Chapter Thirty-Three

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, and he glanced silently at the Tiancan beside him. Why did this guy feel so much like Fa Hai? As he wondered, the black shadow in mid-air suddenly stopped, and Cheng Zihan only then realized that it was a snake as thick as an arm. The snake's body was multicolored, and Cheng Zihan had never seen such a snake before, and for a moment, he was also somewhat startled.

  But after being amazed, it's fear.

  My god, this snake must be highly venomous! One bite and you're a dead man!

  The snake proudly raised its head, looked at the sky silkworm with disdain, and in those light green eyes, there was actually a hint of humanized contempt.

  Cheng Zihan is afraid of insects and all crawling soft-bodied animals, so naturally she is also afraid of snakes.

  It started because the snake looked really beautiful, and for a moment I forgot to be afraid. Now that I've reacted, I opened my mouth and let out a sharp cry: "Ah! Snake! There's a snake!"

  Cheng Haigang happened to be supervising the work, and when he heard Cheng Zihan's mournful cry from the bamboo forest, he was startled. He quickly picked up a shovel that was placed nearby and rushed in.

  Several workers also rushed in together.

  When Cheng Hai arrived, he only saw Cheng Zihan and Tian Can embracing each other, their bodies still trembling with fear, as if they had suffered a great shock.

  He looked around, didn't see any snake's shadow, only saw a piece of snakeskin with bloodstains on the ground, walked over, picked it up and sniffed it under his nose.

  "Zihuan, did you guys just see a snake?"

  Cheng Zihan's small face was pale, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking especially pitiful.

  "There are many venomous snakes here, you two little kids shouldn't be so mischievous and run in to play. That snake was probably injured and ran away, it might come back. Snakes hold grudges, let's go back first." After checking her over, making sure that Cheng Zihan wasn't hurt, Cheng Hai's heart finally calmed down.

  Taking two children out of the bamboo forest, Cheng Hai was still a bit worried and had someone send them back. He himself set up sheds with others.

  After they left, the small snake with colorful stripes that had appeared earlier crawled out of the pile of dead leaves again. Its originally smooth body now had a ferocious wound on it. Its light green eyes were filled with human-like hatred. It twisted its body several times before burrowing into the dead leaves once more.

  Cheng Zihan and Tian Can returned home, Tian Can was still smacking his lips, seemingly the snake meat was very delicious.

  Cheng Zihan was speechless towards him, could it be that this guy lured himself into the bamboo forest because he knew there were delicious and venomous snakes inside that he loved to eat?

  A worm actually likes to eat snakes? It's simply too incredible.

  "That snake is highly venomous, right? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?" Thinking about how she had almost been scared to death by a poisonous snake just now, Cheng Zihuan couldn't help but utter a poisonous curse at Tian Can.

  "Poison me? I'm the poison ancestor, how could that little thing possibly poison me. But it's really delicious. Zihan sister, let's go again next time, okay?" Tian Can said with a lingering expression.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched, this guy is addicted to eating snakes?

  "Don't go, don't go, if you want to go, you go yourself, it's too scary." Cheng Zihan still had a lingering fear, and every time she thought of the snake's appearance, she felt afraid, always feeling that something was not right.

  "After some thought, she asked Qin Ke Xiu again, 'Qin Ke Xiu, why did you want me to get that piece of land so badly? There's nothing special about it.'"

  Qin Kexiu suddenly spoke up, glancing at Cheng Zihan, "Under that bamboo forest, there's an ancient tomb site. Do you think the person competing with you for the bid came here to specially deal with this worthless land just because they had nothing better to do?"

  "What? Ancient tomb site? But isn't that a national protected area, can't be privately excavated, that's against the law, I don't do illegal things." Unexpectedly, there was actually an ancient tomb there, Cheng Zihuan really thought it was too unbelievable.

  Would she also want to follow the trend and be a tomb raider once?

  "Now it's hard for you to dig even if you want to, and I think those people won't let it go so easily, they will definitely come to trouble you. You need to be more careful during this period of time. I think they should take action soon." Qin Kexiu couldn't find the energy to despise Cheng Zihan anymore, he just gave her a light glance and then continued back into the Tree Spirit space.

  The Tree Spirit Space is quite suitable for a soul body like Qin Ke to live in, and there is Mang Cang to guide him, teaching him how to borrow a corpse to return his soul, and how to make his own soul power stronger, so as not to be decomposed by the natural world's strange decomposition force.

  Cheng Zihan heard this and felt a little worried in her heart, she didn't expect that after just coming back for not long, she would bring such great danger to her own family again.

  But what kind of people are they? Do they also know that there is an ancient tomb under the bamboo forest? Are they going to rob the tomb?

  Cheng Zihan had some doubts in her mind. Although she still didn't know what kind of people they were, Cheng Zihan understood that those people must have something to do with Zhou Ziran.

  It's Zhou Ziran again, entangled with him in this life and the last, it seems like there's no end to their complicated relationship.

  Thinking of a headache, Cheng Zihan shook her head and was about to walk into the house when a cup suddenly exploded at her feet. A shard even scratched her ankle, and fresh blood flowed out immediately.

  Tian Can's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the blood on Cheng Zihan's foot, and he was about to pounce over to suck the blood, but was held back by Cheng Zihan, "Tian Can, don't."

  She coldly stared at Lai Ying who had just smashed a cup over, this dead old woman was having another one of her episodes.

  "What do you mean?"

  "Hey, Zihan, what are you standing there for? Oh no, your foot is bleeding, how careless can you be?" Lai Ying heard the voice and pretended to be surprised, turning her head around to glance at Cheng Zihan before speaking in a pretentious tone.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes turned cold for a moment, but then he smiled faintly, "Yes, I don't know which heartless and immoral person is throwing things around everywhere. If you're not careful, you'll get hurt. Sigh, in this day and age, there are always many people without morals, it can't be helped."

  Lai Ying's face turned black when she heard this, and Cheng Zihuan was cursing her in a roundabout way. Unfortunately, she couldn't lose her temper, so she could only glare at Cheng Zihuan with hatred to vent her emotions.

  Cheng Zihan still didn't enter the house, really didn't want to see Lai Ying's face, afraid that she couldn't bear to beat her.

  After leaving, I felt a sense of unease. That bamboo forest probably has many venomous snakes. Generally, tombs are inhabited by snakes, let alone an ancient tomb?

  It's definitely not livable there, you never know when a snake will crawl onto your bed and sleep with you under the same blanket.

  Cheng Zihan felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.

  What should I do? It's better to find a place of our own, so that we can do things more conveniently in the future and don't have to worry about being seen by Lai Ying all the time and getting into trouble.

  Just as she was worried, she saw a person hurrying over. Cheng Zihang's eyes lit up and he quickly walked up to him.
