Moreover, it was nottowards the children, but towards the stove where the charcoal was burning It armer there and the snake was drawn to its warht, she stayed put and stretched out her hand to signal the two little ones to keep quiet She watched as the snake slithered over to the stove and leaned its head closer to the stove Then, it laid unround
An Jiuyue remained silent
What a lazy snake! It’s already satisfied ar its head and doesn’t care that half of its body is still hanging on theand drenched in the rain
“Mother!”
Zheng’er and Rong’er looked at the snake in fear before looking at their estured for him to keep quiet
“The snake is still in hibernation It akened by the rain Let’s wait for it to fall asleep before we get it out Go to sleep first, I am here Don’t be afraid I will protect you”
She lowered her voice and spoke to the two little ones
The two little ones were frightened today She felt that it was better to prevent the the snake later
Therefore, although the snake was sleeping next to the stove, she secretly retrieved a cal incense from her space and threw it into the charcoal stove
Soon, the two children fell into a slumber Even the snake felt extra sleepy
It see incense was also effective on snakes
After they fell asleep, An Jiuyue got off the bed quietly and rip on the estured with her left pal She couldn’t possibly strike there
