, wonderful and free of pop-ups! After barely suppressing the commotion of the others, Chang Geng turned his attention to Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, how about we move somewhere else?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the tent that had been set up and the hanging pot hung over there.
Then he looked up at the gradually falling dusk.
At this time, it would be too troublesome to change places.
"Don't rush to move. Let's go over and see what's going on. Don't forget, we brought a lot of realgar powder with us!" she said.
After saying these words, she strode forward.
Everyone behind him suddenly realized.
Yes, there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains right now. Before going out, Qing'er prepared a lot of realgar powder to take with her.
Just to drive away these things while sleeping outdoors at night.
Moreover, according to the old man's opinion, realgar powder can also drive away evil spirits and ward off evil.
Spend the night in the mountains, and no dirty things will come near you.
Everyone's mood became calmer again, and they quickly took the realgar powder and followed Yang Ruoqing towards the place where the snake's nest was found.
Li Dayer led the way.
Soon, he took Yang Ruoqing to a stream.
After experiencing the initial moment of panic, Li Daer calmed down.
Entrusted with the important task of transportation by his employer's girl, he still hopes to have a good career, support his family and let his wife live a good life.
How could one be frightened by a mere nest of snakes?
He was ashamed of his previous panic.
"Look, boss, the snakes are right in front!"
Li Daer pointed to the things entwined on the grass in front of him and said to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing glanced over.
This sweep also shocked her.
There are so many!
These snakes, all green with black patterns, are entangled in groups.
entangled in the grass, hanging on the treetops...
From time to time there was a small hissing sound.
People were stunned to see it and horrified to hear it.
Behind them, the little guys who had just regained a little bit of composure suddenly panicked again.
Even Chang Geng Daniel’s expression changed.
"It has been passed down from generation to generation that the more beautiful the snake, the more poisonous it is!"
"These snakes look colorful and colorful. I have never seen them before. They must be poisonous snakes!" Chang Geng said in a trembling voice.
Everyone else was speechless.
Or they don’t dare to speak, for fear of disturbing them.
"Qing'er, let's give in and find another place..." Chang Geng advised again.
Daniel also took a breath: "Chang Geng is right, Qing'er, our lives are at stake."
Yang Ruoqing has been sizing up the snakes in front of her.
These snakes look so colorful and scary.
actually not.
Their scientific name is 'Black-browed Elephant Snake'.
In her last life, she went on a mission somewhere on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and saw this kind of snake.
Locally, it is called 'cauliflower snake'.
It is a large non-venomous snake.
In its previous life, it was listed on the country’s list of protected species of rare animals.
They are not allowed to be hunted casually.
However, in this ancient time, haha...
The words of the two uncles brought her thoughts back.
She turned her head and smiled at the frightened uncles and eldest brothers behind her.
"Not only do we not have to move the land tonight, but we also have a feast of snake soup!" she said.
"What?"
Her words made everyone even more shocked.
"I've seen this snake before, it's not poisonous!" she added.
"This kind of snake is called a cauliflower snake. This season is their mating season, so they stay here in droves."
She patiently explained to everyone.
Everyone was dubious about her words.
"Uncle Chang Geng, give me the realgar powder."
The realgar powder soon arrived in Yang Ruoqing's hands.
She rolled up her sleeves, put her hands in them, and applied some realgar powder to her hands.
Then he broke off a long branch from a big tree nearby and made several gestures in his hand.
Seeing her like this, Chang Geng asked nervously: "Qing'er, what are you going to do?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Catch the snake!"
"What?"
Chang Geng was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
The man grabbed her arm and said, "Even if it's not poisonous, that big snake is very powerful. You, a girl, can't do that!"
Yang Ruoqing saw the man's concern in her eyes.
She smiled and pulled her hand away.
"Uncle Chang Geng doesn't trust me when I do things? I have a sense of propriety."
Then, she turned to the others and said:
"Don't go there. I'll get the biggest snake over there first. We'll eat it at night!"
Everyone followed the tree fork in her hand and looked in that direction.
Good guy!
A big snake was coiled on a big rock by the stream.
He was swallowing the core, like a superior snake king, looking down at his people entwining, mating, and giving birth to the next generation of the snake clan...
Chang Geng and Daniu tried to dissuade him again, but it was already too late.
Because Yang Ruoqing has already entered the territory of the snake group over there.
Everyone held their breath and followed her figure with their eyes...
There were snakes everywhere on the ground, and there was nowhere to go.
An ordinary person would feel numb when seeing this scene.
Yang Ruoqing is not an ordinary person.
As if dancing a ballet, she shuttled dexterously around these snakes.
The snakes couldn't even touch a piece of her clothes.
When she passed through the snakes and approached the big rock, her steps suddenly slowed down again.
Catching snakes, she often did.
I have already figured out a set of ideas.
Walk slowly and lightly, have sharp eyesight and quick hands, be bold and careful, and move steadily.
If you use these twelve words of motto skillfully, there is no snake that cannot be caught.
Here, all the men stared at her figure, and they all broke into a cold sweat.
When she lurked near the largest snake with extremely slow steps, she suddenly raised her arm.
The speed was so fast that they didn't even see clearly how the wooden stick was thrust out. In the next moment, the big snake's neck was stuck on the stone with the fork under the wooden stick and could not be lifted up.
At the same time, she stretched out her hand stained with realgar powder.
Pinch the sides of the snake's neck with one hand, and grab the back half of the snake's body with the other hand.
Pick it up and shake it again and again.
It's like an iron ring is wrapped around the arm.
"Haha, this snake is so heavy, I will be happy to eat it later!"
When she returned here with the big snake, the men recovered from the shock.
"Qing'er, you are so awesome, Uncle Chang Geng is convinced!"
Chang Geng, who saw the whole process clearly, was so excited that his mouth almost tilted to one side.
Others also gathered around, curiously looking at the snake in her hand.
Chang Geng was excited but hesitated and asked: "Is this snake meat really edible? Is it not poisonous?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled. She knew the explanation of language, but she was always a little pale.
She was deciding whether to let the snake bite her.
Li Dayer rushed to say: "Is it poisonous? Isn't it simple? I'll find out if I catch a bird over there and try it!"
After saying these words, Li Dayer left without hesitation.
After a while, I actually caught a chirping sparrow and came over.
He put the sparrow to the snake's mouth and let the snake bite the sparrow.
