Chapter 68: Star Family Chapter 7

  Whether it was Tianbo or Suoluo, this was the first time they had seen a snake at such close range, alive and not in a zoo with keepers watching or locked in a display case, so both of them changed color instantly.

  The snake said it was not big, but small, and in fact, it was not small at all. Its body was roughly over a meter long, two or three centimeters thick, with a triangular head, alternating green and black sections, slowly swaying its body towards the direction of Jiangmiao.

  What's going on? What's happening?

  Although they were mentally prepared and knew there would be a snake, both girls' first reactions were panic and fear.

  Before this moment, Tian Bo had been full of expectations, hoping to move Jiang Miao with her fearless performance and win his love and respect, thus becoming a divine couple in the entertainment industry, achieving both career and romantic success. But when she really faced such a terrifying creature, she found herself unable to do it, really unable to do it! No matter how much money or benefits were offered, she just couldn't do it!

  In her moment of hesitation, the snake drew closer again.

  At last, in the instant when her eyes met those of the snake, she collapsed, dropped Jiang Miao and ran towards the shore.

  "Ahhhhhhh! There's a snake! Ahhhhhhhh! Help! He ran while screaming and wailing."

  At this shout, the two men who were closest also appeared and both instantly turned pale.

  Su Luo didn't make a sound, but her face was as white as paper, and all the goosebumps on her body stood up. She had been especially afraid of snakes, insects and other creepy-crawlies since she was little, even earthworms scared her.

  Waaah, what to do!

  Waaah! Mom! Dad!

  If she hadn't been afraid of startling the snake, she would have screamed like Tian Bo, and even louder, but now she could only bite her lip tightly.

  Don't panic! It looks scary but it's not highly toxic, you won't die from it.

  She kept hinting to herself, forcing herself to calm down.

  Jiang Miao is a Christian and immediately shouted: "Lord!"

  Suo Luo stood still at the shore and scolded her in a low voice: "Xiao Ning, hurry up and get on shore!" He would rather be bitten himself than let the little girl get hurt.

  Su Luo was really scared out of her wits, she had never been so scared from childhood till now!

  Originally still hesitated whether to go over there.

  But anyway, Teacher Jiang will definitely not escape being bitten.

  In the past, with one's own hands, if quick enough, there was a great possibility of catching the snake and neither person would have been harmed.

  But then I have to touch the snake, it's a snake!

  How disgusting! How terrifying is this snake!

  Do we really have to catch it?!

  Her heart was at war with heaven and man, for a moment she even wanted to turn around and run away.

  At that moment when she heard Jiang Miao urging her to go ashore, she made up her mind and decided not to let Teacher Jiang be bitten no matter what, at least she had to try her best!

  Teacher Jiang is such a good person, at this time she still doesn't forget her safety, and can't be so selfish! Clearly knowing there would be snakes beforehand, although unable to stop the filming, but just letting Teacher Jiang get bitten like that, she really will have a guilty conscience.

  Time waits for no man, nor does the snake.

  She bit her lip hard, so that she tasted the blood in her mouth, and only under the stimulation of pain did she sober up a little. Then, she arched her body, carefully approached the snake, trying not to make any noise, avoiding startling it.

  No, it's not what he thought!

  The little girl not only didn't run away, but also came towards this direction, looking like she was going to catch the snake. Jiang Miao panicked, thoroughly panicked, his heart was in his throat.

  "What's all the commotion! Hurry up and get ashore!" The voices were all trembling.

  Suoluo didn't seem to hear him, and he shouted at Li Dao again: "Li Dao, quickly, pull Xiaoying away!"

  "Oh! Oh!" Li finally came back to his senses and was about to go pull Su Luo.

  As a result, his body was too fat and clumsy, the water was slippery, he didn't run two steps before "splashing" into the water, splashing up a huge wave, and immediately became self-defeating, naturally unable to hold onto Suoluo.

  Jiang Mo didn't bother to look at Director Li, who was covered in mud and dust, and continued to urge Su Luo Luo: "Shen Ning, get the hell out of here! This isn't a time for you to show off!"

  The voice was still not daring to be too loud, but the tone was extremely severe.

  "Listen, go ashore and call someone over, it'll be fine, I guarantee it, Teacher Jiang."

  "This snake is not something you can just catch as you wish, it's too dangerous. Why don't we go find someone to help us instead?"

  He felt that he was incoherent and didn't know whether to be fierce or gentle, as if the little girl couldn't listen to either tone.

  "Damn it!" Although he knew that the rope was tied so tightly on his body, it was impossible to break free. He still hurriedly pulled Su Luo while using force to twist and turn, holding onto a thread of hope that he could break free. In just two strokes, his wrist had already been rubbed bloody, but it was still useless.

  Su Luo stared intently at the snake, throwing all distractions aside. Finally, she moved.

  At the moment when the ring-shaped snake was about to pounce on Jiang Miao, she also made a move, swiftly striking towards the legendary "Seven Inches".

  "Ahhhhhhhh!"

  She succeeded.

  As she felt the slippery scales in her palm, sensing the icy body of the snake struggling to break free from her grasp, she knew she had succeeded. But at this moment, fear also reached its peak.

  That cry was not one of joy, but a most mournful outburst.

  The snake's tail quickly wrapped around her arm, getting tighter and tighter, feeling like the blood under her skin couldn't flow anymore.

