Chapter 671 Ocelot?
He is a normal person, and there is no normal person who is not afraid of snakes. Only A Guang, a pervert, caught snakes and played with them every day when he was a child. They were often scared when they were young.
However, because of his ability to catch snakes, he attracted a bunch of children around him.
Children are prone to admiration and find it exciting and fun. In addition, they are short of food and clothing. His skills can satisfy everyone's cravings, and many children want to play with him.
Snake meat is also meat. When they were young, they often used broken earthen pots to cook snake soup on picnics in the mountains.
A Guang held the snake's head with one hand, and with the other hand, he twisted the snake's body around his arm, grabbed it in his hand, and raised it towards them. They were so scared that their necks shrank back, but they didn't move back.
"Bring the bamboo basket here, why are you just standing there?"
"Don't I want to admire your glory first? You are the most handsome when you catch a snake."
Ye Yaodong opened the bamboo cover on the bamboo basket and handed it to him.
"Are you comforting yourself? Apart from being inferior to you, I am better than you in every aspect!"
As Aguang said, he put the snake's tail first towards the bamboo basket, and then dropped the snake's head. Ye Yaodong quickly closed the lid.
"Come on, stop bragging, I'm the most handsome youngster in the whole village! Keep going, catch more before dark, and we can recycle the stew after use."
"You can have this!"
"I have chickens at home!" Azheng said excitedly. "When it gets dark and the chickens have all returned to their cages, I will go catch one."
"Will your wife scold you?"
"No, I have made a lot of money this year, and my back is straight. I can kill them all in one pot!"
"I understand, then just take it away from the chicken coop that night. Just a snake and a chicken, monogamous, perfect!"
"ah?"
Ah Zheng was dumbfounded, he was just bragging.
Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and praised, "Hahaha, Dongzi is right, one snake and one chicken, one husband, one wife, one pot a day!"
"Hey... I'm just telling you, my mother can break my legs if I carry away the whole chicken coop! Otherwise, I will eat my family's food today, my eldest sister's food tomorrow, my second sister's food the day after tomorrow, and my eldest sister's food the day after tomorrow. My third sister’s will be divided evenly, so we’ll be fine if we catch my fourth sister’s the day after tomorrow.”
Ye Yaodong almost made him laugh.
"You're clearly doing this by eating the old stuff, dividing it evenly, and getting the rain and dew equally?"
Everyone didn't understand what "gnawing old" meant, but it didn't affect their understanding of what he meant at all. They were all envious and talked while walking.
"You're really good!"
"Quite good at planning..."
"The abacus is crackling, the risks are shared, and you don't have to eat less. If you have more sisters, you will be great!"
Azheng was also a little proud, "I also send fish, shrimps and crabs to their family. This is called reciprocity."
"Come on, I am tired of the dragon and phoenix soup every day, and I have to change the taste occasionally. After recycling, we will fry, fry, boil and stew all over again, and have a whole snake feast."
"Where can you cook so many kinds of things? It's not troublesome. Just stew them all in one pot..."
"Are you stupid? What does the fat man do? You can't ask him to do it. Why bother? Isn't this all his job? Let's just wait and eat."
"Right……"
They walked and chatted without fear of a venomous snake jumping out.
Venomous snakes are relatively rare here. Unless they jump in unexpectedly, they are mostly non-venomous cauliflower snakes.
There are still many kinds of snakes called cauliflower snakes in rural areas. One is the black-browed snake, and the other is the king snake. However, some also call other snakes cauliflower snakes, such as tiger-spotted colubrid, double-banded snake, and white-striped snake. Snake etc.
The cauliflower snake is also unique to China. Just like the native dog is called the Chinese garden dog, the cauliflower snake can also be called the Chinese garden snake.
Cauliflower snakes are snake-eating, and are more flexible and powerful than ordinary snakes. They can easily kill snakes smaller than cauliflower snakes. They are like the king of snakes. Even venomous snakes will drink up when they encounter them. end.
Therefore, there is also a saying that "there are cauliflowers in every mile, but no poisonous snakes in ten miles".
"The Waking of Insects has just passed. It's not summer yet, so there shouldn't be that many snakes yet. Do we have to look for mouse holes?"
They walked around and saw nothing more, Ye Yaodong suggested.
"That's fine. Let's look for them separately. It's too inefficient to gather together."
"But I don't dare to catch him. Can I come with you?" Ah Zheng said timidly.
A Guang looked at him with disdain, "Okay, let's look for them two by two. If you find them, just tell me and I'll go and catch them."
"Okay, okay, then please leave it to Brother Guangzi." Xiaoxiao joked.
Ye Yaodong also handed the bamboo basket in which he just caught the snake to Azheng, "Take it!"
Ah Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Can't you give me the other empty one?"
"No, I'm just training your courage. Take it, there's a master beside you, what are you afraid of? We two weaklings need an empty one more."
"All right."
Work in pairs to find efficiencies.
The weather has just warmed up now, and the daytime temperature is not that high or hot. The cauliflower snake basically does not leave the cave too far, and mainly hunts in the area near the mountain cave.
