The harvest was not good, and the Zulu tribe swept the forest too hard, and there were not many centipedes in it.

They searched for half an hour, but only found two centipedes.

In this way, Jill simply opened the trap, and there was not a single centipede in it, but some unknown small insects wriggled in it, which looked strange and disgusting.

Jill sat down on the ground in frustration and said, "This year we need to develop a new hunting ground, there are no centipedes in this area, damn it, we caught it too hard before." ”

Yang Shubao comforted him and said: "It is also possible that the trap setting time is too short, you see that you dug it up in half an hour, it will definitely be useless." ”

Jill shook his head and said: "It's true that traps usually exist overnight and the next day to dig up, but big centipedes are very good at making holes, if there are a few of them, there should be a few first, if there is no one, it means that there are no centipedes here." ”

One of the children explained to them, "Yes, this trap is for pathfinding, so it was only dug for two meters, and if you really want to set up a trap, it has to be twenty meters long!"

"Why don't you wait until the evening? Another child asked.

Centipedes can be caught twenty-four hours a day, but centipedes are only active during the day when they rest during the day.

During the day, they mainly rely on turning over stone piles and digging insect nests to catch resting centipedes, and at night from nightfall to midnight, this time is the feeding stage of centipedes, they are more active and easier to harvest.

Jill sighed and said, "We have to change the hunting ground, and we should give up here." ”

Yang Shubao's heart moved, and asked: "How about going to my territory and looking around? There are many forest belts in my reserve, and there should be some centipedes." ”

He didn't say anything about it, the roots of the tree of life can draw water for preservation, so the geology is even more moist, which is very tempting for centipedes.

In addition, the grassland of the reserve often performs the Ganlin technique, the wild grass grows vigorously, there are many insects, and the insects also accumulate a little spring of life obtained from the wild grass, and they should be more attractive to centipedes.

Reluctantly, Jill rummaged through again, but still did not find a centipede, but dug a small cave.

The Zulu children thought it was a rabbit hole and dug it, but a snake head came out of it.

Seeing this, the children became even more energetic: "A little python, catch it and roast it back and forth to eat." ”

"It's so tough," Zhang Jinjie admired, "We Liangguang people claim to dare to eat anything, but we are still far behind these tribal children." ”

Liangguang people eat snakes, but they will not eat snakes indiscriminately, wild snakes are particularly prone to parasites, and now the common people are living well, and they will not take risks for a bite to eat.

Yang Shubao said: "Don't eat it, in this way, I will give you a hundred yuan, you go buy meat to eat, and this snake will be brought back to me." ”

This python looks different from the rock python, its body is round and fleshy, and its tail is almost as thick as the shaved tail, which is more kawaii than the rock python, and it is very timid, and after being dragged out, it did not attack the children, but turned over its head and pretended to be dead.

The children were not afraid of this python at all, they started to play with it, and this snake was really played with without dignity.

Zhang Jinjie became interested: "What kind of snake is this? Python? And such a small python?"

Yang Shubao nodded: "Yes, this should be a sand python, we also have it in Asia, a very small python, not aggressive." ”

A young man stuffed his arm into the snake hole, and Zhang Jinjie shuddered again and again: "These children are too reckless, are they really afraid of what is in this hole?" What if there are snakes?"

Yang Shubao was about to say that pythons rarely live in groups, but the young man shouted with a happy face: "Also, there are still inside!"

He shook his arm and dragged it out, and his fist was swallowed by a snake head.

Zhang Jinjie looked straight: "Do you remember the movie "African Monk"? In it, Uncle Nine saw Africans use their legs to catch pythons, put their legs into the snake hole, and wait for the python to hold it and others drag him out. I always thought it was fiction, but it turned out that there was a prototype!"

"That's not fiction, you can really catch pythons like that, but it's not this small sand python, it's a rock python. Yang Shubao introduced.

Another child put his hand in, and a few minutes later a python was dragged out again!

The boy shouted happily, "Three hundred dollars." ”

Yang Shubao patted the ground and said, "Everyone, I bought out this snake cave for five hundred yuan, and the pythons in this snake cave will belong to me in the future." ”

Five children came with them, one of them for a hundred dollars, and they were all smiles on their faces.

Zhang Jinjie asked with interest: "Do you estimate that there are still sand pythons in here?"

Yang Shubao shook his head: "Not necessarily, but there should be a small snake inside, otherwise there is no need for sand pythons to live in groups, they are here to protect future generations." Because the young snakes of the sand python are too small to be eaten by mice, when it is time for the female to give birth, the surrounding snakes will come to help. ”

They dug a snake hole, and sure enough, there were snakes inside, a group of small snakes that were entwined together.

Zhang Jinjie was shocked and asked, "Where are the snake egg skins?"

Yang Shubao said: "There is no snake egg skin, they directly give birth to baby snakes. ”

Zhang Jinjie gave him a smile full of doubts: "Fooling me again, right? Can I not know that snakes lay eggs? I am a dignified child of Liangguang, can I still eat snake eggs? And I have eaten python eggs!"

Yang Shubao shook his head and said, "This is not a python. ”

"Damn, you take me for a fool?" Zhang Jinjie laughed, "You look so stupid in a serious way, you yourself said it was a python just now!"

Yang Shubao said helplessly: "You are a fool, the reason why I say it is a python is to make it easier for you to understand, in fact, the sand python belongs to the python, and the python and the python are both big snakes, but they are not the same thing at all." Pythons are oviparous, and anaconds are ovoviviparous. ”

Zhang Jinjie didn't believe it: "Don't try to lie to me, there is an old saying in our hometown, called the snake becomes a python, the python becomes a python, and the python becomes a dragon." ”

"Long Dacheng, Jackie Chan has a big nose?" Yang Shubao continued.

Zhang Jinjie gave him a punch and smiled: "Who is the idiom solitaire with you? I mean seriously, don't fool me." ”

Yang Shubao said: "I'm also serious, they are really ovoviviparous, that is, they first give birth to an egg in the body, and after the egg hatches, it becomes a small snake and is produced outside the body at the same time, just like some sharks." ”

"Really?" Zhang Jinjie was stunned.

Yang Shubao nodded: "Really, so why do you think I want to buy out this snake hole?"

If a small snake is 100 yuan, then Lao Yang will have to die today, the python and the python are very capable of life, and it is a big nest in his life, I am afraid that there are dozens of small sand pythons in it.

Sand pythons are very embarrassing, they have no fangs, and can only rely on strangled prey to eat, but they are only one meter long, and they are completely useless in the face of large animals, so their combat effectiveness is relatively poor, and they can only catch a mouse to live.

The problem of rodent infestation in the reserve has not been solved.

However, Lao Yang was still a little creepy, and he poured out the basket and handed it to the children, so that they could send all the little snakes in
