Chapter 209: Inviting Guests to the Warm Room, Buying Cattle and Horses (2)
However, Zhen'er walked over hesitantly, holding onto Mo Yan's arm with a look of admiration. "Big sister, why did you just throw a stone at that big snake and let it leave? It obediently left?"
Mo Yan felt that she should explain the matter of the red python to him, so that he wouldn't be scared if that thing suddenly came back to the house and frightened him.
"That snake is a red python, which I encountered when I went into the mountains before. This time, it came to our house to find me. If it comes again next time, don't be afraid. If I'm not around, just pretend you didn't see it and don't provoke it."
Zhen'ers eyes lit up even more after hearing this. "Big sister, you're so amazing. Even such a big snake is willing to play with you. Can you call it to our house next time? I really want to touch it." That big snake looks so majestic!
"No way!" Mo Yan refused without hesitation. "Although it won't harm me, it might harm you. How can we bring such a dangerous creature into our house?"
She didn't want the red python to come find her at all, so she naturally wouldn't bring it home voluntarily. Besides, if the villagers found out, they might have bad intentions. After all, such a big snake could fetch a good price if hunted and sold!
"Well then…"
Zhen'er felt a little disappointed, but he admired his big sister even more in his heart.
Seeing that Xin'er wouldn't wake up for a while, Mo Yan asked Zhen'er to stay and watch over her while she went out to see if that thing had left. If it hadn't, and it frightened the villagers passing by near their home, it wouldn't be good.
Mo Yan's yard was large, with a foundation of seventy mu enclosing sixty mu, so there was not only the main gate but also a small side gate in each direction for convenience.
Mo Yan opened the side gate on the east side, which was where the red python had crawled in from.
Just as she stepped out, she saw that thing lazily lying under the courtyard wall. When it saw Mo Yan come out, its snake eyes brightened, and it swam over quickly.
"Your wounds have all healed. You should go back to the mountains. Why did you come to find me? You've frightened my sister."
Seeing that there was only a shallow mark left on its abdomen, indicating that it had recovered well, but it still scared people as soon as it came, Mo Yan kicked it without mercy.
The red python hissed innocently, indicating that it was innocent. It had never left the mountains before and didn't know that humans were so timid. If it knew it would scare people, it would have come quietly at night without being noticed.
Knowing why it had come, Mo Yan took it to a secluded place and took out a small basin of Spirit Spring water from the space, as well as a basket of eggs and a basket of fruits.
Originally, she wanted to catch some chickens for it, but when she thought about how it had scared Xin'er unconscious, she just withheld the chickens directly.
Seeing these good things, the red python was so moved that it wanted to shed tears. This human kept her promise and gave it so many delicious things all at once. Sob, it didn't want to leave this human anymore.
Seeing this thing devour all the food in three to five, Mo Yan's eyes twitched. After sending it away, she became even more determined not to let it come back to find her.
The red python, feeling satisfied, shook its tail contentedly. However, it didn't know that its wish to cling to Mo Yan's leg was about to be dashed, thinking about coming back tomorrow. Over time, this human might decide to keep it.
It didn't consider that it was so big, and unlike Xiao Hua, it couldn't pretend to be a dog and stay in Mo Yan's house. How could Mo Yan possibly keep it? Therefore, when Mo Yan said sternly that it should never come again, the red python's longing heart shattered into pieces in an instant.
Listening to the continuous hissing of the red python, constantly rubbing against Mo Yan's legs with its large head, begging her to change her mind.
