The Strongest Abandoned Son
Chapter 60: The Little Green-Eyed Snake
“Old Brother Ye, the tent is a bit rundown, but it is ready. At night, Xiang Fang and I will be in charge of nighttime duties. What if you go in and rest first? ” Guo Qi came out and said.
Ye Mo smiled and said, “No need, you can hand over the duties of the night watchman to me; I like it outside at night. By the way, Brother Guo, you are older than me, so just call me Ye Mo from now on. ”Ye Mo felt that Guo Qi was a good person and appreciated the team spirit, which made him want to befriend him. He didn't like those heartless people.
“OK, then I won't be too polite with you. However, you don't need to call me Brother Guo as well, the people in the army call me Da Qi, you can also call me that too. It's an honor for me to know you as a friend— No, I mean brother. What do you think, Brother Ye? ”Guo Qi is an honest person and does not hesitate.
Ye Mo nodded and said, “This is good.”
Thinking that Ye Mo was roasting a rabbit in the forest casually, Guo Qi did not insist. After all these days, he was indeed tired and went to rest with Fang Wei.
Inside the tent, Lu Lin looked at the contemplative Chi Wanqing and asked, “Wanqing, what do you think of this Ye Mo?”
“Huh ..” Chi Wanqing who was still immersed in her own thoughts was caught off guard. But after his shocking exclamation, he quickly caught up and kept quiet for a while before saying, “I think Brother Ye is a good person, he is very strong and has some sort of ....”
Chi Wanqing repeated it for a while. long time but still not finished articulating the words: “some sort of feeling I missed.”
“Wanqing, you've been coming to the military for about three years and, of course, I know why you came, but as women grow up they need to find a place to belong, to be, yet you never showed a good face to any man in the military. Three years ago, you tried to avoid your father trying to marry you, or maybe it was because of your mother; however, it has been three years. Are you really ready to be like this all your life? Sometimes, when luck comes, you should not reject it, “Lu Lin sighed.
After a while, she continued, “That year, I had just finished high school and was 19 years old, in my teenage years. I just started working in the literacy department of the country where I met him. He's a handsome guy. Not just me, but the other girls in our department love it.
“However, he was very kind to me; he took me out a few times and, half a year later, he even proposed to me. At the time, I was only 19, and I didn't know what to do when a 27-year-old man proposed to me. Although I liked her a lot, I could only tell her that I was very young and ask her to wait. Half a year later, on my 20th birthday, he proposed to me once again.I still want to wait because I really feel young and do not dare to form a family.
“However, since that day, I have never seen him again. He has been gone. I waited another year but still haven't heard from him. At that moment, I thought, as long as she appeared, I was willing to marry her immediately. However, he never showed up again, and I no longer had the desire to work there again, so I came to the military.
“Wanqing, sometimes, there is only one chance. If you lose it, there will be no more. There's no harm in trusting me. I've seen all sorts of people in the military, Ye Mo doesn't seem like a sneaky person. His eyes were not shrewd, he was just a little poor.
“With your family's wealth, do you really care whether he is rich or poor? Besides, there's a saying not to look down on a poor young man.I think if you really like a rich family, you know, you will not refuse the will of your family back then and come to the military, ”Lu Lin sighed contemplatively as if remembering what happened years ago.
“Sister Lin, my feelings towards Brother Ye are not what you say, my feelings are ... huh, I don't know how to explain it .. I'll check Brother Ye,” after saying that, I don't know how to explain, Chi Wanqing was preparing to get out of the tent.
“Hm, Wanqing, you can walk with your feet now?” Lu Lin pointed at Chi Wanqing's feet and said in surprise.
Seeing Chi Wanqing running out of the tent, Lu Lin seemed to be deep in thought. Wanqing looked like himself all those years ago, but Ye Mo didn't seem like the man he met.
At this moment, Ye Mo was sitting on a rock not far away, pondering. He used his soul sense to look at the map he saw today. Ye Mo had thought of the lines on the map many times. Gathering with the words Chi Wanqing helped him interpret today, it was indeed the Taklimakan desert.
Although he was not there yet, he had carefully analyzed the map of China and roughly knew the main region. However, he really did not know where Lake Ku was.
He knew clearly about the Purple Heart Vine. It was the spirit wood used in many pills used during the Chi Gathering State. Although it did not have strict growing conditions, it would definitely not grow in the desert because the most important condition for the growth of this type of spirit wood was water.
The Taklimakan Desert is the largest desert in China, and the average annual rainfall is less than 100mm; during the worst years, there are only a few millimeters of water. Even though Ye Mo was deep in thought, he instantly knew when Chi Wanqing came out. He smiled and thought that even though the girl looked cold, she seemed to grow on him.
Just when Chi Wanqing did not know how to talk to Ye Mo, he saw her turn around, smiling at him, which relieved him as he quickly walked over to her. However, when Chi Wanqing walked behind Ye Mo, his face suddenly changed; a gray snake with a pair of eyes emitting green lights actually charged towards Ye Mo from behind him.
“Not good!” Chi Wanqing heard that the triangular-headed snake was poisonous; however, this snake was not only a triangular-headed but a sharp triangle. Without thinking, Chi Wanqing leaped onto Ye Mo's back.
As the green, triangular-headed snake attacked, Ye Mo felt it. If Chi Wanqing was not responsible, he had a way to avoid it, but now if he wanted to drag Chi Wanqing out as well, it was impossible.
The green-eyed snake almost arrived at the same time as Chi Wanqing. He was right behind Ye Mo, while these green-eyed snakes were coming from several meters away, yet they would arrive at the same time. From here, it could be seen how fast this snake was. The gray snake accurately bit the back of Chi Wanqing which surprised Ye Mo, but he was not too worried because he thought that he could cure the venomous snake bite.
He turned around and carried Chi Wanqing in his hand. Ye Mo saw the green-eyed snake posing not far away, wanting to attack a second time and seemingly targeting him this time. Anger appeared on Ye Mo as he raised his hand and three metal spikes flew out.
“Slip, Slip.” Unfortunately, no nails managed to pierce the snake's head; two of them slid out from its skin, and only one managed to claw a bloody wound. The green-eyed snake seemed to realize that this person was not easy to mess around with and crept away, disappearing immediately.
“Not good! This was not just an ordinary snake, “Ye Mo noticed it because Chi Wanqing's face had already turned gray.
“A very strong poison ..” Ye Mo knows things are getting more terrible.
At this moment, Lu Lin and Guo Qi had already come. Looking at the situation, they all knew that a poisonous snake had bitten Chi Wanqing.
