Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 58 Red Crowned Snake

After hearing Wang Chen's words, Zhang Hu and Liu Shitou subconsciously looked around.

Then Zhang Hu muttered: "Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing how nervous they were, Wang Chen suddenly sneered and said, "I was just kidding. Although the orchard is easy to hide people,

But it is relatively close to the village, and the villagers and police will come here whenever there is any movement. Unless the fugitive is a fool, he will definitely not come here. "

Zhang Hu nodded: "That's right, don't think about these nonsense, hurry up and get to work. Let's go home early when we're done."

They said they were not afraid, but everyone felt a little scared in their hearts.

That is a fugitive who has killed others. No matter who encounters him, he will probably not get any good results.

Perhaps they were anxious to get home before dark, because the three of them ate and worked much faster than before.

The work that could have been completed at seven or eight o'clock was finished at around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Hu and Liu Shitou had both done carpentry work for a period of time before. With their help and Wang Chen's command, the frame of the orchard house had been completely built.

Although it was just a wooden frame, Wang Chen was very happy.

The general appearance of this house is similar to before, but it is taller and larger than before.

He thought, if grandpa Izumi knew it, he would also laugh out loud, right?

"The rest is just piled with stones. One day when we have nothing to do, we will go and bring a few carts of stones and loess. With the speed at which the three of us work, we should be able to completely build the house in two or three days."

Hearing Zhang Hu's words, Liu Shitou nodded in agreement: "There are a lot of stones over there in Donghe Bay. If we come back early from the mountains one day, we can bring some back with us."

"Speaking of Donghe Bay, why don't we go there and catch two fish while it's still early?" Zhang Hu suggested.

Wang Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I haven't gone down to the river to touch fish for several years."

"Roast two small fishes in the evening and have a few glasses of wine. The taste is pretty good," Liu Shitou agreed.

The three of them hit it off immediately, threw the packed tools into the car, and headed towards the river bend to the east of the village.

"Why are there so many weeds here?"

After arriving at the place, Wang Chen pointed to the front and said: "I remember coming here when I was a child, and I could see directly across the river from here, but now it is blocked by weeds and I can't even see the road."

"It's not the fault of the red-crowned snake." Zhang Hu scolded: "Ever since five or six years ago, several villagers in the village were bitten by the red-crowned snake, no one dared to come over casually. No one came , the grass will definitely grow taller and much longer."

"Red-crowned snake?" Wang Chen raised his eyebrows. These three words could not be said to be unfamiliar to him, but they could not be said to be familiar either.

He was studying abroad before, and Liu Shitou mentioned it to him once or twice when someone drove him to see him.

At that time, Wang Chen was very curious about this kind of snake because Liu Shitou's description was very mysterious, saying that the snake had a cockscomb-like thing on its head and two tails.

Looking at the curious look he cast, Zhang Hu used a hatchet to cut the weeds to clear the way, and said: "There are three pests in our village. One is the wolf in the back mountain, the other is Liu Dagen in the village, and the third one is The red-crowned snake in Donghewan.”

Hearing this, Wang Chen suddenly sneered: "Liu Dagen is really awesome. He can actually have the same deterrent power as wolves and snakes."

"Who says it's not?" Zhang Hu added: "Actually, I have never seen this red-crowned snake with my own eyes. I just heard from the villagers that there is something like a rooster's comb on the top of its head, and there seems to be some hair on its body. What’s important is that there are two tails.”

"Is this really the case?" Wang Chen asked.

Zhang Hu shook his head: "I think it was exaggerated. The description was too mysterious." "It's not mysterious, it's true." Liu Shitou said: "That year, my wife was doing laundry in Hewan. I came to call her. While she was eating, she saw a shadow upstream."

"Although I didn't see the whole body, its appearance was similar to what the villagers described."

"How thick and long is it?" Wang Chen asked.

Liu Shitou gestured and said, "It's not too thick, just a little thicker than my thumb. As for the length, it's probably about 1.5 meters."

Wang Chen scratched his head: "When I was taking a traditional Chinese medicine class at school, the teacher introduced us to various snakes.

In his story, there is a kind of snake with a red crown on its head. The name is different in different places, but most of these snakes live in tropical rainforests.
It stands to reason that it is not suitable to live here, but how could it appear? "

"I don't know." Liu Shitou shook his head and said: "Anyway, there are indeed some. Although most people have not dared to come in the past two years, sometimes some people can't help but come and touch a few fish. Some of them have also seen it. ."

"I really want to see what it looks like." The words of Zhang Hu and Liu Shitou aroused Wang Chen's curiosity.

When he was studying medicine, he majored in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine knows hundreds of herbs and knows all kinds of poisons. Although snakes are very scary to others, to Chinese medicine, they are full of treasures.

Hearing his words, Liu Shitou immediately shook his head: "I hope you will never see that snake."

"What?"

"In the past few years, when people talked about that snake, it just crawled and walked. But in the past two years, I heard that when the snake saw people, half of its body would stand upright, and it was very fast.
If you see it, I'm afraid it will chase you and bite you before you can run away. "

Wang Chen grinned: "If it's like what you said, then should we still go fishing? After all, in the summer, snakes will come to the river to drink water."

Liu Shitou smiled and said: "The snake is upstream and rarely comes here, so it should be safe here."

"Safe ass!"

As soon as Liu Shitou finished speaking, Zhang Hu's yelling voice came from in front of him.

Hearing this, Wang Chen and Liu Shitou hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Hu pointed to a place not far away from his feet: "Look, if it weren't for my quick eyesight and quick hands, I would have been bitten by this beast."

Wang Chen looked intently and saw where Zhang Hu pointed, a snake lying in two parts.

The hatchet in Zhang Hu's hand still had some blood stains on it.

Liu Shitou smiled awkwardly: "This is just an ordinary snake. I killed one at my house two days ago."

Zhang Hu cursed and said: "It's a blessing, otherwise I would have been bitten to death by the red-crowned snake by the time you guys came over."

"Look, just now Brother Tiger said he didn't believe there were red-crowned snakes, and now he's starting to get scared."

When Liu Shitou was talking, he looked at Wang Chen, but Wang Chen did not respond, but looked straight at the place behind Zhang Hu.

His pupils were constricted, and he was slightly nervous and a little scared.

Seeing this, Liu Shitou scratched his neck: "Chenzi, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Chen raised his hand and pointed behind Zhang Hu: "Red... the red-crowned snake is about to bite..."
