Stranded on a Deserted Island and Entangled by a Green Snake 42

Chapter 42: Demon Catcher

Listening to the large snake’s constant “whimpering,” Yu Chujin was both amused and helpless, “You don’t even know how to pretend properly. Your crying is so fake, you silly snake.”

The large snake stopped whimpering, immediately raised its head, and said excitedly, “I’m a silly snake.”

Yu Chujin was choked. Looking at its stupid appearance, she always felt that the days ahead would not be easy, and she would have to worry a lot.

Raising a dog was already troublesome enough. Now, there was a snake. In the future, it would probably be a lively scene of snakes flying and dogs jumping.

Yu Chujin was extremely worried about her future days.

“Alright, don’t coil here and get in the way. You’re not allowed to sneak out and scare people anymore.”

The large snake nodded, nodding vigorously.

Yu Chujin was speechless. It always nodded, but nodding didn’t stop it from causing trouble. A worrying snake.

Looking at it made her angry, and she tapped it a couple more times.

Before the large snake could pretend to whimper, she shooed it aside. The living room was a mess, and she still had to continue tidying up.

She had to put the overturned sofa back first.

She bent down to hold the bottom of the sofa and exerted her strength. The sofa moved a little and fell back. She gritted her teeth and exerted her strength again. This time, she couldn’t even lift the sofa.

Yu Chujin glanced at the large snake watching the show from the side.

“What are you doing? You have no sense at all. Can’t you see I can’t move it? Come and help. You’re even enjoying the show. You’re the one who overturned this sofa. Have you forgotten?”

The large snake trotted over to help. As it was moving the sofa, its snake face was bared, as if it were very difficult to move the sofa.

How could it be difficult for it to move the sofa? It was just copying her again and again…

Yu Chujin gritted her teeth. Forget it, forget it. She wouldn’t argue with this silly snake.

After putting the sofa back, Yu Chujin bent down to pick up the scattered clothes on the ground.

The large snake’s eyes widened, and it stared at the two pieces of clothing in Yu Chujin’s hand without blinking.

Its eyes were fixed, and its face was written with…

Yu Chujin: “You want them?”

The large snake nodded, nodding frantically.

Yu Chujin chuckled, “You’re a snake. Why are you so interested in clothes? You can’t even wear them.”

Remembering something, Yu Chujin’s gaze fell on the large snake. She scanned it up and down, “Where’s the jacket I gave you before?”

The large snake: “Hiss hiss.”

Yu Chujin raised an eyebrow, “You threw it away? It seems you didn’t treasure it that much. You still threw it away.”

The large snake shook its head.

“What does shaking your head mean?”

The large snake opened its mouth, not knowing how to express itself. It began to scratch the floor with its claws, looking at her as it scratched.

Yu Chujin understood, “You buried it? You hid it somewhere else?”

The large snake grinned and nodded.

After nodding twice, she heard a “cracking” sound under the large snake’s claws. The solid wood floor had been cracked.

It had been cracked by the large snake’s scratching.

Yu Chujin’s eye twitched. The snake’s ability to dismantle the house was too strong.

The large snake was quite sensible this time. It immediately shrank and shot under the sofa to hide.

Yu Chujin looked at the cracked floor, then at the small snake hiding under the sofa, and sighed softly.

“Come out. It’s not your fault. You didn’t do it on purpose. Just don’t scratch the floor next time.”

The large snake judged from her tone that she was not angry. It poked its small head out and observed her.

After completely confirming that she was not angry, it slithered over, climbed onto her, stopped at her shoulder, coiled into a ball, and even licked her face.

Yu Chujin ignored it and continued to tidy up the house, casually throwing the clothes she had picked up on the sofa.

Half an hour later, the clothes on the sofa were gone.

Without a doubt, they had been stolen by the snake.

“Where did you hide my clothes? I have to wash those two pieces of clothing. They’re dirty. Take them out quickly.”

The large snake blinked its eyes, indicating that it didn’t understand.

Whether it really didn’t understand or was just pretending was a matter of debate. After all, although the large snake was silly, it also had a bit of a clever streak.

After a few seconds of confrontation, Yu Chujin chose to give up.

