Chapter 109: Bitten by a Snake

“Little Nan, be careful!”

“Mommy, be careful!”

Both of them saw the danger. Mu Jingzhe felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the snakes heading toward Shao Nan. She couldn’t care about anything else and instantly exploded, smashing the two snakes in front of her and the one heading toward Shao Nan.

She hit that snake’s tail in an instant, and the snake instantly turned around and charged toward Mu Jingzhe at lightning speed. Just as it was about to bite Mu Jingzhe, Shao Nan’s movements became faster than his brain, and he instantly pounced forward to suppress the snake.

The snake was pinned down and was about to turn around to attack when Mu Jingzhe’s expression changed drastically, and she smashed down the snake hard.

Shao Dong also picked up a stool and smashed it over. In the end, thanks to their combined efforts, they managed to kill the snake and beat it to a pulp.

Mu Jingzhe lifted Shao Nan up, but before he could say anything, she saw another snake crawling over from the courtyard.

Mu Jingzhe felt her blood run cold. Was there no way to escape?

“Mom, come here quickly!”

Shao Dong took a look and pulled Shao Xi along to move toward the table in the corridor.

The table was a homemade wooden table that was usually used for resting and drinking tea. It wasn’t considered tall, but in a situation like this, it was always good to be standing at an elevated height.

Shao Xi scooped Xiao Wu up. Little Bei pulled Mu Jingzhe, who was still carrying Shao Nan, to the wooden table.

Shao Dong’s face was pale. He held a stool in his hand and comforted Mu Jingzhe. “Mommy, don’t be scared.”

Little Bei’s hands were also trembling, but upon looking at Shao Dong, she still tried her best to stand in front of her. “Yes, Mommy, we will protect you.”

Shao Xi didn’t say a word and, imitating Shao Dong, picked up the stool beside the table and prepared himself.

The same happened when Shao Nan reacted. Xiao Wu could only hold the stool with both hands, but that didn’t stop him from reaching for one.

As she gazed at them, Mu Jingzhe’s blank mind finally cleared up.

“It’s fine, I can do it too!”

She was still holding the pestle that she had used to beat that snake previously. It was the pestle they used to pound rice during the New Year festival. Mu Jingzhe didn’t think the pestle was a good enough weapon, so she picked up a stool in the end.

As soon as she picked it up, the snakes hissed and slithered toward them.

All of a sudden, there were many snakes in the house. Furthermore, they weren’t small. Although they weren’t as thick as a person’s wrist, they were all thicker than a thumb. Plus, some were even as thick as a baby’s arm. Their color was also very strange.

Mu Jingzhe was afraid of snakes. Usually, even when she opened a webpage to take a look, she would feel goosebumps. Therefore, she didn’t know much about snakes. She only knew that green bamboo snakes had a weird color and were venomous.

These snakes weren’t the color of green bamboo, but they all looked like poisonous snakes. In addition, they were so aggressive that it was obvious that there was something wrong. Mu Jingzhe told herself to calm down.

However, it was no use. Mu Jingzhe couldn’t calm down. As the snakes slithered over to attack them, the tense nerves in her brain snapped again.

The next three minutes were a crazy nightmare for Mu Jingzhe.

There was only one thought on her mind—she couldn’t let these snakes get close. She had to keep whacking them.

“Be careful!

“Be careful!

“Smash them at seven inches. Their weakness is at the seven-inch spot.”

It was actually very brave of an adult and five children to put up such a fight against these snakes with their backs facing each other. Furthermore, they knew how to protect Mu Jingzhe, but they were still too young and weak.

Shao Dong didn’t manage to kill a snake when he hit it, and he was almost bitten. Mu Jingzhe reacted quickly and pulled Shao Dong away.

However, she seemed to feel pain in her ankle, as if she had been bitten. Mu Jingzhe’s heart sank, and before she could take another look, the snake was smashed into pieces.

