When Shitou saw Xia Yuanhao like this, he knew that he and Xia Yuanqiu had a very good relationship, and he was very envious. He also had several brothers and sisters from the same mother, but everyone was very selfish and no one was willing to help anyone. Well, no one can see that other brothers are living better than themselves, and even the old mother is unwilling to support them. You push me, and I push you.
He came out this time to earn some money for medical treatment for his sick old mother. The other brothers, although they had money on hand but said they had no money, refused to use the money to treat their mother.
His mother had been living with him, and the little money he earned from looking after shops in the city had long ago been used to supplement his mother's expenses, leaving him with no wife at all.
He felt distressed too, but what could he do? They don't care, he can't ignore them. His mother gave birth to them and raised them, and her kindness is as deep as the ocean. If the children are unfilial when their parents are old, he will never do such unscrupulous things.
Yuan Hao asked: "Brother Shitou, is this sand scorpion easy to catch?"
Shitou shook his head: "I haven't caught one either. I came out with Dabao this time just to learn how to catch sand scorpions."
Dabao said: "It's very easy to catch sand scorpions, but you have to be careful not to let them bite you. Otherwise, no matter how many sand scorpions you catch, the money you sell them won't be worth the detoxifying medicine." The fee is not worth it!”
Yuan Hao smiled and said, "Look at the amount of sand scorpions you sold yesterday. You must be very skilled at catching sand scorpions, right?"
Dabao also laughed: "Normal sand scorpions can't bite me, as long as I don't meet the Scorpion King."
Yuan Hao asked curiously: "There is also a Scorpion King among these sand scorpions? What kind of Scorpion King is he?"
Dabao said: "The Scorpion King is bigger than the ordinary sand scorpions and more poisonous. If you are bitten by the Scorpion King, it will be useless even if you have dried sand scorpions. You can only wait to die in this vast sandy area."
When Shitou heard this, his expression changed several times.
Dabao smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of stones. This Scorpion King is not easy to encounter. I have caught so many sand scorpions and only met the Scorpion King once. The Scorpion King is probably old, but he didn't Instead of biting me, I caught it, made it into a dried scorpion king, and sold it for a good price."
Xia Yuanqiu heard from behind that Dabao said that he had sold the Sand Scorpion King. He felt it was a pity and couldn't help but said: "Dabao, you really shouldn't have sold the Sand Scorpion King."
Dabao was puzzled and asked: "Why? The Sand Scorpion King is several times more expensive than the ordinary Sand Scorpion."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "If one day you are bitten by the Sand Scorpion King, you will know that you lost your life just for the small profit. Since ordinary sand scorpions can control scorpion venom, then the Sand Scorpion King can control The poison of the Sand Scorpion King’s bite.”
When Shitou heard this, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, why didn't you think of it at the time? It's a pity that it has been sold now, otherwise it would be great to keep it with you for self-defense."
But Dabao shook his head: "I also thought about it, but my family was really short of money at that time, so I couldn't sell it."
Seeing this, Xia Yuanqiu quickly comforted him: "It doesn't matter, maybe you are lucky this time and you run into an old, weak and dying Sand Scorpion King again?"
The little sadness that had just risen in Dabao's heart was immediately amused by Xia Yuanqiu's funny words. Everyone laughed for a while, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.
At noon, everyone got off their horses to rest and eat some dry food and water to replenish their strength.
Before I finished eating the dry food, I saw the scorching sun in the sky suddenly obscured by dark clouds, the wind was surging, and the sky was filled with dust.
