"Hmm." In a dimly lit room, a figure lying on the ground seemed to move and let out a low groan.
With the sound of rubbing clothes, the man barely sat up with one hand on the ground, rubbed his forehead with the other hand, and stared blankly at the surrounding environment.
This is a room of about 8 square meters. In the small space, except for the single bed and computer desk under the small window, there are cabinets similar to the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy placed against the wall.
The difference is that the drawer is much larger than the medicine cabinet, and it is made of transparent acrylic.
Inside each case is a low-wattage night light bulb that emits a dim, shimmering light.
There is a fish tank alone in the corner, I don't know what it is used for.
The man sat for a few more minutes, his pale, thin face and slightly blank eyes visible in the dim light.
A car sped past in the street outside the window, and a strong light shone through the glass on his face. , he subconsciously raised his right hand to cover his eyes, and then he seemed to remember something, staring blankly at his right hand.
"My name is Shao Zifeng, I am 19 years old, a sophomore student of Sucheng University, majoring in advertising and exhibitions"
"No, the major is nurturing."
"Today is Wednesday, February 19."
"No, today is Tuesday, February 18.."
"There's still one order that hasn't been processed, but... Didn't I get bitten by a round-spotted viper?" Shao Zifeng muttered to himself.
He stared blankly at his white right hand, his fingers were slender and slender, his skin was smooth and firm, and there were no bite marks in his memory.
Various messy memories and an inexplicable sense of alienation made him irritably scratch his messy hair.
Shao Zifeng is a student of Sucheng University. In addition to being a student, he is also a part-time owner of a treasure shop. However, the things he sells in his store are quite special, mainly some relatively niche crawling pets.
For example, in the cabinets against the wall, the upper layers are pet snakes of various species, and the lower layers are several lizards. If the customer needs, he can also help to order exotic pets such as spiders and centipedes.
In class today, he received an order. The client was introduced by someone else and asked him to secretly raise a round-spotted viper.
Speaking of the round-spotted viper, we have to say its nickname.
This thing is commonly known as the kidney deficient snake and the widow maker. If it bites, even if you are lucky, it will cause irreversible damage to the kidneys.
Of course, this is not the reason why he kept it secretly. The reason is that this snake is included in the "National Biodiversity Red List" and he dare not sell it.
Bitten the whole village to eat.
Traffickers sit in jail.
Reluctant to let go.
But in the end, he still compromised. He originally wanted to refuse, but the other party gave too much. He was just a poor student who had to rely on his hands to support himself.
After school, Shao Zifeng hurried back to the rental house and bought dinner and two-color balls as usual on the way.
Yes, since the first time he bought a scratch card under the bewitchment of his friend and won 300 yuan, Shao Zifeng has always felt that he can win the jackpot, go to the peak of life, and live a retirement life ahead of schedule.
By the way, I can buy a large room with a yard for my mother, and hire a few people to help take care of the stray pets her old man takes in.
It's a pity that reality gave him a resounding slap in the face. Even so, he would still buy a two-color ball every issue, not for anything else, but for the dream in his heart.
After returning to the rental house, Shao Zifeng picked up his notebook and got busy before dinner.
Open the drawer and carefully observe the snake inside.
This is a small milky white snake with golden yellow plaques. The smooth and slender body is densely covered with fine scales. There is an arrow-shaped pattern on the top of the head. The direction of the arrow points to the tip of the nose. The color of the upper and lower lips is lighter, and the scales on the lips Formed with scale-like patterns with different color bands, round pupils, and ruby-like eyes.
"Albino corn snake, sub-adult, the constant temperature in the box is 23 degrees Celsius."
Putting the snake back in the drawer, Shao Zifeng bit the pen cap in his mouth and recorded it in the notebook with a pen.
This is a habit he has developed since he came into contact with the crawling circle. For the pets he has raised, he will record everything from the individual breed to the development, and even the feeding time.
After recording, he would also compare the numbers and feed the snakes when it was time to eat.
The food was the guinea pig pups he bought from the Internet. Of course, it was frozen. After all, he thought he was a little caring, and he couldn't feed it with live animals.
Snakes are easy to eat. The larvae are fed twice a week, and the sub-adults are once a week. The adults are firm, and it can be used for a few days, but it can't be without feeding for a long time, because then they may use you as food .
After serving the gentlemen in the snake cabinet, Shao Zifeng came to the square fish tank in the corner.
The bottom of the fish tank is covered with a thick layer of yellow sand, and there are several rockery-like rocks and animal skeleton models randomly placed on it.
The South African armadillo lizard is dark yellow in color, with 6 large scales with obvious squamous bones juxtaposed on the back of the head, and scales with obvious squamous bones are also arranged in bands on the body and tail.
