Chapter 54: The Little Snake Kisses the Candy Man
[Thank you for the support of the book friend 'Time Flies!' 'Ice Years', 'Love Night Feather', and 'Two-Dimensional Demon King True Ancestor'. γ
Qin Xuanqi pulled the two girls to sit on the public bench, and after walking around for a long time, she was already a little tired, and she was just thinking about how to deal with this delicate sugar man while resting.
The three of them looked at the sugar man in their hands in a daze wordlessly, this is food, there is no way to keep it at all, not to mention bringing it back to school, it is estimated that it will be damaged by the reckless girl the moment they meet An Yun.
After thinking about it, Qin Xuanqi still said:
"Don't look at it like that, let's eat it here. β
"But..."
Wei Yi is very embarrassed, and the same is true for Shancheng, they also clearly know that the sugar man is used to eat, even if it is very delicate, but out of girlish feelings, they are not willing to let this sugar man be destroyed in the slightest, if they have a choice, they would rather not eat this sugar man, so it has been preserved.
"Then you think about it, when you see An Yun later, I can't guarantee what this girl will do. β
When Qin Xuanqi said this, the two girls nodded with difficulty, they had been with An Yun for so long, they could naturally think of the ending of the sugar man falling into An Yun's hands, except for being played badly and then eaten, there would definitely be no second end.
Qin Xuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, these two aunts and grandmothers finally nodded, and if they didn't nod, they could only take the sugar man to the door of the temple and be demolished by An Yun, although it was not a pleasant thing to destroy a beautiful thing, but no matter how beautiful it was, it was food, and there was no meaning.
However, the world was unpredictable, and just as he was about to break off one of his wings, a black and white shadow burst out from Qin Xuanqi's wide sleeve and bit on the phoenix's tail.
Qin Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed happily after seeing the familiar pattern, this guy from Tianci finally woke up after more than five months, if he hadn't used his superpower to observe Tianci every day, he would have thought it was dead, but this little guy is really heartless, he has been worried about it for a long time, and the first thing the little guy woke up was actually a candy biter.
But the little guy is too small, only the thickness of his index finger, no more than 20 centimeters long, and his mouth is open and he only bites the tip of the tail of the phoenix candy man, which looks like the tail of the sugar man again.
"What is this?"
Seeing that Qin Xuanqi suddenly froze and didn't move, with an unusually happy smile on his face, Shancheng looked curiously at Qin Xuanqi's gaze, and just happened to see the heavenly gift with the tail of the sugar man, and couldn't help but want to reach out and poke it.
Shancheng's actions startled Qin Xuanqi, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Don't move?"
"What's wrong?"
Although Qin Xuanqi's reaction was too intense, Shancheng still subconsciously took her hand back, she felt that something bad would happen if she continued.
Seeing Shancheng obediently retract his hand, Qin Xuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, although Tianci has always eaten sugar, and it is milk candy, but the toxicity is not weak. Not only is it not weak, it can be said to be very strong, I remember when I was a child, when I was a child in my hometown in a mountain village, Qin Xuanqi was chased around by a big dog full of meat, and fell to the ground for a while, seeing that the big dog was about to pounce, Qin Xuanqi subconsciously raised an arm, Tianci was wrapped around that arm, and the moment he felt the danger, he got out of Qin Xuanqi's sleeve, bounced onto the big dog's body and bit it hard, and the big dog that originally opened its bloody mouth was like a cassette to Qin Xuanqi's big dog, and fell straight down from mid-air.
Since then, Qin Xuanqi has known that Tianci is small and exquisite, endearing and only eats sugar, but the toxicity is not weak at all, it can be said that it is very terrifying, and it is nothing more than seeing blood to seal his throat.
Tianci also reacted at this time, let go of the candy in his mouth, hooked his tail to Qin Xuanqi's wrist, his upper body was cocked, and a pair of small black eyes stared at Shancheng, hissing and spitting out a crimson snake letter.
Qin Xuanqi immediately broke off the tail of the sugar man that had been bitten by Tianci and put it to Tianci's mouth to soothe:
"Don't bite her, she's your mistress. β
I don't know if I really understood or if I haven't eaten for a few months and I'm hungry, in short, Tianci temporarily let go of his hostility, why do you say temporary? In the past, Tianci would swallow sugar in his stomach, and then wrapped his wrist around Qin Xuanqi's wrist and fell asleep, until the next time he ate, or when danger was approaching, he would not wake up, this time he actually unusually swam to Qin Xuanqi's shoulder with a piece of sugar in his mouth, and he didn't take a bite to savor it. Well, it may be the first time I've eaten this kind of candy, after all, I've been eating toffee before.
