Article 31 Snake Hunting

Dorao devised several sets of plans in his mind to make the snake in his hands, and as soon as he established it, he was immediately overturned by himself, like a designer with little knowledge, designing one set and erasing the other. It's not fun, if you catch it, it will resist. He has a mouth that is poisonous, and it can swell you or even kill you, which means a few days of rest or a life. He recited "The Snake Catcher Said", "The land of Guangdong is a strange snake, black and ......", but he didn't tell you how to catch it, nor did he tell you how smart its ears and eyes were, and he didn't tell you how strong it was. People say that as long as it wraps around your waist, if it is tight, it will kill you. It also says that once you catch it, it won't give you time to drill into your nostrils with a tail like a drill! You don't need to find out how deep you drill, you're done anyway.

And this snake must be caught, what should I do? Tool. What tool? Wooden stick, to grow is good, a stick down, it is either dead or injured, come forward to catch it, but if the advertisement is injured, don't say dead. Hold it down with a stick? No, if you press its head and tail, it will drill your nose, and if you press its tail, it will stick its head out and bite you, and if you press its middle, then you may be bitten and drilled at the same time. A few meters away, hit it with a stone? What is the probability of using the basket technique of using yellow flowers and grass as gambling funds to hit a linear snake in the hazy moonlight? ……

Dorau looked in a few rooms as if the hen was about to lay eggs. What are the right tools to use? Sticks, poles, baskets, baskets, baskets, hoes, rakes, buckets...... There was a sack in the corner, but the sack was eighty percent new, but it was a sack, soft, shaken open, such a big bag, he put a cover on himself, yah, there was a black hole in it, a smell of hemp and chaff. He stayed in it for a while, and it occurred to him that if the snake was in here, it would be a dead end! When I lifted it, my head came out, and my hands were still in it. This time, inspiration came, and he flew all the way to the ridge before he climbed the ridge and shouted willow branches.

Willow Branch came out, and when she saw him with his hands in a sack, jumping up and down, and her spirit was flying, she felt incomprehensible. I heard him shouting again and again: "You sleep underground!" You sleep underground! "What are you doing sleeping underground, she doesn't know what's going on. Pointing to a piece of land in front of him, "Just sleep there, sleep there!" ”

Willow Branch obeyed his habit anyway, and lay on the ground on all fours.

Holding the sack in both hands, Duo Lao secretly took two steps like a cat and mouse, jumped over, and aimed the open sack at her head and pounced. With a howl of the wind, the sack covered the head of the willow branch, and Duo Lao's whole body covered her, pressed it tightly, and cried out: "Catch it!" Caught it! The pressure made the willow branch unable to breathe, and the nose was covered, which made it even more uncomfortable. Under the sack came a voice like a man falling into a well: "Oops! It's not good! ……”

"Package success! Package success! Dorau jumped up on his feet and slapped his ass with both hands.

Willow Branch understood: she was a snake!

"The snake can't react faster than you!"

The moon and stars are sparse, the cool breeze is blowing, Duo Lao and the willow branch stepped on the dew and moonlight in the middle of the night, came to the front 50 meters of the former dividing line, Duo Lao touched the willow branch with his hand, and the willow branch stopped.

Dorau cat body, barefoot, polishing eyes, lightening breathing, counting step by step, in a word, standard thief-like. Sure enough, the snake didn't see the advertisement of the Tuoshan Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and I was the only one lying in place, more than two meters long, like the Great Wall.

It is possible that it was the help of the exercises during the day, and the actual combat at night was successful in one fell swoop. The sack that Duo Lao was holding was turned over first, he covered the snake's head with both hands, and pressed his body against it, how could it still drill his nose, this is your war to the death, what kind of words can you say, touch the place of the hand, hold it tightly! This is the head of the snake, and then the sack is pushed down the body of the snake, and the whole snake goes into the sack.

The guy who was unwilling to be captured moved in the sack, and he could hear a sudden sound. The lifted sack swayed like a cash cow.

