I Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Real Rich Daughter’s Pampered Cousin

262 Sea Serpent

Mama Le could only comfort him.

“This is a good start. It’s already not bad to be able to catch a hairtail.”

Papa Le could only comfort himself that the next pole would be better. Seeing that the fishing line was almost done, he directly raised the fishing rod. The fishing line caused a spray of water, and a silver-white light flashed in the air.

Papa Le was about to pull back his rod and throw the fish onto the deck when the captain, who was also watching the show, suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed,

“This is a sea snake!”

Sea serpents were known for being extremely poisonous. It would be dangerous if one was bitten by them!

Papa Le’s hand trembled when he heard that. The fishing line swayed in the air, and the silver-white long object hooked by the hook tilted and smashed into the bow of the boat.

When Le Wan was young, someone had once made fun of her. The other party had put a little finger-sized vegetable snake in a box and placed it on her desk.

The snake slithered out from the gap in the box and coiled itself in the gap of her book. Without knowing what was going on, Le Wan accidentally caught it when he reached into the box to take out the book. Then, the snake bit her finger.

Fortunately, the snake wasn’t poisonous. However, Le Wan was still frightened and started crying.

As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Although Le Wan’s condition wasn’t as serious, that incident had still left a shadow in her heart. Usually, even if she saw pictures of snakes or figures of snakes on TV, she would deliberately cover them up.

Hence, when she heard that it was not a hairtail but a sea snake, her face turned pale and she immediately turned back to hold Zhai Jing’s arms. If one looked closely, one could see that her body was trembling.

Seeing that she was so afraid, Zhai Jing immediately held her and moved away from the bow of the boat.

“Don’t be afraid. Uncle’s snake didn’t get on the boat, so it won’t come over here.”

On the other side, Mother Le, who knew that her daughter was afraid of snakes, also looked at Le Wan immediately. When she saw this scene, her mouth was agape and she was stunned for a moment, a sense of disappointment welling up in her heart.

Her daughter had grown up. When she encountered a problem, her first reaction was not to look for her mother but to look for a boyfriend.

When children grew up, they would always leave their parents’ embrace, just like the eldest and second sons who had long been independent. However, Le Wan was different. As the only daughter in the family, she had been carefully cared for by her and her father.

Hence, when she saw her in Zhai Jing’s arms seeking a sense of security, Mama Le still felt very disappointed.

However, she also knew that Le Wan was already eighteen years old, and this was something that couldn’t be avoided. So, she felt sad for a moment and turned her head away.

The sea snake was dangerous, but fortunately, Papa Le stopped in time and didn’t throw it onto the deck. Otherwise, if it was allowed to break free on the deck, it would definitely attack people.

The sea snake was still on the hook. Whether to catch it or let it go, would require someone to get it down.

Papa Le shifted his gaze to Second Brother Le, who kept shaking his head.

“Although I’m a man of Steel, I’m also afraid of that thing.”

Papa Le wanted to say that he couldn’t deal with this thing either.

Fortunately, there was a Captain with rich experience in fishing on the ship. He asked Papa le,

“Do you want this sea snake?”

Papa Le shook his head.

“I don’t want it.”

“If you don’t want it, then give it to me,” the captain said.

He estimated that the sea snake was about four to five catties heavy. There were people on the shore who specially bought this thing, and it would be worth some money if it was sold.

No one knew how the captain did it, but he took a snakeskin bag to the bow of the ship, hooked it, untied it, and stuffed it in. The sea snake didn’t have time to struggle and resist before it was put into the bag.

The captain had also noticed that Le Wan was very afraid of snakes, so he considerately went around her and took the bag containing the snake to the bottom of the cabin, then locked it in a cage.

“Look, the captain has caught it. It’s fine now. Zhai Jing patted Le Wan’s back.”

Seeing that the crisis had been averted, Le Wan got out of Zhai Jing’s arms, feeling a little embarrassed.

“I’m sorry.”

Zhai Jing shook his head and consoled her.

“It’s a poisonous snake after all. It’s normal to be afraid. I was also shocked just now.”

Second Brother Le pursed his lips. When he heard the words “sea snake”, he immediately turned around and wanted to protect her. In the end, he didn’t expect that this girl would jump into Zhai Jing’s arms.

Like Mama Le, Second Brother Le’s feelings were complicated. Initially, he didn’t have much opinion of Zhai Jing. However, when he saw Zhai Jing now, he more or less felt a little hatred for him.

“I thought you weren’t afraid when I saw how calm you were just now,” he said on purpose.
