Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 13 King Cobra

"Is that enough?" Yunyi asked directly.

"That depends on how big of a house you want to build. If you include labor and materials, an adobe house will cost about three taels of silver, but a brick house will cost five or six taels. In addition, you also need to provide one meal a day." Xia Baolai was in a much better mood and spoke more patiently.

"Then let's build brick houses." Yunyi pondered for a moment. "My family is large, so we need to build at least ten rooms..." Anyway, we have money, so let's get it done all at once to avoid trouble later.

"Ten rooms? That would cost at least sixty taels of silver, you..."

“There will be.” Yunyi interrupted the village chief with a smile. “Village chief, please take care of the people. It’s the busy farming season now, and we can’t let everyone suffer. The wages will be the same as those in town, and I will also provide two full meals a day.”

Xia Baolai stared wide-eyed in surprise. Full meals included? That would cost at least twenty extra coins per person per day! Tianyin's wife really doesn't know how to manage money.

“Uncle Village Chief, it’s settled then.” Yunyi knew that the other party wanted to persuade her, so she cut him off directly. “I’ll go up the mountain later. I set a trap yesterday, and maybe I can catch a big one today. Then I won’t have to worry about money.”

Xia Baolai finally nodded and said, "Tianyin's wife, it's best if you can do this. Don't worry, I'll call someone over in a bit. They can stay where you were before."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Village Chief." Yunyi nodded, glanced at Er Ya and the others, and said, "Let's go back and have breakfast." She still had to go into the mountains later, so she had to at least make an appearance. After all, she was afraid that people might not accept it if she suddenly took out so much silver.

At breakfast, everyone looked at Yunyi with hesitant eyes, but she ignored them and went up the mountain with her basket and axe after breakfast.

This time she didn't plan to hunt, but to dig for medicinal herbs. She found quite a few along the way yesterday, and roughly estimated that getting a few taels of silver shouldn't be a problem.

However, she underestimated her luck, because the route she took this time was slightly different from yesterday's, and as a result, she discovered a century-old ginseng.

But before they could even rejoice, a large, gray-black snake, as thick as an arm, darted out from the side.

Yunyi's lips curled up. She remembered that when she was doing missions in the Three Thousand Small Worlds, the first world was a story about a domineering CEO's cruelty. The beginning was hellish. As the domineering CEO's vicious original wife, after making things difficult for the CEO's white moonlight, she was thrown into the black market in Myanmar. The original owner was scared to death, and she transmigrated there. So, when she woke up, she was in a snake pit. The first thing she saw was the flat head of a king cobra, which almost scared her to death, and she ended the mission immediately.

Fortunately, it was just a farmed snake with its fangs removed, meant to scare the host.

I never expected to encounter someone like me again.

However, this is a wild king cobra, which is one of the most venomous snakes.

"I'm really lucky." Yunyi smiled. Ginseng is silver, and so is this king cobra.

Perhaps it was the murderous aura emanating from Yunyi that made the king cobra hesitate, but its instincts led it to attack directly, even spraying venom during the attack.

Relying on her agile body, Yun dodged two attacks and then swung her long-handled axe, striking the opponent's tail.

Fortunately, the other party was fast and dodged skillfully, otherwise that blow would have hit him on the head.

Perhaps sensing that it had no chance of winning, the king cobra turned and ran.

"Trying to run? No way." Yun Yi wasn't about to let the silver she had gotten her hands on slip away. She immediately swung her axe, ready to throw it. If it hit, that guy would be decapitated.

"Boss, go easy on him." Sixteen rushed over at the crucial moment.

Yunyi stopped moving: "You know him?"

"I don't know it, but we can be friends. Wait, I'll go talk to it." Sixteen darted out immediately.

Yunyi: ...

Forget about that for now, let's dig out the ginseng first.

With practiced ease, he quickly dug out the ginseng intact. However, due to the lack of suitable tools, some of the roots were damaged, but it did not affect the overall situation.

Just as they finished wrapping the ginseng, Sixteen rushed back.

Boss, that snake is willing to surrender.

"Hmm? Surrender?" Yun Yi laughed. "Is it planning to bite me when I'm not looking? Why can't I skin it and sell it for money? Besides, you know that king cobras are valuable from head to toe. One snake alone could probably be exchanged for a house."

sixteen:……

Boss, is there some misunderstanding? Or some kind of psychological trauma?

Yunyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

It's here. Look at its behavior! It really wants to stay with you, at least to keep me company.

The king cobra really did swim over, hissing at Yun Yi.

Yunyi narrowed her eyes and reached out to pinch the other person's vital spot.

Just as Yunyi reached out her hand, the king cobra suddenly lunged and bit at Yunyi's wrist in the blink of an eye.

However, a snapping sound was heard, and the king cobra's body froze, because its pale wrist had somehow transformed into a small axe.

Even the strongest snake fangs aren't as hard as iron. In that instant, all of his snake fangs fell out with a crackling sound.

Sixteen was stunned, and the king cobra was dumbfounded.

Yun Yi laughed, flicking her wrist and grabbing the other's vital point. Did they really think she was a naive and innocent girl? Sixteen is just a bunch of data. How long has it been since she got a physical body? How could she possibly understand such a complex mind? A venomous snake is a venomous snake. It's possible that some are kept as pets, but she doesn't believe in the idea that one can tame a wild beast with a single move. This isn't a cultivation world.

Boss, I was wrong.

"Well, so you're not suited to be a living being; you're better suited to be a bunch of data."

sixteen:……

Heartbroken.

Yunyi entered Carp Town without disguising herself, and soon after entering the town, she ran into an acquaintance.

"Sister Fang." A woman turned back and chased after Yunyi not long after they passed each other. "Why didn't you say hello when you saw me? I was just about to go back to the village to look for you."

Looking at the woman in front of her wearing silver hairpins, silver bracelets, and silver earrings, Yunyi quickly recalled the woman: Xia Xiaoyue, the original owner's best friend, and the youngest daughter of Xia Fugui in the village.

Xia Fugui is the cousin of Xia Baolai, the village chief.

The original owner of this body was married off to the neighboring Pear Tree Village in the second month after being bought.

Her husband's name is Liu Daneng, and he is the only son of the village chief of Lishu Village.

Lishu Village is about ten miles away from Xiajiazhuang, but the land there is much flatter and more fertile, and life there is much better than in Xiajiazhuang.
