After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Okay, sister." Xuebao nodded and replied softly.

After the Green Snake King finished drinking the water, Lin Shuyue looked at it and asked, "Where are your companions? Why are you the only one in this cave?"

The green snake king tilted its head, stuck out its tongue, and made a few hissing sounds.

"Sister, it said it moved to another mountain with the group of snakes." Olaf translated.

Lin Shuyue nodded and continued to ask: "Why did you move suddenly? Will you return to this cave?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The green snake let out a long hiss, then swept its tail, and a small round bead emitting soft white light rolled to her feet.

"Sister, it said that because the giant python guarding the cave in front died, humans may come here frequently in the future. It is no longer suitable for them to live here, and they will never come back."

"It also said that in order to thank you for the spiritual spring water, it would give you this snake bead. As long as you carry this snake bead with you, no snake will attack you."

Xue Bao said in a cheerful tone, looking at the Green Snake King with satisfaction in his round little eyes.

Snake beads? Lin Shuyue bent down and picked up the small round beads at her feet that looked unusual.

Observing carefully in the light of the fire, she saw that the snake bead was about the size of a grape. The whole bead was crystal white, slightly cool to the touch, and had a faint fragrance. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much." Lin Shuyue expressed her gratitude to the Green Snake King with a smile. At this moment, she felt that the Green Snake King was the cutest snake she had ever seen.

After hearing her words, the Green Snake King nodded at her, then twisted his body and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Lin Shuyue suddenly called it, and after whispering with Xuebao for a while, she had a thought, and a wooden barrel appeared on the ground, and a companion lotus appeared in the bowl next to it that was filled with spiritual spring water.

"Green Snake King, I also have a gift for you. This is the companion lotus. After eating it, there is a high chance that you will transform into a spiritual beast." Lin Shuyue explained seriously to the Green Snake King who was looking at her.

Upon hearing this, the Green Snake King's golden vertical pupils lit up, and he looked at the companion lotus in the bowl with eagerness.

“However, before eating the companion lotus, you must first soak it in the wooden barrel for half an hour, and then eat the companion lotus. Moreover, you may fall into a coma for seven days after eating the companion lotus.” Lin Shuyue quickly added.

After she finished speaking, the Green Snake King slowly swam to her feet, with its erected body almost reaching her chest.

Lin Shuyue felt a little tingling on her scalp. Although she knew that the Green Snake King would not hurt her, her body's instinctive resistance and opposition to snakes made her want to retreat.

Just as she was about to step back, she saw the Green Snake King lower his body and rub his head gently on the back of her hanging hand. The cold and slippery touch made her freeze in place.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel it's okay, a bit like the feeling of a smooth piece of jade touching the skin.

Lin Shuyue lowered her head and her eyes met its. She didn't know if it was because she was dazzled, but she actually saw kindness and tenderness in its vertical pupils.

Afterwards, the Green Snake King quickly slipped into the wooden barrel in the corner, nodded to Lin Shuyue, then lowered its body and coiled into a mosquito coil shape.

Seeing this, Lin Shuyue moved the bowl on the ground to the side of the wooden barrel, then rode on Weifeng and continued forward with Xue Bao in her arms.

The journey was smooth after that, and by the time we got out of the cave, the sun had already risen above our heads.

She let Xiao Jin out, left it some watermelons, apples and a bucket of spiritual spring water, then Weifeng took her and Xue Bao and ran out of the mountains.

Before she ran out of the mountains, she suddenly heard the voices of her father, eldest brother and second brother in front of her. They were calling the names of her, Weifeng and the other three little ones.

Weifeng pricked up his ears and ran towards the sound without Lin Shuyue's instructions.

"Dad, big brother, second brother!"

When Lin An and his two sons heard the sound, they turned around and saw Lin Shuyue riding on Weifeng and coming out of the woods with Xue Bao in her arms.

"Where have you been, kid? You went into the mountains in the middle of the night and just haven't come out yet. I was so worried." Lin An walked quickly forward and looked at his daughter on the tiger's back worriedly.

Lin Shuyue jumped off the tiger's back, hugged Lin An's arm, and explained: "Xuebao and the others almost got into trouble in the mountains in the middle of the night yesterday. I will tell you in detail when we get back. I also brought back some good things."

"Let's go, big brother and second brother. I'll explain it to you slowly when we get back." She couldn't wait to go home and cook the seafood.

After going down the mountain and reaching the bamboo forest, she waved her hand and two wooden barrels appeared on the ground.

Lin An and his two sons came closer to take a look out of curiosity, and saw a fish in a wooden barrel that looked a bit ugly but was much larger than ordinary fish. In another barrel were five green crabs that were bigger than Lin An's palm, and some unfamiliar creatures.

"What is this? Why is this crab so big?" In this era of poor transportation, the three inland people had never seen seafood and were completely unfamiliar with these things.

Lin Shuyue pointed at the things in the bucket and explained to them one by one: "These are all things from the sea. This fish is a grouper, these crabs are blue crabs, this is a clam, this is a conch, this is an abalone..."

Lin An and the other two listened to her explanation and looked at the creatures in the barrels with curiosity. Before they could come to their senses, Lin Shuyue had already picked up the two wooden barrels and walked quickly towards the Lin residence.

When seeing the two buckets of fresh seafood, Aunt Zhao in the kitchen was shocked, and then volunteered to take on the job of cooking the seafood.

After asking carefully, it turned out that Aunt Zhao was from the neighboring Wanhe County. She was very familiar with seafood and knew how to cook many kinds of seafood. After asking clearly, Lin Shuyue confidently handed the two buckets of seafood to her.

When Mrs. Li saw her daughter had arranged everything, she urged her to go back to her room to wash up.

When the smoke from the village was about to dissipate, the Lin family finally had their long-awaited lunch.

Steamed grouper, braised blue crab, stir-fried clams with leeks, steamed conch, spicy conch slices, braised abalone, abalone slices with scallion oil, spicy octopus, cold kelp shreds, and a can of raw blue crab porridge, the table full of seafood made everyone salivate.

"Dad, let's eat!" Lin Shuyue couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay, let's eat!" Lin An gave an order and five pairs of chopsticks were stretched out at the same time.

After tasting a braised abalone, Lin Shuyue picked up a large conch. The shell was a little hot, so she blew on it a few times. She pinched the conch head and gently turned it, and took out the snail meat intact.

Then she removed the liver and gallbladder of the conch, dipped it in the prepared chili sauce, and took a bite. The tender and chewy snail meat and the spicy juice were unforgettable.

After eating a snail, she picked up a piece of grouper with chopsticks, and nodded with satisfaction after taking a bite. The fish meat was sweet, tender and delicious, and the fish skin melted in the mouth. It was worthy of being the fish she could not afford to eat in her previous life.

"This abalone slices with scallion oil is a delicacy. Come and try it!"

Lin Shuyuan took a bite of the abalone slice with chopsticks, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly recommended this dish to everyone.
