The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Chapter 565

Chapter 565: A Strike At The Seven Inch Position

However, it wasn’t Chu Xiaohuan—who was most afraid of snakes—shouting. It was Mo Qian, who was sitting rather close to Chu Xiaohuan.

Chu Xiaohuan also saw the snake. She wanted to scream, but before she could, she was frightened by Mo Qian’s exaggerated scream.

They were stunned.

Because not only was Mo Qian screaming, she was also jumping up and down.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was wearing a dress. She jumped and lost her balance and fell.

Not only was Chu Xiaohuan frightened by her, but even the snake was frightened by her and stood rooted to the ground.

“…” The others.

Yang Jun didn’t want to interfere, but he was worried that the snake was poisonous and would suddenly attack someone. Moreover, he wasn’t far from Mo Qian. Mo Qian was sitting beside him, so he had no choice but to interfere.

“Don’t be agitated first. Otherwise, it’ll attack if you scare it. Stand up first.” He held a sickle in his hand and looked at the snake warily. He then reached out to pull Mo Qian up.

Mo Qian was in pain from the fall. She probably felt that it was too embarra.s.sing and blushed. She did not dare to make a fuss after Yang Jun said that.

She handed her hand to Yang Jun and let him pull her up.

She quickly hid behind Yang Jun.

The snake was not small. It was gray and about the size of their sickles.

Yang Jun was actually a little afraid too, but he had no choice. He couldn’t push a girl to the front, right?

At this moment, Chu Xiaohuan, who was most afraid of snakes, finally reacted. The snake was the closest to her, two steps behind her. However, her reaction was not as big as Mo Qian’s. She was afraid of infuriating the snake, so she did not dare to move. She did not dare to speak too loudly either. She only trembled, “J-Jinyu, w-what should we do?”

Yan Jinyu was actually a little far away from her, but she asked Yan Jinyu immediately, making everyone else stunned.

Could it be that what she said about Yan Jinyu giving her a sense of security was true?

The first person she thought of at this moment was Yan Jinyu, so it really seemed like it.

If it was Mo Qian shouting, Yan Jinyu couldn’t be bothered, but Chu Xiaohuan…

When the others were looking at her and Chu Xiaohuan in confusion, Yan Jinyu took out the sickle in her basket. She didn’t get up even when she was about five meters away. She just sat there and raised her hand, casually throwing the sickle forward.

It hit the snake at the seven inch position from its head.

There was silence.

Someone’s mouth fell open in shock.

Including Chu Xiaohuan, who believed in Yan Jinyu.

Oh my G.o.d, was she that accurate?

It seemed like Jinyu didn’t even look at the snake. She simply raised her hand and threw it.

“No, no. Sister Jinyu, have you practiced before? How did you do it so accurately?” Zhao Qian, who was braver and had seen many snakes, spoke first. He was not frightened at all.

He wasn’t frightened by the snake, but he was frightened by Mo Qian’s exaggerated reaction and Yan Jinyu’s skills.

Originally, he wanted to react when he saw the snake. He was frightened by Mo Qian and couldn’t react in time. When Chu Xiaohuan spoke, he was surprised that the first person Chu Xiaohuan thought of was Yan Jinyu. He was surprised for a second before Yan Jinyu attacked. He didn’t have the time to react at all.

“Yes, Schoolmate Yan, you’re too accurate. Was it true that you said you had trained since you were young in the tricycle yesterday?” Yang Jun exclaimed.

Actually, he knew that it was true. Because Yan Jinyu was the most stable person in the tricycle.

However, he did not expect that the martial arts that she mentioned were not that kind of dilettantish skills. She really had some real skills.

“Has Sister Jinyu practiced martial arts since you were young?” Zhao Qian was filled with admiration.

Jiang Xianyou was also shocked, but he didn’t say anything.

After the shock, he thought of Yan Jinyu’s ident.i.ty and felt that it was possible. After all, she was someone who could make that person so in love. How could she not have some ability?

