At the entrance of Dongshan Town Primary School, seeing that everyone was talking on the side of the road, Principal Rao was a little anxious.

There were so many strange things happening in this day, especially several people being bitten by snakes, which inevitably made Principal Rao a little vigilant.

After all, there are many primary school students in Dongshan Town, and if a school child is bitten by a snake, it is inevitable that the principal will feel distressed.

In a responsible manner, Principal Rao still inquired with everyone: "Where did you hear all this? Is the news accurate?"

"To be precise, the central health center has admitted several snake bites today. ”

"Yes, I was walking on the side of the road in the morning, and there was a snake coiled by the tree, which almost scared me to death. ”

"Yes, I don't know what's wrong with this today, I feel that the number of wild snakes on our side has suddenly increased, and some of them are bold, and they have begun to go to catch snakes near the park. ”

"Is it near the central park of Dongshan Town?" asked Gu Chen.

A tall and thin middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, Dongshan Town Center Park has been built along the river, backed by the mountains, maybe those snakes came down from the mountains, right?"

"Is it the abnormal climate? Or is it the destruction of the ecology?" Lu Weiwei said thoughtfully, but also unconsciously: "But, I feel that the weather in Jiangnan City is normal, so how can these snakes suddenly infest?"

Officer Wang had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly asked the crowd: "Is there a snake farm around here? Could it be that it escaped from the snake farm?"

"No, we haven't heard of any snake farms in Dongshan Town, it's unheard of. A white-haired old man said.

"That's weird. Principal Rao crossed his waist, and after thinking left and right, he also looked at Gu Chen unconsciously.

After thinking for a while, Gu Chen asked the white-haired old man, "Do you still know where the aunt was bitten just now?"

"Know, it's by the creek in the park. The white-haired old man said.

Gu Chen stretched out his hand and said, "Can you take me over to have a look?"

"Of course, come with me. Seeing that the police were going to find out, the old man who had nothing to do was enthusiastic, and took the initiative to lead Gu Chen the way.

Seeing that Gu Chen did not mean to leave Dongshan Town and return to the city, the beauty teaching director hurriedly said, "Officer Gu, then you won't go back to the city?"

"I'm not going back for the time being. Gu Chen said as he walked.

The female dean asked again, "Will that delay your work?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "Where the people are in need, there are us, and this is also the job of our police." ”

"Oh, that's right. The female dean also wanted to follow and have a look, but she still had work in her hands, so she could only stand at the school gate and say goodbye to Gu Chen: "Then Officer Gu, come back next time." ”

Seeing Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, and Yuan Shasha's backs getting farther and farther away, the female teaching director sighed and walked towards the campus with a broken mouth: "Gu Chen, single, or the leader of the criminal investigation team?"

"What are you muttering?" asked Principal Rao on the side.

The female dean said, "No...... It's nothing, do you feel that the current police recruitment standards have such high requirements for appearance?"

"Yes, you see how beautiful those two little policewomen are, I feel that they should have entered the police force in the beauty pageant. Principal Rao also carried his hands on his back, reminiscing while walking.

The female teaching director who followed behind was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart, Are you in the same straight line as me in terms of my views on appearance?

But think about it, the female director has also seen a lot of police, but today's criminal investigation group 3 has given her a new understanding of the image of the police.

It is estimated that the appearance of the three criminal investigation groups should beat most of their peers, right?

On the other side, Gu Chen followed the old man all the way to the periphery of Dongshan Town Center Park.

At this moment, several old men were chatting around about something, and the old man who led the way hurriedly took a few steps forward and also leaned over to find out.

"Yo, you've got snakes again?"

"Isn't it? This snake had just bitten someone. ”

"Hurt someone again? Didn't you just bite one just now?"

"I don't know, anyway, there are a lot of strange things today, there are everywhere near the park, it is recommended that you don't come here to wander around these days, especially this dense flower path, maybe there are snakes in it." ”

Seeing a few old men talking happily, it seems that snakes are infested, and it has no effect on everyone at all.

