Suddenly, she sprang up like a carp leaping from the water. After inspecting the oblivious snake, she quickly gathered some thatched grass and twisted it into a thick grass rope. With determination, she wrapped the entire snake with the hemp cord, circling it tightly.
The grass rope she made was thick and layered, binding the snake from head to tail several times. Fortunately, since it was made of soft grass, it didn't harm the snake too much; otherwise, by the time they reached town, the snake would be covered in scratches and bruises, which would surely lower its value.
Once she finished tying it up, the snake was unrecognizable. From a distance, one might think someone had carelessly twisted a rope into a pillar. Xia Muxin clapped her hands and went to grab her backpack. Then she took hold of an extra length of grass rope and began to drag the python away.
Ming Yi watched her frail figure for a long time, still in shock. Just moments ago, her snake-catching technique had been so skillful and precise; she seemed like a professional snake catcher who knew exactly where the snake's weaknesses lay.
Such a strong girl made Ming Yi's throat feel a bit bitter. In the end, he couldn't help but give Shen Muhan a thumbs-up, thinking to himself: Sir, you are so calm.
Shen Muhan shot him a sharp glance. Ming Yi shivered and jumped down from the tree. Looking at the trail of wild chicken feathers scattered around, he couldn't help but sigh. That damned golden python had eaten nine of his wild chickens, yet it couldn't even defeat a scrawny girl. It truly tarnished his reputation as a sword saint.
Moreover, with such a humiliating defeat, it was no wonder Sir didn’t allow him to step in and save the day.
Deservedly so!
Shen Muhan stared at Xia Muxin's disappearing figure for a long time before finally breaking into a smile. A few hidden guards lurking in the shadows trembled at the corners of their mouths, rubbing their eyes repeatedly as they warned themselves that they must be seeing things.
The thousand-year ice mountain had actually smiled...
"What's wrong, sister? You're all dirty!"
Xia Muxin struggled to drag the half-unconscious Python to their cart. She tossed the Grass Rope aside and collapsed onto the ground, exhausted. Xia Xiaosong, who had just picked a basket full of Gynostemma, hurriedly set it down and ran over to her sister, concern etched on her face.
Seeing Xia Muxin looking so worn out brought tears to Xia Xiaosong's eyes.
After resting for a moment with her eyes closed, Xia Muxin opened them to find Xia Xiaosong watching her with worry. Her heart ached at the sight, and she quickly reassured her, "I'm fine, just a bit tired."
"Songzi, is that you? Your sister is back?" From a distance, Summer Forest approached, dragging a bundle of firewood with her shoulder. Noticing Xia Xiaosong standing still, she called out loudly and quickened her pace.
Not wanting to worry her family, Xia Muxin pushed herself up using the cart for support. She took a big gulp of water from a bamboo tube before saying, "Dad, come help me. We need to hurry to Town."
Xia Muxin placed the Firewood at the back of the cart while calling for Summer Forest to assist. Summer Forest felt a pang in her heart as she realized her daughter must have hunted something again. She quickly moved over to the cart and, with Xia Xiaosong's help, lifted the bundle of firewood onto it.
"Songzi, when we reach the intersection, you should head back first. Dad and I will go to Town so that Mom and your brother won't worry."
Xia Muxin loaded the snake's tail onto the cart while instructing Xia Xiaosong and then went to lift the snake's head portion.
