Chapter 170 How big must this snake be?
“What’s wrong?”
After picking a tree, Huang Can came to Chen Yang’s tree.
“Nothing.”
Chen Yang shook his head, feeling that Song Kaiming was a bit weird.
What does he want to show me?
A little curiosity arose in my heart.
Huang Can grabbed the branch and climbed up a few times, "Chen Guoliang's family is back, did you know?"
Hearing this, Chen Yang frowned slightly.
In the town a few days ago, Chen Yang drove the wasp and sent the couple to the hospital. Can they be cured so quickly?
It seems that the sting is still mild.
You know, when Huang Can was stung by a wasp, he stayed in the hospital for a week.
"When I came back from your house at noon, I met them. They are not completely healed yet. Their faces are still swollen, like pig heads. I laughed to death."
Huang Can was cheerful. Smiling, as if he had completely forgotten that he had done the same thing not long ago.
"Really? How many days have you been in good physical condition this time?" Chen Yang was not very interested and made a casual remark.
"These two are such a rotten couple."
Huang Can looked contemptuous, "That day, after they were stung by a wasp, it wasn't the proprietress of the Douhua Restaurant who thought they were pitiful and gave them a 120. Did you call an ambulance? These two old guys blackmailed me!”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t ask you to call 120. They just managed to get over this injury. I blame the boss lady for taking care of me.” It's noisy, causing them to spend more money, asking the boss lady to pay for their medicine..."
"Really or not?"
Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but be shocked.
Are there really such shameless people in this world?
“Why are you lying to me?”
Huang Can said jokingly, “The landlady was so angry that she was not easy to mess with, so she directly found a group of people to kill her. They blocked the hospital, and in the end, Chen Guoliang and his wife couldn't get any benefits, and they were afraid of spending more money, so they came back from the hospital dejected. "
Looking at the expression on this kid's face, he seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.
Chen Yang shook his head when he heard this. He has gained a lot of experience. It is true that the same rice can support all kinds of people, and there are all kinds of weird things.
"That's right."
Huang Can put away his smile and said, "There is another person who came back with them, which looks strange to me. Chen Guoliang and his wife nodded and bowed to him. I don't know where they came from. They are big and thick. He doesn’t look like a good person. I’m sure those two old guys hired some help. Chen Yang, you have to be careful, you might get into trouble with these two..."
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
Chen Guoliang and his wife are indeed some of the most shameless people Chen Yang has ever seen in his life.
In other words, Chen Yang has never seen such a shameless person.
Not only is it shameless, but it’s like dog-skin plaster, you can’t shake it off once it’s stuck.
Although it can't hurt you, it can disgust you to death.
To be honest, he doesn't like to provoke people like this, but now that he has, he can only find a way to solve it.
Chen Yang is not a passive person.
Chen Guangjun has not been released yet, and there is no doubt that these two couples will definitely come to trouble Chen Yang.
Therefore, Chen Yang felt that he might be more proactive and nip things in the bud.
......
After picking plums all afternoon, Chen Yang was very tired.
Although he was physically strong, he had never done such a thing before. After a long time, he was exhausted and his skin was red from the sun.
Dinner at Song Kaiming’s house in the evening.
It is common for neighbors to help each other with simple home-cooked meals, and there is no need to cook big dishes. No one is short of a meal these days.
As for wages, there is none. Just help me today and I will help you tomorrow.
After dinner, Song Kaiming stopped Chen Yang and mysteriously led him to the inner room.
Song Kaiming's house is still an old-fashioned adobe house, passed down from his grandfather's generation.
It is much more dilapidated than the old house of Chen Yang's family.
Although the old house of Chen Yang's family is also an old adobe house, it has been decorated. It looks old on the outside, but new inside.
The house of Song Kaiming's house looks old from the outside, but even older from the inside.
There is not much decent furniture.
The tiles on the roof are not turned over often. The last time Chen Yang came, it was raining heavily outside and light rain inside.
To be honest, the key is that Song Kaiming behaves badly.
As long as I work hard and run it well, this house won't be like this.
Of course, Chen Yang is just an outsider, so it’s hard to say anything.
Huang Can followed in and wanted to join in the fun, but was scolded by Song Kaiming.
If nothing else, this brother-in-law has a really bad temper.
The layout of old houses in rural areas is similar, with a main room in the middle and several rooms on the side.
