After Feng Yi located the position of the "little koi", he did not wait there, but let Xiao Jia drive towards that direction.
Not long after, he discovered that the target had stopped for some reason. He thought that the target was just stopping temporarily and would set off again after a short rest, but he didn't expect that to be the case.
Is the buyer out there
Regardless of the truth, Feng Yi determined the approximate location and went directly there with Xiao Jia.
A small county town at the junction of two provinces.
A private clinic.
It's a small clinic with only one floor.
"Bacterial infections?!"
The driver was filled with astonishment.
He took his companion to a nearby small clinic and asked the doctor there to take a look first.
The reason given for the injury was that they went out to play nearby, and one of their companions was bitten by something, after which he suddenly developed a fever and became unconscious, with his hands swollen like pig's trotters.
Before coming, he made some minor modifications to the wound of his accomplice, making it even less likely that it was a bite from a small python.
The wound was obviously inflamed and too conspicuous, so it had to be modified for safety reasons.
The doctor did not doubt what he said, at most he just thought that the way they treated the wound was wrong.
The doctor in the clinic said a lot, but the driver didn't understand a lot of it. However, he understood the key sentence.
He originally thought it was some unknown snake venom, but the doctor at the clinic told him that it might be a bacterial infection?!
But I hope it’s not snake venom.
Bacterial infection, such a simple thing, so common.
"So, is this definitely caused by... the wound on his hand?"
"It's possible. There may be some other poison. Our clinic's capacity is limited. I suggest you take him to a large hospital for a detailed examination," said the doctor.
The driver listened to the doctor's words and thought that this doctor was not very reliable. As for the big hospital, it was impossible to go there.
No matter what he thought in his heart, he still looked embarrassed, "Alas, I don't know what kind of insect bit me."
"There are more mosquitoes in this season. A simple bite may not be a big deal and is not that serious. But if it comes into contact with something dirty, you will still suffer," said the doctor.
The doctor at the clinic disinfected and cleaned the wound of the unconscious man and gave him some antibiotics. He wanted to give the patient an IV, but the driver refused and said he would take him to the hospital.
Infusion takes so much time!
The clinic doctor had no idea what the driver was thinking. He saw that the patient was still unconscious and his temperature had not dropped much.
"Then take him to the hospital immediately!" The doctor didn't dare to keep the man in the clinic any longer. What if something really happened
The driver quickly brought his accomplice back to the car.
They would not go to the hospital, and they even dared not let this accomplice contact others alone. If he got lost and said something he shouldn't have, their situation would be even more dangerous.
I found a pharmacy that didn't require an ID card, bought some antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and simple supplies, and then found a short-term rental in an inconspicuous area.
The ID card check here is not as strict as in hotels. Even if you need to register, you can get it done with a fake ID.
The rental house is not large, with a bedroom with a bathroom and a small dining room.
The partner who took the medicine did not get significantly better, but his condition did not get any worse either, and he still looked the same.
The only difference was that the hand that was bitten was even more swollen.
The driver looked at the little python in the box and couldn't tell whether it was in good or bad condition, but at least it was still alive.
Carefully set the python box aside.
He pondered what to do next.
There's a change of plan, so he has to deliver the goods quickly, otherwise if anything goes wrong he won't get a penny!
Fortunately, snakes do not need to be fed frequently.
They didn't prepare any food for the snakes. I heard that the zoo feeds these little snakes with suckling mice. How troublesome!
Originally according to their estimate, if everything went well, they would be able to deliver the goods to the buyer within 24 hours, and there would be no need to feed them any food as snakes are quite resistant to hunger.
"Little Koi" is very famous. There is an account in the reptile house of the zoo that often posts updates related to "Little Koi", such as when it was fed, what it ate, and when the snake nest was cleaned.
All in all, the little python shouldn't be hungry now.
What he was worried about was that the snake would not be able to adapt to the local climate.
The conditions in the zoo are so good, but artificially fed snakes like this one have delicate constitutions, and this one was not in good health when it was born. What if it gets sick over time
He doesn't know how to take care of a snake!
After careful consideration, he called his employer.
"We encountered a small accident that we haven't been able to resolve, so the car can't move for the time being. We can't arrive at the place you mentioned as expected, and I don't dare to keep the goods in my hands. I hope to change the transaction location and deliver the goods directly here." He didn't tell the other party that someone here was sick.
The person on the phone paused for a moment, then took a deep breath as if to suppress his emotions:
"Is the snake still alive?"
"Alive, alive! How about you turn on the video? Or I can take a photo and send it to you?" said the driver.
This could easily lead to information leakage, so he did not want to verify it in this way unless necessary.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, the man said in a gloomy tone, "No need, I'll send someone to get it right away! Remember, I want a live snake, alive! If anything goes wrong, I won't give you a cent!"