Dorau went home and put the sack and the snake in the basket, and threw it on the ground, pressing a brick on it, and he prevented the creature inside the sack from escaping with its powerful tail through the cracks in the sack.

The next morning, for the first time, they were "searching" under the condition that the weather allowed to hunt for pigweed, and they did not eat breakfast, put on their schoolbags, and went straight to the Tuoshan Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

The gate of the supply and marketing cooperatives is not like the gate of the county department store, it is still on the shelf at dawn, so that he and the police play a back and forth, when they are still more than ten meters away from the gate is suffering from how long does this door open, as if to welcome them, the extra-large door latch inside the gate sounded, and faintly heard the sound of iron hitting each other, and then made a squeaky sound, which can be regarded as the first big gate of the Tuoshan Commune opened.

The salesman first weighed the sack and the snake together, then untied the rope of the sack, stuffed the mouth of the bag into the mouth of an iron cage, grabbed the bottom of the bag, and looked at the fierce guy as if he was afraid of an explosion in an atomic bomb test, and saw that the fierce guy had fallen into the cage, and within half a second of pulling out the mouth of the bag, the door of the wire was slammed shut, and the snake immediately raised its head, and looked at Duolao with a vicious eye that was completely defeated and did not admit defeat, and two whisker-like tongues stretched out and danced in the air, indicating its anger.

In addition to the bag, there are two catties and two taels, the unit price per catty is 8 yuan, a very simple math problem, but the salesman must make a few fingers to make the abacus beads ring, before he reported like singing: "17 pieces of 6 cents!" ”

Really rich overnight! The male salesman was about to hand the money to the girl, and the hand that Liu Zhi stretched out trembled, and wanted to retract it, she didn't believe that so much money was theirs! And it's up to her to pick it up. This is equivalent to all the income of a family in the production team at the end of the year! If there is also a family with male laborers.

Do the math, draw a line, give 6 cents sewing wages, you can also get back 5 points, there are still 17 yuan 05 points in hand, Duo Lao closed his eyes for a while, and suddenly asked or knowingly shouted to the salesman just now: "Do you have a good purchase here?" ”

The salesman gave him a blank look, his face was facing the willow branch, and he pointed out the door: "It's true that Liang has to go to the county department store." After saying that, he looked at her for a while.

Walking out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, Dorao remembered that the sack forgot to bring it out, and Willow Branch hurriedly went in to pick up the sack, and then Dorao said to her: "You take the sack and put it under your ass for class, you help me ask Teacher Dong for a leave, saying that I went to the county seat, and she won't do anything." Yesterday I saw that the department store still has a blue really good, and you have to make a pair of pants and a pair of sandals. ”

"You have to buy it yourself, you have to buy your own!"

Duo Lao had already run many steps in the direction of the county seat, and with each step he could see the thick and hard skin of his feet.

The first battle was successful, and the second battle was exemplary. As long as the snakes of the double bull rush are seen by Duolao, they will not escape. And this tactic, the safety of the sack capture method, is foolproof. So when they went to chop wood, they had one more tool: a sack was always tied to the thousand loads.

The mountain of Shuangniuchong is too big and there are too few snakes, and this snake hunt has a seasonal surname. Regretful.

Rushing down from the trumpet-shaped bullpen is a Ganggu basin, which is the main part of the territory of Tuoshan Commune. The Ganggu Basin, surrounded by high mountains, is like a bathtub in the middle of the river. This "bathtub" was set aside very carelessly at the beginning, and it was not leveled, high in the west and low in the east. And a meandering river that runs through the east and west, like the snake that Dorau has just begun to lift, bends, one high and the other low. The river is usually only busy during the rainy season in spring and summer, when there are heavy rains, and sometimes it is even so busy that it angrily pushes the excess water around, making it a swamped country. Most of the time it looks like a dirt pit, which makes people suspect that it is a trench that has fought a world war, and that it has accumulated water under it for a long time. The water was sometimes deep and shallow, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the narrow part was just a line, and in the trough embedded with pebbles on both sides, it hummed a minor tune so gentle that it could only be heard close to the ear, and twisted its body to flow leisurely. The place where the water is deep is generally at the bend, so deep that a person can not see his fingertips when he raises his hand and sinks. It's like a crater left by a giant bomb that fell back then.

