Chapter 14: One Blood, Silver-Krait

"Vivi, stop! There's a snake in front of you. ”

"We walked over gently, and I turned my spear first, with the fork facing forward. ”

Liu Danqing explained while raising the fork, gently walked to a place about three meters away from the snake, and rushed to the snake with a fork.

The snake wrapped around Liu Danqing's spear and twisted violently, trying to break free of the fork, but this fork was originally made by Liu Danqing for the characteristics of snakes, and at this time, it happened to be stuck in the snake's body, making it unable to break free.

"It's a pity that the first prey I encountered couldn't be eaten! This is a cobra. ”

Xiao Weiwei was about to come up and take a look clearly, but when she heard that this was a cobra, she quickly stopped, which shows how dangerous the cobra is in people's hearts.

"Cobra family is a big subject, there are about 61 genera including 325 species have been confirmed, including cobra, king cobra, mamba, ring snake, coral snake and other famous members, accounting for more than half of all venomous snake species in the world, this one is the cobra in the cobra family in the genus of Zhoushan cobra, everyone listens to it does not feel very awkward, but he is indeed such a classification. ”

This snake is also known as the Chinese cobra, commonly known as the rice shovel head, the rice spoon Qian, the rice spoon, and the bulging-necked snake. You see that its head is oval, there are white spectacle frame-like markings on the back of the neck, the back of the body is black-brown, there are more than ten yellow-white horizontal spots on it, and the body length is about one meter five. However, at this point it is in a state of fear, so it does not exhibit the above actions. ”

"This kind of snake usually doesn't come to such a high mountain, this time it is estimated that it was frightened by the torrent, and fled for its life, alas, it is connected to fate, in the face of the torrent, we are all equal. ”

"Although I would love to use it as food, it is now listed as an endangered species in China, so I am ready to release it now, and I can't cause instability in the ecosystem because of my own tongue, after all, we humans are a member of the ecosystem, and we are the most profitable members. ”

"Not long ago, a woman from Ontario bought dozens of Chinese cobras and was arrested by the police, because in Ontario and Qiong provinces, Chinese cobras are provincial key protected animals. ”

"Even more ignorant is a villager in Southwest Province, he caught an Asian rock python, not only made it into snake soup, but also posted it to the circle of friends to show off, but when he drank snake soup, he was caught by the police, and when he was arrested, he was still confused, and he didn't know that he was eating a national first-class key protected animal. Now the dude has been prosecuted. ”

"Bye-bye, my flesh, Vivi, alas?"

Liu Danqing picked out the cobra with a fork, and the cobra lost its usual majesty at this time, and disappeared with a sneak.

Xiao Weiwei also forgot the danger of the cobra at this time, and said with a regretful face: "Alas, the snake soup is in the soup, what a pity." ”

"It's a lot of meat, Qing Ye just let it go?"

"Xiong Da gave Weiwei a fighter jet - everyone is responsible for protecting the forest!"

"Xiong Er gave Weiwei a fighter jet - everyone is responsible for protecting the forest!"

These two beans are poisoned, it seems that they are poisoned by seeing the bear infested.

Although the cobra was released, the two did not regret it for long, and another snake was discovered by Liu Danqing.

"Audience friends, I found another snake, this snake should be able to eat, let me catch it, and then identify it carefully. ”

"This is indeed a silver krait, neither a protected animal, nor a three-have animal, thanks to nature, for giving us food!"

"The silver krait, also known as white knotted black, silver armor belt, silver clad iron, etc., is the fourth most venomous snake on land, because of these white rings on its body. ”

"This krait snake is about 1.30 meters and 40 in appearance, it is a medium size, the venom of this snake is very special, it is a mixture of two neurotoxins, the lethality rate is very high, it bites, it will not feel very pain, but will want to sleep, if it is not treated, it will die of respiratory paralysis in a few hours. ”

"So I'm going to be careful, Vivi, shovel the sapper to me, I'm going to cut off its head. ”

Liu Danqing took the sapper shovel handed over by Xiao Weiwei, and pressed the head of the krait snake with the shovel head.

