Twenty years ago, the Xiangting Snake House was very famous in Nanping. I went down the mountain and took a taxi and arrived at the place around 12 o'clock at night.
There was a light bulb on at the door of the snake house. Under the night, the three-story building looked antique and unchanged.
"Is anyone home?"
I stepped forward and knocked gently.
"It's so late, who are you looking for?"
After waiting for five or six minutes, a tough-looking black boy wearing clothes opened the door for me.
"Haha, little brother, your name is Changchong? Right." I laughed.
"Who are you.....?"
"It seems you don't remember me. It doesn't matter. I came to see the snake girl. She came here in the afternoon to ask for some medicinal materials. As a result, no one believes her yet."
"Oh, so that's it. We're looking for the snake girl. She's going to the mountain with my grandfather. Come in and sit down. It's cold outside."
After entering, I felt that the room was extremely hot, just like summer.
Changchong politely poured me a cup of tea. At this time, he sat down and said to me: "That medicine is deep in the mountains, and it can only be caught at night. They should be back soon."
"What kind of medicine is so mysterious? A living thing?" I asked.
The long insect nodded: "It's an edible insect. It's very rare. It's called the Phnom Penh beetle. This kind of insect can only be caught at night."
He looked at me and said: "We all say here that a 10-year-old Phnom Penh worm is as effective as a 50-year-old wild ginseng. Brother, you are a snake girlfriend, so you should know, right? Snake Girl
Who are you asking for medicine for? Which 80-year-old man?"
"I'm not sure about this," I said carelessly.
"Changchong! Who are you talking to so late!"
I turned around and saw a young woman with a ponytail coming down the stairs.
When she saw me, she screamed "Ah"! She immediately covered her face and ran upstairs.
The black boy suddenly said helplessly: "Sister, grandpa has told you several times, please pay attention to your image! You must wear good clothes at home! Wear good clothes! Just in case there are guests!"
"I'm sorry for making you laugh. My sister is like this. She is used to being careless."
I smiled and said it was okay, I was at home, that was understandable.
I looked at my phone and saw that it was already one o'clock at night.
Soon, the girl got dressed and came down again. I remember her name was Xiao Changying. The girl wanted to scare me with a snake.
"It's you!"
"I still remember you! What's your name...? What's your name? Feng Lailai?"
"My name is Xiang Feng, hello Miss Xiao."
"Yes! Your name is Xiang Feng! Aren't you from the north? Why are you here in Nanping again?"
"I'm here to do some personal business. I haven't seen you for a long time. Miss Xiao, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Her face turned red and she said there was no such thing.
We are both young people, there is no generation gap, we can chat together, and soon we get to know each other a lot. I felt it was very hot here, so I took off my coat and threw it on the chair.
But at this moment, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and accidentally saw an iron rod more than one meter high standing in the corner of the wall.
I was stunned at this moment.
I am so familiar with this thing that I will recognize it even if it turns into ashes!
Isn’t this the successor to the Luoyang Shovel? Why is there a Luoyang Shovel in Snake House!
Moreover, this kind of connecting pole has one end slightly thicker and one end slightly thinner, and there are two pieces of cloth wrapped around the handshake area. This is obviously what the northerners use, and my shovel is also in this style!
I calmly took a sip of tea and asked casually: "What is your pole used for?"
"You said that, that one belongs to grandpa..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Changying immediately scolded: "Changchong! Why do you dare to say anything nonsense!"
The long insect glanced at me secretly and immediately closed his mouth.
