This piebald snake is as thick as a girl's wrist and more than one meter long. The snake's body twists back and forth to form a figure "8". The snake's head is oval, raised high, and hisses out. It is estimated that there are at least two snakes.
It weighs more than ten kilograms.
"Changchong, have you finished your homework and memorized the words?"
"I have finished writing, sister, and I have memorized English words. Come and go. Nod yes and no."
"Don't be so talkative. Go and help me take the snake back to Uncle Nagata. Just say it's not a big problem and remind him that when you take a snake out, remember to wipe it with a wet towel."
After saying this, the girl skillfully picked off the big spotted snake and put it around the black boy's neck, just like handing it over to a child, and ordered him to send the snake back.
The snake's tail almost got wrapped around my arm, and it touched me accidentally, and it felt cold.
The black boy had a snake coiled around his neck. He pinched the snake's head and said with a smile: "Then I'm going, sister. When grandpa comes back, you tell him."
"I know, let's go."
After the black guy left, the girl sat down and asked me: "I don't think I've seen you before. You're not from our town, are you? What's your name?"
I said my name is Xiang Feng, and I came to see your grandfather to ask him something.
This snake-playing girl is called Xiao Changying. She dropped out of school long ago and now mainly helps at home and manages the snake house business.
She seemed to have little contact with her peers from other places. After chatting for a while, I coaxed her to sleep.
She smiled and said: "There are more than thirty venomous snakes and more than ten pythons in my room, and my grandfather has even more in his room. Some of them were caught by us ourselves, and some were sent by people from the town. If you are from out of town, you must have never seen them."
, do you want to go and have a look?”
"Farewell, it's fine if we just sit here."
I wiped my sweat and thought you are too perverted, and there are poisonous snakes, what if they bite me.
After waiting for more than half an hour, an old man with white hair came back with a sickle in his hand and a bamboo basket on his back.
The snake girl hurried up to meet him and whispered something in the old man's ear.
The old man took off his basket and put it in the corner, walked over and said, "Young man, where did you come from and why are you looking for me?"
"Are you Xiao Gong Snake King, Xiao Zhengxing?"
"I am." The white-haired old man nodded.
I glanced at the girl and hesitated to speak.
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it. She is my granddaughter."
"Okay, then I'll ask."
"About two months ago, did two men come to see you? They are about 40 years old, speak with a northern accent, and are about 1.8 meters tall."
The old man frowned, thought for a while and said: "There are two people who have come to see me, one is normal, the other..."
He frowned and recalled: "The other one was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a hat, and his whole body was covered to be airtight. He was suffering from a strange disease."
"grandfather!"
"I remember! You are talking about that person!"
The girl hurriedly interjected: "The man's eyes were yellow, and his hair and teeth were all gone. I was shocked when I saw him. I had never seen such a person before."
I suppressed my inner emotions.
I don’t need to say who these two people are. I searched for more than a month and asked countless people, and finally got the accurate information here.
The old man took a sip of water, frowned and continued: "The man standing said that the person in the wheelchair was his brother, who was bitten by a four-legged snake and became like this. He asked me if there was any way to help treat him."
"What happened next?" I asked nervously.
The old man shook his head: "Although our Xiangting Snake House has a good reputation and is good at treating various snake wounds, this is different. Aren't the four-legged snakes just the kind of skinks that crawl around? How can they change people if they are not poisonous?
Be like that.”
"Later I said it couldn't be cured. I had never seen anything like this before. The man looked a little disappointed and walked away in a wheelchair."
