I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 27 Ahhhhh! snake!

After returning to the Earth Temple, Ji Zhao, leaning against the corner, seriously thought about ways to make money.

Now that there have been severe droughts for several years, among the several nearby villages, only the villagers of Shanghe Village, which is close to the river, have a slightly better life, at least every household can barely eat.

Other villages were devastated by the drought.

Ji Zhao thought for a while, then knelt devoutly in front of the statue of the Lord of the Earth.

"Grandfather of the land, I beg you to be merciful, and ask the Dragon Lord to let the rain fall sooner!"

Ji Zhao knew that calling the wind and rain was not within the jurisdiction of the father-in-law of the land, but she still held a pious heart and earnestly kowtowed to the statue of the land three times.

After staying in the Earth Temple for a short rest, Ji Zhao was going to go out for a walk to see if he could catch more pheasants.

After walking four or five miles to the east, she only saw barren hills.

Ji Zhao sighed in frustration.

hiss hiss~

Just when Ji Zhao was about to stop to rest, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.

She caught a glimpse of the swaying reeds in front of her, held her breath and approached cautiously——

When she saw it clearly, she was completely dumbfounded!

I saw a thick red snake opened its mouth wide, and quickly bit the pheasant's neck!

The pheasant was still struggling in pain, fluttering its feathers all over the ground!

Finally, the pheasant gradually gave up struggling.

Ji Zhao picked up a sharp stone from the ground, then seized the right moment and rushed up!

The snake returned to the west before it could swallow the whole pheasant.

Panting heavily, Ji Zhao first pulled the pheasant out of the snake's mouth.

Finally, he coiled up the dead snake and put it in the cloth bag on his body.

Snake gallbladder is a treasure, maybe it can be exchanged for some silver.

At dusk, smoke rose from every household in Shanghe Village.

Ji Zhao came to the Shen family compound again with a full pannier on his back.

Zhao Lanhua was feeding the chickens in the yard, when she heard Ji Zhao's voice, she hurriedly responded.

"Mother, I found a lot of wild shepherd's purse!" Ji Zhao hurriedly put down his pannier, and said happily, "I also found a wild hawthorn tree in the back mountain!"

"Come here and wash your face!" Seeing her sweating profusely, Zhao Lanhua greeted with a smile.

"Eh!"

Ji Zhao quickly washed his face, and instantly felt refreshed.

"Mother, what kind of luck is this, A Tao? I also went around the back mountain with Aunt Osmanthus in the afternoon, but I didn't find anything." Second Aunt Shen stared at the full basket of shepherd's purse, envious.

Zhao Lanhua frowned thoughtfully.

Is A Tao's luck too good?

"Mother, shall we eat dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse?" Second Aunt Shen suggested with a bright smile.

"Okay." Zhao Lanhua readily agreed.

"Mother, can you take me to the county again tomorrow?" Ji Zhao thought for a while, but still spoke out the plea in his heart.

"Go to the county seat? What to do?"

"I want to sell snakes," Ji Zhao said with a bright smile as he lowered his head and took out the dead snake from his cloth bag.

"Ahhhhh! Snake!"

Second Sister-in-law Shen is most afraid of snakes, she screamed in horror!

"Second sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I have already killed this snake!" Ji Zhao gestured anxiously, "If you don't believe me, touch it, it's completely cold..."

"Stop!" Shen Erlang, who had just returned home, heard his mother-in-law's screams, rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, threw away the snake in Ji Zhao's hand without saying a word, and raised his arms to beat him up She said, "You poisonous woman, how dare you scare my wife with a snake!"

Ji Zhao subconsciously raised his arm to dodge, but the expected slap did not fall.
