Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Snake Molts

If time could be reversed, even if it was half a minute. Even if she kills Liu Meiniang, she won't look around anymore. There are some things that you will feel better if you don't see them, but once you see them, then this hurdle will not be passed.

It was a snake of considerable size, at least not small in diameter. The scales were blackish-brown and glowed strangely in the sunlight.

Liu Meiniang has not seen snakes before, and one of her college classmates has several snakes as her pets. She also went to observe, and she didn't think it was terrible at that time, at most, she felt that it was different from cats and dogs, and she didn't dare to touch it.

But seeing a snake in the house is completely different from seeing a snake in the wild. Only in this case can she truly realize that this is an animal that can kill herself, not a domestic pet.

Liu Meiniang didn't finish her hurried shout, she choked herself alive. The palm of his hand "snapped" and covered his mouth.

It was exactly the same as Beethoven's words, and it was choked by the throat of fate.

She stood still, not daring to move.

Liu Meiniang remembered the popular science knowledge she had seen in the animal world before, and the narrator said that the eyesight of snakes was very poor, no different from a blind man. But they are able to pick up information and the location of their prey through the spitting out of the hyaccia and the shaking of the ground.

At this moment, Liu Meiniang's mind was full of the picture of the black mamba snake quickly raising its body and biting the human leg. She even remembered that the TV said that the man had died after no treatment.

She never imagined that she would one day find herself in such a situation.

Liu Meiniang's hand covering her mouth was trembling uncontrollably, she stared at the snake in the grass not far away, and her tears were about to fall.

Or do you just run away, or do you stand here and wait for the snake to swim away on its own?

Is it fast to start or how fast is a snake coming up?

What if this snake uncle doesn't leave here? Isn't it possible for you to stay here motionless?

It's a life-or-death choice.

Liu Meiniang's legs were trembling slightly.

When the branches under her feet broke, Liu Meiniang's back broke out in a cold sweat. I almost felt like I was saying goodbye to this world.

But the snake didn't move.

This is...... Asleep?

A gust of wind blew, and Liu Meiniang clearly saw "that snake" and it moved......

Suddenly, a nameless anger rose from Liu Meiniang's heart. She slapped herself the thigh.

She is still thinking that this is not a snake at all, this is a snake molt!

"Ahh

Groundhog howls.

That's too insulting to IQ, isn't it? She doubted that she was shaking her head now, and that she could still hear the sound of water inside.

But this feeling of the rest of her life after the catastrophe is something that Liu Meiniang can't ignore, and she feels a lot more relaxed all of a sudden. The debt of thirty taels of silver is nothing.

Liu Meiniang strode to the snake and hooked the snake from the branches and grass with a sickle.

It's really not a small snake, and the snake is very complete. The shape of each scale is very complete.

It's like a pie in the sky, just such a good snake molt, take it and sell it to Dr. Liu on East Street for medicinal use, then you can make a small profit!

Liu Meiniang happily threw the snake into the bamboo basket behind her.

But this also shows that there are indeed snakes in the back mountain, and it is estimated that there are quite a few.

Liu Meiniang walked more cautiously, for fear of encountering the original owner of the snake.

Fortunately, her luck was not so good, and she didn't encounter any snakes along the way.

The further you go into the mountains, the more humid the air becomes, and the foliage grows denser. At first, there were still small patches of sunlight that could shine down, but then the spots became smaller and smaller, and now they are completely gone. Only a little misty light indicated that it was still daytime.

It's almost like a rainforest.

Liu Meiniang wiped the sweat on her head with her sleeve.

She figured that the time was almost up, and she thought about going back to meet the brother and sister and tell them the good news.

This also gave Liu Meiniang some inspiration, this snake molt is a medicinal material of traditional Chinese medicine, if you can pick up more snake molts, maybe you can rely on the money from selling this to improve your life.

Liu Meiniang walked over along the way and saw some mushrooms. I even saw some mushrooms that looked like chicken fir and didn't dare to be sure, this thing is very valuable, especially the oil refined from chicken fir fir . The price is higher than the other.

However, Liu Meiniang didn't dare to take risks, she only dared to pick some mushrooms she knew, after all, there are not a few reports of poisoning and death from eating mushrooms. She didn't want to die young.

There were some trees on the trail, and some stumps that had been cut down, and all of them had rotted over the years. The roots and trunk of the tree are covered with moss and small mushrooms.

Just as Liu Meiniang was about to leave, she suddenly saw a touch of orange behind a weed.

Liu Meiniang chuckled in her heart, isn't she really lucky?

She walked towards the roots of the tree and picked up the weeds.

Immediately afterwards, a small Ganoderma lucidum appeared in front of Liu Meiniang's eyes.