  The huge snake's mouth was wide open, spitting out bright red letters, and those sharp fangs were making a hissing sound, as if it was threatening her.

  One man, one snake, staring each other down, waiting to see who can hold out until the end.

  Su Luo was so scared that she didn't dare look, her only remaining instinct was to close her eyes and scream loudly.

  Jiang Miao's eyes were all red, and something just burst out. Never seen a little girl so hysterical, as if she was using her entire life to scream, but she still tightly grasped the snake in her hand, not letting it escape, afraid it would hurt him. This made him feel so moved! So heartbroken! He wished he could press her into his bones and blood!

  Damn the rope, it was tied so tightly, he used all his strength but still couldn't get free, and could only watch as she teetered on the edge of a terrified breakdown, helpless.

  Despair and self-blame made him wish he were dead, but he forced himself to calm down and comfort his brave yet fragile little girl:

  "Good boy, don't be afraid, it'll be alright soon, just hold on a bit longer, yes, you're doing great, you can do it, you saved me. Good boy, don't let go, like this..."

  Li struggled to get up and saw that Su had already subdued the snake. At first, he was delighted, but then he realized that she wasn't skilled at catching snakes and was instead relying on brute force to hold it down, her voice hoarse from shouting. She seemed like she might pass out at any moment and was frantically waving her hands around. He didn't know whether he should go help her take the snake away, but he himself didn't know how either. If they didn't handle it properly and someone got bitten, that would be even worse.

  The commotion was so great that it startled the people on the shore, who knew what had happened and were all shouting "Who will catch the snake? Who can catch the snake?"

  "Hurry up, you men go and help Xiao Ning, she's too pitiful!" "Untie the ropes on Teacher Jiang's body, he's almost driven mad."

  "I'll catch snakes, where are the snakes?"

  "Quickly, over there, in that little girl's hand."

  "Everyone, make way, this uncle says he can catch snakes."

  "Too good! Too good!"

  A beach administrator heard someone calling for help to catch a snake, and he came forward voluntarily. He was pulled and dragged by the anxious staff all the way to Suoluo's side.

  Others also put down their work and followed, with several helping to untie the ropes on Jiang Miao's body.

  "You can let go now." The uncle controlled the snake's head and signaled for Suoluo to let go.

  Kasulolo was still immersed in her own world, still tightly grasping, and didn't hear others calling her.

  Just then, Jiang Miao also untied the restraints on his body and wrapped her in his arms. His right hand gently stroked her back, while his left hand covered her right hand that was holding the snake. He spoke softly to comfort her: "It's okay, it's all over. The uncle has taken away the snake, we can let go now. Good girl, shall we let go?"

  Time and time again.

  Others didn't leave either, they stayed nearby to keep her company. Many women were so sad that they cried.

  Slowly, Su Luo's convulsions eased a bit, her eyes cleared up some, and she stopped screaming. Only then did Jiang Mian try to carefully pry open the hands that gripped the snake's body.

  Finally, the five fingers completely left the snake's body. It seemed that Sulolo knew that the nightmare was over, and with a flick of his eyelids, he lost consciousness.

  Fortunately, Jiang Miao was holding onto her and when he felt the force in his hands suddenly drop, he quickly picked her up, thanked the snake-catching master, and headed towards the shore.

  "Waaah, I'm really scared to death! Xiao Ning is so brave! She dares to catch such a scary snake. As for me, I'd rather be bitten than dare to do that."

  "She's not brave at all, she's scared out of her wits, crying like that, it's really heartbreaking."

  "Xiao Ning was also too righteous, at this time she didn't abandon Teacher Jiang, if it wasn't for her, Teacher Jiang would have been bitten today. By the way, Master, is this snake venomous?"

  "How is that, you see this tooth, inside it hides the venom. But if treated in time, this snake is not fatal, unlike the five-step snake which is much more vicious. Do you guys still want it? If not, can I have it?" The master opens the snake's mouth to show everyone and asks if they want it again.

  "Take it away, take it away, hurry up and take it away, it's too scary! And never let Xiaoning see it again, I'm afraid she'll have nightmares for the rest of her life."

  "That's good, then I won't be polite, go back and soak in wine." The master happily carried the snake that he had already beaten to death away.

  "Yes, after being called out, it's all quiet in the back. How scary is that? How did this happen? I don't know if we can continue filming today."

  "The beauty saves the hero, if I were Teacher Jiang, I would definitely be moved to tears."

  "It's not moving enough, you guys didn't see Teacher Jiang's eyes were red, he was heartbroken! Just now when he sent Xiaoning back, he insisted on not letting anyone else take over, when have you ever seen him care so much about any female artist?"

  "It seems like the iceberg of a thousand years is going to collapse this time! But I'm rooting for this couple haha!"

  "I also think the two are a good match, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful! And when they're filming fight scenes, it really feels like they're martial arts heroes. Every time I just want to tell that someone to get lost and not drag down our show's ratings, replacing her with Xiaoning would be great!"

  "Huh? Who was that again? Not the one who kept calling 'Jiang Miao gege' and saying 'I've liked you since I was little', but ran away with their tail between their legs as soon as they encountered danger? Is this what they call liking someone?"

  "Still our little hearts are heavy with emotion..."

  The shooting was interrupted, and everyone was discussing the gossip just now. Many people became CP powder of Su Luo Luo and Jiang Wei, while Tian Bi became a joke.