"I know! When your people arrive in the county, call me and I will tell you the specific delivery location as soon as possible. If you delay for a few more hours, I can't guarantee that the little snake will still be alive. Also, I only want cash, I don't accept transfers!" the driver emphasized.
“Wait!”
The call was hung up.
Looking out the window, it's getting dark.
The driver went to see his accomplice lying down again. His fever still hadn't subsided. There was no worry in his eyes, but a strong sense of disgust.
If he wasn't worried that throwing the person outside would cause more unnecessary trouble and time was limited, he would have wanted to throw the person directly into the mountains to feed the wild beasts!
So annoying!
It's just a stupid thing!
The snake was well placed in the box, but you insisted on taking it out to play with it!
It’s a big mistake for me!
You deserve it!
Don’t take any of the reward this time!
After eating something casually, the driver decided to take a rest first to ensure that he had enough energy to deal with the next things.
It's still early and it's a bit noisy outside.
Mimihuhu slept for a while and then heard the sound of a mouse running outside.
There was a squeaking sound, and I couldn't tell if they were flirting or a gang fight, it was quite intense. There was also the sound of debris being overturned and the surrounding residents shouting and cursing.
After a while, the mice stopped chirping.
oh.
A cat is meowing.
The wild cat came over to look for food following the scent.
This is definitely not a good place, but everything is temporary.
He thought that he would have money soon.
He has already figured out how to use the money.
I fell asleep in a daze.
The dream was full of decadence and extravagance.
Until the sweet dream was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
The person who received the goods has arrived.
The driver was instantly alert.
It seems that the employer does not trust them and has arranged people along the way to deal with emergencies at any time.
If it was really at the border, it would be impossible for it to get here so quickly.
They made an appointment with the person who was going to receive the goods at a nearby night market, where there was a lot of people coming and going, so it would not be easy for them to attract attention if they went there.
He did not directly report the specific address of the residence. He would decide which plan to follow after meeting the consignee.
The driver didn't bring the little python with him when he went out, and he didn't dare to go and deliver the goods by himself, as he was afraid that he would die before getting the money.
I originally planned to hide the box containing the python in the bedroom, but after giving it some thought, I changed the location.
It is difficult to guarantee that no one sneaks in during the time you are away.
The space here is not big and a bit messy.
Especially in the restaurant, there was household garbage left by the previous tenant, and cardboard boxes and empty bottles were piled up in one corner.
He put the box containing the python in the cupboard. The python remained in the box without moving or making any sound.
Against the backdrop of a pile of household garbage, the small box was inconspicuous.
He also brought in a T-shirt that he had washed outside the window, moved the clothesline indoors, and hung the clothes in the dining room.
The clothes drying rack was right in front of the pile of household garbage.
Because the indoor area is not large, this kind of clothes rack can only be placed in the dining room if not the bedroom, and many tenants place it this way.
This way, people who enter the house won’t look through the cupboards first.
Before going out, lock the bedroom windows, and don't worry about the bathroom since it has no windows.
The restaurant has a long and narrow window, a sliding window that prevents people from entering. It can be opened halfway for ventilation, and there is a mosquito screen, so there is no need to worry about insects entering.
There is a patient in the room, and he must have a window for ventilation. We can't let him be without one now.
He checked the room and turned off the light. When he left, he made a small mark on the door lock.
When he left, the room was dark.
In the quiet house, the only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of the patient in the bedroom.
After a while.
A furry paw pushed aside the screen on the dining room window.
This skillful claw technique shows that he is a repeat offender.
Wild cats are common in this area.
Last year, someone tried to take care of it, but later they found there were too many rats, so they just left it alone.
Then these wild cats reproduced rapidly, and solved a lot of rats, but at the same time, they also caused some troubles to the residents here.
For example, some cunning wild cats will break into houses and steal!
The wild cat that came in didn't look strong, but it was extremely agile and made very little noise with each jump. It was an excellent night hunter.
There was a smell of food on the table.
However, the wild cat just sniffed and looked away without interest.
It came here following the smell.
A delicious scent attracted it as it passed by the window.
The triangular nose quickly captures the smell in the air, and the upper lip is slightly raised. The cat's split lip sniffing reaction allows the vomeronasal organ to play a role.
where is it
The wild cat sniffed around, and soon, the beast boy in the dark night looked at a box on the cupboard with a faint glow of excitement.
The little python in the box sensed the danger outside and opened its mouth. This was a warning and a threat.
However, given its current size, it is difficult for it to pose much threat to adult wild cats.
Not to mention that the wild cat can’t see it now because of the box. Even if it can see it, the wild cat won’t be afraid.
The wild cat scratched the box with its claws and bit the lid with its teeth.
