The king cobra has a very loud reputation, and it is a very dangerous reputation.
"Dou Jiu, isn't your uncle a doctor? Ask him what to do if you get bitten." said a young man.
Dou Jiu shook his head. "My uncle is a doctor, but he is not a doctor in this field. Besides, most doctors in the north have never seen a king cobra bite. There are no king cobras in my hometown. If a snake from the south appears in the north, it can be basically confirmed that it was brought in through illegal channels."
Another person also said: "I heard that someone over there was buying poisonous snakes on the black market to make wine. The Joint Security Bureau investigated a lot of them."
Most of them were born and raised in northern cities, and when they came to the south for tourism, they found that the flying insects, reptiles, venomous snakes, and the like were all scary big. But they were looking for this sense of novelty.
"This time I just want to experience life in the mountains in the south. I've watched a lot of videos on social media and want to feel the pure wild nature here."
"Then isn't this a profound feeling?" Dou Jiu forced a smile.
The place where Dou Jiu threw the kettle was also the photo-taking spot they had chosen at the time.
"Is the scenery here good? Let's take a picture together! Brother Snake, are you coming? Let's join us!"
Several people set up their phones and took a group photo.
The C position is reserved for Feng Yi.
Next to Feng Yi was Dou Jiu, with one foot hanging, holding a shoe and a water bottle in his arms.
Afterwards, several people took a few more photos freely.
Feng Yi also recorded this location with his mobile phone and sent it to the expert group chat group.
Oh yes, also mention it when writing the summary report. This information can also provide reference for relevant investigators and researchers.
"Oh no! I didn't take a picture of that king cobra!" Dou Jiu said, slapping his thigh.
At that time, I was only concerned about escaping, so why would I think about taking pictures!
Xiao Mu said: "I took a picture and sent it to you."
He was taking pictures of the scenery at the time and he quickly took a picture when he saw the snake.
Dou Jiu was looking through the photos Xiao Mu sent him, and he said, "Did you still have the energy to take photos at that time?"
Xiao Mu said embarrassedly: "I heard on the Internet that if you see a snake in the wild, take a photo. If you are bitten, you can take it to the hospital so that the doctor can know what kind of snake it is and give effective treatment as soon as possible."
Dou Jiu: "Well, it's more important to escape. If you get bitten, take pictures."
Dou Jiu edited the pictures and planned to post his shocking experience on his Moments and social media platforms.
"Brother Snake, can I post the photo we just took online?"
Dou Jiu showed Feng Yi the photos he had just taken.
Feng Yi thought about it and said, "Okay."
Anyway, he doesn't live in the scenic area, so he just takes a walk here and then goes back to the monitoring base. Even if someone comes to the scenic area, they won't be able to find him.
"How about adding me as a friend? I'll send you the photos, including the one of the king cobra just now."
Others thought: Treacherous!
Then quickly call out the QR code for adding friends.
This guy is an expert! More experts, more paths!
After Dou Jiu added Feng Yi as a friend, he sent the photo to Feng Yi, then quickly edited the text and posted it on his Moments and social media platforms.
The text and pictures, with a slightly artistic touch, vividly describe the dangerous situation at the time, as well as the relief and gratitude for being rescued by Feng Yi.
At the same time, he did not forget what Feng Yi said, reminding people who come here to play: If you want to play in the wild, please go with a local guide or experienced residents. People who have lived here for generations know how to deal with snakes. They even know how to take shortcuts to save time when sending patients to the hospital.
When bitten by a venomous snake, all you have to do is race against time.
After writing, Dou Jiu added a sincere sentence at the end:
"Thank you, Brother Snake, for saving my life!"
Dou Jiu doesn’t have many fans on social platforms, but there are several big Vs among them. Once he reposts it, more people will see it.
There were so many factors that there were 99+ comments and reposts in a short period of time.
Just looking at the picture I thought it was a cobra, but it turned out to be a king cobra!
It is easy to distinguish between cobra and king cobra. Cobra is delicate while king cobra is more domineering.
She is so damn delicate, but in my eyes she looks scary! The kind that I dare not look at!
King cobra has strong venom and is over three meters long. If bitten by it, you must go to the doctor as soon as possible. Last time I saw news about someone bitten by a king cobra, he was sent to the doctor within an hour and lay in bed for 9 days before waking up! The blogger is also lucky to meet the snake brother who was running.
According to the blogger, even if they didn't encounter the snake, they could still escape. Snakes don't have good endurance. They may be very fast over short distances, but they are not good enough over long distances. This is the shortcoming of cold-blooded animals. Anyway, if I encounter a snake, as long as I don't get bitten, I will keep running. It won't bite me unless I fall down!