“J-Jinyu, is it dead?” Qin Xuan was slightly surprised. Then, she felt that it was only right that Yan Jinyu had such skills.

What she was concerned about now was whether the snake that was. .h.i.t by the sickle, dead.

Mo Qian looked at the snake and then at Yan Jinyu, who was still sitting there calmly. Her pupils constricted slightly as she was a little frightened.

She was frightened by Yan Jinyu.

She even thought that if she angered Yan Jinyu, would Yan Jinyu also pick up the sickle and throw it at her expressionlessly?

She felt a chill down her neck.

However, that was not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing was still behind her.

After Yan Jinyu said “it’s most probably dead”, she stood up and walked towards the snake. She removed the sickle and placed it back into the basket on her wrist. Then, she picked up the snake!

With her hands!

Her scalp tingled!

Not to mention Mo Qian, everyone, including Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qian, who had once caught snakes, felt their scalps tingle. They could not explain why they, who were not even afraid of snakes, felt this way.

Were they simply frightened by Yan Jinyu’s actions?

Perhaps.

“It’s dead,” Yan Jinyu said.

Her tone was calm.

“Zhao Qian, pick two big leaves from the tree behind you for me.”

Zhao Qian didn’t know what she wanted to do and followed her instructions in a daze.

“Sister Jinyu, here.”

Yan Jinyu took the two leaves and placed the snake on the leaves. Then, she wrapped it up with the leaves. She bent down and casually pulled out a blade of gra.s.s and wrapped the leaves with it.

She handed it to Zhao Qian. “Put it in your basket. Your grandfather should be able to use it when we get back.”

Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qian knew best that Old Master Zhao liked to collect all kinds of herbs.

He took it in a daze. “Oh, oh, thank you, Sister Jinyu.”

Zhao Qian was still in a daze when he placed the snake into his basket.

Zhao Linlin asked first, “Jinyu, aren’t you afraid?”

Yan Jinyu looked at her and smiled faintly, “It’s just a snake. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“It’s nothing to be afraid of, but you’re too formidable to pick it up with your hands. I’ve caught snakes before, but I’m really not as calm as you.”

“Don’t I still have gloves?” Yan Jinyu smiled and waved her hands.

Countless people had died at her hands, so why should she be afraid of a mere snake?

“Alright, we’re almost done resting. Let’s go and continue picking herbs. Otherwise, we’ll be late when we go down the mountain.”

“Jinyu, are we leaving now?” Chu Xiaohuan’s legs were still trembling.

“Yes, it’s appropriate to leave now. The snake just appeared here. Only by leaving quickly can you stop yourself from trembling like this.”

Chu Xiaohuan smiled awkwardly. “I’m really afraid. I wouldn’t be so afraid if it were some bug. I’m just afraid of snakes.”

“According to the grouping just now, we’re going this way. Will you guys be going that way?” Zhao Linlin asked.

Yan Jinyu nodded.

“Then let’s go.” Zhao Linlin stood up and asked Chu Xiaohuan, “Xiaohuan, can you walk? Why don’t I get Zhao Qian to send you down the mountain first? I think you’re quite frightened.”

“No, no, no. I’m really afraid, but it’s not easy to come up the mountain. I’ll go with you guys. I haven’t done anything yet and don’t waste Zhao Qian’s effort.”

She reached out to Qin Xuan. “But Xuanxuan, I think I need you to help me for the time being. My legs are weak.”

Qin Xuan chuckled and helped her stand up.

“I-I want to go down the mountain,” Mo Qian suddenly said.

“Yang Jun, can you send me down the mountain?”

Yang Jun’s expression was indescribable.

“Schoolmate Mo Qian, why are you going down the mountain? Schoolmate Chu was so frightened but yet she didn’t say that she wanted to go down the mountain. You’re a local. You can’t be serious, right?”

That was indeed not necessary.

She was pretending to be frightened to gain sympathy just now, but she slipped and fell because of her reaction.

It was embarra.s.sing.

She was in such a sorry state now that Jiang Xianyou didn’t even want to look at her. She didn’t want to stay here anymore. She had to go back and tidy up. She would reappear in front of Jiang Xianyou in the most perfect state.

