Cheng Si knows that Steve likes snakes. Steve likes those venomous snakes that look vicious and scary to him. He thinks they are extremely beautiful and even a little cute!
However, bungar snakes are not among Steve's favorites.
Steve doesn’t like the bunral snake’s temperament and thinks it is too insidious.
"I went fishing with my friends at night at a fishing ground near a protected area. I was so busy chatting with my friends at night that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. A bungara snake sneaked into the fishing ground I put on the ground.
It was in the bag, I found it when I was getting something."
Looking back on the situation at that time, Steve still remembers the feeling of being startled into a sweat.
“It was frightened by me, and I was frightened by it. If I hadn’t been experienced, vigilant, and responsive, I would have almost been bitten by it!”
It’s really a “big surprise” without making any noise!
This is really not cute!
Unlike Steve, Cheng Si feels okay about the Bungara snake.
"At least they don't chase people." Cheng Si said, "Unlike some snakes, they coil around themselves and don't bother to move. They don't move when people get close to them, and they don't even frighten when they scratch the grass. If they really walk in front of them, they may not even move.
Be careful when you step on it, it may think you are provoking it! It will chase and bite you!"
When Steve heard this, his eyes flickered: "Your description reminds me of several kinds of snakes, and there is a little cute one..."
Cheng Si: "You'd better keep talking about the silver krait."
I don’t want to hear you talk about the “cute” in your eyes! Thank you!!
Steve regretfully changed the topic back and continued to tell them "a few things about my comparison with Lao Yin."
Professor Zhou and others recorded various data after observing the growth of this bungar snake.
After recording, Steve finished telling the story. He looked at the condition of the bungara snake to make sure it was not overly frightened, then put it back into the ditch and watched it go away.
Teacher Lei took back the camera with satisfaction. As a video recorder, he certainly hopes to find more snakes.
Resting in the mountains and forests at night will definitely be frightening for people who are accustomed to city life. The slightest movement will tense their nerves and make them extremely uncomfortable.
Professor Zhou was also worried that Feng Yi, a young man with no experience in field work, would be the hardest to adapt to. However, this guy lay down and fell asleep with a look of relief on his face.
Several young people took turns to watch the night first. When it was not Feng Yi's turn to watch the night, Feng Yi had no sleep disorder at all. He even felt that sleeping in the mountain forest was much more comfortable than sleeping in the backyard of the house in Yuexiu Community!
The team continued to set off the next day, but their luck on the second day was not as good as the first day, and they only found a black-tipped snake.
He did see other amphibians and reptiles, such as frogs, lizards, etc. Feng Yi was not interested in them and acted as a guard while Professor Zhou recorded data.
But after all, the primary goal of this trip was snakes. Professor Zhou was still a little disappointed to see a black-tipped snake at the end of the day.
Seeing Professor Zhou sigh, Feng Yi said: "Don't worry, I feel there are still a lot of snakes in this mountain. I will look for you tomorrow and I will definitely find another little cutie!"
Professor Zhou only thought that Feng Yi was joking and knew that Feng Yi was comforting him, so he smiled and responded: "Okay!"
On the third day after entering the forest, Feng Yi smelled some snakes, but some were far away and some deviated from their planned route. There was no need to look for them deliberately. Besides, Feng Yi couldn't think of enough reasons to let him go.
The team changed routes.
However, certain smell molecules in the air told him that there were snakes waiting for them on the team's route.
So, don’t be in a hurry.
At noon, when the team takes a break.
Steve took out two empty water bags and said, "There is a stream ahead. The water quality is okay. Who can get some water?"
“I’ll go.” Feng Yi stood up.
“I’ll go too!” Cheng Si patted the grass clippings on his body, took the water bag and followed.
“Where to get water?”
Cheng Si gave Feng Yi a "you know" look.
Although he was given a safety lesson by Professor Zhou, Cheng Si was determined to find snakes and finally participated in a field scientific expedition. He must be rewarded.
He thought that his friendship with Feng Yi's teammates had deepened. After all, they were friends who had been trained together.
Furthermore, Cheng Si felt that although Feng Yi looked scheming, he had a naive heart at heart.
Constitutes no threat.
Although the process of catching the bungara snake was different from what he imagined and shocked his outlook, Cheng Si believed in Feng Yi's ability to find snakes.
The ditch was so long before, but Feng Yi found the place where there were snakes!
So if you find a stream now, there should be snakes by the stream, you just have to see if you can find it. The streams in the mountains are also long, and you may not know which section has a snake hidden near it.
Cheng Si looked at Feng Yi and waited for Feng Yi to show him the way.
Feng Yi still pretended, looked around carefully, and also looked at the ground, and then pointed in the direction: "Over there."
Cheng Si raised his eyebrows. He also looked around at the ground. Why didn't he find any clues?!
Seeing Feng Yi going that way, Cheng Si hurriedly followed. He wanted to see if Feng Yi really found a snake again this time!
If you really find a snake, what species will it be? Can you hold it?
If you make a mistake in catching the bungara snake, you have to find face with other snakes!
Feng Yi came to the creek, stamped his feet, and swept his eyes in one place.
“Wow, I found a fat house.”
Feng Yi’s voice rose slightly, as if he was a little surprised.
“Where is it?” Cheng Si came over quickly and looked for a long time with wide eyes but couldn’t find it.
"Ahead, at two o'clock, under the big stone, the snake is hiding in the cracks of the stone. There is grass blocking it, and only a part of it is exposed." Feng Yi said.
Following what Feng Yi pointed out, Cheng Si finally found the "fat house" that Feng Yi mentioned.
Then, he took two steps back.
Cheng Si shouted loudly: "Ste——ve! Your 'little cutie' is here!"
Steve, who was busy with the food, dropped what he was holding and rushed towards them.
“Where is it? Where is my little cutie? What does it look like?”
Cheng Si pointed out to him, "Over there, the amputation king who never bows his head is here!"
Steve was much more sensitive to snakes than Cheng Si. Although Cheng Si didn't point out the specific location, he noticed it at a glance.
Eyes are shining and the tone is exaggerated.
“Oh~~~
Small turned nose～
Cute little turned-up nose～
I love its little turned nose!
Beibi, here I come~"
Feng Yi: “…”
Cheng Si: “……”
Cheng Si wandered over and whispered to Feng Yi: "If Snake could understand what Steve said, he would definitely think that this person is a pervert."
