Closer to My True Form Every Day

Chapter 150: Snake nest

Views:

Although I don't know what the venom is made of, looking at the two chickens, it shouldn't be heavy metal poisoning. Heavy metals deposited on bones will cause them to turn black. Although the two chickens are black, they are not the kind of black that comes from heavy metal poisoning. As for the specific ingredients in the venom and the properties of the venom, we should wait until the doctor comes to find out. Feng Yi didn't dare to try anything else for the time being.

Seeing Xiao Bing's cautious attitude when cooking, Feng Yi was afraid of accidentally hurting other people. Just like Xiao Bing said, there is no antidote, and if they are poisoned, they will be doomed.

As for the quality of the meat, Xiao Bing said that the cooking method was still the same as before, but the meat was too soft and rotten in the end. Xiao Bing, who was extremely experienced, did not need to try it, he just needed to pick it up with chopsticks to know.

Xiao Bing thought it was due to improper cooking methods, and told Feng Yi that he would make adjustments when cooking the poisoned chicken next time.

However, Feng Yi felt that no matter how the adjustments were made, the chicken cooked in the end would still be much softer and more tender than chicken cooked by ordinary methods.

In addition to killing prey, venom also has another function - digestion.

Some venomous snakes in nature, after biting their prey and successfully injecting venom, if the prey escapes, the digestive enzymes in the venom will have already begun to work in the prey's body while they are chasing the prey by following the scent.

Feng Yi recalled the texture of the two chickens. Apparently, the venom in his own poison also had a certain digestive function. Feng Yi even felt that the longer the two chickens were poisoned, the softer and more rotten their meat would be.

Expanding our thinking further, if our digestive function is poor, will we be able to evolve venom with stronger digestive function one day

Can it even turn the food into a puddle of paste in the end

Feng Yi had a serious look on his face.

It’s better not to over-evolve this function, it’s scary.

Putting the matter of venom aside for the moment, Feng Yi made some plans for himself. He still had to improve the laboratory as soon as possible, recruit doctors to be the safest, and make anti-venom drugs. Otherwise, the people around him, including the housekeeper, would be in danger every day. Even if they were not afraid, Feng Yi himself was afraid. What if he accidentally hurt them

Of course, you still have to keep the venom every day.

Didn’t the information I looked up say that with the development of technology, snake venom has surpassed snake gallbladder in research value and is much more expensive than gold!

Feng Yi was flipping through the product catalog provided by the equipment company when he received a new message on his phone. Bai Lu left a message on the chat app, asking Feng Yi if he would be at home tomorrow and if he had time. If he was free, he would bring Feng Yi some new dishes from his restaurant and take a look at the fish in Feng Yi's koi pond.

Feng Yi also knew that Bai Lu's purpose was the koi. If it hadn't been too late on the day of fishing, Bai Lu would have wanted to come over and take a look at the koi. He was thinking about them in his heart.

Feng Yi replied to his message, saying that he was at home and free and asked him to come over directly.

After a while, Bai Lu sent another reply, saying that he came with Mo Xiaoguang, and Mo Xiaoguang also wanted to come and catch two koi to raise.

It made no difference to Feng Yi whether there was one person or two people. Anyway, there were only so many areas for them to move around here, and it was impossible for them to go up to the second floor.

After replying to Bai Lu, Feng Yi told the other people in the family to make some preparations, especially Xiao Bing. Some things in the kitchen cannot be seen by outsiders, such as gas masks that are used to defend against biological and chemical weapons. It is better to hide them, otherwise if they are seen, people will suspect that they are doing something illegal at home.

Guests may not necessarily go to the kitchen, but it is always good to be prepared and tidy up things in the house.

However, the housekeeper is in charge of areas outside the kitchen, so Feng Yi doesn't need to worry about those things as the old man is very reliable.

The next day, Bai Lu and Mo Xiaoguang came around noon. In the morning, Bai Lu sent a message to Feng Yi saying that they had something else and would be a little late, but would be able to make it in time for lunch.

Bai Lu had someone deliver the new dishes from Bai Lu's restaurant first.

