Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 468 Fighting with snakes is endless fun
The so-called mountain wind is actually the king cobra.

Any snake with a king's name is a snake that can eat snakes. For example, the cauliflower snake is actually called a king snake. It can eat snakes and can also eat venomous snakes. There is a saying that there are cauliflowers in one mile and no venomous snakes in ten miles.

Unfortunately, King Cobra is the exception.

The king cobra is larger than the average cobra, and its venom is extremely toxic. The cauliflower snake is not immune at all. Even if the cauliflower snake can use its powerful strangulation ability to strangle the smaller king cobra, once it is killed by the king cobra, If a snake bites you, you will still die.

Gao Mingcheng was also surprised when he discovered that the snake had passed through the mountain wind.

However, he was not frightened by this. After all, king cobras were not uncommon in their mountainous area. Gao Mingcheng had encountered them several times in the mountains.

However, he didn't fight the King Cobra very often because he stayed away from it.

The King Cobra is an extremely ferocious species. When humans approach it, it will expand its neck, stand up its front body, and actively attack.Once bitten by it, it's almost death!

Therefore, whenever he spots a king cobra in the mountains, Gao Mingcheng will avoid it.

But this time he went into the mountains specifically to look for snakes, and when he found out, the king cobra had already attacked him.

Gao Mingcheng took half a step back and took a bow, and the javelin in his hand quickly attacked the King Cobra's head.

Unfortunately, King Cobra is too fast, and he has neglected to practice his javelin recently, so this first blow actually failed.

Gao Mingcheng's heart sank and he quickly retreated to avoid being bitten by the snake. The javelin in his hand continued to attack the King Cobra.

The King Cobra was indeed ferocious, and even pursued him. Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng brought a javelin from home. The length of the javelin separated him from the King Cobra, ensuring to a certain extent that he would not be easily bitten.

Relying on this advantage, Gao Mingcheng and King Cobra started to deal with each other.

This king cobra was quite big, about two meters long. Its neck expanded, its front body stood up, and it kept attacking Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng took his time and tried to kill the king cobra with the javelin in his hand.

After several back and forths between one person and one snake, Gao Mingcheng finally found an opportunity. The javelin in his hand stabbed out quickly, hitting the King Cobra's head, and was driven directly into the soil by the heavy javelin.

Even so, the King Cobra that was not completely dead was still struggling.

Gao Mingcheng did not dare to approach immediately, and watched his surroundings with vigilance.

King cobras mainly prey on snakes, but of course they can also prey on birds, rats, lizards, etc.

Wherever it is, there are very few snakes. They are either scared away or have been eaten by it.

After Gao Mingcheng killed the king cobra, he was able to think about why he saw the king cobra in Xiaofu Mountain, because king cobras usually live in deep mountains near water sources.

And its staple food is snakes, not chickens or eggs.

Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and thought that maybe the chickens and eggs attracted other snakes, and the other snakes attracted the king cobra.

Gao Mingcheng didn't know if the two roosters were bitten by the king cobra. Even if they were, it didn't matter. As long as the chickens were thoroughly stewed, there would be no poison in the meat.

After a while, until the King Cobra stopped moving, Gao Mingcheng stepped forward and pulled the javelin out of the ground. He did not dare to grab it, just in case the King Cobra pretended to be dead and suddenly bit him before it died. That's it.

So Gao Mingcheng simply kept picking up the king cobra with a javelin, keeping a good distance from it, and then continued to patrol the mountain.

However, a king cobra appeared in the mountain, and there was no trace of other snakes.

Gao Mingcheng walked around the entire Xiaofu Mountain and found no trace of other snakes. He did observe the growth of fruit trees by the way.

The oranges have begun to grow in size, and the green skin looks sour, but after more than a month, the oranges will gradually turn yellow and mature.

As for the grapefruit trees planted next to the orange trees, there are also green grapefruits hanging on the trees. One of the grapefruit trees had insects before. Gao Mingcheng gave medicine in time, but it seemed that the insects were not completely killed. There are still white insect eggs on the leaves of the grapefruit tree.

