Chapter Twenty-Three: The Serpent in the Tent
The stalls on the beach have grown larger day by day since the beginning of the landing, and the camps that had been set up in the first place have become insufficient, and the beach has been divided into four places: camping, lumber mills, brick factories, and shipyards.
The members of the military group in charge of defense work were on duty one by one in shifts, and many of them were directly at their posts and did not come back, two people stood guard in shifts, and one guard lasted for 12 hours, and a few guys from the radar station even slept directly on the ground in the radar room or cabin.
Li Jieqi was sleeping in a tent with his limbs spread out at this time, and suddenly he felt cold on his stomach in a daze. Because of the convenience of the map, most of the tents near the post are not sealed with zippers, which provides an opportunity for curious small animals around, plus there are many people in the military group who can't leave the post when eating, and the lunch box brought over has no time to clean after eating, and they are often thrown outside the tent and wait directly for the logistics team to take it away.
Li Jieqi felt that this cold feeling was quite uncomfortable, and he wanted to grab it with his hands, but somehow he suddenly remembered that he opened his eyes and glanced at it, and this glance was not tight, and he saw a green snake lying on his stomach and also sleeping.
At this time, he was suddenly drenched in cold sweat, snake...... This is the dregs of nature...... Especially in this tropics, snakes are everywhere, and he can't help but regret that he didn't check the tent carefully and close the zipper before going to bed, but it was really too late.
The snake was about a meter long, and its whole body was green, but there was no bright color on its body. At this time, it was putting its head on the end of Li Jieqi's feet, enjoying the hot stove under him, and completely regarded Li Jieqi as a warm man. He can't see the head of the snake is really anxious now, if he can't see the head of the snake, he doesn't know whether the snake is poisonous or not, this snake is generally more vigilant, and he woke it up to give himself a mouthful, and he didn't die unjustly?
Li Jieqi hooked his neck and looked at it for a while, feeling that his neck was sore and painful, so he had to put his head flat again. There was a sound of mechanical excavation in the distance, which frightened Li Jieqi and almost peed his pants, and quickly hooked his neck to look again, but fortunately, the snake was not awakened and was still asleep.
What to do? Li Jieqi's mind kept tumbling with this question. What to pick the snake away? It's impossible, as long as he makes a big move, he will inevitably wake up this snake. Do you want to call someone on duty outside? Not to mention that too loud can wake up the snake, what if there is no one outside? Still can't be bitten for no reason? As he thought, he groped around as his hand could touch it, as if he were caressing a piece of fragile tofu. Suddenly, his fingertips touched a ** thing, and he hurriedly took it gently and brought it to his face to take a look, it was actually a PHS mobile phone. This kind of smart phone customized in Huaqiangbei uses PHS frequency, but it can be wirelessly accessed through the huge wifi antenna on the beacon tower, as for "surfing the Internet", it is also relative, what they can access in the network is only the information in the server group in the entire cabinet that Li Zhe moved over. To this end, they also specially "developed" an instant messaging system, which is similar to WeChat in terms of interface and usage. So a group of people are shaking their mobile phones in the residential area every day, even if they can't eat, it's good to take a look.
At this time, Li Jieqi's heart immediately fell to the ground like a big stone, quietly turned his mobile phone to his right hand, and opened the monkey version of WeChat, and there were several people in the group online. He didn't care about what people were talking about, so he pressed it on the touch screen with one hand. "I'm Li Jieqi, and I'm in the tent at the No. 2 sentry near the brick factory, asking for support."
The feedback came immediately, only to hear a ticking sound in the mobile phone, which frightened him into the birth of one Buddha and two Buddhas Nirvana, and quickly hooked his neck to see the movement of the snake, and at the same time pressed the volume to the minimum with his fingers. Thankfully, the snake didn't move, as if in a dream.
Only then did he open WeChat with confidence, and when he saw it, there were quite a few people who replied to the message.
"What happened?"
"Is there a Ming army coming to attack?"
"What Ming army, obviously a military army."
"Isn't the Wu Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty the same thing? The emperor's surname is Zhu. ”
"But what is written on the banner is martial arts. It is only right to call the Wu Dynasty a country based on martial arts! ”
"Isn't that still learning from the Great Han Dynasty to establish a country? Why don't you call it Han Jun? ”
"What does the name of the emperor have to do with the dynasty? The emperor's surname is Zhu, but I didn't see it, and it was called Zhu Chao......"
Li Jieqi's heart was dripping blood at this time...... You can only continue to press the touch screen.
"I have a snake in my stomach that I can't handle alone, and I need support."
", how did the snake get to your stomach when you were standing there?"
