Yet Ouyang Gong was also profoundly skilled in the Snake Control Method.
Today, as he played the flute, he coaxed a horde of snakes into the courtyard to entertain his little niece and Mr. Song's son.
The flute's sound was not melodious but carried a peculiar sharpness and an exotic flair, and within the white snow... the snakes twisted their bodies, crawling forward. Upon reaching the courtyard, they raised their heads hissing, tongues flickering, and then began to dance to the flute's tune.
An watched those strange creatures and suddenly burst into Madam Tong's arms, crying loudly, shouting, "Scared! Scared!"
Meanwhile, little Lingxue waved her fists excitedly, giggling.
Madam Tong felt her son burrowing into her embrace and had no choice but to helplessly watch as Ouyang Gong stopped playing and offered a smile in apology.
Madam Tong said, "Estate Master Ouyang, there's no need for this, An is still young, he'll be better when he's older."
