Chapter 146 Xiangting Snake House
This spotted snake's feet are as thick as a girl's wrist, and more than one meter long. The snake's body twisted back and forth into the character "8". The snake's head is oval, raised high, and hissed the letter outward. It is estimated that there are at least two.
More than ten pounds.
"Changchuan, have you finished your homework? Have you memorized the words?"
"After writing, my sister has memorized the English words. It's enough for me to come, I nodded, Yes shook his head."
"Don't talk nonsense, go and help me send the snake back to Uncle Nagata. I said it's not a big problem. I remind him that if you usually take the snake out, remember to use a wet towel to help the snake wipe the body."
After saying that, the girl was skillful and skillfully, she took the big snake off and tied it on the black boy's neck like a child, and told him to send the snake back.
The snake's tail almost wrapped around my arm and touched me accidentally, making it cold.
The black boy had a snake around his neck. He pinched the snake's head and smiled, "Then I'm going, sister, when grandpa is back, tell him."
"I understand, go quickly."
After the black boy left, the girl sat down and asked me: "I don't seem to have seen you before. You are not from our town, are you? What's your name?"
I said my name is Xiang Feng, and I came to find your grandfather because I wanted to ask him something.
This girl who plays with snakes is named Xiao Changying. She has dropped out of school for a long time and is now mainly helping at home to manage the snake house business.
She seemed to have very little contact with peers from other places. After chatting for a while, I coaxed her.
She smiled and said, "There are more than 30 poisonous snakes and more than ten pythons in my room. There are more in my grandfather's room. Some of them were caught by ourselves, and some were sent by people from the town. You must have never seen them from other places before.
, Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Farewell, it's great if we sit here."
I wiped my sweat and thought to myself that you are too perverted and there are poisonous snakes. What if I bite me?
After waiting for more than half an hour, an old man with white hair came back with a sickle in his hand and a bamboo basket on his back.
The snake girl quickly walked up to him and whispered something in the old man's ear.
The old man took off the basket and put it in the corner of the wall, walked over and said, "Young man, where did you come from? What are you looking for me for?"
"You are Xiao Gong Snake King, Xiao Zhengxing?"
"I am." The white-haired old man nodded.
I glanced at the girl, but I wanted to speak but stopped.
"It's okay, if you have something to do, say that she is my biological granddaughter."
"Okay, then I'll ask."
"About two months ago, did two men come to you? They are about 40 years old, speak in a northern accent, and are about 1.8 meters tall."
The old man frowned and thought for a while and said, "Is there two people who have looked for me, one is normal and the other..."
He frowned and recalled: "The other person was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a hat, and was covered with airtightness. He was suffering from a strange disease."
"grandfather!"
"I remember! You said that person!"
The girl interrupted in a hurry: "The man's eyes were yellow, his hair and teeth were all gone. When he saw it, he was shocked. I had never seen someone like that before."
I suppress my inner emotions.
I don’t need to say more about who these two people are. I checked for more than a month and asked countless people, and finally got accurate information here.
The old man took a sip of water, frowned and continued, "The man standing said that his brother was in the wheelchair, and he was bitten by a four-legged snake and it turned out like this. He asked me if I could help with treatment."
"What happened later?" I asked nervously.
The old man shook his head: "Although our Xiangting Snake House is famous and good at treating various snake injuries, it is different. Isn't the four-legged snake the kind of stone dragon crawling? It's not poisonous, how can it turn people into
Be like that.”
"Later I said I couldn't cure it. I had never seen this. The man looked a little disappointed and walked away in a wheelchair."
"Then do you know where they went?"
"I don't know." The old man shook his head.
After chatting for a while, I left here with great worries.
I have praised my head more than once before, saying that my elder brother is calm and clever, and if he deliberately avoids us, it will be difficult to find him. Moreover, I not only want to see them, but also want to see Sister Hong, and I want to ask about their experiences in recent years.
July 7th is Valentine's Day. People here in Zhanghu have been preparing for the Snake Festival since mid-May.
The culture of this area is unique, and I have been to so many places, but I dare say that the Snake Festival in Zhanghu Town is unique in the country, unique, and even unique in the world.
If you want to feel it, you can come here for a trip. I promise you will never forget it for life.
No one here is afraid of snakes.
One month before Valentine's Day, basically every household will go to the bamboo houses in the southeastern mountains to catch snakes. From 80-year-old men to 5 or 6-year-old children, they will participate, holding them in their hands and necks, holding them in their hands and necks.
Big snake and little snake walking back and forth on the street.
Whoever catches the largest, heaviest, or the weirdest snake is qualified to be sent to the Snake King Temple for evaluation.
After fierce quarrels and discussions, a professional team of villagers in the temple selected the Snake King of this year.
I heard that the snake king in 1999 was the most powerful one. It was a two-headed python caught by a family in the bamboo forest. The two heads could eat separately. Later, it was sold for 80,000 yuan.
Men, women, young and old here love snakes, play with snakes, and respect snakes, but they just don’t eat snakes. People in Shunde eat more snakes. If anyone dares to blatantly eat snakes here, they will be reported by the whole town and then fined.
Whoever comes here to travel? People on the roadside will suddenly catch colorful snakes and hit you in the face. Xiaoxuan was scared several times and later she didn't dare to go out on the street.
That day, Brother Yu and I were shopping on the street. Brother Yu came out to buy wine. At this time, a middle-aged man with long hair suddenly came over and stopped us and said, "Brothers, where are you going.
”
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
He came over and whispered: "Do you want to see the snake girl?"
"Snake Girl?"
"It's true, it's in your house."
I didn't believe it at first.
I have lived in the town for so long and know that the snake girl does exist. A small number of local people have seen it. They told me that the snake girl does not live long and has a short lifespan. Even if she lives to her thirties, she is considered to be old.
I don’t know why there are those who can survive forty.
The man said, "How could it be in my house? Of course it is in Liangong Temple. I see you dressed like a foreigner. Can you outsiders enter there? That's it. You guys alone give me thirty dollars, I'll give you you
Lead it in." He asked me for thirty dollars.
Brother Yu whispered: "I guess it's a fraud, don't pay attention to him."
"I'm not a liar!"
The middle-aged man was anxious and said, "If you don't watch it, just pull it! Some people want to watch it!"
Thirty yuan is not expensive, so I just pretended to smoke less cigarettes. I stopped Brother Yu and gave him thirty yuan, saying that I would go to the temple to take a look.
"One person 30, two people 60."
"Then we agreed, I'll lead you in. You can watch through the window, but you don't allow taking pictures, otherwise you will confiscate your phone."
"Okay, go now?"
The man looked at the time and said, "I have to wait. There is still one person left. Let's set off in a group."
He took us to a house on the side of the road and hurriedly left, saying that we would wait for ten minutes, and then a car would come to take us to the temple.
"Brother, who are you here to travel."
There was also a man and a woman in the room, who looked like a couple. The man was wearing a famous brand and was chewing bubble gum in his mouth.
I ignored this person.
He smiled and said, "Don't you go see the snake girl too? I heard that the snake girl lives in a jar, and her tongue grows long and still has a fork. She can lick her eyes with her tongue. She is so curious.
I don't know if it's true or not."
I thought to myself what the hell is.