Key point: Don’t fall if you don’t get bitten
There is not enough space to run in circles [dog head]
Isn't it unreliable to go around in circles? What if it predicts your prediction... wouldn't that be a gift
When I saw the snake, I was so frightened that my whole body became stiff and I dared not move [terrified]
I dare to move, but my legs are weak and I can't run fast, and I fall easily. If I were in the blogger's situation, I would have been lying down long ago.
…
Dou Jiu quickly flipped through the messages and felt that he was quite courageous. He ran very fast at that time and there was no one holding him back.
After putting away his phone, Dou Jiu patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder and said, "Great job!"
Xiaomu looked at him blankly, not understanding why Dou Jiu suddenly said that.
The group continued walking towards the scenic area.
After arriving at the scenic spot and calling a taxi, Xiaomu accompanied Dou Jiu to the hospital.
Others headed to where they were staying.
There were many people who came here in a group, and for convenience, they directly booked a large yard in the B&B, which came with a barbecue grill.
A yard like this would cost several thousand a night here.
A few of them came here early and planned to stay until May Day. Some of their friends had to go to work and would not have time to come until May Day. Then they would play until the May Day holiday was over and then go back together.
"The B&B we chose has very good reviews online, and the store claims to be a 'snake-free B&B', saying that they have sprinkled some snake repellent around the area, so it won't be like some B&Bs and hotels where you find a snake entering the room in the middle of the night or turning over the pillow to find a snake hiding inside."
"However, what Dou Jiu likes most is the decoration style here, which is very unique and very cool!"
As he listened to them, Feng Yi looked towards the yard. Before he went in, he could get a general idea of what was going on from outside the yard.
It does not have the delicacy of the fresh and pastoral style. It is full of mountain atmosphere and the decoration style is more primitive and rough.
The courtyard wall and the house seemed to be built with large stones, with some moss attached to the stones.
There are unnamed vines and various flowers in the courtyard, which have a fantasy style like those in movies.
The young man next to him pointed to Feng Yi and said, "Look, there's a billboard on the wall saying no snake can get in here!"
"Although I don't know whether it's true or not, it still makes me feel safe when I see these, right?"
A few people chatted and laughed, and took Feng Yi into the yard.
Feng Yi smelled the scent in the air.
Some medicine has indeed been sprayed here. Snakes that are sensitive to strange smells will not like the smell and will certainly not come near here.
There are also some requirements for the plants planted in the yard. Even if they don’t drive away snakes, they won’t be the kind that attracts snakes.
Apparently, the locals have a knack for avoiding snakes.
Arriving at their own yard, the young men relaxed a lot:
"It's fine for us to live here. As long as we don't let mosquitoes into the house, it's easy to repel them. We don't care about other small insects and reptiles."
If they cared so much, they wouldn't have chosen this place for travel.
Of course, I am still concerned about poisonous snakes! Who would have thought that I would encounter a king cobra during my visit
"It is said that the number of venomous snakes has greatly decreased after the abnormal climate period. Now it seems that the surviving venomous snakes have reproduced and their numbers have increased. We still have to be careful when we go out."
Several people were fiddling with the barbecue grill and didn't let Feng Yi get involved. They just let him sit down and rest.
Feng Yi had nothing to do and didn't want to check his phone, so he observed the decoration here.
There is a wall decoration in the house, which is really unique and has a wild mountain feel. There are also some insect models inlaid on the wall as decoration.
This group of young people think that this is a kind of personality and they like it very much. Of course, they only like this special decoration style. If the insects on it are living things, they certainly won’t like it.
One of them came over and asked Feng Yi:
"Brother Snake, I once heard someone on the Internet say that you can detect whether there are poisonous snakes nearby, right?"
Feng Yi nodded, "But it may not be accurate."
Feng Yi cannot say this absolutely.
No normal person would say that he or she can spot snakes 100%.
"Then... could you please look around to see where the snakes are hiding?"
Feng Yi did not refuse this little thing.
He pretended to walk around the small courtyard.
Feng Yi said with certainty: "There are no snakes around here."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
When I go into the house to get something, I feel more confident when rummaging through the cabinets or pillows.
The atmosphere became lively again.
When Dou Jiu came back, he had a strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" someone asked.
Xiao Mu, who accompanied Dou Jiu to the hospital, said:
"We were just on our way to the hospital. On the way, someone asked him what happened to his leg. We said we were visiting nearby and saw a three-meter king cobra. When we were running, we stepped on a stone and injured our foot. I specifically said that we were not bitten by the snake.
"When I came back after treating the wound, I heard a rumor outside that 'two young people went to take pictures of the scenery and were bitten on the legs by a king cobra. They are now in the hospital for treatment'!"
