Chapter 110 Black Snake
Pan Yingying got up from the floor and took out water from the space to wash.
Yu Chaosheng stood up and took the toiletries she handed him.
The two had just finished washing up in the tent when Hongmei asked outside if they wanted to set up the table. Pan Yingying responded and took out a table and chairs from the space.
The meal was simple, consisting of white rice porridge and two light side dishes, prepared by Chun'er and her sister.
The two little girls are now checking everyone's wounds and explaining the subsequent care.
After dinner, Pan Yingying divided the four purses, and went for a walk in the woods with Yu Chaosheng and Batian. They also went upstream to fetch some spring water and put it into the space.
After fetching water, the two sat on a big rock and let Batian play in the woods.
Pan Yingying spoke first, "Does that sign represent the Fifth Prince's secret guards?"
She felt that she had to find something for Yu Chaosheng to do, so that he wouldn't be always depressed about Qu Xiang's matter, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.
A man has a big butt, so he can't be stingy. He should be generous.
Yu Chaosheng hummed, "Among the people who came to kill us, 300 were Tartars and 200 were the Fifth Prince's secret guards."
Pan Yingying curled her lips when she heard this, "Then the Fifth Prince's secret guard is no good."
This group of rabble can be killed, including the secret guards, who are just eating and drinking.
How could she know that this was the force secretly cultivated by the Fifth Prince. They had not been trained for long at all. They ran into them on their first mission and ended up never returning. When they died, they were stripped naked without even a set of clothes left.
The women in the village now each have a basket in their hands, and are busy altering clothes. Some dexterous men even use needles and thread, which shows how heavy the workload is.
"The people in the capital will probably get the news soon, and we will be exposed soon. Since they have mistaken the former crown prince's orphan for me, let's just continue to make the best of it." Yu Chaosheng pinched the hem of Pan Yingying's skirt, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the soft and smooth fabric.
Pan Yingying was stunned for a moment, "Not good, right? This will put you in danger."
Yu Chaosheng shrugged indifferently, "I'm a man, why should I be afraid of danger? I've already walked through a hail of bullets, why would I be afraid of these things?"
He tilted his head, looked at her curled eyelashes, and whispered, "I would rather be in danger than for you to be in danger."
Pan Yingying didn't hear clearly because Batian howled in the woods, just covering up his words.
Yu Chaosheng pursed his lips and climbed up from the stone, "I'll go take a look."
Pan Yingying extended her hand to him, "I'll go too."
Yu Chaosheng pulled her up with his backhand, jumped off the rock with her, and the two of them ran quickly in the direction of Batian.
They had not run far when they saw Batian rushing towards them with howls, followed by a black shadow as thick as an arm.
Pan Yingying screamed "Oh my god!", turned around and ran away.
Yu Chaosheng narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to pull out the dagger, but felt it was too short. He turned around and wanted to ask Pan Yingying to give him a suitable weapon, but the guy had already run away.
Yu Chaosheng: …
It’s just a black snake as thick as an arm. What is this woman afraid of?
Pan Yingying got goose bumps all over her body. When she found that Yu Chaosheng hadn't caught up with her, she quickly waved at him, "Run!"
Yu Chaosheng laughed out loud at her trembling appearance, "Give me a spear and I'll kill it." Pan Yingying almost wanted to run over and knock him on the head. Is this a joke? What if she gets bitten?
A snake this thick, can it be considered a python?
"Don't be ridiculous! Run!" She waved her hands desperately, and looked at Batian who was running and yelling, "Son! Come here! Run faster! It's going to bite your butt!"
Yu Chaosheng didn't expect Pan Yingying to be afraid of worms. Seeing that she kept telling him to run away, he shook his head and raised his right hand.
With a life-saving arrow tied to his right wrist, he aimed at the black shadow that was running towards him, hit it hard and pressed the switch.
With a "whoosh" sound, the palm-length arrow missed the target, leaving only a scratch. The black shadow was startled and instantly changed direction, swimming towards Yu Chaosheng at a high speed.
“Fuck!” Yu Chaosheng was startled, turned around and ran away, “Run!”
This thing was more than three times faster than the ones he encountered before traveling through time, and he, a former sniper, actually missed it.
If you don't run now, when will you wait?
The two men and the tiger ran out of the woods howling.
"Aoao!" Batian was running in the front, followed by Yu Chaosheng who was pulling Pan Yingying.
"Help!" The two men shouted in unison and ran so fast that one could almost see the afterimages of their legs.
"There's a snake! A really big black snake!" Pan Yingying shouted so loudly that the wind choked her throat and she was coughing so hard that she was out of breath and almost in tears.
Everyone in the camp stood up in unison and took up their weapons.
Yang picked up the sack that had just been emptied and said, "Let me do it!"
Her father was the only snake catcher in the area. When she was young, Yang learned the skill from him and catching snakes was no problem for her.
Wang Li was closest to her, so he ran over to watch the fun. As soon as the grandparents and grandchildren got close, they immediately turned around and ran back.
"Oh my God! That snake is too thick! I have old arms and legs, I can't catch it!" Yang ran faster than her grandson. She was not good at housework, but her eyesight was not affected at her age. She saw from a distance such a thick black snake chasing Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng.
"Grandpa! Dad! Mom! What a big snake!" Wang Li shouted and ran back to his tent. He didn't even dare to watch the excitement. He just wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms for comfort.
The camp exploded with crackling sounds, just like a drop of water falling into an frying pan. The men, holding hoes and swords, came towards Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng in a mighty force.
They wanted to see how powerful the snake was, as it scared Yang.
When they got closer and saw the black snake as thick as an arm, several people's calves began to feel weak.
Old man Pan knocked on his pipe, took out the crossbow that Yu Chaosheng had not yet taken back from his carriage, loaded the crossbow with arrows, trotted over, and pulled the trigger at the long black shadow.
Five arrows were fired at the same time, and the black shadow was immediately nailed to the ground, just 30 steps away from the camp.
The black snake kept struggling and was about to escape from the two crossbow arrows nailed to its body. Old Man Pan had already loaded his crossbow and shot five arrows in a row again.
This time he didn't aim at the vital point, but at the snake's head.
Three of the five arrows were nailed into the black snake's head, but the black snake's body was still twisting, looking scary and disgusting.
The women tried in a panic to cover the children's eyes, but the children had also come through a sea of blood and corpses, and they were not afraid of the snake at all. Their eyes were shining, and they wanted to move closer to see the curio, but were stopped by their parents.
