Chapter forty-eighth
Early morning, dim light.
The mountains are secluded, everything is in its infancy, and it is the laziest time of the day. But in the silent forest, there is suddenly a rustling sound, and then the branches and leaves are pushed aside, revealing a group of people.
There were six people in total, and it was Uncle Fang who was leading the way. His arms and trouser legs were tied tightly, and he was holding a pair of iron pliers in his hand. Another person was half a step away, carrying a strong search light. The others scattered behind,
Two people held net bags, one held a wooden fork, and the other carried a medicine box, scattering some yellow powder as they walked.
This is a snake-repellent powder prepared by experts. It is said that snakes and insects are immediately evacuated. Phoenix Mountain is a vast area, so the team adopted a method of compressing the space to force them to appear little by little.
Bamboo-leaf green snakes are diurnal snakes that like low light and often come out in the early morning and evening. But now in July, the temperature is the highest, so they usually move to shady places to live.
A total of two teams were found in the scenic area, one to check the main routes, and the other to check the deep forest trails. Uncle Fang is worthy of being an old mountain man. Others looked at the miscellaneous roads, but he knew them all, which indeed saved a lot of effort.
The man carrying the search light was a policeman named Song Chao. He was young, lively and very talkative. He kept silent all the way, and after walking for a long time without seeing any trace of the snake, he finally started to say: "Old Fang, what is this?"
place?"
"This is under the back of the old cow, three or four miles away from the steps. We call it Caoweizi. You see, the grass in this area is long and dense. If the cattle and sheep can catch up, they will have to feed five kilograms more fat."
When everyone took a look, they saw that it was indeed full of lush weeds, and the tallest ones were even waist-deep. The man carrying the medicine box was much more steady and said: "Xiao Song, be careful, this area is the best for hiding."
"Oh, good!"
Song Chao responded and winked at Uncle Fang, obviously not taking it seriously.
The group of people walked for a while, and when they were about to leave the grass enclosure, Uncle Fang suddenly paused, turned his head and looked in a certain direction, and shouted: "Over there!"
brush!
Song Chao shuddered and subconsciously turned on the search light. A beam of extremely strong light shot out, which was very obvious in the dark mountains. If it hit the snake, it would be dizzy and shrink into a ball.
Everyone reacted quickly. The person holding the wooden fork was in front, and the person carrying the net bag was behind. They approached carefully and quickly. When they got there, they saw a yellow-haired mountain rat squatting on the spot and shivering.
"Emma, Bai is so excited!"
Song Chao turned off the light and complained: "Old Fang, can you tell me correctly before shouting? It's a waste of electricity to turn it on and off."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake." Uncle Fang was also embarrassed.
After this interruption, the atmosphere was no longer stiff and became much more relaxed. The leader was carrying the medicine box. He checked the time and said, "Okay, we have been busy all morning. Let's find a place to eat."
"Go forward for a while and you'll find a cement road. There are chairs over there." Uncle Fang identified the direction.
"Okay, let's take a rest somewhere."
Immediately, the six people walked forward to the right. After about ten minutes, the surrounding dense forest gradually became thinner, the line of sight became wider and wider, and a main road was vaguely visible.
Several people had brought their own dry food, and their stomachs were growling with hunger. Song Chao took off his stab-proof gloves and ran forward shivering: "No one can fight against me. I have to occupy a berth. My feet are very fast."
…”
"ah!"
Before he finished speaking, he watched helplessly as a blue shadow struck him like lightning. Not to mention the nerves in his body, even his brain did not respond. He only felt numbness on the back of his hand, and then there was severe pain, and the blood beat crazily.
And when the shadow landed, it seemed as if it had chosen a route, swooping into the forest and disappearing after a few turns.
This incident happened in just a few seconds. Everyone was so shocked that they lost all consciousness. They trembled when they saw Song Chao fell to the ground and hurriedly ran over to check.
The young man who had been so lively just now was now in shock. His wounds were burning and quickly turned black and purple.
"grass!"
The leader cursed, took out the first-aid medicine and fed it. The other friends contacted the department and quickly arranged to go down the mountain for treatment. Uncle Fang was also frightened and his liver trembled. This was just the beginning, and he lost one person. He couldn't help but be secretly afraid.
Several people carried Song Chao to the bench, and the leader asked with hatred: "Old Fang, you are the closest, can you see clearly?"
"No, that beast was too fast. He was gone in the blink of an eye!"
"Damn it, if I catch it, I will definitely skin it!"
"Team Liu..."
The man holding the wooden fork suddenly called out, but stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Well, I think, I think that beast has planned it for a long time. He may have targeted us in Caoweizi and waited for us to be at our most relaxed before jumping out." The man considered.
"Yes, it doesn't seem to be afraid of that fan." Another person added.
"What?"
The leader's whole body trembled, and he didn't dare to follow the association, but the more he dared not, the more he couldn't stop his imagination: If this is really the case, then it is too damn evil!
…………
Without success, the snake-catching team naturally cannot continue. Especially since the injured person is a policeman and a serious civil servant, this has escalated into a serious matter.
When Uncle Fang and the others were preparing to go down the mountain, on a tree hundreds of meters away, a green snake was spitting out a message. Its body color seemed to be more delicate than before. It lay still for a moment, and then...
A beautiful ribbon snakes down.
There was a lot of snake repellent powder sprinkled on the ground. The snake swam leisurely across the ground without any delay and went straight to the depths of the mountain.
It is indeed a green bamboo leaf. Its ancestors may have migrated from Changbai Mountain. It has always been doing its job and being a low-key snake. But I don't know when, it felt that it was wrapped in a breath and slowly nourished it.
With the size of a snake's brain, it's hard to figure out what's going on. I can only have a vague feeling: it's easier to hunt and it can swim faster.
There are only two instincts of living things: survival and reproduction.
Now, the Green Snake seems to have one more thing, that is, longing, longing for this mysterious breath. It is particularly sensitive to anything with a similar breath, such as a flower, a fruit... This should all be its own, but why?
There's also a damn fat squirrel fighting for it.
Originally, the green snake was fine in the mountains. But recently, it felt that the aura had become more restless, and even affected itself. In addition, the number of noisy and annoying two-legged creatures increased, making it want to fight.
Talk to relieve this anxiety.
The green snake swam slowly, suddenly stopped, and its upper body suddenly straightened up.
"Goo!"
On a tree not far away, I saw a big gray-haired squirrel standing in a farmer's squatting posture and saying hello to it.
"Sizzle!"
"Goo!"
The two animals spoke with different accents and seemed to be able to communicate.
After barking for a while, the green snake suddenly became angry and swooped up the tree trunk. The squirrel was already prepared and jumped to another tree and disappeared.
The green snake's vertical pupils rose again, staring coldly in that direction, and then slowly swam away.
…
At the same time, at home in Fenghuangji, Gu Yu was sighing.
The fact that two tourists were bitten was a big news in Baicheng. He naturally knew that it also included the news of the establishment of a snake-catching team. Of course, Uncle Fang did not expect to join.
What worries him now is that he can't go up the mountain to practice, lest he be hit by others and caught and sliced into pieces.
What's even worse is: Tomorrow, Saturday, Xiaozhai is coming.
