subsequent cleaning process was simple and fast. It was absolutely stupid to waste too much water for non-protein food. This was the consensus reached by Zhang Liu and others after they suffered from hunger and thirst.

Xiang Lingying holds a knife more than ten centimeters long in his hand and is currently collecting the fourth bamboo fungus.

But out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of red moving in the pile of fallen leaves on the ground at her feet.

In nature, this color is basically equated with danger, especially if it can move.

The sixth sense came into play at this moment.

With a chill running down his back, Xiang Lingying didn't even turn his head to determine what it was. The knife that was slowly cutting the root of the bamboo fungus flew over horizontally, and was instantly torn in half by the ordinary bamboo fungus.

At the same time, her knife also lifted a long oil-green snake about one meter long from the ground.

In a state of high mental stress, Xiang Lingying could see the long oil-green snake rolling and twisting in the air at this moment, trying to adjust the trajectory of the snake's head to the landing point.

This was something she had never thought of. She just saw a flash of red and drew the knife directly on it. It was just Xiang Wanying's subconscious move.

Now that danger is approaching, her concentration is extremely high and her thinking is very quick.

Perhaps human courage lies in the decisive attitude in the face of danger and fear.

Xiang Lingying hated the twisted and sticky feeling of snakes.

This may be the fear inherited by ancient humans after witnessing their own kind being bitten by snakes and then dying.

Anyone who is not afraid has been destroyed by the snake.

But now she didn't freeze in fear, but took the initiative to attack.

He reached out and grabbed the snake's tail that was still twisted in the air, then stood up and lifted the entire snake.

Unconsciously, Xiang Lingying imitated Zhang Liu's previous method of dealing with snakes, which was to directly grab the tail and swing it wildly.

"Snapped……"

With a simple and rough sound, the snake's body was thrown onto the bamboo by her like a green whip.

Theoretically, Xiang Lingying's approach is correct. It can keep the snake's head away from the body to the greatest extent.

But from a practical point of view, his approach was wrong, because the bamboo was only as thick as an arm and could not form an effective impact surface.

After Xiang Wanying grabbed the snake's tail and knocked it up, the meter-long snake body went directly around the bamboo, and the snake's head was automatically wound and knotted on the bamboo.

The snake is no longer in a situation where it has nowhere to rely on, it has room to fight back.

The place where bamboo fungus was collected was near the root system of the bamboo, so the distance between Xiang Lingying and the bamboo was less than half a meter.

After seeing the snake's body knotted, she was immediately frightened without being able to defend herself.

But the palm of his hand was still clenched on the snake's tail, forgetting to let go and run away.

Originally, after the snake saw how big the other party was, he had already planned to run away according to the advice passed down by his ancestors.

But the tail is still in the enemy's hands and cannot break free.

So it decisively raised its turquoise triangular snake head and bit directly at the culprit who lifted it off the ground in front of it.

Xiang Lingying's eyes widened in horror. At this moment, her whole body was numb, and she couldn't even move or shout.

This is caused by adrenaline secretion, after increasing the intensity of the reaction and resisting to no avail.

The only thing the body can do is ensure that it will be attacked in a more "comfortable" situation.

This long process actually takes only five seconds to be accurate.

But it was enough time for Zhang Liu to notice in the third second. After all, he was less than three meters away from Xiang Lingying.

After the other party made a move, Zhang Liu had already turned his head to look.

And he also saw Xiang Lingying holding a snake tail and throwing a long oil-green snake on the bamboo.

From the third to the fourth second, Zhang Liu took two steps forward, and the three-meter distance was shortened to only one meter.

There is more than one second left.

Between the fourth and fifth seconds, he had already raised the knife in his hand.

The time is just right!

Because the next attack doesn't even take a second!

Chapter 225 The maid who is afraid that her plan will fail (monthly ticket adds Chapter 28)

At the end of the fifth second.

Zhang Liu's knife had already struck the snake's head, which was raising its head in the air.

The opponent has also bitten his head forward a certain distance, which caused the original decapitation attack to become a body chopping attack.

All in all, within these five seconds, he could only use less than two seconds.

But Zhang Liu was not as slow as a certain invincible man.

He managed to get to Xiang Lingying before the snake bit him, and with his knife in his hand, he cut off the smaller half of the long oil-green snake's body and head.

The machete is very powerful, but it is not too sharp. If you cut off the head of the snake, it will not be sharp enough to cut off the tail of the snake held by Xiang Lingying. You can only knock it out of the opponent's hand.

Just in case, Zhang Liu also inserted a machete into the ground to jam the snake's head to prevent it from jumping up and biting people.

After confirming that the snake could only twist and wait for death without moving to attack, he felt relieved, turned his head and shouted to Xiang Lingying next to him: "The snake didn't bite you, did it?"

Xiang Lingying silently shook his head, indicating that he was in a safe and sound state for the time being.

Zhang Liu did not see the scene where the other party tried to counterattack by swinging at the snake due to the burst of adrenaline but failed.

