Bad Luck

After training in her space, Cao Shudong ran to her vegetable plot again, harvested the mature crops, and replanted them.

After checking the situation in the field, she went to catch a chicken to make coconut chicken hot pot.

Yes, coconut chicken hot pot. She could grow coconuts in her space, and they happened to be ripe. The chicken was also plump, so eating them together was perfect.

Scooping a bowl of soup, the moment it entered her mouth, she felt a wave of freshness rush straight to the top of her head. She picked up a piece of chicken, and with a gentle bite, the meat slid off the bone and into her stomach...

Cao Shudong savored the delicious flavor between her lips and teeth, filling her stomach bite by bite. It was absolutely delightful!

For a foodie like her, there was nothing a good meal couldn't solve. If there was, then she definitely hadn't eaten enough, and she had to eat a few more good meals.

That entire day, Cao Shudong stayed cooped up at home, watching the kittens, binge-watching dramas, making delicious food, and browsing the internet while waiting.

Just like that, Cao Shudong enjoyed a few days of comfortable life.

Auy few days later, Cao Shudong started cutting grass again.

Since she hadn't cut grass for the past few days, the grass was now as tall as a person. If she didn't cut it, a person stepping inside would probably disappear from sight.

Moreover, because the entire population was cutting grass to earn points, it was rumored that pork prices were about to drop, and the town would expand its livestock farming, meaning everyone could have a taste of meat.

Cutting more grass could be considered her contribution to others, and if it could bring down the price of meat, that wasn't bad either!

Because of the meat prices, Cao Shudong didn't dare to cook meat at home. Some time ago, when she stewed meat at home, someone in the group chat asked if some household was eating meat.

But looking at the house number of the speaker, it was very far from her house, so there was no way they were talking about her.

Still, she couldn't help but feel guilty, and the timing was just too perfect—the message was sent right after she finished cooking the meat. Therefore, she was still a bit startled, and after that, she basically cooked inside her space.

After all, at a time when everyone couldn't afford meat, deliberately showing off to others was just asking for a beating, wasn't it?

She prepared to go out as usual, starting to cut from her doorstep.

She cut diligently, getting more and more excited.

Behind her, piles of dried grass were stacked layer upon layer, looking extremely spectacular. Under the joint effort of humans and machines, the pile of dried grass grew larger, and she also grew more tired.

Labor is glorious! Looking at the drone leaving above, then looking down at the points popping up on her phone, it felt so satisfying!

Just as Cao Shudong was about to turn and leave, a dark shadow flashed in the corner of her eye. It seemed like there was something there!

Out of curiosity, Cao Shudong stopped and turned back to see what it was.

To be safe, she took out a long saber from her space. This blade was extremely sharp, and buying it had cost her a lot of effort back then!

Of course, money was definitely not lacking; once the money was in place, the blade was delivered!

At this kind of critical moment, taking out the blade was the optimal solution.

Of course, she didn't dare to take out hot weapons like guns unless it was a moment of extreme danger; otherwise, it would be hard to explain!

Hot weapons were useful, but dealing with the aftermath was a huge hassle.

Cao Shudong parted the grass in front of her with her long saber. Just as she pushed open a small gap, she saw a large black snake standing in front of her, flicking its tongue at her and making a "hissing" sound.

Ah~ ah~ ah~

There's a snake!

She screamed instantly!

Without even thinking, she wanted to turn and flee, but suddenly a flash of inspiration hit her. She couldn't run very far right now!

Oh well! There was no other way now!

Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best! Run! Run! Run!

She had to run faster!

But what if this snake kept chasing her and wouldn't let go!

She was truly too unlucky. A few days ago, she had heard Aunt Cao mention this matter. Why hadn't she listened?

Would hearing about it cause it to come to her doorstep?

Who did she provoke? She didn't provoke it at all!

She hadn't killed its young son or eldest grandson like in novels, nor had she stolen its eggs. Why was it targeting her?

Cao Shudong ran frantically in front. Rain fell to the ground, and her fast-moving feet stepped on the mud, splashing up muddy water.

Looking at the large black snake moving back and forth in an S-shape behind her, Cao Shudong could only speed up her steps, waiting for the military to arrive. At least they had guns!

When she turned to run, she had pressed the emergency alarm system!

For someone like her who already had a record of reporting emergencies once, the response would be extremely fast. After all, she was considered someone with a high frequency of incidents, so she naturally received special treatment!

But she felt like a long time had passed. Why hadn't anyone arrived yet?

Currently, she felt like her legs could barely move from running. Why wasn't there a single soul in sight?

It couldn't be because she was moving, right?

But wasn't this real-time positioning?

Cao Shudong swung her arm back, and the sound of the blade echoed.

So that's how it was!

While running earlier, Cao Shudong had swung her blade back to slash at the snake, but it had no effect. Slashing the snake's body was like slashing steel, even producing sparks from the impact!

The defensive capability of this snake was truly formidable! Its skin was harder than iron! That this blade, which cut iron like clay, didn't break was considered good luck. At least at the current stage, she could still cope with this black snake!

But if she truly had good luck, she wouldn't have encountered the black snake and been hunted down!

Could this be considered being hunted down?

In the future, she must not be curious about anything!

If she hadn't been curious to see what it was, she wouldn't have parted the grass, and she wouldn't have come face-to-face with the black snake!!!

She was truly verifying that saying with her life: "Curiosity killed the cat!"

Just as she was about to give up, people finally arrived!

The newcomers fired directly behind Cao Shudong.

Due to the impact of the bullets, the black snake's speed slowed down. Those soldiers held their guns and slowly bypassed Cao Shudong, closing in on the black snake!

Under the bullets, the black snake's smooth surface gradually became mangled, leaking an unknown liquid, and its speed also slowed down.

Following the instructions of the newcomers, Cao Shudong stood behind them and watched quietly.

She felt the black snake was still extremely smart. Seeing that it was no match, it prepared to retreat!

But it couldn't escape! It was already surrounded; how could it escape?

Looking at the black snake's end, Cao Shudong happily hummed a little tune in her heart.

She thought to herself, *Serves it right for chasing me. Now look at you! Now you can't move, can you? Weren't you running in an S-shape just now? Run! Run! Why aren't you running anymore?*

In the end, the black snake's fate was naturally death. With so many of them, how could they not kill a single snake!

Of course, if it weren't just one...

She shook her head. She mustn't think about it! She mustn't think about it! She was afraid her thoughts would become reality!

Yes, there was only this one snake! She would absolutely never see another one!
