Chapter 208 The show is about to begin, someone's in for trouble!
Zhou Yingzhi and Zhuang Jingmo were exhausted, but Jiang Ning was not tired at all. Instead, she took the initiative to carry their bottled water. They brought four bottles of water, and with Jiang Ning's own water, it weighed several kilograms!
It's incredible that Jiang Ning can carry such a heavy burden and yet walk so easily.
“I’m not tired,” Jiang Ning continued, “It’s probably because I exercise regularly. You guys rest first, I’ll be right back.”
After saying that, Jiang Ning walked to the other side.
If she wasn't mistaken, there was an amaranth growing in a crack in the rocks not far away.
Iron amaranth can treat dysentery and infantile malnutrition, and it is a relatively rare herb found in the wild.
Zhou Yingzhi unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big gulp of water, then looked at Zhuang Jingmo, "How is it, Third Brother? Do you feel that Shengbao is different from other girls now?"
"People who exercise regularly are indeed much better physically than us. Is that something special?" Zhuang Jingmo asked rhetorically.
Zhou Yingzhi continued, "But she also recognized the origin of your name at a glance! Even I didn't know the meaning of your name!" This kind of behavior would be reserved for the female lead even in a novel.
"She's a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so it's not surprising that she knows these things, is it?" Zhuang Jingmo asked rhetorically.
Zhou Yingzhi: "..."
good good!
He won.
Zhou Yingzhi didn't want to talk to Zhuang Jingmo anymore. She was afraid that Zhuang Jingmo would make her so angry that she would die. She tightened the cap of the mineral water bottle and was about to stand up and continue climbing the mountain when, in the next second, her face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Jingmo looked at Zhou Yingzhi.
Zhou Yingzhi's hand trembled as she pointed forward, "Third, Third Brother, look..."
Zhuang Jingmo immediately looked in the direction Zhou Yingzhi was pointing, and what he saw shocked him into breaking out in a cold sweat.
I saw.
A venomous snake, its tongue flicking, was coiled on a dead tree in front of them.
And they were only one step away.
Zhuang Jingmo lowered his voice, "Don't panic, as long as we don't move, it shouldn't attack us on its own."
“Okay, okay…” Zhou Yingzhi gripped Zhuang Jingmo’s arm tightly, her whole body trembling.
call out!
Just then, the venomous snake, which had been coiled there motionless, suddenly lunged forward. Just as it was about to bite Zhou Yingzhi's leg, Zhuang Jingmo stepped in front of Zhou Yingzhi and closed his eyes tightly.
Although his health was a bit poor, he was still the older brother, and as the older brother, he should have the responsibilities of one.
In that instant, Zhuang Jingmo was already prepared to be bitten by a venomous snake.
But the expected stinging sensation never came.
Instead, Zhou Yingzhi's shocked voice rang in her ears, "My God, Shengbao, you're amazing!"
Zhuang Jingmo then opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Ning holding the snake by its vital spot with his left hand and a fruit knife in his right hand. He cut open the snake's abdomen, took out a green snake gall, and swallowed it.
That whole move was incredibly cool!
Zhuang Jingmo and Zhou Yingzhi were both dumbfounded.
Swallowing snake gall raw?!
Ironically, Jiang Ning did all this with a bright and cheerful demeanor, without any sense of incongruity, and without getting a single drop of blood on her hands.
Zhuang Jingmo never expected that Jiang Ning could catch a venomous snake with her bare hands, let alone swallow a snake gall bladder whole. His brain simply shut down!
Zhou Yingzhi swallowed hard, then asked, "Shengbao, can snake gallbladders be eaten raw?"
“Strictly speaking, it’s not edible because snakes live in the wild and have many parasites on their bodies. So I always take some special medicine when I swallow snake gallbladders.” After saying that, Jiang Ning took out a small bottle from her bag, poured out a small pill, and swallowed it.
Zhou Yingzhi then asked, "What are the benefits of swallowing snake gallbladders raw?"
"It has the effects of improving eyesight and clearing heat and detoxifying," Jiang Ning replied.
Zhou Yingzhi nodded.
Zhuang Jingmo was also very shocked; he had only ever read about swallowing snake gallbladders in books.
This is the first time I've ever experienced this in real life.
This feeling!
How peculiar!
After swallowing the snake gall, Jiang Ning glanced at his watch. "Huanhuan and the others have reached the top of the mountain. Let's hurry and meet up with them."
The main force has now reached the summit.
Zhou Yingzhi and Zhuang Jingmo fell behind due to physical limitations, while Jiang Ning fell behind because of the medicinal herbs in the mountains.
"Row."
Half an hour later, the three of them successfully reached the top of the mountain.
Yunshan Mountain has not been developed, and there are few traces of human intervention on the mountaintop. It is springtime, and the mountaintop is full of azaleas because of the abundant sunshine.
A sea of red.
On the other side of the azaleas, there is a stream.
Xu Ruoying suggested, "Let's have a picnic here at noon!"
“Great idea!” Zeng Huanhuan immediately agreed. “We’ll have the cooking utensils delivered by drone.”
The others all nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yingzhi continued, "Since we're going on a picnic, let's go find some wild vegetables and mushrooms now! I'll send you some pictures of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and we'll go find them together."
The people present were all pampered young ladies and gentlemen, and upon hearing this, they found it very novel. They opened the illustrated guide sent by Zhou Yingzhi and began to look for wild vegetables.
Because Yunshan Mountain was undeveloped and the signal was poor, the group didn't dare to go too far and searched nearby.
Suddenly, Xu Ruoying screamed and stood in a pile of dry grass, saying, "Look everyone, I found something! Bird eggs! We'll have bird eggs for lunch!"
Xu Ruoying held a pile of white bird eggs in her hand.
But these bird eggs are different from the bird eggs we usually see; they are stuck together.
Zhou Yingzhi also found some bird eggs in the withered grass and said happily, "I found some too!"
Seeing that the two had both found bird eggs, the crowd immediately came over.
Soon, a third person found bird eggs in the dry grass.
Just as everyone was overjoyed, Jiang Ning walked over from the side and said seriously, "Put them down quickly! These aren't bird eggs, they're king cobra eggs. King cobras are currently in their egg-laying season, and they are irritable and easily angered. They also have an exceptionally keen sense of smell, hundreds of times stronger than a human's. Once they detect the scent of a stranger in their nest, they will relentlessly pursue that person, even if it means climbing several mountain peaks, until they bite their victim and exact revenge. That's why king cobras are also called 'mountain peaks'!"
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, everyone was so frightened that they immediately put the snake eggs back where they were and left the dry grass.
Zhou Yingzhi immediately walked up to Jiang Ning and said with lingering fear, "What should I do, Shengbao? I just touched Shanfeng's egg. Will it come looking for me at my house tonight?"
The others also looked terrified.
I wish I hadn't gone to collect the eggs!
"I have some cleansing pills here. Anyone who has touched snake eggs should take one." After saying that, Jiang Ning took out a bottle from her bag and poured out a few pills.
"Ruoying, won't you take one?" Zhou Yingzhi swallowed the cleansing pill and asked Xu Ruoying.
Xu Ruoying was not afraid at all. Instead, she put the snake egg into her backpack and said disdainfully, "What do you mean by 'crossing the mountain peak'? In my eyes, it's just an inhuman beast!"
At this point, Xu Ruoying looked at Jiang Ning with a sarcastic expression in her eyes, "It's true that the lower the education level, the greater the harm to society."
"I'd like to see if this beast can follow the scent and crawl 100 kilometers to my house to take revenge, even though I've already brought the snake eggs back!"
