Sprinkle some medicinal powder and blow a bamboo whistle.

Not only can it lure snakes out of their holes, but it can also attract snakes to people.

Chen Ling admired such ability.

Moreover, the fire chain snake crawled in front of Wang Cunye. After being caught by Wang Cunye, it did not do anything drastic. It just curled up slowly and coiled itself into a ball.

"Before the light snow, after the beginning of winter, this is the time when the worms are most fertile..."

Wang Cunye held the snake in his arms and touched it. Seeing his son-in-law's surprised look, he immediately smiled and said, "I'll teach you later, and you can try it too."

"Ah? I can do this too?"

Chen Ling asked strangely: "Dad, didn't you say that snake-attracting medicine is passed down from male to female?"

Wang Susu didn't know how to prepare the snake-attracting medicine. How could his son-in-law rush to get it? When he came, he just wanted to check out the novelty.

Hearing what he said, Wang Cunye didn't know what he was thinking, and it was quite funny: "It's a matter of the old generation to pass on male rather than female. How can we still pay attention to this now? Besides, this thing is not valuable, and people nowadays don't

Rare about this."

"Your eldest brother and second brother, I taught them, but they didn't learn."

Having said this, he glanced at Chen Ling and said, "I have never taught Susu. The girl is from a family. Your mother and I have never thought of letting her do this."

Chen Ling suddenly became ashamed.

"If you want to learn it, I'll give you the recipe when I go back, and you can go home and mix it yourself."

Wang Cunye held the fire chain snake in one hand and stroked it gently with the other: "However, this snake-attracting powder cannot be used frequently, otherwise if the snake catches too many snakes and angers the Snake Lady, retribution will result."

"Like in the past, when we were collecting herbs, we would catch a few snakes. Some herbs were close to insect nests, which were full of poisonous insects. With the snake-attracting powder, I felt more at ease."

The father-in-law whispered.

While walking, he explained to Chen Ling.

Spreading the snake attractant can attract all snakes within a range of about ten meters.

Not only can it attract snakes, but it can also make them tame and docile.

Some snakes with bad tempers and strong aggression will not bite even if they are caught in the hand.

Therefore, it is also called "Lock Snake".

It can be said to be very magical.

But in view of this, it is too easy to catch snakes. In the past, drug farmers in other villages caught too many snakes and suffered retaliation from the snakes.

I heard from my father-in-law that hundreds of venomous snakes came through the door at that time, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.

Afterwards, it was widely rumored that too many snakes were caught, which angered the snake queen in the mountains.

Chen Ling naturally didn't believe this statement.

But everything goes too far. Whether they are hunters hunting or farmers gathering herbs and catching snakes, they each abide by their own rules.

This is the wisdom of surviving in the mountains.

The sun is rising higher and higher.

The weather has been good in the past few days. Walking on the mountains and through the forest, the warm sunshine of early winter shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves. When the breeze blows, the sound of the leaves matches the sound of the gurgling stream, which is sweet and ethereal.

Wang Cunye has bad legs and feet and walks relatively slowly, but he often walks in the mountains and his endurance is quite good. The average half-grown boy cannot compare with it.

At this time, he found traces of snakes again, and asked Chen Ling and the two children to stop and stop walking around. He walked back and forth along the forest path alone, looking for confirmation on both sides.

"This is it."

After two or three minutes, Wang Cunye turned around and walked to Chen Ling: "Come on, open your hands."

When Chen Ling opened his palm, he poured the snake-attracting powder from the gourd into the palm of Chen Ling's palm.

Then he taught Chen Ling how to sprinkle snake attracting powder along the snake's trail.

"Look back once you take three steps, wave your hand once you take five steps, don't scatter snake-attracting powder randomly, and pay attention to where you step and behind you..."

The father-in-law warned.

There is nothing mysterious about this.

It just makes people pay attention to the wind direction and current, as well as the poisonous insects hidden in the trees under their feet.

If the wind is in the wrong direction or near water flow, the powder may become ineffective and snakes cannot be attracted. Poisonous insects on trees and underfoot can sometimes be fatal.

There are also some details about spraying the powder, which are the most critical.

Chen Ling followed suit.

After sprinkling the medicinal powder, I returned to the original place and blew the bamboo whistle again as my father-in-law taught me.

