The cauliflower snake entered the fish basket, Chen Fan picked it up and looked inside.

Hey, curled up in a ball, it's ugly.

Security and Captain Yang were hurriedly running this way, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Captain Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Chen Fan with a puzzled face, "How did you let it get into it on its own?" ”

Chen Fan said confidently, "It's not simple, it makes you chase dizzy, I just need to put the fish basket on its forward route, and it will obediently drill into it." ”

Everyone was speechless for a moment, they chased hard for a long time, and as a result, they automatically got into Chen Fan's fish basket, or got into it in full view of everyone.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, who will believe this kind of thing?

After being stunned for a few seconds, Captain Yang coughed dryly, raised his head and said, "Just catch it, that, Xiaoju, you find something to plug the fish basket and take it to a distance for me to put it." ”

It turned out that Yang Ju and the four of them also followed at this time, and Captain Yang asked his daughter to work.

Without waiting for Yang Ju to speak, Accountant Liu shouted on the side, "Huh? Let it go, such a big snake can top two catties of meat. ”

There were also a few voices from the crowd behind.

"Snake meat is a good thing, eat it to clear heat and detoxify."

"Yes, it can also get rid of rheumatism, reduce swelling and relieve pain."

"Didn't Liu Jiajiang stew a pot of snake meat the year before last, how good it is to keep it and eat it."

Captain Yang turned around, crossed his hands on his hips, and said angrily, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, a few young babies know how to fart, and Lao Liu also followed suit." This is a cauliflower snake, is it a beneficial snake, do you understand?

Where there are cauliflower snakes, there are not only few rats, but also no poisonous snakes, cauliflower snakes are the 'king of snakes', specializing in poisonous snakes, so as long as there are cauliflower snakes, that place is 'clean'.

If it weren't for the snake making a hole in the back slope, I would not have driven it away for fear that it would come out and startle Xiao Chen. ”

Then he turned to look at Chen Fan, "Don't be afraid, this snake is not poisonous, take it to the place where I grow fodder and grass and release it, I can ensure that there are no poisonous insects and rats in that area." ”

At this time, Yang Ju had already rolled a ball of straw, and timidly held it up next to him and handed it to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan didn't refuse, took the straw ball to block the mouth of the fish basket, and then said with a smile, "Captain, you said that it was a beneficial snake, so keep it for me." ”

Captain Yang was taken aback, "Huh? Do you want to keep it? ”

Security was also full of strangeness, confirming that the mouth of the fish basket had been blocked, before he took a few steps forward and took a closer look, and then looked at Chen Fan, "Are you sure you want to raise this thing?" ”

Chen Fan smiled, "It's not to raise, it's to let it be a nest outside the yard, a few days ago, there were rats in our yard, and with this snake, it will definitely reduce the scourge of rats." ”

Hearing him say this, Jiang Lili's four girls couldn't help but turn pale, and their arms were tightly clasped together to express silent protest.

It's just that Jiang Lili is still not used to talking in front of too many people, and Huang Ying and the three of them came with a learning attitude and a different kind of mind, and almost never thought of refuting Chen Fan's opinions, so at this moment, no one in the residents of the Zhiqing Point objected.

Captain Yang saw that they didn't speak, and Chen Fan had the heart to leave the snake behind, so he nodded, "Then you have to place the snake yourself, although this snake doesn't provoke it, it won't bite, but it's too close to the yard, and occasionally it will get into the yard, and even run to the room, it's hard to say at that time, if you don't get it, you will take a bite, even if the cauliflower snake is not poisonous, it hurts to bite it, so you must be optimistic." ”

Chen Fan smiled and said, "This is simple, I will dig a little impatiens and look at the south of the river when I go back, and plant them at the door of the room, and the snake will not come." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Security asked curiously, "What are the impatiens you are talking about, and what Wangjiangnan can repel snakes?" ”

Chen Fan nodded and said with a smile, "Impatiens and Wangjiangnan are both medicinal herbs, in addition to their medicinal value, they still have a miraculous effect on repelling snakes, no matter what kind of snake they are, when they smell the smell of these two plants, they will take a detour." ”

Captain Yang blinked and asked, "How do you know this?" ”

Chen Fan, "What is written in the book, just read more books." ”

Captain Yang and the others were speechless for a while.

Therefore, I hate dealing with intellectuals the most, and I seem to be particularly uneducated at every turn.

Since Chen Fan has the means to deal with it, Jiang Lili and the others are not afraid, and others will not object. So they went to the back mountain to pick up soil, and Chen Fan carried the fish basket to the woods next to him to release the fish.

There is a distance of about 50 meters between Zhiqing Point and the river embankment, and there is also a ditch three or four meters wide, which is suitable for the cauliflower snake to settle down.

He went into the woods, and did not hurry to release the snake, but held the fish basket and said to the snake, "Did you hear it just now, they said that they were going to stew you and eat it, and I rescued you." ”

The cauliflower snake is a little confused, I don't understand what you're saying, how do you know what you're talking about just now?

However, its brain is a little small, and it has never met anyone who can speak snake words before, at this time, Chen Fan said anything, it believed anything, and immediately spit out the snake letter, "Oh." ”

How did the life-saving grace react? It's too far worse than a falcon.