“W-who said that a local can’t be afraid of snakes? I was frightened just now and injured myself.”

Her dress had just reached her knees when he could see the wound on her knee.

It was not serious. This kind of scratch was normal in the forest.

“You call that an injury?” Zhao Qian said disdainfully.

“Mo Qian, are you looking for trouble on purpose? Isn’t it normal for us to fall in the mountains and be cut by gra.s.s or even cut by sickles? We can just find some herbs to stop the bleeding and continue working. You’ve only been to the big city for a year, so why are you pretending to be dainty when you come back?”

“Besides, is this considered a wound? At most, it’s just a small cut. You didn’t even bleed. Even a legitimate rich young lady like them isn’t as unreasonable as you.”

Zhao Qian knew that her sister’s three roommates came from extraordinary backgrounds. They were almost all from the capital. Even Chu Xiaohuan, who was most afraid of snakes, didn’t say that she wanted to go down the mountain. The more he looked at Mo Qian, the more unreasonable he felt she was.

Fortunately, his sister was not like Mo Qian. She had completely changed after going to the big city for a year.

Oh, it was not entirely right to say that she had completely changed. The Mo Qian in the past was not very likable either.

However, Mo Qian became even more unreasonable when they met her again this time.

“Also, have you forgotten that we didn’t ask you to follow us up the mountain? You pestered us and now you want someone to send you down. Where’s your pride?”

“I didn’t ask you to send me down. I asked my cla.s.smate to send it. What does it have to do with you?”

“It’s indeed none of my business, but Brother Yang said that he came up the mountain to find design inspiration. Now, he’s going down the mountain without finding any inspiration. Do you want his trip to be wasted? As long as you still have a conscience, you should think about your cla.s.smate.”

“…” Yang Jun.

It was not that exaggerated. Inspirations could not be found on a mountain. It was also possible that he could not find any inspiration on this trip.

However, Zhao Qian’s words had helped him a lot.

He really didn’t want to go down the mountain now.

They were already here. Why did he have to go down?

Did she think that it was easy for him to climb up here from the bottom of the mountain?

“Mo Qian, I came up with everyone. It’s not appropriate for me to go down first. Why don’t we do this? If you really can’t leave, just sit here and wait for us. We’ll call you here after we’re done picking the medicine?”

“You don’t worry about snakes appearing either. Didn’t Schoolmate Yan and Schoolmate Zhao study medicine? They should know what herbs can drive snakes. Let them give you some. You won’t be in danger sitting here.”

Zhao Linlin was very cooperative. She picked out a medicinal herb from the basket on Jiang Xianyou’s back. “This will do. For the sake that we came from the same village, I’ll give it to you for free.”

Mo Qian looked at them with a flushed face.

She glared at Zhao Linlin, “Who cares for it!”

She looked at Yang Jun again and her expression changed instantly. She became gentle and weak. “Forget it, Yang Jun. I’ll follow you guys. I’m more afraid of sitting here alone.”

“Can you do it?” Yang Jun asked pretentiously.

“I can do it.”

“Since you can, let’s go. Don’t tell me to go down the mountain so easily. It’s really not easy for me to make a trip up here.”

Mo Qian was aggrieved. “Alright.”

Zhao Qian snorted. “Stop being pretentious. Even if you’ve not been to this mountain 100 times, you should have at least been here more than 10 times, right? You act like it’s your first time here.”

Jiang Xianyou carried the basket on his back and said to Zhao Linlin, “We should go now.”

Zhao Linlin was stunned.

We?

However, Jiang Xianyou was already walking forward with the basket on his back. He seemed to be saying it casually.

Zhao Linlin could only say to Yan Jinyu and the rest, “Call me if there’s anything. Zhao Qian, lead the way. If there’s anything you can’t handle, ask your Sister Jinyu.”

“I know.” After seeing Yan Jinyu’s move, Zhao Qian was very impressed and convinced by her now.

They formed two groups of four and headed in different directions.
