"Sir, do you like this little hamster?" The female clerk's voice brought Chi Feichi back to his thoughts.
Chi Feichi realized that he had been staring at the hamster in the glass box for a long time, and then looked at the hamster again, "No, I just found that this hamster's legs are shorter than the healthy mice we studied in class before, nearly five millimeters shorter.
,The hind legs are too thin..."
The female shop assistant Doudou was confused: "..."
Chi Feichi continued, "When they grow up, they will look better than other hamsters because they will look like a dumpling if they gain weight. However, because of this, they will be inferior to other hamsters in terms of exercise. Hamsters themselves also reject exercise.
Otherwise, the health will be worse than other hamsters."
The female clerk hurriedly explained, "You are studying mice in class, right? The legs of mice are generally longer than hamsters..."
"No, I study animal medicine, that is, a veterinarian. Compared with mice, we mostly observe common pets." Chi Feichi said.
The female clerk said, well, since you study animal medicine, you can definitely tell the difference between hamsters and mice...
Compared with other hamsters, this hamster really doesn't like exercise much.
Under the regretful look of the female clerk, Chi Fei left the pet shop and continued walking forward.
I didn’t go far when I heard an energetic shout:
"Sell snakes! Sell snakes! It can roll and look cute, and it can hunt by itself. The cheap red snake only costs two thousand yuan. Two thousand yuan. You can take home the rare and smart mutant red snake!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
In the past, I often heard shouting in China, but here in Japan... in the memory he inherited, it had never happened before.
Even if there is an event in the mall, he will find a girl to recite the lyrics in a very formulaic way. This is the first time he has heard such a hometown flavor!
So, he stopped and turned around.
In a street shop, the owner is busy cleaning with his head down.
In the glass partition near the door, a gray and black snake stood upright, staring directly at him with a pair of black eyes. Snake Nobuko vomited happily.
At first glance, it's scary.
However, what this guy said is: "Sir, do you want to buy a snake? I'm cheap. It only costs two thousand yuan. It's not enough to go out for a good meal. It doesn't bite anyone. Just don't let me eat loaches anymore. How about you let me go?"
It’s okay if you don’t hunt for food, I can feed myself very well~”
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, then walked in the door, "Boss..."
Your snake has become a spirit!
"Ah, welcome!" The boss who was sweeping the floor quickly put the broom aside.
This is a store that specializes in selling special animals, such as snakes, lizards, and spiders. As soon as you enter the store, the temperature feels a lot cooler.
But the boss was very kind, "Do you want to buy a pet?"
Snake: "Look here! Look here!"
Chi Feichi turned around and took a look, and found that the snake turned around in the glass box and was still staring at him.
The boss's face darkened for a moment, then he said hurriedly, "Most of the pets in our store are still very docile. This snake always likes to stare at people, but it has no malice..."
Snake snarled coldly: "It's my fault if you can't sell the pet. If you sell me, will I just keep an eye on the person who comes? Even if you can't sell it, you can at least change the food!"
Chi Feichi ignored the 'snake whisper' and observed, "The pattern of this snake looks like a red snake, but it doesn't have any red at all. What kind is it?"
"Ahem," the boss was a little embarrassed and took out a brochure, "It is indeed a red snake. We have a certificate from the breeding farm. Every snake is registered. Its parents are pure red snakes. You see
…”
Chi Feichi looked down and saw that there was indeed very detailed registration information on the booklet.
There are photos and numbers of the parents of this creature. The two snakes are very good in color, red and black, without any gray at all. I don’t know how this creature turned gray and black.
The boss continued to promote, "Actually, this snake is quite good. Generally, red snakes have the smell of rotten fish, but this snake has almost no smell and is very clean."
Chi Feichi took a deep look at the boss, did he think of him as a novice, "Although the red snake is classified as a non-venomous snake, it is a slightly venomous snake with posterior groove teeth, but its toxicity is basically not harmful to the human body.
It’s hard to guarantee that it won’t bring harmful toxins to the human body due to mutations.”
It is difficult to identify the species, and it is not certain whether the mutation will cause any harm. This is probably why this snake cannot be sold.
boss:"……"
How do you solve it when you meet someone who knows it?
The snake frantically spat out a message: "Sir, I don't bite anyone!"
Chi Feichi ignored him and continued to say to the boss, "This snake is at least three years old, right? The lifespan of a red snake is generally 6.1 years. If I buy it back, even if I take good care of it, it will only last about three years."
"
boss:"……"
Snake: "No, no, no, I feel very good. I'm still young!"
Chi Feichi: "Furthermore, red snakes are raised from adults and have a relatively bad temper. We usually buy them from larvae and seedlings. They are very docile when they are raised since they were young, and they will not be aggressive when they grow up."
boss:"……"
Snake: "I have watched people coming and going since I was a child. I am friendly to humans when I see them. I have a very good personality!"