It was the flower snake in the hands of one of the old men, which seemed to be able to be taken home to make wine and drink, so he was excited.

Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, is your snake poisonous?"

"This snake is not poisonous. The old man also showed off in his hands.

At this moment, Gu Chen found that not far away, a middle-aged man was treating the wounds of an old lady, so Gu Chen hurriedly stepped forward to understand the situation.

I saw the middle-aged man comforting the scared old lady while skillfully handling the wound.

"Auntie, after being bitten by a snake, the best way to deal with it is to sterilize, cleanse and detoxify. ”

"Ligature?" the old lady felt panicked when she heard these two words.

The middle-aged man lifted his glasses, and then said with a smile: "The ligation I am talking about is not what you think, it refers to the ligation of more than 1 joint above the wound quickly after being bitten by a snake, and it is best to complete it within 5 minutes." ”

"However, the ligation time should not exceed 2 hours, and if it exceeds 2 hours, it should be released for 5 minutes and then ligated again. ”

"Oooh. The old lady was a little afraid of death, so she quickly listened carefully, and asked, "Then how to deal with this wound?"

"Clean. "There is a small medicine box next to the middle-aged man, and it seems that there are all kinds of medicines in it.

He looked at the old lady and said, "This kind of cleaning refers to cleaning the wound with water, soapy water or cold salt water after ligation. ”

"But if you are bitten by a venomous snake, you should also pay attention to detoxification, which means picking up the wound after cleaning, and picking multiple places around the wound, and then squeezing it from top to bottom in the direction of the wound for 20 minutes to let the venom drain. ”

Seeing that the old lady was panicked, the middle-aged man suddenly smiled and said, "But you don't have to be afraid, the snake that bit you is not poisonous." ”

"It's good that it's not poisonous, so what if it's poisonous?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Seeing that someone around him was asking questions, the middle-aged man did not look up, but continued to clean the old lady's wounds, but just said casually:

"If you are bitten by a venomous snake, it can only be treated simply on the spot, and after treatment, the patient should be taken to the hospital quickly, and it is best to note the species of venomous snake. ”

"You know a lot. When Gu Chen heard the middle-aged man's words, he felt that this person was quite professional.

After the middle-aged man briefly treated the old lady's wound, he stood up and said, "Okay, it's generally fine, if you don't feel at ease, you can also go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and wipe it yourself, it's not a big problem." ”

"Thank you. The old lady was very grateful, and with the support of another old lady, she barely stood up and moved her whole body.

At this moment, the middle-aged man put away the small medicine box, and when he turned around, he saw four policemen standing beside him, as well as a group of old men watching the excitement.

"Yo, comrade policeman?"

"Hello. Gu Chen nodded slightly to him and asked, "Are you the doctor here?"

"It's not. The man smiled and lifted his glasses, and then said: "I am an attending doctor in the Department of Anesthesiology of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan Medical College, and I am just at the end of my vacation today, and I am going to go back to work in the city." ”

"But while waiting for the bus here, I heard that someone had been bitten by a snake, so I came over to take a look. ”

"That's thanks to you. Yuan Shasha couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

The middle-aged male doctor scratched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a gesture, but I heard that there is more than one person who was bitten by a snake today." ”

"Yes. When the old man who led Gu Chen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Just before, there was another person who was bitten, and he was just sent to the central health center not long ago. ”

"That's weird. The middle-aged male doctor frowned, and said unconsciously: "I have lived in Dongshan Town for so many years, and I have never seen so many people bitten by snakes in one day, what is going on?"

Gu Chen turned his head and asked several bystanders beside him, "Have all the people who were bitten by snakes ever been in this area?"

"yes, it's along both sides of the river, it seems like a lot. An old man who watched the excitement said.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and then said to Officer Wang beside him, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

A few people walked down the steps, preparing to go along the side of the river in the direction of the mountain forest to see what was going on here.

