Chapter 28 The Power of Cauliflower Snake

The black-browed golden snake is also known as the cauliflower snake in Sichuan Province.

Although it is a non-venomous snake, it is even called a domestic snake because it likes to eat rats.

But it is precisely because of this that this kind of snake often strays into human beings due to predators.

In addition, its temperament is relatively rough. After being disturbed, it will raise its head and neck to attack, so even a non-venomous snake can still scare people.

This kind of snake is completely harmless to Chen Li or Wang Yan as long as it is not an overly large black-browed snake.

But for Liu Qingqing, a girl who had just transferred from the county town to Erlong Town, a small rural place, it was a bit scary.

Especially this black-browed snake came out when Liu Qingqing was taking off her clothes to take a bath, which made Liu Qingqing scream immediately.

And this also makes this guy Chen Li cheaper!

Well, if we look at it by the standards of twenty years or five years from now, Chen Li has actually seen nothing.

After all, although Liu Qingqing took off her shirt, she still had a bra and a vest underneath.

After entering the 21st century, a large number of girls will even wear these two kinds of clothes when going shopping.

But in 1997, especially in a rural area like Wangjiashan, Erlong Town, Chen Li was in for a treat.

But in fact, Chen Li only glanced at it, because Liu Qingqing quickly realized something by following Chen Li's gaze, so when other students came over, Liu Qingqing was already dressed.

"A cauliflower snake!"

By this time, Chen Li had already caught the cauliflower snake that frightened Liu Qingqing. The snake was not big, weighing an estimated two kilograms. Among non-venomous snakes, it could only be considered an adult.

As for the other students who came after hearing the news, except for a few girls who were afraid of the snake, the other boys almost didn't feel much about the cauliflower snake!

"Hey Cauliflower Snake!"

"What a pity. If I had caught it earlier, I could have added another dish at night!"

"That's right! In fact, I think it's okay to make a late-night snack. Chen Li's craftsmanship is so good, I'm sure it'll be no problem to make snake meat soup!"

As a small town in the mountains, there are very few children in Erlong Town who have never seen a snake.

If it were a highly venomous snake like the five-step snake, I'm afraid everyone would still be worried, but for this non-venomous snake, everyone is already thinking about how to eat it.

"Go away~! This was caught from the toilet, are you going to eat it?"

"As long as you don't find it disgusting, I will cook it for you right now!"

Chen Li rolled his eyes. None of these guys looked at their fate. Liu Qingqing next to him was almost scared to tears!

"That's right. I caught it in the toilet. Forget it!"

"Let's go back and continue playing cards!"

"Let's go~ let's go! That hand was played to the banker just now, now it's time for us to hit 5!"

A bunch of straight men didn't even think about comforting Liu Qingqing. After confirming that it was just a cauliflower snake, they went straight back outside to continue playing upgrades.

However, a few girls are here to comfort Liu Qingqing and attack Chen Li!

"Chen Li, why is there a snake in your aunt's house?"

"That's right. There won't be any snakes coming out when we take a shower later, right?"

"Yeah. I'm a little afraid of snakes!"

"."

Several girls were chattering away, and Chen Li was so noisy that his brain almost exploded!

"No. Wait a minute!"

"It's okay for you guys to say you're afraid of snakes. Why are you joining in on the fun, Zhao Xiaoqiu?"

"I remember when you were in the third grade of junior high school, didn't you still want to catch snakes with me and sell them for money?"

"And you were able to catch venomous snakes when you were a kid. Are you afraid of a hammer snake?"

Chen Li was speechless. Even though Zhao Xiaoqiu was a bit cute, everyone familiar with her knew that this girl was definitely a serious tomboy.

When she was a child, this girl often followed him and Li Yuan to climb trees and catch birds. Now she is pretending to be weak!

"What's going on? I wasn't afraid of snakes before, but now I'm scared!"

Zhao Xiaoqiu gave Chen Li a look, but turned around and said something to Liu Qingqing.

"It's okay. Let Chen Li help you peel off the snake's skin and cramp it up later. If you don't want to get rid of your hatred, ask him to help you stew the snake!"

"That guy used to catch snakes and sell them. He did this kind of thing often!"

"Hey Zhao Xiaoqiu, please don't ruin my reputation! I've stopped catching snakes and selling them long ago!"

Chen Li was speechless. This girl Zhao Xiaoqiu really talked about everything. Although it was no secret that he caught snakes and sold them before, mentioning this to Liu Qingqing now might ruin his image in Liu Qingqing's eyes!

You know, Chen Li still plans to renew his relationship with Liu Qingqing.

"Well, I don't dare to take a shower anymore. Otherwise, which one of you should do it first!"

Seeing that the snake was caught, Liu Qingqing, who had been comforted by everyone for a while, finally recovered. Frightened by this, the girl did not dare to continue taking a bath!

"You still have to take a bath. Well, I'll ask Yanzi to get another bucket. Zhao Xiaoqiu, why don't you and Liu Qingqing take a bath together?"

"You two girls wash together, so you won't be afraid."

With the weather in June and a day's walking on the mountain road, it doesn't really matter if I don't take a shower.

If it were the "stinky" boys outside, Chen Li wouldn't bother to persuade them, but for these girls who prefer cleanliness, it would be more comfortable to take a shower.

Moreover, Chen Li knew that although Liu Qingqing was not mysophobic, she did love to be clean, so.

"Chen Li, please stay away from me!"

Liu Qingqing suddenly said to Chen Li, her tone seemed a little aggrieved.

Following Liu Qingqing's gaze, Chen Li was still holding the head of the cauliflower snake in his hand!

"Oh~!"

Chen Li put his hand back, and he also took two steps back.

"I'll ask Yanzi to carry water for you, and you girls can wash together."

"If you are still afraid, ask Yanzi to come in and help you see."

"She can catch snakes!"

After saying this, Chen Li carried the cauliflower snake and walked towards the back of the house.

Although in 1997, the black-browed snake had not yet been included in the "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals Protected by the State as Beneficial or of Important Economic and Scientific Research Value", Chen Li did not intend to do anything to this cauliflower snake.

So done.

It wasn't that he was being hypocritical, but the cauliflower snake couldn't be sold at a high price, and it didn't have much meat. In addition, it was considered a beneficial snake. So Chen Li planned to release the snake.

Of course, you have to stay far away, so that the snake doesn't get into the toilet again. It would be nonsense to scare people.

Chen Li carried the cauliflower snake and walked out for a long way before releasing the cauliflower snake. The little guy had a bad temper and even raised his neck at Chen Li when he released the snake.

However, Chen Li was too lazy to pay attention to this little guy. He took two steps back and turned around to leave.

For people who are afraid of snakes, the fear caused by this animal is endless. Some people even get goosebumps when they see a snake.

But for a guy like Chen Li, the snake had better not make him anxious, otherwise.

He wouldn't mind selling the guy to the town vendors either!
