Ye Che still wanted to vent his anger, but a choking sound from Xia Weiyi in the room startled him. Without saying another word, he turned and ran back to the bedroom.
"Yiyi, be good. Don't be afraid. I've already killed the snake. It's okay now, it's okay," Ye Che held Xia Weiyi in his arms, kissing her forehead repeatedly. Even his lips were trembling and cold.
Although he said it was nothing to fear, his back was still drenched in cold sweat. That snake was so venomous—if anyone were bitten, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Held tightly by Ye Che, Xia Weiyi listened to his constant soothing and patting. The fear in her heart gradually dissipated. After eating a little porridge, she lay down to rest.
Ye Che stayed by her side, holding her hand, and only after the young girl fell soundly asleep, did he quietly leave the bedroom.
"Huoda, take some people and investigate. Go house by house and find out where those two snakes came from."