The little python bit the wild cat several times, but was blocked by the box and only hit the box.
The wild cat stopped, moved its whiskers, and then bit the lid of the box.
He got tired of biting the box, so he poked it with his claws and pushed it with his body, and successfully pushed the box off the cabinet.
Bang!
The lid is open.
The little python inside crawled out and quickly hid in the pile of debris next to it.
When the driver came back, he first checked the door lock and found that no one had touched it.
When I walked in and turned on the light, I saw the box containing the python lying on the ground with the lid open.
A wild cat was squatting there.
The driver was so frightened that his hair almost stood on end and he rushed over to drive away the wild cat.
The wild cat fled from the window in panic.
The two people who followed him into the house frowned when they saw the shabby living environment.
"Where's the snake?" someone asked.
The driver picked up the empty box on the ground, his face pale: “It was inside before.”
The expressions of the two men changed suddenly.
"What do you mean?!"
Thinking of the wild cat they had just found in the house, they both felt uneasy.
It won’t be eaten, right
The driver forced himself to calm down, he knew that if the snake was gone, he would end up in trouble.
"Wait! The wild cat was squatting here just now, which means the snake was not eaten!"
As the driver spoke, he knelt down to turn over the piled-up garbage and roughly pushed the debris to the sides.
Sure enough, I soon saw a section of the snake hidden inside.
"Here it is!"
The two men pushed the driver aside.
Seeing the little snake drilled in again, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It is active and alive.
Compared to the driver's rude behavior just now, the people searching this time were much more careful, fearing that they might accidentally hurt the little python. After all, this was related to how much reward they could get.
One person went to catch the snake, and the other took out a new box to put the snake in.
The driver stood aside, his eyes following the other black bag. Inside was his reward!
Swallowing, the driver forced himself to look away and calm down.
Then, I saw a wild cat wandering not far from the window.
He walked to the window and tried to drive him away or scare him.
However, the wild cat not only did not leave, but also squatted down and stared at this side.
That posture was full of rogue temperament.
Raising his eyes slightly, the driver discovered that there were several wild cats squatting nearby!
"There are so many cats squatting outside. Why are they all staring here? Do they smell the snake?"
Wild cats in this area eat everything, from moths and grasshoppers to small birds and snakes. Maybe they really have their eyes on the snake in the house.
Are captive-fed snakes extra delicious
He didn't know if that was the case, but the wild cats outside had to be driven away.
"It's too easy to attract attention. How can we drive away the stray cats wandering outside without alerting others?" said the driver.
I saw one of them took something out of a black backpack, held the thing, quickly walked to the window, opened the window, and raised his arm to look outside.
Is it that you took...
The driver's heart was pounding and he even breathed carefully.
Take a step back quietly.
Then, as the man at the window moved, the driver saw the object in his hand.
An infrared temperature gun.
In other words, a handheld thermometer.
With laser dot for aiming.
driver:"… "
Outside the window, the wild cat that was waiting was instantly attracted by the moving red dot, and ran after the red dot to the house across the street.
The driver looked away.
Inside the house, someone rummaging through the junk finally found the little python.
The driver warned: "This snake is very fierce! Don't get bitten!"
The man sneered, obviously looking down on the driver's words.
What would happen even if this little python bites me
Less than half a minute later, just as he put the snake into the box, his finger was bitten.
The driver's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Keeping his facial expression steady, the driver urged, "Okay, I'll hand over the goods to you. After you inspect them, what should I get?"
Someone threw a black bag in front of him.
"Take inventory?"
"No. The money and goods are settled, and we're done!"
The driver opened it, took a quick look at the money inside, picked up the bag and ran out.
The two men who got the snake had no intention of staying here.
But before leaving, they saw the patient in the bedroom.
A mocking smile.
It is not uncommon to settle matters with partners in order to get a larger share of the remuneration.
They didn't care much, as their mission was to get the little python. As long as they were not involved, they would not pay any extra attention.
After closing the door, they quickly left and exchanged the snake for a reward.
When leaving the house, the man who was bitten by the python felt a burning pain in his fingers, and his vision became blurred for a moment.
Shaking his head, he looked ahead again.
Ignore the burning pain, as for the blurry vision, it's probably because I didn't get enough rest. I was suddenly notified to come here to receive the goods, so I was a little hurried.
Outside the house, the driver, carrying a bag, ran towards the parking space.
Excited! Thrilled!
All this money is mine!
As for the person lying in the rental house and the other person who was bitten just now, who cares!
There are no spaces around and the parking space is a little far away.
He opened the car door, threw the black bag onto the passenger seat, got in, closed the door and prepared to leave.
Peng!
A hand grabbed the car door that was about to close.
The driver looked out.
Through the car window, he saw a pointed chin.
