Medicine King Chapter 16 - Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
The wire behind the hook was slowly sent into the hole until it reached the head, which shows how deep the hole is. Finally, Wang Jin plucked a branch and strung the ring behind the wire. Stick a branch into the soil in front of the hole and wait for what to happen next.
Since ancient times, humans have accumulated a great deal of experience in dealing with snakes over a long period of evolution. The Wang family is a top master of snake fishing in snake catching. Here's a secret to reveal.
When Wang Jin was a child, he followed his father and uncles up the mountain to fish for snakes, and eavesdropped on a lot of doorways in the middle. At this time, looking at the branch from afar, he silently began to count his heartbeat.
The old rule says that within 100 heartbeats, there is no big snake, be careful within 200 heartbeats, and between 200 and 250 sounds is very dangerous. 250 to 300 rooms, then you have to go through the ghost gate. After 300 sounds, it's time to slap your ass and leave. At that time, Wang Jin also asked Wang Fu and said: 300 slaps on the ass and leaves, what does this mean. Wang Fu told him: There is no snake in the cave, are you still waiting for a fart?
Wang Jin has mastered the secret recipe of snake fishing, how many times has he practiced, the so-called practice makes true knowledge, the essence of snake fishing is not something that can be expressed in words, this is a practical science. In Wang Jin's experience, there are many times when he encounters snakes within 200 heartbeats, which is mainly related to the natural environment of Yaowang Valley. He can often catch snakes up to 1,2 meters. The bigger the snake, the longer it takes. However, the highly venomous snakes are basically above 200 sounds. A person's heartbeat is generally between 60-80 per minute, which is a normal situation, of course, some people who are not in good health, and the heartbeat will exceed 100 under normal conditions, so it is time to pay attention to your health. Let's not forget that we're talking about the environment here, it's snake fishing. At this time, in the face of nervous and fearful psychological pressure, the average heartbeat per minute is about 120 beats.
The older generation thinks that such a simple thing, when you still bring a watch, do you have the time to look at it? Isn't that redundant? Therefore, counting heartbeats is actually the easiest and most effective way to keep time.
But this time, the 300 heartbeats were all counted, and the branch had not moved. Wang Jin saw sweat on his forehead, he had never encountered such a thing, and he had never done it at night. If it were in the past, Wang Jin would definitely give up. However, at this time, Wang Jin didn't know where the evil fire came from in his heart, so he snorted and said in his heart: Lao Tzu has to get you out today, and you must die. He couldn't figure out whether he wanted to give it to the snake or the three treasures.
It wasn't until about 350 that the branch broke without warning, and the wire was dragged into the hole by the contents of it, if it weren't for the iron ring stuck at the mouth of the hole, Wang Jin almost didn't catch it. Wang Jin grabbed the wire with both hands and dragged it out of the cave. The things inside were obviously painful, and they were straining inside, Wang Jin could feel that the things inside were rolling rapidly, and they must be snakes of a small size.
The serpent in the cave may also be angry. suddenly increased his strength, and almost didn't drag Wang Jin to his head. One person and one snake started the tug-of-war, and finally they all froze there.
At this time, Xiaobai in the distance suddenly roared twice and got into the grass. Wang Jinxin said: Damn, aren't you making trouble! At this time, it is important to have the life of pheasants and rabbits. As soon as my heart moved, I knew that something was wrong. If the pheasant and rabbit Xiaobai will definitely crawl over silently, this is the first to bark, it is to alarm the owner, there must be some danger.
Sure enough, Wang Jin looked sideways at the fire, Xiaobai's hair stood on end, rushed out of the grass, and rushed towards him. Behind him was a white-colored monster. Xiaobai came over, bit Wang Jin's sleeve, and pulled it desperately, which meant telling the master to run for his life.
Wang Jin was straightforward, and wanted to free his hand to slap this guy twice. Seeing the monster, he slowly walked towards him. There was a series of "hum" sounds from his mouth, and when he got closer, he saw that the monster opened a pig's nose, and his red eyes were shining blue by the bonfire. Oh my god! Wang Jin has never heard of anything like this, let alone seen it. The thing was walking straight towards itself step by step, and it seemed that it was coming directly at itself. What is the difference between looking at the unscrupulous appearance and seeing a hare yourself.
Suddenly, the snake in the cave changed its tactics, and it may have been exhausted, and suddenly rushed out of the cave. Wang Jin was caught off guard, and his body fell backwards. Seeing that the snake hook quickly came out of the snake hole, it was shed. If the serpent comes out, it is in his bosom. At that moment, Wang Jin simply tugged on the snake hook, and then quickly threw it behind him, and at the same time the person turned over on the ground.
