Chapter 69: The Strange Snake
Wu Song knew that Yang Shu had made a living by catching snakes all year round, and he should have seen any snake, and he was indeed very excited tonight, he must have caught some strange poisonous snake, he was childlike for a while, and said with a smile:
"Brother Yang, what kind of poisonous snake is it, let me see it!"
"I don't know, I searched for a day in the mountains and caught a poisonous snake, this kind of snake is extremely rare, its whereabouts are mysterious, I used to encounter one in a year, but catching this one, it made me work hard for one more night!" Yang Shu said excitedly as if he had met a bosom friend.
"What, since you've caught it, why would it cost you an extra night?" Wu Song was even more surprised.
Yang Shu waved his fist, opened his mouth and smiled: "Originally, I had caught more than ten rare poisonous snakes, but after catching this one, I immediately threw away the more than ten snakes, in contrast, they didn't enter the stream at all, I was embarrassed at that time, and it was naturally good to dedicate this poisonous snake to Dutou, but at that time, you told the villain to send a few over, how can one count a few, if you really send it, don't blame me for being lazy, I also complain that I have no ability." ”
So I went to the dead woods behind the mountain, and turned over the fallen leaves, not to think that it was a very simple matter, and that the dangers were to be known later, and that I would not have taken any risks if I had not shown my skills in front of you, and of course it was because of the first snake that my temper was aroused, and I swore that I must catch two poisonous snakes that were more powerful than the first. ”
"As a result, the second one was also caught for me, so I used the first and second ones as bait, set a trap, and waited for most of the night, and finally caught the third snake when the sun was just coming out!"
"Oh, Brother Yang, just listening to you say that, I'm already itching. Wu Song was so anxious that he stomped his feet and urged: "Don't buy Guanzi, seeing is believing, quickly take it out and show it to me." ”
"Naturally, it's for the head of the capital. The more Yang Shu spoke, the more excited he became, his hands kept rubbing each other, he kept walking on the stone street, walked forward for a zhang, turned left and walked for a zhang, and then left for a zhang, and finally walked a space of one zhang square, squatted on the ground, thought for a while, and then walked a square, this time the range was more than doubled, and after thinking for a while, he said to himself: "It should be possible." ”
"Dutou, let's go pick up some dry firewood and place it in the square I just walked!"
After Yang Shu finished speaking, without waiting for Wu Song to agree, he went to find dry firewood, Wu Song was already hanging by him at this time, and what he let him do was also completed quickly.
In less than a cup of tea, the two of them surrounded a square with firewood, and Yang Shu took out dozens of cloth bags out of nowhere, filled in the gaps between the dry firewood, and then quickly ran to pull a large bundle of grass back, mysteriously untied a cloth bag from his waist, and said with a smile:
"Dutou, please look!"
"Whoosh"
As soon as the cloth bag was untied, a crimson electric light flashed from it, which instantly fell into the square, constantly circling and swimming, Wu Song fixed his eyes and saw that it was a small red snake, about two feet long, with a faint green light in its eyes, like two emeralds in the flames.
"This snake is very peculiar!" Wu Song couldn't help but say.
When Yang Shu heard this, he was very happy: "What's so strange?"
"Generally, the snake is in the cloth bag, it will feel very safe, and it will be quiet, and it will definitely not untie the bag, and take the initiative to jump out.
"Dutou really observed, this snake is very aggressive, quiet can not be half a minute, even if it is put into a cloth bag, it is also in the swimming in it, there is endless strength on the body, at any time to find an opportunity to jump out, but he is not a red snake, but called the fire snake, and the red snake is a word, but it is very different. ”
After Yang Shu finished speaking, he picked up a handful of grass and threw it into the square, as soon as the grass entered, the fire snake immediately pounced, it was really as fast as lightning, Wu Song asked himself if he gave it a sudden attack, he might not be able to dodge.
The fire snake slashed across the grass, Wu Song's nose immediately asked about a burning smell, and when he fixed his eyes, the grass turned into ashes, he was amazed, and he was also very puzzled: "Brother Yang, this snake passed through the grass, and the grass immediately turned into ashes, but you surrounded it with dry firewood, why?"
"Dutou, the reason why this snake is called a fire snake is because it can turn things into ashes like fire wherever it passes. Yang Shu said proudly: "It also has another name, called starvation, that is, where it passes, the living beings are devastated, and there is no grass, you should pay attention to the word 'living soul', it can only make things with life and aura turn into ashes, and things without life will not work, so in the face of dry firewood and cloth bags, it is helpless." ”
Wu Song felt very interesting when he heard this, and immediately asked: "This first snake is already so peculiar, the second one must be even more incredible, by the way, you said to look for it under the dead leaves, it is hidden under the dead leaves, you said to risk your life, I can't guess this, let's reveal it quickly." ”
Yang Shu was also anxious to show it to Wu Song, he took a few dry firewoods and threw them into the square, the fire training snake immediately dodged, and the range of activity was reduced a lot, he threw three dry firewood one after another, and the fire training snake only had half a foot square of activity space, so he could only curl up his body.
Yang Shu jumped inside, opened the cloth bag, and put it in the small circle, whoosh, the fire training snake jumped into the cloth bag as fast as lightning, Yang Shu tightened the rope, tied the mouth of the bag, and the fire training snake still swam in it, Wu Song was very surprised.
Yang Shu took out another cloth bag from his waist, untied the bag, poured it into the square, snapped, and fell out of a piece of dry firewood, about a foot long, no different from the dry firewood he picked up just now.
Suddenly, the dry firewood moved upward, revealing two small eyes, and a stiff dry firewood seemed to soften, and quickly swam to the dry firewood next to it, and immediately returned to its original state, as if it was a dry firewood that had been placed there.
"This camouflage technique is truly amazing. Wu Song praised in his heart: "No wonder Yang Shu said that he risked his life, this poisonous snake is hidden under the dead leaves, who can find it, if you want me to come and find it, I guess I gave it a bite, or I don't know what to bite." ”
"Please look at it. Yang Shu seemed to have been prepared, took out a blood-red toad from a small cloth bag, and put it into the square, "quack", the toad screamed twice, then jumped to the wall, and soon came to the snake's side, pop, Wu Song only felt a flower in front of him, the snake like dry wood had bitten the toad, and the action was even faster than the fire snake, in an instant, the blood-red toad turned jet black, it can be seen that the snake venom is very powerful, Wu Song couldn't help but gasp.
"Brother Yang, it's not that I'm presumptuous, if I encounter this snake, its attack speed is so fast, I guess I won't be able to dodge!" Wu Song sighed: "What's the name of this snake?"
"There is no name, we snake catchers call it dry firewood, there is no other way to catch this snake, you must first take the snake medicine, wrap a thick layer of cloth on your hands, slowly turn over the dead leaves to find, it will definitely be bitten, you can only ask God to worship the Buddha, he bites a thick cloth, if it bites other parts, even if it takes a snake bite, it can only protect the heart, lifelong disability is certain. ”
"Hey, Brother Yang, it's not a big deal for me, why do you take such a risk to catch it!" Wu Song said.
"Death for a confidant!" Yang Shu said proudly: "The little things in the capital are big things in the hearts of the villains!"
Wu Song knew that this kind of charlatan was the most righteous, as long as he obeyed you, he would be used by you for life, and you would not be as polite as he was anymore, so he didn't say anything, just nodded and smiled.
"Brother Yang, these two snakes are already so powerful, the third snake, even if you scratch my head, it is unimaginable, even if you take it out!"
