"
Seeing the tears on the youth's chin, Li Gen wiped it with his thumb, "Really, when did I lie to you, brother?"
Huang Dan said, "You lied to me when you didn't brush your teeth in the morning."
Li Gen, "… "
Huang Dan looked at the teeth marks on his calf, and he was still terrified, "Fortunately, there is a brother."
The corners of Li Gen's mouth rose, "It's good to know."
He pulled the young man away and took out a black bag from the snakeskin bag.
The countryside is not as developed as the city, and can only rely on nature. Some folk things are passed down from generation to generation, and they are left in life as knowledge.
After the group decided to go to the morning green hill, they dug up the commonly used grass in advance, not only for detoxing snakes, but also for those bitten by unknown insects. .
Li Gen didn't take it too much. He crushed the lobelia and carefully applied it to the bitten site of the young man's calf. "If it's dry, change it again, and the wound will not swell up."
Huang Dan asked, "Is the snake dead?"
Li Gen said, "Not dead."
Huang Dan said, "It bit me, it's mine."
Li Gen's face twitched, and he obeyed, "OK, OK, whatever you say is what you say."
Huang Dan's snakeskin bag is finally not empty.
With this heart-wrenching little song, Li Gen asked Huang Dan to walk next to him and try not to stay too far away. He frowned and focused his attention. If there was any trouble, he would be alert to hold people back.
Having lived for decades, Li Gen has never felt so sympathetic to anyone.
In the second half of the night, many people met and shared the harvest of this trip with each other. Huang Dan did not catch one, and there were four snakeskin bags, all of which were caught by Li Gen.
Others were surprised when they learned the number of yellow slips, and some people said sourly, "You are not bad in winter, you have also caught four, and I only caught one. Tell us, where are they all caught? "
Huang Dan said he caught two in the crevices of the rocks, one in the grass, and one by the water.
Everyone is envious. They are lucky. They searched all over the mountains and fields, and their legs were almost useless. Their jackets were also scratched by branches in many places. Look at this man, except for the mud and grass clippings on his shoes, the rest of the ground is very clean, and he has caught quite a few snakes.
Huang Dan was stared at by more than a dozen gazes, and he glanced at the man who was leaning against the tree smoking a cigarette.
Li Gen flicked the soot and asked with his eyes.
Huang Dan walked over, "My mother pointed at me to catch the snake and sell it, and saved the money to marry me next year."
Li Gen squinted his eyes, "Missing a woman?"
Huang Dan shook his head, "No."
Li Gen smoked in silence, he suddenly started to pull the snakeskin bag of Huang Dan, and the cigarette flickered when he spoke, "Give me back all the snakes in it."
Huang Dan, "… "
Li Gen lowered his voice, with a tobacco-flavored breath on the young man's face, "Sell the snake your brother caught for you to ask for money for your wife, Zhang Dongdong, you do this, it will make your brother feel cold."
Huang Dan's mouth twitched, "I said it all, not what I meant."
Under the night, Li Gen's eyes hidden in the smoke were deep and complicated, "Then do you want a wife?"
Huang Dan said, "No."
Li Gen's breath stopped, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He put his arm on the young man's shoulder and took the person into his arms, "Take a break, brother, I'll grab you two more."
Huang Dan said, "Four items are enough."
Li Gen rolled his eyes, "When others ask for it, are you stupid, and it's too much to give for nothing?"
Huang Dan pursed his lips, "The terrain in the mountains is not easy to walk, and it is very dangerous. If you encounter a snake, it will be troublesome."
Li Gen's heart skipped a beat, and he used a joke to cover up his emotions, "Oh, are you worried about your brother? Don't worry, even if it's a snake, your brother will be fine."
Huang Dan frowned, "You can't be too greedy."
Li Gen looked at the dark eyes of the young man, as if he could see his soul, and laughed out loud, "Okay, listen to you, we won't catch him."
Almost all Zaoqingshan are free of snakes, which does not mean that there are no snakes.
At dawn, the big guy took advantage of this time to catch another wave of snakes, and an accident happened. One person accidentally let go of the snake while catching the snake and was bitten instead.
It was the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.
A few other people in the same group rubbed the prepared horse chestnut and other herbs in time and applied it to the wound of the person, and even used the method of the older generation to pull out a small strand of the long hair cut by the family's daughter-in-law. , and tightened a circle on the man's bitten arm to prevent Dusu from channeling.
The man was sent to a nearby hospital as quickly as possible, and his life was saved, but he still couldn't save the arm, and it happened to be the right one.