Looking for mouse holes with a purpose can still be rewarding.
No, Ye Yaodong and Xiao Xiao just climbed up a slope and walked into an edge of the mountain road. They happened to see another cauliflower snake appearing in the grass not far away, and this one looked quite big. It felt like it was one meter long. Seven.
I don’t know if it just swallowed a mouse. Its belly is bulging and it looks a bit disgusting and scary. It is still moving in place without wandering away.
"Ah Guang, Ah Guang, hurry up, hurry up, there's something going on..."
There was no one else on the surrounding hillsides, only a few of them, and they were not far apart. After shouting, Ah Guang and Ah Zheng hurried over.
The snake didn't know if it heard the movement on their side, but it spit out the bulging mass in its abdomen, and then moved quickly to escape.
Ye Yaodong and Xiaoxiao didn't care to look at the black stuff it spit out, and immediately stretched out their long sticks to stop it from leaving.
In order to prevent it from hitting the snake on the stick, they entangled the two people's sticks, and they used each other. As soon as the snake entangled itself, the other person would pick it off, but would not let it go away, just delaying time.
A Guang jumped down a hillside and ran over quickly, "I caught another one, this one is bigger."
Maybe it was because the big thing in his stomach had just been vomited out, and it was tortured for a while under their sticks. The snake didn't look that flexible, so Aguang got it by just picking it up and grabbing it.
Ye Yaodong was stunned when he saw his fast movements, "Looking at how easy it was for you to catch him, I almost thought I knew it!"
"What's so difficult about this? Why don't you give it a try? Is this for you to hold on to?"
He waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it! Anyway, with you, I will be a good brother for life!"
"Cut~"
"Put it in quickly."
Ah Zheng immediately hid the bamboo basket in his hand behind his back, "Put it in Dongzi's bamboo basket. If the two of them are put together, they will fight. Later, the big snake will eat the little snake, and it will be useless to catch it."
"Normally not. If you want to eat, you'll have to eat venomous snakes, unless you're extremely hungry."
"Then put it where you are! Distribute it evenly!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him speechlessly, "You are affecting my efficiency in finding snakes. Hurry up. If you keep nagging me, I won't take you to do good things tonight."
"You want to threaten me too?"
A Guang urged: "Hurry up, what are the ink stains? They have to be installed anyway. You fill them here first, and then install them there."
People under the eaves have to bow their heads. The two of them are one family. He is an outsider, 2 to 1. He can't speak loudly. Damn it!
Ah Zheng grunted a few words, quickly opened the lid, and handed the bamboo basket to him, asking him to put the snake in.
Ye Yaodong took a stick and poked at the lump of black stuff that the cauliflower snake had spit out just now.
"It's really a mouse."
"It looks wet and a little disgusting."
"This was spit out by the snake just now."
"Evil~"
"If you catch it later and let it digest naturally, you might be able to grow some meat." Ye Yaodong said shockingly without caring about the feelings of others.
"Evil~ You are so disgusting that I don't even want to eat it."
"That's just right. There's still a few more bites of meat left for everyone to share."
They shook their shoulders in disgust and hurriedly stayed away from him.
Immediately afterwards, they searched separately.
The weather has just warmed up, and snakes do not move widely, so it is relatively easy to find them around the mountains.
When it got dark, they found three more, but they went a little further.
"Next time, I'll make a few snake traps and put them on the mountain. It will ensure harvest every day, save trouble, and come in handy at critical times."
"We'll talk about it next time. Let's finish today's work first. It's getting dark, so I guess I'll have to work in the dark."
"We can make more cages. We just saw a pheasant and a hare, but we didn't catch them. It's a pity..."
"Ahhh...muntjac! There are muntjacs!" Suddenly, Azheng screamed.
The others turned around in surprise and saw a yellow figure jumping over.
"Damn it, there really is a muntjac!"
"Hurry up... catch up and have a look..."
The four of them were so excited that they quickly chased after them, but their eight legs couldn't outrun the deer's four legs. It ran uphill and downhill for a few steps, and then lost sight of them.
"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't bring a gun."
Aguang also regretted that he had a gun at home, so he thought of catching a snake, so he didn't bring it over.
"Wait, no, listen, there seems to be another sound?" Ye Yaodong pricked up his ears, "There seems to be a cat meowing?"
"Wild cats, right? Stray cats are everywhere, and there are quite a lot of noises at night on the mountain." Azheng held the bamboo basket carefully in his hand and said casually.
Aguang and Xiaoxiao held flashlights in their hands and shined them everywhere. It was dark and the light was poor, so their field of vision was limited. They looked around and found nothing.
However, when they walked two meters further, they heard a clearer sound of cat meowing, and the flashlight also shone on the corner of the downhill slope.
A Guang, who was walking in front, stopped and took a closer look, frowning and identifying carefully.
Everyone saw that he was not leaving, and the beam of the flashlight had stopped moving, and their eyes fell on the spot where the flashlight stayed.
"Grass, it's not a stray cat, it's an ocelot!"
"Huh? Ocelot?"
"Ocelot?"