But just when Gu Chen led the team to the front, when he turned his head to take a look, he found that Lu Weiwei had fallen a long distance at the back, which made Gu Chen a little puzzled.

Usually no matter where she goes, Lu Weiwei always follows her, but what's wrong today?

Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and asked Lu Weiwei directly: "Senior Sister Lu, hurry up." ”

"Oh. Lu Weiwei looked left and right, and then cautiously quickened her pace and chased directly behind Gu Chen.

"What's wrong with you today?" Gu Chen was curious for a moment.

Lu Weiwei blushed and said, "I...... I'm afraid of snakes. ”

"Are you afraid of snakes?" When Officer Wang heard this, he immediately laughed: "I said Lu Weiwei, you are such a fierce woman, you are afraid of snakes? Haha, don't laugh me to death." ”

"What's so funny?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say when she saw Comrade Wang gloating: "I've been afraid of that kind of slippery creature since I was a child, what kind of snake, yellow eel, I feel that I can't catch it, and it's easy to bite, I ...... I'm really scared of this kind of thing. ”

"Then I didn't see you scared when you ate it. Officer Wang said.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly: "But when have you ever seen me eat snakes, yellow eels or something?"

Officer Wang raised his cheeks and thought about it, and then he couldn't help but say: "It seems that there is none, but no one is afraid of Xiao Yuan, why are you afraid?"

"Isn't Xiao Yuan afraid of snakes?" Lu Weiwei asked weakly.

Yuan Shasha shook her head: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Okay. Lu Weiwei was embarrassed for a while.

is usually used to being a fierce girl, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but now she has become the most afraid of snakes in the group, Lu Weiwei instantly felt weak.

At least became the weak chicken in the group, Lu Weiwei looked ashamed and couldn't help pursing her mouth.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, if Senior Sister Lu feels scared, just follow me, pay attention to the situation on the left and right sides of your feet, the snake sometimes hides in the grass, if you disturb it, it may bite you." ”

"Uh, good...... All right. When Lu Weiwei heard this, she suddenly became even more nervous.

Originally, I wanted to say that I would not go, but after all, it was a collective action, and if I didn't dare to go this time, I might be ridiculed by Comrade Wang for several months.

This is a matter of her own dignity, so Lu Weiwei hurriedly walked to a small tree, broke off a branch about one meter long, and then said, "Let's go." ”

"Good. Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued to walk in the front row.

During this period, everyone paid close attention to the movements around them.

Dongshan Town Center Park is built along the river, and the source of the river is a small reservoir in a nearby mountain.

But Gu Chen didn't want to come here to catch snakes, but wanted to understand the specific situation here and whether it was consistent with what everyone said.

The lawns on both sides of the river in Hesitation Park are rarely tended and are therefore overgrown with weeds, with plants and trees up to more than half a meter high.

In this environment, it is quite possible to hide snakes.

"Look. After walking a little half a mile, the alert Lu Weiwei soon found a small green snake coiled on the bank of the river.

The little green snake stood in front of the road, and also spotted the human approaching.

The four of them looked at each other, and both sides stopped moving.

Seeing this, the little green snake also stuck out its tongue, and then quickly jumped into the water from the shore with a "poof", and then swam along the river to the opposite bank.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly patted her towering chest, and said with relief: "Fortunately, I found it early, and there are snakes everywhere." ”

"This place is so weird. Gu Chen also shook his head, and said thoughtfully: "It stands to reason that there shouldn't be enough food here to attract snakes to gather, right?, but why did these snakes suddenly appear in Dongshan Town, and bite so many people?"

"What the hell is going on?" Officer Wang crossed his waist and watched left and right.

But at this time, he found a small wooden boat flowing down the river not far away.

Officer Wang hurriedly patted Gu Chen and pointed to the boat in front of him.

