Four Bitten by a Snake

Ding Yao pondered for a moment. Ding Hua didn’t have a good relationship with the original host, but it was still uncertain whether she pushed the original host off the cliff.

Fourth Uncle was a good person. Seeing that Ding Yao didn’t make a sound, his heart ached terribly. “Yaoyao fell and hurt, right? Next time, when you go up the mountain to collect firewood, you have to be more careful, understand? Come, I will carry you home.” As he said this, he was about to go forward, but was stopped by Wang Hongxia. “Fourth Uncle, don’t be nosy. Song Xiuyan just said that he will bring Ding Yao over today. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Fourth Uncle looked at Song Xiuyan, and Song Xiuyan nodded.

Fourth Uncle frowned in disapproval. “Song Xiuyan, I understand the situation at home. It’s already hard for you to raise your younger brothers and sisters. With Yaoyao, can you take care of them?”

Third Aunt also chimed in. “That’s right. Your family hasn’t been the same since your father passed away. I heard that in order to treat your brother’s illness, your family owes a lot of debt. You can’t even have three meals a day. Your mother couln’t stand the hardship and remarried.”

Hearing the mention of his mother remarrying, Song Xiuyan, who had been expressionless all this time, suddenly had a much uglier expression. He directly interrupted Third Aunt’s words, “I don’t need you to worry about the family matters. Since I dare to take Ding Yao over, I definitely won’t starve her.”

Third Aunt looked at the basket Song Xiuyan put aside and let out a long sigh. “You’re also a child. How can you support the family? Do you rely on hunting in the mountains? How much money can you earn?”

Ding Yao blinked her eyes. Song Xiuyan was living such a miserable life? He had led such a miserable life, yet he still insisted on taking her in? Ding Yao wasn’t sure if Song Xiuyan was acting on impulse or if he really had a way to support his family.

As if sensing Ding Yao’s doubt Song Xiuyan gave her a reassuring look and said, “Trust me. I won’t starve you.”

Ding Yao hesitated. She wasn’t afraid of being hungry. The main reason was that she would become Song Xiuyan’s daughter-in-law once she went to his house. Although she didn’t dislike Song Xiuyan, she was unable to accept the fact that she would be tied to Song Xiuyan right after she transmigrated.

Fourth Uncle was still trying to persuade Ding Yao. “Yaoyao, you have to think this through.”

Wang Hongxia opened her mouth. When she saw that Fourth Uncle was going to ruin her plans, she cried and scolded, “All of you only know how to think for Ding Yao. Then why don’t you think about how a woman like me can support my family? Your eldest brother, Ding Qingshan, is disabled and can’t do anything. With Ding Yao in the picture, I don’t think I can live anymore.”

Just as Fourth Uncle was about to speak, a young man’s anxious voice came from the other side of the mountain. “Song Xiuyan! Song Xiuyan! Where are you?!”

Song Xiuyan replied loudly, “Ah-jie, I’m at the bottom of the cliff!”

Ah-jie shouted anxiously, “Song Xiuyan, hurry up! Your second brother was bitten by a snake. It seems to be the King Cobra.”

“King Cobra?” Song Xiuyan’s expression changed drastically. He couldn’t care less about what was happening here and quickly ran up the mountain.

Ding Yao was stunned for a moment. The King Cobra was one of the top ten venomous snakes in the world. After being bitten by it, if it wasn’t treated effectively, people would definitely die! No matter what, she had to go and save people first! Thinking of this, she got up and chased after Song Xiuyan. Just as she ran out, she was pulled back by Fourth Uncle. “Yaoyao, even if you want to go with Song Xiuyan, you have to go home and discuss with your father first. Choose a good day to go over. You can’t just go with someone without any reason.”

Ding Yao used her hand to push Fourth Uncle away. She didn’t want to pull her back. She wanted to save him! Unfortunately, Fourth Uncle wasn’t Song Xiuyan. He couldn’t understand her words, nor could he understand her hand gestures.

Seeing that Fourth Uncle kept pulling Ding Yao, Wang Hongxia swore and threatened him. “If you don’t let Ding Yao go over, then Ding Yao will live in your house from now on. Our family won’t care anymore!”

Fourth Uncle was stunned for a moment. After spending so much time with Wang Hongxia, he knew that Wang Hongxia was a person of her word. If his wife knew that he brought Ding Yao home, wouldn’t she fight with him?

While Fourth Uncle was stunned, Ding Yao quickly shook off his hand and chased after Song Xiuyan without stopping. She lost her strength midway and even secretly drank a few mouthfuls of the spiritual spring water in the herbal field. Although her speed wasn’t as fast as Song Xiuyan’s, she was still much nimbler than her usual self. The people below were all stunned. How did she look like the person who just fell from the cliff and broke her head?

Looking at Ding Yao’s back, Fourth Uncle picked up the basket on the ground and chased after her with some guilt. “Yaoyao, slow down. Be careful of the injuries on your body.”
