Chapter 085: The Snake Catcher
In the afternoon, dozens of snake catchers came near the Snake King Temple, and the formation, just like a man who had just been released from prison saw a woman, his eyes lit up when he saw the snake, and he swarmed up.
The snake catcher is highly skilled, holding a special clamp in his hand, which is fast and accurate, and can pick up a large snake with each shot, and then put it in the bamboo basket he carries with him.
There are many snakes near the Snake King Temple, and the snake catchers quickly fill the baskets, and there is no need to go all the way into the city to sell goods, there is a temporary trading market outside Qin Fei's snack bar, and the government also sent officials to maintain order at the scene.
The buyers include the owner of the restaurant and the merchant of medicinal herbs, the owner of the restaurant will make snake soup, and the merchant of medicinal herbs will make the medicinal herbs and sell them to other places.
Qin Fei looked at this lively scene, and also wanted to buy two big snakes, make soup at night, and became addicted to eating, so he stopped at all.
But an old man sent a basket of the fattest poisonous snake to Qin Fei: "Thank you Engong for killing the snake king and giving me a way to live for the snake catcher in Xiagou Village, please accept the thin gift." ”
The snake catchers in Xiagou Village have heard the ins and outs, in fact, they don't hate the county's ban on fishing, after all, the snake king has become a jing, and the snake catchers in Xiagou Village have also been retaliated against.
Now that Qin Fei has killed the snake king and invented a way to eat snakes, there is no need to worry about the sales of snakes in the future, Xiagou Village has the capital to live, how can you not be grateful.
This basket of poisonous snakes is the most valuable snake that the village chief of Xiagou Village took from each snake catcher, and it can be sold for several taels of silver when it is resold and all used to thank Qin Fei.
Qin Fei was disrespectful, so he accepted it.
......
Ah Ming is fifteen years old this year, a teenager who grew up in Xiagou Village, don't look at him young, his snake catching skills are not inferior to those veterans at all.
Dig snake holes, put ground cages, make clips, these means are perfect.
He caught hundreds of big snakes today alone and sold them for a lot of money.
Even if there is no threat from the snake king, snake hunting is also a high-risk profession, try not to start work in a bad sight.
Armin unloaded a basket of snakes and said, "I found a snake nest, and I took it back as soon as I took it." ”
The old village chief knows why Ah Ming is fighting so hard, it is one thing for young people to be energetic, mainly because Ah Ming's father used to catch snakes and was bitten on the leg, although he saved his life, but his lower body was paralyzed, and the livelihood of the whole family was pressed on Ah Ming.
"Okay, just dig out the last snake nest. The old village chief also arranged for two people to go into the woods with Amin.
The sky became darker and darker, and the snake catchers came out of the mountains and forests one by one, and the old village chief counted the number of people, and sent Ah Ming and them.
At this moment, Amin was reled: "Village chief, Amin was bitten by a snake." ”
The village chief looked anxious, and told him to be careful, but someone was still injured, and he knew that this was the case, so he shouldn't let Ah Ming enter the mountain again.
Hurriedly put the person on the flat ground, the village chief checked the injury, Ah Ming was bitten on the left calf, although the companions helped to suck out part of the snake venom, and tied the entire thigh with a rope to prevent the spread of snake venom.
But Amin's condition is not optimistic, and his lips are all blue.
"Do you see what snake bites?" roared the village chief.
The companions were ashamed, one said that the light was too dark to see clearly, and the other said that it was a snake that he had never seen.
The old village chief hesitated for a moment, then took out the ancestral snake medicine, which can cure most of the snake venom, but I hope it works.
After taking it externally and internally, Ah Ming did not get any better, but screamed in pain.
"Hospital. The old village chief's heart sank, the ancestral snake medicine was useless, and it was estimated that there was no way to send it to the hospital, but he couldn't give up.
"I'm the one who runs the medical clinic, show me. "There was a snake collector who didn't leave, and directly helped diagnose the pulse.
After Lang Zhong carefully examined it, he pondered for a moment: "This snake venom is rare, and now there is only one way, seal the tail vertebral points with silver needles, and then open an opening to release the poisonous blood, but in this way, the legs will not be able to have strength in the future." ”
Although this result is a bit cruel to the young Amin, but in this line of work, he should have the consciousness of being bitten by a snake one day.
It's better to have your legs wasted than to die, the old village chief gritted his teeth: "There is Mr. Lao." ”
Ah Ming was a little sober at this time, with tears in his eyes, he was still a child after all, so he would naturally be afraid, so the old village chief comforted him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ah Ming suddenly pulled out a knife from his waist and stabbed his injured leg.
"What are you doing!" the old village chief snatched it with all his might.
Ah Ming's voice choked: "If you can't move your legs in the back, how to take care of Daddy, it's better to cut off this injured leg, at least one leg can be used!"
"You ......" the old village chief's eyes were red, this child was not afraid of pain, but afraid of not being able to support his family.
Cutting off the injured leg can indeed remove snake venom, but in this era, there is no anesthetic, and there is no suitable tool, and people's leg bones can only be sawed with saws.
"With us here, will there be less food for your family?" the old village chief finally relented, "Come two people, press him for me." ”
Qin Fei heard the noise outside, so he came out to take a look at the situation, only to know that someone had been bitten by a snake.
Liu Zongyuan once wrote an article "The Snake Catcher Says", which reflected the hardships of snake catchers, if there is another livelihood, who would risk their lives to catch snakes?
When Qin Fei saw it with his own eyes, he felt even more frightened.
"Don't do it yet, show me. Out of compassion, Qin Fei walked over.
Although he doesn't know how to heal, the system can analyze the characteristics of the ingredients, and can know what kind of poisonous snake bite it is, and there may be a better way to prescribe the right medicine.
Because Qin Fei was a fierce man who killed the snake king, and his prestige was very high, the old village chief nodded: "There is Lao Qin Gongzi." ”
Qin Fei dipped his finger in Ah Ming's poisonous blood, and the system analyzed it.
"Do you see anything famous?" Lang Zhong asked, "If I delay a little longer, my technique of sealing the acupoint and bloodletting will not work." ”
"Don't bother so much, this kid can be saved, wait for me for a while. Qin Fei thought it would be good to know the name of the biting venomous snake, but unexpectedly, the system was very powerful at the critical moment, and he also found a way to restrain this snake venom.
Among the poisonous snakes sent by the old village chief before, there was a very poisonous snake, but its snake gall could dissolve the snake venom in Ah Ming.
All things are mutually reinforcing, which is really mysterious.
After a while, Qin Fei took the snake gall bladder and prepared to feed it to Ah Ming.
Lang Zhong hurriedly stopped: "Wait, although snake gall bladder can detoxify, it can't detoxify snake venom, and it will aggravate the toxicity of snake venom, Your Excellency is too child's play, right?"
Lang Zhong said this, both out of professionalism and because of his authority, he was provoked.
Qin Fei said to Ah Ming: "You were bitten by a ghost-faced snake, this is the snake gall of the Heavenly Thunder Snake, which can treat the symptoms and detoxify." ”
Lang Zhong didn't quite know this correspondence, but he snorted coldly: "How do you know that he was bitten by a ghost-faced snake?"
Snakes are strange, and the wounds that have been bitten by snakes are similar, and professional snake catchers can't tell the difference.
However, Qin Fei didn't explain again, just looked at Ah Ming: "Trust me, you will be fine." ”
Ah Ming is a person who dares to chop his legs so hard that he just eats a snake gall, so he swallows the snake gall with a bang.