", of course I climbed up in my sleep, I said last time that the tent had to be zipped."
"Now you say it's a fart, and now the snakes have crawled on his stomach, so if any of you have time, hurry over and go there."
"Wait, the landlord sent a picture to take a look? Maybe it's making us happy. ”
If Li Jieqi hadn't had a snake on his stomach, I'm afraid he would have jumped three feet high a long time ago. I'm full, why are I lying to you? He thought angrily as he quietly raised his camera and took a picture in the direction of the snake, and then pressed send.
The snake, which had not been woken up by the prompt sound of the mobile phone and the sound of machinery in the distance, was awakened by this small shutter sound, and it suddenly straightened up and looked around, feeling that it had changed a lot from before he went to bed just now, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Li Jieqi's face while spitting out the letter. At this point, he was almost about to pee his pants, and the green snake head swam towards him with a letter, making him feel creepy, and soon he felt the cold, slippery scales rubbing against his neck. The snake swirled around his neck, then slid over his face, and finally felt as if there was no threat, so he shrank back into Li Jieqi's stomach and went to sleep. As something clicked and fell on Li Jieqi's left palm, he was startled, but he still didn't dare to move, he pinched it with his hand, it was damp, it seemed to have some meat, it was estimated that it was something spit out by a snake, and he quickly raised his hand and bounced this thing out of the unlocked door with two fingers.
The next few minutes felt longer than a century, and he didn't dare to take pictures anymore, only quietly holding his phone in one hand and glancing at the snake on his stomach.
"What does a snakehead look like? Round or pointed? If it's round, you just pull it out and throw it out, it's non-toxic. ”
"Damn, how can you see it on your stomach? It's a waste of time for you to post this now. ”
"Why can't you see it when it's coiled on your stomach? I'll show you. The speaker also accompanied a photograph of him because he didn't have a snake at hand, so he got a belt and rolled it up a few times and put it on his belly.
Li Jieqi was really crying and laughing at this time...... The shutter sound of this mobile phone can't be closed, this snake seems to be particularly sensitive to the shutter sound, otherwise take a photo and see it, just now the snake was too nervous when he slid over his face, he didn't see it clearly, what should he do?
"It's been so long, has anyone come?" Li Jieqi is already on the verge of collapse.
"Huh? yes, who went to the brick factory? ”
"I don't, I'm too busy here......"
"I can't leave the work at hand, and if I do, it will cause a loss to the crossing work."
At this time, his tears were about to fall, and this large group of people were blaming each other, but none of them came. Soon several calls came, all of which he had pressed down, but the man seemed to be very persistent and kept calling. Li Jieqi couldn't help but harass it, so he added this number to the blacklist, but it seemed that there was a different landline phone calling, and he couldn't help but secretly swear that he would catch this calling TJJ to death when he went out.
"By the way, Beiwei came back from the observation post a few hours ago, it seems that I saw him go to the brick factory just now, did you go to save Li Jieqi?"
"I don't know, call him?"
The group was quiet for half a minute, and soon there was news back.
"Yes, Beiwei went to Li Jieqi, but he said that he couldn't find the location of the No. 2 post, and he didn't answer Li Jieqi's phone."
", can he take it? If you wake up the snake, you won't be bitten to death? ”
"That's right, I'll call him quickly."
After a short while, there was a sound of soft footsteps in the distance, and a few minutes later, two heads stuck out from the tent door, it was Beiwei and Wu Yong. Looking at the snake, Beiwei shook his head, and the two of them retracted their heads again. It seemed to be discussing something softly outside the tent, and after a while, Beiwei tiptoed over with a branch, and was about to poke the snake with the branch, when he was suddenly pulled by Wu Yong, Wu Yong took out his mobile phone, and took a photo of Li Jieqi and the snake who didn't dare to move, as well as Beiwei who was posing at the camera.
Something unexpected happened, the snake seemed to be very sensitive to the sound of the shutter, it suddenly straightened its neck and looked around, feeling that there were many more threats around it, and shrank next to Li Jieqi's head, resting its belly on his neck and making a vigilant posture outside the tent. Li Jieqi was already terrified to the extreme at this time, let out a "whoosh" shout, got up with his hands dancing, and rushed towards the tent door. But the snake moved faster, and just when Li Jieqi got up, he bit the back of his hand, and he suddenly felt a numbness in the back of his hand, and his legs were weak in fright, and he tripped over the door of the tent, and fell in front of the tent with a pop. Beiwei's eyes were quick, he grabbed the snake's seven inches, pinched it tightly and didn't dare to let go, and checked Li Jieqi's hand with the other hand.
