In the afternoon, Zhang Shouyi led four people to replace Zhang Shouzhong and others who were patrolling the border.

After handing over the farm affairs to Zhang Shouzhong, Li Tong and the other two militiamen, who were on leave, followed Wang Mingyuan and Liu Li back to Zhangjiaao.

There was a lone wolf who opened the way, and the journey was very easy, and by the way, two hares and a pheasant were harvested, and the food for the evening was settled.

The road into the mountain, during this period of time people come and go, has been trampled obviously, the grass has withered, the branches that block the road have also been cut down, there is already a real sense of sheep intestine path.

Coupled with the continuous sunny weather, the reason for the relatively dry is that there is no need to worry about those drought locusts that like a humid environment and people are unable to prevent it.

However, there are too many snakes.

On these dozens of miles of mountain roads, large and small, there are several, some sense people approaching, quickly wander into the grass to dodge, some are coiled together, basking in the sun on the dirt road, and there is a silver krait, a line across the road motionless, even if the person approaches, there is no reaction.

Several people went to the side and looked at each other one by one.

"There are so many snakes today, and there are ...... in the way" Li Tong frowned slightly: "I have a very bad premonition, I'm afraid that something bad is going to happen." ”

Pythons get in the way, it's a folk tale from a long time ago.

Don't say that it is now, even after more than 40 years, the rumor that a snake blocking the road means that something bad is going to happen, I still often hear the old people talk about it.

Snakes are cold-blooded and weird creatures, many people stay away, and when they encounter them, there are few who don't worry

In Wang Mingyuan's view, this is first of all a psychological factor, and he happened to encounter some bad things, so people linked the two unrelated together, and spread it to the gods.

"It's getting hotter!"

Liu Li obviously didn't believe in this evil either, so he immediately cut off a thin roller from the side with a mountain knife and hit it towards the seven inches of the silver snake.

The silver krait snake that looked like it was dead before writhed violently a few times, and soon stopped moving, and was lifted up by Liu Li, and cut a small hole with a knife at the lower part of the neck, and accurately took out the snake gallbladder.

As for the corpse of the snake, he threw it away.

This snake is only more than a pound, and it is extremely poisonous, so it is not suitable for eating.

Later, they came across another snake, which was more ferocious.

It was less than a meter long, with a short and thick tail, sensing that several people were approaching, not only did not dodge, but actually supported most of the body and made a posture of preparing to attack.

The triangular head, with a flat neck and bright red markings, is not easy to mess with at first glance.

Liu Li shook it in front of it with a stick, and it bit directly and quickly, and the pair of sharp teeth like a hook glowed with black light.

Snakes have very poor hearing, and they rely more on the vibrations coming from the ground and the smell of snakes to distinguish prey or warning.

Wang Mingyuan didn't know whether the snake was stupid or stupid, and in the face of the five people, he didn't run away, but had a feeling of competing against each other.

Sure enough, he was swept towards the seven-inch position by Liu Li's few sticks, and as a result, he lost his life and contributed snake gall.

"What kind of snake is this? It feels very poisonous. Wang Mingyuan asked casually when Liu Li was taking snake gall.

Liu Li shook his head, and Li Tong and others also said that they didn't know.

In their experience, they don't know......

Wang Mingyuan subconsciously avoided being farther away.

"The only thing that is certain is that this snake is a poisonous snake without a doubt." Li Tong said.

"In general, how can you tell if a snake is venomous?"

The weather is hot, often walking in the mountains, the chance of encountering snakes is not small, Wang Mingyuan feels that he needs to know more about snakes, and it is better to pay attention to avoid them in the future.

"Generally speaking, there are four aspects that can tell whether a snake is venomous or not. First, look at the head, most poisonous snakes have triangular heads, and non-poisonous ones are egg-shaped.

The second point, judging by the tail. Generally, venomous snakes have short and thick tails, while non-venomous snakes have slender tails.

The third point is teeth. Poisonous snakes have sharp, hook-like teeth that are usually jet-black, while non-venomous snakes have flatter teeth.

The fourth point is to distinguish from the color, usually, the color of the poisonous snake will be very bright, unlike the cauliflower snake, the color is gray, which is a bit like the identification of fungi, and the fungi with bright colors are mostly poisonous. ”

Li Tong explained: "This is basically the judgment, but it can't be generalized, this forest is too big, and many snakes in it are even stranger, and many of them have never been seen by those of us who often drive the mountains."

It's still the same as mushrooms, and it's impossible to say, such as the red red lonely, which many people think is poisonous, but in fact, the red lone is a wild mushroom that can be eaten, and it's delicious, so there are no absolutes, and it's impossible to say.

But watch out, it's always right.

In case you are bitten by a snake, don't panic too much, use a strip of cloth to tie up tightly on the top of the bitten part, find water to clean, and don't suck it with your mouth, in that case, there is a high possibility that you will also be poisoned.

Also, in terms of medicinal herbs, there are heavy buildings with the effects of reducing swelling and relieving pain, clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling the liver and calming the heart, as well as lobelia and white-flowered snake tongue grass, which are all good medicines for detoxification, especially lobelia, as the old saying goes, 'there is lobelia at home, you can sleep with snakes', and the detoxification effect is better.

It can also be used with white-flowered snake tongue grass, knotweed, madder, etc., to treat bee venom and scorpion venom, which are very effective."

Wang Mingyuan already knew about Chonglou and White-flowered Snake Tongue Grass, but as for knotweed, madder, especially lobelia, he had never heard of it.

Seeing that Li Tong said that he admired Lobelia so much, he hurriedly pulled Li Tong up: "Uncle Li, when you see Lobelia, you must point it out to me." ”

"There are a lot of them in the mountains, and when I meet them, I'll show you, it's easy to tell." Li Tong said with a smile.

The group continued to rush towards Zhangjiaao, and after walking for long, Li Tong stopped, pointed to the small plant with small pink flowers on the hillside and said, "That's Lobelia!" ”

Wang Mingyuan hurriedly leaned over and carefully examined the small grass that looked like it had very thin stalks, growing on the ground, taking root on the joints, and had many upright branches.

The five pink petals are distributed in a semicircle, and the petals and colors resemble a miniature version of the lotus petals, which is probably why it got its name.

He plucked the lobelia and held it, and saw that the broken stalk and white juice were coming out, and after a closer look, he could be regarded as keeping this inconspicuous herb firmly in his mind.

On the road after that, Wang Mingyuan found some more by himself and confirmed them carefully.

In the next few months, it will be the season of frequent snake and scorpion activities, and it is a matter of life and must be taken seriously.

It's just that what Wang Mingyuan didn't expect was that when he returned to Zhangjiaao, just like Li Tong's hunch, something really happened.