When Bai Lu and Mo Xiaoguang arrived, Feng Yi discovered that after not seeing them for two days, Mo Xiaoguang looked much more haggard, with thick dark circles under his eyes as if he was severely sleep deprived, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

Seeing this, Feng Yi expressed his concern: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"

"Hey, don't mention it."

Mo Xiaoguang wiped his face, took the teacup handed to him by Xiao Bing, took two sips, and continued: "From the time I encountered a giant python while fishing in the middle of the night at the resort, to the poisonous snakes I saw at Tang Kui's factory, my psychological shadow has not only not shrunk, but has become even bigger! I wanted to overcome the psychological shadow, but the fear was too tight."

Mo Xiaoguang had a great time fishing during the day, but when he went back to bed at night, what came to his mind was not the fishing scenes during the day, but the poisonous snakes raised by Tang Kui! A terrible creature called "Wednesday" cobra!

Mo Xiaoguang himself didn't know why the patterns of those venomous snakes could appear so clearly in his mind! And they kept replaying!

It was obvious that he didn't try hard to remember it at that time!

I was scared to look at it any longer!

The brain always remembers things it shouldn’t remember!

The more you fear something, the clearer you remember it!

That night, Mo Xiaoguang put on headphones and listened to cheerful songs. After an hour or two of trying to sleep, he finally fell asleep. But!

I dreamed that there were snakes in my house at night. And it wasn't just one, but a bunch of them!

There were cobras and pythons, which scared me awake in the middle of the night.

Recalling the scene in his dream, Mo Xiaoguang felt like he was about to die.

He was so scared that he couldn't fall asleep even with the lights on. He didn't fall asleep until dawn, so he brought his mother's cat into the room to sleep with him.

The next day, when Mo Xiaoguang walked into the living room yawning, his grandmother was watching TV. The science documentary on TV was about snakes.

Mo Xiaoguang had no idea what was going on in his mind at the time. He was obviously scared to death but he was still watching it like a self-torturer.

At night, I had another nightmare.

Knowing that Bai Lu was going to Feng Yi's house to see the koi, he also wanted to catch two koi and put them by his bed. Will the koi raised by the snake catcher's home help him to overcome his nightmares? Can they bring him a little sense of security

When chatting with Bai Lu, Mo Xiaoguang also told him about his nightmare and wanted Bai Lu to give some advice.

Bai Lu was a superstitious person at a young age. When he heard Mo Xiaoguang say that he had a nightmare about snakes, he asked Mo Xiaoguang to find a dream interpreter.

In fact, Mo Xiaoguang didn't have high expectations for the so-called dream interpreters, who were a bunch of scammers.

However, when he thought about the dreams he had at night, although many of the situations in the dreams were already quite vague, the feeling of being covered in cold sweats and being so scared that he didn't know how to react still made his scalp tingle.

That's why they left early in the morning but arrived at Feng Yi's place close to lunch time. They went to find the dream interpreter.

Feng Yi listened blankly to their schedule this morning.

"Dream interpretation? What did you interpret?" Feng Yi asked.

Mo Xiaoguang's spirits perked up, and there seemed to be light in his eyes, "Master said, this is a dream of getting rich!"

Feng Yi:

Mo Xiaoguang: "I'm not afraid when he talks about getting rich!"

Feng Yi: “…”

This is not a dream interpreter, this is a psychologist! The awesome one! What he says is what customers want to hear and what is most effective! Even if customers know it might be fake, they are willing to pay!

Anyway, Mo Xiaoguang is happy to pay the money.

After lunch, Bai Lu went to see the koi he had been longing for.

"Brother Yi, your koi is indeed plump. When I saw the photo you sent me yesterday, I thought it was some kind of filter effect on your phone."

Bai Lu stared at the pond, drooling at the sight of those plump yet lively koi. It wasn't that he wanted to eat them, he was just greedy. He always felt that the koi in the pond were particularly pleasing!

Mo Xiaoguang was also amazed, "This is the first time I've seen a koi that's fatter than those silly-looking koi in the park."

As he spoke, he pointed at the water in the pond. The big fat koi in the park would gather around when people approached, opening their mouths to beg for food.

