Chapter 24 Weird little macaque

The long snake is dead.

Han Xiaokang sat in the thatch to rest for the time being.

Ah Ju seems to be particularly afraid of the sun. Fortunately, it is a cloudy day today and there is no sun.

I saw her tying the curtain to the edge of the bamboo hat, coming over and pulling the hoe handle, and pulled out the long dead snake.

Until then.

Only then did Han Xiaokang bother to take a closer look at the snake whose head he had shoveled off with his hoe.

It turned out to be a king snake.

This snake is non-venomous.

But he is known to be fierce and aggressive.

Moreover, its movements are extremely sensitive and it swims extremely fast.

Generally, when the King Elephant Snake is still a young snake, people in Bayu and QXN areas habitually call the Black-browed King Elephant Snake cauliflower snake.

When this kind of snake reaches adulthood, the largest one can grow to nearly 20 pounds.

If a king snake really grows to this size, it should be called a python.

Such a thick python is so frighteningly powerful that it cannot be dealt with with bare hands.

If you shoot, the snake skin will be damaged and you won't be able to sell it at a good price.

Instead, you have to put in a few bullets for free.

Han Xiaokang sat there, chatting with the martial arts people who came over, but the thin and frail girl Aju was actually quite courageous.

Aju grabbed the soft king snake, then took out the hatchet from the basket on his back, squatted on the spot and peeled off the snake's skin.

The Aju in front of her was very knowledgeable. She knew that when peeling the snake, she had to be careful not to break the snake's skin and gallbladder.

Because supply and marketing cooperative purchasing stations sometimes also collect snake skins.

And snake gall can be sold to private brewers.

As for the snake meat, it is left for everyone to eat.

This time, no one knows how many days it will take to catch snakes in the mountains and back and forth.

Han Xiaokang didn't bring much food. It was more like the martial arts people were here to cope with the task. What they brought out was only a little bit of food, and the other things were salt, chili powder and other things.

As for Miss Aju, she is more like a person who fled in a hurry and ran away from home.

There was nothing at all in her backpack.

In the coming time, if you want to eat vegetables and meat, you can only find it in the mountains.

Running around in the vast mountains is very exhausting.

If you plan to stay for a few days or nights, you have to find a way to get some meat from the mountains as a source of protein.

no way.

Everyone in the production team was short of oil, water, and meat, so it was impossible for anyone to come out with bacon or anything.

Now that we have caught such a non-venomous snake, we can just add some meat to everyone's diet.

Aju was peeling and roasting meat on the spot. Han Xiaokang and the Wuju people were not worried that there would be too much danger here.

Because everyone in the mountains knows a truth: if there is Wang Jin in one place, there will be no poisonous snakes in ten miles.

That is to say,

As long as there is a place for the king snake to stay, there is no need to worry about other venomous snakes nearby.

This also proves the aggressiveness of this snake from the side: the king snake is so strong that other venomous snakes avoid it and dare not approach it.

As long as there are no poisonous snakes quietly plotting against you, there is nothing to worry about.

As for if there are other beasts coming out, the little macaque will give a warning in advance due to its nature.

What's more, there are two little puppies, Dahu and Erhu, standing guard nearby.

When Ah Ju tore open the snake skin completely, a white snake body was revealed.

Find an open space.

Gather up a handful of hay, cover it with small dead branches, and then find some larger dry firewood and put it aside for later use.

Then he took out the small bamboo tube containing tinder from the backpack and opened it.

This kind of tinder is made of hard arrow bamboo, with a smoldering papyrus roll stuffed inside.

After opening the lid,

Blow a few breaths into the bamboo tube, and the grass inside, which is in a smoldering state due to lack of oxygen, will curl up and slowly emit an open flame.

Although using this kind of fire torch is troublesome, it can save precious matches.

During this period, people still used to call matches "matches".

Although it only costs 3 cents a box in the agency store, the commune members in rural areas are still reluctant to use more.

I saw Aju quickly lighting up the dead grass and igniting the dead branches above.

Wait until the fire gets a little stronger, then add larger pieces of wood.

Until the smoke dissipates.

Aju then put the snake meat threaded with wooden sticks on the fire and roasted it over and over.

Snake meat is white meat.

After it is peeled, gutted and gutted, there will be no blood stains on it, so there is no need to clean it.

Moreover, the water source is at the foot of the mountain, so Ah Ju doesn't have to put in the effort and can just start grilling meat.

When the snake meat is almost cooked, sprinkle some of the homemade chili powder and salt on top.

After waiting for a while, you can enjoy the delicious roasted snake meat.

Aju is in charge of the barbecue.

The martial arts examiner asked Han Xiaokang, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Han Xiaokang nodded, "I practiced for several years when I was a kid."

The martial artist smiled and said: "No wonder! Just now I saw that your lower body was calm and steady, and your shots were very precise. You were almost catching up with me, hahaha!"

You are calm in times of crisis and respond appropriately. Han Xiaokang, you are such a good boy!"

Now that the conversation has started, Han Xiaokang also asked Wu Juren, "Uncle Wu, why do they all call you Uncle Juren?"

The martial arts examiner's face turned red, "Ahem, cough, cough, pigtails are no longer there, how can there be any examination candidates?! Folks are all joking, they can't count, and this can't be counted."

obviously,

The martial artist in front of me is a man with a story.

It's just that he didn't want to mention the sad past, so Han Xiaokang stopped talking and waited quietly for Aju to roast the snake meat.

At this moment!

"Uh, uh——"

The two tigers let out a low roar, indicating that a wild beast was not far away from here.

The big tiger, which had the aura of a dog king, silently burrowed into the grass, as if it was planning to outflank the approaching beast.

"Zhizhi——"

"squeak--"

There were bursts of screams coming from behind, with a little bit of milky milky smell.

Han Xiaokang turned around and saw the little macaque jumping on a tree less than 3 meters away from him.

I saw the little macaque with a weird expression on the treetops, squeaking in his direction!

Calling in vain.

Although monkeys are close relatives of humans, after all, everyone does not understand monkey language, so we really can’t figure out what the little macaque’s behavior means.

The snake meat is already roasted at this time.

The unique and alluring aroma of barbecue wafted all over the hillside, making people salivate.

Ignore the little macaque.

The military officer took out a bamboo tube filled with chili powder and salt, handed it to Aju, and asked her to sprinkle some condiments on the snake meat.

The seasonings are put in.