Everyone looked into the distance, and it wasn't until the small wooden boat rowed in front of everyone that Gu Chen realized that it was a middle-aged man.

He was wearing a straw hat and a few fishing rods, so Gu Chen asked him, "Are you fishing here?"

"yes, it's fishing in this river or something. The middle-aged man said.

"Then have you noticed any traces of snakes around?" Gu Chen asked again.

The middle-aged man in the straw hat smiled, and then picked up a few small snakes that had been disemboweled, and asked, "Is this what you are talking about?"

"Huh. Lu Weiwei felt sick and quickly hid behind Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "So you have already foreseen it?"

"yes, it's weird. The straw hat man took off his straw hat and couldn't help complaining: "It's strange to say, I was fishing in the middle of the river, but these snakes who didn't know where they came from climbed up directly along my fishing rod, and they almost scared me to death." ”

"I had knives on board early in the morning, so I chopped up these little snakes that climbed up. ”

"Then you're still amazing. Officer Wang couldn't help complaining.

The middle-aged man in the straw hat smiled and said: "What a fart, I came to fish, but the fish didn't catch, but many snakes climbed up along the fishing rod. ”

Gu Chen observed the environment left and right, and then asked the angler again: "Big brother, are you from Dongshan Town?"

"Yes, a native of Dongshan Town, what's wrong?" the middle-aged man asked.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Then do you think these snakes are local? After all, you often fish in this area, so you should know better, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and replied: "It's definitely not a local snake, I've seen a few snakes in Dongshan Town before, and these snakes are not the same breed as these snakes now, so I feel that this snake is not local." ”

"Isn't it local? Is it an invasive alien species?" Officer Wang suddenly thought about it and said casually.

Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ridicule: "This is also an alien species, then you are too underestimating alien species, at most they are alien species." ”

"That's pretty much it. The middle-aged straw-hat man paddled hard to bring the boat to the shore.

With the help of Gu Chen and Officer Wang, the man landed on the shore and fastened the rope to a small tree on the shore, and then took out a live snake from the fishing basket.

But this startled Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei screamed in fright, and hurriedly hid behind Gu Chen: "This...... How can this still be alive?"

"Haha, it turns out that the female police officer is afraid of snakes?" The middle-aged man also gloated, and quickly moved the flower snake in his hand away from a distance, and said, "It's okay, this snake ...... Not poisonous. ”

"I'm afraid if it's not poisonous, it's weird and scary. ”

Lu Weiwei only dared to poke out half of her head from Gu Chen's shoulder, and she was a little frightened.

Officer Wang stepped forward, grabbed the man's wrist, and carefully observed the flower snake.

Seeing that the head of the flower snake was tightly pinched by the man, but the snake's tail was firmly wrapped around the man's arm, Officer Wang couldn't help complaining: "This snake should be able to buy a good price, much bigger than the green snakes I saw just now." ”

"yes, so I'm going to take it home to make wine, and the live snake will make up for it. The man's face was also full of joy, feeling that even if he didn't catch a fish today, he would have picked up a big bargain.

Lu Weiwei tilted her head from behind Gu Chen, and couldn't help but say: "Then you have to be careful, I watched some videos of live snakes and some supplements soaked in a transparent wine vat for a long time, but as soon as the lid of the wine vat was opened, the snake was still alive and would bite." ”

"Well, that's scary, but it's still rare, and it doesn't usually happen. The middle-aged man said.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and asked weakly: "But, every day at home, looking at a live snake suffocated in a wine vat, aren't you afraid?"

"Haha. Seeing that Lu Weiwei was so timid, the man couldn't help but joke: "That's not it, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

"It just feels, Dongshan Town seems to be a little different, let me catch a few small snakes sent to the door today, it is estimated that I will be able to catch the big snake tomorrow, I feel that I should not fish, make an appointment with a few friends, and catch snakes together tomorrow, I don't know how much I can catch. ”

"But haven't you ever thought about where this snake came from?" Gu Chen asked.

......
