Chapter 37 The Snake Fairy Statue
It's just that this job is much more difficult than I imagined. After half an hour of collecting, I just put a small layer on the bottom of the bamboo tube.

My whole body has been soaked, but I don't care so much, I have to collect as much dew as possible before the sun rises.

The sun is rising in the morning, and as the temperature rises, the spiritual energy floating in the morning becomes thinner, and the dewdrops also begin to evaporate slowly.

By the time the sun came out of the mountain, the flowers and grass had dried up, and I was so tired that I was sweating profusely. I couldn't even lift my back because I kept bending over.

But it took two or three hours, and there was only a small bowl in the bamboo tube in my hand, and the flowers and plants beside the stream in front were still very wet.

But those are the water mist stirred up by the stream. Although ordinary mountain spring water also contains very little aura, it can be ignored.

"Hey!"

I sighed.

The dew on the tip of the leaf has almost evaporated, I blame myself for being too clumsy to collect such a little in one morning, but I have no choice but to rush back.

Back in the room, the person lying on the bed was like a moon, quiet and hazy.

Looking at the sleeping face in front of him, he didn't look like he was about to wake up, and his vitality had collapsed, causing the snake scales on his body to become more and more obvious.

I took a small spoon, sat on the head of the bed, scooped it out carefully from the bamboo tube, and gently parted his thin lips.

It may be that my hands are too clumsy, and the nectar slipped from his mouth.

I tried to feed the dew a few more times, but he spit it out one after another.

There was not much nectar, and a lot was wasted.

"What a troublemaker... Forget it, just treat it as my sacrifice once, and it will be regarded as repaying your life and repaying your kindness for saving me."

I struggled in my heart for a long time, but I still drank the sweet and fragrant flower dew, closed my eyes tightly, and quickly stuck it to his lips.

The dewdrops are sweet, but his thin lips are colder and softer. Together, they make my cheeks hot all over.

I opened my mouth slightly, the sweet morning dew slipped down my lips as I fell asleep, and entered his mouth. I saw his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and knew it had entered his throat.

I went round and round and sipped several times into the cool mouth of his thin lips.

Not knowing if it really worked, he had some reactions and frowned in pain.

Moreover, the snake scales covering his body also began to slowly disappear, returning to the normal skin color of a living person.

I was overjoyed and repeated several times until I put the last drop of nectar into his mouth.

There was no last drop of nectar at the entrance, but he still lay quietly on the bed. Although the snake scales on his body gradually faded, there was still no sign of waking up.

"Chu Yuan...big-tailed snake...you should wake up soon!"

I waited for a long time, and could only call in a low voice.

It's been a long time.

For a long time, every detail has been repeated one by one.

I had a sour smell all over my body. After waiting for a long time and seeing no movement from Chu Yuan, I could only sigh and pick up the change of clothes in disappointment.

After taking a shower, I just washed the clothes and went out to dry, when I saw my aunt happily walking in the door with a delicate sandalwood box.

Before I could speak, my aunt saw me and came over with a smile and said, "Look, Mrs. Liu has given you a lot of good things."

While praising Mrs. Liu for her good heart, my aunt opened the exquisite box. I saw a lot of expensive jewelry necklaces and a stack of thick envelopes, which contained red tickets.

I glanced at it, and frowned in displeasure: "Auntie, why do you just want things from other people's homes?"

After a pause, the aunt said: "Old Madam Liu said that your grandfather helped Liu Xiaolong a lot in the past, and it is thanks to your grandfather's help that they are today. Now that the Liu family is powerful, it is right to help."

"Madam Liu is kind-hearted!"

Human nature loves money, and my aunt who grew up in a poor environment naturally does the same. She is happy from ear to ear, thinking that there is nothing she can't take from this money.

"Your grandma is dead now, so you will still have more places to use your money in the future? Besides, your grandpa helped the Liu family a lot in the past, and now that he is so rich, what can you do with her?"

My aunt didn't take it seriously, and continued to say to me: "I put these in your grandma's room, you keep them, and spend them when you need them later."

I took it all back, and I can't say anything.

Taking the clothes out of the bucket to dry, my aunt came over again, and said next to me: "Yaoyao, you have seen Liu Qingyin too, the young man is very handsome, and he is also quite cultivated, I think Bar!"

"Auntie!" I naturally knew what my aunt wanted to say, so I quickly interrupted her: "Don't tell me about the Liu family, I don't want to hear it now."

"You girl, why are you so clueless?"

My aunt shook her head and sighed, knowing it was useless to say anything, so she changed the subject and said to me: "The Liu family went to the Snake Temple. It was a very lively place.”

People in the village seem to like to get together in crowded places. There is a lot of talk about repairing ruined temples in the back mountain. Every day, many people in the village go to watch the fun when they are free.

I vaguely remember being very lively when I was a child. A juggler came to the village that year. I hurried over to watch it alone. I fell on the road and broke my crotch.

But I didn't know how to be ashamed at that time, I just wanted to join in the fun. In the past, the juggler made the doll disappear in front of me, saying that the doll crawled into the body along the crotch.

At that time, I was so frightened that my face was livid, I didn't sleep at night, and I kept telling my aunt that the doll had entered my body.

Up to now, I don't like to watch the excitement anymore.

My aunt said that the ruined temple in Houshan was the only one. I heard people said that it seemed to be destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, I couldn’t eat enough, so no one repaired it.

In the past few days, the Liu family has distributed money in the village several times, winning people's hearts, calling it charity money, but who knows what the intention is.

Chu Yuan still hasn't woken up, I can only think in my heart, I will collect some dewdrops tomorrow.

My aunt took me to the Houshan Temple. I didn't want to go, but if I think about it carefully, I might be able to detect something different if I go there.

After going there, after the ruined courtyard was repaired, there was a different scene. The weeds were cleaned up, the collapsed courtyard walls were piled up again, and new osmanthus trees were replaced on both sides.

"Give way!"

There was a scolding sound from inside, and my aunt and I walked out of the yard.

When I got outside the temple gate, I saw that there was a snake fairy statue in the temple, but it collapsed for some reason, crushing several villagers.

"What are you still standing at the gate, come in and help." The village head shouted, calling for the villagers to come up and help.

But the scene was messy, and it didn't matter who was who.

Several helpers from the village were crushed under the Buddha statue, begging everyone to save them in pain.

But the Liu family was unmoved, and several villagers even blocked the villagers who came forward to help.