Song Kaiming took Chen Yang into the bedroom and turned on the light. There was an indescribable smell in the room.
Chen Yang took a breath, but felt that it would be a bit impolite not to breathe.
At this moment, Song Kaiming directly opened the bed board.
Under the bed, on the Sanhe soil ground, there was a wooden cover like a manhole cover.
He opened the lid, and a dusty musty smell was immediately released.
In the early years, many rural families had the tradition of digging cellars at home to store sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like.
The old house of Chen Yang’s family used to exist, but it was no longer useful and was backfilled.
Chen Yang looked around and saw that it was dark inside.
He was thinking, what did Song Kaiming want to show him by calling him here in the middle of the night? Look at his sweet potatoes?
“Follow me.”
Song Kaiming didn't say much and jumped directly.
Chen Yang was shocked.
Uncle, you only have one foot, aren’t you afraid of falling to death?
“Come down quickly.”
Song Kaiming’s voice came from the cellar immediately.
Obviously, he didn't fall to his death.
Although he only has one foot, he is still quite strong.
Chen Yang jumped down immediately.
The cellar is not high, only about two or three meters. The air is a bit turbid, with a smell of earth and mold.
Song Kaiming's hands were groping around.
There was a click.
The cellar lit up.
A light was actually installed.
Chen Yang looked around, a little surprised.
This doesn't look like a cellar because I don't see any crops being stored. Instead, it looks more like a basement.
Several wooden pillars support the wooden beams, and you can see the soil on the wooden beams when you look up.
Chen Yangzhen was a little doubtful whether he could hold on. If he collapsed, would he just bury them?
Song Kaiming ignored it, picked up his crutches, and jumped towards a wooden door next to him.
There was a big lock hanging on the wooden door. Song Kaiming fumbled for a while and took out a key from his trouser pocket.
After a few fiddles, the lock was opened. Song Kaiming threw it aside and reached out to push open the wooden door.
Creaking...
The wooden door rubbed and made a harsh sound.
Behind the door is a larger basement. It's twenty to thirty square meters wide. Turn on the lights and you can see everything at a glance.
There are many clutter in the room.
Bows and arrows, knives, iron forks, spears, axes, nets...
Chen Yang even saw a few shotguns in the corner. The barrels were more than one meter long, and the gun bodies looked new, as if they had just been Made the same.
"Hey, Uncle Kaiming, this place is incredible."
Chen Yang felt that he had entered the weapons arsenal, although the arsenal was crude and a bit sloppy.
Is this what he wants to show me?
Song Kaiming came to the corner, opened a dusty tarpaulin, and revealed a box.
He had difficulty with his legs and feet, so he asked Chen Yang to move the boy to a conspicuous place under the light.
It was an old-fashioned red leather suitcase, which looked very old-fashioned.
The suitcase is not heavy either, at least Chen Yang didn't feel any weight.
Song Kaiming stood there, hesitated for a moment, and then leaned over to open the box.
The moment the box was opened, a bit of surprise appeared on Chen Yang's face.
In the box, there is a white, film-like thing.
Folded well.
Song Kaiming reached out and took out the things in the box. He looked up at Chen Yang, "What do you think this is?"
Chen Yang was startled.
He really didn't see it.
Song Kaiming shook his hand and shook the thing away.
Suddenly, a long white silk-like thing was pulled directly from Song Kaiming's feet to the other corner.
Under the light, it is white and reflective.
He took a closer look and immediately frowned.
"Snake shed?"
Chen Yang blurted out.
If you read it correctly, this thing is exactly a snake slough.
That is, when a snake grows, it reaches a certain period and sheds a layer of skin.
He stretched out his hand and touched it. It was undoubtedly a snake shed.
But.
He took a general look, and his expression changed slightly, "This is too big."
Just looking at this snake slough, it is more than a foot wide and three meters long. Many, obviously not all.
For such a big snake slough, how big must this snake be?
In Chen Yang's mind, he couldn't help but think of the King Cobra.
Although the King Cobra is big, it's not that big, right?
“Where did it come from?”
Chen Yang turned his head and looked at Song Kaiming, his face full of doubts.
"That year I picked up only such a small piece in Mi Xian Gou."
Song Kaiming's voice was very serious. He had never told anyone about this matter. Today is For the first time, I took the initiative to confide in outsiders.
"What year?"
"The year when the leg was broken."
