Chapter 33: Frogs Eat Snakes
Led by the nimble Orange Orange, and there were quite a few frogs in the field, at one o'clock in the evening, almost fifty frogs were caught.
Qiubai already felt a little heavy when he carried it, about three catties, which is a big gain, and there are frogs sold in the town now, the price is about fifteen to twenty-one catties, and three catties is almost sixty yuan, of course, this is in the case of taking it to sell.
Seeing that he was almost caught, Orange Orange was still unsatisfied, Qiubai hurriedly stopped it, everything was just enough.
"So I've already caught so much." Orange looked at the frog that was still very active in the net, and was a little unconvinced that she had caught it.
"Well, it's a lot, even better than me." Qiubai is not praising Orange Orange, but telling the fact that a few years ago, Qiubai also went out at night to cover, at that time there were not many frogs, and it was a lot to get a pound a night, which is like now, you can get three pounds in an hour, this achievement is enough to be proud.
"I think it's so easy." Orange licked her lips and looked at the deep surroundings, even if she caught so many frogs, there were still countless frog chirping from all directions, and she was lucky today, she didn't even see a trace of a snake after walking so many field stalks.
Qiubai is speechless, is this a contrast to his incompetence? But I think Orange Orange won't be so black-bellied, "Go back, these are enough, and if you catch it again, it will affect the ecological balance." ”
Orange Orange nodded, and the two went back towards Repulse Bay, and soon arrived at the bamboo forest in front of Repulse Bay.
"Oh, brother, wait a minute, what do you see ahead?"
Qiu Bai looked at it, and a golden thing flashed by, Qiu Bai didn't pay too much attention, but was attracted by a snake coiled there, this is a snake.
In the countryside of Shudi, if you want to talk about what is the easiest thing to meet when you go out at night, the top of the list is the mouse, but the snake must be one of them, so when you see a snake in the bamboo forest, although Qiubai was taken aback, she didn't feel strange, the bamboo forest is dark and damp, and it is one of the favorite places for snakes.
This is a snake with green body scales, Qiu Bai saw this color, his eyes shrank slightly, if memory serves, this snake is estimated to be a highly venomous snake: bamboo leaf green snake.
Zhu Yeqing is a highly venomous snake, the poisonous surname is very great, this snake is very neurotic, the so-called neuroticism is like a neuropathy, maybe when you go crazy will attack people, it is a very terrible snake in Shudi, but there are not many snakes of this kind, I don't think I will see one here.
Although this bamboo leaf green snake looks less than a meter long, but its name is scary enough, anyway, Qiu Bai is not very afraid to provoke, but at this time Zhu Ye Qing coiled up, making an attack posture, Qiu Bai glanced at the front of its snake head, it sees, this bamboo leaf green snake is hunting, and its target is a frog, but this frog has a strange skin color, it is golden.
This golden frog grows very fat, lying there at this time, the cheeks are bulging and shrinking, about half a catty, the spots on the frog's back are also golden, the searchlight is shining, giving people a feeling of dazzling fascination, this kind of frog Qiubai has also seen, but I have never seen such a big one, this golden frog is called the beckoning frog in the countryside, also called the golden toad.
Generally speaking, things with a golden color are good in the eyes of rural people, like this kind of beckoning frog is a kind of frog that rural people are very fond of, thinking that if you see a beckoning frog outside, then this person will go to fortune in a year, if there is such a one at home, it must be a treasure, but the beckoning frog is generally very small, even smaller than the size of the yellow ghost, like this half-catty beckoning frog Qiubai is still the first time to see.
"Don't move, it's a bamboo leaf green snake, it looks like it's going to eat a beckoning frog." Qiubai explained to Orange Orange in a low voice.
"Brother, you're wrong, it's the beckoning frog that wants to eat the bamboo leaf green snake, didn't you see the bamboo leaf green snake make a defensive posture? This is a pose that can only be performed when encountering a powerful enemy. "Orange Orange's research on biology is much more powerful than Qiu Bai's, and he can see the essence of the situation in front of him at a glance, not the snake catching frogs in Qiu Bai's imagination, but the frogs counterattacking and wanting to eat snakes.
Qiubai looked at it again, isn't that it? If it is a snake that wants to eat frogs, it will be swallowed directly into the stomach, and there is no need to bother at all, which is like now, the bamboo leaf green snake is like a great enemy, which can't help but make Qiu Bai surprised, the snake is the natural enemy of the frog, and there are frogs to eat snakes, is the world upside down?
It's not a world upside down, but nature is wonderful, in everyone's cognition, snakes are the natural enemies of frogs, but some special frogs can still eat snakes, to put it bluntly, it's just which is more powerful, snakes are stronger and can naturally eat frogs, if frogs are more powerful, then they can naturally eat snakes.
