Chapter 38
Sister–in–law’s legs were shaking and her father quickly pulled her out. As a result, there was a lot of mucus and eggshells on her ankle and a small snake as thick as a thumb was coiled around her ankle.
My nephew and I were trembling with fear. Sister–in–law’s father smiled and grabbed the small snake. I didn’t know if it was poisonous or not, so he stuffed it into the bottle of white wine he carried with him.
My sister–in–law’s grandmother opened the haystack and saw a nest of white eggs lying inside, all stuck together, oval and long in shape.}
“This is a good thing, the best for the body.” Grace exclaimed.}
I saw her picking out the ones that were not stepped on, holding them all in her arms, ready to pick them up.
I suddenly took my sister–in–law’s straw hat and handed it to her.
“Put it in here, it’s inconvenient for you to carry it.“}
My sister–in–law’s grandmother saw that the straw hat was big enough, so she greedily picked up all the snake eggs in the haystack and filled the hat.
“Grandpa, can this thing be eaten?” asked the nephew suspiciously.
My sister–in–law’s grandmother said excitedly, “This is a good thing, Grandpa will cook eggs for you.“>
I sneered in my heart. Although snake eggs had high nutritional value and were rich in amino acids and trace elements, why didn’t we humans eat snake eggs, but chicken, duck and goose eggs? Because we could beat chicken, duck and goose mothers, but not snake mothers!!!
They picked up the snake eggs and prepared to find firewood to set up the pot.
I pointed at the snake’s nest and said, “Why bother? There is firewood ready.“}
My sister–in–law’s parents helped, lifted a handful of firewood from the haystack and started to cook snake eggs.”
Eating the mother snake’s eggs and burning the mother snake’s nest was much more serious than in the previous life. I thought the mother snake would be so angry when he went home that he would run all over the country for revenge.
I used the excuse that I couldn’t smell the fishy smell of eggs and deliberately stood far away, alert to the surroundings at any time.
Soon the snake eggs were cooked, my sister–in–law’s grandmother ate two, my sister–in–law ate one, my sister–in–law’s parents ate three each and the remaining one was reluctant to give it to me, so she asked my nephew to eat it.
My nephew shook his head violently and he couldn’t pull it over. My sister–in–law’s grandmother scolded my nephew for not having a good taste and put the remaining snake egg into my sister–in–law’s bowl, asking her to eat the snake egg and give birth to a big fat boy next year.}
After eating the snake eggs, my sister–in–law’s parents went fishing and my sister–in–law and grandmother started to set up a tent. I advised my sister–in–law and grandmother to choose a place closer so as not to walk too far.}
My sister–in–law and grandmother immediately set up the tent next to the haystack and my sister–in–law even spread the bed on the haystack trampoline and had a lot of fun on the shaking bed.
My sister–in–law invited me to jump on it together, but I left on the pretext that I had to set up the tent.
I chose a flat place, set up my tent and sprinkled a circle of realgar around it, hoping to spend the night safely. I also checked that the anti–cobra venom serum was carried with me.
After setting up the tent, my sister–in–law sent me a message to come over to eat fish and we went to the river to find my sister–in–law’s father.
“Dad, how many fish did you catch?” My sister in law asked her father.
My sister–in–law’s father sat by the river, leisurely acting as a fisherman. When he saw us coming, he smiled and showed us his results, two grass carps.
In this wilderness, no one put in fish fry, so catching two fish was good.”
My sister–in–law happily prepared to cook the fish on the spot and her mother took out a bag of peanuts and poured it on the plate. After my sister–in–law’s father ate a few spicy peanuts, he habitually took out the bottle of white wine in his arms and drank a sip.
No one noticed that the poisonous snake in the white wine bottle suddenly jumped out of the bottle mouth and got into my sister–in–law’s father’s mouth. He screamed out loud.
Hearing the noise, we quickly walked over and saw my sister–in–law’s father suddenly pinched his throat, as if he wanted to spit something out, his face quickly turned red and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
