The red snake's letter was less than an inch away from her nose.

Ming Ying flicked her hand and the red snake was thrown into the earth and stone formation.

It was only then that she finally came to her senses, and her back was already soaked.

The half-crouched body fell to the ground, with no strength at all.

You were careless, you were so careless! Something almost happened!

If her hands and reactions had been slower just now, she would have become a corpse now!

In her previous life, she had seen killers hiding poisons and snakes on their bodies, but because the four brothers and sisters of the Ming family were just ordinary people, anyone with some skills could easily kill them, so there was no need to use any other means.

Therefore, Mingying was not prepared at all.

Mingying took a few deep breaths and gained wisdom. Fortunately, the dead man didn't smear poison on her body, otherwise she would have died at this time.

If she really died like this, she would probably be the most miserable person to die in time travel.

Mingying took out a dagger and cut the clothes on Qin Shiyi's right arm, and two more things fell out.

It looks exactly the same as the bag containing the red snake just now, but judging from the shape, there shouldn't be a snake inside.

However, Mingying didn't dare to touch it with her hands and used a long ironwood needle to open it, including the red snake's previous cloth bag. There seemed to be something inside.

She touched something like that at that time, which seemed to be a small bottle. If she touched a red snake, she would definitely be wary.

The contents of several cloth bags were revealed in front of Mingying. Along with the red snake was a small porcelain bottle.

This thing was packed together with the red snake and hidden in Qin Shiyi's sleeve. Mingying guessed that it should be something belonging to the red snake.

She covered her nose and used a long needle to uncork the bottle.

A pungent smell came out, and even though she was on guard, it still overpowered her, so she quickly blocked it.

Sure enough, I guessed it right, it’s something that can kill red snakes!

In her previous life, she had dealt with the killer who played with snakes, and was very familiar with the smell of snake-killing medicine.

Although the smell is not exactly the same, it does smell something familiar.

There were two other cloth bags, one was a small flute-like thing, which should let the red snake listen to instructions, and there was a small green bottle. Mingying opened it and smelled it. It was the antidote applied after being bitten by the snake.

The other thing was a gray-white powdery substance with no smell, but Mingying didn't recognize it.

But it didn't look like poison. Mingying put the things away and took a look at the red snake in the formation.

The red snake was shorter than an ironwood needle and only as long as her forearm. It was hiding in the gap between two rocks.

The soil is rising, and stones are raining down from above. Because there are gaps between the stones, and the red snake is hiding in the gaps, this formation cannot do anything to it for a while.

Mingying originally wanted to kill it, but after seeing the things she just found, she changed her mind.

She removed the earthen formation and placed a small stone formation around the red snake just to trap it. The red snake swam quickly in the stone formation and was dizzy because the snake had poor eyesight and was more likely to be bumped into.

However, this red snake seemed to be very smart. After being bumped a few times, it simply stopped moving and lay there huddled in a small ball.

"I want to keep you for my use, but you have to listen to me. I don't know how other people train snakes. I can only use my own method."

The snake-playing killer in her previous life didn't tell her how to train snakes. That was his cooking skill, and Mingying had no interest in learning it.

Not many girls like to be with such slippery things, and Mingying is no exception.

But things are different now. She doesn't have many trump cards to protect herself and her brothers.

Mingying picked up a long ironwood needle and stabbed the red snake with just the right amount of force. It only penetrated the snake's body, hurting it but not killing it.

The red snake was frightened by the pain, and opened its big mouth to fight back fiercely. Unfortunately, it was in the formation, how could it bite Mingying?

After it went crazy for a while, Mingying stabbed it with a long ironwood needle again.

Several times like this, the red snake seemed to have noticed something, and did not dare to resist anymore, and just lay there obediently.

Mingying stopped pricking it, "If you are alive in a few days and if you are obedient, I will keep you."

"Sister! We caught the pheasant!" Ming Tao's loud and cheerful voice came from far to near.

Mingying quickly buried the red snake in snow, wrapped Qin Shiyi's things in the clothes on his sleeves, and buried them in the hole dug before.

Then, "Wow!" Mingying cried and ran out of the forest.

"Brother...Brothers, there...there are dead people there, I'm afraid!"

When the three Minghai brothers heard Mingying's cry, their faces turned pale with fright and they ran over with all their strength.