"This is really lucky...... Liu Meiniang looked at Lingzhi and muttered, "I'm afraid it's not the luck of the previous life that has been transferred to this life." ”

Reishi mushrooms look different from other mushrooms, the umbrella mushroom of other mushrooms looks soft, it looks like a piece of wood, and it is still orange-brown. Flat and neat. It looks more like a fungus than a mushroom.

This is a small cluster of Ganoderma lucidum, probably not long after it has just grown.

If you sell it so small, you won't be able to sell it for much. Liu Meiniang took out a small gourd containing spiritual spring water from her arms, and carefully poured some on top of the lingzhi.

It will take time for Ganoderma lucidum to grow, so Liu Meiniang simply went to find Zhang Dandan and the others first.

When Liu Meiniang returned to the original location, Zhang Dandan and Zhang Jihan were already waiting there.

"Is there a catch?" Liu Meiniang asked.

Zhang Dandan pouted and shook his head, looking unhappy. Zhang Jihan also spread his hands helplessly.

"Where's my sister-in-law?" Zhang Dandan blinked his eyes and asked, "Is there anything to gain?" ”

Liu Meiniang chuckled and took out the snake from the back basket.

Zhang Dandan immediately covered his ears and screamed and hid behind Zhang Jihan.

Zhang Jihan was not afraid, but was surprised, "Such a snake can be sold for some money." ”

"Yes." Liu Meiniang nodded, "But the debt still can't be repaid." ”

Zhang Jihan's expression really dimmed, "This day is coming, what can I do if I can't repay my debts?" ”

"It's okay, I've found a treasure today." As soon as Liu Meiniang talked about this, her eyes lit up, and her joy was beyond words.

"Sister-in-law, what did you find?" Zhang Dandan poked out a small head from behind his second brother.

Liu Meiniang stretched out her hand and hugged the little girl, "Let's go, sister-in-law will lead you to find it." ”

Zhang Jihan waved his hand, he usually doesn't work much, and after walking for so long, his leg is about to break. He was waiting in the same place, and Liu Meiniang and Zhang Dandan went to find it.

Liu Meiniang was afraid that she would not be able to find it on this road, so she made a lot of marks along the way. The mountains are slippery, and Liu Meiniang walks with Zhang Dandan in her arms.

"Sister-in-law, what did you find?" Zhang Dandan asked.

"Dandan guess." Liu Meiniang intended to tease her.

The little girl really frowned and thought for a long time, "I once heard the third sister say that there are ginseng in this world. It is worth a thousand gold, prolongs life, and can cure all diseases! ”

Liu Meiniang laughed out loud.

"How? Could it be that the third sister lied to me? Zhang Dandan's eyes widened, "I was thinking, if I can get ginseng, my mother's illness may be cured." ”

Liu Meiniang's heart soured when she heard this. Zhang Dandan is still quite sensible, although he is so big, he already knows that he feels distressed.

Zhang Li's health has indeed not been very good.

Liu Meiniang searched in the memory of the original owner and learned that Zhang Li was bleeding heavily when she gave birth to Zhang Dandan, but fortunately, God opened her eyes and did not take the mother and daughter away. However, because of family problems, Zhang Li's confinement was not well regulated. So much so that he fell into the root of his body. The body is relatively weak, and it is not possible to do heavy farm work.

It is estimated that Zhang Dandan also knows these things, and children's hearts are always very soft, so she also has a sense of guilt about this matter.

Liu Meiniang sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but reach out and rub it on the top of Zhang Dandan's head, comforting: "Mother will get better." Even if you don't have ginseng, you can get better. ”

Zhang Dandan widened his eyes, and then nodded solemnly.

"Your third sister didn't lie to you, ginseng is really a very cherished medicinal material. Not to mention the value of thousands of gold, non-large families can't afford it. However, ginseng cannot cure all diseases, and it is very effective in regulating qi and blood. Liu Meiniang said as plainly as possible.

"Legend has it that this ginseng resembles a human and runs on long legs. When you see the ginseng, be sure to tie it with a red rope. Otherwise, it will sneak away. When you dig it out, you'll find that it's just a turnip. ”

"Ahh Zhang Dandan exclaimed, but asked again, "Could it be that this ginseng can really run?" ”

Liu Meiniang shook her head, "I don't know about this." I've heard people say that, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. ”

The little girl seemed to understand "oh", "That sister-in-law has found that ginseng?" ”

"Nope." Liu Meiniang smiled helplessly.

Zhang Dandan was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up again, "Is that He Shanzhen?" ”

"It's Ganoderma lucidum." Liu Meiniang doesn't sell Guanzi anymore, "A medicinal herb with the same name as ginseng." And it's not small, and it can be sold for a lot of money. Our family's debts will be repaid. ”

"Great!" Zhang Dandan shouted excitedly, his eyes bent into two small crescents.