Liu Danqing threw the snake head away with a sapper shovel, and explained: "For the cut off snake head, everyone must be careful, you must not take it with your hands, and you can't even approach it with your hands to prevent the snake head from jumping up and biting your hand." ”

Xiao Weiwei shuddered when she heard this, and asked, "This snake will bite if its head is cut off?" It sounds like a supernatural story. ”

And the live broadcast room is lively again:

"6666666666, the young master tells ghost stories. ”

"Master Qing, are you sure you're not scaring us?"

"Society, my young master, the story of the supernatural snake!"

"This is not a supernatural event, the snake is a lower animal, the nerve center is distributed throughout the body, so it will not lose the ability to move because it is cut into two parts, the snake is through the heat induction system to identify the world, its heat induction system is on the snake's head, and the venom glands and fangs are also on the snake's head, so the snake head that has just been cut off will jump up and bite. ”

"Last year in Dong Quang Province, there was a chef who was bitten on the head of a king snake with eyes that was more than two meters long. At that time, after he chopped off the snake's head, it took more than ten minutes to process the snake's meat and cook it in the soup, only to find that when he cut the snake's head this time, he forgot to dust the snake's head into the trash can with a knife, so he walked over, ready to pick up the snake's head and throw it away, but when his hand reached ten centimeters away from the snake's head, the snake's head suddenly jumped up and bit his hand. Fortunately, the hotel was very close to the snake doctor clinic, and the rescue was timely and a life was saved. ”

"So there is a legend in many places that the snake will come back for revenge when it dies. ”

"Early morning ghost stories, I don't have a trace of sleepiness anymore. ”

"It's good that I didn't talk about it at night, and I got goosebumps when I listened to it. ”

Liu Danqing pinched the snake's tail, lifted the snake's body upside down, gestured, and said with great satisfaction: "After this snake removes its head, it is still about one meter three, which is a good meat dish." ”

Xiao Weiwei really has the potential to be a female savage, she came up and carefully poked the scales on the snake's body with her fingers: "It's cool, very dry, and it doesn't feel as slippery and greasy as I imagined." ”

Liu Danqing looked at her cautious appearance and asked, "Weiwei, are you touching a snake for the first time?"

"Well, I haven't touched a snake before, I thought the snake was slippery and greasy, very disgusting, but I didn't expect it to feel good. Xiao Weiwei looked curious about the baby's appearance, and replied while touching the snake's body.

"Then would you like to try skinning this snake?"

"Don't, it's disgusting!"

When Xiao Weiwei heard that she wanted to skin the snake herself, she decisively shook her head and refused.

Liu Danqing smiled, didn't say anything more, and began to move himself.

"Since Wei Wei is unwilling to skin the snake, then I can only come by myself, we are now in the summer of the eighteen villages, this snake is easy to spoil, and the first to spoil is the snake's internal organs, so I now have to skin this snake for meat to extend the shelf life. ”

"I have a tool for skinning snakes at hand now, and that's this knife. I first cut the skin on the snake's belly three centimeters from the fracture, then peeled off this section of the skin, and then pinched the snake skin with one hand and the snake meat with the other, and pulled hard. ”

With a "sting", the snake meat and snake skin were separated, and Liu Danqing picked up the peeled snake skin to show the audience.

"Look, if you skin the snake like this, the skin is still intact, it's a natural water bladder, but now we have a kettle, and we don't need it, otherwise I'll wash it and carry it with water. ”

"Next, I'm going to take out the snake's entrails, I'm going to cut open the snake's belly with a knife, and then I'm going to squeeze out all the snake's entrails, which are actually the best bait, whether it's for setting traps or fishing, it's good, but our priority now is to explore this area, so I'm going to make the easiest trap. ”

"There is a jungle trail here, probably a passage for small animals, and I dig a hole in the path with a sapper's shovel, not too big, twenty centimeters in diameter, and twenty centimeters deep, and then I use some thin branches to stick along the hole, leaving a small hole in the middle of it that is 8 centimeters in diameter, and then throw all the entrails into it. In this way, if there is a greedy critter that gets into it, it will be difficult to come up with it, and I hope this trap will be rewarded. ”

"We put the snake meat in a polyethylene sealed bag, put it in our pocket, and moved on. These bags are also a camping staple to keep items that need to be kept dry to keep them out of moisture, such as toilet paper. ”

Liu Danqing put away the snake meat and took Xiao Weiwei to continue to explore, if the weather was good, they were going to spend more time this time, explore as many places as possible, and find more ingredients.
