It was obviously a snake as small as chopsticks, but it carried a fatal threat. One snake was already frightening, let alone hundreds of them. Neither Yinzhen nor Ling Ruo dared to act rashly. As for Chen Shu, he was already scared to hide.
Trembling on the side.
Yinzhen thought about calling Zhou Yong to come, but firstly he was afraid of disturbing the snakes, and secondly, even if Zhou Yong came, it would not help. If the wire snakes attacked in groups, they would not be able to wait for Zhou Yong to invite the snake exorcists.
"Fourth Master, what should we do now?" Ling Ruo bit her bloodless lower lip and asked tremblingly, holding her lower abdomen tightly with her hands. She finally understood why she didn't hear the chirping of insects and frogs tonight. It was all because of the fear of these venomous snakes.
They dare not make a sound.
"Don't be afraid, hide behind me. Let's retreat slowly. When we reach the inner hall, close the door and seal the cracks in the door. This will prevent these wire snakes from coming in." Yinzhen's mind raced and he instantly thought of temporarily blocking these wire snakes.
As for the method of wire snakes, as to why so many poisonous wire snakes appeared all at once, he had no time to investigate at the moment.
Yinzhen led Ling Ruo back slowly, but strangely, no matter how many steps they took, the wire snake would follow them, and then keep a certain distance, neither too far nor too close, as if they were following them deliberately.
Although he felt strange, Yinzhen still didn't dare to stop, and slowly retreated to the inner hall with Ling Ruo, and then closed the door very slowly. He had already thought about it, as long as he temporarily blocked it for a while, he would take Ling Ruo with him.
Get away from the window and get rid of these horrible wire snakes.
Unfortunately, this plan did not succeed. They were obviously a group of beasts, but they seemed to have wisdom. Before Yinzhen closed the door, he suddenly accelerated his swimming speed, crossed the threshold and came inside, making them neither advance nor retreat.
.
Zhou Yong had already received the news and rushed over, but he was blocked by the wire snake and did not dare to come over. He could only worry outside.
Just when Yinzhen was at his wits' end, Chen Shu, who had followed them, accidentally knocked down the rosewood shelf next to him, making a loud "bang" sound and startling several people. When the shelf fell to the ground, Ling Ruo
It seemed that the same whistle as before was heard again, but then it disappeared again.
Just when Yinzhen was worried about whether he would anger the wire snakes, the snakes suddenly receded like the tide, disappeared into the darkness, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if they had never appeared at all.
However, the fright they brought to Yinzhen and the others could not recede so quickly. After waiting for a full cup of tea and confirming that the snakes had really left, Yinzhen took a deep breath and supported Ling, whose legs were weak.
If Ruo sat down in the chair, he kept stroking her back with his hand and said: "It's okay! It's okay!"
Ling Ruo stared at him blankly, and then cried out "Wow" for a while, her hands still tightly protecting her lower abdomen, while crying: "I really thought I was going to die just now, it doesn't matter if I die alone,
But the child...the child cannot die!"
Hearing the word "death", Yinzhen felt extremely uncomfortable. He didn't know whether to comfort Ling Ruo or himself, "No, you and the child are both fine. Nothing will happen to you."
"Fourth Master, how are you and Ling Fujin?" Zhou Yong ran over in shock.
"It's nothing serious." Yinzhen glanced at the bright sky outside and said, "You should go out of the house immediately to find the snake exorcist. You must try to drive these wire snakes out of the house that appear out of nowhere.
"
Zhou Yong promised and left quickly. Afterwards, Nala and others got the news and rushed over. After hearing the details, they all turned pale. They repeatedly asked whether Yinzhen and Ling Ruo were injured, and after confirming that the wire snake had not attacked
Only then did they feel at ease.
It’s just unclear how much is sincere and how much is fake.
Dai Jiashi stroked her chest and said, "It's really strange. I've been here for so many years and I haven't even seen a snake. Why were there so many wire snakes last night? It's really scary to think about it."
Mrs. Song glanced around in panic and said in shock: "Tell me, where have these wire snakes gone? Will they suddenly jump out and attack us?"
Nala frowned for a while and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you hear that the prince said that he has sent someone to invite the snake exorcist? If you are really scared, stay here peacefully before the snake exorcist comes and don't go out.
.With so many people here, even the wire snake wouldn’t have the guts to come.”
"Fujin's words are wrong." Nian said bluntly: "It is because of the large number of people that snakes, insects, rats, and ants are attracted. But the strange thing is that Ling Fujin encountered the wire snake twice in a row today. It seems that this snake
I came here just for her."
Yinzhen originally listened to what they said, but when he heard what Nian said next, he defended Ling Ruo and said: "There is no such thing, it's just a coincidence."
Seeing Yinzhen helping Ling Ruo speak, Nian became increasingly unhappy, "This time can be said to be a coincidence, but today it happened twice, and the second time they appeared in groups, how can I look at you?"
It doesn’t look like a coincidence.”
Wen Ruyan raised her eyebrows and said, "According to Nian Fujin's intention, if it's not a coincidence, then it's intentional. Is there someone who wants to harm my sister?"
Nian glanced at her coldly and said, "You said this, I didn't say it. I just said it doesn't seem like a coincidence."
"Could it be..." Mrs. Song seemed to have thought of something, but stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, say it. Why are you hesitating?" Yinzhen couldn't see this the most and scolded her unhappily.
Mrs. Song swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Could it be that Ling Fujin's health was inauspicious, so he attracted so many venomous snakes?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What does it mean to be unlucky?" When Guarjia heard this, she was the first to refuse. She pointed at Mrs. Song and shouted.
When Mrs. Song saw her attitude, she felt a little angry and sneered: "You haven't read a book or your ears are not good. You can't even understand such simple words. Since Niu Hulu came, the prince has suffered many times."
It’s dangerous. First, she was attacked and seriously injured when she went to Jiangxi to raise money. She also had many accidents when she went to Hangzhou. Now she has attracted such a bunch of fatal things and put the prince in danger. If not she is an unknown person, what is she?"
Listening to her confusing right and wrong and blaming herself for everything, Ling Ruo couldn't help but feel angry. Guarjia was so angry that she was about to argue with her when Yinzhen said: "Okay, one
No matter how decent this noisy person is, get down."
Mrs. Song was shouted at by him, glanced at Mr. Nian quietly and did not dare to say anything, and then left together with everyone else after bowing.
After they all left, Yinzhen squeezed Ling Ruo's cold hand and said, "That's how they are. Don't take it to heart. We were in trouble most of the night last night and you never closed your eyes. Now that you have nothing to do, go get some sleep."
.”
"Yes." Ling Ruo pushed Yinzhen and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for the prince to go to court. If he is delayed because of my affairs, I will be guilty of a great crime."
Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, and that there were a bunch of people guarding her, Yinzhen gave some instructions and led them away.