"Is the Lucky Frog so powerful? Can you make a highly poisonous bamboo-leaf green snake afraid? Orange Orange, you're a student of biology, can you tell me why? Qiu Bai asked in a low voice, Qiu Bai had seen the beckoning frog before, and felt that it was no different from an ordinary frog except for the color on his body, but today it subverted his cognition, and the beckoning frog that can make a bamboo leaf green put on a defensive posture is definitely a very powerful frog.
Orange Orange thought for a while and said: "Actually, generally speaking, bullfrogs also eat snakes, because bullfrogs are very large, so they can eat small snakes, because in the eyes of big bullfrogs, small snakes and insects are the same, beckoning frogs are also a kind of bullfrogs, brother, look at the spots on its body, this is one of the characteristics of bullfrogs, but the big snake bullfrogs also dare not provoke, especially like this bamboo leaf green snake, nearly one meter long, maybe there is something special about this beckoning frog, nature is too wonderful, and the creatures are also strange, Not to mention me, not even any biologist can say that he knows everything about living things. ”
Qiubai nodded, and said on a whim: "Didn't you say that frogs are also one of the five poisons?" Maybe this beckoning frog is one of the five poisons, will it have a poisonous surname? ”
"Quite possibly." Orange Orange didn't dare to say dead: "Just by looking at it daring to want to eat the bamboo leaf green snake, you know that this lucky frog must have something to rely on, even if it is not poisonous, it can also prevent poison." ”
A snake and a frog have nothing to say about the arrival of the two, the bamboo leaf green snake has been coiled, the snake letter in the head of the triangular snake has been swallowing, the small sharp fangs are exposed, giving people a very gloomy sense of coercion, the lucky frog is lying on the spot, the cheeks are bulging and shrinking, indicating that they are not afraid at all.
Suddenly, the beckoning frog moved, its cheeks shook, and a loud frog chirped out, and what Qiubai heard was actually Jiang Ang's cry, just like the poignant sound made when a cow was slaughtered, Qiu Bai's mind swept over a work of Master Jin, and blurted out: "Python Zhu Clam!" Sub-Olympic. ”
The powerful thighs of the python and the green clam jumped forward, and pounced straight towards the bamboo leaf green snake, I don't know if it was an illusion, Qiubai only felt that the frog swallowed a golden mist in its mouth, and the bamboo leaf green snake was covered by this fog, and it was stupid to see that it did not move, and was bitten by the python and the green clam, shook it a few times, and it seemed to be dead, and then the python and the green clam dragged the body of the bamboo leaf green snake and slowly left the bamboo forest, dived into the shallow river, and disappeared.
"Brother, what did you just say? Do you know the origin of this beckoning frog? Orange Orange came back to his senses and asked.
Qiubai looked at Orange Orange and asked strangely, "Don't you know?" Jiang Ang Jiang Ang's frog call, the python in the Tianlong Babu Zhu Clam, is too famous, known as the king of all poisons, if this beckoning frog is really that kind of thing, not to mention Zhu Yeqing, even if it is a Taipan snake, it is also a dish. ”
"Tenryu Babu? Qiao Feng: That's it? Isn't that a novel? This is in reality. ”
"Have you ever heard a saying? Life is far more precious than fiction, maybe Master Jin came across this kind of lucky frog before writing it in the book, you also said that there are many kinds of creatures, no one can know them all, this is not strange. The more Qiu Bai said, the more he felt that it made sense, and looked at the shallow river, this small river now gave him a very mysterious feeling, how could the river that could give birth to pythons and clams be underestimated, and now there was a dragon popping up in the river Qiu Bai would not be too surprised.
Orange still doesn't believe it, science madmen actually have such a problem, they only recognize the basis of reason, and they don't believe in legends or anything, but now she can't find anything to prove that it wasn't a python and a clam, so she can only refute it.
"That was so loud just now, otherwise I'd have caught it, this strange frog must be very valuable for research."
Qiubai glanced at her, "I said girl, don't tease, if it's really a python and a clam, then how far away are we, as soon as it is touched, it will turn into pus and blood, which is more bullish than turning bones into palms, and it is impossible to catch it." ”
"Brother, you really think too much, if you really touch it and it turns into pus and blood, how poisonous is it? Then it lives in a shallow river, and the water has to be all poisonous, and it can still grow plants? This is obviously not in line with science. "Orange Orange is uncompromising in this regard, and it is reasonable.
Qiu Bai didn't want to say anything more, and now he was just guessing, but Qiu Bai looked at the river and felt that he would encounter it again.
