Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 19 A Big Snake

Zhou Qinglan screamed, making Sheng Xiping tremble with fright.

"Qinglan, what's the matter?" Shouting, Sheng Xiping ran in the direction Zhou Qinglan was walking just now.

"Snake, snake, what a big snake."

Over there, Zhou Qinglan's voice trembled, and she was about to cry.

When Sheng Xiping bypassed the two big trees and saw the scene ahead, he was also shocked.

Two meters away from Zhou Qinglan, there was a tree stump as tall as a man and thicker than a millstone.

A big snake was entangled on the tree stump. The snake was about as thick as Sheng Xiping's wrist, and its curled body seemed to be a foot long.

The pattern on the big snake's body is one section at a time. At this moment, the tail is still on the tree stump, and the head and half of the body are hanging in the air.

The snake opened its mouth wide, and its bright red letter kept dancing, making a hissing sound.

The snake head stopped at a position more than half a meter away from Zhou Qinglan, and was demonstrating towards Zhou Qinglan.

Seeing that the scarlet mouth of the big snake was getting closer and closer to Zhou Qinglan, Zhou Qinglan was so frightened that her hands and feet became weak and her body was unable to move.

Sheng Xiping didn't care about anything else, he pulled out the short knife tied to his leg, and with a strong wrist, the short knife was thrown out instantly.

Not to mention, Sheng Xiping's swing was very accurate, and the dagger went straight to the big snake seven inches.

The short knife was so sharp that it pierced seven inches above the big snake.

A puff of stinky blood sprayed out, and the big snake fell from the tree stump to the ground in an instant.

"Qinglan." Sheng Xiping had come to Zhou Qinglan at this time, and pulled Zhou Qinglan into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, the big snake is dead.

Touch the hair, not scared, pull the ear, scare for a while, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. "

Local old people would say this to children who had been frightened. Sheng Xiping was coaxing Zhou Qinglan into being a child.

How can Zhou Qinglan care about these things at this moment?
She was so frightened to death that she lay trembling in Sheng Xiping's arms and burst into tears.

"When I turned around just now, I saw a snake that big, with its mouth wide open, trying to bite me. It scared me to death."

The girl in the city, where have you seen such a big snake?
Having just experienced such a dangerous situation, it is human nature to panic and fear.

Sheng Xiping put his arm around Zhou Qinglan's shoulder, and gently patted her back with the other.

"Well, well, I know, I know. With me here, don't be afraid."

It was his miscalculation, he never did this in his previous life, and Sheng Xiping never expected to encounter such a big snake.

With Sheng Xiping's soft comforting voice, Zhou Qinglan gradually calmed down.

After a while of shock, Zhou Qinglan realized that she was in Sheng Xiping's arms at the moment.

Zhou Qinglan's face turned red instantly, and she was at a loss what to do and wanted to push Sheng Xiping away.

Sheng Xiping also saw Zhou Qinglan's shy and embarrassed look, so he let go of the girl in his arms.

"Come on, stand here and don't move, I'll go over and look at the snake."

After speaking, Sheng Xiping walked towards the dead snake on the ground.

"Ah? Why do you need this stuff? It scares me to death."

Zhou Qinglan was still trembling when she spoke, and she seemed quite frightened.

"This kind of snake is not poisonous, and the meat is very delicious. It is always delicious to keep the stew."

Sheng Xiping walked up to him and took a closer look. The snake's head and body were only a little fleshy, and it was already dead.

Sheng Xiping didn't dare to be careless, he didn't move the snake, but walked over to pick up his dagger first.

He chopped a stick with a short knife, and then used the stick to move the snake's head.

No wonder he was overly cautious. Someone once killed a snake, thought the snake was dead, and kicked the snake's head with his foot, only to be bitten.

Sheng Xiping stabbed it several times with a stick, but the snake didn't move at all. It looked like it was dead.

Only then did Sheng Xiping feel relieved, and went over to cut open the snake's belly, and took out the snake gall from it.

The snake is big, and the snake's courage is also big, almost catching up with an egg.

Sheng Xiping wrapped the snake gall with the white cloth he used to wrap dry food and put it away.

They are on the mountain, so it is not easy to take the snake skin off at this time.

So Sheng Xiping peeled some elm bark from the side, only the soft and firm layer inside.

He coiled up the big snake from tail to head, tied it with elm bark, and tied it to a stick, intending to carry it away.

This big snake is not light, it weighs at least a dozen catties, and I don't know how many years it has lived.

"Let's go, let's go find Chen Weiguo and the others."

After digging a bagful of Gastrodia elata, and harvesting such a big snake, this trip to the mountain has yielded a lot.

Sheng Xiping was not that kind of greedy person, so he planned to stop here today.

Of course, if Chen Weiguo and the others don't want to go out so early, then he can only accompany them for a while.

Zhou Qinglan absolutely worshiped Sheng Xiping as a hero right now, and she listened to whatever Sheng Xiping said, without any second thoughts.

So Zhou Qinglan took the initiative to take the shoulder bag and carried it on her own.

Sheng Xiping carried the big snake on his back, and the two walked towards Chen Weiguo, one behind the other.

After taking two steps, Sheng Xiping seemed to remember something, and looked back at the terrain and the surrounding situation.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Seeing Sheng Xiping stop after taking two steps, Zhou Qinglan thought something was going on, so she hurriedly asked.

Sheng Xiping shook his head, "It's okay, I was just thinking, why did this big snake appear here?"

In those legends, wherever there are treasures, there will be some strange birds and beasts guarding them.

Such a big snake is very rare, could it be guarding something here?
If Sheng Xiping had come here by himself, he would have wandered around carefully, looking for any treasures.

But Zhou Qinglan was terribly frightened by the big snake, with an expression of wishing she could get out of the woods immediately.

Under such circumstances, how could Sheng Xiping stay and search carefully?Forget it, let's come again when we have a chance.

Sheng Xiping thought of this, turned around and continued walking.

Sheng Xiping yelled as he walked, and someone from the west responded, so the two walked towards the west, and after a while, they joined Chen Weiguo and Gao Haining.

"Oh my god, Xiping, what are you doing? Snake? Such a boss?"

When everyone saw what Sheng Xiping was carrying, they were shocked. Tang Fengying and the other girl turned pale.

"Well, on that tree stump, I met a big snake and asked me to kill it."

Sheng Xiping nodded, he couldn't hold back such a big thing, and he didn't need to hide it.

"Oh, has the chicken you killed yesterday been stewed and eaten?

Unfortunately, if it is stewed with snakes, it will be dragon and phoenix soup, which is very nourishing. "

When Wang Jianshe saw it, he was extremely envious and regretful at the same time.

People in the Northeast eat less snakes, and the method is not so complicated.

If possible, make it into pieces, add seasoning and put it in a pot to simmer until cooked.

If you don't have the conditions on the mountain, you can just peel off the skin, put salt on it, put it on the branches and bake it, and it's delicious to eat.

Anyway, for people in this day and age, no matter what kind of meat, as long as it can be eaten, it is better than wild vegetables.

As for the dragon and phoenix soup mentioned by Wang Jianshe, it is much more particular. It is stewed with chicken and snake, which is indeed delicious and nourishing.
