Chapter 17: He immediately opened his mouth and looked up at her with his vertical pupils.

Qianqian was so angry about failing to beg for food that she collapsed into a ball, wagging her tail. When she saw Song Keling's actions, she stopped and stared at her curiously.

It has seen this human eating too many times.

It's never been like this before.

The next moment the lid above his head opened.

As expected! Qianqian was overjoyed and couldn't wait to raise her neck and head to greet it, her snow-white snake scales slightly exploding.

Snakes that know how to beg will have food to eat!

The little snake was already pretty, and the scales it raised now were not threatening or intimidating like before, but rather a reaction of joy.

With every breath, the small and delicate snake scales covering the entire body undulated slightly.

It looks like a lush white orchid swaying gently in the breeze.

But when Song Keling saw this beautiful scene, she suddenly remembered something and stopped holding the long tweezers.

Qianqian seems to have always liked her hands.

What if Qianqian doesn't eat the tenderloin and bites her fingers instead? Wouldn't that be terrible?

Because snakes only prey on living things, if it is a dead thing, like a frozen mouse, you must feed it to the snake and shake it left and right to allow the little snake to catch the movement.

Just putting it in is like a hot stone in the eyes of a snake.

To be on the safe side, Song Keling put on her gloves again.

In a short time, Qianqian had lost all patience and crawled out of the breeding box.

Half of its head poked out from the top of the box, revealing only a pair of small golden-green horn scales and a pair of scarlet vertical pupils.

This kind of sneaky "peek" posture just appeared.

The next moment, humans fed food to it.

Oh wow, Qianqian excitedly spit out the thin tongue and opened her mouth to eat.

But the food moved.

Being shaken left and right by humans, it missed its target. It could only shake its tail slightly in embarrassment, stare at the movement carefully, and then attack with lightning speed!

When the food enters the mouth, it is shocked by the snake.

Qianqian stood there motionless.

When Song Keling saw Qianqian bite the pork tenderloin accurately and missed the tweezers, she let go immediately.

But the little guy just bit it and didn't start swallowing. I couldn't help but look closer, frowning and muttering to myself: "Why, don't you like to eat it either?"

Qianqian: ...

What is this! How can it be so delicious! !

This taste is completely different from what it has eaten before!

Why do humans eat such delicious food themselves, but only feed it ugly but lively furry mice?

Is this discrimination against snakes?!

Qianqian quickly swallowed the small piece of meat, then looked up at the human, her bright red pupils questioning and begging for more - give me more! More!

Song Keling was just trying it out, so she didn't feed him a large portion.

When I saw it start to swallow, I was worried that it would spit it out halfway through because it didn't like it, but fortunately it didn't.

After eating, the little guy looked up and spit out his tongue at himself, as if to say he wanted more.

I actually like to eat cooked food.

Song Keling was surprised but also relieved. At least Qianqian was willing to eat.

Moreover, this was the first time in a long time that the little guy had eaten in front of her.

Watching it open its mouth, bite the food, and then slowly swallow it into its stomach bit by bit, she felt a subtle sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Song Keling raised her lips quietly, "More? Wait a moment."

This time Song Keling took out a small electronic scale.

She knew Qianqian's weight, so she just had to weigh out a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin of the right size, excluding the weight of the sauce, of course.

The second time she fed the baby, Song Keling kept a whole piece of tenderloin.

Scrape the sauce and rinse with mineral water two or three times.

Just like before, Qianqian bit it accurately while shaking.

The little guy seems to have very good eyesight.

Seeing its precise attack and accurate vision, Song Keling let go of the tweezers and laughed, "Qianqian is amazing."

But this time the situation was different from before. Qianqian did not eat the food immediately after biting it. Instead, she bit the meat which was thicker than her body, turned around and crawled down grunting.

After returning to the breeding box, it crawled to the rocks for shelter.

Looks like it's looking for a safe place to eat.

Qianqian hid herself and made sure that no one could see her before she began to slowly enjoy the delicious food that she had worked so hard for.

How can you stare at a snake while it eats?

Impolite humans.

From Song Keling's perspective, she could see Qianqian eating slowly.

The picky little eater finally agreed to eat, which made Song Keling feel relieved, but she was not completely relieved.

She needs to observe whether the snake's digestive tract is injured.

This can be seen from the bowel movement.

You have to wait a few days.

But before that, there is no need to worry about Qianqian starving to death.

Song Keling washed her hands and sat down to eat.

But when I picked up the lunch box to eat, the image of Qianqian crawling out of the breeding box and wrapping her body around my lunch flashed through my mind.

Although a reasonable explanation has been found.

But from a certain angle, there is still some subtle sense of disharmony.

