The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1107 - Chapter 1107 1107

Chapter 1107: 1107 Chapter 1107: 1107 A poisonous snake coiled around the overhanging branch of a large tree right in front of Su Qingyue, continuously flicking its forked tongue.

Its greenish body, its sharp head.

A bamboo viper, a poisonous snake.

As Su Qingyue walked past the tree, something soft and green suddenly fell from above, right on top of her.

Damn!

Another bamboo viper fell from the tree, landing directly on her.

Generally speaking, it’s impossible for snakes clinging to trees to fall off.

Moreover, it was winter; shouldn’t all snakes be hibernating?

She must be incredibly unlucky to encounter a non-hibernating snake that also managed to fall right on her!

As soon as the snake landed on Su Qingyue, it immediately became alert, coiling around her arm and opening its mouth to bite her as fast as lightning.

Su Qingyue moved even faster, with a flash of silver, she chopped off the snake’s head with the dagger in her hand before it could bite her.

The snake’s body, which had been tightly coiled around her arm, also slowly relaxed, falling to the ground on its own.

Even decapitated, a snake won’t die instantly, continuing to wriggle and struggle on the ground.

Su Qingyue did not leave immediately.

Instead, she carefully observed the poisonous snake and looked at the terrain around her, and soon figured it out.

This deep forest was surrounded by mountains on all sides and was much warmer than other places, even in winter.

And with the sun shining high today, the temperature was still quite warm, so it wasn’t unusual for some snakes not to hibernate.

The more poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts a place has, the more likely rare herbs will grow there.

In a short time, she had gathered half a basket of herbs.

The grove was uphill, and as she walked, she found herself halfway up the steep mountains.

On the ground covered with rotting leaves, Su Qingyue suddenly noticed several paw prints that resembled those of an oversized cat.

Upon closer inspection, she furrowed her brows.

Those were tiger paw prints!

Given the depth of the prints, it was an adult tiger.

She had also encountered some wild animals along the way.

Many animals are afraid of humans and typically avoid them.

Encountering a large ferocious beast, even with her skills, can be quite troublesome.

She had no intention of hunting tigers.

After checking the direction of the tiger’s paw prints, she looked at the terrain and walked in the opposite direction.

Up ahead was Black Mountain Cliff.

The villagers said it rose a hundred zhang high and had a bare cliff top.

She had never been there before.

No one from the village ever went, not even her second brother, who hunted every year.

Legend has it that Black Mountain Cliff was always infested with poisonous snakes.

Hunters from the village who had gone there were bitten to death by snakes, leaving it untouched by villagers since then.

Places no one had been to might have harvestable herbs.

Walking toward the cliff top, she could faintly see human footprints on the rugged road.

Su Qingyue crouched down to examine the size of the footprints and their depth in the ground.

A flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

These seemed to be her third brother’s footprints.

Could he have come here?

With this thought, she followed the footprints quickly towards the cliff top.

Before reaching the cliff top, a loud voice spread in all directions, “Wife…wife…wife…wife…wife…wife!”

That was her third brother’s voice, calling for his wife.

Because it was at the cliff top, there was a heavy echo.

I’m dizzy, it really is him!

Su Qingyue didn’t quite know what to feel.

Mostly, she was touched.

Her third brother must have been worried about her, which is why he came looking.

But how did he know she’d be here?

“Wife…wife…wife…wife…wife…wife!” The continuous calls seemed to hope that if she were nearby, she would hear him and come to him.

Su Qingyue reached the cliff top and saw a tall figure standing at the edge of the cliff.

His clothes fluttered with the cold wind, his posture straight and tall, as if containing great, tenacious strength.

His whole being exuded an overwhelming presence.
