Chapter 335 Chapter 4 The Sound of Snakes Last Night

"Your father is not unreasonable, he will agree." Grandpa persuaded. He raised his head to look at me, then at grandpa, his eyes were flushed, "No! If my father knew why I saved that snake, he would kill it without hesitation!" Grandpa was taken aback and asked, "What's going on?" Zhang Jiu hesitated for a long time, and finally hesitantly said a word: "Because... because I fell in love with that green bamboo-leaf snake. It was caught by my father at the door that evening because we made an appointment to meet at that time. " "You, you fell in love with a green snake with bamboo leaves?" I couldn't help but interjected, "You...why didn't you like a girl, but you fell in love with a snake?"

"That's a long story." Zhang Jiu started pinching his fingers again. Four years ago, Zhang Jiu was not such a sissy, nor was his skin so delicate.He followed his father to learn how to raise snakes.But because of an accident, Zhang Jiu, who was not very skilled, was bitten by a house snake.At that time, Zhang Jiu vomited black blood and turned his eyes white.It happened that his father was out, and his mother didn't know how to treat snake venom, so she randomly grabbed a handful of snake medicine and gave it to Zhang Jiu to eat. I don't know if it was because the poison of the snake was not strong enough, or because the snake medicine happened to have some effect, Zhang Jiu actually saved a life.

When his father came back, he looked at his tongue coating and rolled his eyelids, and found nothing unusual, so he thought the matter was over like this. But after a few days, Zhang Jiu felt itchy all over.He scratched desperately, but the more he scratched, the more itchy, until the skin bled from scratching, but the itching still didn't stop.Throat also started a little hoarse, like a cold. Zhang Jiu's father added a lot of herbs to the bathtub and asked him to wash it every day.The itching has subsided a bit, but not completely.When speaking, the voice gradually changed. At first, it was like being pinched by the neck. The voice was high-pitched and then low-pitched, like a female singer singing the sound of dolphins.Later, the voice became sharp and thin, and his mother always gritted her teeth when she heard him speak, and covered her ears with her hands desperately.In the end it became the current sissy.

His father was also at a loss.His mother sought medical advice everywhere, but none of them could cure his itching and voice. In the process of taking a lot of traditional Chinese medicines and injecting western medicines one by one, Zhang Jiu's skin has changed, and the horniness has increased a lot. The white layer is spread on the body like rolling in the snow in winter. . When it came time for the snake to change its skin, he actually shed a layer of skin like a snake.Zhang Jiu said that the rhomboid membranes around the snake's eyes are dyed milky white, the eyes turn white or blue, and the skin color of the tail also becomes lighter, which means that the snake is about to shed its skin.And when he shed his skin, he felt pain in his eyes, and when he looked in the mirror, his pupils actually revealed a faint blue light.

Snakes like to drink water during moulting.And while he was molting, he also drank bowl after bowl of water.He drank a large tank of water in a few days. Although there is a thick layer of cutin on his body, the skin on his hands, feet, face and neck is much more delicate and fair than before.His careful mother also found that his face was changing, becoming sharper and narrower than before. He didn't know what strange disease he was suffering from, but judging from various phenomena, his disease was most directly related to snakes. His father blamed all the grievances on the snake.In a rage, his father decided not to keep snakes anymore.He sold all the snakes he raised with care to the dealers who came to the village to collect snakes, and asked the dealers to send the snakes to restaurants, Chinese medicine shops, and erhu shops.His father never smoked or drank.But after that, his father started to smoke cigarettes and drink heavily.

One time when he was itching so badly that his body was covered in blood, Zhang Jiu snatched the wine from his father and drank it down in one gulp. Like his father, Zhang Jiu doesn't like smoking or drinking.Suddenly he drank a cup, and suddenly staggered, feeling dizzy.Because the nerves were paralyzed, the itchy feeling before finally completely disappeared. As a result, Zhang Jiu also began to drink heavily.And when he drank, he staggered drunk. When it was time to molt again, Zhang Jiu couldn't help but drank all the wine at home, and then collapsed on the bed like mud.He didn't know how long he had slept, and suddenly felt a little cold all over his body.Subconsciously, he pulled the quilt beside him.

But the coolness has not diminished a bit.At that time, he was in a daze, and seemed to hear the whirring sound of the snake spitting out the letter, but he thought it was an auditory hallucination, so he didn't pay attention. Waking up the next day, Zhang Jiu saw his father standing in front of his bed, frowning.He thought his father would blame him for drinking the wine at home. Unexpectedly, his father knelt down, touched a wet mark on the ground with his finger, and said, "Last night, a snake entered our house and arrived at your bed." Side. Judging from the traces left behind, that snake should be a poisonous bamboo-leaf green snake."

Zhang Jiu scratched his back, the itching feeling was not as severe as usual. "Snake?" He asked, squinting his swollen eyelids. His father nodded and said: "Yes. When I was raising snakes, except for the big yellow snake that climbed to the roof to eat mice, I have never seen other snakes that crawled into my house on their own initiative. It was actually a poisonous Zhuyeqing!" "Zhuyeqing?" Zhang Jiu was still in a daze.But he is familiar with the Green Bamboo Leaf Snake. Green Bamboo Snake is also known as Green Bamboo Snake and Burnt Tail.The whole body is green, the belly is slightly lighter or grass yellow.More active than in rainy days, most active in the evening and night.The toxicity of Zhuyeqing is neither small nor large, and generally speaking it is not fatal, but if it is not handled properly, it may kill someone.There is another difference between Zhuyeqing and ordinary snakes. Ordinary snakes lay eggs, and then the baby snakes break out of the eggs.However, Zhuyeqing belongs to the viviparous snake class, and it will give birth to small snakes from the cloaca.

Zhang Jiu's father gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that snakes are still spiritual. When I raised them, I didn't know how to repay my kindness, but bit my son badly. Now that I sell snakes, they are going to come to me for revenge!" "Revenge?" Zhang Jiu suddenly remembered Snake Xinzi's hissing sound last night.He hurriedly lowered his head to check his body to see if there was any bite mark left.If bitten by Zhuyeqing, the local wound will have severe burning pain, and the swelling will develop rapidly. The typical feature is that bloody blisters are more common and appear earlier.

But Zhang Jiu neither found the bite mark nor felt the burning pain.
