Chapter 52 Poison
I was just talking about the trap, but I actually saw one before I walked a few steps away.
The clamp was badly rusted and had been placed between several dogwood trees.
If the white cow hadn't eaten the dogwood flowers, Chen Ling wouldn't have noticed it.
"See, if this thing gets caught, your little legs will be useless."
Chen Ling pointed to the traps under some dogwood trees to scare Hei Wa and Xiao Jin.
As a result, the two little guys didn't know what was going on. They just wagged their tails and tilted their heads to look at him, looking puzzled.
When Chen Ling saw this, he picked up a dead branch and poked it into the clamp. He heard a "snap" sound and the branch was instantly cut off.
Now both the dog and the cow were frightened.
The fur of the two puppies exploded, and they barked at the trap.
"Well, now you know the danger."
Chen Ling smiled, led the cow and continued to walk forward with Wang Susu.
When you first enter the mountain forest, there are many thorns, locust trees and dogwoods.
Dogwood, also called jujube, is also a medicinal material. It has yellow flowers, green leaves and red fruits, which is very easy to identify.
But it has just bloomed now, and the fruits will not be fully mature until the eighth or ninth month of the lunar calendar.
It has no medicinal value at this time.
When they entered the forest, the young couple couldn't walk very fast.
Due to two rains in the past few days, a few mushrooms can be seen sporadically along the way.
But there are still too few and it is not worth picking.
When passing by a small bamboo forest, bamboo shoots sprouted densely.
Chen Ling looked a little hot-eyed and said to Wang Susu: "Even if it's not to collect medicine, I will go up the mountain again tomorrow for these bamboo shoots."
"Susu, you don't know, last time I was at the party Brother Sheng’s family is cooking, and he still has a big piece of bacon. Unfortunately, the dried bamboo shoots are from last year and are a bit damp, so the fried dishes are a bit less interesting.”
“If I use such fresh and tender spring bamboo shoots, I kept the incense and swallowed it with their tongues."
Wang Susu couldn't help but smile: "I see, you are just thinking about Brother Jusheng's bacon."
"Hey. , look what you said..."
"His family has made so much bacon, why don't people worry about it anymore?"
Chen Ling said matter-of-factly.
“Pfft.”
Wang Susu couldn’t help laughing: “If Brother Jusheng hears this, he will have to find time to eat two more meals with us even if he doesn’t say anything. "
Chen Ling also smiled. Just when he was about to say something, Wang Susu stopped him.
"Ah, be careful where you step..."
Chen Ling looked down and saw a gray-brown scorpion lying outside the crack of the stone not far from his feet, which was as long as a finger.
Then he took a closer look and said to Wang Susu: "It's okay, this is not a scorpion, it's the shell that the scorpion shed."
Wang Susu also saw clearly at this time and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. , gently caressing his chest and said: "I was stung by a scorpion once when I was a child. Since then, I have been particularly afraid of this thing. I can't help but feel heart palpitations whenever I see it."
After hearing this, Chen Ling hurriedly caught him Her hands offer comfort.
But after walking forward for a while, Chen Ling found a scorpion's shell a few steps away.
Needless to say, there must be a lot of scorpions around here.
Chen Ling picked up a shell, took a look at it, and then said to Wang Susu: "In the future, if you are alone, don't come here easily. You can tell by looking at the shells on the ground that there are a lot of scorpions here."
Wang Susu nodded with fear: "I have never entered the mountain from here before. I always walked up the mountain from the south, from our family's former farmland. I have never seen a scorpion."< br>
Poisonous insects such as scorpions come out and move around after their awakening of insects. Once the weather is warm and food is sufficient, they grow very fast, and most of them shed their shells at this time.
The mountains in the south are shady and don't get as much sunlight as the ones in the north, so the temperature is low, which is not a suitable growth environment for scorpions.
Even if there are not many, there are very few activities during the day, so it is difficult to encounter.
