Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

The few of them went to a high ground that Shen Qianshu had picked. All of them laid down, and they were carrying a green plant blanket. That was very good camouflage for them. Maxi and Monica took the left and right side of Shen Qianshu respectively, and they observed around with binoculars.

Shen Qianshu held the gun and observed through the scope.

Everything was silent.

There was not a single sound at all.

The sun was really scorching. It was really steaming hot to be laying on the ground like that.

Shen Qianshu asked, “How did you guys know that someone was following us?”

“Sis, use your brains.” Monica pointed at her brain. “We came out so openly. Anyone who wants to claim your life would naturally tag along.”

Shen Qianshu said, “Damn, you guys did this on purpose. What ‘bringing me out for hunting?’ You guys are bringing me here to be bait.”

“No, we are here to hunt.”

Maxi said, “You are the hunter. They are the prey.”

Monica said, “Prey or predator, it’s all in your mind.”

Shen Qianshu said, “We had fostered a friendship over the few days of training at the very least. How could you guys switch teams so quickly? You guys treat friendships too shallowly.”

Maxi could not help laughing.

The forest was still very silent.

Shen Qianshu did not see any sign of action through her scope at all.

In these few days, Monica and Maxi had taught her how to snipe.

She could not find the target.

This was a high ground somewhere around the middle of the hill. The few of them laid down without moving a single inch. They only moved slightly when they breathed.

One hour later.

Shen Qianshu felt like her limbs had gone numb. Beads of sweat dripped off from her forehead. In the entire hill, there was only the sound of animals and the whistling sounds of the wind. Shen Qianshu swallowed her saliva and opened a bottle of water. She took a gulp.

“Magical girl, I need to use the washroom.”

The magical girl Monica said, “A good sniper needs to maintain at least 8 hours of silent observation.”

“Damn. If I were this patient, I would have studied in Harvard back then.”

“… ” Monica stared at Shen Qianshu.

“I need to pee urgently.”

“Hold it in.”

Maxi said, “You can do it here and now.”

“I need to poop.”

Damn, who are you trying to gross out? Come on, let’s hurt each other.

“… ” Monica stared at Shen Qianshu.

“… ” Maxi stared at Shen Qianshu.

“Do you believe that someone will snipe your brains out if you even move the slightest bit?” Monica asked.

Shen Qianshu felt that the two cultist youths have been thinking too hard just for her to hold her pee in. An hour had passed, and nothing happened at all. How could anyone shoot her in the head?

“Life and death happen in a matter of seconds. If you want to risk it with your life, try it out. Is someone trying to snipe you?”

Shen Qianshu understood immediately.

Suddenly, she did not feel like she had to pee urgently.

“Is your life more important or is peeing more important?”

Shen Qianshu was speechless.

They were just speaking to each other when they heard a rustling sound. It sounded like the wind gushing through the forest. Yet, she felt like someone was crawling on the ground and making a terrifying noise. The sound gave her goosebumps.

“What’s that sound?” Shen Qianshu felt a chill run down her spine.

Could someone be here?

It sounded as if someone was stepping on dried leaves. Shen Qianshu looked into her scope hurriedly, and everything was silent under.

“Shh?” Maxi stuck out her pointer finger.

Shen Qianshu’s eyes suddenly widened.

She saw a snake that had the color of the dried leaves slithering slowly. Its skin camouflaged with the dried leaves, and its body was about half as thick as Shen Qianshu’s wrist. Shen Qianshu was so shocked that her mind went blank.

She was most afraid of snakes.

She had once been scared terribly by a non-venomous snake.

This was a deep and old forest. It was also such a huge snake. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was venomous. A bite from it could claim a life. Why wouldn’t anyone be afraid?

What the…!

If she had known earlier, she should not have held her pee in.

Now, she was about to pee her pants.

The snake even slithered towards them!

Shen Qianshu’s mouth had already opened widely. Monica signaled for her not to move with her eyes.

This was a… Chinese sharp-nosed viper that could claim lives.

If one was bitten by a cobra, they could still be saved, but if they were bitten by this snake, it was basically ‘gg’.”

The small squirrel that had just been shot dead was still lying on the ground. The viper glided towards it, and its body was just too similar with the dried leaves. When it crawled, it was very slow. It slithered over and swallowed the squirrel slowly.

The image was so cruel and gory that it was hard to look at it.

Shen Qianshu felt her stomach churning.

The three of them lay still quietly. Monica and Maxi both took out a saber.

Shen Qianshu was so shocked she broke into a cold sweat. Why are they taking the knife? Why not use a gun? They could just shoot the snake and kill it with one shot.

It’s coming, it’s coming.

Ahhhhh, it’s coming!!! Ahhh…

Will it swallow my whole head, ahhhh!!!!

If there was a bullet screen in her head that could make noise, the entire hill and area would be filled with Shen Qianshu’s horrified screams.

That snake had glided over.

It moved very slowly with the feeling like it was already satisfied with its meal.

The bullet screen in Shen Qianshu’s heart was filled with screams again.

It was too… terrifying!

The viper crawled over, and halfway through, it straightened up and stretched itself. Shen Qianshu had almost lost her breath. The two ladies beside her both had a knife in hand. They looked really calm, and their breathing pace did not even go chaotic at all.

She really admired them to bits.

The viper crawled over, and the three of them held their breath subconsciously. The viper curled around the gun lightly and lay on it as if it was very interested in it. It opened its mouth to bite on it, and it realized that it was a cold machine.

The snake slammed its tail on the gun angrily.

This was the first time that Shen Qianshu had seen a venomous snake so closely. She was scared stiff, and everything before her went pitch black.

She had gone blind. She had gone blind. She could not see anything. She could not see anything.

Maxi and Monica looked at each other. They were just about to take action when the viper abandoned the gun and crawled away.

The two ladies heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Indeed, that was rather scary.

Shen Qianshu broke into a cold sweat, and as the wind blew on her, it was cold.

Monica said, “It’s gone. All is well now.”

“It almost bit my head!” Shen Qianshu growled with a lowered voice, and she found her heart again.

Maxi said, “Your head is too big. It has no interest in you, so it left.”

“A big head means intelligence. Your head is small, so you should keep quiet.” Shen Qianshu retorted. She was still a little scared, and she ate some chocolate around her. She had to calm herself down. If this happened again, she might really lose herself.

“Luckily, there was a small squirrel that satisfied its hunger. It was not very hungry, so it had no interest in us.”

If it was a hungry viper, it would have been dangerous.

“Why did you guys use the knives and not take the gun?” Shen Qianshu asked, confused. A gunshot could end things easily. Why did they have to make things difficult?

Maxi said, “Trust me. That group of youths are lying somewhere trying to snipe us. If there was a gunshot, there would be a sound, and that would expose our location. We would be dead without a doubt. It’s hard to dodge a sniper’s first shot.”

“I feel enlightened.” Shen Qianshu nodded.

She got it.

“I’ve observed for an hour, and I did not see anyone.”

Monica and Maxi did not see anyone either, but they did not dare to let their guards down. Shen Qianshu said, “Are we just plagued by imaginary fears?”
