Chapter 44 There is a serpent on the mountain

As soon as Sun Henian's friend took office, he wanted to re-invite Zhao Ping'an and Sun Henian back to school as teachers, Sun Henian was still thinking about it, but Zhao Ping'an directly refused.

For him, being a teacher is just a pastime to pass the time, but his time is too busy to run out of time, so how can he have time to go to school to be a teacher.

In the end, Sun Henian agreed, and after his wife's health recovered, he returned to school as a teacher, but Zhao Ping'an took Hua Nai back to Changbai Mountain together.

The weather on the mountain is still as cold as ever, only a small hot spring near the house where Chen Tianya lives, so the environment here is still warm as spring.

Chen Tianya has been yelling that he has used up all the experiences in his life since he came back from Los Angeles, so now. Lying in bed with nothing to do.

Zhao Ping'an instructed Hua Nai to feed the chickens raised by Chen Tianya, Hua Nai resigned himself to his fate, and Zhao Ping'an looked at Chen Tianya who was lying on the bed and refused to get up.

"Senior brother is still in bed at such an old age, if that girl knows about it, it is estimated that she will laugh at you for several years. Zhao Ping'an tried to use Chen Xu'er to stimulate Chen Tianya's desire to get up, but this idea failed.

"What did I say to that girl who stayed in bed on Saturday and Sunday until the next morning?" Chen Tianya moved on the bed or refused to get up, there was a book next to the bed, Chen Tianya saw the cover of the book, as if he thought of something, pointed to the book and said: "By the way, peace, there are still three days when the ginseng on Changbai Mountain is ripe in large quantities, you see that my old arms and legs can't move, why don't you go with Hua Nai?"

The ginseng of Changbai Mountain is a specialty, which can live in an environment of more than 20 degrees below zero, and the medicinal effect is also extraordinarily good. Find a disciple under his name to go to the mountain to collect medicine, but a family of people withered, Zhao Liu Zhimingxia only has six apprentices, except for the old Chen Tianya, the remaining four whole year of the land are running around, the only Zhao Ping'an is still young, Chen Tianya is not at ease, so since Zhao Liuzhi died, the activity of going up the mountain to collect ginseng has been abandoned for nearly five or six years.

Ginseng is still more important to your doctor, Zhao Ping'an did not resist, nodded and said to Hua Nai, after three days of good preparation at the bottom of the mountain, he put his bags on his back and walked to Changbai Mountain.

This is the first time Zhao Ping'an came to Changbai Mountain to collect medicine, on the inaccessible Changbai Mountain, there is not a single small path, and the marks that the people of the medical door used to make many years ago have also disappeared in the erosion of wind and snow.

Now they can only rely on themselves, Zhao Ping'an and Hua Nai continued to walk forward despite the wind and snow.

It was easy to find a small road, only this road could continue to pass forward, Zhao Ping'an took out the map, marked a point on the map and showed it to Hua Nai: "We will continue to walk ten kilometers forward in this position now, and we will reach the place where ginseng grows." ”

In other words, Miao Jiang, who had lived in the heat since he was a child, couldn't accept such a cold environment, so he wailed and continued to walk forward with Zhao Ping'an.

Zhao Ping'an looked at Hua Nai's painful expression, thought for a while and said, "It's better for you to go back to Changbai Mountain first, there is no danger, and the further you go, the temperature will continue to drop." ”

Hua Nai didn't act recklessly this time, left most of the things in her backpack to Zhao Ping'an, and returned to the bottom of the mountain by herself.

After Hua Nai left, Zhao Ping'an walked alone, and after walking for another two hours, he actually heard the sound of a rustling sound from the grass on the side of the road.

In the cold weather, there are not many animals that can move, and most of them are large beasts, Zhao Ping'an was vigilant in his heart, staring at the place where the noise just made just now, but unexpectedly, there was no expected large animal rushing up Just a colorful small snake.

The length of this snake was only the thickness of Zhao Ping'an's fingers, and it was hidden in the grass, and it was not easy to find at all, but the bright markings all over his body revealed his location.

Zhao Ping'an is very different, in such a cold environment, even if there are snakes to survive, they should have fallen into hibernation a long time ago, why is this snake still moving, and it doesn't seem to be stiff at all.

Zhao Ping'an took two steps forward, wanting to take a closer look at the little snake, but the snake seemed to sense Zhao Ping'an's subtle movements and pointed its head, and when he looked back, he happened to find Zhao Ping'an.

The snake's slender head and fresh leaves show its extraordinary toxicity, Zhao Ping'an knows that snakes rely on heat to sense their prey, and there is no way to hide such a big target, so he has to strike first.

Zhao Ping'an's hand and the head of the little snake were raised at the same time, and Zhao Ping'an grabbed the seven inches of the little snake, but the snake was very gorgeous and broke free from Zhao Ping'an's confinement with a casual movement, and Zhao Ping'an only grabbed the tail of the snake.