But in the pond in front of me, those small but thriving koi in horizontal direction are very smart. When the water ripples, they will swing their tails and run away. After a while, they will swim over again. However, when I touch the water with my fingers, they will dodge flexibly.

Perhaps, this is what Bai Lu meant by "spirituality".

No wonder Bai Lu is obsessed with Feng Yi's koi.

"Brother Yi, how do you raise this koi? Its size is almost as big as a pufferfish." Mo Xiaoguang took a photo with his mobile phone and posted it on WeChat Moments.

It's an exaggeration to say that its body resembles a pufferfish. It's not as exaggeratedly round as an inflatable pufferfish, but at first glance, it's obviously several times fatter than the average koi. If you don't know, you might think it's some strange species.

Feng Yi himself didn't know how these koi grew to be like this, "I usually don't take care of them, it's Xiao Bing who takes care of them."

Bai Lu got up and went to Xiao Bing to discuss some fish farming experience and asked for some fish food. He would buy it directly and come to pick it up after a while.

Mo Xiaoguang originally wanted to go over and listen, but as he listened, the topic discussed by Bai Lu and Chef Xiao Bing changed from "How to make healthy fish food" to "Should raisins be added to fried rice", so he returned to the koi pond.

Mo Xiaoguang has no interest in cooking. He can only eat but not cook, because no matter how he cooks, the food will be turned into waste.

He asked Feng Yi for tools to catch the fish. Mo Xiaoguang brought his own fish tank, so he just had to pick two and put them in the tank. He didn't study the colors and varieties, so after comparing them, he picked the two koi that he thought were the fattest.

"I hope these two koi can get some of your 'snake killer' aura!" said Mo Xiaoguang.

Feng Yi laughed when he heard this. They were just two small fish. How could they have the aura of being the snake killer

Also, what kind of snake nemesis is he... Hey, the butler said that snakes are actually on his menu, and if it weren't for the Animal Protection Act, he could actually eat them.

This should also be considered a nemesis, right

Putting aside some thoughts in his mind, Feng Yi asked him: "Are you not afraid of snakes after interpreting the dream?"

Mo Xiaoguang, who was fishing, smiled helplessly and said, "How could that be possible? Actually, I also know that the dream interpreter was just fooling me, but I have no other choice. I am scared, and I just need some 'answers' to brainwash myself so that I won't be so scared and have nightmares all night. It's only been two nights, and look at my dark circles."

Mo Xiaoguang pointed at his sleepy eyes and laughed at himself: "If I continue to have nightmares like this, I can only hope that they will transform into human form and find Lingzhi to save me."

Feng Yi: "… You've watched too much TV. If you continue to have nightmares, go see a proper psychologist."

Mo Xiaoguang responded in a muffled voice and encouraged himself, "Actually, if I think about it carefully, I still have the courage to face snakes. I even dare to watch documentaries."

Feng Yi asked: "What if I encounter a snake again in real life..."

Mo Xiaoguang: "If I encounter a snake again, I will first yell to show respect! Then I will pick up a weapon and confront it!"

Feng Yi was just about to praise.

Mo Xiaoguang was full of heroic spirit: "This will be more heroic!"

Feng Yi: "... You think too much. Most snakes in nature are afraid of humans, and even giant pythons do not prey on adults. Just don't provoke them."

Mo Xiaoguang nodded vigorously, "Don't provoke me! Although I dare to watch documentaries, in reality I am still the kind of person who wants to escape across the region when I hear there are snakes everywhere. Going to Tang Kui's breeding farm is a breakthrough in my life! And then, as expected, I was bitten back, and cobras appeared in my dreams."

Recalling the dream, Mo Xiaoguang shuddered, "I dreamed last night that I entered a snake's nest. I was so scared... Look at the goose bumps on my arms! As soon as I mentioned the dream, I felt this way. The goose bumps are about to pop out of my skin. If I really entered a snake's nest in real life, I would be so scared that I would die!"

Feng Yi said calmly: "...Oh."

That day, Mo Xiaoguang returned home with two fat koi he had caught and reverently placed the fish tank beside his bed.

I don’t know if it was because I watched the Dream Master during the day, or because I put a koi from the Snake Nemesis family by my bed, anyway—

That night, Mo Xiaoguang slept very peacefully.
