Chapter 114: Research

Zhang Qing looked back at the direction where the little beasts had fled just now, but unfortunately it was probably because the trouble on their side was too intense, or even the little beasts were scared when they saw the snake floating on the surface and went ashore. Anyway, at some point, they had long since disappeared, and there were no other animals even near a few nearby puddles.

Zhang Qing had no choice but to run to the distance and catch an animal resembling a small wild boar from another group of pits more than a mile away - this is the lowest herbivore in the swamp, the moss pig, which is good for nothing but strong fertility, and is considered the basic food of all carnivores. also grabbed a long-necked waterfowl with a demon rope tied in a circle, and then returned to Ah Longyin with one hand and one hand.

After Zhang Qing left, Ah Longyin began to prepare, she first took out a small bamboo tube, which was open on both sides, and there was a push rod with a small piston on one side, which looked like an oversized syringe except for no needle. This was specially made by Zhang Qing after discovering a viscous resin similar to rubber.

This kind of thing can easily help a family of medical researchers to handle a variety of liquids, and has won unanimous praise from everyone. And now it was taken out by Ah Longyin to collect the miasma wrapped in the cloak.

Dealing with the miasma is very simple, Ah Longyin put on deerskin gloves, held his breath and opened a small opening in the cloak, and then quickly inserted the bamboo tube into it, directly absorbing the miasma in it. Although the method is very crude and certainly not as sophisticated as the various methods in the laboratory, it is already advanced technology in this era.

When she plugged the bamboo tube with a stopper, she began to observe the snake head on the ground. I have to say that the life of snakes is tenacious, and the snakes that live here are the best among them. At this moment, the head of the snake, which had already dried up the blood, was still twitching, occasionally rolling, and the snake's kiss was constantly opening and closing, as if it wanted to bite something.

It's a pity that Ah Longyin has been playing with poison since she was a child, not to mention a snake head, even if she is a live poisonous snake, she must be obedient under her flute. Even if the snake's strong vitality makes it not be controlled by Ah Longyin, it can't hurt the girl, and Ah Longyin easily stepped on the back to extract venom from the fangs.

The snake has two venom glands, one is used to store miasma, just now Zhang Qing's knife has destroyed the bottom of this venom gland, and the remaining miasma has also been sprayed by it towards Ah Longyin, which is already empty at this time.

The other venom gland was used to store the venom of the liquid behind the fangs in the upper jaw, and she carefully squeezed the venom gland behind the fangs with a large-headed bamboo stick, and at the same time placed a small porcelain bottle under the fangs. Soon the venom was seen flowing down the venom glands to the teeth, and then falling into the bottle drop by drop. By the time Zhang Qing came back, the venom in the venom gland had been basically squeezed dry, and the small porcelain bottle with the thickness of an egg was probably half full, and it seemed that compared to other types of poisonous snakes, the venom of the snake was still quite large. Of course, the size of the snake also needs to be considered, and the average venomous snake will not grow so big.

"How, is it done?" Zhang Qing stretched his neck to watch Ah Longyin's movements while carrying the small animal in his hand.

The young lady quickly put away the venom, then kicked the snake's head open, turned around and said with full vitality: "It's basically done, you put them here, I'll test the toxicity, you go and deal with the snake's body." ”

After speaking, she took the prey in Zhang Qing's hand and began to eagerly start the test - after all, they have been together day and night for a year and a half, and Zhang Qing can't completely guarantee that she won't be smooth, so the women in the family have learned a lot of earth words like "get it" and "give it". And Zhang Qing has already given up treatment, as long as people don't doubt his origin, some novel words will no longer be closed, anyway, others will not be so big as to think that Zhang Qing is borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul. Because many of these words are refined, people feel very reasonable when they hear them, and they are even considered to be proof of innate wisdom.

Gossip aside, Zhang Qing went to lift the snake body, and like the snake head, it didn't look completely dead, it was still shaking and twitching. Of course, Zhang Qing knew that this was because of the residual stimulation of its nerve signals, and the snake without its head would have died a long time ago.

