Episode 127's

They laughed with Aryan jokes that could melt their atmosphere in walking through the forest.

"It looks like we can stop. There's a lot of dry wood. Let's collect." Arya answered who ordered them to stop.

In a place about 7 meters from the camp had found a little firewood. The dry branches and also the dry tree trunk fall on the ground which has a little grass.

"You're not too far from this point. Go to the corners to make it wider but not more than 5 meters." Answer Arya.

"Good." Answer them.

The Queen began to collect the tree trunks and carry the yes and put it to the collection place along with the other wood.

Surrounding it, there were some tall and moist grasses in the Arya. Seen above the tall grass is indeed a lot of branches that fall. Arya tried to take it because she has long legs and a stocky body.

Arya started taking firewood from that place. And the other members were also in the direction of collecting firewood and began to pile it up in one place. Queen who saw the pile of wood was already a lot made him take the initiative to tie it into one so that it was easy below.

Queen walked towards Arya's place, as she saw there was a Ficus or banyan tree that had many hanging roots. Queen thought to take the root to be made as a rope that will glue firewood into one.

But suddenly after a long time they collected firewood. Arya went back to that place and was taking a little more firewood into the grass. Arya also stepped on the moist soil. Arya was disturbing a snake that was in the tall grass.

The snake slithered towards Arya's feet and was spotted by the Queen. The queen who had obtained Ficus root and brought him saw Arya would be bitten by the snake if she stepped forward again. Queen quickly pulled Arya away.

"Snake watch!" Said the Queen by yelling at Arya and pulled. Queen's voice was heard with the other colleagues so they came to Queen and Arya.

Arya is pulled by Queen behind Queen, and Queen has been holding a twig that has been held since before to serve as a stick to repel the snake. The queen extended the twig to the body of the snake and threw the snake away from them.

"You okay?" ask Arya to Queen.

"No. The snake is venomous, thankfully you didn't walk any deeper." Answer Queen.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Everyone was panicking at the voice of the Queen who was shouting earlier.

"I'm fine, is it lucky that there is this woman? What's your name? Because we were already acquainted but still I introduced myself." Arya was afraid of snakes.

"Queen's." The Queen answered, watching the snake that had gone far away.

"What's the matter exactly?" ask them again.

"So I almost got bitten by a snake." Answer Arya.

"What's? A snake?" ask those who were surprised and also the other two women who were afraid to hear the word snake.

"Only snakes that have can be a little. Even if bitten will not lead to fatal. At least just fainted temporarily." Queen answered lightly with her back to them because she still saw the snake that had been thrown by her with a stick.

"What kind of switch? Why only a little? Aren't all snakes dangerous to humans?" asked Arya who was afraid but still asked out of curiosity.

" Eastern Water Snake, Family Colubridae Gebus Sinonatrix. Light venomous snakes, small to medium size, oblong head, blunt mouth, have a different head shape on the neck. Thick and round body. Habitat in mountains, ponds, rice fields, rivers and also found in the ground." Queen replied.

"And you were almost in the area of his house." Queen replied again.

"You know a lot about snakes?" ask the others.

Queen who did not want to answer the question from them, immediately walked towards the root of the Finus tree that had been taken by her. The queen had already taken the tree root and continued her steps towards the pile of wood. The queen began to make the two sides of the root face each other on the ground.

"What does Queen want to do?" ask Arya who followed Queen because she was in cuekin.

The queen begins to show the wood above the roots she has already positioned.

"It's easy to carry." Answer the Queen who is stacking wood.

"Oh, you're smart too. Were you a Boy Scout in the past? Or a climber?" ask Arya who wants to be close to Queen.

"Maybe." Queen replied stopping her movements and looked at Arya for talking too much.

"The gaze is so sharp." Arya answered in her heart.

"The others take some more Finus roots. We're gonna help Queen compile the firewood we got tied up." Answer Arya.

"Come on." Answer them.

They've got five piles of firewood.

"We'll rest for a while." Answer someone who is exhausted.

.

"Yes, let's take a break. And will continue later. You rest for a while and drink the mineral water you bring, don't get dehydrated." Answer Arya.

"okay." Answer them.

"We're 10 meters from camp. And we've already passed 45 minutes. So we can still have some more time to collect the firewood." Answer Arya

"All right." Answer them

Those who rest for 10 minutes then continue the journey up to 15 meters from the camp. They began to collect firewood back so as to get 14 medium-sized clusters of firewood.

"I don't think we're getting a lot of firewood. What if we go back? We also only have half an hour left. That's enough for us to travel back so on time." Answer Arya.

"OKAY. I also think that way because my stomach is already rumbling." Answer someone.

"You're right, I'm hungry." The answer.

The Queen sensed that someone was watching them from a distance. But Queen remained calm and looked ordinary.

"Well, as already said, the one who lifts the wood is the man. So because there are 14 stacks. You only need to bring 2 stacks of each person. And the women brought us our remaining mineral water." Answer Arya

"Good." Answer them together.

They were all lined up 1 lengthwise again, with the men carrying 2 piles of firewood each. By carrying it on the left right side using the right hand and the left hand carrying 1 stack each. They walked back to Camp.
