The supernatural boss of the end of the world is doing well after crossing into the book
Chapter 228: Skinning the Snake
"Isn't it a bit too little to just take eggs?" Mrs. Li was afraid that Lin Xi would dislike it, so she couldn't help but feel a little skeptical.
"I think as long as you really want to apologize, Lin Zhiqing won't mind whether the things are more or less. After all, Lin Zhiqing's family conditions are not short of those things, right?"
"It seems that what you said is right..." Mrs. Li was moved by her words.
"Then I'll find a chance to apologize to Lin Zhiqing, and please don't spread the news around!"
Mrs. Li was afraid that she would tell everyone. She was afraid that the news would spread throughout the village before she even went to apologize, which would mean that Lin Zhiqing would also know about it, and she would be embarrassed.
"I know, I won't say anything... Have you ever heard me gossip about others?" The old lady felt a little angry. She was well-known in the village for her tight-lippedness, and it was impossible to get any information out of her.
"I haven't heard it, so I'm telling you alone." Mrs. Li told her this because she knew her character.
"Let's go, let's go and watch the snake being killed. This is the first time in my life that I've seen such a big snake! We have to take a good look at it."
The old lady pushed Mrs. Li forward, fearing that she would not be able to get a good position to watch the fun.
"It's the first time I've seen this too. I don't know how Lin Zhiqing could be so brave. She wasn't afraid of such a big snake at all and even killed it." Mrs. Li felt relieved to have survived.
"That's right! When Lin Zhiqing killed that big wild boar, I felt that this girl was no ordinary girl. I didn't expect her to be so powerful. Gu Laowu is so lucky to have found such a capable future wife. I think their family will prosper in the future!" The old lady felt that she was always good at judging people, and that the Gu family would definitely live a rich life in the future.
"Oh, I also want to find a daughter-in-law like this." When Mrs. Li thought of her lazy and gluttonous youngest son at home, she suddenly felt suffocated and thought that sooner or later she would be angered to death by him.
"Don't even think about it. Lin Zhiqing is the only one left. Don't give yourself hope. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't seem to be joking, the old lady quickly cut off her thoughts, preventing her from thinking about things she shouldn't think about, and completely killed her unrealistic ideas in the bud.
"Of course I understand this truth, but I am still worried!"
"Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't worry about it."
The old lady comforted Mrs. Li with a few words, and Mrs. Li sighed. After that, the two of them did not talk about this topic anymore and followed the crowd to the threshing ground.
"Wow! This snake is so big!"
When Mrs. Li and her companions arrived here, the threshing ground was filled with villagers inside and outside. It was no exaggeration to say that there were huge crowds of people. The snakes had been neatly laid out on the ground, waiting to be gutted!
"Village chief, how do we kill this snake? I've killed pigs, chickens and ducks, but I've never killed this thing!" Uncle Ye, the village butcher, was also in trouble!
He had eaten snake meat once when he was very young, but it was his father who killed it, not him, so he didn't know how to handle it.
"Wait, I'll ask." The village chief said this and walked straight to Lin Xi, "Lin Zhiqing, do you want this snake skin?"
Lin Xi didn't understand why she wanted this snake skin. It looked so disgusting and gave her goose bumps. She wouldn't want it.
"I don't want it. I want to ask whether we should keep this snake skin? What is it used for?" Lin Xi's face was full of confusion, hoping that the village chief could answer some questions for her.
"If you don't want it, I'll keep it. This snake skin is a treasure. Snake skin is also called snake slough. It has the effects of dispelling wind, calming nerves, detoxifying and reducing swelling. It can also treat urinary obstruction."
"I heard my grandfather talk about it when I was a child, so I've kept it in mind. If the villagers need it in the future, they'll have a place to put it!"
The village chief patiently explained the functions of snake skin. Lin Xi exclaimed that it was magical. She only knew that snake skin could be used to make bags, but she didn't expect it to have so many functions. It really refreshed her!
"Then keep it! I won't be able to use it anyway..." Lin Xi generously let the village chief keep the snake skin.
"Okay, thank you Lin Zhiqing."
"Uncle village chief, why are you so polite? Am I not also a member of the village? These are just trivial matters..."
"Okay, okay... I'll go and tell them to do it right away."
"Go, go!" Lin Xi knew that he was about to start killing the snake, and he was extremely excited.
"Just peel off the snake skin and then kill it like a pig. Just do what you need to do." The village chief said to the butcher Uncle Ye!
"Okay, do you want to peel it like you peel a rabbit? I know how to do that... just watch me, village chief!" Uncle Ye, the butcher, is ready to show off his skills!
"Village chief, then ask someone to find a rope to hang the snake up! This way it will be easier to skin it." When the butcher Uncle Ye thought about skinning a snake soon, the scene of his father skinning a snake emerged in his mind, so he made this suggestion.
"Okay, I'll go find someone to do it right away." After saying this, the village chief turned and walked towards the crowd.
After speaking to a few people with his head down, one of them ran to get a rope, and soon came back with a rope as thick as his thumb.
Then the people who had spoken to the village chief before tied the python's neck with a rope, pulled it up together and hung it on the jujube tree in the threshing ground.
Seeing this, Uncle Ye, the butcher, quickened his pace in sharpening the knife, and only stopped when the knife began to emit a cold light.
The highlight came next. The butcher Uncle Ye took a sharpened knife and cut a circle on the python's neck skin. He then peeled the snake skin into a long tube from front to back. Finally, the others came forward to help pull it back.
The scene was bloody, and the threshing ground was filled with a strong smell of blood!
However, no one, whether adults or children, was afraid. Instead, they squatted there and watched with relish, thinking in their hearts that this was a scene that was rarely seen in a century and they would probably never see it again in the future, so how could they not take a few more glances at it.
Although Lin Xi felt a little uncomfortable, she still kept watching. She didn't want to be worse than a three-year-old child. But Chu Ran beside her was watching her intently, which surprised her.
“Is it so beautiful?”
“It looks good…”
When Chu Ran answered, she didn't look at Lin Xi. Her eyes were always fixed on the python, afraid of missing anything. She thought it was quite interesting.
Uh! Just pretend she didn't ask!
After the efforts of several butchers, the snake skin was finally peeled off completely, and then the snake was gutted. Seeing this, Lin Xi couldn't help but covered his mouth and ran to the side to retch.
Not only her, many people, like her, can't stand the sour smell of undigested food in the python's stomach.