He used a knife to peel off the snakeskin, this work Zhang Qing has been learning for a year and a half, and he has skinned countless skins from various animals. Therefore, even if it is the first time to deal with such a large snake, it is still very easy to complete.

He carefully smeared some of the ashes he had left on the fire yesterday on the inside of the leather, then rolled it up and put it in his backpack. The snake skin has many functions, and in line with the principle of not wasting it, even if it is a small snake for testing, he will make the best use of it. As for the ashes, they were used to prevent the skin from rotting, and they had to run outside for a long time, and they had no time to dispose of the loot until they returned to the bamboo grove valley.

Then he cut open the belly of the snake, and the poor rabbit was taken out, but unfortunately because of suffocation and corrosion, the rabbit at this time not only broke its bones and tendons for a long time, but even its fur was already pitted.

Zhang Qing took out the iron hook from the snake's flesh, there were already some traces of corrosion on it, but it should still be able to hold on to several snakes of sufficient length.

Toss the hook aside and prepare to wash it later. What Zhang Qing has to do next is the most important step - to take the gall. This time he came here to get the snake gall, he had to familiarize himself with this little snake first, to prevent it from being difficult to catch a qualified snake later, but because his hands destroyed the snake gall, it would be funny.

Zhang Qing first found the snake's anus, then estimated the position of its head to half of the anus, and then slowly touched this place with his hand. Sure enough, after a while, I felt a slightly solid, rolling round object, which was the gallbladder of the snake.

He straightened the gallbladder neatly, then cut a slit slightly lower, put two fingers of his left hand into it, pinched the part connecting the gallbladder and his body, and slowly pulled it out.

When all the snake gall bladders were removed, he immediately cut off the bile ducts with a knife, and then neatly tied the remaining bile ducts into a knot before carefully observing the gadget.

I don't know if it's because of the purple algae, it's not an ordinary blue-green, but a dark brown with a light purple tinge. The snake's gallbladder was only the size of a quail's egg, which was obviously not what Oboni wanted, but Zhang Qing put it in a porcelain vase, and then began to take other useful things on the snake's body.

Ou Boni was born from the Saint Miao tribe, who lived in the mountains and forests and lived by hunting. So there is a strange devotion in the treatment of prey.

Not to kill, not to waste, not to indulge, I hunt wild beasts because I need their flesh, and everything is to be used to the best of my ability. Even if she has left her hometown and come to Yunzhou, she is still following this ancient tradition, and at the same time, she also taught Ah Longyin and later Zhang Qing in this way.

And Zhang Qing didn't know how many guinea pigs died when he was in medical school, but the teacher also taught him to respect these experimental animals as much as possible, so it coincided with the tradition of Oboni, so that he accepted the theory of the Holy Miao tribe without any sense of disobedience, and now the useful parts of the snake are preserved, and they are ready to take it back.

However, although he wants to make the best use of it, he can only abandon the most snake meat, because this snake meat has a certain toxicity, and ordinary people can cause severe diarrhea when they eat it, and although the warrior can use internal qi to dissolve it, but in the case of no shortage of food, it is impossible for the two of them to do such a meaningless thing in the dangerous swamp.

And although humans can't eat it, some scavenging beasts and insects will like this big meal, and it won't take a day to be wiped out if it's left near the water. In this way, this can be regarded as a kind of making the best use of things.

By the time Zhang Qing dealt with the snake body, Ah Longyin over there had almost finished the experiment. The moss pig could already be seen frozen to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the waterfowl shivering, looking cold.

"How's that, what did you find?" Zhang Qing leaned over and asked curiously.

"I stabbed the snake venom into the body of this mossy pig, and it didn't seem to feel a lot of pain, but instead showed symptoms similar to vertigo. The girl gave a detailed introduction.

And its pupils also spread rapidly, its voice became hoarse, and at the same time, its heart beat slowly, and finally it couldn't even move, so it was just hard. ”

Diving was so fun, tiring, squeezed out time to write a chapter. Also, have you eaten dumplings on the winter solstice?