Such a "crater" is filled with a variety of fish.

After a few more times, Duo Lao became like a fish in these craters, but this "fish" is a fish that specializes in catching fish, and it is a policeman in the fish. It was mostly noon on Sundays, and as long as the water was warm enough to go down, Dorao and Willow Branch would come to the river, and he would fill the river with half a bucket of water that seemed to be the only one he had the right to carry, and then hand it to Willow Branch. Like a diver, he raised his hands above his head, wrote his body into a "pointed" character, jumped into the water, and splashed a circle of badminton-like foam.

It is often those stupid crucian carp who, when they hear the explosion of the "bomb" above, stick their bodies against the shallow mud and sand, motionless, and dare not come out of the atmosphere. And this method of hiding has long been mastered by Duolao, he is hidden in the water, his hands are next to the mud and sand, and he surrounds them, and when Duolao's hand touches them, he can't hold his breath, unlike in the movie, even if he just hides in the woodwood, the enemy's bayonet can still remain static when it reaches the nose, but they tremble in fright, Duolao's hand will press it on the spot, and if necessary, the other hand will also come to help. If they just stay where they are, they may be able to escape, and if they rush forward and run away like a discovered thief, they may be able to escape the catastrophe.

Duolao's head came out of the water like a water duck, a curtain of water hung from the top of his head, his head shook like a pepper grinder, one hand wiped his eyes and nose, one hand raised, a fish head and tail swayed desperately on both sides of his hand, his hand was raised like a one-handed shot, a white arc crossed the air, a light one, two taels, heavy half a pound or even more crucian carp jumped on the shore, willow branch hurriedly grabbed it and put it into the bucket. When the fish arrived at a raw place, they were so anxious that they made some splashes, and the willow branches clapped their hands and jumped happily.

There are also carp, grass carp, herring, mud carp, black caviar...... As soon as these fish heard the sound of the "bomb" above, they fled in all directions to the cracks in the stones or holes in the embankment. These caves are often curved and have horns around them, and the hand reaches into them to turn according to the corners, and from time to time there is a risk of being hurt by the corners between the stones. There are some fish that you pinch their tails but can't pull them out when they die. These fish are all fugitives from reservoirs and ponds when it rains heavily, thunder and lightning, and those who stay in this river may fall into the net of justice at the hands of Dolao. They weigh at least seven or eight pounds, and the big ones weigh several pounds. If you are particularly lucky, you will be lucky if you come across a group of fish. It is said that the fish can prevent cancer or even cure cancer, and the price is expensive, and a pound can buy dozens of yuan.

It used to be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, but now there are many people on a corner of Tuoshan who are doing some vegetable business, and buying a little meat, fish, chicken, or whatever. If there is a lump of fish, those who receive a monthly salary and often have stomach aches and suspect that it is cancer will buy it desperately. It is better to send it to the commune, those cadres are afraid of cancer. It's a pity that Duo Lao has only encountered such luck three times in his history, and all of them are sold in the commune, and the cadre said: "Now that this kind of trade is basically allowed, next time you catch it, you will give it to me, I am not like the one around the town who makes a name for yourself." ”

What is not satisfactory is that Duo Lao can only come to this river every Sunday to soak for a few hours, the fish in the river is not as many as in the pond, and there may be "deserters" in the river only when there is a big flood to blow up thunder and engage in sports, and snake hunting, this industry is also very strong in the season, the water is cold, and the iron will be soaked cold.

However, despite this, the clothes on Liu Zhi's body were different, and Duo Lao also bought a pair of liberation shoes, otherwise he always said that the cost of using the foot plate leather as the sole of the shoe was the lowest, and the two families could drip a few drops of oil in the pot when cooking, and the obvious improvement was that the lamp of the kerosene lamp they studied together at night was higher than before, and it was much brighter.
