Chapter 1015 Snake Bites
Some people couldn't bear it any longer and quietly retreated to the roadside, changing into thinner jackets.
Seeing that people were gradually moving to the roadside to change their clothes, Lu Qingqing immediately stopped the group and told everyone to change their clothes before leaving.
As soon as the procession stopped, the women of the East Courtyard used cloth to create a separate space in the open area at the front of the procession.
Three or five women went inside to change clothes at the same time, while the rest stayed outside to keep watch.
Seeing this, some of the soldiers at the back of the column approached with smiles, only to be chased away by Ruyue with a laugh and a scolding tone.
Some men weren't satisfied and stood not far away whistling.
Hearing this from Bai Song, who was already in a hurry to urinate, he cursed at Bai Song and immediately became quiet.
While the women were changing clothes, the men at the back of the line were also changing clothes.
However, they usually change them right next to the car.
A few men, however, took advantage of the group's pause to urinate in the nooks and crannies of the mountainside.
The mountain wall was very long, with many twists and turns. Some people didn't want to stick close to others, so they walked as far back as possible.
While the group stopped, Lu Qingqing went to the roadside and peered into the deep ditch.
The water flow in the ditch today is noticeably smaller than yesterday.
The river water was clearer than yesterday.
The mudslide problem that I've been worried about should not happen.
Just then, I suddenly heard a gasp from behind.
"Ahhh, there's a snake!"
The cry echoed through the cliffs, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Lu Qingqing drew the sword from her waist and ran backward.
When they arrived, they found several soldiers gathered in one place.
Beside the soldiers, a seated soldier was clutching his ankle, repeatedly crying out in pain.
Lu Qingqing didn't bother to check the bushes; she went to look at the man's bite wound first.
There were two rows of tiny pressure marks on the wound, which showed slight redness and swelling.
She breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw the wound.
Judging from the bite marks, it was most likely a non-venomous snake.
She tore a strip of cloth from her clothes and tied it about ten centimeters above the man's wound.
Then she had Qin Lang, who was standing next to her, use a water bag to rinse the wound while she quickly squeezed the wound.
The man who had been bitten was terrified; his limbs were weak, and he kept asking questions.
"Miss Lu, am I going to die?"
Was that a poisonous snake that bit me just now?
"It should be fine, it looks non-toxic to me."
As Lu Qingqing spoke, her hands continued to press on the wound.
However, the wound was obviously shallow and there was not much bleeding.
However, for safety's sake, she followed the normal procedures for handling venomous snakes.
Just as they were rinsing, Old Zhuang came running up from behind, panting.
When Lu Qingqing saw him arrive, she quickly made way for him.
Old Zhuang glanced at the wound, then asked about the snake's characteristics, and immediately relaxed.
"Don't panic, that snake isn't poisonous!"
The man hesitated when he heard what Old Man Zhuang said.
"I find the snake's markings quite eerie, and it seems there's more than one snake in the grass!"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhuang's attention shifted to the bushes not far away.
"Hey, I'm in for a treat today."
This thing smells amazing when it's baked.
Xiao Lang, stop what you're doing and come here to catch the snake.
"After we rest, we'll make you snake soup!"
Upon hearing about snake soup, Qin Lang immediately agreed.
He didn't even rinse the wound with water; he just plugged the cap and ran into the bushes.
The man who had been bitten was dumbfounded.
Are we just going to ignore him?
However, judging from Old Zhuang's relaxed appearance, it seems that nothing serious has happened.
He remembered that when someone in the team was bitten by a venomous snake, Old Zhuang was very nervous from beginning to end.
His wound probably isn't serious.
Thinking about it that way, he wasn't so nervous anymore.
Lu Qingqing saw that the two of them had run away.
After looking at the very shallow wound and thinking for a moment, he took out the water pouch containing the spatial water.
I rinsed the wound with diluted water from the space, then got up, plugged the lid, and went to catch the snake.
Just as they passed by, Qin Lang swiftly struck down the snake's head.
The severed snake head was still opening and closing, making a biting motion.
And the headless body was wriggling around.
This scene gave many people goosebumps.
After Qin Lang cut off the snake's head, he skillfully moved the snake's head aside to prevent being bitten.
Immediately afterwards, he continued to beat the grass with the stick in his left hand.
He held a knife in his right hand and stared ahead.
Before long, a dozen snakes of varying sizes with regular patterns crawled out.
Seeing the snakes swim in different directions, many people screamed and backed away in fright.
Most Chinese people have an innate fear of this cold-blooded animal.
Just then, Lu Qingqing arrived.
She and Qin Lang each took one side, blocking the snake that was darting around.
As soon as I stood still, I saw several snakes arching their upper bodies high and swimming closer in an attack posture.
Lu Qingqing gripped the knife with both hands, squatted in a half-horse stance, and slashed down fiercely.
Immediately, the two snake heads, along with a small section of their bodies, fell to the ground.
She ignored the snake's still opening and closing head, and with a swift movement, she flicked away the snake that was about to bite.
Only then did he have time to kick away the snake's head that was not far from his leg.
Before he could raise his knife again, he heard someone push through the crowd from behind and approach.
"Make way, let me have a share! I want some snake soup too!"
Immediately after, Bai Song ran in carrying a knife.
Seeing that there were more snakes on Lu Qingqing's side, he rushed over with his knife.
With a single slash, the snake's head rolled to the ground.
He kicked it away with a hint of disgust, then picked up the knife and continued working.
Before long, the smaller snake nest was dealt with.
Bai Song was worried that there wouldn't be enough snake meat, so he personally led a group to knock down the grass again.
Unfortunately, they didn't find anything after knocking on the door until the very end.
This little incident passed without any real danger.
Those dozen or so snakes were skinned and disposed of on the spot.
The snake's head and skin were thrown into the ditch, while Old Man Zhuang collected the snake meat, intending to make snake soup for lunch.
After the initial panic, the man who was bitten gradually calmed down.
About fifteen minutes had passed by the time the snake was killed.
He felt completely relieved, as he no longer experienced numbness or headaches.
Bai Song was also thinking of having him come over for lunch to eat some snake meat, hoping it would help him recover from his shock.
The bitten man waved his hands repeatedly.
Just kidding, snakes are something that terrify anyone who gets bitten.
He would rather not eat that meat than see a snake again.
After this experience of the snake hiding in the grass, everyone deliberately avoided denser grass when traveling further.
Only Bai Song was still persistent. When he saw particularly dense grass, he jumped out of the car and used a stick to knock it down.
Surprisingly, after this reprimand, he actually caught a few.
During this time, Lu Qingqing also encountered a startled wild rabbit.
As expected, I got a skinny wild rabbit.
When Bai Song saw it, he was extremely envious.
After examining it closely, I came to a conclusion.
Compared to the plump wild rabbits on the previous mountain, this rabbit wasn't doing so well.
Look at those thighs, there's hardly any flesh on them!
