As he thought this, Liu Huihui, still in his arms, began to grow restless.
Her soft, seemingly boneless hands snuck into his clothes once more. They began to caress his broad chest, occasionally pressing gently on his firm pectoral muscles.
This reignited the fire in Liu Ergou, which he had just managed to quell. This time, it burned even fiercer than before. The passion from earlier had been forcibly suppressed, and the cumulative desire now surged through him with immense force.
It was no exaggeration to say he felt hot enough for flames to spew from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Panting heavily, Liu Ergou said, "Hui Hui, don't mess around!"
"Auntie Guifang might be…"
Hui Hui interrupted him before he could finish.
"No, Brother Er Gou, I only like you. If you like me too, then today you should..."
Saying this, Hui Hui fell silent and closed her eyes.
Liu Ergou understood her meaning perfectly. He immediately leaned down, and their lips met. The moment they kissed, they became inseparable.
Liu Ergou, once clumsy, had become much more adept after his recent experiences. Guiding the inexperienced Hui Hui was proving to be remarkably simple.
A long moment passed before they finally pulled apart.
Hui Hui's face was completely flushed. She whispered, "Brother Er Gou, take me. Once it's a done deal, even my mother won't be able to do anything about it! Then you can come to my house and formally propose! I refuse to believe my mom could be so heartless, unless her heart is made of stone!"
Hearing her words, Liu Ergou nodded vigorously. "Mm, I understand! Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you well from now on!"
With that said, Liu Ergou took off his shirt and laid it on a clean patch of ground. They exchanged a smile and lay down together.
The moment they lay down, Liu Ergou could wait no longer. He pressed toward Hui Hui's chest, took her small hand, and placed it on his own body.
"Good girl, help me."
"Okay..." Hui Hui agreed shyly, her small hand beginning to travel toward his lower body. It soon reached its destination.
Just as Hui Hui was about to begin, she suddenly said, "Brother Er Gou, what's happening? I think a drop of water fell on my leg. It's so cold! And it's moving upward! What is that?"
Liu Ergou, who had been panting heavily, was jolted to his senses by her words.
Water? How can there be water? I specifically chose a clean spot; there's no way it's wet. Besides, even if there was water, it would flow down, not up. That means...
In an instant, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Liu Ergou, extinguishing his burning desire and snapping him sober.
Swallowing hard, Liu Ergou whispered, "Hui Hui, let go of me. Remember, do it very slowly. Don't rush!"
Hearing the serious tone in his voice, Hui Hui panicked. "What's wrong, Brother Er Gou?" she asked pitifully.
Liu Ergou didn't answer, instead gently patting her arm, signaling for her to let go.
Hui Hui froze for a moment before carefully raising her hand and releasing him.
At the same time, Liu Ergou carefully lifted her skirt up to the tops of her thighs.
By the light of the moon, Liu Ergou saw clearly what Hui Hui's "water drop" really was.
It wasn't a water drop at all. It was a small, pitch-black snake, about a dozen centimeters long. Most importantly, it had a triangular head. Only venomous snakes have triangular heads.
The small snake was coiled around Hui Hui's thigh, slithering slowly upward and flicking its forked tongue from time to time. In that instant, Liu Ergou's mind went blank.
The Wudu Snake! The most venomous snake in Fengzhu Village! There is no other more poisonous! For every ten people it bites, eight of them can't be saved!
At that moment, the Wudu Snake, still flicking its tongue, continued to climb, about to enter the shadowed valley above.
Hui Hui also realized something was terribly wrong. Her voice took on a tearful quaver. "Brother... Er Gou... that's not a drop of water on my leg, is it? Th-then... what is it!"
Hearing the sobs in Hui Hui's voice, Liu Ergou quickly reached out and covered her eyes.
He then whispered soothingly, "Hui Hui, listen to me. Whatever you do, don't move. Leave everything to me. Only move when I tell you to." His voice suddenly became stern. "Do you hear me?"
Hui Hui immediately hummed her assent.
Once she agreed, Liu Ergou's gaze sharpened. He carefully extended his hand, aiming for the snake's vital spot.
Just as Liu Ergou prepared to snatch the venomous snake, Hui Hui, who had been perfectly still, suddenly shuddered—perhaps from the cold touch of the snake's scales. Instantly, the slowly crawling Wudu Snake raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and sank its fangs into the top of Hui Hui's thigh.
It happened so fast that Liu Ergou had no time to react. Before he knew it, the snake had already bitten her.
A sharp cry of pain escaped Hui Hui's lips.
In that same moment, Liu Ergou lunged. He seized the snake's vital spot and, with a surge of strength in his fingers, squeezed it in two. He immediately flung the pieces aside.
The severed snake, now in two pieces, writhed frantically on the ground, as if unable to die in peace.
Ignoring the snake, Liu Ergou hurriedly parted Hui Hui's legs to examine the bite. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelFɪre.net
The bite was high on her inner thigh, an extremely awkward position. This made administering aid very difficult; the slightest misstep could be seen as inappropriate.
It was a truly vexing problem. Liu Ergou sighed as he looked at the location of the bite.
How am I supposed to treat this? This is a huge predicament!
As Liu Ergou hesitated, Hui Hui's trembling voice broke the silence. "B-Brother Er Gou... why... why does it hurt so much there? It feels like it's on fire!"