The mountain breeze blew slowly, and the faint bamboo whistle lasted for less than two minutes. Snakes of all sizes crawled over from the grass, tree holes, and cracks in the rocks. Some big snakes were more than one meter long and nearly two meters long.

Some small snakes are only as thick as a thumb, some are venomous and some are non-venomous.

At first, they were quite docile as they crawled over one after another.

But after a yellow-and-black-striped grass-headed snake appeared, many small snakes shunned and tried to escape. Only a few white snakes with black stripes were suddenly greatly stimulated and tangled and struggled with the thick grass-headed snake.

Xiao Tongtong next to Chen Ling could not take his eyes off him.

Wang Zhenzhen raised his head very proudly and said, "Dad, let me just say that my brother-in-law is awesome. Look, he can attract so many snakes at once, and he can also make snakes fight."

Wang Cunye couldn't laugh or cry immediately, thinking you thought you were doing acrobatics.

I don't know what to say either.

Only Chen Ling realized something was wrong, because the snakes were fighting, and none of them came towards him, so he took off the bamboo whistle and asked, "Dad, am I not doing it right?"

"Well, you didn't blow the whistle well."

Wang Cunye nodded, then pointed to a few snakes that were fighting in a group and said: "The other grass-headed snakes are coming, they are afraid. There are only a few white snakes, it is probably the time for breeding. At this time, they have a bad temper and are easy to follow.

Other longworms fought with each other, but they didn't scare away grass-headed snakes when they encountered them."

The white-flowered snake is a bungara snake. This kind of snake has a relatively late estrus period and only mates in late autumn and early winter. It will lay eggs in the following summer. It is irritable during the estrus period. It is relatively normal for it to fight with a ferocious and domineering grass-headed snake.

Grass-headed snakes are also known as king snakes. There are generally no venomous snakes in places where this kind of snake lives, and there are very few other small snakes, so they will be eaten by grass-headed snakes.

But there are no absolutes in this world.

During this season, various types of snakes begin to hibernate one after another, eating less and becoming less vigilant.

Otherwise, if you smell the scent of a grass-headed snake, you will stay away.

As the saying goes: Wherever there is grass, there are no poisonous snakes in ten miles.

That's the power of grass-headed snakes.

While talking to Chen Ling, the father-in-law used a snake hook to separate the fighting snakes, then picked out two male white snakes, caught them in his hand, and handed them to Chen Ling.

"You see, with the snake-attracting drug, no matter what kind of insect is growing, it will be honest once you catch it."

Chen Ling grabbed one in his hand and squeezed the snake's head tightly, not daring to be careless. This was a bungara snake, and the two little guys were still following it. It would be bad if it bit it.

However, the snake attractant is indeed very miraculous. This white snake, which is just over one meter tall, was fighting angrily with the grass-headed snake before, but now it is quiet and can't feel the struggle at all.

"How about it?"

Wang Cunye asked with a smile.

"Well, it is indeed very stable in the hand and does not move erratically."

Chen Ling said, looking at the one on his father-in-law's hand, he was also very obedient.

I thought it was no wonder that this snake attractant was not allowed to be abused.

The effect is too strong and sometimes it is not good.

"Haha, let's just catch these two. If there are a few left, we will be able to give birth to little long worms next year."

Wang Cunye looked at the sun in the sky: "It's almost noon, we should go back to eat."

Then use the snake hook to fly away the grass-headed snake that has not crawled far on the ground.

Without the grass-headed snake, other snakes will no longer fight.

However, the effect of the snake-attracting powder is still there, and they are still lingering nearby.

In this regard, Wang Cunye said: "Don't worry about this. After half an hour the herbs are no longer useful, they will leave."

Walking back.

Chen Ling held his little nephew in his arms.

Play with him and ask him questions.

Xiao Tongtong is also very well-behaved. After getting to know him, he would tell stories to his grandfather and uncle angrily. Then he would ride on Chen Ling's neck, turning his hair with his little hands to find white hair for him. Wang Qingwen had a lot of white hair, so he thought Chen Ling

There were some, but I couldn't find them for a long time.

"Why doesn't uncle have gray hair?"

Xiao Tongtong asked very strangely: "Dad, my second uncle all has white hair. Every time he washes his hair, he asks me to pluck them out..."