Chi Feichi looked at the speechless boss and sighed.
No wonder you can't sell it, you are not as thick-skinned as a snake...
The boss smiled awkwardly and changed the topic, "Actually, you can take a look at the other ones. We also have normal red snakes. By the way, there are also corn snakes. Corn snakes have a docile personality and can live up to 15 years. As a
It’s very suitable for keeping pets…”
The snake lay down weakly: "Sir, look at me again, look at me again, the evil-hearted boss has been feeding the little loach for three years, three years! I haven't even eaten anything else, I can only look at others."
If a snake eats a meal, wouldn’t it be that the color is a bit weird...it will kill the snake..."
"Don't look any further," Chi Feichi called to the boss who was about to lead the way, "Let's just go this way."
The boss was stunned and looked at the glass box in surprise.
The snake in the glass box suddenly stood up again and stared directly at Chi Feichi.
"How much?" Chi Feichi asked again.
The boss came to his senses, and at a flat price of two thousand yen, he packed the breeding instruction manual and certificate, and also included a plastic transparent suitcase. He sold the snake almost as if it was a gift to the god of plague, and watched Chi Feichi gratefully.
Go out.
This snake really knows its own price and didn't call it wrong before.
After leaving the door, Chi Feichi turned into a side alley and put the plastic box on the ground.
The snake in the plastic box lay lazily and spat out a message: "Little mouse, little frog, little chicken, little fish... you, what are you doing?!"
Chi Feichi pinched the snake's seven inches and picked it up, looking at the snake in front of him.
Before... no, until he met this snake, he had never thought about raising a snake.
Even if you want to tame a helper, snakes have many shortcomings.
Snakes can't see much at night. They mainly rely on vibrations from their tongues or their own 'heat sensors' to sense the world around them. Searching for non-living things is almost useless.
Moreover, snakes generally have low IQs and most of them survive based on instinct. The one with the highest IQ is probably the cobra, but he can't forget that thing even if he wants to raise it.
There are also snakes that are afraid of the cold and need to hibernate.
Originally, he was more inclined to buy creatures such as cats or birds that are easy to search, and then cooperate with him to collect intelligence after communicating and domesticating them...
However, this guy has a high IQ, almost on par with ordinary humans.
The snake let Chi Feichi carry it and didn't dare to resist. It would be a trivial matter if it bit someone and was sent back. The key was that this guy was holding its vitals!
What does this guy want to do?
I heard that some people eat everything, could it be...
In the dim alley, a person and a snake looked at each other. Both the human eyes and the snake's pupils were calm and indifferent, but the thoughts in their hearts had been spinning several times.
Finally, Chi Feichi broke the silence and took out the key chain from his pocket, "Can you see what I'm holding in my hand?"
The snake stared at it for a while, and murmured: "You are actually playing this with a snake. Could it be that he has the legendary snake disease among humans... Will he not even be able to eat loaches in the future? It's really hard for me...
…”
Chi Feichi's face was a little dark, and he said in a faint voice, "I don't know if it's difficult for you, but I'll count to three. If you don't answer my question, I guarantee you will show up at the dinner table tomorrow."
The snake suddenly raised its head, its round eyes still emotionless, but obviously frightened.
Chi Feichi started counting, "One, two..."
Snake: "Yes! Yes! Yes! I can see it, isn't it the key? I know this thing!"
Chi Feichi nodded and thought again, "Do you know him? In other words, you can see things clearly at night. The only question is whether you know him or not?"
"I can see..." After the snake was surprised, it seemed to suddenly become happy. It nodded wildly up and down like a chicken pecking at rice. "Actually, I know a lot of things. Look, I know that you humans express 'yes' and 'yes'."
', just nod like this..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
This... no, this is second-rate!
Among the shortcomings of snakes, this guy does not have a low IQ. If he can see at night, hibernation is not unacceptable. He is too lazy to go out and run around in winter anyway.
In fact, if you think about it, snakes also have many advantages.
Just feed it once a week and you don’t need to take it for a walk...
The snake shook its head and was a little dizzy, then stopped and said with emotion, "This is the first time I have communicated with living creatures since I was born. Human beings don't know what I say, and they don't know that I am imitating them, but the same kind of people can't."
Understand what I mean, they just swim around, hunt, and rest..."
Chi Feichi looked at the pair of snake eyes that seemed to be cold and emotionless, and his heart was faintly touched. He quickly regained his composure, but his tone was still slower, "My name is Chi Feichi, i ke hi oso.
"
As he said that, he put the snake aside, took out a pen and notepad, tore off a page, wrote words, katakana and romanization, and placed it next to the snake's eyes.
"Your name is Fei Chi, hi a ka..." Chi Fei Chi tore up another piece of paper and wrote it, placing it next to the previous note, "It just so happens that as a red snake, it is not red, so it suits you very well."
Fei Chi stared attentively and nodded, but this time he didn't babble.