Just when Zhao Ping'an was in a hurry and wanted to throw the snake down, the snake reacted quickly and bit Zhao Ping'an's tiger's mouth, and then jumped out of Zhao Ping'an's hand and crawled away quickly.

Zhao Ping'an's mouth hurt, and he waited until the snake was gone before he looked down, and his hand had been bitten out of four round hollows, and blood was still oozing out.

This snake is poisonous, definitely a poisonous snake, but I don't know the breed of snake, and I don't know how to detoxify it.

Just when Zhao Ping'an was looking around for nearby medicinal materials, he felt dizzy and suddenly rushed to Zhao Ping'an's head.

Holding on to the big tree on the side, Zhao Ping'an shook his head, cheered up, and felt that there were no symptoms of mouth ulcers in his mouth, so he could only make this decision and suck out the poisonous blood with his mouth first.

Spit out two mouthfuls of poisonous blood in a row, with an ominous blue-purple color in the blood, the symptoms of dizziness became more and more serious, and Zhao Ping'an could hardly see the situation in front of him.

Just when Zhao Ping'an was about to fall into a coma, the little snake that had escaped just now returned to Zhao Ping'an's side the same way.

It seems that the animals on the mountain have entered hibernation, and this snake woke up from hibernation in advance because it did not eat enough food before hibernation, and had to come out to forage for food, which was met by Zhao Ping'an.

Zhao Ping'an smiled bitterly, did he really want to sink into the sand and die on the mountain in vain?

Just when Zhao Ping'an was in a desperate situation, he suddenly thought that he had written a way in the Bible reading he got not long ago.

If you are bitten by an unknown poisonous snake and can't find a way to detoxify, you can swallow the snake gall bladder of that snake raw, so that the poison can temporarily suppress the toxicity in the body.

Zhao Ping'an used the last strength of his body to choke the neck of the little snake, and the little snake could no longer break free this time, and was strangled to death by Zhao Ping'an.

Zhao Ping'an took out the Swiss Army knife from his backpack, opened the belly of the little snake, took out the fishy snake gall, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The snake gall was slippery and greasy from the throat to the stomach, Zhao Ping'an resisted the desire to vomit, leaned against the tree and rested for more than half an hour, the heat in his body could not support it at all, Zhao Ping'an continued to survive in the weather of more than 20 degrees below zero, just when Zhao Ping'an was about to be frozen unconscious, the snake egg finally played its role after more than half an hour.

Zhao Ping'an's dizziness caused by poisoning was relieved a lot, and after struggling to get up from the ground, Zhao Ping'an had slowly recovered.

This is really a narrow escape, Zhao Ping'an didn't dare to be careless, and tied his wrists and ankles with ropes, so as to prevent small animals from crawling into his body.

Zhao Ping'an continued to walk forward, due to the reason of his weak tongue, Zhao Ping'an was exuding heat all over his body, even in such a cold weather, he couldn't feel a trace of coolness, but Zhao Ping'an knew that this was not a good thing.

If the heat is too much, the greater the consumption of his body, but fortunately, before Hua Nai left, he gave most of the share of food he brought to Zhao Ping'an, Zhao Ping'an ate two pieces of chocolate, replenished his energy, and then continued to move forward.

There are still seven kilometers to reach the place where life grows, Zhao Ping'an walked carefully all the way, and when he was about to arrive, he actually encountered a snake again.

This snake was as colorful as it was, and Zhao Ping'an found it when he was more than ten meters away from him.

At this time, Zhao Ping'an no longer dared to act rashly, and only after the snake crawled away did Zhao Ping'an dare to continue to move forward.

As we are about to walk to the place where life grows, more and more snakes will appear on the roadside, are these snakes all species that do not need to hibernate? Zhao Ping'an wondered in his heart.

Snake gall bladder is a cold thing, but after Zhao Ping'an ate snake gall just now, his whole body exuded heat, maybe these snakes do not need to hibernate.

At this time, Zhao Ping'an missed Hua Nai a little, if the other party was here, he would definitely not be afraid of these little snakes.

Zhao Ping'an cheered up and walked forward step by step, and when he was about to walk to the place where his life grows, the snakes crawled around Zhao Ping'an as if they had received some signal.

Are these snakes all here for human beings?

Zhao Ping'an came to Changbai Mountain to collect ginseng for the first time, and he didn't know much about the situation on the mountain, but when Chen Tianya asked him to come to collect ginseng, he didn't say that there would be these strange snakes on the mountain.

Although Zhao Ping'an was very cautious, there were still more and more around, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than 100 of them, crawling out of the winding lines on the snow.

Zhao Ping'an looked down, these lines are all with water stains after the snow melts, could it be that the body temperature of these snakes is warm, otherwise how can cold-blooded animals cause the phenomenon of snow melting?

It was impossible not to pay attention to these anymore, Zhao Ping'an shot like lightning, grabbed the nearest snake to him, and pinched its seven inches hard, preventing his hand from biting him.
