108: Chapter 108: There are Snakes 108: Chapter 108: There are Snakes After setting the large pot in place, Chen Yang turned and went back to the kitchen to bring out the wild mushrooms and also fetched two pairs of bowls and chopsticks for the won.
At that mont, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t hold back her curiosity and reached out to lift the lid of the pot.
Instantly, a rich aroma of at wafted from the pot.
Slling the strong at fragrance and seeing the tenderly cooked at and thick soup, both won couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
“What is this?
It looks so delicious!” Yang Ruoxi said while swallowing.
Seeing her look like a little greedy cat, Chen Yang chuckled, “This is ga at, made with my secret recipe.
It’s really delicious!
You should try it.”
“Okay.”
The two won quickly nodded, then pulled out their bowls and chopsticks and began to pick at the at, tasting it,
After one bite, they couldn’t stop praising it.
Their reaction was exactly like Wu Kexin’s when she first ate wolf at at Chen Yang’s house!
“Chen Yang!
It’s really delicious!
What did you use to make this?” Yang Ruoxi asked, full of curiosity and admiration as she looked at Chen Yang.
“Haha, that’s a secret.” Chen Yang laughed and then continued eating.
Seeing Chen Yang wouldn’t say, Yang Ruoxi didn’t press further and picked up her chopsticks to keep eating.
Yang Ruoxi was naive; when she truly considered Chen Yang a friend, she didn’t have many reservations.
But Li Han was different.
She was a career woman, so whatever the situation, she always maintained her image.
So even though she also couldn’t stop eating, her manner was much more restrained than Yang Ruoxi’s.
The three of them sat inside, eating heartily for more than an hour before they finally stopped.
After finishing the at, each person also drank a bowl of delicious wild mushroom soup,
“Ah~ This wild mushroom is still as fresh as ever!” Yang Ruoxi exclaid in praise.
“Of course, I made the soup with them imdiately after picking them.” Chen Yang chuckled.
Hearing this, the two won exchanged a smile and then sat on stools to rest for a while.
It wasn’t long before Li Han’s phone suddenly rang.
She answered, spoke a few words, and then imdiately indicated they had to leave.
Hearing they were leaving, Chen Yang stood up, “Why are you leaving so soon?
Why don’t you stay longer?”
“Hehe, it’s already afternoon, and it won’t be long before it gets dark.
We should get going, but we’ll co visit you again another ti,” Li Han replied with a smile to Chen Yang, and pulled Yang Ruoxi to the clinic’s exit.
Knowing they had to leave, Yang Ruoxi’s face showed so reluctance, but she didn’t say much.
She had to follow Li Han.
“Alright then, take care on the road, co visit when you have the ti, and call if anything cos up.
Maybe I can help,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
“Mhmm.”
Li Han nodded, then waved goodbye with Yang Ruoxi and drove off in their luxury car.
Chen Yang watched as the two won drove away, then turned and tidied up the bowls and chopsticks.
…
Ti quickly reached sunset.
Seeing the sun set, and not having seen Wu Kexin, Chen Yang felt puzzled.
“Didn’t she say she would help talk to Aunt Zhang?
Why is there no news from her now?”
With nothing else to do at ho, Chen Yang decided to take the initiative to go to the village office to look for Wu Kexin and ask about the situation with Aunt Zhang.
While the sunset glow still lingered, Chen Yang reached the village office and found Wu Kexin in the office.
Possibly because it was almost dark, Wu Kexin had already taken a bath and changed into more casual clothes.
Knock knock.
Chen Yang knocked on the office door.
At the sound, Wu Kexin lifted her head and saw Chen Yang at the door,
“How co you’re here?”
Chen Yang walked in, “I ca to ask about the matter with Aunt Zhang.”
“Oh, I see,” Kexin said.
“Aunt Zhang agreed, said it’s fine to rent for two thousand a year, if there’s no issue, we can pay the rent tomorrow.”
“When did you finalize this?
Why didn’t you tell about it?” Chen Yang pulled up a stool and sat in front of Kexin to ask.
Kexin bowed her head, apparently writing sothing on the table.
“I’ve been really busy, okay?
And even if I had told you, we couldn’t have paid today, so I thought I’d find you tomorrow,” Kexin said, still looking down.
“Oh, all right then.”
Chen Yang nodded, then did not speak again.
He also did not make any movent but just quietly sat opposite Kexin.
At first it was okay, but after a while, Kexin, noticing that Chen Yang still hadn’t left, spoke up, “Is there anything else?”
“No,”
Chen Yang shook his head.
“Why don’t you leave when it’s getting dark?
Do you want to let you stay here overnight?” Kexin said unpleased.
“Haha, sure, I wouldn’t mind at all!” Chen Yang joked.
Kexin rolled her eyes without a word.
“Dream on!”
With that, Kexin stood up, seemingly having finished her task.
Since Kexin had left, Chen Yang naturally wouldn’t stay in the office any longer.
So he followed Kexin to the door.
Seeing that they were at the door and Chen Yang was still following, Kexin blushed and said, “What is it, do you really want to let you stay here overnight?”
“Of course, you can’t go back on your word, village chief,” Chen Yang continued to tease with a smile.
“Rascal.”
Kexin, annoyed, glanced at Chen Yang, then directly closed the door.
Chen Yang knew very well that Kexin would not let him stay overnight; his behavior was just ant to tease her, nothing more.
Seeing the door closed, Chen Yang touched his nose and left sulkily.
When he got ho, Chen Yang prepared to wash up and go to sleep.
But at that mont, Zhang Xueying suddenly arrived.
Zhang Xueying looked very rushed and was visibly panicked.
“Brother Chen Yang, please co to my house to check…
there’s a snake in my house…” Zhang Xueying said breathlessly.
Chen Yang looked at her heaving chest and said, “A snake?
I’ll co and have a look.”
With those words, Chen Yang followed Zhang Xueying quickly towards her ho under the cover of night.
“When did you co back?
Where’s Xiaoxiao?” on the way, Chen Yang asked.
“I just got back not long ago.
I’m planning to stay at my parents’ place more often, so I ca back to gather so clothes.
That’s when I encountered the snake,” Zhang Xueying said, her face pale.
“So you ca back alone today?” Chen Yang continued to ask.
“Yes,” Zhang Xueying nodded.
As they talked, they arrived at Zhang Xueying’s house.
Entering the main room, Chen Yang looked around and asked, “Where’s the snake?”
Zhang Xueying, pale-faced, pointed to her room and said, “In the wardrobe in my room…
it’s a golden snake…”
Hearing this, Chen Yang walked towards Zhang Xueying’s room and, reaching the wardrobe, began to carefully inspect it.
Snakes are dangerous, but are very common in the rural village, so he was not afraid.
After circling the wardrobe, Chen Yang indeed found a yellow snake writhing among so clothes.
This type of snake is commonly found in rural areas.
It is non-venomous, but its bite is extrely painful.
Upon seeing the snake, Chen Yang picked up a broom that was leaning against the corner of the wall and started to move the clothes surrounding the snake, aiming to find its vital point.
But as Chen Yang moved the clothes, the snake sensed his intent.
It imdiately coiled itself up in the wardrobe and faced Chen Yang, continuously flicking its tongue.
