Chapter 1045: Helping someone
Yu Dong returned with the syringe filled with anti-venom. Since a life was in danger, she couldn’t bother to act out a scene of looking around for herbs. With the syringe in her hand, she stepped closer to Zhou Xing who was once again surrounded by the women of her team.
” Hurry get away, I need to apply the medicine,” she spoke to Madam Gong and her team.
When Madam Gong heard Yu Dong’s urgent words, she immediately asked her team to step away from Zhou Xing. They left enough space for Yu Dong to crouch down and then rub a greenish ointment. This was an ointment that Yu Dong used to deal with rashes, while everyone was looking at the green ointment, she placed the tip of the syringe against Zhou Xing’s skin and then injected her with anti-venom.
No sooner did Yu Dong inject the anti-venom, Zhou Xing who was twitching violently calmed down. Only then did Yu Dong heave a sigh of relief, just now she was sure that this woman was going to die, a few seconds more and this woman would have gone to meet her maker.
” She is all right now,” Yu Dong told Madam Gong and the rest before standing up, she wiped the dust off her clothes before turning to look at Madam Gong. ” Take her to my house and ask Lang to bring her to one of the guest rooms. Since she will need a few more days before she can get up on her feet.”
Madam Gong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that her team member was all right. She ordered two women to bring Zhou Xing back to Yu Dong’s house while she turned to look at Yu Dong and said, ” The women of my team are quite scared of working in the mountains.”
She turned to look at her team members who were carefully looking around the ground.
Seeing this Yu Dong shook her head and then went to take a torch from a woman.
” Look carefully,” she told them as she walked towards the snake nest where Zhou Xing was bitten. ” When you see a snake nest instead of getting scared, you need to throw this flaming torch in the hole.” She pushed the flaming torch into the hole and then turned to look at Madam Gong. ” This will push the snake to come out on its own.”
As she spoke she looked around the surroundings waiting for the King cobra to slither out of its nest. Yu Dong did not have to wait for long before the cobra slithered out of its nest, snakes were scared of fire and with Yu Dong dumping a flaming torch inside the nest, the King Cobra had no choice but to show itself.
The second it slithered out, Yu Dong narrowed her eyes and then picked up a sharp stone from the ground and hurled it at King Cobra, killing it in one swift move.
” You see that?” She explained to the well-digging team. ” Instead of poking the snake in the eye use your wits, when a snake approaches you, use fire to deflect it.”
Though Madam Gong and the rest were surprised by this newfound knowledge, they were quite excited. If snakes feared fire then it would help them a lot as they had to dig wells in all sorts of places.
” Thank you for your help, Miss Yu,” Madam Gong bowed her head in front of Yu Dong who waved her hand and then turned to look at the mountains. With the help of her core, she could feel the spiritual energy of wild animals—— and the spiritual energy was quite close!
Yu Dong narrowed her eyes before asking Madam Gong to continue digging while she turned around and left for her house. Inwardly she was already thinking of a way to stop the wild animals from coming to the village. With the weather getting hotter and the stream getting dried up, it was inevitable that those wild animals would climb down the mountains.
Maybe she should start building a fence around the village as well as a sturdy gate in front of the village’s entrance. That way the repetition of what happened with Xiao Hua and Ye Liu in the morning would not take place.
Once Yu Dong cleared everything up, she nodded to herself and decided to go looking for a carpenter tomorrow morning. Since Mother Chen was yet to arrive she was going to leave the task of building the fence to the carpenter.
” What happened?” When Yu Dong returned home, she found that everyone was awake. She turned to look at Chen Mi who was sleepy but was still holding up along with others and said, ” Go to sleep, nothing major happened. A worker was bitten by a snake but I dealt with it .”
When Shen Li heard that a worker was bitten by a snake, he couldn’t help but ask, ” Weren’t they digging the well at the bottom of the mountain? How come snakes are making nests so close to the village?”
It wasn’t strange to find snakes in the village but they were mostly non poisonous as for the poisonous ones, they lived deep inside the forest with the rest of the wild animals.
” The stream that flowed past the mountains had turned shallow. Most probably the animals came looking for water,” Yu Dong sighed but when she saw the worried look on the faces of family members, she waved her hand and said, ” There is nothing to worry about. We will cross that bridge when it’s time.”
She then ushered everyone to sleep while she too followed Ye Liu inside the bedroom, seeing that he could not shake Yu Dong off, Ye Liu sighed and then said, ” Only one round.”
Yu Dong’s eyes lit up when she heard Ye Liu’s words, she immediately took off her clothes and pounced at Ye Liu and in no time the entire room was filled with ambiguous sounds along with Ye Liu’s moans.
