Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

Shen Shuyi smiled gently and said, "Of course I am afraid. During the years I was in the Jade Buddha Temple, I met many companions who were about your age. They were all very capable. Not only could they catch snakes with their bare hands, they also dared to perform and even play with snakes."

Shen Jinglin was stunned for a few seconds: "They...are they so brave?"

"Yes, you don't know. Although I am afraid, I admire them very much in my heart. Think about it, they are so brave at such a young age. Why worry about not being able to make achievements and kill enemies in battle when they grow up?"

Shen Shuyi's face was full of seriousness, with some longing and admiration in his eyes.

"Later, I heard that they were spotted by a general who went to pray for blessings, and he took them in directly. Although they were not old enough and could only start as the most basic soldiers, you can imagine that since they have registered with the general, they will definitely achieve success in the future."

Shen Jinglin never thought that just a few snakes could cause so much trouble.

Although he had never heard of anything involving snakes, he had heard in books that in the previous dynasty there was a young man who was born with supernatural powers and captured a tiger by himself.

This matter was heard by the emperor at that time, who summoned him personally, promoted him to a higher position, and he later became a god of war.

In the current Daqian Dynasty, tigers are not common, but snakes are many.

Therefore, what Shen Shuyi, this woman, said was not wrong. The fact that he dared to catch the snake was enough to prove his bravery.

Shen Shuyi noticed his expression and continued, "Brother Lin, are your usual playmates not so convinced of you? Do you know how to make them respect and admire you?"

Shen Jinglin's eyes rolled around: "Catch the snake?"

Shen Shuyi shook his head and said, "You have to make them fear you first. Only when they are afraid of you and you win them over with kindness, will they truly obey you."

"What does Second Sister mean? What should I do?" Shen Jinglin frowned, not quite understanding.

Shen Shuyi threw the snake in his hand aside, then gently touched Shen Jinglin's hair and said softly: "You know what? In fact, the more timid people are, the more they appreciate and admire brave people, and the more they like to be friends with such people."

Shen Jinglin still frowned, as if he still hadn't figured out what to do.

Shen Shuyi continued: "Brother Lin, think about it, do you like to be friends with brave and powerful people?"

Shen Jinglin nodded subconsciously: "I like it!"

Among the people who played with them, there was one whose father was a deputy general. He had also been to the battlefield with them and was said to have killed a bandit. Because of this, he was highly respected by his companions and was very proud of himself.

But his father was a civil servant and he had no such opportunity.

He wanted to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy when he grew up, but his mother wouldn't let him do that. She just made him read those boring books.

"Yuping, ask Madam Fang to deliver the snacks I bought at Qianweilou today to Lin'er later." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.

"Yes." Yuping responded quickly.

Shen Jinglin was a little confused, but looking at the encouragement in Shen Shuyi's eyes, he inexplicably felt eager to try.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Although I am a few years older than you, I admire and envy young men who are brave and fearless. Brother Lin is not only handsome, but also has the demeanor of a great general. If you continue to be so brave, I dare not say anything else. In the future, if you want to eat or play, just come to me, Second Sister."

"Okay, I get it. But isn't Second Sister angry or hates me?" Shen Jinglin couldn't help but ask again.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Which child isn't naughty? But other children may not have the courage and insight of Lin Ge'er. With this courage and insight, Lin Ge'er will surely have a group of companions who will truly protect him in the future."

Shen Jinglin was rarely happy and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, second sister!"

"Go ahead." Shen Shuyi said gently.

Shen Jinglin scratched his head and ran away with the two servants.

Shen Shuyi stood there, looking at his back with a smile on her face, but her eyes faded.

Jinzhu finally recovered a lot, but her face was still pale: "Miss..."

She knew that the young lady must have a hidden meaning behind this, but she just couldn't figure it out at the moment.

Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and said in a gentle voice: "Of course we have to give him some sweet treats. After all, even if today's incident gets out of hand, grandma and father will only accuse him of being naughty, which is not a big deal."

"But he will only pay the price if he gets a taste of success and becomes even more aggressive and offends someone he shouldn't offend."

Shen Shuyi's voice was very soft. Yuping and Jinzhu felt inexplicably cold, yet also somewhat pleased.

Jinzhu couldn't help but say, "The young master usually plays with young masters from various mansions. If the young master scares someone to death, other families will inevitably come to the door. Then no matter how much the master wants to protect him, he will have to give an explanation."

Shen Shuyi pulled the corner of his lip slightly: "This is considered his good luck."

After all, those who can play with Shen Jinglin basically have the same family background as him. If they are provoked, the two families can rely on their friendship to negotiate.

But Shen Jinglin would be in trouble if he offended someone he really couldn't afford to offend.

Shen Shuyi stopped beside the bushes, his eyes fell on the snakes that had not yet crawled away, and said to Yuping: "Yuping, catch two and take them back. Send someone to ask Lin Ge'er in the evening if he wants to eat snake soup."

Yu Ping was stunned for a few seconds, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes."

Having caught snakes many times in the Jade Buddha Temple, Yuping seemed quite skilled. After a short while, she caught three snakes and put them into the bag. Jinzhu was so frightened that she took two steps away.

"The young master must not have the courage to eat it." Jinzhu couldn't help but speak. Shen Jinglin relied on Qin's favor to be arrogant and domineering, but when it came to real ability, he had very little.

Shen Shuyi's almond eyes were cold: "You just need to tell him that snakes replenish qi and blood, dredge meridians, and are especially suitable for people with weak constitutions and muscle and bone pain. They have a great tonic effect. If he hadn't caught the snake, he should have given it to his second brother."

Yu Ping reacted and said quickly: "I understand."

Shen Shuyi didn't say anything else, but instead recalled things from his previous life.

In her previous life, she married Xiao Tingshan, and it was a few years later that his identity as a prince came to light. By that time, the prince Shen Jingyu had married had already declined in power and had completely lost hope of becoming the crown prince.

Therefore, the Shen family naturally thought of their daughter.

Relying on her relationship, Shen Jing'an was highly regarded by Xiao Tingshan and had a successful career. Shen Jinglin was also lucky. By chance, he entered the army and was protected by her people. He actually made a name for himself and became a famous young general.

But at that time, she was too stupid and was blinded by Qin's kindness. She thought that no matter what, Shen Jingan and Shen Jinglin were her half-brothers after all, and they would be closer to her than to others.

But she didn't expect that Shen Jing'an climbed to the top by stepping on his brother's corpse, and Shen Jinglin, greedy for military merit, was willing to betray her master who replaced him in the army, resulting in the tragic deaths of 30,000 soldiers!
