Chapter 53: Uninvited Guests
At the end of December, it was approaching the end of the year, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and when I got up in the morning, I could always see the layers of frost condensed on the eaves and grass and branches outside the house. www.biquge.info The school is also on vacation, and the children go home separately, some have to help with the housework, some have to help with the younger siblings, and the younger ones will be spoiled in the arms of their parents. There were no adults in the small thatched hut in Qingfeng Valley, only three children, the eldest of whom had to go to the back mountain to cut firewood, collect hay, and go to the roof to mend the grass.
The weather is getting colder, more and more sparrows and squirrels are coming to steal straw from the roof, the grass layer on the roof is getting thinner and thinner, and the punishment has to collect hay everywhere so that this winter can be better.
He was busy on the roof with a ladder, and with his sharp eyes he saw a small circle of golden and dark black things coiled together, covered with straw, and he couldn't see it at all. I had to go down to the ground and pick up a small wooden stick, and then go up to the roof, pick up the circle of golden things, and look, Mom, it turned out to be a little snake hibernating, so frightened that he quickly threw it to the ground.
The little snake that fell to the ground with a snap was smashed to the ground, shook its head and woke up, slowly straightened up, stretched out a black letter and probed around, as if it had found a satisfactory place again, and slowly crawled towards the warm kitchen.
Xing Youyou, who was teasing Xiaobai with her second brother on the side, heard the shouts of her eldest brother, and also saw the small snake on the ground, and at a glance, she recognized it as a poisonous snake, and it was a very poisonous krait. She had seen in the "Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Chronicle" that the krait snake was often used to brew into medicinal wine, which had the effect of dispelling wind, channeling and relieving pain. Although the krait snake is highly venomous, it is slow in its movements and docile in temperament, so it is not difficult to catch. At the time she had passed, there were not many kraits, and they were endangered, and if they accidentally killed one, they would go to jail. But now, hum, they're short of food, and it's a bit of a waste to soak in wine, and you can just cut off your head and stew it into broth. She has also eaten snake meat before, and it tastes good, and I believe her brothers should like it too.
Xing Youyou thought about it, opened his hands to maintain his balance, staggered towards the kitchen, and was on the ladder to see his sister actually walking towards the kitchen, and quickly got down and picked her up.
Xing Youyou, who was intercepted halfway through, couldn't help it even though he was unhappy, so Xing Youliang carried her into the bedroom and closed the door for her safety. Now it's her turn to worry about her eldest brother, this is a poisonous snake, although they have a docile personality, but they have no experience in catching snakes after all, and if they bite it, they will die.
At this moment, Xing Youliang was indeed preparing to catch the snake, he closed the kitchen door, and a man with a stick in his right hand and a firewood knife in his left hand rummaged around for the trace of the little thing. But he obviously saw this little thing running in, but now he can't find it, it's really strange. The sentence had rummaged for a long time and didn't find it, so he gave up, explained a few words to his younger brothers and sisters, and approached the kitchen strictly.
At night, Xing Youyou couldn't sleep all the time, because there was a poisonous snake at home, and she felt that her brothers' lives were threatened all the time, she either killed this thing directly, or put it into the secret realm, but obviously, she couldn't do the previous option now.
Xing Youyou, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, came to the kitchen by the wall, held back his breath, didn't make a sound, and didn't know how long it took, and finally found it in the haystack in front of the stove near the corner. Xing Youyou stretched out his little hand, and with just a slight touch, he sucked the little snake into the secret realm.
The little krait snake that entered the secret realm, as if it had come to spring, happily spit out its letters, felt the pleasant temperature, and began to wander around.
After exploring for a while, I swam into the pool in the middle, swam in the water, and took a comfortable bath. Seeing that there were a lot of fish and shrimp in the pond, I couldn't help but start foraging. It had been hungry for two months, and began to gobble it up, but it was not hungry, it just chose to eat all the shrimp in the pond, and the corpses of the fish floating on the surface of the water were accidentally poisoned by it. After a full burp, Xiao Jinhuan wandered to the grass pile on the edge of the secret realm and coiled in a circle, hid his head under his abdomen, and took a nap.
After Xing Youyou put the little golden ring into the secret realm, he slowly returned to the kang with his support for the wall. Lying on the kang, she was never at ease, listening to the little snoring of her brothers, Xing entered the secret realm with peace of mind, but what greeted her was a piece of floating white belly floating on the water surface (the fish will flip its belly and float to the surface of the water after death).
Xing Youyou suddenly felt that her liver was on fire, there were not many fish left, and she wanted to send them out if she raised them bigger, but an uninvited guest came halfway and poisoned her fish. Xing Youyou looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the golden yellow in the grass.
Well, this culprit is still sleeping leisurely on the haystack, and she must be a vacation spot. This is her territory, she is the queen here, as long as her mind is strong enough, she can do whatever she wants, and today she must teach this 'criminal' a good lesson."
Xing Youyou's thoughts together, lifted the little golden ring into the air. The krait snake felt that the lower part of its abdomen had lost its strength, and opened its eyes in horror, and wanted to struggle to get down to the ground, but it could only coil in the air, unable to move. Seeing Xing Youyou keep walking in, Xiao Jinhuan seemed to feel the danger signal and couldn't stop swallowing the snake hyacinth.
Xing Youyou doesn't know how to train snakes, she can only train dogs, so she began to communicate with it in words like she used to train rhubarb.
I don't know if the pronunciation is unclear, but this sentence does not have any deterrent effect. Xiao Jinhuan was still hunched back, spitting out a letter and looking at the little man in front of him.
After Xing Youyou communicated with Xiao Jinhuan for a long time, she didn't give her any good reaction, until she said, "If you bite the dead fish, I'll send you out to stew soup." ”
She didn't know if it understood or not, but it was no longer hunched over and spit out the letter, Xing Youyou gently put it on the grass again, and saw that it began to relax, and slowly coiled up again and began to rest, Xing Youyou began to busy his own business. He scooped up all the fish carcasses in the pond, dug a pit, and buried them all.
Xing Youyou sighed in his heart, "It's a pity that it's poisonous, it can't be used as food, it can only be used as fertilizer." ”
