"Jiang Zhiyun, I'm giving you money today. Don't tell anyone about this."

"Mm." Jiang Zhiyun nodded. She really had no interest in getting involved in Jiang Zhiwan's affairs.

As long as she doesn't come looking for trouble.

Jiang Zhiwan got what she wanted and started walking down the mountain. She hadn't gone far when she turned around and saw a green snake hanging on the path in front of her.

It just stared at her with its forked tongue sticking out, its eyes quite frightening.

She stood there, stunned, without uttering a sound. Changing routes at this point would be easy, but sending this snake to deal with Jiang Zhiyun…

Jiang Zhiwan had a new idea in mind.

Jiang Zhiyun swindled her out of two taels of silver, so now she'll let this snake bite Jiang Zhiyun! She'll make sure he dies here without a burial place.

Jiang Zhiwan might not understand how to lure other snakes, but this snake had a bright red tail and was mostly blue. This kind of snake was venomous, and extremely venomous at that. In her past life, many people in the village had died from being bitten by one of these snakes.

Jiang Zhiyun's time to die has come.

At least we can get revenge for the last time we were drowned in a pig cage.

Jiang Zhiwan took out a few eggs from the small basket she had brought, and then pretended to be looking for something, quickly throwing them in the direction of Jiang Zhiyun!

The last egg smashed against the rock wall beside Jiang Zhiyun.

Jiang Zhiwan was terrified, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Yunniang, I brought some hard-boiled eggs for you to have. Consider it a thank you for the herbs."

After saying that, she turned and walked down the mountain along a small path in the opposite direction.

Jiang Zhiwan knew that the snakes in the mountains liked to eat dirty live animals such as birds, earthworms, and eels. In addition, snakes preferred to eat various bird eggs, followed by wild chicken eggs and wild duck eggs.

I happened to have boiled some eggs and brought them to the mountains to eat today, and they've come in handy.

Jiang Zhiwan didn't want to be bitten by a snake, and in the process of running, she even lost her basket.

Sure enough, the bamboo viper sped towards Jiang Zhiyun, following the direction of the food.

Jiang Zhiyun reacted quickly. Seeing the snake making a big fuss, she quickly grabbed the dagger she had brought and watched as the snake rushed towards her.

Maintaining a safe distance, she swiftly grabbed the snake's head from the side, about seven inches behind it, with her other hand, which wasn't holding the dagger. Once she had it, she could simply stab it in the heart with the dagger!

"Swish!"

The snake darted past her at its vital spot, too fast for Jiang Zhiyun to catch. Then, the snake quickly turned and began to attack her. Jiang Zhiyun, agile as ever, immediately crouched down, and then, just as the snake lunged forward…

She calculated the distance, quickly grabbed the snake's tail, and then spun it around in a circle to prevent it from turning. This is because the snake's venom is mainly located on the sides of its head, behind its eyes, and stored in the jaw muscles.

If Jiang Zhiyun were to be targeted by its head and bitten by this highly venomous bamboo viper, she would either be unable to descend the mountain tonight or die!

Fortunately, she managed to grab the snake's tail, quickly spun it around, and then, as the snake slowed down, Jiang Zhiyun swiftly pinched its vital spot and plunged the dagger into its heart.

It couldn't be a fatal blow, and of course, Jiang Zhiyun didn't want that either.

He then threw the object stuck with the dagger directly into the basket he had brought to hold the snake.

To be honest, Jiang Zhiyun prepared a basket to hold the snake. It wasn't that she had foresight; she just thought she could bring it along in case she encountered one.

After dealing with the snake, Jiang Zhiyun went back to the direction from which the snake had come and walked to the side of the path where they were resting. Sure enough, hidden at the foot of the stone, the golden flowers were dazzling and very eye-catching.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be coated with a layer of wax, glistening and oily, with a semi-transparent feel. This is golden camellia.

It is a very precious variety of camellia, known as golden camellia, which is found in the southwestern border region.

This herb, when used as medicine, can bring patients with tuberculosis back to life and even revive those who are on the verge of death from a cold. It's practically a miracle drug.

Jiang Zhiyun carefully went over to dig.

Not to mention its simple medicinal effects, wealthy families buy golden camellia at high prices to maintain their health and improve their appearance.

In conclusion, this good herb is entirely beneficial.

Jiang Zhiyun had only heard Doctor Su mention this yesterday, and today she received it.

If Doctor Su knew, I wonder what he would think.

In short, Jiang Zhiyun was extremely excited at this moment. Mainly because snake was also a medicinal ingredient, which she had just seen in a book last night.

So, for some inexplicable reason, I brought a basket to catch snakes when I went out today. I was just trying it out, but I never expected to actually catch one.

Jiang Zhiyun was in a good mood as she thought about it.

This golden camellia plant, along with this snake, could fetch about fifty taels of silver. That's enough to buy two houses in town.

Jiang Zhiyun acted very quickly on her plan to save money and regain her freedom. Now, she felt quite confident.

Today, Jiang Zhiyun had pulled off a big job. She was covered in mud and her clothes were soaked. She was very satisfied with her haul.

Jiang Zhiyun picked a lot of mushrooms. Although she didn't encounter any termite mushrooms, she did find quite a few expensive ones, such as green-headed mushrooms, small red mushrooms, and boletus. She picked them all and took them back with her.

We learn as we go.

As for Jiang Zhiwan, after quickly running down the mountain, she headed towards her parents' home.

He said to Zhao Guifen, "Mother, good news!"

"Jiang Zhiyun was bitten by a snake and is almost dead."

"That eyesore is finally gone. When the villagers come to collect her body, we'll make sure to get all the money she lost from her injuries back!"

Zhao Guifen had begun to distrust her daughter.

Now he found these words even more unbelievable: "You're healthy, and so is Yunniang. Yunniang has done a lot of work since she was little, how could she die so easily? Are you dreaming?"

"If you get bitten by a snake, you'll die?"

"Bamboo viper, I saw that snake. It's vicious, and incurable."

"Jiang Zhiyun's days are numbered. She died from being bitten by a snake on the mountain, which has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Zhiwan distanced herself from the situation: "Anyway, I'll definitely go to the funeral. Hehe, Jiang Zhiyun is finally going to die. Her husband is gone, and this is how a widow dies. This is her final day."

"She still wants to compete with me and take my money. Jiang Zhiyun is really overestimating herself. She is not worthy. She is not even worthy to stand in front of me and carry my shoes."

Zhao Guifen initially didn't believe it, but seeing her eldest daughter's unwavering conviction, she became somewhat agitated: "Is that little nemesis finally going to die?"

“I’ve had bad luck these past few years since she was born. But a fortune teller told me that I shouldn’t have strangled my child, that would be a sin, so I’ve raised her until now.”

"I thought getting married would solve everything, but I didn't expect him to still be a jinx to me."
