Chapter 523: White Snake
Although the second uncle drained the water in the field two days ago, standing inside, he could still step on the shallow mud pit, which brought some trouble to the harvesting work. However, this is much better than some paddy fields that still have water in them.
The threshing machine roared, and Zhou Furong, Chen Wu, Li Quan, and Xu Hao took turns stepping on it, so there was still a certain amount of time to buffer, and I didn't feel too tired. If you keep pedaling with your feet, make sure they don't want to do it for half an hour.
The second uncle was in the back, and he took out as many seedlings and leaves as possible in the barn. It didn't take long for the small barn to be filled with a large pile of grain. The second uncle took the basket, dug out the grain, and put it into the basket. After filling a load, pick it up and go to the sunning valley.
Chu Jiaqiang originally wanted to ask the two girls to go to the special grain drying area, but the second uncle said that he didn't need to, he was too busy. It's already easy today, so many people. In previous years, with my two in-laws and one or two children, that was hard work, and almost everything had to be experienced by myself.
"Xiaobao, what are you doing catching so many bugs?" Ye Caiping saw Xiaobao catching insects in front of her, and asked puzzledly. It's understandable that children like to play with bugs, but don't you have to catch so much?
"I'm going to catch it back and give it to the chickens, they like it." Xiaobao said to everyone.
Half a month ago, another batch of chicks hatched, and these chicks just like to eat bugs. Xiaobao saw that some children in the village would also catch insects and feed the chickens, so he also imitated them.
"We have rats in this field, too! You see. Ye Qijun found that some rice was eaten by mice, and there were some broken straws and some husks of grain left on the ground.
Rats have the best ability to steal food, and if it were humans, it would not be easy to peel the husks of the millet and eat the rice inside. But for the rats. It's like eating lettuce.
"Huh! There will definitely be, but as long as the spoils are not very bad, we will turn a blind eye and ignore them. The second aunt smiled. That's so much, almost all rice fields will be frequented by rats, and you can still watch your rice all day long?
As long as it's not very powerful. The countryside generally chooses silence. When it is ruined, the disaster is eliminated. Sometimes, when rats are rampant, a piece of rice, a third of which is cut off by them, eats a full meal in your field, and then drags away the ears of rice on it, and that's what makes you hate it.
When rats are particularly rampant, farmers install electricity and pull iron wires on the ridges. All-nighters electric rats at night. Chu Jiaqiang remembered that one year, a rat with a big bucket of electricity in one night, it was really terrifying!
"There's a hole here, it's supposed to be a rat's hole, and there's a rice husk at the mouth of the hole!" Chen Xiang suddenly pointed to a corner. It was discovered that there was indeed a lot of millet husk left at the mouth of the cave. I even saw some rat droppings. Seeing this, everyone knows that it must be a rat hole.
Ye Qijun made a piece of mud in the field, and then sealed the hole, this guy's idea is a little naïve, he wants to block other people's rats like this, is it possible?
"Don't waste your energy. Even if this hole is the only entrance and exit, if people can dig into it, they can naturally dig it out. Chu Jiaqiang said.
Although rats are notorious, they do have some skills. I don't want some people to just brag.
"A fire will start and smoke them out." Zhou Furong immediately suggested that in the previous year, they did not do such a thing. Together with some tourists, it is considered that the rats are unlucky to go around. As a result, some rats had to move into the mountains and come out to look for food when they were hungry.
The monkey also leaned over, dug out the piece of mud that Ye Qijun had stuffed into, and then leaned over and aimed at the entrance of the cave, as if to find out the situation inside.
This guy also has nothing to do all day long, so he likes to do these "stealing chickens and touching dogs" things. Everyone was speechless when they saw it.
After looking at it for a while, the guy put his hand inside. It's not big in its hands, just enough to fit in. However, it is impossible for people to go straight into the rat hole, and the inside is bent and bent, and the monkey's hand does not have that ability.
After a while, the monkey's face became very exciting. Everyone wondered, only to see the monkey instantly retract his hand. Everyone was startled and saw the monkey's hand biting a snake.
The snake was actually a very rare white snake, and when we saw its huge belly, everyone guessed that the rats inside should have been eaten by it.
Several girls were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged away, and they all had a natural fear of snakes, mice, cockroaches, etc. Even Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but stand on end.
The serpent has a bad reputation, and most of the old, young, and sick are terrified and deeply disturbed when they hear or see it occasionally. Some people even have a sensitive reaction when they hear about snakes, and they suddenly feel terrified and have goosebumps all over their bodies, so that they go into shock.
Professor Wen and other animal experts have previously explained to Chu Jiaqiang and others that this is due to a loss of psychological balance due to fear, and more importantly, due to a misunderstanding of snakes themselves. As a result of these unscientific prejudices, many snakes have been hunted and killed for no reason while searching for food, sunbathing, finding mates, mating, climbing trees and playing, lying in caves, and perching on firewood stacks.
"It's actually a relatively rare white snake, hey! Ay! Stop it! Fu Shenglin hurriedly said. When he saw that the monkey wanted to get rid of the white snake, but he couldn't get rid of it, the monkey was angry, and if he caught the seven inches of the white snake, he wanted to catch it. The monkey's nails are sharper, and if you catch it, the snake may die.
He hurriedly stepped forward and took down the white snakes, which were also very precious. After he was caught, he had to send it to the research institute to see when an expedition team would enter the mountain, and by the way, he would bring it in and release him.
"White snakes are also a type of snake? It's quite famous, it's often shown on TV, isn't there any white snake legend? Li Quan asked.
Professor Wen explained: "The so-called white snake mostly refers to snakes with albino on the body, which are generally divided into two types: non-venomous and venomous, and their scales are mostly milky white and have no patterns. The white snake is a relatively rare snake, and people generally believe that the white snake is a spiritual animal, called the spirit snake. ”
Therefore, the white snake is not considered a class of snakes, but has mutated from other snakes.
The venomous white snakes belong to the mutant species of cobras, and their poison is highly venomous. The head is triangular, the snake's skin is pure white and pale pink, the snake's eyes are golden, the tongue is red, the body is relatively thick, and the abdomen is transparent, and the internal organs can be seen. The snake glows brightly in the sunlight, its two golden eyes are intimidating, and its bright red and flexible tongue is sometimes spit out.
The non-venomous white snake is a subspecies of the highly venomous white snake, with a smaller body and a more sleek head than the highly venomous white snake; Like the emerald snake, it is a very docile and non-venomous snake.
