Reborn in the 80s: My Whole Family Secretly Hears My Thoughts and Goes Wild with Success! - Chapter 163
Yue Minghui placed Yaya in the stroller and was pulled by Qin Feng to the glass window.
Just one glance, and she felt her heart was about to burst.
An enormous black-and-patterned python was coiled on the ground. Its body was roughly over fifty meters long, its girth so thick that it would take five or six men linking arms to encircle it. Its head was as large as a small car, and its serpentine gaze made one’s legs tremble with fear.
If Qin Liping hadn’t been holding her, Yue Minghui would have nearly fainted.
Ye Zhiqiu wasn’t faring much better. She wasn’t particularly afraid of snakes, but this python wasn’t just scary—it instilled a deep, bone-chilling dread.
It seemed only the three children—Qin Feng, Huo Jiusi, and Yaya—were unafraid. Qin Feng was brimming with excitement, finding the giant python magnificent.
Huo Jiusi remained completely calm, even carrying a hint of indifference, as if what he saw wasn’t a colossal serpent but something utterly ordinary.
After just a glance, he lowered his head to look at Yaya.
Yaya waved her little fists, her big, round eyes full of curiosity: Big python, were you calling me?
Besides allowing her to control when she heard animals speak, Huahua also enabled her to communicate with them.
As long as she thought it in her mind, they could hear her.
“Yes, it’s you, little girl.”
Big python, you’re amazing! You’re way down there, but you can still see me. Yaya waved both her hands and feet this time, clearly thrilled.
“Heh, our snake eyes see from different angles than you humans.”
“Having lived for three hundred years, I never thought I’d encounter such an interesting little girl.”
Big python, you’ve already lived for three hundred years? Yaya’s little face was full of astonishment.
“Yes.”
The giant python sighed: “I was perfectly fine in those mountains, but then I was captured and locked up here.”
“Such a small space. All I can do every day is coil up.”
“I really want to go out.”
“Little girl, will you set me free?”
The python slowly raised its body. The enormous head and those vertical pupils made the surrounding crowd collectively take a step back.
At the same time, hissing sounds came from the snakes imprisoned in the other glass enclosures.
The noise was unnerving, making one’s scalp tingle. Yue Minghui tightened her grip on Qin Liping’s arm.
Qin Liping comforted Yue Minghui: “Don’t be afraid.”
“Wow—” Qin Feng’s mouth hung open as he looked up at the giant python.
Huo Jiusi stepped sideways, positioning himself in front of Yaya.
Yaya tugged at Huo Jiusi’s hand, shaking her head at him, signaling that the python wouldn’t harm them.
Big python, I’m sorry, I can’t let you out right now. Look how small I am.
When I’m bigger and capable, I’ll come back to free you, okay?
I know how bad it feels to be locked up.
But if I let you out, can you still go back to live in the mountains?
“I don’t know.”
The python coiled around a tree branch: “I’ve lived here for many years now, and I’m starting to forget what the mountains are like.”
“But I still want to return to the mountains. Even if I die, I want to die there.”
Big python, do you remember which mountain you were originally from?
“Wencheng Mountain.”
Big python, I have to go now. I’ll come see you next time. Wait for me, okay?
The zoo staff, fearing an incident, came over and asked all visitors to leave.
Huo Jiusi pushed Yaya’s stroller along with the crowd heading out. Yaya waved at the giant python.
Little demon, did you hear what I said to the big python?
Huo Jiusi had been holding her hand. Yaya shook their clasped hands.
“I heard.”
Then can you help me look into Wencheng Mountain?
And tell me, do you think I should let the big python go?
“As long as you want to, you can. But this matter needs careful planning.”
Huo Jiusi crouched beside Yaya: “Yaya, most of the animals in this zoo don’t want to be here. Would you set them all free?”
I promised the big python, and I made that promise to it, so I must keep it. As for the other animals, since I didn’t promise, it doesn’t count.
Little demon, I have a different feeling about the big python.
Yaya shook Huo Jiusi’s hand: “Can you think of a way to help me?”
“Okay,” Huo Jiusi agreed.
Whatever Yaya asked, right or wrong, he would agree.
Roadside Small Garden.
“Feeling better?” Qin Liping handed Yue Minghui a bottle of soda.
Yue Minghui shook her head: “I shouldn’t have pushed myself.”
“Mom, are you scared of the big python? I’m sorry. I won’t ask you to watch it with me again.” Qin Feng crouched in front of Yue Minghui, resting his head on her knees, his eyes teary.
Yue Minghui stroked Qin Feng’s face: “It’s not your fault. Mom overestimated her own courage.”
“Xiao Feng, don’t learn from Mom and push yourself like this, okay? Don’t force yourself to endure things, understand?”
“But if that person is very important to you, more important than yourself, and you’re willing to get hurt for them, then that’s fine too. Just follow your heart.”
Little demon, push me to Auntie.
Huo Jiusi followed Yaya’s instruction and pushed her to Yue Minghui’s side. Yaya reached out from the stroller and grasped Yue Minghui’s finger.
Yue Minghui was deeply moved and was surprised to find herself feeling much better almost instantly.
Just a second ago, she felt panicked, short of breath, and weak all over, but the moment Yaya’s little hand held her finger, her fear seemed to vanish.
Yue Minghui turned to look at Yaya and saw her eyes curved in a smile, her little mouth grinning, the vermilion dot on her forehead shining brightly.
“Our Yaya is truly a little lucky star.” Yue Minghui picked Yaya up and kissed her several times.
How could they not love such a sensible and thoughtful little treasure?
Before they even reached the panda exhibit, Yaya fell asleep, and Qin Feng was also exhausted, sweating profusely.
As it was also noon, they decided to end their outing. After grabbing a bite to eat, Qin Liping and Yue Minghui took Qin Feng home.
Ye Zhiqiu took Yue Youxin, Yue Youhui, Huo Jiusi, and Yaya back to the compound.
Even though they didn’t visit the pandas, Qin Feng had bought Yaya a little panda backpack, and Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui had gotten her a small panda plush toy.
Ye Zhiqiu washed them clean and placed them on Yaya’s little bed.
The family noticed that Yaya really loved these kinds of plush toys, so they would often buy them for her as gifts.
Needless to say, whenever Yue Mingli and Meng Fang went shopping, they would definitely buy something for Yaya.
Lu Shuangshuang was also very generous, frequently buying Yaya clothes or dolls.
And as for Huo Jiusi, every season he would have loads of things sent over from abroad.
It was precisely because of all these things that taking care of Yaya became much easier for them.
This day was also when Ye Jiawu and He Bin had time off. Dong Xiaomei wanted to go visit her grandfather and had called Ye Jiawu in advance.
Ye Jiawu came to pick up Dong Xiaomei at the entrance of the song and dance troupe, with He Bin accompanying him.
“Oh, Xiao Xiang, what are you doing here?” Lu Shuangshuang came out with Dong Xiaomei.