Forget it. It was just two pieces of clothing. If it liked them, it could have them. What could she do? She couldn’t be so reluctant to give it two pieces of clothing.

The matter of the large snake always stealing her clothes was not a big deal. The big deal was its relationship with Da Huang.

They were exceptionally incompatible.

The moment the large snake saw Da Huang, it would assume an attacking posture, as if it wanted to swallow Da Huang whole in the next second.

At first, Yu Chujin had locked Da Huang in a room. Later, she had put Da Huang in the yard. She never dared to put Da Huang in the living room, in the same room as the large snake.

There was no need to question it. The large snake really wanted to bite Da Huang to death.

Yu Chujin had also discovered that when the large snake was with her, it was particularly gentle and did not fight or snatch. But when the large snake was with other animals, it was full of aggression.

The large snake would not allow other animals to exist by its side.

Especially when Yu Chujin was petting or hugging a dog, the large snake’s emotions would become extremely frantic.

The moment it saw Yu Chujin being close to Da Huang, its serpentine body would arch, its pupils would become vertical slits, and its fangs would be bared, as if it wanted to tear Da Huang to shreds in the next second.

Yu Chujin had tried to reason with it several times, but of course, it was impossible.

The large snake and Da Huang were like fire and water.

No, it was the large snake’s one-sided fire and water. Da Huang was not as repulsed by the snake as it was.

“You snake are really too domineering. It’s the original resident. It came to this house before you. Can’t you be a little more reasonable? There’s a first-come, first-served basis for everything. Don’t you think so?”

The large snake was not reasonable and replied concisely, “Eat it, bite it to death!”

Yu Chujin scratched her head, indicating that she had a big headache.

Getting the large snake and Da Huang to live in peace seemed to be a huge problem.

She could still watch it now and not let the large snake attack. But Yu Chujin couldn’t watch it all the time. If she was not careful for a moment, Da Huang’s dog life might be in danger.

At this moment, the small snake was coiled on the sofa, staring at the window. Even with the curtains drawn, the small snake could hear Da Huang’s movements outside the yard.

The moment it heard the dog’s sound, the small snake’s expression became fierce.

Yu Chujin: “…”

It was a waste of words. She had just reasoned with it so much, and it hadn’t listened to a single word. Not to mention living in peace, it would get angry even when the dog made a sound in the yard.

Yu Chujin did not scold the large snake for this matter. She could understand it. The large snake was originally a fierce beast with a strong sense of territory, so it naturally would not allow other animals to set foot in its territory.

That’s right. Yu Chujin’s house had already become its territory. It was very natural, without any politeness.

“Do you know why I keep Da Huang?” Yu Chujin poked the small snake coiled on the side with her finger.

The small snake’s attention was all on the dog in the yard, and it was always in a tense state. But Yu Chujin knew that the small snake was listening, because its pricked up small ears were facing her.

“Actually, I didn’t plan to keep a dog before. I can’t even take care of myself. I might be gone one day. How could I have the mind to keep a dog…”

Keeping Da Huang was purely a coincidence.

She still remembered that she was in a bad mood that day and was speeding on the road on her motorcycle. When she passed a country road, she stopped to rest for a while.

She leaned against the motorcycle seat, one hand on her helmet, the other holding a water bottle, and drank with her head tilted back.

It was at this moment that Da Huang appeared, along with a group of dogs.

Da Huang was particularly thin and small among the group of dogs.

The bones on its back were protruding. It had no flesh on its body, just skin and bones.

But there were too many thin and bony stray dogs on the roadside. Yu Chujin was not a good person, and her love was not so overflowing. It was impossible for her to adopt it just because of this.

And the real reason she adopted it was that Da Huang had taken the initiative to lean against Yu Chujin’s feet.

“What are you doing? Why are you leaning against my feet? So dirty. You don’t have fleas, do you?”

She was disgusted with it, but she didn’t kick it away.

This thin and brittle yellow dog seemed to be constantly bullied by other dogs.

It approached Yu Chujin with trepidation. It was not being familiar, nor was it asking for food, but it was… pretending to have an owner.