However, Chen Fan didn't care about it, and continued, "But I won't save you in vain, from today onwards, this yard, as well as the dirt slope behind, will be entrusted to you with the responsibility of cleaning up the rats, and if there are other snakes, you will also be responsible for driving them away." ”

Cauliflower Snake, "Can you eat it?" ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, forgetting that this kind of non-venomous snake is known as the "king of snakes", because they eat the same kind, no matter how powerful the poisonous snake is, in front of the cauliflower snake, it will only be eaten.

Well, except for the large pythons, the main thing is that they can't gnaw, but there are no pythons here.

Chen Fan, "Whatever you want, anyway, just one, from now on, no rats and other snakes are allowed in my territory, understand?" ”

Cauliflower Snake continued to spit out the letter, "Understood. ”

Chen Fan, "Also, don't bite people, run away immediately when you see someone, if someone beats you, you will report ......"

In the middle of his sentence, he thought that the snake couldn't speak, so he quickly changed his words, "You just run to me, or find a hole to hide, understand?" ”

Cauliflower Snake, "Understood." ”

Only then did Chen Fan pull out the straw ball, put the fish basket on the ground, and the cauliflower snake quickly crawled out, then curled up in a ball, straightened up and looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan's face fell, "What's the matter, you're not convinced, you want to go head-to-head with me?" ”

As he spoke, he found a pebble the size of a pigeon's egg in his hand, shook his wrist, and knocked down a sparrow with a snap.

The cauliflower snake suddenly trembled, "I don't want to go it alone." ”

Chen Fan clapped his hands and smiled coldly, "I don't want to catch mice alone." ”

After a pause, he said, "Also, don't try to run, look up." ”

The cauliflower snake raised its head, and a swallow falcon on the branch was looking at it with eager eyes, and when it saw the swallow falcon, the cauliflower snake couldn't help but tremble again, and quickly slipped away.

Chen Fan frowned slightly, "Why are you going?" ”

Cauliflower snake, "catch mice." ”

Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction, this is like work.

……

On April 11, February 23 of the lunar calendar, Chen Fan got up early in the morning as usual and rushed to work at the brigade headquarters.

"Volunteer" Zhang Cui'e was already waiting there, lying in front of the desk reading and studying, not only that, but she also cleaned the entire broadcasting room, and even the floor was smooth.

Seeing this scene, Teacher Chen nodded with satisfaction, yes, yes, after accepting this student, he was really much more relaxed.

Then look at your own teacup, which has already brewed half a cup of green tea.

Chen Fan didn't have tea himself, if he didn't guess wrong, it should have been Zhang Cui'e who scavenged it from her uncle Captain Zhang's house, and his filial piety was really commendable.

It was only at this time that Zhang Cui'e, who was reading a book, heard the movement and came back to her senses.

Seeing that it was Chen Fan, she quickly got up and shouted respectfully, "Hello, teacher." ”

Then lift the kettle and fill the half cup of tea.

Chen Fan pulled a chair and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the temperature was just right.

Only then did he raise his head and look at Zhang Cui'e, and said with a smile, "How do you feel after studying here for 5 days?" ”

Zhang Cui'e grinned and blossomed, "It feels good, I have learned what you taught to turn on and off, and how to read the radio." ”

Then his face quickly fell, and he pouted and said, "It's just that learning electrical maintenance is a bit slow, and I'm still familiar with the main parts." ”

Chen Fan put the teacup on the table and laughed softly, "It's just the beginning, don't worry." Switching on and off is just the simplest way to use the machine, not to mention that you have gone to school, even if you don't know how to read, you can learn it quickly, this is nothing to be proud of. ”

Zhang Cui'e's face turned red, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and muttered, "I, I don't have pride." ”

Chen Fan waved his hand and continued, "I didn't mean to criticize you, I just gave you a wake-up call. There is also the reading of radio, which seems simple, but in fact it is more complicated. First of all, Mandarin is the foundation, you can only read through a short passage barely in the case of pinyin annotation, and the pronunciation is not very standard, so it is not possible, you must study hard, it is best to recite aloud for an hour every morning, and the progress will definitely be obvious.

It's something about electrical maintenance, you don't need to be in a hurry, first grasp the electrical knowledge of the middle school stage, and then I will find someone to help, go to the county to buy two books on electrical maintenance, it is best to buy a few sets of radio parts, you try to assemble and repair it yourself, and then slowly step by step, sooner or later there will be a day to master the knowledge of electrical appliances. ”

Zhang Cui'e nodded vigorously with gratitude on her face, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand, took out the alarm clock and put it on the table, "The time is almost up, ready to turn it on." ”

Zhang Cui'e immediately turned straight, quickly put away the textbooks on the table, and then calmed down, staring at the alarm clock, waiting for the start of the broadcast time.

At 6:59, she turned on the radio and radio in turn, and the singing of "Dongfang Hong" immediately came out of the loudspeaker outside.

Before the start of the radio station's program, the song is usually played to debug the equipment.

Seeing that the device was playing normally, Zhang Cui'e breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Fan smiled, got up and said, "You watch here, I'll go to the commune to do something." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out.
