Chapter 758 A strange group hug

Chapter 758 A strange group hug

For those who carry the stick and the string of money, it is auspicious.

In other words, where there are money strings, there may not necessarily be sticks, but wherever there are sticks, there are usually money sticks around.

Now that he encountered such a big python, even if it was not the time when the ginseng seeds were ripe, Lu Lu had plans to search the area carefully.

Nothing else, just because of the moss on this giant python.

Moss has grown all over its body, indicating that it has been entrenched in this place for a long time.

But Lu Lu felt that it was a little unreasonable.

Those who hibernate in winter cannot stay in a place directly covered by snow. At least they should find a cave to hide.

There is no shortage of caves in the dry rice bowl.

It is very likely that after the sting, the snakes went out to hunt for prey before crawling out.

Snakes are fixed in caves.

"It's so big...how can I invite you? You can't fight, right? Don't you say you have to avoid it when you see a bunch of money?" Lin Yulong asked curiously.

Liang Kangbo also smiled bitterly and said: "Since I started hunting, I have given up smoking! Now I don't even want to smoke anymore."

Dry smoke is a necessary item for many mountaineers to go into the mountains. One of its purposes is to refresh the mind and brain during rest. Another function is to drive away mosquitoes. If the body is stained with the smell of dry smoke, snakes, insects, rats, and ants will not come close to you. .

Among them, there is also a very key role - to repel snakes.

The place where Bangchui grows is rich in skewers, so when the senior ginseng gang discovers Bangchui, they won't rush over to see if they are curious.

And often at this time, the head will shout: "Get the fire."

Everyone took out their pipes and pots, filled themselves with a pot of cigarettes, lit them, smoked hard, and then invariably blew smoke towards the place where the stick was.

It looks like rest, but actually there is a reason for it.

Qianchuanzi is sensitive to smell. Under the irritating smell of dry tobacco, the nearby Qianchuanzi will quickly leave. Those who are entrenched next to the stick will also be poisoned by the smoke of dry tobacco, no matter how fierce the posture is. They will also hang their heads listlessly and wander away listlessly.

But now, in order to hunt and prevent his scent from disturbing the prey, Liang Kangbo had quit smoking long ago, and the others did not smoke.

"I have a way!"

Lu Lu took out a small bottle of tiger balm from his hunting bag, picked it with his nails and opened it with a lot of effort.

This is one of the medicines Lu Lu prepared when he went to the mountain to refresh his mind, relieve pain and relieve itching.

He picked up his pick stick, took out a lump of tiger oil from the small iron box and smeared it on the pick stick. While wiping it, he said: "Qian Chuanzi is most afraid of things with irritating smells, such as Fengyoujing, cooling oil and garlic. It can effectively drive them away. When you encounter money strings at home, you can also use them, but don’t think about using realgar, it has no effect on money strings. "

"Realgar doesn't work?"

Lin Yulong asked doubtfully: "I still drink realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival, and scatter realgar wine around the house..."

"It really has no effect. Besides, drink less realgar. It's just some minerals. It may be effective in killing insects, but it's really useless in preventing money strings." Lu Lu said with certainty.

Then, he took two steps forward, grasped the handle of the Soba Stick that had turned red and exploded, and stretched the Soba Stick with a dollop of snake oil on the top toward the python.

Seeing the Soba stick, the python suddenly bit towards the stick and pulled back sharply.

Lu Lu originally just wanted to smoke it, but he didn't know it was so ferocious, so he just chose to bite it. He also underestimated the power of the python, staggered when it was pulled, and quickly let go.

The python probably didn't expect that such a stimulating thing would be smeared on the stick. How could it bear it? It quickly relaxed its mouth and spat out Lu Lu's treasure stick. It opened its mouth with sharp fangs and made a hissing sound. It began to twist and roll on the ground.

The smell I fear most is in my mouth. There is probably nothing more uncomfortable than this.

Seeing the python rolling on the ground, Lu Lu didn't even dare to take back the stick, and hurriedly told the others to stay away.

After watching the python struggle for a while, it gradually calmed down, turned around and swam out to the side.

It didn't take long before the python got in from a stone cave.

Lu Lu also took back his picket stick and asked a few people to take a good look at this place.

Several people carefully searched around, but who knew that within 2 minutes, Liang Kangbo screamed again.

They were all searching this area. When he called out, several people looked over.

"What's the matter?"

Both veterans were shocked today... Lu Lu asked quickly.

"There's a bunch of money stringers here!"

When Liang Kangbo said this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his face full of shock.

It is not difficult to see from this expression that he was no less frightened than Zhang Shaofeng when he encountered the giant python just now.

Is it another python?

If this was the case, Lu Lu began to wonder whether he should consider giving up this place where snakes were frequent for the sake of safety.

You know, the python as thick as a can bottle just now is capable of swallowing a person.

