422 The island is attacked by snakes and eagles
The 422 island is attacked by snakes and eagles
After a long jolt, the boat was finally stable, and people often let out a sigh. But Zhang Shun and Yu Deshui were even more nervous, and the clouds on the horizon rolled up, which was a precursor to the coming storm. It is necessary to find an island to dock on before the big storm arrives, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Shi Qian climbed onto the mast and looked around, and vaguely noticed a small island to the southeast. Zhang Shun and the others were overjoyed, and commanded the ship to move at full speed, and about half an hour, came to the island. The two boats were parked and anchored.
Zhu Yun is young, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, the first one jumped.
"Be careful!" Yu Deshui shouted.
"Jump off the ground, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Zhu Yun jumped into the grass in a few steps, and he wanted to make it easier.
As soon as he pulled out the dick and was about to release the water, a black snake pounced on him. Zhu Yun was very clever, and took the guy back with a shake, and the urine was scared back. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the snake by seven inches, and with a pinch, he pinched the snake to death.
He killed a black snake, but three snakes attacked him, red and white, coming from different directions. Zhu Yun was terrified, jumped backwards, and left the grass.
"My mother, this snake is too powerful!" Zhu Yun shouted.
Yu Deshui also went to the island, carrying a stick in his hand. Zhang Shun also came up, carrying a stick in his hand. Zhang Shun is invincible in the water, but he knows how powerful the snake is. Once in the silver island of Tatehuating, he was almost bitten to death by a snake, and he still has palpitations when he thinks about it.
Everyone got off the boat and went to the island. Zhang Shun and others tied the two boats to a big tree with ropes.
"Don't go inside, let's wait to find out." Yu Deshui instructed.
Yu Deshui led seven or eight sailors, each with a stick and a pocket, and circled along the island. When they returned, each man had five or six snakes in his pocket.
"This island is not big, but it is a snake island, and it is full of poisonous snakes. The most powerful is a pit viper, which is highly venomous, and if it is bitten, it will die in half an hour. Yu Deshui pinched the seven inches of a belly snake and showed it to everyone.
Quite a few stuck out their tongues. The serpent was about two feet long, with a triangular head, a thin neck, a grayish-brown back, a row of black-brown round spots on each side, and a grayish-brown belly with black and white spots.
"What do these snakes eat to live?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
"They eat rats, birds, frogs, lizards, whatever they have on the island...... Yu Deshui explained.
"What can eat snakes?"
"Birds of prey such as eagles, eagles, hornbills, and vultures can eat snakes......"
While everyone was talking, an eagle flew through the air.
"Can this big bird eat snakes?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
"That's the bald eagle, one of the natural enemies of snakes, and an absolute snake catcher." Yu Deshui stretched out his thumb and said.
Bald eagles are expert pilots. They can fly at speeds of 56 to 70 kilometres per hour when gliding and flaring their wings, and can still reach speeds of up to 48 kilometres per hour if they catch fish while flying. Good vision makes it easier for them to see where their prey is hiding. Something that appears to humans to be nothing more than a ball of beige fur can be clearly identified by a bald eagle as five squirrels of different colors.
Bald eagles have claws to kill animals and hooked beaks to tear animals, and the soles of their feet are as rough as sandpaper. This helps them to grip prey that has a slippery body, such as fish or snakes. Relative to the size of their bodies, bald eagles have big enough feet – 15 centimeters long......
"Hey, another bald eagle!" Zhao Chen screamed.
"Bald eagles generally travel in pairs and fight side by side." Yu Deshui explained.
Two bald eagles hovered around the island for a while, and one swooped down and disappeared. A short time later, two bald eagles flew out of the island, one of them holding a large snake. They landed on a rock not far away, and the two eagles clung to the five-foot-long snake.
At first, the snake was moving, struggling. Two bald eagles press their heads and the other on the snake's tail, and the middle of the snake curves back and forth.
The bald eagle came out of its mouth, and its sharp beak with the tip of the eagle hook unceremoniously pecked at the snake. The skin of the snake was torn open, and piece by piece of snake flesh went into the belly of the bald eagle. In a matter of moments, a terrifying snake was eaten clean by two bald eagles.
The two bald eagles had eaten their fill, looked at the people a few times, looked very contemptuous, and flew away proudly.
"It's really a brine tofu - one thing drops one thing!" Shi Qian gritted his teeth and sighed.
"Uncle Shi, go steal a few snake eggs!" Zhu Yun said with a smile.
"I dare to steal people and steal treasures, but I don't dare to steal snake eggs, let it bite and die."
Although they went to the island, they couldn't go inside, and everyone was still very anxious.
"I'll take a look." Yu Deshui led a few sailors and walked cautiously towards the island with sticks.
"Be careful!" Everyone advised.
After a long time, Yu Deshui waited for him to come back and bring good news. At the top of the island there is a large rock in the shape of a mouth, where you can spend the night. Everyone took food and fresh water, and climbed the mouth stone along the road opened up by Yu Deshui and others. In order to prevent the snake from attacking, two people from the south, east, west, and northwest were sent to kill the incoming snake at any time with wooden sticks.
The wind was blowing, and the sea was striking the island violently. The waves rose higher and higher, and sometimes they collapsed like a wall. The loud sound was like thunder. The children got into the arms of the adults, too frightened to look up. This night was very difficult, relying on the large number of people, and each other emboldened each other to usher in the dawn.
The sun rises in the east, illuminating the island red.
Hu Sanniang stood at the highest point and looked around. She looked at a larger island to the southeast and was overjoyed. Zhang Shun and Yu Deshui also saw it, it must be the home they are looking for.
The sky was clear, the wind stopped, the waves were small, and everyone's hearts suddenly brightened. happily get down from the island and go to live on a bigger island.
When they reached the bottom of the island, everyone's hearts were half cold. A boat was almost gone, except for two planks, which were led by ropes and drifted in the water.
The other vessel was slightly injured. Zhang Shun and Yu Deshui are on the water, and the boat will be overhauled, and it can still be used.
Hu Sanniang decided to take Zhang Shun, Hua Rong, Lu Wei and more than a dozen sailors to explore the big island first, and then make the next decision according to the situation.
"Owner of the village, take me with you!" Shi Qian jumped on the boat.
Hu Sanniang thought about it, Shi Qian was more clever and good at climbing, so she let him go with him.
There was almost no wind, the sea was relatively calm, and the boat was moving at a constant speed. Shi Qian couldn't stay idle, climbed the mast, hit the pergola, and watched like a monkey.
Several seabirds followed the boat, and two of them flew to the left and right of the time, cooing and chirping. They greeted him as if he were a monkey they had once met......
