Assi said seriously, but we didn't care, snakes are cold-blooded animals after all, in the middle of winter, this old tree branch is frozen to bear the skin, how can it be possible for a venomous snake to survive, even if there is, it should be very deep underground.

The team rested for a while, ate dry food and continued to move forward, and soon entered the range of the Lying Nest Ridge, I looked at the deep ditch below, weeds, moss ferns and thorns covered this mountain, there was a quiet flow of the creek came from the sound of quiet, a quiet and mysterious, the old forest in the northeast is not like the dense forest in the southwest direction, there are deep ravines, basically a horse flat river, even if there are mountain beams, it is not abrupt, but a little by little gentle rise, so it is easier to walk.

Fujino Takada was a little confused from the beginning of entering the mountain, this old man is also nearly seventy years old, although the place near the sea in Japan is also very cold in winter, but it cannot reach the extreme temperature of minus thirty or forty degrees in the northeast, and even the air that comes out can form an ice shuttle, so since he entered the mountain, his body bones can not bear the cold, and he can only be cut by a few bodyguards, made into a stretcher wrapped in a quilt and carried away.

I said to Kenjiro Fujino, "Your old man's body has deteriorated like this, you can use more snacks and take care of him." "I said this, but in my heart I wished that this old beast would freeze to death.

Kenjiro Fujino said, "Finding the Kanto ruins has always been my father's greatest wish in his life, and he has been waiting for this day for more than ten years, so how can he be willing to give up now?" ”

I pouted, but I wanted to say that this old turtle grandson has a hard temper enough, and Kenjiro Fujino, who is a son, is also, seeing that his father is about to freeze into bacon, he is not in a hurry at all, and he wants me to see, he wishes that this old thing would be hung up as soon as possible, so as to inherit the family inheritance.

Descending the trail, the road was not steep, but the deep mountain road was covered with thick snow, and we wore bucket boots under our feet, and if we stepped on the empty space carelessly, our whole knees would go down, and thanks to Asi's guidance, many unnecessary dangers could be avoided.

Assi worked very hard, walking in front with a hunting knife and cutting weeds to help us clear a way. The dog, which had accompanied him into the mountains, jumped up and down, and was so busy that he occasionally dug the ground with his paws and threw holes in the snowy pavement—but he did not dare to come near us, but followed the group at a distance, and sometimes noticed that we were looking at it, and would swallow and avoid it.

Many animals are human, and dogs are the best of them, and they are intuitive, perhaps noticing that we people are unusual, and they dare not come to us at all.

There was a dirt bay in front of me, and the snow was deeper, but fortunately there were no thorns in this area, so the walk was relatively smooth, but when he arrived here, Assi, as a guide, kept his steps very slow, and every time he walked out of the road, he would carefully break the branches of the trees and dig through the snowdrifts for a while.

Ge Zhuang was in a hurry, and asked him why he had slowed down, and Assi said that his friend's uncle had been bitten to death by a poisonous snake in this vicinity, and it would not be wrong to be careful.

Ge Zhuang laughed at him for being timid, patted his big belly, and said that if you walk so slowly, the fat man will go to the front, you look at the fat man's body, even if there is a snake, he can't bite through it.

The shoes under our feet are all big leather boots, lined with a layer of goose feathers, which can be insulated and warm, and the outside is cowhide, the cowhide boots are about two centimeters thick, even the zongzi may not be able to bite through, so Ge Zhuang is not worried about snakes at all.

And we have always been skeptical of Assi's statement, and we always feel that it is freezing on this day, and it is impossible for poisonous snakes to be infested.

Assi could only smile bitterly, saying that it was best not to touch it, otherwise it would be dangerous. Ge Zhuang told it to relax, just move forward, and besides, don't we all carry sulfur powder? As soon as these words fell, the big yellow dog that jumped in front of him barked wildly at a place, and its two paws were quickly gouging on the ground, and there was a panting sound of "hum and hum".

What's the situation?

"Ah Huang has found something, go up and take a look!" When we were still stunned, Axi had already grabbed the branch and ran over, and I was about to want to follow, but Ge Zhuang laughed in my ear, joking that the guide's name was Axi, and the family dog was called Ahuang, they were all surnamed A, could they be brothers?

I glared at him and said, "Dead fatty, why can't you shut up?" If you don't speak, try not to speak, if you offend the guide in this deep mountain and old forest, you are not afraid that people will take you to the nest of poisonous snakes?

We all quickly followed Axi, and saw the big yellow dog beside him gouging the ground for a while, and soon arched a lump of ice shuttles with his head, the ice shuttles were three fingers thick, long-shaped, and there was a rotten branch frozen in it, and there was a small snake coiled on the branch, about the length of chopsticks, and the body shape was very similar to the "bamboo leaf green" in our hometown, but the skin was brown, the color was very dark, and the color of the branch was very similar, if you didn't look closely, it was difficult to distinguish.

Ge Zhuang went to tease the big yellow dog, but the big yellow dog was afraid of him, so he lost the ice lump and ran away, Ge Zhuang picked up the ice lump on the ground, grinned and said to Assi, "The snakes you said have been frozen into ice cubes, can they still bite people like this?" ”

Assi knew that he was sarcastic about his timidity, and smiled a little embarrassedly, saying that the snake was too small to withstand such a cold climate, but the possibility of a large snake could not be ruled out.

Ge Zhuang grabbed the ice lump and found a piece of cloth to wrap it up, I looked very disgusting, and said when is the fat man, don't play with snakes, there are still few snakes in our hometown?

Ge Zhuang said no, little pumpkin, look at the patterns on the skin of this snake, it looks like a pit viper, there should be no such species in our hometown, Axi, do you know what kind of snake this is?

Assi said that this kind of snake can only be seen in the area of Lie Wo Ling, not in other places, and people who live here call it "black spotted snake", but I really don't know what the scientific name is.

Ge Zhuang said that it is so rare? Maybe this is a rare species that has not been found in the outside world, little pumpkin, do you want to bring this little snake back, maybe it is really a rare species, can it be sold to the zoo?

I said, "Why don't you do it, where are you going to hide this snake and take it out, put it in your pants and crotch?" Ge Zhuang smiled and said That's it, fat man, there is a big python in my pants and crotch, if I swallow it in one bite, I won't be able to draw it.

I slapped the ice lump in Ge Zhuang's hand and said let's go, it's important to get down to business. Ge Zhuang was very careful, the ice lump fell to the ground, he couldn't help but step on it with his foot, the dead fat man's weight of two hundred taels of catties, the ice lump cracked under his feet, I urged him to go faster, and the guide Axi walked away.

Then we continued to walk behind Assi, the line was long, and I had just walked five or six meters, but I heard an exclamation from the person behind me, whispering something in Japanese.

I looked back and saw that the ice mound had been trampled to pieces, and the little snake that was frozen in it actually wriggled and began to writhe slowly, and in a short time it shattered the outer layer of ice with its head and stood up with its neck arched.