Xiao Mu spread his hands and said, "So we just contacted the person in charge of the scenic spot here, explained the situation, and asked him to clarify the rumors to avoid causing unnecessary panic."
Dou Jiu was in a mixed mood. "If I wasn't the protagonist of this incident, I might actually believe this kind of rumor!"
The smell of barbecue dispelled Dou Jiu's worries, and he soon started chatting with a few people.
After saying that he wanted to thank his savior, Feng Yi didn't even have to do anything and the roasted meat was placed next to him.
"Just eat!"
After the barbecue, it was already dark.
The lights in the mountains are not as dazzling as those in the city, but they have a unique artistic conception.
Combined with the decoration style here, you can really feel a kind of authentic beauty!
They wanted Feng Yi to stay here for one night, but Feng Yi refused, saying that he had something else to do when he returned.
"Then be careful when you go back, it's not safe in the mountains. Oh, I have an electric bicycle in my room, Brother Snake, you can ride it over there." Dou Jiu got up from the wooden chair.
"No need, I'll just walk around to help digest the food." Feng Yi said as he walked out of the courtyard gate.
Dou Jiu also limped over. It would be polite to send his savior to the gate of the courtyard.
After knowing each other for a while, our speech has become more familiar. Before, calling him Brother Snake was just a respectful title, but now, calling him Brother Snake is like calling him a brother.
He put his arm around Feng Yi's shoulder in a very familiar manner, and walked out like two brothers.
After passing the gate, Dou Jiu came over and lowered his voice:
"Brother Snake, has that king cobra really left?"
Although Dou Jiu looked happy, he was still very scared inside. After all, this snake was not only poisonous, but also chased people.
Only if you have been chased by such a poisonous snake can you understand the feeling of fear and the deep psychological trauma it leaves behind.
"It probably won't appear nearby in the short term." Feng Yi said.
"That's good. Thank you, Brother Snake!"
Dou Jiu said with a smile, his eyes sweeping across the stone wall next to him.
"Oh, I just discovered after living here for two days that there are centipedes embedded in our courtyard wall. It's really pretty."
Feng Yi: “This is true.”
Dou Jiu: “…”
The smile on his face froze instantly.
His eyes were fixed on the giant centipede on the stone wall.
What’s even more terrifying is that at this moment, the centipede that was clinging to the wall fell down and landed right at his feet.
“Ouch!!”
Dou Jiu yelled.
The whole person jumped up on the spot.
Several people in the yard heard the howl and rushed out to see what was going on. They saw—
The tall and strong man had a look of fear on his face and was held steadily by Feng Yi in a princess-like posture.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Dou Jiu came back to his senses, and for a moment his face showed a look of despair.
The moment of social death in life.
"This... I can explain! Just now there was a..."
Feng Yi threw him to the side with enough force for Dou Jiu to stand firmly on his own, then turned around and chased the centipede.
The people in the yard looked at each other.
"Dou Jiu, what's going on?"
Dou Jiu gestured: "Such a big centipede! It looks longer than my cell phone! It just landed at my feet!"
"Uh... just a centipede, common here." someone said.
"I don't see it often! This is the first time in more than 20 years that I have seen such a big centipede!!!" Dou Jiu cried out in injustice.
At this time Feng Yi had already caught the centipede.
It was about seventeen or eighteen centimeters long, and when Feng Yi grabbed it, its two long tentacles were still waving wildly.
Dou Jiu: "Look, am I right?"
"Oh my god! I got goosebumps all over my body!"
"I want to catch some chickens and put them in our yard."
“Is the centipede a beneficial insect or a pest?”
"My grandmother said that when they were young, they caught centipedes and sold them to herbal medicine merchants. Can this one be sold?"
"Times have changed. Besides, I don't see anyone collecting it at the scenic spot."
"Is the poison strong?"
"As one of the Five Poisonous Creatures, he should be... not weak, right?"
"I'm lucky enough to see two of the Five Poisons in one day!"
Although it looked scary, it was not as threatening as the three-meter-long king cobra. Their emotions soon stabilized.
"What kind of centipede is this? Its legs are blue!" someone asked.
Feng Yi said: "Mint Blue Legs, but this little creature shouldn't be here in the scenic area. It's possible that it's on the mountain further back. It's just that the temperature and humidity in the past two days allowed it to persist a little longer. It might have been brought here by someone. This part of the scenic area is not suitable for it to survive. I'll move it to another place."
Dou Jiu: "Then let's go find the box..."
He was about to find a box to put the centipede in, but then he saw Feng Yi clasped his hands together, said "No need", held the centipede in his hands, and ran away.
Several people:!!!
Catch centipedes with bare hands!
Awesome man!!!