In the few tenths of a second when he turned his head, Wang Jin had already seen the snake clearly. How can there be more than a meter. The key, the key is the thickness of the snake. Wang Jin had never fished such a thick snake, and said in his heart: It's not good, I met a powerful character this time. This is a sharp-nosed pit that is more than one meter long. In mid-air, Wang Jin saw its black and white pattern, and knew that if he was asked to take a bite by it, the consequences would be unimaginable. I wanted to shake it off and kill it directly, so let's just let it go at this time. The snake was thrown out of the head by Wang Jin, and it landed right between the monster and himself.
At this time, Wang Jin and the snake were separated by Xiaobai, Xiaobai and the monster were separated by the snake, and the snake and the fire were separated by the monster. This bunch of strange things lined up in a line. When Xiaobai saw that there was a big snake out of thin air in front of him, the snake had already made a mess on the spot. The body is constantly wandering, and the white diamond pattern is constantly changing its shape. I couldn't see clearly where the head was and where the tail was.
Wang Jin took out his slingshot and asked for a steel ball to taste the snake, but now a strange scene happened. At first, Xiaobai couldn't move in place, but when he heard the noise, this guy was scared to pee, which was too embarrassing, and it made Wang Jin, the master, lose face. The monster in the distance, seeing a flying snake falling in mid-air, may also be an accident. After observing it, he turned his head and walked towards the snake.
Wang Jin was overjoyed when he saw this, and let the snake bite the monster to death first, and then deal with the snake himself. So, sit down. Watching the changes, the slingshot in his hand was already soaked with sweat. The white monster was not large, the size of an ordinary domestic cat. Say weasel, but it's certainly not. The tail is also not that big. As for rat weasels, badgers, and the like, they are certainly not. Wang Jin has seen a lot, but he really doesn't know the monster in front of him. Could it be a meerkat , this Sichuan is said to also have a meerkat figure, but I have never seen it, and it is not clear what the meerkat looks like! But the following situation made Wang Jin even more confused.
The white monster first raised its head and sniffed at the snake, and the serpent raised its head and hissed from its mouth. Wang Jin knew that this white monster was going to be in trouble, this snake was in the prime of life, and a fight must be extremely dangerous. But the monster didn't care, and slowly circled around the snake. Looking at its pig-like nose and stupid appearance, it is a bit of a wild boar. But no one would think it could be a pig. Moreover, the claws of this monster are extremely sharp, and Wang Jin can also see from afar, that claws are all with furrows, and he must also be a good hand at digging the ground.
After the monster circled around the snake a few times, Wang Jin suddenly remembered a post-break remark: pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. In fact, it means to pretend to be cowardly, first of all, let you think that I am weak, and suddenly open my mouth to bite the tiger to death. I feel that this guy should not be simple. This fight should last a long time. Including, how the monster should suddenly attack, and how quickly to jump away like a tanuki. Now it's just a matter of letting the snake down.
The following scene was completely unexpected for him. The monster spun around and suddenly stopped. As soon as he lowered his head, he walked towards the snake with his nose arched to the ground. Seeing that, the snake's head leaned forward, and immediately retracted. Wang Jinxin said: I am grass, stupid. Sure enough, seeing that the monster's body trembled, it must have been bitten by a snake. The poison of this snouting pit is so good that the monster should have a painful reaction at the moment. Unexpectedly, it only "hummed" twice and continued to approach the snake. The snake has already succeeded, but I didn't expect this guy to be fine, maybe he was also confused, and he didn't even know to crawl away. It wasn't until the monster came up to it, grabbed its body and opened its mouth, that it bit at it with all its might. Wang Jin could see that the long teeth in the snake's mouth were five centimeters full, and it seemed that all of them had pierced into the monster's body.
The monster must have been bitten as well, and when he turned his head, he bit the serpent's neck. followed one bite after another, and bit down. In just a few moments, the pit viper's skin was bitten and broken, and the whole snake body wrapped around a monster, but it was no longer able to move. The monster squeaked and squeaked, and actually started eating.
At that moment, Wang Jin admired this monster to the extreme, and said in his heart: You are awesome, I was wrong. In the future, you will be the eldest on this mountain, and I will be the second. Seeing that this monster only cared about eating snake meat, Wang Jin beckoned Xiaobai and went around to the fire from the side to clean up his things. After a period of observation, he had determined that this was not a monster, but an animal that he did not know about. However, it is certainly not a mongoose, this animal does not have agile speed. If it weren't for the peculiar appearance, it would be similar to a pig. It's always slow. What should I call him, just call him a white pig.
