Chapter Seventy-Four: The Green Bamboo Snake
Today's matter is delayed, it is late, everyone understands! On the first day of Sanjiang, I hope everyone collects and recommends Sanjiang votes! Please. At the same time, thank you to wujia1230, *unknown life* and Ding Meixiong for their support and reward!
On that day, the old village chief led a group of middle-aged and young people to Zhushan again. Chu Jiaqiang naturally couldn't be lazy, and followed with a scimitar. Guys usually take two kinds of tools, and those are two kinds of knives. One is a scimitar, and the other is a machete with a straight blade. A machete is generally used to cut bamboo, and a scimitar is generally used to cut branches and broken tails.
Among them, the scimitar cannot be cut to the end because of the blade, while the machete can be cut on the ground. Also, machetes are generally several times heavier than scimitars, making it easy to cut things. Scimitar is more popular for cutting grass and the like, and it is more expensive than sharpness.
At this time, Xiao Jin also followed, and when he returned to Zhushan, the little guy seemed very happy, and he was very active as soon as he entered the bamboo forest. It's no wonder that this was once its home, and if you can't say it's going to come back, it's a great pleasure.
Again, there is a group of kids who are not doing their jobs and are here to mischievous.
"If our eyes are fine, we will cut the old bamboo, pick some big ones, and don't cut them when we see them." The old village chief personally led the team this time, also carrying a knife and a towel on his shoulder to wipe sweat.
As soon as he came up, he reminded everyone that the people present had grown up in the mountains, so they could naturally recognize those as old bamboos. Looking at the age of bamboo, it is generally from three aspects.
First, look at the leaves. Generally speaking, the leaves of bamboo change color once a year, or every two years, and this cycle is called one degree. Yellow and tender are 1-3 years old. After 3 years, the leaves are a little dark green, and the lines of the leaves are clearer. Confucius said: One year is green, two years is green, and three years is yellow.
The second is to look at the bamboo poles, 1-year-old bamboo shoots have residues at the base, and the stalks are white. Pink, twice white. There is no powder, the third degree of bamboo, the color becomes dark cyan, mainly depends on the experience, and the bamboo stalks above the fourth degree are yellow and black.
Third, some people also look at the bamboo knots and bamboo knots, generally speaking, the bamboo knots and bamboo branches are dense, and the age may be older.
"You naughty eggs, go aside, be careful that the bamboo falls on you when it falls." A man shouted that when he was cutting bamboo by himself just now, these little guys rushed up desperately, almost crushing people, making him so worried. If you look closely, you will see that there is a bird's nest on Takeo.
The bird's nest was newly made, and Chu Jiaqiang knew that there was nothing in it at a glance. In fact, many of those children know that the owner of the bird's eggs they often dig for is well aware of the bird's nest. It's just that everyone is just having fun and having fun.
When the old village chief heard the scolding, he immediately opened his mouth to train people: "You children hurry up and go farther, there will be more than enough success and more failure!" ”
Those children scattered in a hurry, although they were reprimanded, there was no trace of displeasure on their faces, and the realm had reached a certain level. Don't be afraid to scold at all, don't scold, just hit people, at most it is to deter them for a while, and within two hours, it is estimated that they forget the pain again, and they are naughty everywhere.
Suddenly, Chu Jiaqiang felt a strong sense of danger coming. As soon as he turned around, his scalp immediately exploded, and he got goosebumps all over his body. I saw a green bamboo snake with the size of a thumb and a length of seventy or eighty centimeters next to him, staring at him coldly, and the snake hyacinth spit out from time to time.
Chu Jiaqiang felt that his feet were weak, he was born in the Year of the Snake, but he was afraid of snakes, he was born afraid of snakes, it was a grass and flower snake that was not poisonous, and he was walking around when he saw it.
