I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

Chapter 31 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind

When the two arrived, the two female rabbits were already hopping around in warm-up exercises.

Shen Jiao asked quietly: "What are they doing?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "High jump competition."

Shen Jiao: "High jump???"

Ji Xiaoxi: "Look, they are all jumping onto the big tree in front, trying to see who can jump higher."

Shen Jiao: "Don't mention it, it's true, but why are we squatting here?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "Have you ever heard the story of waiting for the rabbit to come to you?"

Shen Jiao: "I've heard of it, but what does it have to do with us?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "We are the farmer now, let's wait and see."

Shen Jiao: "Hey, there's no need to sit and wait for the rabbits to come. I can catch these two rabbits for you."

Before Ji Xiaoxi could react, Shen Jiao had already stood up. The rabbit that had just jumped in front of her was frightened and hit its head directly against the tree with a bang, knocking it unconscious.

The other one was so scared that it jumped with all four paws and disappeared into the grass in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, oh, it ran away. Xiaoxi, you wait here, I'm going to chase the rabbit." Shen Jiao took the backpack and ran after the rabbit.

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute..." Ji Xiaoxi stood up and wanted to follow, but Shen Jiao ran too fast and disappeared in an instant. She could only pick up the rabbit under the tree and shook it in her hand. "It's quite fat, at least 5-6 kilograms, enough for a meal."

[Host, run! The snake is coming. ]

[Come on, what’s so scary about snakes? What, snakes???]

[You look back. 】

A long, inky black snake emerged from the bushes behind him. It was as thick as a wrist, with its head standing upright, hissing with its red tongue, and its two fangs sending out danger signals.

[Oh my god! It really is a snake. It's the mantis catching the cicada, but the oriole is behind it! ]

Ji Xiaoxi picked up the wild rabbit and ran away quickly without looking back.

But the snake didn't want to let her go so soon. It had been guarding the wild rabbit for so long, but someone got there first. How could it be willing to accept this? It twisted its body and followed Ji Xiaoxi.

[Host, keep running, the snake is catching up. ]

[Where should I run to? I am not familiar with this mountain. I feel like I am getting deeper and deeper into the mountains.]

【Turn right, there is a small path. 】

Ji Xiaoxi followed the instructions of the system, pushed aside the grass and turned right, and a flattened path appeared in front of him.

[People must walk here often, and the road has been trampled out. Can I get back to the main road if I just walk down? ]

【Can. 】

——Hiss, hiss, hiss!

I heard the sound of snakes spitting out their tongues behind me, and it sounded like there was more than one.

[Here it comes again, and there is more than one. 】

[It also called its companions? ]

[Yes, host, run! ]

[Run for it, this downhill road is slippery, if you fall you will be crippled if not dead.]

Ji Xiaoxi threw the wild rabbit into the backpack, looked around on the ground, found a sturdy wooden stick, weighed it in his hand, and smashed it into the bushes on the side.

The moment the grass was pressed down, a yellow-green snake was revealed. It was as thick as two fingers, coiled up, and stared at her with its eyes erect.

A jet-black snake crawled out of the grass on the other side.

[This is terrible, these two have caught up with me, the host is going to die today. 】

【you shut up! 】

Ji Xiaoxi was extremely nervous. He clenched the stick in his hand and quickly recalled the popular science programs he had watched before.

What should you do if you encounter a snake in the wild?

First of all, don't panic and don't attack actively.

Now it’s not a question of whether she is taking the initiative or not, she is the one who has snatched the snake’s prey, and she is doomed.

As she watched the snake, she glanced around to see if there was anything nearby that she could use.

Suddenly, I saw a small piece of familiar herbs at my feet.

——Three-leaf pinellia!

This herb is easy to recognize, with three leaves on a stem, a long green line extending from the middle, and a trumpet-shaped spathe on top.

The medicinal part is the tuber buried at the root in the soil, which is spherical in shape like a peanut.

But in fact the whole plant is poisonous. The juice that flows out is very numbing and has a strong irritation to the digestive tract mucosa, and snakes are very afraid of this juice.

Ji Xiaoxi didn't care about all this. While staring at the snake, he slowly bent down, pulled out a few Pinellia ternata and tied them to a wooden stick.

When she carefully extended the stick, the snake really retreated quickly.

Hey!

It works!

"——Ji Xiaoxi."

The quiet air was destroyed, and a few deep shouts broke the peaceful atmosphere. The ink-black snake that had been observing quietly just now suddenly shot out and opened its big mouth to bite towards Ji Xiaoxi.

"--careful!"

When people are in crisis, muscle reactions are often stronger than brain reactions. Before Ji Xiaoxi could react, he had already swung the stick and hit the snake.

Ji Xiaoxi hit the black snake's stretched body on a tree trunk beside it with a stick, which hit the snake right on the three-inch mark, killing it instantly.

Before Ji Xiaoxi's eyes could shrink, the green snake beside her suddenly stretched out its head and bit her, but Ji Xiaoxi's body had not yet turned around, so she could only watch the green snake's big mouth about to bite her calf.

At the critical moment, a large rock hit her leg and knocked the snake aside.

Ji Xiaoxi reacted quickly, grabbed the stick with both hands, and smashed it madly on the green snake until the snake's head was smashed to pieces.

My heart was still beating violently, and there was a thin layer of sweat on my head, sliding down my forehead.

"Are you okay?" A figure walked over.

Ji Xiaoxi held the stick and shook his head slightly, "I'm fine. I was just too scared just now. My legs are a little weak now."

"Hahaha... Just now I saw you weren't afraid at all, you were very brave."

"Two snakes this big, opening their mouths wide to bite me, how could I not be scared?"

Ji Xiaoxi turned her head slightly to look at the person who came. This person was none other than Jiang Zhou, the youngest son of Aunt Sun next door. She said calmly, "Thank you for what I did just now, otherwise I would have been bitten today."

Jiang Zhou grinned. He looked more like a modern boy band idol, and he looked sunny when he smiled. "You're welcome. I guess it was my shouting that startled the snakes, causing them to suddenly attack you."

Ji Xiaoxi recovered, stood up straight, and asked, "Did you just come to see me?"

Jiang Zhou: "Yes, you and your second sister-in-law got separated, right? I met your second sister-in-law not long after I entered the mountain. She said she got separated from you and asked me to come in to help find you."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Well, let's go find my second sister-in-law first."

Jiang Zhou: "She's down there, let's go down this road and meet her, can you walk?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "I'm fine, wait for me to pick up these two snakes, don't let them scare me in vain."

Jiang Zhou raised the corner of his mouth and stayed there waiting for her.
