Chapter 221

A glittering orb shot out from the snake's mouth and slammed into the box.

The boxes were smashed to pieces.

Then it leaped up and tried to grab the pearl and escape, but unfortunately there was a huge figure under the moon that was more agile and nimble.

The snake jumped up first, jumped to the side with the beads in its mouth, opened its mouth and spit it out, then started playing with the beads.

The snake missed its target and fell heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

Pumpkin pressed the beads, raised his bitter and resentful face, and stared at the snake with sharp eyes.

Suddenly, the snake seemed to see a lynx taking its life. After sniffing carefully, it thought it was a cat that eats snakes.

Cats that eat snakes!!!

Okay, okay, come on, come on, kill me!

The snake was heartbroken and raised its head to look around blankly, feeling that it was surrounded by enemies and that God was going to kill it. So it spun, squirmed, circled, and danced, spraying venom into the sky and letting it splash everywhere until it could no longer squeeze out a drop of venom, and then it fell to the ground in despair.

Well, it struggled, so it didn’t die quietly.

Let it live its snake life and end this moment of madness.

What's so scary about cats and humans? The only thing to do is let it die.

The child who wasn't splashed by a single drop of venom, Aunt Yu, and Pumpkin: ...

"Its brain seems to be a little bit not working well?"

The child thought it looked more like a crazy snake than a zombie.

"Did I smash it silly?"

At first glance, it looked quite clever.

What's going on with this half-dead look now?

Aunt Yu said softly, "Don't worry about that. Catch it quickly before it runs out and hurts anyone. What happened just now?"

The child didn't understand it either, but what was under the pumpkin's claws seemed to be a demon pill.

If this snake is a demon, then coming back to life wouldn't be particularly strange, right?

The child picked up the snake and put it into the empty jar that Aunt Yu had brought. He closed the lid and said, "It's great that you're not dead. You can stay here for one night. If I'm free tomorrow, I'll take you back."

As he said that, he took the demon pill back from Pumpkin.

It wasn't too difficult. Aunt Yu gave it a dried fish and it went away. Pumpkin usually smelled and picked at these things but would never eat them easily. The child also wanted Pumpkin to eat the magic stone and turn into a monster to accompany her forever.

But she thought that she might die in the process of opening up her spiritual palace, so she didn't want to force it.

The demon pill belonged to the snake, so of course it had to be returned to the snake. However, the child was afraid that the snake would break the jar, which would be too much trouble, so he said, "Please leave your demon pill with me first. I'll give it to you tomorrow."

The snake in the jar said nothing: Stop lying to snakes, take it if you want it, and take my life too.

I'll die if I hold it in for one night anyway.

The child pushed the lid, leaving a small gap for ventilation.

The snake raised its head, then lay down listlessly again.

Suddenly losing their demon pills, all the snakes lost their spirit.

The child and Aunt Yu also had a very poor sleep.

Only Pumpkin was still sleeping as usual, sprawled out in bed. When he woke up, he sniffed the jar and scratched the lid, as if trying to get the contents out.

Aunt Yu quickly put down her work and carried it away: "Melon, melon, pumpkin, don't touch that, it's a snake. I can tell from its head that it's not a good snake. It's not fun to play with. If it bites you, you will die, you know? If you die, you can't eat dried fish or meat, you can't dig in the water bowl, and you can't run around..."

Aunt Yu was afraid that Pumpkin didn't understand, so she talked a lot, telling Pumpkin all his preferences, and then asked him, "Do you understand?"

Pumpkin is already fed up.

What can a kitten understand?

It meowed twice in annoyance, and Aunt Yu took it as an agreement: "Oh, yes, that's all I need to know. Don't go and make trouble again this time."

Aunt Yu put it back on the ground.

The pumpkin held up its tail, walked around to the jar containing the snake, raised its claws, and heard a faint voice from behind: "Pumpkin, pumpkin, little pumpkin, what are you doing?"

Pumpkin sat down pretending not to care, then raised his hind legs and scratched his ears as if nothing had happened, then got up and walked away.

Aunt Yu's gloomy expression subsided, and she revealed a satisfied smile: "Yes, that's what a good cat should be. Pumpkin, come here, I'll give you some dried fish."

The child yawned sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and squatted in the yard, chewing willow branches and brushing her teeth with medicine powder. She did not believe in the so-called good cat. Sure enough, after eating the dried fish, Pumpkin came over and put her mouth close to the cup she used to rinse her mouth, drinking with relish.

It didn't care about the child's stare at all. In a blink of an eye, it finished drinking, stared at the cup for a while, and when it saw that the child was not looking at it, it stretched out its claws and overturned the cup.

"Pumpkin, you're going to get spanked!"

The pumpkin didn't want to. It jumped onto the roof and left without hesitation, in one go, and in a very carefree manner.

It probably didn't eat breakfast at home.

The children don’t have much time to eat because she is very busy.

I got up earlier than usual, but still felt that time was tight.

She grabbed a pancake and ran away with the jar in her hand. She first went to the An family to ask, and when she learned that An Xi had not returned yet, she hurried to the yamen.

But the yamen was closed, and the guard said that An Xi had not returned and should still be outside the city.

The child told him about the ghost, and the bailiff said that he would tell her when Captain An came back, and would also send someone to look for Xu Cong.

The child left and ran back to Zhang's house.

Finish the work with great effort.

He was interrogated again by Zhang Fengci, scolded, had dinner, and then went to the palace to ask for leave.

But Madam Chai refused to give it to her, saying that Eunuch Zhang and Lord An had ordered her not to run around.

If you take her, you can’t send the snake away!

The child didn't dare to run away, so she had to hold the jar in her hand dejectedly, wanting to find someone to keep it for her until she was free.

After hesitating for a moment between Lord An and Zhang Fengci, the child still felt that Zhang Fengci, who always scolded her, was more approachable.

So he took the jar to the shrine, spoke hesitantly, was slapped twice on the hand, and the jar was handed to him.

However, Eunuch Zhang said that she must have been very brave to bring such a thing into the mansion, but the children disagreed. The main kitchen could obviously also stew snake soup, and some of them looked much scarier than hers.

But she didn't dare to say it.

Eunuch Zhang didn't like to hear her talk back, especially when she was bothering him.

Alas, I am actually not very reassured about leaving the child to him.

So I repeatedly warned him to be careful not to touch the lid and not to get bitten.

It's okay that he didn't agree to it out of anger, but the child was afraid that he would run out of energy.

But enlarging the kitchen is obviously not a safe option either.

She had thought about handing it over to Lord An, wanting him to find someone to help her deliver it, but Lord An was that person.

The child had seen him playing with the demon pill more than once when he was in Tude Camp, and he was somewhat skeptical of him.

Afraid that he would take the demon pill away.

This snake doesn't look very smart. It will die easily without the demon pill. It's not easy to practice, so it's better for her to be cautious.

And that ghost also made her worried, after all, it was she who brought it in.

The child planned to go to An's house to inquire after work in the evening.

She was so preoccupied with her own affairs that she didn't pay much attention to her surroundings and almost bumped into Pei Feiming. Fortunately, she was smart enough to hide behind a pillar and escape.

Child:……

"Why would I hide from him?"

Another vexing issue that I can't figure out...
