Chapter 201: A Pot of Aloe Vera

Because this time, she found a nest of snakes!

Although I don't know why so many snakes gather together, if this nest of snakes is caught and sold in the town, it will definitely fetch a good price.

Especially in wealthy families, those men are willing to spend money to buy snakes and stew them in snake soup. This is a good thing to replenish yang!

Another benefit of a lucky encounter. God will reward her with this money, so don’t give it up in vain!

She didn't like snakes, but she tolerated them for the sake of money.

But she didn't have a cage to catch the snake, so she had to talk to Shen Lan and Xu Yiyun, and then went home to get the cage.

Afterwards, Xu Yiyun asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why did you bring the cage over when you went home?"

"Grab the things!" Su Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows and smiled, carrying the cage towards the snake nest she just discovered.

I don't know if these snakes were hot or something else happened, but they were not at all aggressive towards her arrival.

In order to prevent being bitten, Su Xiaoxia used long sticks to pick up the snakes and let them get into the cages by themselves.

Perfect! Great harvest!

After getting all the snakes into the cage to prevent them from being bitten, she took off her old coat and hugged the cage, then found a vine and wrapped it around her clothes, dragging the cage forward.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lan and Xu Yiyun were both curious.

"Xiaoxia, you are so mysterious, what are you doing?" Shen Lan asked.

"Mom, I caught a nest of snakes." Su Xiaoxia said with a smile, thinking that it was lucky that Sanbao didn't come, otherwise she would have been scared to tears.

"Oh." Shen Lan said oh, but quickly responded, "What did you say? What did you catch?"

"Snake..."

"How many?"

"A nest!"

"Good boy!" Shen Lan was shocked. She put down the banana leaf she was fanning and ran over quickly, "A nest? What kind of luck do you have? It's too good, right?"

"You may not be able to catch two snakes even if you go into the mountains. It's better for you. When you came to plant rice seedlings...no, when you went to enjoy the shade, you actually encountered a nest of snakes? It's really incredible!"

She used to think that Xiaoxia was very lucky and always got good things as soon as she entered the mountains.

Now it seems that Xiaoxia doesn't have to go into the mountains to get good things. Even if she goes out for a trip, good things will come to Xiaoxia casually. This... is simply like a koi in the world!

Here, Xu Yiyun touched his chin, a little unbelievable, "Where did you catch it? How did you know there was a snake over there?"

Su Xiaoxia told Shen Lan and Xu Yiyun what happened when she heard the snake making noises when it was hunting, went to find it, and then saw it.

Shen Lan was convinced of this, but Xu Yiyun was indeed skeptical. After all, this could no longer be said to be luck, it was directly God chasing after him to deliver good things to him!

"Third brother, take this home first and find a place to put it. Otherwise, if it runs away, we won't be able to make any money. Remember not to let the children find it, lest this snake attacks people."

"I know, mother!"

"Xiaoxia and I continue planting rice here, and we are just a little short of finishing it. You don't want to come over!"

"Um."

Xu Yiyun responded, then squatted on the ground, wrapped the cage tightly with his coat, and then carried the coat and cage home.

As for the last rice seedlings, Shen Lan and Su Xiaoxia finished planting them quickly after taking a rest.

Just when Su Xiaoxia and Shen Lan were washing the mud off their hands and feet in the news, they heard Jiejiecao chatting on the side.

"Did you hear about it? A strange creature appeared by the river. Except for its head, hands and feet, which are soft, the other parts are hard!"

"I've heard about it too, and some relatives asked about it. The creature said they're called snapping turtles, and they also eat meat, which is so vicious. I also heard that some small fish were bitten and it hurt. I can’t even swim.”

"Really or not? How many are there? Will they bite the brothers by the river?"

"No, the snapping turtle doesn't seem to eat our plants."



Su Xiaoxia just pricked up her ears and listened carefully. When Shen Lan called her, she didn't even hear her. In the end, Shen Lan pushed her and she came back to her senses.

"Xiaoxia, what are you thinking about? Why didn't you answer when my mother called you?"

"Mom, I want to go to the river to see if there are any fish. I suddenly want to eat fish." Su Xiaoxia had an idea and thought of a reason.

Hearing this, Shen Lan smiled and said, "Okay! Do you want me to go with you?"

"No!" Su Xiaoxia shook her head, "Mom, just go home and rest. I'll go take a look. If there are any, I'll catch them. If there aren't, forget it."

After saying that, she helped Shen Lan pack up the things she took home, while she left a wooden basin behind.

Watching Shen Lan walk home, she took a shortcut to the river. She mainly went there for the snapping turtle, and eating fish was just an excuse!

The snapping turtle is the oldest reptile and one of the largest freshwater turtles. It has high ornamental value and strong adaptability. It resembles a crocodile, so it looks very ferocious, eats meat, and can bite people.

But snapping turtles not only have economic value, but also medicinal and ornamental value.

Of course, she mainly went there for its medicinal value. After all, in terms of ornamental value, it was not very beautiful, so no one would like it.

Snapping turtles have the same nourishing effect as the snake we just caught, and snapping turtles are even more nourishing.

Women can replenish yin and blood, while men can replenish essence and qi. For patients with deficiency of essence and blood, fatigue and chronic paralysis, eating snapping turtle soup can nourish them, and the medicinal effect is very significant.

It is also very suitable for supplementation during postpartum period for pregnant women, especially those suffering from anemia and insomnia.

In addition, the snapping turtle's turtle plate has a swelling effect, and the snapping turtle's head also has certain medicinal effects...

When she arrived at the river, before she could ask about the weeds by the river, she heard someone shouting: "Ah! Something is biting me in the water!"

"Could it be a snake?" Another woman also shouted.

Su Xiaoxia looked over and found several women washing clothes there.

"I don't know, it hurts so much, I'm bleeding..."

As soon as these words came out, the women who were washing clothes by the river hugged their clothes and moved to another place to avoid being attacked by things in the water.

Su Xiaoxia was watching not far away. After all the women left, she walked to the river to have a look.

Sure enough, she saw three snapping turtles swimming in the water.

Three! Make a fortune!

Su Xiaoxia found that her luck was getting better and better, and she could pick up good things anytime and anywhere, as if God was chasing her to feed her!

Others didn't know how to avoid a snapping turtle attack and catch the snapping turtle, but she knew.

She was exposed to something with such medicinal value in her previous life!

The woman who moved to the other side saw Su Xiaoxia appearing there, with curiosity in her eyes.

"Tell me, did Su Xiaoxia discover something good again?"

"Could it be the one who bit you just now?"

"It's possible...should we go over and have a look?"

"Let's go! Go over and see what bit you!"