Chen Ling and Chen Ling were talking while walking, but Hei Wa and Xiao Jin ate up all the scorpion shells on the ground.
It wasn’t that I thought it was delicious, but I saw Chen Ling pinching one in his hand. I was curious and wanted to have a taste.
A one-month-old dog is a lively and energetic time.
He quickly lost interest in the scorpion shell and kept shuttling between the big trees. After a while, he started barking at a certain place. "Yeah, it's a snake!"
Wang Susu walked up to it first and shouted excitedly.
She is afraid of scorpions, but not snakes.
In the village where she lived when she was a child, many families kept snakes. Not only was she not afraid of them, she was also very kind to them.
Of course, scorpions are also nurturing, but after being stung once, they become a shadow of childhood, and they are very scary when they see them.
"Susu, don't get too close..."
Chen Ling hurriedly led the cow over and saw a snake with black and gray patterns, coiled on the stone under the big tree and spitting Hold the letter.
Although he is not big in size, you can tell he is a poisonous guy just by looking at the triangular head.
Chen Ling suddenly took a breath of cold air and hurriedly pulled Wang Susu to retreat.
Just now, the scorpion, this is the poisonous snake, is it so unfriendly for the first time in the mountains?
"It's okay Aling, don't be afraid, I won't let it bite us..."
Wang Susu smiled lightly at him, and then approached him lightly.
Chen Ling was stunned for two seconds. When he looked over again, he wanted to stop him, but he saw that his wife had already caught the poisonous snake in her hand.
Pinching the venomous snake's head, letting it hiss, twist and struggle, he also raised his head and smiled sweetly at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling was immediately stunned.
I can’t understand why my little daughter-in-law, who was so frightened that she turned pale when she saw a scorpion shell, suddenly becomes so fierce and fierce when she encounters a snake.
"This is still a small snake, not very poisonous. Don't be afraid, Aling. Come and take a look, there are good things here..."
Wang Susu shouted with a smile.
“You are so afraid of scorpions, how come you are not afraid of snakes at all?”
Chen Ling said strangely.
Wang Susu immediately glared in displeasure: "Humph, because my family keeps snakes, have you forgotten the wine my mother gave you when you got married? It's all made from snake gall!"
Chen Ling Weiwei suddenly realized that he had some impression of the jar of wine, but he had never drank it since it was stored in the cellar in the backyard.
"Don't worry about this for now, come here quickly, there are good things here."
Listening to Wang Susu's urging, Chen Ling walked over and looked around.
"What good thing? Where is it?"
"Oh, Aling, why don't you even recognize Gastrodia elata."
"The snake just now was not far away, under the tree. Those..."
Wang Susu gave him an angry look and pointed him to look in that direction with her toes.
“Huh? This is Gastrodia elata, I really don’t know.”
Chen Ling walked over and took a look, "Hey, look at this bare pole, I thought it was weeds."
Then he turned to Wang Susu and asked, "Do you want to dig now? Or come back tomorrow ?”
“Tomorrow, there are a lot of Gastrodia elata, we can’t take them back in the myrrh basket.”
Wang Susu replied.
At this time, she pressed the venomous snake's head to the ground with a tree branch. When Heiwa saw it, he ran over and bit the snake's head. Xiaojin then bit the snake's tail and tore it hard, killing the venomous snake easily. Torn in two.
When Wang Susu saw this scene, she couldn't help but be surprised at the teeth of the two puppies. The deciduous teeth hadn't even been replaced yet, but they were so sharp that they would be better when they grew up.
"Spit it out quickly, you can't eat this yet..."
Wang Susu saw them taking the snake into their mouths and thought they were going to eat it, so she quickly stopped them.
Unexpectedly, these two little things dodged her outstretched hands, ran up to Chen Ling, and placed the two half-snake bodies in front of him.
Wagging his tail and looking at him fawningly.
Wang Susu was immediately angry and amused. She stood up and went over to slap a little boy on the head.
"You two little heartless people know how to please Aling."
