He is a normal person, and there are no normal people who are not afraid of snakes. Even a pervert like A Guang caught snakes and played with them every day when he was a child, and they were often scared when they were children.
However, because of his ability to catch snakes, he attracted a bunch of children to gather around him.
Children are prone to admiration and find it exciting and fun. In addition, they are short of food and clothing. His skills can satisfy everyone's cravings, and many children want to play with him.
Snake meat is also meat. When we were young, they used to cook snake soup in pots on picnics in the mountains.
A Guang grabbed the snake's head with one hand, and with the other hand, he twisted the snake's body around his arm, grabbed it in his hand, and raised it towards them, which made them shrink back their necks, but they didn't move back.
"Bring the bamboo basket here, why are you just standing there?"
"Don't you want to admire your glory first? You are the most handsome when you catch a snake."
Ye Yaodong opened the bamboo cover on the bamboo basket and handed it to him.
"Are you comforting yourself? Except that I am not as good as you, I am better than you in every way!"
As Aguang said, he put the snake's tail down first towards the bamboo basket, and then dropped the snake's head. Ye Yaodong quickly closed the lid with quick eyes and hands.
"Come on, stop bragging, I'm the most handsome youngster in the whole village! Keep going, catch more before dark, and we can recycle the stew after use."
"You can have this!"
"I have chickens at home!" Azheng said excitedly. "When it gets dark and the chickens have all returned to their cages, I will go catch one."
"Can your wife scold you?"
"No, I have made a lot of money this year, and my back is straight. I can kill them all in one pot!"
"I understand, then just take it away from the chicken coop that night. Just a snake and a chicken, monogamous, perfect!"
"ah?"
Ah Zheng was dumbfounded, he was just bragging.
Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and praised, "Hahaha, Dongzi is right, one snake and one chicken, one husband, one wife, one pot a day!"
"Hey... let me tell you, my mother can break my legs if I carry away the whole chicken coop! Otherwise, I will eat my family's food today, my eldest sister's food tomorrow, my second sister's food the day after tomorrow, and my second sister's food the day after tomorrow.
My third sister’s will be captured the day after tomorrow, and my fourth sister’s will be divided evenly, so everything will be fine.”
Ye Yaodong almost made him laugh.
"You're just eating it, it's obvious, it's distributed evenly, and the rain and dew are equally shared, right?"
Everyone didn't understand what "gnawing old" meant, but it didn't affect their understanding of what he meant at all. They were all very envious and kept talking as they walked.
"You're really good!"
"Quite good at planning..."
"The abacus is crackling, the risks are shared, and there is no need to eat less. If you have more sisters, you will be great!"
Ah Zheng was also a little proud, "I also send fish, shrimps and crabs to their family. This is called reciprocity."
"Come on, I am tired of the dragon and phoenix soup every day. I have to change the taste occasionally. After recycling, we will fry, fry, boil and stew all over again, and have a whole snake feast."
"Where can you cook so many kinds of things? It's not troublesome. Just stew them all in one pot..."
"Are you stupid? What does the fat man do? You can't ask him to do it. Why bother? Isn't this all his job? Let's just wait and eat."
"That's right..."
They walked and chatted without fear of a venomous snake jumping out.
Venomous snakes are relatively rare here. Unless they jump in unexpectedly, they are mostly non-venomous cauliflower snakes.
There are many kinds of snakes called cauliflower snakes in rural areas. One is the black-browed snake, and the other is the king snake. However, some also call other snakes cauliflower snakes, such as tiger-spotted colubrid, double-shifted snake, and white-striped snake.
Snake etc.
The cauliflower snake is also unique to China. Just like the native dog is called the Chinese garden dog, the cauliflower snake can also be called the Chinese garden snake.
Cauliflower snakes are snake-eating and are more flexible and powerful than ordinary snakes. They can easily kill snakes smaller than cauliflower snakes. They are like the king of snakes. Even venomous snakes will drink up in anger when they encounter them.
end.
Therefore, there is also a saying that "there are cauliflowers in every mile, but no poisonous snakes in ten miles".
"The Waking of Insects has just passed. It's not summer yet, so there shouldn't be that many snakes yet. Do we have to look for mouse holes?"
They walked around and saw nothing more, Ye Yaodong suggested.
"That's fine. Let's look for them separately. It's too inefficient to gather together."
"But I don't dare to catch him, can I come with you?" Ah Zheng said timidly.
A Guang looked at him with disdain, "Okay, let's look for them two by two. If you find them, just tell me and I'll go and catch them."
"Okay, okay, then I'll leave it to Brother Guangzi." Xiaoxiao joked.
Ye Yaodong also handed the bamboo basket in which he just caught the snake to Azheng, "Take it!"
Ah Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Can't you give me the other empty one?"
"No, I'm just exercising your courage. Take it, you have a master by your side, what are you afraid of? We two weaklings need an empty one more."
"All right."
Work in groups of two to find efficiency savings.
The weather has just warmed up now, and the daytime temperature is not that high or hot. The cauliflower snake basically does not leave the cave too far, and mainly hunts in the area near the mountain cave.
