"Auntie, you feel chills just looking at them now, but later they will be stewed into a big pot of snake soup, and I'm sure your mouth will be drooling!"

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

The women were too scared to approach the snake basket, but she rolled up her sleeves and put on the burlap gloves she usually used for work, as if nothing was wrong.

Then he leaned over and pulled out a snake very skillfully.

He raised his hands together, holding a small and thin blade between his fingertips.

The blade pulled in such a random stroke.

"Hey..."

Just like the finest cloth being scratched, with a crisp and subtle sound, the snake's cylindrical body was pulled open by her.

Two dexterous fingers inserted it, then pulled, hooked and pulled again.

All the debris and other debris in the snake's belly were dug out.

The eviscerated snake was thrown into an empty basket at his feet, and the snake's internal organs were placed in another wooden basin.

Luo Fengtang squatted beside the wooden basin and picked out an intact snake gallbladder from the pile of debris.

Then carefully put it into another small basin.

Looking at the skillful movements of these two people, they also cooperated so well.

The eldest Sun couldn't help but said to the Sun next to her: "Oh, it doesn't mean that one family does not enter the same house, this is really true!"

"Look at this, the people in the yard, just like Qing'er and Tangyazi, look like they are picking up snakes!"

Faced with Da Sun's joke, everyone laughed and watched.

Here, the two people who were busy picking up the snake gall also heard it.

The two people looked at each other and smiled, a kind of sweetness and tacit understanding flowing through each other's eyes.

The gallbladders of this basket of snakes were quickly removed. Luo Fengtang followed Yang Ruoqing's instructions and took all the gallbladders to the well in the backyard to sort them out.

And she herself stood up and said to the crowd of onlookers around her: "Mom, aunt, I went to skin the snake at the pond at the entrance of the village. We won't eat porridge, cook rice, or eat snake soup tonight!"

Yang Ruoqing went to skin a snake at the entrance of the village, but she was still followed by a group of people watching the fun.

Most of the children in the village followed.

Yang Ruoqing was peeling off snake skins one by one, while children were laughing and playing nearby.

Women don't dare to skin snakes, even men who are timid don't dare to do it.

In this way, in the eyes of these children, Yang Ruoqing is really amazing.

Xiao An stood among a group of children, with a look of pride on his face.

The little chubby man put his hands on his hips and said to the other friends with great dignity: "Did you see them all? These snakes were all caused by my sister and brother-in-law. My sister and brother-in-law are great, right?"

The other little heads nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Xiao An is even more proud.

"Whoever wants to watch my sister skin a snake must obey me and be your eldest brother."

"Otherwise, I won't show it to him! Do you understand?"

Xiao An asked again.

The other little heads nodded again like chickens pecking at rice.

But there are also voices of doubt.

"Yang Xiaoan, your sister and brother-in-law got this snake, not you."

"Why do we want you to be my eldest brother after watching a snake skinned? My mother said that when I was born, you were still in your mother's belly!"

This was said by a little boy with a runny nose.

Xiao An cast a disdainful look at the little boy.

He raised his fleshy little palm and patted his little chest: "My brother said, a tiger father has no dog son."

"My sister is amazing, and as my younger brother, I will definitely be even more amazing in the future!"

"Now you worship me as your big brother and help me dig out bird eggs and catch fish. When I grow up and become more powerful, I will protect you!"

"Hey, is it true? Yang Xiaoan, will you really become more powerful when you grow up?"

"of course!"

"You don't cry when you get stung by a wasp?"

"Nonsense, slug, what you asked is lowering my IQ!"

Xiao An sighed and shook his head.

While Yang Ruoqing was busy peeling off the snake skin, she listened to the words of the children around her without missing a word.

Couldn't help but laugh.

She glanced at Xiao An beside her, who had just reached her waist.

The little boy held his chest with his hands and stood there with a stinking look on his face, which was funny and cute.

In my previous life, I was an orphan, with no father, no mother, and no brothers or sisters.

In this life, I have a father, a mother and two younger brothers.

The eldest brother knows books and etiquette, he is young and mature.

The little brother is very active and quirky.

The two of them, moving and still, are her two living treasures. With her efforts, she can see that her two brothers can enjoy a happier youth and childhood life.

She felt more accomplished and more energetic.

A basket of snakes was finished amidst the laughter of the children.

The sky was getting dark and there were many mosquitoes by the water. The adults came over to take their children back to their homes.

Yang Ruoqing picked up the clean snake again and turned to go home, only to find Xiao An still waiting by the water.

Holding a willow branch in his hand, he was waving away mosquitoes and scratching himself.

"Hey, didn't you just go home with Xiaohua Xiaoduo? Why did you sneak back again?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Xiao An said: "I am a man and I want to protect my sister."

"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing was startled.

Xiao An pointed to the pond water behind her and said: "There are water monkeys in the water. They come out to bask in the moon when it gets dark. I'm afraid my sister will be dragged away by the water monkeys."

The childish words made Yang Ruoqing smile, but her heart felt warm.

The saying that there are water monkeys in the water is used by adults to scare children to prevent them from playing in the water secretly.

The world in the eyes of children is sometimes very simple, and they believe what adults say.

Therefore, she does not advocate using this method to scare children, although the intention is good.

"There are actually no water monkeys in the water. It's just that if a child falls down while playing in the water without an adult around him, it will be very dangerous and he will drown."

Yang Ruoqing took Xiao An's hand and led him home, communicating with him carefully and explaining the truth.

Xiao An listened very carefully. When he arrived at the door of the yard, Xiao An stood down.

Looking up at Yang Ruoqing, her voice was extremely relaxed: "Sister, I won't have any more scary dreams tonight. I finally know that the water monkey is fake and will not hold children in its mouth!"

Yang Ruoqing was surprised and touched Xiao An's face.

"What? You often had scary dreams in the past few days?" she asked.

Xiao An nodded: "Well, the aunts and aunts in the village all say that there are water monkeys in the water and pig bitches in the mountains. They also say that when people are about to die, they will be haunted..."

"It made me afraid to look out the window at night, and I didn't dare to get out of bed to pee. It was so uncomfortable!"

"Well……"

Yang Ruoqing was speechless.

He raised his hand and rubbed Xiao An's head: "Those are all fake. You are a man, so be brave!"

"Is it like my brother-in-law?" Xiao An asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

"What do you look like to me?"

A voice came over, and the two siblings turned around and saw that it was Luo Fengtang!
Chapter completed!
