The next day, Monday.
The two professors discussed it and decided to postpone the inspection of Yingzui.
Because they found that if they want to climb to the top now, a lot of preparation work has not been done yet.
The eagle's mouth is still very dangerous from the scene. Although I didn't go up there, looking up from below, I can imagine the force of the wind and the fear of people walking on it. Especially for that gap, at least one support bar or safety line must be fixed. Otherwise, you will be shattered if you fall.
The other thing is catching snakes. The top of the Eagle's Mouth is no larger than two rooms. If safety measures are not prepared, it will be very dangerous.
So far, everyone has listened to what Wang Ke and Gu Maolin are talking about. No one, including venomous snake expert Dr. Xiao Zhang, has ever seen a golden cobra.
What are the living habits of the golden cobra? Now that it's fall, will they come out? If it comes out, how will it be captured? At first, Dr. Xiao Zhang and Professor Ye Rongguang decided to capture it with bare hands or with a mask, but when they looked up from the cliff at the Eagle's Mouth, they were naive. At the top of the nearly 100-meter-high projectile, there was not even a place to move. It was not easy to catch such a big golden cobra.
At the same time, what if two golden cobras come out at once? Will there be a third article? No one can tell.
And how big does the cage for the snake need to be? How to carry it up? After catching it, should I send it back immediately by car, or should I keep it here and continue the investigation? These all require planning.
"Wang Ke, how big is the area on top of the eagle's beak? And how big are the two snakes you saw? Do they have any pattern of movement? Today you and Xiaogu will tell us in detail." Professor Ye Rongguang said. After breakfast, Wang Ke and Gu Maolin were called into the room to have another meeting.
Until now, Wang Ke didn't know the content of this inspection. Professor Ye Rongguang wanted to catch a snake back, preferably two. "Uncle Ye, I think you should not go through that gap. It will be safer this way. If there are too many people going up, it will be too late to run away."
"Well, what if Dr. Zhang goes up alone?"
"Teacher Zhang alone?" Gu Maolin immediately shook his head after hearing this. Because facing two golden cobras, anyone would be at a loss for what to do and it would be impossible to escape.
"Maolin, what's your opinion?" Wang Ke shook his head when he saw this. If you don't understand snake language, you can't know what the golden cobra is thinking? In such a big place, even the space and time to maneuver cannot be guaranteed.
"Platoon leader, it's better for us to go up. Everyone else is waiting at the gap. The poisonous snake can't even crawl through the gap and attack us, right?"
"Wait a minute, Wang Ke, think about it, is it possible for us to catch one?" Professor Ye Rongguang realized the complexity of the problem when he saw that Wang Ke and Gu Maolin insisted not to let venomous snake expert Dr. Xiao Zhang go with them. Shi could only speak directly and seek the opinions of the two warriors.
"What? Catching a live snake?" Gu Maolin's eyes widened. This was undoubtedly a whim. Faced with two cobras, if you catch any one, will the other one remain indifferent?
Professor Ye Rongguang nodded.
"Teacher Ye, this is impossible." Gu Maolin still mustered up the courage to say it. This is not taking a risk, it is risking his life.
"Why is it impossible?" Ye Rongguang asked. He thought Gu Maolin was just afraid of difficulties and didn't know Dr. Xiao Zhang's ability. Dr. Xiao Zhang had an internship in a venomous snake farm and was used to catching snakes with his bare hands.
"This is at the top of the mountain. The two venomous snakes have become sperm and seem to have become human." Gu Maolin did not hide it. He had seen it once. He had tried to communicate with words, but the two venomous snakes did not respond at all. .
"Haha, Xiaogu, you are overthinking." Professor Ye Rongguang still disagreed.
"Uncle Ye, on this issue, I hope you will listen to Gu Maolin." As the person involved, Wang Ke had to speak at this time. He could not say that Gu Maolin understood snake language, but this statement was tantamount to denying the plan in disguise.
"Xiao Wang Ke, you and Xiao Gu both said that catching snakes is not possible, so there must be a reason, right?" Professor Wen heard that there was something in the two little soldiers' words, but they both heard one part and didn't know the other.
"Daddy Wen, it's really not possible. If we insist on arresting him, we will definitely be in danger." Wang Ke looked at Professor Wen. He still insisted on his opinion.
"Teacher Wen, I support the platoon leader's opinion." Gu Maolin stood up and picked up a kettle to make tea.
The tea provided by Captain Wang of the Interference Group was okay, jasmine tea. The teapot I bought yesterday is also very interesting. It comes with four small teacups. At the end of this inspection, this tea set will be left to Uncle Geng, which is also a kind of gratitude.
Gu Maolin made tea and poured a cup for everyone. He and Wang Ke already had teacups, so everyone no longer had to use bowls to drink water.
The person who caught the snake was eager to try, but the people accompanying him all retreated. This put Professor Ye Rongguang in a dilemma. He looked at Professor Wen and hoped that he would help him.
Professor Wen didn't want to help, but when he saw the two young soldiers being so determined, he knew there must be a reason. "Lao Ye, let's drink tea first. This tea has a bit of flavor, and this teapot is also very convenient."
Professor Ye Rongguang opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Professor Wen winking at him, he swallowed his words back. It seems that this matter cannot be rushed.
The six people drank tea quietly for a while, and Dr. Xiao Zhang was a little anxious. Wang Ke and Gu Maolin objected to catching live snakes, which was equivalent to denying his ability. "Platoon leader Wang Ke, you mean we can't catch these two snakes."
It’s not that you can’t catch it, it’s that you can’t catch it at all. Wang Ke looked up at Dr. Xiao Zhang, a poisonous snake expert, and then opened his mouth. "Teacher Xiao Zhang, how should we catch him?"
