The flow of young people's singing and drinking water

Chapter 230 Three Snake Island (2)

"Sir, it's not good." Tian Mozhi shouted and ran towards Mu Chunfeng.

Mu Chunfeng frowned: "Shopkeeper Jin Yan, why are you making such a fuss!"

Tian Mozhi bent over, breathing heavily, and pointed his right hand behind him: "Master, someone was bitten by a golden snake."

"What!" Mu Chunfeng was shocked: "When and where was he bitten?"

Tian Mozhi said quickly: "Master, just now the two people who were teaming up with him said that they didn't pay attention to the ground, and as a result, they stepped on the golden snake and were bitten on the leg."

Mu Chunfeng's face darkened. Not long after this, someone had an accident. He was really afraid that more people would have accidents later. Although before boarding the ship, he gave each snake catcher recruited 20 taels of gold. , it can be regarded as money to buy a life.But after all, this is his first time leading a team into the sea. If something goes wrong, someone will inevitably point fingers behind his back in the future.

He looked at the two snake heads: "Go and have a look. If you can save them, you must save them."

The two looked at each other the same way, and finally the older brother quickly followed Tian Mozhi and ran over.

Yang Ming thought for a while, and decided: "Yu Mo, Tang Lian, go and have a look. If you can't help it, you can use painkillers, and then cut off the bitten leg, and you can still live."

At this time, losing a leg in exchange for a life is worth it.

"Okay." Nodding, Mu Yumo and Tang Lian hurried over.

"Alas" Mu Chunfeng sighed.

"It's not your fault." Yang Ming patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

But Mu Chunfeng shook his head: "No, sir. I'm not upset, they already knew the danger of this journey when they got 20 taels of gold before boarding the ship. When recruiting, there were also a few people who were afraid of losing money. Even though they passed the recruitment, they still did not choose to board the ship."

"Everything has a price, and this is the price they have to bear. 20 taels of gold can completely improve their family's life and even change their future."

"Since you can figure it out, why are you sighing here?" Yang Ming looked at Mu Chunfeng with confusion on his face.

Mu Chunfeng sighed and explained: "After all, this is the first time that Mu has led a team into the sea. It would be good if everyone on the ship returns safely. But this has just begun, and someone was bitten. I can’t believe how many more people will be bitten in the future.”

Lei Wujie said in confusion: "Master Mu, if it is only used as medicine, the snakes caught now should be enough."

Mu Chunfeng shrugged and said unequivocally: "If it's just a medicine, the medicinal materials collected by the few of us are indeed enough."

After a pause, he continued: "However, the cost of using the cedar longship is not low every time, not to mention that we have spent too much for an ultimatum to go to sea, plus the hired snake catchers People are also a huge expense. We must capture more than two hundred golden snakes and obtain two hundred snake galls so that we will not lose money on this trip."

"I came here to find medicine for my brother. As a businessman, the worst-case scenario is to protect your capital."

Yang Ming didn't object to Mu Chunfeng's remarks, but rather agreed with them.The Mu family said they were the largest family in Qingzhou, but they were not big philanthropists. Since they spent 20 taels of gold to hire snake catchers, they must make money back from them.

"How many have been caught now?" Yang Ming asked.Mu Chunfeng looked at the basket behind the snake's head: "Our team has caught ten of them now. I don't know what happened to the others."

More than half an hour later, it was the agreed time to inventory the supplies.

Everyone gathered in an open space briefly and handed over all the collected snake galls.The main purpose of doing this is to prevent someone from getting a lot of snake galls, but accidentally got into a group of golden-threaded snakes, causing all three people to die from the poison. As a result, the snake galls they collected could not be retrieved.

Tian Mozhi took stock, then came to Mu Chunfeng and reported back: "Sir, in less than an hour, we have collected 190 snake galls, of which 61 were collected by the master and all of you. "

After hearing the result, Mu Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.Since the man was poisoned, every team has been more vigilant, and these people are all experienced snake catchers. Fortunately, there have been no more bites.

At this time, Tang Lian and Mu Yumo came over.

Yang Ming quickly asked: "How is that man? Has he been rescued?"

Tang Lian wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "Fortunately, the mission was fulfilled. Fortunately, the man's clothes were thicker and the golden thread snake only bit the superficial layer of skin. With the painkillers you gave me, I removed the poisoned parts It's been cleaned up. As long as you rest for a few days, it'll be fine."

Hearing Tang Lian's words, Yang Ming was fine, but Mu Chunfeng heaved a sigh of relief: "It seems that the clothes and pants prepared for them in advance are still useful."

After thinking about it, Mu Chunfeng looked at the two large baskets full of snake gallbladders, a total of 190 and three.He was still a few short of two hundred snake gallbladders. Originally, if the person who was poisoned before died, or someone else was poisoned, he would choose to give up as soon as possible.But now, everyone's vigilance has increased, and their snake-catching skills have gradually become proficient. Mu Chunfeng plans to take this opportunity to obtain more snake gallbladders.

After thinking about it, he said to everyone: "In this way, after collecting snake galls for another half an hour, except for the first snake galls that are not paid, Mu will receive an additional 20 taels for each additional snake gall. The reward is silver, but I won’t force it on you. If you don’t want to take the risk, you can go back.”

Each of the gallbladders of the golden-threaded snake is worth tens of gold. There are more than 30 snake catchers in total. If each one of them turns in one, he has already made a lot of money.As a businessman, he clearly captured the hearts of these people, and each subsequent snake gall received an extra 20 taels of silver, which was considered a considerable amount of income for them.

Hearing Mu Chunfeng's words, all the snake catchers' faces lit up with joy. Among them, the most they collected in an hour was eight snake galls, and the least was three.Although the time was shortened by half, the motivation was obviously higher than before.Only two people in the team chose to go back. The others rushed to the forest one by one. Of course, they did not lose their vigilance. They still knew the principle of taking money but losing their lives.

"Mr. Mu is so clever." Yang Ming glanced at Mu Chunfeng.

Mu Chunfeng said helplessly: "Sir, the number is stuck at 190 or so, neither higher nor lower. Mu decided to take a risk."

Although Mu Chunfeng was suspected of being exploited by capitalism, it was undeniable that Mu Chunfeng at least set up rewards and was not forced. Yang Ming still somewhat agreed with this point.

Thinking about it, when he was at Blue Star, his monthly salary was less than 007, and the boss wanted to make him [-]. In comparison, Mu Chunfeng seemed to have a lot.

"Everyone, let's collect some snake meat." Mu Chunfeng suggested.

"What's the use of snake meat?" Lei Wujie asked doubtfully.

"It's edible." Tang Lian said lightly.

Mu Chunfeng smiled and said: "Yes, we have been eating fish on the boat all day, and we are almost tired of it. We just take this opportunity to improve the food."
