142 Blazing Fire Snake

“You’re right. In the future, we’ll probably have to take root there. If the border is not peaceful, we won’t be able to live our lives in peace, right?!”

With this woman taking the lead, there were naturally people beside her who echoed her sentiment.

If they could get a piece of land, the more stable the northern region was, the better!

Otherwise, wouldn’t ordinary people like them be the ones to suffer if chaos erupted?!

“Ouch!”

Just as they were chatting happily, a scream suddenly came from the other side. Then, they heard someone shout in panic, “Come, someone, there’s a snake, a snake!”

“How can there be snakes on such a cold day?!”

When they heard the scream, their first response was suspicion.

After all, the snow had sealed the mountain. People were freezing even in thick cotton clothes. The snakes were probably already nesting in the caves. How could snakes run out in such cold weather?!

“It’s really a snake. Mrs. Song has been bitten!” The voice on the other side became sharper and it even sounded like she was crying. This attracted the onlookers’ attention.

Lin Suisui was the fastest. As soon as she heard that a snake had bitten someone, she rushed over. Seeing the rapidly darkening wound, Lin Suisui immediately pulled out the silver hairpin on a woman’s head and stabbed an acupuncture point on her arm. Then, she took out the short dagger that Lu Ze had stuffed into her body for her to protect herself. She made a cut on the wound and quickly squeezed out the black poisonous blood.

It was not until she saw that the woman’s wound had turned from black blood to bright red that she heaved a sigh of relief. She took a handkerchief from the woman beside her and bandaged her wound. Although the little girl had fainted, her complexion didn’t change much. Lin Suisui looked up with a smile and explained to the worried crowd around her in a low voice, “She’s fine. She just fainted from excessive blood loss. She’ll wake up later!

“Let her rest more during this period of time. Give her some food that is easy to digest. Don’t get any water on her injuries. She’ll be fine after resting for a few days!”

“What kind of snake is this? Not only did it come out to bite people in the winter, but it’s also so poisonous!” Hearing Lin Suisui say that the woman was fine, the people around her finally relaxed.

They finally had a chance to talk about the culprit!

“I’ve always heard that there’s a kind of Blazing Fire Snake in the north that’s very rare. It’s not big, but its entire body is as red as fire. Moreover, its body is completely unafraid of the cold. It’s a poisonous snake that can move around freely even in winter!”

Lin Suisui took two steps and squatted down to check the snake hole that had been exposed because the floating grass on the surface had been cut. With just a glance, Lin Suisui could guess what had just happened here. “Mrs. Song must have encountered its nest when she was cutting the grass and alarmed the Blazing Fire Snake inside.”

“This is too dangerous. Madam Liu, stand back quickly so that we can fill this hole!” A woman had already walked over with a shovel, planning to shovel the soil and bury the poisonous snake inside.

“All of you should retreat. I’ll see if I can lure this snake out and catch it!” Despite the women’s kind reminders, Lin Suisui had her own plans.

The Blazing Fire Snake was very rare. The main reason was that its living habits were the complete opposite of other snakes. Other snakes slept in their caves in the winter. In other seasons, they could be seen everywhere. However, the Blazing Fire Snake was different. It was active during the winter, and in other seasons, it slept in its nest!

Originally, Lin Suisui didn’t have any designs on this Blazing Fire Snake, but now that she had encountered it…

How could she let the Blazing Fire Snake off so easily?!

Lin Suisui wanted to catch the Blazing Fire Snake, but how could the women beside her agree?! They all advised her not to take such a risk, but when Lin Suisui really had her mind set on something, no one could dissuade her.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to listen to her arrangements and retreat 40 to 50 feet away while waiting for Lin Suisui to capture the Blazing Fire Snake hiding in the snake cave.

Lin Suisui took off her small pouch from her waist and took out a small bamboo tube. Then, she pulled out the stopper on the bamboo tube and carefully approached the entrance of the cave.

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the Blazing Fire Snake rushed out like an arrow and plunged its head into the bamboo tube…

Lin Suisui was not in a hurry. After waiting quietly for a while, the incomparably powerful red poisonous snake went limp in front of Lin Suisui.

“This is…” Mrs. Luo, who was closest to Lin Suisui and was most worried about her, was completely stunned by the scene in front of her.

Why was this snake so obedient?!

“This kind of snake likes to drink wine.” Lin Suisui reached out and grabbed the little snake before putting it in the little pouch. Then, she sealed it. Her actions were swift and decisive.

Actually, there was something Lin Suisui didn’t reveal.

The Blazing Fire Snake liked to drink. Although they drank ordinary wine, ‘Forgetfulness’ was their favorite!

The result of fighting poison with poison was that this poisonous Blazing Fire Snake couldn’t help but want to drink ‘Forgetfulness’. However, ‘Forgetfulness’ was a secret medicine that could kill creatures!

The result of fighting poison with poison was that after drinking ‘Forgetfulness’, the Blazing Fire Snake would almost instantly lose its mobility, just like now!

“Huh? How can it drink alcohol in the wilderness?!” After hearing Lin Suisui’s explanation, Fang Rui’er couldn’t help but blurt out.

As soon as she said this, Fang Rui’er regretted it. Under the gaze of her mother and sister-in-law, she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth while wishing she could disappear on the spot.

“There are many ways to drink alcohol!” Lin Suisui smiled and explained to her, “For example, a brewery!

Although the Blazing Fire Snake liked to drink wine, its main prey was still rabbits or mountain rats that lived in the forest. Therefore, many times, as long as one found traces of this snake and tempted it with good wine, they could capture it easily.” Lin Suisui smiled at Fang Rui’er and said, “However, ordinary wine can’t completely make it drunk and lose its ability to resist. It has to be special medicinal wine!”

“But why did you catch such a poisonous snake?!” Fang Rui’er looked at the pouch hanging on Lin Suisui’s waist again and couldn’t help but gulp nervously as she asked in a low voice, “What if it wakes up and you get bitten?!”