This is a very interesting lizard. When in danger, it quickly burrows into the crevices of rocks to hide.
If accidentally caught, the head and tail are curled into a ball to protect the soft abdomen.
Because of the difficulty of reproduction, the South African armadillo lizard is difficult to export as a local protected animal, so it is often sold for sky-high prices in China (a Chinese water dragon is only a few hundred dollars, while the South African armadillo lizard can easily be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. .)
This armadillo lizard was ordered from him by a previous customer. It took Shao Zifeng a long time to find it, but the last customer didn't want it.
In the end, in addition to the one thousand yuan deposit, he also lost several thousand.
Shao Zifeng looked at the South African armadillo lizard biting his tail into a ball, and couldn't help poking its rough scales with his fingers.
The South African armadillo lizard looked at Shao Zifeng nervously, his body trembling slightly.
"Little money loser, eat quickly."
Seeing this, Shao Zifeng flicked its little head lightly with his fingers and put some food beside it.
If nothing else, aside from losing some money, he quite likes this little guy.
South African Armadillo Lizard: (°ー°〃)
After finishing all this, Shao Zifeng stretched heavily, he didn't even want to eat, he fell on the bed, pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand to relieve the soreness of his eyes, and he always felt that he had forgotten when he was empty. what.
Pick up the phone and check the time.
"Oops, I forgot to ship it to someone."
"Enwan is fine for a day, right? After all, he doesn't set a time." Shao Zifeng muttered to himself, comforting himself, and fell heavily on the bed again.
After closing his eyes and taking a nap for half an hour, it was almost nine o'clock. He turned on the radio of his mobile phone and tuned to a radio channel that he often listened to. As for why he often listened to this channel, of course, it was because of the sweet and lovely anchor lady.
The winning numbers for each issue will be broadcast.
Putting the mobile phone and the lottery ticket on the table, Shao Zifeng came to the drawer where the round-spotted viper was kept amid the sweet announcement of the hostess.
Looking at the round-spotted viper huddled in a corner in the cabinet, he opened the drawer of the snake cabinet by magic.
To be precise, he didn't buy this snake from formal channels, but gave it to him when a greasy uncle who retired from the circle was handling the stock.
At that time, Shao Zifeng had just entered the circle, and he took over a lot of larvae snakes from the greasy uncle at a high price. The greasy uncle's eyes narrowed with a smile, saying that there was a surprise for him in the bottom box, which was a personal gift.
Shao Zifeng clearly remembered the fright he received when he was inquiring about information and taking notes at the same time.
"Little guy, how about finding you a new owner tomorrow."
Shao Zifeng squeezed the triangular-shaped snake head of the round-spotted viper tightly with his fingers. It was pinched with its mouth wide open, and two crystal-clear fangs protruded from the soft flesh.
The poisonous fangs seemed to flow with venom, making a hissing sound, the slender body tightly wrapped around his forearm, and the snake tail wrapped around his body, locking and strangling Shao Zifeng's arm.
Shao Zifeng was unmoved, and even looked at it with a smile, as if he was looking at the balance of his wealth treasure.
"Listener friends, unknowingly, it's time to say good night again. As usual, before saying good night, Xiaoxin will broadcast the winning numbers of the new two-color ball for everyone. The winning numbers in this issue are 03, 06, 17, 22, 25, 27, repeat 03, 06 below the last number 08"
"buzz"
Shao Zifeng felt a burst of blood rushed to his forehead, and the number announced by the anchor Xiaoxin's sweet voice echoed in his ears, which was clearly the bet he was chasing.
"Hey! Okay! I've won!" Shao Zifeng quickly ran to the table to pick up the lottery ticket. The numbers on it were the winning numbers of the current issue. Shao Zifeng, who was so excited, didn't even notice that the round-spotted viper on his right hand was early. When he let go, he bit on his tiger's mouth, and the fast-flowing blood caused the venom to rush to the heart faster.
Shao Zifeng, who was in ecstasy, was interrupted by the sudden dizziness, and when he recovered, he felt a sense of weightlessness in his mind.
Looking down at his right hand, the round-spotted viper was still biting tightly on the tiger's mouth, a pair of snake eyes without any emotion looked at him, and he could even feel the round-spotted viper still injecting into his body. venom.
I want to lift my right arm, but it weighs a thousand pounds.
After staggering a few steps, he fell heavily to the ground.
His mind became more and more blurred as if it was frozen, and he could only vaguely feel that he was holding the round-spotted viper and the winning ticket in his hands.
"I think I've won the jackpot."
"And... I was bitten by a snake..."
"The key point is that this snake is the famous kidney-deficiency snake round-spotted viper!"
"My kidney."
A new book for newcomers, I hope you can give me some advice.
