After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 186 Bitten by a Bamboo Viper
The two met in silence. At this moment, Pei Yuan slowly walked up to Su Xiaoxiao and gently lifted a strand of hair that had fallen by Su Xiaoxiao's ear.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao with deep affection, and slowly stroked one of her cheeks with one hand.

His other hand was supporting Su Xiaoxiao's arm, seemingly trying to hold her in place, even though Su Xiaoxiao was already standing still without his support.

Pei Yuan's handsome face slowly approached, gradually enlarging in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao's heart was pounding, and she stared wide-eyed, trying to see what Pei Yuan was up to.

Pei Yuan seemed nervous too. He hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind and gently kissing Su Xiaoxiao's right cheek.

The warm lips of Pei Yuan, carrying his unique scent, brushed against Su Xiaoxiao's cheek.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and it took her a long time to react.

The kiss on the cheek came so suddenly that Pei Yuan's face turned as red as a cloth, and he looked away.

The little river beside us was sparkling with light, it was so romantic.

"I thought you were going to hit me!"

Half a day later, I saw Pei Yuan hiding far away, like a child who had made a mistake.

Why would I hit you? What were you doing just now?

"I couldn't help but kiss you, please don't mind."

Pei Yuan looked so innocent, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but want to tease him even more when she saw him like this.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry and ignored him.

Pei Yuan looked even more like he had done something wrong, obediently standing in front of Su Xiaoxiao and not daring to say another word. He seemed really easy to manipulate.

Su Xiaoxiao caught a few fish in the river, and then she and Pei Yuan took the fish and mushrooms and headed back together.

What she was more concerned about was how Qian Musheng's relationship with Liu Qiaomei was progressing.

When Su Xiaoxiao returned, she found that only the children were playing in the same spot. Sun Shi and Wang Er were also there, but Su Xiuer, Qian Musheng, and Liu Qiaomei were nowhere to be seen.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little worried. Could it be that Su Xiuer had gone with them too? If she went together, wouldn't she become a third wheel? How could Liu Qiaomei, with her shy personality, possibly develop a relationship with Qian Musheng?
"We're back!"

I wanted to know how things were going between Qian Musheng and Liu Qiaomei, but I didn't see them either, and Su Xiuer was also nowhere to be seen.

Su Xiaoxiao was most afraid that her cousin would cause trouble for them, so she was in a hurry to go and find them.

Just as I was about to head that way, I heard footsteps coming from afar.

Then everyone saw Qian Musheng carrying Su Xiuer as they ran back from a distance, with Liu Qiaomei, who looked very anxious, following beside them.

Su Xiuer's pants were pulled up on her calf, revealing a wound that looked like she had been bitten by something.

"Xiaoxiao, your cousin was bitten by a snake over there."

Su Xiuer's face was completely pale, and she looked delirious.

Sure enough, there was a red tooth mark on Su Xiuer's calf, clearly visible, which had turned a bit bluish-purple.

"What kind of snake bit me? It might be poisonous!"

“It looks like a bamboo viper. I just cleared the venom from the wound. But we'll be fine once we find the antivenom.” After putting Su Xiuer down, Qian Musheng said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Let’s go, we need to hurry over there to find that bamboo viper and extract its gallbladder to treat Miss Su.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed, and first tore a strip of cloth from Su Xiuer's body and used it to tie up the injured part of Su Xiuer's body, trying her best to control the poison and prevent it from spreading upwards.

The group helped Su Xiuer to sit down on a large rock, and Su Xiaoxiao followed Qian Musheng to the woods there.

"What exactly happened just now?"

Su Xiaoxiao was very puzzled. How come Su Xiuer was injured?
As Qian Musheng hurried toward the woods, he explained, "Miss Su said she was going to gather some dry wood from the woods over there to start a fire, so I went with her."

Liu Qiaomei was following behind us, but we didn't pay much attention to her while we were collecting wood until she cried for help.

It turned out that Liu Qiaomei was terrified by a small green snake and cried for help. Su Xiuer was very brave. She rushed over first and stood in front of Liu Qiaomei, saving her. However, she was unfortunately bitten in the process.

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that her cousin Su Xiuer would be so brave, actually standing in front of Liu Qiaomei at a critical moment and saving her life.

Qian Musheng seemed to feel somewhat guilty about the matter, and at the same time, he seemed to be looking at Su Xiuer in a different light because of it.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Liu Qiaomei, I think it's not that I can't help you this time. Qian Musheng seems to be much more interested in my cousin than in you now."

Qian Musheng went over and pulled up Su Xiuer's trouser leg, and also helped her treat her wound.

In fact, in ancient times, men and women were not supposed to have physical contact, so Qian Musheng's ability to do so was truly remarkable.

In ancient times, women's legs and feet could not be shown to others casually, especially strange men. Qian Musheng not only saw them, but also touched them and even kissed them.

Seeing Qian Musheng's anxious search for the bamboo viper, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that Liu Qiaomei was probably really out of luck this time.

The two entered the woods together, and Qian Musheng went to the grove where Su Xiuer had been bitten and began to search diligently.

Su Xiaoxiao is also trying her best to search, but she still needs to hurry, as the bamboo viper is quite poisonous.

Soon, Qian Musheng discovered the venomous snake that had bitten Su Xiuer earlier, and Su Xiaoxiao drew her bow and shot the bamboo viper dead in one shot.

Soon after the snake gall was removed, Su Xiaoxiao and the others brought it back and gave it to Su Xiuer to eat. This finally brought the venom under control.

Su Xiuer's calves were still a little swollen, but the purplish-red color was starting to fade, proving that the toxins in her body had been eliminated.

Su Xiuer woke up and found herself lying in Qian Musheng's arms. She blushed with embarrassment.

"Young Master Qian, you saved me!"

She looked shy and demure, and Qian Musheng replied, "Your cousin helped kill the snake; I didn't do anything."

Why are you running towards the woods for no reason?

Su Xiaoxiao scolded, and quickly moved Su Xiuer from Qian Musheng's arms to the side.

"How are you feeling?"

After drinking some water, Su Xiuer said that she was fine now and her mind had returned to normal. She was indeed a little worried that she might have been bitten to death by that poisonous snake.

It seems she's quite lucky now. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to end the picnic, so everyone took Su Xiuer back to recover from her injuries.

However, Su Xiuer said that she was perfectly fine and there was nothing seriously wrong with her.