Searching for mouse holes with a purpose can still be rewarding.
No, Ye Yaodong and Xiao Xiao just climbed up a slope and walked into an edge of the mountain road. They happened to see another cauliflower snake appearing in the grass not far away, and this one looked quite big. It felt like it was one meter long.
Seven.
I don’t know if it just swallowed a mouse. Its belly is bulging and it looks a bit disgusting and scary. It is still moving in place without wandering away.
"Ah Guang, Ah Guang, hurry up, hurry up, there's something going on..."
There was no one else on the surrounding hillsides, only a few of them, and they were not far apart. After shouting, Ah Guang and Ah Zheng hurried over immediately.
The snake didn't know if it heard the movement on their side, but it spit out the bulging mass in its abdomen, and then moved quickly to escape.
Ye Yaodong and Xiaoxiao didn't care to look at the black stuff it spit out, and immediately stepped forward with long sticks to stop it from leaving.
In order to prevent it from hitting the snake on the stick, the two of them used their sticks to make use of each other. As soon as the snake entangled itself, the other person would pick it off but would not let it go away, thus delaying the time.
Aguang jumped down a hillside and ran over quickly, "I caught another one, this one is bigger."
Maybe it was because the big thing in its stomach had just been vomited out, and it was tortured for a while under their sticks. The snake didn't look that flexible, so Aguang was able to pick it up and catch it casually.
Ye Yaodong was stunned when he saw his fast movements, "Looking at how easy it was for you to catch him, I almost thought I knew it!"
"What's so difficult about this? Why don't you give it a try? I'll give you a hand on this?"
He waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it! Anyway, with you, I will be a good brother for life!"
"Cut~"
"Put it in quickly."
Ah Zheng immediately hid the bamboo basket in his hand behind his back, "Put it in Dongzi's bamboo basket. If the two of them are put together, they will fight. Later, the big snake will eat the little snake, and it will be useless to catch it."
"Normally not. If you want to eat, you'll eat poisonous snakes, unless you're extremely hungry."
"Then put it where you are! Distribute it evenly!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him speechlessly, "You are affecting my efficiency in finding snakes. Hurry up. If you continue to be verbose, I won't take you to do good things tonight."
"Does this also threaten me?"
Aguang urged: "Hurry up, what's the ink stain on? It needs to be installed anyway. You fill it here first, and then you install it there."
When people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads. Who makes two people feel like a family? He is an outsider, 2 to 1. He can’t speak loudly, damn!
Ah Zheng muttered something, quickly opened the lid, handed the bamboo basket to him, and asked him to put the snake in.
Ye Yaodong took a stick and poked at the side, where the cauliflower snake just spat out a bunch of black stuff.
"It's really a mouse."
"It looks wet and a bit disgusting."
"This is what the snake just spit out."
"Evil~"
"If you catch it later and let it digest naturally, you might be able to grow some meat." Ye Yaodong said shockingly without caring about the feelings of others.
"Evil~ You are so disgusting that I don't even want to eat it."
"That's just right. There's still a few more bites of meat left for everyone to share."
They shook their shoulders in disgust and hurriedly stayed away from him.
Immediately afterwards, they split up to look for each other.
The weather has just warmed up, and the range of snake activities is not wide, so it is relatively easy to find them around the mountains.
When it got dark, they found three more, but they went a little further.
"Next time I will make a few snake traps and put them on the mountain. It will ensure harvest every day, save trouble, and can come in handy at critical times."
"We'll talk about it next time. Let's finish today's work first. It's getting dark, so I guess I'll have to work in the dark."
"We can make more cages. We just saw a pheasant and a hare, but we didn't catch them. It's a pity..."
"Ahhh...muntjac! There are muntjacs!" Suddenly, Ah Zheng screamed.
The others turned around in surprise and saw a yellow figure jumping over.
"Damn it, there really is a muntjac!"
"Hurry up... catch up and have a look..."
The four of them were so excited that they hurriedly chased after them, but their eight legs couldn't outrun the deer's four legs. It ran uphill and downhill for a few steps before losing sight of them.
"Oh, it's a pity that I didn't bring a gun."
A Guang also regretted that he had a gun at home, so he wanted to catch a snake, so he didn't bring it over.
"Wait, no, listen, there seems to be another sound?" Ye Yaodong pricked up his ears, "There seems to be a cat meowing?"
"Wild cats, right? Stray cats are everywhere, and there are quite a lot of noises at night on the mountain." Azheng carefully held the bamboo basket in his hand and said casually.
Aguang and Xiaoxiao held flashlights in their hands and shined them everywhere. It was dark and the light was poor, so their field of vision was limited. They looked around and found nothing.
However, when they walked two meters further, they heard a clearer meow of a cat, and the flashlight also shone on the corner of the downhill slope.
A Guang, who was walking in front, stopped and took a closer look, frowning and identifying carefully.
Everyone saw that he was not leaving, and the beam of the flashlight had stopped moving, and their eyes fell on the spot where the flashlight stayed.
"Grass, it's not a stray cat, it's an ocelot!"
"Ah? Ocelot?"
"Ocelot?"
Chapter completed!