Da Huang leaned against her feet and barked weakly at the group of dogs, showing off to them, as if to say, I’m a dog with an owner too. I’m not a stray dog. Don’t bully me.

Yu Chujin looked down at the frightened but determined yellow dog at her feet and was silent for a long time.

She felt a sense of kinship and thought of her childhood self.

She was not born with a bad temper. It was just that she had never had her parents to protect her since she was a child. She was afraid of being bullied, so she would always show a fierce side.

Baring her fangs, covered in thorns, to let everyone know that she was not to be trifled with.

Just like Da Huang at this moment.

I have an owner. I’m not to be trifled with.

I’m very fierce. I’m not to be trifled with.

The yellow dog’s face was stubborn, wanting to be loved but having no one to love it. This made her have the idea of adopting it.

She asked it, “Do you want to really have an owner?”

A little dog that pretended to have an owner and pretended to be loved was so pitiful.

“A pitiful dog and a pitiful person forming a family seems to be pretty good too. Don’t you think so?” Yu Chujin looked at the small snake.

“So, don’t be so resistant to Da Huang. It’s my family. Of course, you’re also my family. Can’t we live in peace?”

The small snake looked at her, not making a sound, just looking at her like that.

Yu Chujin couldn’t be sure if it had understood, but after that, the large snake didn’t seem to be so against Da Huang anymore. At least it wouldn’t attack it, although it still seemed to dislike Da Huang.

The relationship between the large snake and Da Huang had eased. Yu Chujin was instantly relieved. But before she could be relieved for two days, another trouble came to her door.

After being scared by the large snake twice, the man with glasses had not dared to go back to the villa to live. But a week later, he came back with a master.

Yu Chujin was puzzled, “Inviting a master?”

The neighbor sister was trimming the flowers in her yard and chatting with Yu Chujin.

“Yes, he insists that there’s a snake demon in his house. So, he found a demon-catching master and came back, saying that he wants to perform a ritual to drive away evil spirits.”

The neighbor sister tapped her head with her finger, “He probably has a problem here.”

Yu Chujin’s brow furrowed, and her lips tightened into a straight line.

“That demon-catching master, has he already been invited?”

“Not yet. He said he’s coming today. I’m not too clear about the specifics.”

Yu Chujin’s furrowed brow furrowed even more, “Well, I have something to do. I’ll go home first.”

The neighbor sister: “Didn’t you say you wanted to try the tea I made?”

Yu Chujin waved her hand, “Next time, next time.”

The neighbor sister shook her head. This little sister was always so impulsive.

Yu Chujin returned home. The first thing she did was to pick up the small snake that was observing people at the door, find a bag, and stuff the small snake into it.

The small snake poked its head out, “Hiss hiss.”

The snake was unwilling to stay in the bag.

Yu Chujin clicked her tongue, “Be good and stay inside. It’s an emergency. I don’t have time to explain to you.”

She forcefully stuffed it into the bag, slung the bag over her shoulder, and walked outside.

A demon catcher. Although it sounded unreliable, what if he was a powerful demon catcher? She really had a monster in her house.

It was better to take the large snake and leave for a while to avoid it.

Yu Chujin: “Sister, Da Huang is in the yard. Can you help me look after it for a bit? I have something to do and have to go out. Sorry to trouble you.”

The neighbor sister nodded, “Alright, you can go.”

Yu Chujin held the bag tightly and walked out nervously.

Just as she reached the community entrance, a person wearing a yellow Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword collided with her.

From his attire, it was not difficult to tell that he was probably that demon catcher.

Yu Chujin’s footsteps paused, and her breath stopped.

No way. She wanted to avoid the demon catcher, but she had run into him head-on. Did she have to be so unlucky…

Yu Chujin bit her lip, pretended to be natural, and did not make eye contact with the demon catcher, brushing past him.

She tried her best to lighten her breathing and footsteps. One meter, two meters, three meters. The distance gradually increased.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the small snake in her bag began to push its way out.

“Be quiet!”

Yu Chujin quickly held the bag tightly and said in a low voice, word by word.

She quickened her pace and started to jog. But before she could run two steps, a shout came from behind.

“Wait a moment.”

Yu Chujin’s back stiffened.