Song Kaiming smiled bitterly, "With such a big slough, this snake will definitely not be small. Based on my understanding of snakes, it should be It is a snake with green bamboo leaves, but it is obviously unrealistic to be so big. It is more than a foot thick. I am afraid that ordinary pythons will not grow to this extent..."
"Uncle, stop it. "Legs, what year is it?"
Chen Yang subconsciously asked this question.
After the words came out of his mouth, he felt that he shouldn't ask, as it was a bit exposing his scars.
"2000, counting the time, it was 24 years ago."
Song Kaiming sighed, "At that time, I was not a few years older than you are now. County There was a drugstore owner who bought snake gallbladders at a high price. I was so full of energy at that time that I thought I could go anywhere in the mountains, so I went into the mountains alone and went to Mi Nian Gou..."
In 2000, obviously not It's the slough of a cockscomb snake, and it's not the slough of that king cobra.
Of course, it cannot be the big snake that was struck by lightning in Longtuo Cave, because that big snake died in the 1960s and 1970s.
"So, there is a big snake in Mi Nian Valley?"
Chen Yang felt a little numb. Since there is a snake shed, it must be proved that such a big snake has appeared in Mi Nian Valley.
I went to Mi Nian Gou twice, but why didn’t the snake show up?
Is this snake dead a long time ago, or is it deliberately hiding, or has it left the rice noodle ditch?
"I show you this thing to let you have some idea. You killed the cockscomb snake and removed the snake's nest. If this snake still exists, your behavior will... There is no chance that this big snake will be angered..."
He didn't expect that Chen Yang would go to Mi Nian Gou again, and even go to pick up the snake nest. After hearing Chen Yang talk about it this afternoon, he thought of bringing Chen Yang here to see this thing, as a reminder to him.
Some things must be seen with one’s own eyes to be convincing.
Chen Yang couldn't help but not believe such a big snake slough when it was placed in front of Chen Yang.
Mixiangou, there was indeed such a big snake.
"Uncle, can you give me this snake slough?" Chen Yang asked.
Song Kaiming nodded, "Take it, it's useless if you leave it here."
When he found this snake slough and brought it back, he actually wanted to show it to the villagers and show it off. Shocking and shocking.
But who would have expected that he would be attacked by a cockscomb snake and lose one of his legs. When he woke up, his temperament would change drastically. Instead, this thing would become his shadow, pressed at the bottom of the box. Over the years, except for his wife, there was no one else at all. I haven't shown it to anyone else.
Chen Yang was also unambiguous and said thank you.
After folding the snake slough carefully, Chen Yang looked around the room, "Uncle Kaiming, did you make all of these yourself?"
The room was full of various weapons, and it was obvious that many of them were handmade, which even Chen Yang was a little dazzled by.
“Some are bought and some are made by ourselves.”
Song Kaiming’s face showed a bit of sadness. He has been following the adults in the village since he was very young. We ran together in the mountains. He has a special love for the mountains.
However, the mountain hurt him, burying one of his legs, and almost ruining the rest of his life.
However, this still could not stop his love for the mountains. How many times in the middle of the night, he dreamed of galloping and running in the mountains.
Unfortunately, after waking up from the dream, I had to face reality, the reality of missing a leg.
In this life, I am destined to miss mountains.
The depression in his heart could not be eliminated, so some strange little hobbies were born. Song Kaiming fell in love with making and collecting weapons.
Some things are controlled and cannot be purchased, so he makes them quietly himself.
For example, those shotguns in the corner.
He did it himself. Although he never missed a shot after it was completed, every time he saw it, he felt full of achievement in his heart.
“Take a look for yourself, is there anything you like?”
Of course he still hopes to be recognized and appreciated by others for the things he made quietly.
Without him saying anything, Chen Yang was already looking around the room.
There are spears, spears, knives of all kinds, and animal traps of all kinds.
However, what interested Chen Yang was the firearms.
He took a shotgun and made a gesture.
The barrel is too long.
The style is very old.
The disadvantage is that it is troublesome to refill the gunpowder and iron sand every time you change the bomb.
The advantage is that it is very powerful and can cover a large area.
Hearing Song Kaiming said that he had never used this thing himself and its safety was unknown. Chen Yang looked at it for a while and then put it back in its place.
Once this thing explodes, it is very dangerous. He does not dare to joke with his own life.
