Stranded on a Deserted Island and Entangled by a Green Snake 7

007 Bashful

A giant python shot out from the woods, its slithering speed as fast as lightning, closing in in the blink of an eye.

An ordinary person, upon seeing this scene, would surely turn and run in terror.

When Yu Chujin first encountered the giant python, that was indeed her reaction, but now…

Not only was she not afraid, she even jogged up to meet it, and loudly scolded it.

“Where did you go? Can you please not always leave without a word? Even if you’re leaving, you should at least say goodbye to me.” As she scolded, a great deal of grievance welled up, “Do you know how anxious I was waiting for you? I thought you weren’t coming back…”

However, the large snake couldn’t understand a single word. It held a string of branches in its mouth, tilted its head, and looked at the tiny two-legged creature jumping and complaining below.

Yu Chujin stopped her chattering complaints and noticed what it was holding in its mouth.

The large snake spat the branches it was holding at Yu Chujin’s feet. A dozen or so fruits were hanging from the branches.

Yu Chujin was overjoyed and quickly bent down to pick the fruits from the branches. They were not hard to identify: wild nectarines, small in size, white with a greenish tinge, not yet fully ripe.

Although they weren’t fully ripe, at least she could finally improve her diet. She no longer had to eat coconuts; she had other food to eat.

She picked a nectarine, blew the dust off its surface, and was about to take a bite to taste it.

Just as she moved, she met the large snake’s intense gaze.

Yu Chujin paused and offered it to the snake, “You first?”

Yu Chujin was just being polite, but unexpectedly, the large snake opened its large mouth and came over, taking the nectarine she offered in one bite.

To be precise, half of Yu Chujin’s arm was in the large snake’s mouth.

She hastily pulled her hand back, her face filled with panic, “What are you doing? Are you biting me!”

The large snake looked at her with pure innocence.

Yu Chujin: “…”

Yu Chujin looked down to check her arm. Besides being covered in some sticky saliva, it didn’t seem to be injured.

“So dirty, it’s all your saliva,” she said with disgust, pulling off some leaves to wipe the saliva from her arm. “Can’t you be a little gentler when you eat? Anyone who knows would know you’re eating a nectarine. Anyone who doesn’t would think you’re trying to eat my arm along with it.”

The large snake still blinked its large, innocent eyes and flicked its forked tongue, hissing twice.

Yu Chujin suddenly looked up, “Your saliva isn’t poisonous, is it? You’re not a venomous snake, are you?”

No, I have to go to the seaside to wash it off quickly.

Giant pythons are generally not venomous, but what if? Yu Chujin was very afraid of dying. Although she had just been so depressed she wanted to die, once that feeling passed, she cherished her life more than anyone.

She ran to the seaside to wash her hands, and while she was at it, she dragged the branch of nectarines to the seaside to wash them as well.

First, she picked all the nectarines off the branch and washed them one by one. As she was washing, a scorching gaze focused on her side.

The large snake was staring at her with longing eyes.

“You want to eat more?” Yu Chujin asked.

“Hiss hiss.” The large snake stared at the nectarines.

“What? Didn’t you pick these? Didn’t you eat your fill before you picked them?”

Yu Chujin took a washed nectarine. This time, she didn’t dare to feed it by hand. Instead, she placed it on the sand nearby for it to eat on its own.

The moment the nectarine was put down, the large snake opened its mouth and bit down on it.

The nectarine was gone, and there was a pit in the sand where it had been.

Yu Chujin stared at the pit in the sand for two seconds. It probably ate a pound of sand along with that one nectarine.

Sure enough, the next second, the large snake started shaking its head, clearly uncomfortable from eating the sand.

With a few shakes of its head, the sand flew out of its mouth and landed right on Yu Chujin’s head.

Yu Chujin’s mouth twitched.

The large snake was stunned for a moment when it saw Yu Chujin covered in sand, then it grinned, looking gloating.

Meeting Yu Chujin’s unfriendly gaze, the large snake belatedly began to feel guilty.

In just a few seconds, the snake’s expressions were incredibly rich.

Yu Chujin even suspected that this creature wasn’t a snake. How could it have such rich emotional changes? It was more human-like than her Da Huang.

“Go, go, go play somewhere else. You got sand all over me. You’re not getting any more nectarines; the rest are mine,” Yu Chujin said coldly, shooing it away.

The large snake didn’t insist. Its massive body slithered away. Who knows if it was intentional, but its large tail swung back and forth, kicking up more sand that landed on Yu Chujin’s head.

“Are you doing this on purpose!” Yu Chujin shouted.

