Chapter 121: Keep the Awe You Should Have
On the edge of the honeycomb, there is a transparent sheet the size of a fingernail.
The transparent sheets emit a gem-like colorful luster under the sunlight, which is very beautiful.
Buli picked up the thin slices and thought to the sun, his brows gradually frowned.
"What's wrong?" Qingqing saw him standing there and didn't move, and wanted to jump down and take a look.
"Stand and don't move!"
Buli said it with a small volume, but the sound was very serious. He quickly climbed up the slope with a honeycomb, stood on the slope and squinted his eyes.
The vegetation below the slope is dense, and the weeds are more than half a meter high. When the wind shakes, nothing can be seen.
Qingqing realized from his attitude that something was wrong.
"Take." Buli led her and quickly evacuated this weedy area.
"There are snakes here, look." Buli spread his hands and showed her the transparent sheets in his palm.
"Why don't we chase after a snake? Ten taels! And why are the scales transparent?" Qingqing is now jealous of money. There is no way, she is poor.
"To be precise, this is not the scales of a snake, but the film on the scales. This normal snake thing is smaller than rice grains. Look at the size of this one."
In this way, it's quite intriguing.
Qingqing also realized the seriousness of the problem. No wonder Wu Li was so nervous just now and pulled her away.
"Don't leave, is the bigger the snake, the more spiritual it becomes?"
"From a scientific point of view, snakes are reptiles, and cold-blooded animals usually have no thoughts, but this is how the people spread, which may be because of everyone's awe of life instincts."
He didn't know whether he had spirituality or not, but he knew a simple truth: if he could beat him, he would beat him. If he couldn't beat him, he would quickly lead his wife to run away.
"When it comes to folk legends, I think of something fun. Usually, huge poisonous snakes are with ginseng that are old. Snakes are the patron saint of ginseng, and this is what they are written in novels."
"It's not just novels, but it's the same in reality. I've been to a mountain rich in ginseng. Every year, countless people are bitten by snakes, and there are heavy casualties. Viper snakes have become the biggest threat to ginseng harvesters."
"Why is this? It's so powerful?"
"It has nothing to do with superstition. Ginseng is called the king of herbs. The longer the year, the redder the fruit becomes. This is very attractive for mice and small animals. The poisonous snake lurks beside ginseng. It is not to protect ginseng, but to catch small animals."
It is because of this that the longer the ginseng year, the more snakes lurking beside it, the bigger the snakes, and most of them are poisonous snakes.
"If you say that, then I'll be energetic - ginseng, in what era, is it a good thing?"
Don't leave, yes.
Wild ginseng, especially those that are old, is hard to find in ancient times or modern times.
"Then let's go back and look for it? What if we meet it?" Qingqing was ready to rub her hands,
She is such an excellent civilian and living in a broken house with collapsed walls. It is really too frustrating. Does she lack skills?
No, she is just purely poor.
If you get a ginseng that is old, what house will you want?
Take a try, and the broken house turns into a luxurious courtyard!
"Forget it, it's okay for us to deal with some small snakes at this stage. The big snake is too hard, and it will be dark in a while. It's not good for us to delay it on the mountain for a long time. What's more, it's impossible to sell ginseng if you really find it."
This kind of good thing must be kept for emergencies and will not be sold for no amount of money.
Buli didn't expect to see such a large snake scale, which exceeded his expectations, and it would be dark after a while, so he would definitely suffer a loss when he had a tough fight with the big snake.
"We must maintain awe of nature. We only do things within our abilities. Let's go, today's harvest is already good." Buli is particularly satisfied with today's harvest.
I caught the snake, got enough leeches, and kissed Qingqing.
This is the quiet day he dreams of.
Qingqing looked back at the lush Langshan and the mountains of Langshan. How many treasures she could not see and how many invisible dangers she had hidden.
We can only fight again another day.
On the way back, Qingqing and him sat side by side in front of the donkey cart, and they had to look back from time to time.
She had to confirm that the lid of the bucket containing the leech did not fall off, and her brain-fired donkey cart bumped, shook one of the leech out, put it on her neck, and drilled it into her clothes - tsk, it was so disgusting.
Buli saw her little movements in his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth gently.
It is rare to see her having such an annoying thing. At this time, she looks like a little girl, cute.
"No need to look at it. I have handled the lid and it is tightly buckled and it is impossible to fall off. Even if it falls off, there will be no leeches flying out."
"I'm not afraid of leeches." Qingqing's mouth was stubborn.
"Oh, then you can deal with it when you go back?"
".Why do you need to deal with it?!"
"Why do we have to give the pig a full meal before killing pigs? Because of the weighing scale. We prodigal merchants, before trading live food weighed by pounds, will feed them. We will dig some earthworms and feed them, and sell them at a good price tomorrow."
"And, feed the earthworms?"
Qingqing also imagined the long and wriggling creatures, and her face was full of disgust.
"Feed leeches with earthworms, isn't this just disgusting to open the door to disgusting? Is it disgusting to the house?"
"One pound can be sold for three taels of silver. Madam, we feed leeches and round them up, which is equivalent to a pound of earthworms."
After the unscrupulous businessman analyzed this, Qingqing was immediately energetic.
Well, for the sake of money, it's disgusting.
Thinking that there was money soon, the poor and crazy woman felt that the leech was not that disgusting, but after walking on the donkey cart for a while, she still looked back, but this time she looked back, and there was a lot of alert in her eyes.
The two of them snuggled up together. Since she took the initiative to kiss him on the mountain, the distance between them has narrowed under a silent tacit understanding and has become much more intimate. He immediately felt her tightness.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Qingqing turned her head and lowered her voice and said, "Don't look back, someone is following us."
Although she didn't see who was following, she was sure that two people followed her. When she looked back, the two men hid, with their whereabouts strange.
"I'm going to solve it?" Buli asked.
When the two of them talked, they both looked ahead without looking back. From the back, they were just a young couple chatting.
"No, it should be that Boss Hao has released the news. If they were just passing by, they would definitely take action. If they were bandits who came to inquire after hearing the news released by Boss Hao, they would only follow and not act."
Qingqing pretended not to know and observed all the way.
Sure enough, the two of them followed each other for a while and they were no longer following them. They were undoubtedly spies of bandits.
"Is Boss Hao very efficient in his work? He sent the news today when he told him what he had done yesterday. Haojiacun will definitely make him manage well in the future."
