He was stunned. Gulping, he took a step back subconsciously.
"Big Brother, what are you doing? That girl is right there. Let's— Huh?!"
When the younger brother saw that his brother had stopped in his tracks, he wanted to pull him forward. However, he accidentally saw the bloody scene and jumped back in fright.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
The scene made his hair stand on end. That is a python, isn't it? And it's chopped up by that young woman? How strong is she?
"B-Brother… why don't we… don't, don't go…"
He shivered as he spoke, looking at his brother.
They would often be boastful in front of the young ladies in the village but if they came across a more powerful man, their act would be useless.
They initially thought that An Jiuyue was just a gentle, weak lady with two little children. She was someone they thought they could bully however they wanted. Who would've known…
"What happened to the both of you?"
Aunt Wang had yet to see what An Jiuyue was doing. She thought that their hearts had softened when she saw them stop walking.
"You unfilial sons, you can't even walk anymore when you see a woman? Have you forgotten how your mother was bullied by that little b*tch yesterday?
Hurry up and kill her— Ah! "
She turned around as she instructed her sons, looking in the direction of An Jiuyue.
An Jiuyue, a bloody machete in her hand and a sinister expression on her face, happened to look up at them in the pouring rain. Her hands were covered in blood.
Aunt Wang jumped in fright and instantly hid behind her sons.
"Aunt Wang?"
An Jiuyue heard their voices early in the morning.
"Why? Did you not say your piece yesterday so you brought your two sons today to continue? Do you want to come over and have a seat? I was just thinking that there's not enough snake meat. Why don't all of you come and make up the numbers?"
This old woman must've really believed that I'm easy to bully. She didn't get to have a way yesterday so she brought her two sons over today. So she has decided to snatch them away forcefully?
She held the machete in one hand and waved at Aunt Wang's two sons with the other.
She seemed to be saying, "Come over here. I happen to be lacking meat. You guys have been fattened up enough for me to slaughter."
When the two of them heard her words, they did not even dare to breathe as they took two steps back subconsciously.
"You, you…"
"Big Brother, let's go, let's go!"
The two brothers kept retreating. How could they dare to stay any longer? They turned around and fled from the scene without a care for their mother.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Aunt Wang was dumbfounded. She turned back and looked at An Jiuyue in fear before chasing after her two sons.
"That was too terrifying! That little b*tch is too terrifying!"
She mumbled to herself as she ran. She had never witnessed such a scene before. If this snake had appeared before a villager, it would've bitten them to death quickly.
"Pft."
Inside the space, Wei Na watched their comical escape and sneered.
"Master, these people really don't have any guts at all. They're all so timid, and yet they still strutted up to you arrogantly. Even I laughed!"
They're so incapable but they still want to take advantage of my master and the two young masters? Some people in this world are amazing.
It learned something new again.
"Heh."
An Jiuyue chuckled softly when she heard Wei Na's voice in her head.
"People like them will get what they deserve."
With that, she washed the snakeskin in the rain. She planned to make two pairs of shoes with the snakeskin for the two little ones when she was free.
She cut the snake meat into pieces and put them into the basket on her back.
She carried a piece upstairs and placed it in the kitchen. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw the two adorable children already sitting on the bed. There was confusion in their small eyes.
"Mother, I had such a scary dream last night. I dreamed that there was a huge snake that came into our house." Zheng'er mistook what happened last night as a dream and told his mother.
"Big brother, did you have the same dream? That snake was so big. It was thicker than my legs," Rong'er gulped and added.
Is it really a dream just like what big brother said? But why does it feel so real? The snake really did break into our house and almost ate us.
"Mother, that wasn't a dream, right?"
He looked up at his mother and asked.
An Jiuyue was unsure of how to respond when she heard what they said.
Should I tell them that the snake really barged into the house? Or should I say that it wanted to find a place that wasn't flooded to continue hibernating? Or should I just tell them that it was a dream?
"Zheng'er, Rong'er, a snake did break into our house last night."
Sighing, she decided to tell the two little ones the truth. We are living in a forest. They cannot remain ignorant forever. They have to adapt to this dangerous life.
"Gasp!"
Upon hearing her words, the two little ones sucked in a breath of cold air. Their faces were as white as paper, and they immediately hid in their mother's arms, afraid to come out.
"Mother, then… what about that big snake? Has it left?"
That's too terrifying. Why would a big snake come into our house? Was it trying to eat us?
"I killed it."
An Jiuyue hugged them, patting their backs gently to comfort them.
"Don't be afraid. I am here. No matter how powerful a wild beast is, it can't hurt my precious babies. Come, get up first. Let's make breakfast."
They were still afraid. After all, it was a huge snake. It would've been fine if it was a dream—and it wouldn't have mattered if they recalled the dream. But the snake had really appeared in front of them. How could they not be afraid?
"Don't be afraid. Although that snake was powerful, your grandfather was a hunter who hunted big snakes specifically. If you learn those skills in the future, the big snakes will be afraid of you."
An Jiuyue placed Zheng'er and Rong'er on one of her legs and allowed them to continue leaning against her chest as she comforted them gently.
"Yes, Grandpa is the best," said Zheng'er.
They had seen their grandfather hunt before. They were no longer afraid after thinking about it.
"Mother, we have to learn from Grandpa and chase the big snake away," Rong'er replied softly as he clenched his fists to cheer himself on.
Back in the space, Wei Na chuckled again.
Is master sure that she picked up her skills from the Host's Father? What a good liar!
"Okay."
An Jiuyue answered, feeling reassured.
"If you want to learn, I will teach you in the future."