At this moment, he just thought that Xiang Lingying was scared by the snake and couldn't move, so he comforted him softly: "It's good that I didn't bite him..."

Xiang Wanying had gone a little far while collecting bamboo fungus. After hearing Zhang Liu's words, she quickly put down the bamboo fungus in her hand and ran over.

Seeing the long oil-green snake stuck in the soil with the machete, Xiang Wanying said in surprise: "This is green bamboo leaf!"

Then she looked at Xiang Lingying, who was still standing blankly, with worry in her eyes.

"It's okay, I reacted very quickly." Noticing Xiang Wanying's worried expression, Zhang Liu opened his mouth to stop the other party from blurting out the question to his eldest lady: "At that time, I was almost bitten by a snake. Just chop it up!"

It was only at this moment that Xiang Lingying came to her senses from the failure of her counterattack. She turned to look at Zhang Liu with a proud smile in front of her and said, "Classmate Zhang Liu, thank you."

"It's okay, it's okay, just be careful." Zhang Liu waved his hand, and then his eyes saw the little pink rabbit running not far away...

That's Su Yan.

There was a bamboo forest starting from the mountainside, so she left and returned very quickly, only a few minutes before and after.

At this moment, Su Yan was holding two bamboo bowls in her hands. The bamboo film inside was still there, which Zhang Liu had not started to use after breaking it open last night.

It’s just perfect for serving ingredients like bamboo fungus.

"I brought the bamboo bowl back. It should be able to hold a lot of bamboo fungus!" Su Yan spoke and ran closer. She was first frightened by the long oil-green snake on the ground, and then asked: "You guys Is there anything?"

"It's okay, it's just that classmate Xiang Lingying seems to be scared." Zhang Liu looked at Xiang Lingying, who looked pale, and then said, "How are you, do you want to take a rest?"

As he spoke, he looked at Wanying with a hint of inquiry. Zhang Liu wanted her to take Xiang Lingying to the mountainside shelter to rest.

After all, Xiang Wanying can actually do it for her as well.

I called Xiang Lingying here because she is the thinnest among girls and can be used as the lower limit of weight and length.

If the other party goes to rest, then at most the weight that Xiang Wanying needs to adapt to will be slightly reduced, and that should be enough.

"I'm fine!" Taking a deep breath, Xiang Lingying's body was still shaking a little at this moment. She looked at the boy in front of her who already had a very tall image in her mind and said, "Zhang Liu, I can do it!"

Zhang Liu pursed his lips and said nothing, but there was indeed some hesitation in his eyes.

He thought that this person was the key to completely breaking away from the poor class after he got out of poverty, and even married Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang at the same time.

So if it involves personal matters.

For example, today's work is to make bamboo guns, and Zhang Liu is prepared to do more by himself and take over the other person's work, so that he can be in a more relaxed state.

Of course, he was asked to do something like ask other girls to work more, so as to give Xiang Lingying preferential treatment.

Zhang Liu was absolutely unwilling.

Even if he wants to give preferential treatment to a girl, he will only bleed from his own body and take something out.

It was like giving his mutton jerky to Anya yesterday to ensure that Gu Qingrou would have the mutton jerky to eat.

This is Zhang Liu's principle of life.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

"Miss..." Next to Xiang Lingying, Xiang Wanying also persuaded softly: "Why don't you go and take a rest first?"

"It's okay! Sister Wanying!" Xiang Lingying turned to look at Xiang Wanying behind him, and then said seriously: "With Zhang Liu here, I'll be fine!"

"Hey?"

Compared to Zhang Liu, who had not realized the significance of Xiang Lingying's words, Su Yan and Xiang Wanying were both stunned for a moment, and then showed a bit of surprise on their faces.

And began to look back and forth at Xiang Lingying and Zhang Liu...

"Zhang Liu, let's make the bamboo gun quickly. I will cooperate with you!"

Turning around to look at Zhang Liu, Xiang Lingying showed a proactive and happy smile for the first time.

Before the snake-killing thing came up.

In fact, she has always had an "appreciative" attitude towards the boy in front of her.

The other party is indeed very good, very responsible, and very suitable to be a husband.

Moreover, she is the type that Sister Wanying will be able to live a good life after her future dowry is over.

But in Xiang Lingying's heart, Zhang Liu's help to her now and his care for her in life and work in the future can be repaid a hundred or a thousand times to Xiang Jia after her death.

However, after killing the snake.

What Xiang Lingying realized at the critical moment was that she was not as "high" as she thought, and the future rewards were completely worthless in the current critical moment.

Bamboo leaves are poisonous. Once bitten and injected with venom, the probability of death on this desert island is basically 100%.

So Xiang Lingying longed for a sense of security.

And Zhang Liu, who had just saved her, was undoubtedly the representative word of security.

Standing next to Zhang Liu, he was trimming the felled bamboo for the other party. Xiang Lingying, whose last trace of pride was worn away, quietly glanced at Zhang Liu who was cutting the third bamboo.

There is no longer any "appreciation" in her eyes, but only tenderness and dependence.

Plus a bit of trust.
