It seems that he has never heard of such snakes in the memory of his previous life, but Viper knows about it. The naming of Viper has a textbook feel, which is somewhat different from the way he remembers the names of snakes in ancient China. Although this snow-white
Judging from the snake's head, the little snake is indeed a viper species. However, I learned from an ancient person that Xia Shang's first feeling was that something was amiss.
Because ancient Chinese people named snakes with pictographic names such as golden krait, green bamboo snake, silver spear head, etc. The viper belongs to the way of naming, which should be more scientific and post-modern. Why did Yu Ji say it is
Snow Viper, where did such a formal name come from?
Xia Shang didn't think much about it, but Yu Ji had already frowned and was lost in thought: "Why do snow vipers appear here?"
"It's really strange that snakes appear in winter. Why do they appear under my clothes? And what exactly is this snow viper? What about the twelve zodiac totem beasts you mentioned?"
Xia Shang had many questions.
Yu Ji pondered for a long time, and then she explained to Xia Shang one by one: "Snow vipers are a kind of sacred creature believed by foreign people. They are different from all snakes. They are active in winter and breed in spring.
In the summer, it will wither and live for only half a year. However, its breeding ability is extremely strong, it is extremely aggressive, and it is highly poisonous, and ordinary people will die if it touches it. When the Metropolitan Procuratorate established the Chunfang Division, some people used this
Snakes were introduced to the Central Plains and raised as killing tools, and were listed as the totem of the Chunfang Division.
It was just that the seniors of Harunfang Division didn't keep them for long before they discovered that snow vipers were extremely difficult to control and reproduced too fast. They once caused a snake disaster in a small county outside the capital. They were attacked by snow vipers and died that year.
There are 30,000 people in the country, and it has become a secret in the world. Snow vipers have also been listed as prohibited items by the imperial court and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. No one is allowed to raise snow vipers privately according to the ancient method. Up to now, it has been nearly fifty years.
I’ve seen this kind of snake before.”
Xia Shang was quite surprised. Unconsciously, he gradually frowned and lowered his voice: "So, this snow viper may have been raised privately?"
Yu Ji nodded, then shook her head: "It's possible, but it's hard to believe. Because from the Tantric records I've seen, the method of raising and controlling snow vipers privately is wrong. No one can raise and control snow vipers privately.
Control the Snow Viper."
"Then if it was raised by someone, how could this snow viper sneak out quietly?"
"This is impossible. If this snow viper was not under human control, it would have already launched an attack when it was in the master's sleeve, and it was not waiting for an opportunity."
"It seems that someone is really causing trouble in secret!" Xia Shang also frowned a little, "Then how did you find out that there is a snake in my sleeve?"
"My subordinate has been practicing medicine for many years and is very sensitive to smells. This kind of snow viper can be used as medicine and has a very unique smell. I just noticed it for a moment and had doubts, so I tried it with a handful of musk ash.
Snakes can't stand the smell of musk, so they show their bodies."
"You mean this snake has been hiding on me for a long time?"
"Based on my subordinates' experience, I'm afraid this is the case."
"Then where did this snake come from? Why is it hiding in my clothes?"
"I don't know where it came from, but if it is hidden in your clothes like this, you should be very vigilant. Maybe the purpose of the person controlling the device is to monitor your whereabouts."
Xia Shang thought the same way, and felt a little more worried.
This piece of clothing was worn by me in the morning. If I were to say where this snake came from, it was probably at home.
Yu Ji was surprised and said that all snow vipers with strong abilities are active in winter and move in groups.
If this snake was brought from home, it is very likely that there are many such snakes hidden in the home.
This is a huge hidden danger!
Xia Shang quickly said to Yu Ji: "Can you find these snakes?"
"I can't guarantee it, I can only give it a try."
"Okay, you can come with me right now to see if there are any snakes like this in Hero Village."
Yu Ji nodded, and the two set off immediately.
Soon, two carriages set off from the gate of Baozhilin and headed for Yingxiongzhuang.
Xia Shang and Yu Ji were in two separate cars. Xia Shang seemed a little anxious in the car because this matter had threatened the people around him. And this time the threat was not a human being, but an emotionless and unpredictable snake. Deal with it
Xia Shang was still confident, but he had no way to deal with these snakes. So on the way home, Xia Shang was so nervous that his hands were sweating.
Xiaoyue felt the changes in the young master at the side and was a little worried. She asked in a low voice: "Master, what happened?"
Xia Shang was silent and did not answer. Xiao Yue did not dare to ask any more questions and just sat aside obediently, but she felt a little more sad in her heart.
The one-hour drive took only half an hour because Xia Shang was urging me all the way.
When the two carriages arrived at the gate of Hero Manor, Xia Shang rushed forward with a single stride, surprising the servants guarding the gate.
"Master..."
"Call everyone here!"
He said a few words and then went inside.
The two servants were still a little confused. When they saw Xiaoyue coming after them, they quickly went up and asked: "Sister Xiaoyue, what is going on?"
Xiaoyue was equally upset, waved her hands impatiently, and shouted: "Just do as the young master said."
Xia Shang rushed anxiously to the small courtyard where his family lived. What he was most worried about was the child in Qin Huairou's belly.
It wasn't until I ran to the courtyard and saw Qin Huairou and everyone in the house talking and laughing that I felt relieved.
He opened the door and asked, "Are you all okay?"
No one expected that Xia Shang would come back suddenly. Several people in the room were still eating. Qin Huairou, Xia Xinyi, and Liu Ruyan were all looking at Xia Shang eagerly. Seeing that Xia Shang's expression was excited, he was a little confused.
Xia Shang felt relieved when he saw that the three women were still fine. Then he saw that there was a small stove on the table around them, with a shabu-shabu pot burning on it. He didn't know what was cooking in it, and the aroma.
Tangy.
"Ms. sir, why are you back?"
As soon as Qin Huairou finished speaking, Xiaoyue rushed into the room, panting and having no time to speak.
Xiaoyue grimaced: "Xiaoyue doesn't know that the young master suddenly wants to come back in a hurry. Hey, no, no, no, it's like me. Madam, can I have a sip of water?"
Qin Huairou frowned and handed Xiaoyue a bowl of soup.
Xiaoyue took a few sips, licked her mouth after eating, and her eyes lit up: "Madam, what kind of soup is this? Why is it so delicious?"
Qin Huairou smiled slightly: "This is soup, not soup, it is fresh snake soup."
"What? Snake, snake, snake...snake soup!"
As soon as Xiaoyue heard the word "snake", her face turned pale with fright. She looked at the bowl with a little bit of soup left, as if she had encountered a monster. She let go of her hands and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered. (To be continued)