The green bamboo snake is a venomous snake with a triangular head and a thin neck, resembling a soldering iron. The top of the head is finely scaled, and there are cheek sockets on the side of the snout. The upper jaw is highly toxic only. dorsal body bright green, with inconspicuous black transverse bands; The abdomen is yellowish-white. There is a white stripe on the outermost part of the body from the neck to the tail; The upper lip is yellowish-white. internasal scales; There are usually no scales between the nasal scales and the buccal fossa.
Inhabit the mountainous area of the damp stream, weeds and shrubs and bamboo forests, because of the green body color and good at winding tail, very suitable for tree life, they often hang or climb on the branches or bamboo branches by the stream, the body color and habitat environment are green, very difficult to find. Sometimes they are also entrenched in stones, with their heads facing the stream, and if they are disturbed, they slowly swim into the water. It is active both day and night, and more frequent at night.
In rural areas, the strength of snake venom is generally judged by the head of the snake. If the snake head is round, it is generally not poisonous, or the poison is relatively weak, and the snake is triangular, that is a highly venomous snake.
In Chujiazhai, the green bamboo snake is known as the second most venomous snake.
The first is the dustpan armor, which is also known as the nine-section Zhang back spine is not raised, and the tail end is sharp. The head is oval, less distinct from the neck, and the back is typically covered with 9 large scales. A venomous snake with anterior groove teeth. black or blue-black on the back, with narrow transverse stripes of white or creamy yellow; The ventral surface is stained white. The dorsum of the head is black-brown, the dorsal occipital has a light-colored inverted "V"-shaped spot, and the middle row of ridge scales is enlarged and hexagonal.
Many people may not know the dustpan armor, but it also has a thunderous name, that is, the silver krait. The silver krait snake is one of the famous edible snakes, the snake body is soaked or dried, the snake gall bladder can be used in medicine, hatching 7-30 days of young snakes coiled and dried after being called "money white flower snake", it is a famous traditional Chinese medicinal material, so a large number of people have been killed over the years, and the young snakes are unfortunately spared. At present, the wild state is rare. Although some people have started farming, it has not yet been farmed.
The silver krait is the most venomous snake in our country, the danger is extremely high, and it usually seems to be very docile, which makes people relax their vigilance, but the silver krait never warns when it bites.
Both snakes are quite venomous and are almost rumored to be incurable.
The Chu family jumped to the side violently, and the people around were taken aback and asked what was going on.
Chu Jiaqiang's voice trembled a little and said, "Green Bamboo Snake, everyone be careful. ”
Those children actually came up one by one to watch, and they were much stronger than the Chu family. It stands to reason that people who grew up in the countryside are generally not afraid of snakes, but Chu Jiaqiang is a freak, not only feeling that snakes are disgusting, but also very cold.
The old village chief was also taken aback and hurriedly drove away all the children who did not want to die.
"What? Didn't get bitten, right? The old village chief said with a pale face, and his biggest fear was that someone would be bitten. Back then, someone in his village was bitten by a dustpan armor, but fortunately, that guy was smart and immediately rushed to the old Taoist priest to save his life in time. But I heard that a person in the next village was bitten by a green bamboo snake the year before last, and he was sent to the hospital and hung up. In these places, they are most afraid of these two kinds of snakes.
Chu Jiaqiang's face looked pale, and people who didn't know really thought that he had been bitten, no wonder the old village chief was so worried.
"No, it's good that I found out early."
Hearing this, everyone was relieved. Everyone pressed the snake's head with bamboo, and then smashed the snake's backbone, especially in a seven-inch place, as the so-called: hit the snake and hit the seven-inch!
In the past, Chu Jiaqiang heard a very terrifying story told by the old people in the village, which was about the revenge of snakes. Snakes are said to have a strong vindictive mentality. Once upon a time there was a man who chopped wood and hit a snake, but this man was inexperienced and the snake did not die. Two years later, the man got married, and on the night of the wedding, the snake slipped into his new house and killed the man in the middle of the night.
When this happened, the old village chief immediately told everyone to watch everything, especially those children who had a headache.
