Chapter 033: Ancient Snake Species

Tu Xiaoyue understood that the money was earned by her younger brother, so she hurriedly took out 10,000 yuan from the envelope and put it on the table, and then accepted the rest of the money with peace of mind.

Immediately, her eyes bent into crescent moons, and she said happily: "Great, my mother's illness has money to see"

These days, Tu Xiaoyue is thinking about how to get some money to treat her mother, because her mother's illness has been serious day after day, and she can't continue to drag it out, otherwise she won't be desperate to go to Lei Ao to borrow usury.

"Sister, this afternoon, you will take your mother to the largest hospital in Wencheng to find a doctor for your mother's examination, don't be afraid of spending money" Tu Xiaoan said to the old sister.

Tu Xiaoyue nodded heavily.

Mei Lin hesitated, wanted to say something, but didn't know whether to speak, so Tu Xiaoan saw it and asked, "Sister Mei Lin, do you have anything to say?"

"It's nothing, I'm still not going to say it"

Xiao An was puzzled: "Just say anything, it's all your own people"

Mei Lin glanced at Xiao Yue, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Xiao An, have you ever heard of an ancient snake species, Taixuan Snake?"

Too dark snake?

Tu Xiaoan recalled, still shaking his head.

Mei Lin was not surprised: "The Taixuan snake is a snake species that is almost extinct in ancient times, how many snake catchers in our entire Baizhen, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who can know the Taixuan snake, and I also heard a master say it by coincidence."

"Sister Meilin, what do you mean, why did you suddenly say that you are going to the Taixuan snake, is this kind of snake very powerful?"

Tu Xiaoyue suddenly looked at Mei Lin vigilantly, she wouldn't let her little brother catch any powerful poisonous snakes.

"Taixuan snake is called a walking treasure medicine by the ancients, which can treat all kinds of incurable diseases, maybe with this snake, it can help the sister-in-law's illness"

Next, Mei Lin slowly told Tu Xiao'an.

The Taixuan snake is actually an allusion.

Going back to ancient times, the Tang Dynasty was originally a prosperous feudal dynasty, but in the middle of the period, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty could no longer regain its former prosperity.

And the officials only care about themselves, desperately searching for the people's fat and ointment, and the names of taxes are miscellaneous and numerous, and the people can't eat enough to eat all day long.

At that time, there was a kind of snake in Yongzhou, which was extremely venomous, and if a person was bitten by it, he would definitely die, and there was no cure at all.

This kind of snake is the famous Taixuan snake, petite, white all over, but it is a very terrifying existence, biting people is death, there is no turnaround.

However, it was later discovered that this snake was caught and dried to make medicine, which could cure many incurable diseases at that time, so this poisonous snake was collected in the palace twice a year.

At that time, the tax payment was serious, and many people could not pay the tax at all, but the imperial court issued a statement that as long as there was such a snake, it could replace the tax tax.

As a result, those people who can't pay taxes can only go up the mountain to catch this kind of snake, because even if you don't use it to pay taxes, this kind of snake can still do other business, which is very valuable.

It's just that this kind of snake is not easy to deal with, many people have been bitten to death in order to catch it, and after a bite, this snake will stand tall and watch you die.

Its white scales glow with cold fear, and when it stands tall at you, it does not represent provocation and vigilance, but that you are already a dead person in its eyes.

At that time, even if the risk of catching the Taixuan snake was too high, many people in Yongzhou still did this kind of errand, there was a snake catcher, from his grandfather to him did this, but his grandfather was bitten to death by the Taixuan snake, and his father also died at the hands of the Taixuan snake.

Later, when he arrived, many people advised him not to do this kind of errand, otherwise three generations would die at the hands of the Taixuan snake, but the snake catcher said very sadly: "I can't help it, even if I work hard, it is not enough to pay taxes, let alone maintain my own life, only by catching snakes can I have a glimmer of life."

Although the Taixuan snake is fierce, but in this world, there is never a creature more ruthless than people, so the number of the Taixuan snake continues to decrease, decrease, until the Tang Dynasty falls, this kind of snake becomes invisible.

Later, it gradually became a rumored poisonous snake.

"Legend has it that a queen of the Tang Dynasty had lung cancer, and she was treated with the snake gall bladder of the Taixuan snake, but I don't know if this rumor is true"

Merlin finally spoke.

Tu Xiaoan was surprised: "Is this snake really so amazing?"

"Taixuan snake, absolutely rare snake species, on the value and medical practicability, Taixuan snake is definitely a treasure medicine in the snake, this, I also specifically went to the Internet to check, medicine is very useful, can treat all kinds of incurable diseases, it is said, the snake blood of the snake also has the miraculous effect of relieving the aging of the body, as for the true and false, this snake has not appeared for hundreds of years, only try it yourself to be clear"

At the beginning, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was able to exchange taxes for this snake, which must have made some sense.

Taxation is the capital of the country, how can it be easily replaced by something else, an emperor is so painstakingly trying to get the Taixuan Snake, which shows the preciousness of the Taixuan Snake.

"In addition, it is specifically determined that if the snake gall bladder of the Taixuan snake is used as a medicine primer, it can cure many terminal diseases that cannot be cured by modern science and technology, especially diseases such as lung cancer."

When Tu Xiaoan heard this, his eyes lit up, this snake is simply the best, snake blood can actually alleviate the effect of body aging, if it is really so, he really can't miss this snake.

But then he dimmed: "Sister Meilin, this snake is good, don't you say that it is equivalent to extinction?"

This poisonous snake, in the Tang Dynasty, was almost caught.

There was once a medical scientist who scolded the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if he hadn't released something that could be used as a tax for the Taixuan snake, then this snake would not have become extinct.

Reduced to modern times, it is difficult to find one.

"We may have this kind of snake in Sheshan" Mei Lin said so much, naturally she wouldn't play in order to tease Tu Xiao'an, and said: "There was once a snake catcher in Sheshan who saw a small snake that looked like a Taixuan snake, but no one has ever caught this kind of snake, so I can't confirm whether it is a Taixuan snake."

"I'm just telling you casually, after all, even if this kind of snake is in Sheshan, it's not so easy to catch" Sheshan is so big, endless, trying to find a snake in the mountain is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, and this snake has not been born for hundreds of years, whether it still exists, no one is sure.

Mei Lin continued: "I just thought, if there is really this snake, my sister-in-law will not have to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and it will be so troublesome and tossed."

I am not afraid of tossing and trouble, but Tu Xiaoan is a little excited, the effect of this snake is too great, it is simply magical, the snake gall can cure cough disease if I let my mother eat it, and the snake blood can alleviate aging and become younger, which is simply amazing.

"I'm not afraid to catch it, as long as Sheshan has this kind of snake, then I can catch it" Tu Xiao'an has the ruling ability of snakes, and the level is sufficient, and any poisonous snake must surrender.