"Is it okay to use bare hands or a mask?" Dr. Xiao Zhang thought Wang Ke was a little loose and hurriedly explained.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ke continued to shake, "This is definitely not possible. The snake head is as big as a bowl, nearly three meters long, and can swallow an eagle weighing five or six pounds at a time. You can't catch it with one hand, so how can you subdue it?" In other words, this huge female snake may weigh dozens of kilograms. If it becomes powerful, it may throw people off the cliff.
"You mean we can't catch anyone?"
"Yes! Not to mention there is another snake." Seeing that Dr. Xiao Zhang had not yet woken up, Wang Ke added: "Do you know the name of the road we take to Eagle's Mouth? It's called Daofeng. It goes from the elephant's legs all the way down. Extending, the north side is completely cut like a knife. There is no road at all, only some jujube bushes. It is more than a hundred meters high, and the shortest place is fifty or sixty meters."
"Platoon Leader Wang Ke, what do you want to say?"
"What I mean is, if we can all walk over from Daofeng, let's talk about catching snakes." Wang Ke did not continue. The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun was definitely more courageous than the doctor Xiao Zhang. As a result, the old platoon leader Platoon leader Hu Zhijun gave up climbing more than halfway to the summit. If Dr. Zhang continued to boast and insisted on catching snakes with an eagle's mouth, would he mislead the two professors?
"Platoon leader Wang Ke, if we hadn't passed Daofeng, we wouldn't have been able to catch these two snakes?"
"Teacher Zhang, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that this is different from flat land. This is a cliff. There are many special situations on a cliff."
The two of them started to argue, but Wang Ke was determined. No matter what you think, you must not take risks. We have no chance of trial and error.
"Well, I think what Brother Bing said makes sense. We just looked under the eagle's mouth and found a lot of problems. We haven't walked on Daofeng yet. I also suggest that we conduct an on-site inspection before deciding on our plan. ." It was just the right time for Ye Qianqian to step forward. Seeing that Wang Ke and Gu Maolin could not convince her father, she spoke up.
Professor Wen was originally brought in to help temporarily. And Ye Qianqian came here purely because she wanted to see Wang Ke, and since she knew how to take pictures, there was no problem in coming here for a few days. But when she arrived at Longquanzhuang, this girl changed her direction. Instead of coming to help, she just sat on Wang Ke's side, which was a disservice!
Professor Ye Rongguang rolled his eyes and looked at his daughter, but could not refute. He thought for a moment and realized what his daughter said made sense. "Then let's see it on the ground and then talk about it."
The meeting broke up unhappily, and Dr. Xiao Zhang, a venomous snake expert, was furious. He has caught countless snakes and has never failed. This is the first time he has been mistrusted.
Professor Ye Rongguang also felt that he was losing face. The two young warriors unexpectedly rejected their carefully crafted plan in unison, and insisted on going to Daofeng first. The cliff is a bit steeper, but there should be no problem if someone walks by it. Is this also the reason why snakes cannot be caught? It's ridiculous.
Professor Wen decided to talk to Wang Ke. What was the reason that made Wang Ke so stubborn?
Only Ye was heartless. As soon as the meeting ended, he immediately grabbed Wang Ke and asked him for the five-finger peach.
"Teacher Xiaoye, what do you want that thing for?"
"Soak in water and drink. I have been in Xishan for a long time, so my body must be very damp, and my joints are also feeling a little uncomfortable."
"Okay, I'll give it all to you. I'll ask Uncle Geng for some more for you." Wang Ke said, taking out the five-finger peaches from his bag, and then going to find Uncle Geng again.
After leaving the door of the west wing, Wang Ke was grabbed by Ye Qianqian. "You are such an idiot. I asked you to come out. Didn't you see that my father and Senior Brother Zhang were as angry as toads?"
"No, I will still be angry over this matter. The road will be uneven and the reason will not be clear."
"Are you stupid? Come on, take a walk with me."
Wang Ke really didn't want to go out, but he couldn't resist Ye Qianpian, "Then wait a moment, I'll call Gu Maolin."
"Why are you calling him?" Ye Qiang grabbed Wang Ke's arm and dragged him out of the yard.
"Okay, Teacher Xiao Ye, please let go of your hand and let others see it. I can't tell clearly." Wang Ke shook off Ye Xianqian's hand, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard one after another.
Behind him, at the door of the west wing, stood Professor Wen. Looking at the backs of the two of them, he shook his head and walked back to the room.
"Teacher Xiaoye, where are we going?"
"Well, come with me to the cemetery for a walk."
The two of them went west, and Wang Ke suddenly discovered that the old salesman who had been squatting there for several days under the three white poplar trees opposite him did not come today. Of course, the group went to Chongling yesterday and did not know whether he came or not. , but I definitely didn’t come today. Do you regret it more and more as you think about it? It hurts to buy that lamp for fifteen yuan?
"Brother Bing, what are you looking at?"
"I was looking at that old salesman, why didn't he come today?"
"Isn't that normal? He always hangs out at the entrance of this village. If there is no business, he will definitely have to move to another place."
"No, by the way, I always thought that this person was spying on us. Why did he suddenly withdraw?" Wang Ke explained, his suspicion had not stopped for a day or two.
"What kind of surveillance do we have? Just leave when you have to. Brother Bing, stop being suspicious and think about how to end it?"
"What kind of ending?"
"Today's argument? Aren't you afraid that my father will have opinions about you?" Ye Qian tilted her head and said, she was more thoughtful than Wang Ke.
"No way, Uncle Ye won't be angry because of such a trivial matter. I think he will change his mind once he reaches the elephant's legs and walks on the knife peak." Wang Ke has a big heart, and he believes that the plan is not as good as a change. Quick, as soon as you go to the scene, everyone's mind will change.