Gao Mingcheng frowned and decided to use the medicine again.

The problem of insect pests in fruit trees is just like this. It cannot be completely solved by spraying pesticide once.

All the way down the mountain, it was only now that Gao Mingcheng dared to touch the motionless King Cobra.

He grabbed the king cobra by its tail, put it on the ground, and decided to cut off its head completely.Gao Mingcheng didn't bring a dagger or knife with him, so he could only kill with a javelin. After three seconds, he began to rejoice at this decision.

Because after the snake's head was completely severed, the severed snake's head still bit in the direction of Gao Mingcheng!

Fortunately, the javelin had a long enough distance. Gao Mingcheng took two urgent steps back. The ejected snake head failed in the sneak attack and could only fall from mid-air.

"Huh!" Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt his heart beating wildly.

Once bitten by a king cobra, even he would die on the spot!
Gao Mingcheng stared at the completely motionless snake head, thought for a while, and continued to pick up the snake head with the javelin.

At first, he wanted to dig a hole and bury the snake's head deeply, but he was worried that when he dug the hole for planting fruit trees, what if he accidentally dug out the snake's head again?

Snake meat will rot, but snake bones and snake teeth are difficult to rot, and even if the bones turn into white bones, the snake teeth are still highly venomous.

Therefore, if you want to completely kill the poison in the fangs, you can only use high temperature, that is, throw the snake head into the stove and burn it.

Gao Mingcheng brought the snake to Chen Dasong's house. Aunt Liu had already taken care of the two roosters and was startled when she saw the snake in his hand.

"Over the mountain wind?"

"Oh, this snake is extremely poisonous!"

"It doesn't matter, just cook it. Cook it for a while later." Gao Mingcheng said, and then prepared to peel it.

Although king cobras are highly venomous and have almost no natural enemies in the mountains, their biggest natural enemy is actually humans.As human activities expand and forests decrease, all kinds of wild animals will be affected.

King cobras are hunted for their unique skin patterns. After being peeled off, the skins can be made into expensive snakeskin bags and belts.

In addition, its venom also has medicinal research value.Therefore, under the capture of humans, the number of king cobras gradually decreased, and finally became a protected animal with the attitude of a king.

After Gao Mingcheng processed the snake meat, he gave it to Aunt Liu. As for the snake head, he had already thrown it into the stove.

"Stew for a while longer. I'll do some work first and come back to eat later." Gao Mingcheng warned.

"Hey, I know." Aunt Liu agreed. They had also eaten chickens that were bitten by snakes, but they had to be stewed longer and become more rotten.

Gao Mingcheng returned to his home, found the insecticide he had bought before, and planned to spray the insecticide on the fruit trees again.

On the way, I met Chen Dasong working in the chicken coop, so he told him about the mountain wind in Xiaofu Mountain.

He also told him to be careful when going into the mountains to work in the future.

When Chen Dasong heard about the mountain wind, he was a little scared. The snake was too poisonous and once bitten, it would be serious. Therefore, he decided to bring a hoe for self-defense when he went into the mountains in the future.

"Mingcheng, there are three to four hundred eggs picked up. You should take them to the county to sell them." Chen Dasong showed Gao Mingcheng the eggs he just picked up today.

Half of the eggs have been stacked in the newly woven bamboo basket. The eggs are already normal in size, with only a few eggs still relatively small.

Hens are used to laying eggs in a fixed place. As long as a nest is made for them, they will come to the nest when it is time to lay eggs.

But because they are free-range, some hens will lay their eggs in other places, and people need to go into the mountains to find them.

And if the eggs in the nest are picked up every time, the hens will find another place to lay their eggs out of insecurity.

At this time, you need to leave an egg in the nest as a primer.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at the eggs in the bamboo basket and said, "Okay, I will take them to the county to sell them, and you can move these eggs to my hall later."

"Okay." Chen Dasong agreed, so the two of them picked up eggs, and went into the mountains to make potions.

Life is always dull with some busyness.

Little by little busyness will eventually turn into harvest.