After Qin Xuanqi pacified Tianci, Weiyi and Shancheng cautiously pointed at Tianci and asked:
"It's a snake. β
"Hmm. β
Qin Xuanqi nodded, stretched out a finger to massage the back of the heavens, and explained to Shancheng and Weiyi at the same time:
"The little one I met when I was a kid when I was out with my teacher on an outing. β
Qin Xuanqi couldn't help but think of the unexpected way he and Tianci met, and said with a warm smile:
"I didn't have any friends since I was a child, and I was watching others play on the side of the outing, I just watched, and then I accidentally saw a bunch of broken white eggshells and spilled egg whites in the cracks of the stones around me, so I boldly reached out and poked, but the little guy came out of nowhere and wrapped around my fingers and couldn't die, and I didn't dare to pull the little guy hard, and finally took it home in a daze. β
Speaking of this, Qin Xuanqi couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"I'll tell you, in fact, I was super afraid that Tianci's mother would find my house and give me a mouthful, although at that time I didn't know if Tianci was poisonous or not, but I was afraid. After I brought it home, my god-given mother didn't seek revenge on me, so I was relieved. The little guy had just hatched at that time, and I didn't know what to feed it, so I melted my favorite toffee with water and fed it to the little guy little by little. β
"The little guy has been with me for ten years, probably because he was born prematurely, so he hasn't grown his body since he was so old eight years ago, and he sleeps for a few months, even half a year, and doesn't hibernate in winter, which is probably related to hanging on me all year round. The little guy said that he was born prematurely, but in fact he was broken before it fully hatched, and it is estimated that some other beast stole the nest of snake eggs, and God was lucky enough to eat it. I happened to meet me, I have been careful in the past ten years in order to be found by my family, and it happened that it woke up today, otherwise you will have a few days to see the little one. β
While Qin Xuanqi spoke, he reached out and broke off the two phoenix wings and handed them to Shancheng and Weiyi, and he took the body of the phoenix candy man in his mouth, sweet and silky, with a hint of burnt bitterness, which made people have an endless aftertaste.
Tianci didn't know when he had already eaten a small piece of tail that Qin Xuanqi had given him, and he didn't go back to Qin Xuanqi's wrist to sleep, he simply coiled on Qin Xuanqi's shoulder and bit the exposed phoenix tail outside Qin Xuanqi's mouth without a bite, Qin Xuanqi didn't mind, it was rare for the little guy to be so energetic, he used to eat and sleep. just smiled and flicked the little guy's head, and the little guy squirmed around Qin Xuanqi's fingers angrily.
Looking at the awkward little guy, Qin Xuanqi asked Shu Jin curiously in his heart:
"I never asked you, what breed is the little one?"
[Chinese scientific name: sharp-nosed pither
Suborders: Snakes, Vipers
Latin scientific name: Deinagkistrodonacutus
Other names: seven-step snake, hundred-step snake, five-step snake. (Endemic snakes in China)γ
Four lines of words without the slightest emotion appeared in front of Qin Xuanqi's eyes, Qin Xuanqi did not feel the slightest discomfort, after half a year of communication, he had become accustomed to the way of communication with Shu Jin.
But I didn't expect that the little guy was actually the famous five-step snake, and in order to understand the little guy's life experience, he had also consulted books about snakes.
According to the book, the total length of the adult five-step snake is 120-150 centimeters, and some can exceed 200 centimeters. The head is large and triangular, distinctly distinguishable from the neck, with long canal teeth. The scales on the nose will turn upward, and the scales at the end of the tail will form a sharp hard object called a 'Buddha nail'.
The back is brownish-black, the head side is yellow, the two colors are distinct, the body is brown or slightly green, there are 17-19 gray-white large square patches on it, and 3-5 tails, this spot is formed by the large triangular spots on the left and right sides in the middle of the back, and occasionally there are staggered arrangements, the edge of the plaques is dark, the ventral surface is milky white, there are small black spots arranged irregularly in the throat, and there are large black spots in the center and sides of the abdomen.
But the little guy has no hard body, the head is not triangular, it is oval like a non-venomous snake, the tail is also soft, the number of scales is not bad from the book, but the color is completely different, the real five-step snake only has the scales on the abdomen, the scales are black and white, but the little guy's whole body is black and white scales.
The main thing is, it's been ten years, according to the grade of the snake, how can it be considered an adult, but the total length of the little guy is not even 25 centimeters, let alone 120 centimeters.
"Why is that little guy so small? Shouldn't I be more than a meter after ten years?"
[The incubation time is insufficient, and not enough nutrients are obtained. γ
"Is this a disease?"
[No, its nascent state is similar to that of a deformed child in humans, but because it was broken out of its shell before it was completely finalized, it opened in an unknowable direction, involving a genetic mutation, and it can also be said to be a new creature.] You don't find that its poison is very strong, even more than the poison of the five-step snake, which is one of the changes. γ
New creatures?
Hearing these two words, Qin Xuanqi raised his eyebrows. When he asked Shu Jin how much vitality he needed to treat the little guy in the cracks of that world, Shu Jin made an astronomical amount, at least now he can't afford to pay.
"Then why did you ask me why I had so much energy?"
[Let it return to its original form.] γ
As soon as Shu Jin said this, Qin Xuanqi understood that the 'Heavenly Gift' was not actually sick, and the reason why it needed so many vitality treatments was just the original state of the 'Heavenly Gift'.
"What's going on with the heavenly gift always sleeping?"
γToo lazy to move...
It seems that Shu Jin is also speechless about this snake, and it is also possible that Qin Xuanqi has been raising it for ten years and does not know the reason why his snake does not move.
