Chapter 16: The Legend of the Alien Snake
"The smell of snakes, what does it smell like of snakes?" Xie Ke couldn't help but shudder.
"I don't know what kind of snake it is, but it's the smell of snakes...... Huang Ranran is right, this tree hole is indeed a snake hole. Such a big snake cave, it is estimated that it must not be a small snake, but a python or something......" Heng Qi said that even his body felt chills for a while.
Xie Ke was also shocked and said, "So we really live in the snake's den?"
"What should we do, let's go out and let Huang run in!"
"That's a bargain for him!" Xie Ke said reluctantly.
"Let him stuff the snake between his teeth, which is cheap for him?" Heng Qi chuckled.
Xie Ke also smiled: "Then let's let him pick up this 'cheap'." ”
At that moment, the two of them got out of the tree hole one after the other, and then beckoned Huang Ran to run down.
Huang Ran ran had not yet fallen asleep, and he didn't know what to do at the moment, so he happily left the recessed "nest" where he was lying, climbed down the trunk of the tree, and got into the hole in the tree.
"Be careful, don't fall off. Heng Qi and Xie Ke also reminded him "kindly" and gave him a flashlight.
Huang Ranran grinned and said, "How can I do that? But I really have to thank you." ”
Heng Qi and Xie Ke didn't talk much nonsense, and after Huang Ran ran down, they climbed up and stayed in the place where Huang Ran was staying.
Staying on the trunk of a tree is naturally not as comfortable as being in a tree hollow. But the fear of snakes had overcome everything else, so the two of them didn't care about any comfort or discomfort.
said that Yang Hao was vigilantly listening to the movement in the forest, and suddenly the leaves next to his ears "rustled". Yang Hao hurriedly raised his handcuff - but he quickly put it down again. For he saw a pair of familiar eyes in the darkness. It turned out that Fu Ying slid down the trunk of the tree to his side.
Yang Hao hurriedly vacated a little space and gave it to Fu Ying, and then asked softly, "Miss Fu, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I can't sleep, I want to talk to you. By the way, don't call me Miss Fu, okay? ”
"Yingying?" Yang Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these two words, his heart felt as if he had been hit by something, and his body trembled at the same time.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?" Although it was in the dark, Fu Ying still noticed the changes in Yang Hao's body.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Yang Hao hurriedly covered up.
Although he said this in his mouth, there was actually a voice calling in his heart: "Yingying, how similar is this to the titles of Honghong and Yunyun...... It's a pity that I don't know when I will be able to see them again in this life?"
"Brother Yang, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing...... By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I know that Brother Yang has never forgotten what happened three years ago, has always wanted to know what happened three years ago, and has always wanted to get back the memory of three years ago. In fact, I have a way to help Brother Yang realize his wish. ”
"Oh?
"My father once said that there is a three-headed snake in the mountains in the south, and there is something called 'saliva crystal' in its body, which may be good for recovering memory. However, this snake can only live in dark underground or ancient tombs, and it is difficult to see it in the wild. Therefore, people in the world even think that this snake does not exist at all, but is just a myth and legend. ”
"Maybe it's just a myth. Yang Hao smiled.
"But my dad saw it, but he didn't catch it. If my mother or I had been there, I might have been able to catch it. ”
"What, your mother or you?" Yang Hao's eyes suddenly widened in the darkness. He almost thought he had misheard.
"Yes, my mother or me. Brother Yang, don't look at me like that. Listen to me, my mother was born to be a snake catcher, and I inherited her mantle. ”
"Why did your mother catch snakes?"
"Of course, it's for Gu refining. ”
"Gu refining, is your mother a witch?" Yang Hao's eyes widened in horror again.
"Yes...... What's wrong, you also have a prejudice against witches?" Fu Ying said in surprise.
"No, not at all! because two of my friends are witches. It's a pity that they don't know where they are now......"
"It seems that Brother Yang must have experienced a lot of things in the past...... Can you tell me about it?"
"Absolutely. It's just that this story is a bit long, and you have to be a little patient. ”
"No matter how long the story is, I have patience. ”
"Well, when I remember what happened three years ago, I'll tell you about it. By the way, your mother is a witch, so you must be a witch too?"
"My mother is, but I'm not. ”
"Didn't you say you inherited your mother's mantle?"
"I've only inherited her mantle of catching snakes - in fact, I prefer to venture into the deep underworld like my father. When Fu Ying said this, she set up a little ambush. In fact, she not only inherited her mother's mantle of catching snakes, but also inherited other abilities. But she didn't want Yang Hao to know these things yet.
"I see...... I'm just a little bit strange, how dare a girl catch a snake?"
"It's not really hard to catch a snake...... Well, what's going on?" Fu Ying suddenly said vigilantly.
