Chapter 49 - After the Contraceptive Fruit Turned Red, It Became the Fertility Fruit II
The sun was shining brightly in spring, which was a good time for an outing.
The black snake was still soaking in the pool, not knowing when it would come out.
Wan Zhong ate three eggs every day because he was afraid if he ate slowly, chicks would hatch. When the time came whether to raise them or not, he would be in a dilemma.
He had carried a basket on his back and made a slingshot out of chicken skin and forked branches. After practicing quietly day after day, he was finally able to knock off the contraceptive fruits.
At this moment, the fruit had changed from green to slightly red. It tasted astringent and bitter in the mouth.
But the black snake, who was originally depressed, slightly improved after peeping at what its spouse was doing in the mirror.
It spat out snake tongue and said to the mirror.
[Mirror, mirror.]
[He is secretly preparing for pregnancy behind my back.]
[How does he know that after the contraceptive fruit turns red, it turns into a fertility fruit?]
[He is indeed the spouse I identified at first glance. He is really smart.]
[You said he worked so hard to secretly get pregnant and surprise me, but how could I keep languishing?]
.
As soon as Wan Zhong returned to the snake nest after taking the contraceptive fruits secretly, he saw the black snake that had not been seen for a long time coiled at the entrance of the cave.
It holds its noble snake head high, shining like a gem in the cool sunlight.
Wan Zhong felt guilty and panicked, but the black snake seemed not to notice his dodge, and rolled him up with its tail, lowered its head and licked his pale lips.
There was still a bitter taste in Wan Zhong’s mouth. He closed his mouth tightly, fearing that the black snake would suddenly lick inside and discover his secret.
“Handsome snake, wait a minute. I’m covered in sweat. I’m going to wash up.” Wan Zhong covered his mouth and hurriedly broke away from the black snake’s tail to brush his teeth, feeling a little depressed.
The black snake spit out the snake tongue, and was considerate enough not to reveal that his spouse was secretly preparing for pregnancy.
It was lying on a high branch, with its head raised and staring blankly at the sky, as if it was still sad about losing the gold.
Wan Zhong saw it like this and felt very uncomfortable. He walked over and touched the tip of the snake tail hanging down from the tree trunk, then kissed its slightly hot reserve scales, clumsily comforting it.
“Okay, Handsome snake, don’t be unhappy anymore. Although we lost a lot of gold, don’t you still have 99999999+ rooms in your Snake Castle filled with gold? To you, it’s like you have tens of millions of cows and you just lost a hair. Don’t feel bad anymore. Let’s be more careful in the future and don’t lose anything…”
The black snake felt a lot more comfortable after being comforted, if it was lost, it was lost. This was a fact but no matter how much gold the snake lost; it would still own a lot.
Wan Zhong: “Would you like to become a human and talk to me for a while?”
The black snake didn’t respond, so Wan Zhong just stood under the tree and looked up at it, waiting for it.
He didn’t know how long it took, but the black snake finally moved.
It transformed into half man and half snake, and placed the Wan Zhong on his waist. Then he complained to his spouse, the expression on his face was still very gloomy.
“That gold has been with me for nearly a hundred years. During the days of waiting here for the tribulation, I was the only one, with only gold and the mirror accompanying me.”
It was said that everything would be priceless with emotions. Once something was given a meaning, its value would be far higher than itself. The emotional value of this couldn’t be filled by a few identical substitutes, nor could it be overcome by just a few words of comfort.
When Wan Zhong heard this, his heart felt like needles pricking. The look in Xuan Ming’s eyes made his heart feel an unprecedented pain. He really wanted to chop off the thief’s hand!
He asked Xuan Ming: “Is there any way to get the gold back?”
Xuan Ming shook his head, “Even if there is, I can’t get out.”
Wan Zhong: “Then how did your brother get in?”
Xuan Ming shook his head again. “I don’t know.” It was like he didn’t know how his spouse broke through all the restrictions and came here.
.
After another long period of silence…
Wan Zhong leaned over and nibbled Xuan Ming’s chin, then took the initiative to lean into his arms and asked in a low voice: “I haven’t given you the apology for that day, do you want to cash it in?”
Xuan Ming almost forgot about this. He was about to stuff his tail into his mate’s mouth. Then he thought of something and shook his head.
“Let’s put it in the account first. I’m in a bad mood right now. If you get pregnant, I’m afraid the cubs will also be affected. If they look miserable, it will be my fault.”
Wan Zhong fell silent, and in the middle of silence, that Bai Tianxian came again.
He looked very anxious. When he came up, he asked Xuan Ming for the key to enter and exit the Snake Castle. He also said: “Brother! Lend me your mirror quickly! I need it urgently!”
Before Xuan Ming could speak, Bai Tianxian looked at the mirror on the branch. Standing on the ground, he wanted to jump up and get it on his own but he didn’t expect to be beaten first.
Wan Zhong held the mirror firmly in his hands, looked at him coldly and said, “I won’t lend it.”
