143 Hairpin Flower
“No.” Lin Suisui smiled at Fang Rui’er confidently. “I caught it because I actually think it can be of great use in dealing with the wolf pack!”
Seeing that Lin Suisui was so confident, no one asked further. They only instructed her to be careful and not let the snake bite her.
Then, they dispersed and busied themselves cutting grass to make straw mats.
However, with Mrs. Song being bitten by a snake previously, everyone was much more careful now!
In order to get work done quicker, they didn’t have to return to the camp at noon. Someone prepared food and sent it to them.
Since everyone was working hard now, Pei Qian was especially generous to the people who were participating in the construction of the defensive line. For lunch, there were two corn pancakes and a bowl of meat soup.
After lunch, everyone rested for a short while before getting up to continue working. This work lasted until the evening. It turned dark early in the winter. Just as everyone got up and returned to the camp, footsteps came from the forest.
Amidst their shock, they saw Lu Ze and the others coming out.
Looking at the bloody corpses of the gray wolves on the climbing plow behind them, the women heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, many people looked at Lin Suisui, who was standing at the side, with envy.
Lu Ze didn’t pay much attention to them. The moment he walked out of the forest, he saw Lin Suisui standing in the crowd. Without any hesitation, he walked towards her.
“There you go.”
To Lin Suisui’s surprise, Lu Ze didn’t come empty-handed this time. He took out a winter plum from behind and handed it to Lin Suisui. “I encountered it on my way back. I thought you might like it, so I picked one and brought it back for you.”
Although Lin Suisui had already become thick-skinned because of the teasing of the surrounding women, she still couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her face was even redder than the winter plum in her hand. Amidst the laughter, Lin Suisui grabbed Lu Ze’s hand and ran towards the camp.
“You don’t like it?!”
Seeing Lin Suisui like this, Lu Ze’s first reaction was that he didn’t like the linoleum he had brought back.
“No, I like it very much.” Lin Suisui blushed and turned to glare at Lu Ze. “However, I… I’m so embarrassed that you gave me winter plums in public!”
“What’s wrong with that? We’re husband and wife. It’s only right for me to give you things!” Lu Ze’s gaze was fixed on Lin Suisui.
He smiled as he picked a winter plum and gently pinned it to Lin Suisui’s bun. “It looks good.”
“But…” Lin Suisui wanted to say that they were just husband and wife on the surface, but she didn’t say it. She secretly glanced at Lu Ze and thought for a moment before hurriedly changing the topic.” Since you’re back, accompany me to look for Pei Qian. I have a suggestion. It might be able to resolve the urgent matter at hand. ”
“I just gave you winter plums.” Lu Ze remained where he was. He frowned slightly and stared at Lin Suisui.
“I like it very much!” Lin Suisui blinked. She didn’t understand what Lu Ze meant and reached out to pull him back. “Hurry up. It’s getting late. It’s going to be dark soon! If we don’t go over and prepare now, I’m afraid it’ll be too late!”
“What’s so urgent?!” Lu Ze sighed in frustration. Although he was unwilling, he didn’t refuse Lin Suisui’s pull anymore. As she rushed to Pei Qian’s tent, he asked Lin Suisui about her condition.
“I happened to obtain something good in the afternoon!” Lin Suisui pulled Lu Ze as they walked and told him about the discovery of the Blazing Fire Snake in the afternoon. Then, she said, “This snake is extremely poisonous. A single drop of poison can kill a cow!
“Most importantly, its snake venom can penetrate the prey it bites to death, causing animals to be poisoned and injured!”
“You caught that snake?!” Lu Ze didn’t hear anything else after Lin Suisui’s introduction. His attention was on what Lin Suisui had said about catching that snake!
She knew that the snake was poisonous, but was still so rash?!
“That’s right! This kind of snake has weaknesses. As long as we find its weakness, it’s very easy to capture it. It’s not dangerous at all!” Lin Suisui raised her hand to untie the pouch at her waist and raised it for Lu Ze to see. “I know how to raise it. Don’t worry, I know my limits. I won’t put myself in danger!”
Lin Suisui could see the worry and concern in Lu Ze’s eyes and quickly explained to him, “I’ve followed my mentor to the southern border before. I’ve caught venomous snakes that are a hundred times more poisonous than this. It’s fine!”
“You’re not allowed to take risks like this next time!” Lu Ze stared at Lin Suisui for a long time. In the end, he couldn’t bear to lecture her. Instead, he pulled her towards Pei Qian’s tent. “You mean, you want to use poison on those wolves?!”
“Previously, I heard you say that wolves eat the corpses of their own kind when they’re extremely hungry! Therefore, when I discovered this Blazing Fire Snake, I thought of this immediately!”
As Lin Suisui and Lu Ze spoke, they had already arrived in front of Pei Qian’s tent. Knowing that they had come to look for him for something, Pei Qian didn’t delay any longer. He put down the unfinished business and let Lin Suisui and Lu Ze go in first.
Naturally, Lin Suisui didn’t delay and quickly told Pei Qian her plan. “Although the snake venom will gradually lose its effect because of dilution, the wolves who ate the corpses in the beginning definitely won’t be able to escape!”
“This is indeed an excellent idea!” After hearing Lin Suisui’s explanation, Pei Qian was naturally overjoyed. Seeing that it was almost dark, he hurriedly called Qian He in and asked him to cooperate with Lin Suisui to make arrangements.
After obtaining Pei Qian’s approval, Lin Suisui quickly brought the Blazing Fire Snake to the pile of wild wolf corpses that Pei Qian and the others had just transported back. Because they were only testing the effect at the beginning, coupled with the limited venom the Blazing Fire Snake could provide at a time, a total of seven wild wolf corpses were thrown in different directions outside the camp.
On the other side, Qian He had arranged for people to release the wolf corpses. On the other side, Lu Ze finally found an opportunity and returned home to settle scores with Lin Suisui!
“I really don’t want to take the risk. I’m confident!” Facing Lu Ze’s accusation, Lin Suisui naturally shouted, “Otherwise, I’m not stupid enough to risk my life!”