Hearing the noise, the large snake didn’t turn back. Instead, it slithered away faster, disappearing several meters away in the blink of an eye.

Yu Chujin shook her head with a smile. This snake even knew how to tease people.

She patted the sand off herself. The nectarines were also covered in sand, so Yu Chujin had to wash them again.

After washing them, Yu Chujin held the dozens of nectarines wrapped in leaves, ran to the side of her shelter, sat down happily, and began to eat happily.

She took a bite of a nectarine with great anticipation, and then, the smile on her face froze instantly.

“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.”

So sour!

Yu Chujin hated sour fruits the most, especially something as sour as a lemon.

She looked at the remaining nectarines. This shouldn’t be. Even unripe nectarines shouldn’t be this sour if they’re not sweet. Could it be that they’re not nectarines?

Uncertain, she picked up another one and took a bite. Unsurprisingly, it was still sour enough to set her teeth on edge.

She put the fruits aside, unwilling to eat them anymore. She would rather continue eating coconuts than this.

The large snake looked at the fruits that had been put aside and tilted its head left and right in confusion, as if to say, Don’t you like the fruits?

The large snake’s tail quietly came over, coiled around the discarded fruits on the ground, and pawed at them with its tail in confusion, just like it had done with the rabbit before.

As it pawed at the fruits, it would occasionally glance at Yu Chujin.

Yu Chujin rubbed her empty stomach and resignedly began to eat a coconut again. If she kept eating coconuts, Yu Chujin felt like she would turn into one.

As she was eating the coconut, the snake’s tail quietly came over again at some point, coiled around a fruit, and placed it next to Yu Chujin.

The meaning was clear: Eat it. It’s delicious, more delicious than coconuts.

Yu Chujin shook her head, indicating that she wouldn’t eat it.

The large snake was unwilling to give up. It coiled its tail around the fruit and continued to offer it to Yu Chujin.

Yu Chujin’s attention wasn’t on the fruit, but on this large tail. It could easily pick up and put down such a small fruit with its large tail. Its flexibility was comparable to a human hand.

Out of curiosity, Yu Chujin reached out and gently poked the snake’s tail in front of her.

The large snake’s tail paused for a moment, then, as if electrocuted, it shot back with a whoosh.

Not only did it retract, but it also coiled its tail into a ball and hid it, its large eyes staring at her like copper bells.

Yu Chujin felt her hair stand on end from its stare. She scratched her head and muttered, “Why such a big reaction? Anyone who didn’t know would think I was molesting you.”

Hearing this, the large snake hid its tail even more tightly.

Yu Chujin rubbed her nose, “Alright, alright. Look at how petty you are. At worst, I won’t touch your tail anymore.”

As she spoke, the large snake suddenly reared up and circled around Yu Chujin.

Yu Chujin swallowed nervously. Could it be that touching its tail would make it fly into a rage and eat me?

Anxiously, Yu Chujin quietly picked up a rock.

The action of picking up the rock happened to be seen by the large snake. One person and one snake, their four eyes met. It was quite awkward.

The large snake hissed twice, as if trying to express something.

Yu Chujin silently tightened her grip on the rock.

The large snake’s tail coiled, and a pile of sand was poured on Yu Chujin’s head. After pouring, it ran away.

Yu Chujin: “…”

Fortunately, it was just venting by pouring sand. As long as it doesn’t eat me, it’s fine. Yu Chujin silently breathed a sigh of relief.

From this, it could be analyzed that the large snake’s tail was not to be touched, perhaps similar to how dogs dislike humans touching their tails.

When she first adopted Da Huang, Da Huang also didn’t allow people to touch its tail. It would bare its teeth and be very fierce.

But what kind of person was Yu Chujin? She was naturally rebellious and mischievous. The more she was told not to touch it, the more she wanted to. She would often make a surprise attack and touch Da Huang’s tail. In the end, Da Huang had given up and would just lie there and let her do as she pleased.

Thinking of this, Yu Chujin couldn’t help but worry. She had been trapped on this deserted island for three days. She wondered how her silly dog was doing. But Da Huang was being looked after by a neighbor, so it wouldn’t starve to death.

She glanced to the side. The large snake was eating its sour nectarines and secretly observing the two-legged creature.

When it saw the two-legged creature look over, it quickly averted its gaze.

Then it became a cycle of it glancing at Yu Chujin and then retracting its gaze, glancing at Yu Chujin and then retracting its gaze again.

Yu Chujin was full of question marks. What is this snake doing?

Seeing the human staring at it, it coiled its tail and hid it, its coyness particularly obvious.

Yu Chujin was bewildered for three seconds. Why is this stupid snake looking so bashful???
