Chapter 19: The Desire for Revenge Is So Strong?
Zhou Yunzhen followed his train of thought and said, "This 'puffed-necked green snake' should not have fled back to the nest, but hid in the dark and peeked, waiting for an opportunity. ”
"This venomous snake is extremely vindictive, and once someone disturbs or angers it, it will definitely not give up and will definitely retaliate like crazy."
Thinking of its madness just now, Uncle Luo had palpitations, "In that case, why didn't you take revenge on me at that time?" It will work out. ”
"That's where I wonder, there's only one possibility." Zhou Yunzhen replied after thinking about it.
"What is possible?"
"That is, if this poisonous snake takes revenge on you immediately, it is afraid that its nest will be destroyed, so it decides to move away from its nest and do it again."
"Stalking me?" Uncle Luo was a little creepy.
"This? It doesn't have such abilities, after all, it's a reptilian lower animal, and it's not a sapient creature like a human. ”
"But?"
"But what?"
"Its olfactory system is quite sensitive and can tell how one person's scent differs from another's."
Zhou Yunzhen continued: "The snake's sense of smell is extremely developed, which is incomparable to other animals, the snake's sense of smell is caused by a pair of nasal hoes located on both sides of the front line of the midline of the palate bone at the top of the mouth and the tongue in the mouth, the snake's tongue can absorb the tiny odor particles in the air and distinguish different odors. ”
"The serpent's letter stretches out and shakes constantly, it is a terrifying existence, in fact, it spits out in order to perceive and distinguish different smells."
"Its sensitivity far exceeds the dog's ability to search and track."
Uncle Luo was shocked, "This poisonous snake stretched out the letter and kept shaking, perceiving and distinguishing my scent, and then chasing my scent?" ”
Zhou Yunzhen replied: "After biting your scent, this poisonous snake is crawling and sneaking in the bamboo forest and grass, shuttling here. When you can't grasp it, you will spit out the letter and peep in the direction. Otherwise, it is easy to expose itself. ”
Uncle Luo heard this, his hair stood on end, and his whole body trembled, "The desire for revenge is so strong? ”
"Didn't you just see that? It's thrilling. ”
"yes, but I'm still confused?"
"What's the confusion?"
Uncle Luo said suspiciously: "But it wasn't me who was caught off guard and violently attacked, it was Yang Lao who was sitting across the table from me." Is this viper blind? Seeing things and seeing people? Blind? ”
"Although the viper is fierce, its eyesight is indeed very weak, and it cannot even see stationary objects, so it is not wrong to say that it is blind. It relies on the perception of the tongue to distinguish the surrounding environment and people. ”
Uncle Luo still wondered: "Its eyes can't see me, but its tongue can't find and track me?" Doesn't that mean it's sensitive? ”
Zhou Yunzhen scratched his ears and cheeks, paused for a moment, and then explained: "Its olfactory system is quite sensitive, and it can distinguish the smell of one person from that of another. didn't attack you, not to let you go, but Yang Lao saved you. ”
"I know that. It's just why did it choose to attack Yang Lao and let me go? Could it be that in the eyes of this poisonous snake, Yang Lao, who didn't disturb it and stepped on him, was more hateful than me? Want to get rid of it quickly? Uncle Luo was surprised.
"It's not strange, for a vengeful snake, it doesn't have a bitter hatred for Yang Lao. But it will also get rid of those who stand in its way, those who hinder its retaliation. ”
"Yang is always the one who stands in its way, preventing it from retaliating?"
"Yes."
"Why? The more I listened, the more confused I became. ”
"That's right. This poisonous snake came down from the hillside, crawling through the bamboo forest and grass. But if you approach the Octagonal Pavilion and don't have grass as cover, will it work? ”
"Of course not, it's easy to be discovered."
Zhou Yunzhen analyzed: "Yes, if that happens, it will not be able to act by surprise, let alone the effect of the sneak attack, but it will cause us to be highly vigilant." ”
"As a result, it's a big deal to run away. There is a high probability that you will die here. ”
"Would you be soft on a poisonous snake that wants your life?"
"Of course not."
"That's why this viper doesn't attack you."
"This?"
"The grass next to the pavilion behind you may not be able to spill this patch every time you sprinkle water because of a problem with the automatic watering system. Over time, the grass withered, and most of them withered and died. ”
"In such a bald land, can a poisonous snake hide itself? Can you sneak around? ”
"Can't!"
"So how does it work? To achieve the effect of the surprise attack, the serpent must choose an ambush place. ”
Uncle Luo suddenly became a little enlightened, "This poisonous snake finally chose the large green grass behind Elder Yang, hibernated in the grass, and then launched a fatal blow while we were concentrating on playing chess. ”
"Yes. It's just that although this poisonous snake wants to open its bloody mouth and devour you in one bite, it can't attack you directly. ”
"Because Elder Yang is in front of you. This is the obstacle that this poisonous snake must get rid of, and only by solving him can we deal with you behind him. ”
After listening to Zhou Yunzhen's explanation, Uncle Luo stopped talking.
He said to Yang Lao gratefully: "It was you who prevented me from killing me and saved my life." ”
Yang Lao disagreed, shook his head and said: "It's not that serious, you said that I prevented you from killing and saved your life, which is an exaggeration." ”
"It's not that serious. Don't you see how good I am? Not the slightest bit uncomfortable. ”
After that, Yang Lao took a deep breath, squatted down and walked down, stood up again, and said, "My whole body parts are in good condition." ”
In front of the stubborn Yang Lao, Zhou Yunzhen could only smile bitterly.
People didn't put their words on their bodies at all, and they all took it as wind in their ears.
On the contrary, I think that I am noisy, mother-in-law, chattering, and a little annoying.
Zhou Yunzhen looked at the dead snake on the ground and felt that although its body had been separated from its head, the body of the green snake with a different head was still wriggling.
Its body is not stiff yet?
A thought welled up in his heart, the blood of this poisonous snake was extremely precious, equivalent to gold.
It can be used in hospitals to develop antivenoms that are highly effective.
Zhou Yunzhen no longer hesitated, he said to Yang Lao: "Where is the small glass bottle you applied the medicine just now?" ”
Yang Lao was stunned for a moment, "Is it any use?" ”
"Yes!"
"Lend me one."
Yang Lao handed it to him, Zhou Yunzhen looked at the small bottle, fortunately, the white medicine had all been poured out, and the bottle was empty.
Zhou Yunzhen bent down, he used a fruit knife to cut open the body of the poisonous snake, used the knife to take its blood, put it in an empty bottle, and sealed it.
