Volume 2 Southern Xinjiang Different Mounds Chapter 74 Horse Snake
When we lowered our heads and were mourning in silence for Zhang Jiuxi's passing, the sound of "hissing" suddenly came from the silence around. This voice is not unfamiliar to us, and this is the third time it has appeared in our vicinity.
"Snakes! It's that black viper again! "Ergou was the first to find the location of the poisonous snake. Not far in front of us, I saw a black viper about the same size as the previous two coiled there.
"Just in time! Before, we said that if this snake appeared again, we would use it as rations, but I didn't expect it to really send it to the door by itself! Cheng Siyuan didn't have much friendship with Zhang Jiuxi, and the sadness was only a flash, and now he saw the snake and was immediately attracted to it. Flicking his sleeve on his arm, he walked over to the snake, pulling the knife out of his calf.
The snake saw Cheng Siyuan leaning towards it with a knife, not dodging, not dodging, or attacking, just spitting out the letter and standing there. Until Cheng Siyuan cut off its head with a knife, it didn't move.
The altar wondered and said to me, "Do you think the snake is stupid?" Someone kills it and doesn't know how to hide? ”
"It stands to reason that if someone enters the range of a snake's attack, it will attack? How can there be no reaction at all? Xu Yunshu also didn't understand the snake's behavior.
"Hehe~ There is snake soup to eat!" Cheng Siyuan inserted the knife back into his calf, and reached out to pick up the snake corpse. Just as he was about to touch the snake corpse, Cheng Siyuan felt a sudden pain on the back of his hand. He immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly jumped back. He lifted his arm and looked at his hand, and saw that there was blood running down it. He gently touched the wound and felt that it was slippery and greasy, and he didn't know what it was.
"Why, I was bitten by that dead snake jumping up?" Ergou thought that it was the snake that was hacked to death by Cheng Siyuan and was dying, so he came up and asked him with concern.
Cheng Siyuan shook his head: "It's not that snake, it's something else!" "His heart is really a little hairy, if he is really bitten by a poisonous snake, and there is no serum to inject here, there is only one way to die.
"It's a lizard!" Ergou pointed to the side of the snake corpse and shouted.
Cheng Siyuan hurriedly looked over there and saw a lizard the size of an adult's arm guarding next to the snake corpse. Seeing the lizards, Cheng Siyuan's heart was finally relieved, because most of the lizards were not poisonous.
"This damn reptile actually bit Lao Tzu for a meal, see if I don't break your body into pieces later!" Cheng Siyuan scolded hatefully while wiping the blood on his hands. Although lizards are not poisonous, they have a large number of bacteria in their mouths, and they are extremely prone to wound infection if they are not treated in time. These things are still relatively clear to Cheng Siyuan and others, who have been in the wild all year round.
"Huh? How could this lizard be here, could it be that this yellow finch is addicted? "I also felt strange when I saw that lizard.
"It's not good if you develop the habit of getting something for nothing, if you let it taste the sweetness, and then think about the pie all day long, and don't go out to hunt, just think about waiting for the rabbit, this must not starve to death?" The jar said nonsense, "Hey~ Why did you say that this lizard appeared here so coincidentally, has it been following us?" ”
"How do you know it's the lizard from before, maybe it's another one, it's just a coincidence that it's here!" Xu Yunshu disagrees with me and Tanzi.
"That's ...... too" I carefully observed the lizard again, and I also felt that what Xu Yunshu said made sense, "The lizard we saw before has sound limbs, and this one just has no hind legs!" ”
"Maybe it's just broken......" Tanzi said unconvinced.
We kept the flashlight in the direction of the snake corpse and the lizard, and just then, the lizard that had been facing away from us also turned its head and let me see what it was. This lizard only has one eye, and it is also a one-eyed lizard, it is exactly the same as the one-eyed lizard I saw before, and even the blind eye is the same one, which makes me wonder, this is the lizard from before, but how could its legs be broken?
The lizard behaved the same as before, and after picking up two snake corpses in one bite, it escaped with great speed and rushed into the hole. Despite the fact that the lizard had a broken leg, its speed was not affected at all, even faster than when its limbs were intact.
My flashlight followed the lizard's movements, and in the bright light, I seemed to see two purple-red marks on the snake's corpse, lighter than its own color.
"That'......" I was a little skeptical, but I wasn't sure about it. I tried my best to recall the two poisonous snakes that Park Yinan and Ergou hacked to death before, and the knife towards where they were placed, as if it was the location of the two purple-red marks. If that's the case, this snake is simply the first snake before, and it doesn't know why it broke off and came back to life......
"If it weren't for that lizard's speed, I would have stayed with it to make soup! Dead lizard, don't let me see it again, or I'll kill it! Cheng Siyuan was angry as he walked forward, of course, no matter who was bitten for no reason, he would not be in a good mood.
"Snake ...... Dead...... Snake...... Coming back from the dead......" I followed the team and muttered quietly, but Xu Yunshu beside me noticed my strange appearance.
"You...... You okay? Xu Yunshu asked me with concern.
"Poor ghost, what's wrong with you?" The jar also came over.
"I remember!" I raised my head and screamed, startling Tan Zi and Xu Yunshu.
"What's wrong with you? A moment of wilting and a moment of surprise and then startling? The altar complained and said.
"What do you remember?" Xu Yunshu saw that I seemed to know something, so she asked me.
Hearing my shout, Pu Yifan, Situ Feng, Ma Xiwen and others who were walking in front also looked back.
"I remember what this lizard is called?" I say.
"What's it, what's it?" The jar asked.
"Horse snake!" I say.
"Cut~ What did I think?" The jar said disdainfully, "Who doesn't know that the lizard is called a horse snake in the vernacular, what is there to make a fuss about?" ”
Park Yifan and the others said this when they saw that I was holding back for a long time, so they also turned their heads away and stopped paying attention.
"You know what!" I refuted the jar and said, "The horse snake you are talking about is a general term, and everything that looks like a lizard can be called a horse snake." And when I say horse snake, I mean a specific ......"
"In particular, what?"
"A special kind of lizard!" I explained solemnly. At this time, Situ Feng and Ma Xiwen heard me say this and leaned over to me.