Yang Hao was taken aback and said, "What's wrong?"
"I smell snakes!"
"Where does the snake smell?"
"It's on this tree!"
Besides, after Huang ran ran into the hole in the tree, he soon fell asleep. He didn't investigate the reason why Heng Qi and Xie Ke let him sleep in the tree cave at all, and even felt that Heng Qi and Xie Ke were stupid forks, and they wouldn't enjoy the blessings. He soon curled up and fell asleep. That ridiculous sleeping position was like a big yellow dog burrowing into a tree hole.
He didn't sleep for long, and he suddenly wanted to roll over (an instinctive action in his sleep that he couldn't detect), but something seemed to be stuck to his head, and it was supposed to be a kind of gelatin, which stuck his head tightly. As soon as he turned over, his whole head was torn apart. The pain also woke him up from his sleep.
He casually touched his head, only to feel that it was full of sticky liquid, a bit like glue. He couldn't help but wonder where the glue came from in the hollow, but he soon came up with the answer: it was gum.
At that moment he shone his flashlight on the place, and sure enough, there was a large white gelatinous thing where his head was lying just now, and it was these things that stuck to his head.
Huang Ran was originally a sloppy person, and he never cared whether the environment was dirty or clean, but he also had an instinctive evil feeling for this gelatinous thing, and immediately changed his head, intending to continue to sleep.
Before he could fall asleep, however, he felt something emerge from the darkness and crawl onto his lap.
At first, he thought it was a mouse, but he hurriedly reached out and touched it, but he did not expect to touch a cold, slippery, long, cylindrical object! This object was the thickness of an enamel cup, like a thick cable.
No matter how stupid Huang Ran ran was, he immediately understood what this was. Immediately howled like a male duck: "There is a snake......
"Don't move!" suddenly came a sharp shout from the entrance of the tree hole, and a figure rushed in. Then the figure sprang out with lightning speed. And the Dongdong on Huang Ranran's body is gone.
"What's going on?" both Heng Qi and Xie Ke woke up. When the two of them saw Fu Ying squatting at the entrance of the tree hole, holding a twisted snake in his hand, they were so shocked that their hair was pointed up. Heng Qi almost fell off a tree.
Yang Hao also slipped down from it.
"What kind of snake is this?" Yang Hao asked calmly.
Fu Ying didn't answer, just looked at the snake in her hand repeatedly. The head of the snake was tightly clamped in her palm, and although it struggled desperately, it could never break free of Fu Ying's hand, its mouth didn't even have a chance to open, let alone bite with its plain teeth. Therefore, it had no choice but to wrap its body around Fu Ying's arm in vain......
Heng Qi and the others were all shocked, and their skin was numb. They could never have imagined that a weak woman could play with a snake (presumably a poisonous snake) like a cat and a mouse.
After watching for two or three minutes, Fu Ying's hand drew a parabola, threw the snake out, and fell straight into the woods in the distance. Then he replied slowly: "This is a 'knife-backed slip', also known as the little king snake, the scientific name is purple spot, the toxicity is moderate, and it belongs to the viper class." Although its toxicity is only moderate, if you bite it, if you don't inject the serum in time, you will die within half an hour!"
"What? So I went to the Hades Hall just now?" Huang ran his eyes widened.
Yang Hao suddenly said strangely: "Aren't Heng Qi and Xie Ke sleeping in the tree hole?"
Heng Qi and Xie Ke felt weak in their hearts, and replied with a squeak at the moment: "That's the case, we want Huang Ran to sleep comfortably, so we carried forward the style, putting others before ourselves......"
"You two will have such good intentions? You must have known that this is a snake nest, so you led me to be fooled! It's my old yellow life, otherwise I would have lost more than 100 pounds here!" Huang ran so angry that his face turned green, and he kept beating his chest.
Xie Ke whispered to Heng Qi: "It seems that Huang Ran is really angry." ”
Heng Qi also said in a low voice: "Huang ran ran angry, but he just threw off his hat, kicked off his shoes, and hit his head on the ground." ”
Both of them had extremely low voices, so they were not heard by Huang Ranran. However, Huang Ran ran can be regarded as a "beam" with the two of them.
"Brother Yang, the appearance of this kind of snake here means that that kind of snake is not far away. Fu Ying looked at Yang Hao and said.
Before Yang Hao could answer, Heng Qi hurriedly asked, "Miss Fu, what kind of snake?"
"Three-headed snake. Fu Ying replied.
"Three-headed snake, is there such a snake?" Not only did he weigh it, but even Xie Ke and Huang Ran ran widened their eyes.
"Okay, let's rest early, and be a little vigilant when you rest. Yang Hao said lightly.
"But how can we sleep now?...... if another snake crawls out," Heng Qi said worriedly.