Mu Jingzhe hoped that it was just an illusion. She had no idea if she was thinking too much, but she felt that her condition was getting worse and even stranger. In the end, she couldn’t care about anything else and smashed the stool at a snake whenever she saw one.

She couldn’t care less about aiming at the seven-inch spot. All she could do was smash each snake’s head with all her might.

When she finally couldn’t see any snakes, Mu Jingzhe’s legs went limp and she fell until she was sitting on the table. “No… No more, right?”

Little Bei saw that Mu Jingzhe’s face was covered in cold sweat and helped her wipe it off. “They’re gone. Mommy, are you okay?”

Mu Jingzhe’s heart relaxed when she heard that they were gone. Then, she felt dizzy and fainted.

“Mommy!” The children were shocked.

At that moment, someone ran in from the door. It was none other than Zhao Lan. She had heard the screams and come over to take a look.

There was another person following her who had also come after hearing the screams.

As soon as the two of them entered, they saw the snakes that had been killed. Feeling completely frightened, they couldn’t help but let out a shriek.

“Why are there so many snakes?” It looked like there were a dozen… or more than that. Anyone would be terrified if they saw so many snakes, let alone seeing them get smashed like that.

Zhao Lan’s legs turned wobbly. She then saw the unconscious Mu Jingzhe. “Mu Jingzhe was bitten to death?” Zhao Lan blurted out without thinking.

In an instant, Zhao Lan could no longer care about her dizziness. She seemed to have regained her strength.

Shao Dong’s expression changed. “No!”

He retorted fiercely, but a second later, Shao Dong saw two almost negligible red dots on Mu Jingzhe’s ankle.

Shao Dong’s expression changed drastically. “How could…”

Shao Xi followed Shao Dong’s gaze and saw the red dots. His face turned pale. “How is that possible? When…”

“When did Mommy get bitten?” Little Bei saw it too. Upon seeing the wound and Mu Jingzhe’s pale face and cold sweat, she was instantly overwhelmed by fear.

Why hadn’t she seen it? Why hadn’t she noticed it?

This question flashed through Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan’s minds. Why hadn’t they protected Mu Jingzhe?

Why hadn’t they even known when she was bitten? This was the first time she was so terrified of something, yet they’d still failed to protect her?

Shao Dong felt as if the world was spinning around him, but a second later, he heard Zhao Lan’s voice. He didn’t know if it sounded shocked or delighted.

“Is Mu Jingzhe really dead?”

Her voice was abnormally sharp and contained a hint of strangeness and excitement. action

Shao Dong looked over and saw that her eyes were wide open. There was no trace of worry, only indescribable excitement. It was as if Mu Jingzhe being bitten to death was an extremely joyous occasion.

At that moment, Shao Dong only felt his mind buzz. The taut string in his mind instantly snapped. He couldn’t suppress his anger, and without thinking, he threw the stool in his hand that he had yet to put down.

“Get lost!”

He had utilized all his might and he was filled with killing intent. At that moment, Shao Dong really wanted to kill Zhao Lan.

The stool hit Zhao Lan’s head with a thud. Zhao Lan was knocked back a few steps, and her vision went black for a moment.

She hadn’t expected the b*stard to dare hit her. She reached out and felt a sticky sensation. It was a mixture of blood and flesh left behind after hitting the snakes.

Zhao Lan was already in pain. When she saw this, she was even more furious. “Shao Dong! How dare you throw this at me!”

She roared and raised her head, only to see Shao Dong’s bloodshot eyes glaring at her. He was like a wolf, ready to pounce on her and bite her neck in a second.

Zhao Lan felt a chill on her neck. Her anger froze, and her mind instantly cleared up.

This little brat really wanted her dead. He might really kill her. Not just him, but the other little brats too.

Zhao Lan looked at Shao Xi, Shao Nan, Little Bei, and Xiao Wu. The other four children had identical gazes that sent a chill right to her heart. This was the first time she felt afraid of these children.
