Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 427 Fighting poison with poison
Hearing this, Zhang Hu approached the red-crowned snake with a puzzled expression.

After picking it up with a stick and looking at it carefully, he said: "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed it yet. After looking carefully, it seems to be a little thinner than the one I saw before, and the red crown on the top of my head seems to be a little smaller. "

"If that's the case, there will be more than just a red-crowned snake around us." Wang Chen said in a deep voice.

Zhang Hu spat at the snake on the ground: "Mom, I thought Yongjue was in trouble, but I didn't expect that only a small one died, and there was a big one hidden behind it."

Wang Chen pondered for a while and said: "We will think of ways to deal with the other red-crowned snakes later. Let's first see the damage to chickens, ducks and geese."

As he spoke, he and Zhang Hu entered the nearest goose house first.

In order to avoid omissions due to carelessness, they almost picked up a goose and peeled off its feathers to look for wounds similar to snake bites.

Such detailed work is extremely time-consuming.

At first, I could barely see clearly through the setting sun. Later, one person basically used a flashlight while the other person took a closer look.

They stayed in the goose house for a full hour before completely inspecting more than 20 geese.

Such hard work has paid off with good news.

Among the more than 20 geese, only one had a visible wound on its leg. Although it was bitten by a snake, it was not completely bitten.

Of course, despite this, Wang Chen also placed the goose alone in an empty area.

One is to avoid more problems, and the other is that these geese are going to be delivered to the hotel later. Even if they are not actually poisoned by snake venom, he has to treat them with caution just to be sure.

Next, there is the duck house.

Here in the duck house, they took longer.

But after the final inspection, they took a deep breath.

Of the 37 ducks, not a single one had been bitten by a snake.

This surprised Zhang Hu, who also asked in surprise: "Those geese are not a big deal, because goose droppings are the nemesis of snakes, but how come this duck has less damage than the goose house?"

Wang Chen thought for a while and said, "I remember that when I was young, my grandfather also raised some ducks. At that time, there seemed to be a duck that ate a snake."

"Is a duck so fierce?" Zhang Hu asked in astonishment.

Wang Chen shook his head: "I don't know, but there is no loss, which is the best thing for us. No matter how it avoided the poisonous snake."

"That's true."

Zhang Hu grinned, and then walked out of the duck house with Wang Chen.

When the two of them walked to the door of the chicken coop, the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.

When they arrived just now, a chicken had already died here.

At the moment, there were two chickens inside that were not very alive. Looking at their wilted appearance, Wang Chen sighed: "The ducks escaped, and the geese didn't suffer much loss, but I'm afraid this chicken..."

When he said this, Zhang Hu patted him on the shoulder: "Let's do everything we do and obey fate. This kind of thing is something that none of us can predict or control."

Wang Chen took a deep breath, walked into the chicken coop with Zhang Hu, and began to check one by one.

After nearly two hours of inspection of more than 40 chickens, seven of them were poisoned by snake venom. During their inspection, not counting the ones that died initially, three more of the seven died one after another.

Looking at the remaining four chickens that were bitten but not dead, Zhang Hu frowned and said, "You can detoxify people, so can these chickens be saved?"

Wang Chen frowned: "It's difficult, because after all, the internal structure of chickens and humans are very different, and the immunity of chickens is lower than that of humans. However, even so, I am ready to give it a try , these chickens have been eating food with herbal medicines mixed by me in recent times. Maybe it can delay the onset of snake venom, so let me save them."

"Well, this is the best. Even if you don't continue to sell them for money, even if you just give them to us to eat. At least it's not a waste." Zhang Hu sighed and said.

Wang Chen nodded, and he and Zhang Hu took out the dead chickens and the ones that were about to die.

When Wang Chen was about to walk into the house, Zhang Hu asked, "Aren't you going to see what's going on over there at the fish pond?"

Wang Chen shook his head and said: "The fish pond should be fine. It is extremely difficult for snakes like the red-crowned snake to release venom after entering the water. At the same time, it should just pass by there and will not bite those fish. If it does If bitten, the fish would have died long ago.

Of course, despite saying this, in order to avoid unknown dangers, it is best to change the water in the fish pond. "

"Then let me change it, and you can think about detoxification." Zhang Hu said.

Wang Chen nodded, but did not forget to say: "It's dark, be careful when changing the water."

Zhang Hu smiled and said: "Don't worry, if that damn snake comes again, I will make sure it never comes back!"

After saying that, the two of them performed their duties.

There were a lot of herbs in his car, so he prepared an antidote to the poison in a short time.

After feeding the chickens and geese, Wang Chen placed the live chickens and geese in a separate pen and prepared to observe them for a few days.

At this time, Zhang Hu had also changed the water in the fish pond and put in new fish food.

The two of them walked into the house and unanimously set their sights on the dead chickens.

"Can this thing still be eaten? It would be a pity to throw it away." Zhang Hu muttered.

Wang Chen shook his head: "Snake venom has invaded their blood vessels. No matter how clean they are, there is still a risk of poisoning if people eat them."

"What should we do? Just throw it away?" Zhang Hu said with a distressed look on his face.

Wang Chen's eyes swayed twice: "I will definitely throw them away, but I still want to let them use their remaining heat to help us do something big."

"What's the big deal?" Zhang Hu asked curiously.

Wang Chen raised the corner of his mouth: "They were poisoned by snakes, and I plan to use them to poison the snakes again."

Hearing this, Zhang Hu was startled: "Are you kidding? The snake itself is poisonous. If you say you kill it with a knife, I can still believe it, but how can you poison the snake to death in turn?"

Wang Chen smiled and said: "Haven't you heard of the principle of fighting poison with poison? Snake venom is fixed. When you use a poison more powerful than its own, you can poison it in turn.

Of course, I have only seen this method in books. I don’t know exactly how it works. "

"If it didn't succeed, wouldn't you have taken the initiative to deliver the food to others' mouths?" Zhang Hu frowned.

"Let me try it first." Wang Chen waved his hand: "What's more, besides snakes, there are many other animals around. Some mountain rats and the like sometimes come to steal chickens and fish. If these things are put away When we go outside, even if the poison doesn't kill the snake, it can help us poison some other animals."

Zhang Hu nodded: "It makes some sense."

"Brother Hu, you can go back and rest. I will stay here today to keep vigil." Wang Chen said with a smile.

Zhang Hu responded and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he suddenly thought of something.
