Ji Xiaoxi picked up the snake with a stick, rolled it around the stick and carried it away.

Jiang Zhou: "That inky snake is poisonous."

Ji Xiaoxi looked down and saw a flat head. Flat heads are usually poisonous. She asked, "What kind of snake is this? Do you know it?"

Jiang Zhou: "Cobra, if you don't know how to deal with it yourself, you can sell it to Doctor Sun at the clinic and make a little money."

Ji Xiaoxi was delighted. "Okay, I'll take this snake to him to have a look. If it's not poisonous, I'll take it back and cook it."

Jiang Zhou leaned over to take a look and said, "This one is not poisonous. We caught it before and fried it and it tasted pretty good."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Really? Then I'll fry it and eat it when I get home. Do you want to come to our house for dinner? Just consider it a thank you gift."

She didn't want to owe anyone anything for no reason. In this world, favors are the hardest to repay.

Jiang Zhou smiled and said, "Sure, it's the wild vegetable dumplings you taught my mom to make last time. Can you make some more this time?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "Okay, I just happened to pick some fresh wild vegetables today."

After they walked for a while, they heard Shen Jiao's voice coming from below.

"——Xiaoxi, you are scaring me to death."

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I was chased by a snake just after you left. I didn't mean to leave you behind."

"Being chased by a snake? Are you hurt?"

"I wasn't hurt, and I killed two snakes. I can have an extra meal tonight."

Ji Xiaoxi proudly held up the two snakes and motioned for Shen Jiao to look at them.

Shen Jiao was shocked when she saw the two snakes wrapped around the stick, especially because one of the snakes had its head smashed.

"Is this snake not poisonous? Xiaoxi, you are so brave."

"Brother Jiang said this one is not poisonous. We will take this poisonous cobra to the clinic and sell it to Doctor Sun later."

Shen Jiao stared at the cobra for a long time, and raised her thumb in admiration, "Xiaoxi, you are this, you even dare to hit a cobra. People in the village say that this cobra is the king of poison and can bite people to death."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Hehe, luck is all luck."

Jiang Zhou smiled and added, "Luck only accounts for a part of it. When Xiaoxi was beating the cobra, he was steady, accurate and ruthless, and he didn't miss a single one."

Shen Jiao: "Were you there at the time?"

Jiang Zhou: "Well, I just happened to see a cobra being beaten to death with a stick."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Luckily Brother Jiang arrived, otherwise I would have to deal with two snakes by myself. I would definitely go home with some injuries today, and there would be no chance for extra meals. I will cook the snakes tonight, make some wild vegetable dumplings, and add a few stir-fried dishes."

Jiang Zhou: "Just a snake and some wild vegetable dumplings will be enough. I can be full just by eating the wild vegetable dumplings."

Shen Jiao came back to her senses, "Oh~, I was wondering why you were so enthusiastic before, it turns out you wanted to eat the wild vegetable dumplings made by Xiaoxi."

Jiang Zhou touched his nose and said, "Don't expose me in front of me, it will make me look like I have ulterior motives."

Shen Jiao: "I'm not innocent to begin with, but since you saved Xiaoxi, I won't bother with you."

Ji Xiaoxi: "I have already taught Aunt Sun how to make wild vegetable dumplings. This time I will make another kind of wild vegetable dumplings for you to try."

Shen Jiao: "Great, I'm in for another treat today."

After they went down the mountain, they went to the health center first.

When Doctor Sun saw the cobra, his hands trembled and he asked Ji Xiaoxi in surprise how he killed it.

Ji Xiaoxi: "It was just luck. He was killed with just a casual hit."

But Doctor Sun didn't believe it at all. It was a cobra, and this cobra was as thick as a wrist. It was not an ordinary small snake. How could it be killed with just a casual hit?

He already secretly felt that Ji Xiaoxi was a hidden talent.

Ji Xiaoxi: "Doctor Sun, how much can this snake be sold for?"

Doctor Sun: "10 yuan."

Jiang Zhou squeezed over and said, "Doctor Sun, look at how big this snake is. How can it only be sold for 10 yuan? If you want to sell it like this, then we can sell it in town."

Doctor Sun glared at him and said, "15 yuan at most. If you want more, you can go to town to sell it. You have to pay for travel expenses when you get to town. Anyway, the money you get won't be much higher than what I pay."

Ji Xiaoxi: "How about this, 30 yuan for one price. Don't lie to me. I know that poisonous snakes are valuable. Snake meat, snake skin, snake gallbladder, snake venom, all have different uses. Besides, my snake is not small. It weighs at least 6 kilograms."

Doctor Sun sighed, "Okay, since you know so much about snakes, I won't bargain with you. Just 30 yuan."

Ji Xiaoxi was secretly delighted but didn't show it on the surface. "Thank you, Doctor Sun. I'll come to you next time I catch a snake."

Doctor Sun laughed and looked at the other snake. "Would you like to sell this one? But it's not worth 30. Its head is smashed."

Ji Xiaoxi: "We won't sell this one. We'll keep it for eating at home."

Doctor Sun: "Okay, here's 30 yuan, count it."

There were only three big unity notes. Ji Xiaoxi took a look at them and put them in his pocket.

This was the first money she earned here, and she was so happy.

In fact, when she was bargaining just now, she was also hoping for a lucky break, and pretended to be very knowledgeable about snakes when she quoted a price. After all, bargaining is a back-and-forth process, and who knew that Dr. Sun would agree so readily.

This made her always feel that the price was too low.

As they walked out of the clinic, Shen Jiao couldn't wait to speak, "Xiaoxi, I was so nervous just now. How dare you ask for 30 yuan right away? I can't even think about it!"

Ji Xiaoxi chuckled: "I also made up a story, but who knew he would agree to it? I thought I had reported too low a price."

Jiang Zhou: "It's not cheap. Normally, the venomous snakes they catch sell for 15 yuan at most. Yours is already the most expensive one."

Shen Jiao: "30 yuan, that's almost my third sister's monthly salary as a teacher."

Ji Xiaoxi: "We made money. Let's go home and make something delicious."

Having earned the money, the three of them walked home with a lighter pace, singing all the way as the sun set.

When she got home, Shen Jiao, who was known as a loud speaker, immediately reported Ji Xiaoxi's "highlight clips" to her family after she had unilaterally edited it into another version.

Shen Jiao's tone was still a little excited: "The poisonous king cobra in Xiaoxi was sold for a full 30 yuan. The snake's wrist was so thick that it was scary.

She just swung the stick and the snake died.

If I saw a cobra, my legs would go limp with fear.

I think we usually underestimate Xiaoxi. She is usually so weak, but she is not afraid of the cobra at all. She is worthy of being the fourth brother's wife. She is just like him."

Ji Xiaoxi: “…” Just praise her, why bring Lu Jingchuan up with you?

Du Yumei was a little scared and held Ji Xiaoxi back: "Xiaoxi, next time you encounter a snake, don't hit it with a stick. This time was a fluke, but next time it might not be so. Let's hide if we can, and run if we can."

Ji Xiaoxi comforted her, "Mom, I know. I won't dare to do it again next time. I was actually scared to death at that time."

Du Yumei patted her on the shoulder and said, "However, your personality is really similar to Jingchuan's. You dare to do it even though you are afraid. It's true that people from the same family are alike."

Ji Xiaoxi: "...Mom, can I give you this thirty dollars?"

Du Yumei pushed it away: "No, you earned it yourself, you can take it."

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoxi took it without hesitation. This was her first pot of gold and it was very commemorative.
