NOVPUBChapter 980: 463 Mountain_3 Chapter 980: 463 Mountain_3 Aubree Groove opened the cabinet, took out a earthen-colored ceramic jar that looked a bit like a pickle jar.
When she opened the lid, a peculiar smell wafted out, causing a feeling of nausea.
“What is this?”
Aubree dug out a piece of black ointment and applied it to Anton Cook’s wound.
“Snake Oil Ointment.”
Anton, who was standing behind Aubree, quickly drew back, protecting Aubree from a green light flashing before his eyes.
His arm was entwined by a green snake, baring its fangs menacingly with snake forked tongue flickering.
Just as it was about to bite on Anton’s hand back, a cold voice resounded from behind: “Young Lady.”
The little snake suddenly stopped, turned its head to look at Aubree, surprisingly, Anton seemed to read a grievance in this little snake’s eyes.
...
This is totally unbelievable.
Aubree lightly shook her head.
The little snake darted onto Aubree, coiling around her arm and happily moving around.
Kelly Martinez shivered, “Ew, truly disgusting.”
Anton looked slightly uncomfortable.
Aubree maintained her composure: “It’s a Bamboo Green Snake, highly venomous.”
Anton’s pupils constricted: “So why did you still…..”
The little snake lay still in Aubree’s palm, rearing up its upper body and flicking its forked tongue. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Despite the scene being somewhat gruesome, within the snake’s eyes there appeared to be a glimmer as if in water, reflecting its pitiful appearance.
Aubree lifted her hand and pat the Bamboo Green Snake’s head, who then rubbed its head against Aubree’s palm.
“All creatures have spirituality.
It was saved by me and has followed me ever since.”
Especially snakes, they are remarkably spiritual.
Aubree sometimes wondered if it had gained spirits.
Since she left without saying goodbye, it had been angry.
Aubree thought, she should let it return to nature, big cities are not suitable for it.
Unexpectedly, it eventually returned following its scent.
Anton stared at the Bamboo Green Snake, “It’s quite cute, may I touch it?”
Cute?
Kelly Martinez rolled her eyes.
This man is really fearless.
Aubree looked at the little snake in her palm, the little snake seemed to understand and quickly hid in Aubree’s sleeve, only leaving its tail behind for Anton.
Aubree chuckled shaking her head: “It’s feeling shy.”
Kelly pulled a face.
Aubree asked Anton to sit down again and began to treat his wounds.
“This medicine is very effective, the wound is no longer hurting.” Anton marveled at the miraculous effect, Aubree’s medicine is indeed excellent.
Anton, with a thick face said, “Could you give me some?”
“Hiss.” The little snake poked its head out from Aubree’s sleeve, baring its fangs menacingly.
Despite initial fear, Anton was now able to respond at ease.
“This Snake Oil Ointment has little green’s contribution.”
Aubree gently stroked little green’s head and softly said, “He is my friend, it’s not okay to have a temper tantrum.”
Little Green then softened down, its tail wrapping around Aubree’s pinky, as if fondling her.
Aubree shook her head and smiled, “Alright, Little Green agreed.”
Anton laughed, “So, snakes really do have a spiritual nature.”
“As long as you treat it with sincerity, it will do the same to you as well.
This applies to everything.”
Kelly scratched his ears: “Seems like you’ve never heard of the story about the farmer and the snake.”
Little Green bared its teeth at Kelly.
“Young one, tough guy act don’t bother me, I don’t fear threats.” Kelly shook his fists.
“Damn it, I’m not like you, Little Green could you not call yourself that.”
“Alright, let’s go.” Aubree left the hut to boil water in the kitchen.
There was a well in the gap between the kitchen and the monastery gate, which was their source of drinking water.
Aubree swiftly drew a bucket of water and poured it into a large pot in the kitchen, starting a fire to heat it.
Peter Aria, hearing the noise, came out and saw Aubree, soaked to the bone, and breathed a sigh of relief, “I’m glad you’re fine.”
Aubree spoke apologetically, “The mountain roads are slippery and it’s continuously raining.
It seems we won’t be able to descend the mountain today, Dr.
Aria, I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with staying here overnight.”
“I like it here very much.
It’s my honor to stay here.”
Peter Aria walked over and took the bucket from her, “Let me help you draw the water.”
However, he caused a joke of himself, unfamiliar with the traditional method of drawing water, he kept overturning the bucket, failing to draw any water at all.
Peter Aria was somewhat embarrassed.
It seems that the secluded life is not as blissful as imagined.
“Dr.
Aria, allow me.” Aubree took the bucket and effortlessly drew a bucket of water.
As Aubree was starting the fire, Peter Aria was squatting by her side, “Aubree, what do you usually eat when living here in the nunnery?”
“We have vegetables planted on the hill behind us, or we pick wild vegetables from the mountain.
Sometimes, villagers from the mountain foot would bring us fresh fruits, vegetables, and grain.”
The flickering flames illuminating the girl’s pure white face.
Her eyes reflect no complaint about a deprived life but rather serenity, gentleness, and composure.