The key is that few people have seen this kind of snake and cannot recognize it. What Zhao Yongke said is more of a rumor.Moreover, looking at the black scales all over its body, as well as the purple and black snakes and fangs it spits out, it looks like a poisonous snake, which must not be underestimated.

If it gets bitten, I don't know if it can be saved.Personal safety is more important than the mallet.

Several people approached carefully, and when they saw the scene in the gap between the stones not far from Liang Kangbo, their scalps couldn't help but feel numb.

There, there were at least thirty or forty pheasant necks of different sizes.

The pheasant necks are entangled with each other, rolling and squirming.

That scene, let alone thirty or forty, even three or four, entangled together, can make people feel chilly when they see it.

Most people are afraid of this weird cold-blooded animal from the bottom of their hearts.

The current exaggerated scene is even more frightening.

Pheasants were hung by their necks on the rocks and branches of the bushes nearby, and they were divided into several groups, moving and crossing in a messy manner.

"This is mating!" Lu Lu whispered.

He himself was terrified, and he had never been so scared when he saw the big claws.

"Normally, crocodiles live alone, and this kind of grouping rarely occurs. However, during the breeding season, there are many species of crocodiles, and the females will secrete a unique odor from their skin or other parts to attract males. Snakes come over to mate and reproduce, which looks disgusting but is considered normal.”

Lu Lu explained in a low voice.

Inexplicably, he didn't dare to speak loudly.

Subconsciously, it was as if he was afraid that louder sounds would alarm these snakes.

"So it is!"

Lin Yulong took a long breath: "I have seen a few snakes twisting together in the ditch and streams before, causing a big bubble to appear in that area. I was still there at that time I wonder if each of these snakes wants to bite one to death.

When I talked to people after I got back, I heard the old man say that people who see these things will be unlucky.In my heart, I haven't felt at ease for a long time, and I am afraid that I will be unlucky. "

In many places, older people do believe that seeing snakes huddled together will bring bad luck.

Lu Lu also heard that if you see a snake entangled, you must kill it, otherwise it will be unlucky. I also heard that people who see a snake entangled must take off their pants and step back twelve steps before they can put on their pants. go home.

He felt that the idea of ​​taking off his pants was ridiculous, but it was enough to show that most people would not think it was a good thing when they saw a snake.

Such a scene, the numbness of the scalp, and the pervasive fishy smell are really unbearable.

The key is that when Lu Lu was scanning the snakes, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a small branch that was moved by the snakes.

Not far from the snake group, next to the Shilizi, what is it if it's not a stick?

There are only two small branches and the small leaves are fresh green. This is a [-]-year-old tree.

This little twister is the key.

Finding this thing often means that there may be many mallets nearby.

"Forget it, this place is too scary, let's find another place!"

Zhang Shaofeng really didn't want to stay in this place for a long time. He had just been scared by a big python once, so he walked not far and saw such a strange scene again, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Let's change. I've been looking at this area for a while, but I can't see any signs of sticks. Look for it elsewhere. Don't waste time here." Liang Kangbo also had similar opinions.

Several people looked at Lu Lu, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Lu Lu smiled slightly at this moment, and his eyes were still scanning the place where the snakes gathered. In just a short while, in addition to the Erjiazi tree, he saw the one next to the Shilizi tree that was higher up. Under the lime tree, I saw a second stick tree. Judging from the three branches on the stem, it should be a lampstand.

It feels like this is where the big stuff is going to come from, because further up there are a lot of stone tiles, but it is also a place where linden trees grow densely, which is perfect for hammering.

"We really have to search hard here...I've already found something."

Lu Lu smiled slightly, raised his voice and shouted: "Bangchui!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quickly answered: "How many grades of leaves?"

"Second-grade leaves!" Lu Lu responded.

"Quickly..."

Everyone was smiling, and after they finished shouting, they asked Lu Lu: "Where is the stick?"

Lu Lu pointed at the two stick trees he saw: "There is a Erjiazhu tree somewhere. Next to the stone lazi at the top, at the foot of the lime tree, there is a lamp stand. I believe there is a big deal further up."

The eyesight of several people was not as good as Lu Lu's, nor was he as skilled in killing weeds. Even with his guidance, the few people who felt that the snakes were panicking had to get closer to see what Lu Lu said. Erjiazi.

As for the lampstand further away, it is impossible to distinguish it.

But seeing the Erjiazi tree clearly showed that Lu Lu was not calling Zhishan.

"Quickly, quickly, take out all the tiger balm you carry in your hunting bag!"

Zhang Shaofeng suddenly lost his previous fear and became excited: "We can't wait here to see them do good things. Please leave immediately."

This is another time to use tiger balm to drive away snakes!

Seeing several people take off their hunting bags and take the tiger balm inside, Lu Lu quickly stopped and said: "Don't waste it, think of other ways, even if it's wormwood or something, just invite them away." It’s far away, we have to put it in a lot of places, and that little bit of snake oil is not enough.”