"Brothers, there..." Mingying pointed her little finger at Qin Shiyi in the forest, and hid behind Minghai. Her whole body was shaking, as if she was greatly frightened.

The three brothers looked over and saw a huge man lying on the snow. The clothes on his right arm were torn open, revealing his powerful muscles.

The blood on his head stained the snow red, and there was blood on his face. His eyes were wide open, but there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him look extremely scary.

At this moment, Mingying suddenly realized that the smile was not because she thought she would not be able to retract it after it hit her, but because of the red snake.

He thought she would be caught off guard and die from the mouth of the red snake.

"Eldest brother, second brother, is this person... a dead soldier?"

Because the distance was not too far, Mingze saw the emblem on his belt with a human head and a bird's body, which was exactly the same as the four dead soldiers before.

"Second brother, go and call the village chief."

Ming Tao was holding a pheasant upside down in his hand. The wings and feet of the pheasant were tied to death with dead vines.

He stuffed the pheasant into Mingze's arms and ran towards the village quickly.

Mingying secretly touched the pheasant's tail and said, "Ding, 200 new points have been added, and the remaining points are 7453."

"You have enough points to redeem, do you need to redeem?"

Soon, the village chief came with Grandpa Mute and two villagers, and Luo Shitou also ran with Ming Tao.

The village chief checked and confirmed that he was from the same group as the previous dead soldiers. "Aren't they all dead? Why is there still one?"

The village chief was puzzled, "Did the expert kill this before? Could it be that he has been lying in wait around here for ten days?"

Luo Shitou glanced at Mingying. Needless to say, Mingying must have killed this person.

It's a pity that Mingying didn't let him tell his father, otherwise he would be shocked.

Even the village chief couldn't figure out the reason, and the mute grandpa and others couldn't figure it out either.

"Forget it, just bury it."

Anyway, the person who died was a dead soldier. If you don’t know the reason, you don’t know. The village chief doesn’t worry about it anymore.

Grandpa Dumb and others dug a hole next to where the dead man was buried before, pulled Qin Shiyi in and buried him casually.

Luo Shitou looked at the pheasant in Mingze's arms and said with envy: "Did you catch a pheasant this time? That's great! Can you let me touch it?"

No one paid attention to him.

Minghai pulled Mingying out from behind and touched her head, "It's okay, sister, don't be afraid, my brothers are here and they will protect you."

Mingtao and Mingze also surrounded Mingying and comforted her.

Luo Shitou:......

I couldn't help but quietly rolled my eyes, wondering who was protecting whom!

Ming Tao knelt down and said, "Sister, I will carry you back."

Mingying had just struggled a lot, but she really didn't have much strength, so Mingtao carried her on his back.

"Go directly to my house." Luo Shitou said, "Let grandma help you take care of the pheasants."

Ming Hai and others originally planned this, mainly because Ming Ying was frightened and they wanted Grandma Luo to have a look.

Several people went to the village chief's house. Minghai told Mingying that she was frightened, and Grandma Luo hurriedly came to see Mingying.

Last time Mingying saw her grandmother's body, she was almost scared to death. If it happened again this time, Grandma Luo was afraid that she would go directly.

Unexpectedly, except for Mingying's face being a little pale, everything was normal.

"I'm fine, Grandma Luo, I've grown up." Mingying said softly, "Those are bad guys who want to kill me and my brothers. I'm not afraid anymore."

Grandma Luo nodded happily and took the pheasant to deal with it.

After she finished handling the pheasant, the village chief and Grandpa Dumb also came back. They were only looking at Qin Shiyi's body and didn't notice the pheasant in Mingze's arms.

The village chief didn't think much about it and just sighed: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. It seems that God is on your side." Otherwise, other people couldn't catch hares and pheasants, so how could their family catch hares and pheasants?

Luo Shitou rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Oh my god, this is all Mingying's fault!"

"It's noon now. I don't have time to go to town and come back. I'll help you change rice tomorrow."

It’s still the old rule, keep half for yourself and exchange half for rice.

This pheasant weighs about four pounds. The game in the snow is quite valuable. Half of it can probably be exchanged for the same amount of rice as the hare last time.

"Thank you, village chief."

"Little Fatty Luo, I'll leave a piece of chicken for you at noon." Before leaving, Mingying whispered, and Luo Shitou nodded understandingly.

"I will be seven years old in a few days. My father said he would go to the town to buy some meat and come back. Then I will invite you over for dinner."