It seems Qianqian understands human nature...

Song Keling had felt this way more than once. However, this was probably a common problem for all pet owners.

She looked at the small piece of the tail that was exposed in the shelter.

Perhaps it was enjoying the meal, the tip of its white-green tail was slowly swaying left and right, as if it was shaking its little feet.

stop.

Song Keling interrupted and ended her anthropomorphic speculation and withdrew her gaze.

Song Keling successfully fed the baby and could finally focus more on finishing the research project.

Xu Xinlei, on the other hand, was in a state of panic. She had previously updated the little snake's photo to the platform's dynamics, originally just wanting to maintain the previous popularity, but unexpectedly, the popularity suddenly exploded!

Xu Xinlei doesn’t have many fans, and with the 20,000 that increased recently, her current number is 220,000.

The up-hosts who follow each other in the list basically have the same number of fans.

But this time, many unfamiliar netizens flocked into the comment section of Xiaoshe's post, and they all tagged a big crawler up-host on the platform who has more than three million fans!

Xu Xinlei had previously said that she would ask for Song Keling, but the snake up-host she added at that time only had a few hundred thousand followers.

Although he is only a professional, he is much more professional than these laymen.

However, compared with this crawler up master, it is nothing, because this up master has obtained a double degree in this field!

The popularity exploded very late.

I paid close attention to Xu Xinlei's updates in the early stages. I would check them out two or three times a day and reply to some comments. When I found the response was mediocre, I would get busy with my group work.

But on the third day, it suddenly exploded!

There were originally only a little over a hundred replies, but after one night the number reached nearly a thousand.

She is on fire!!!

Xu Xinlei looked carefully and found that the sources were varied. Some came from other up-loaders, some were said by Weibo posters, and some were from members of the crawler group.

The comments were also polarized.

One type of comments thinks that the little white snake is extremely beautiful and is the most beautiful, cutest and most delicate snake ever seen.

The other type of comments had a different style, with the screen full of hahahahaha, saying that the picture was photoshopped too far, and that it was just a weird tailor. After making the satire, they tagged the big up-loader with 3 million followers.

Xu Xinlei spent more than half an hour browsing the comment section and found that most of the new comments questioned the authenticity of the photos, saying that she was sensationalizing the photos, and circled many traces of her photoshopping in red.

The conscience of heaven and earth.

She only added a filter, blurred out the items on Song Keling's desk, and pasted some star stickers. Other than that, she didn't change anything related to the little snake's appearance.

Zoom in on the photo.

The white scales all over its body are beautiful and neat, the pair of horn scales are also delicate and clear, the vertical pupils are red, the vertical lines are golden, and the sides are like beautifully woven golden-green lines.

There is no place for p.

Xu Xinlei was very angry when she was questioned. She quickly responded to some comments and attached the original picture without any beauty filters.

Comments containing foul language and personal attacks will be deleted and no further comments will be allowed.

Although the situation was handled appropriately, Xu Xinlei still felt somewhat uneasy.

When the previous video became popular, she shared her joy with Song Keling, but this time the photo of the little snake became popular and was questioned, and she felt very nervous.

Is this some kind of endangered first-class protected animal?

Then we can send Song Keling in and it will be over...

After explaining the attached picture, Xu Xinlei kept staring at the comment section and found that netizens were not calmed down and the heat was still rising.

More and more reptile enthusiasts come to identify (fake) them.

Xu Xinlei had never seen such a horrific scene before, and out of worry, she could only delete the post.

It’s just that things on the Internet will not disappear without a trace if they are deleted.

Some netizens followed her to other videos to make trouble, causing the comment section and barrage to become chaotic.

Xu Xinlei was worried that the snake would bring trouble to Song Keling, and she didn't know when the storm would calm down. As expected, when the heat comes, not everyone can handle it.

I was so tormented that I couldn't sleep that night. The next day, I didn't have a class with Song Keling, so I could only wait for Song Keling to come back from the laboratory in the evening.

The project that Song Keling was involved in was progressing smoothly, and she returned to the dormitory early in the evening.

Unlike the previous two days, she was holding a bunch of branches with green leaves in her hand today. Just as she was about to enter the room, she was stopped by Xu Xinlei.

Song Keling turned around and saw that her roommate seemed a little nervous. She stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Xinlei pretended to be calm, clutching the door handle with one hand. "Keling, do you know what kind of snake you saved?"

Song Keling: "I don't know. What happened?"

Xu Xinlei said vaguely: "I was thinking, snakes are all three-level, and your little snake is so beautiful, could it be a level one?"

Song Keling was silent for a moment and said, "I just rescued it. I'm not raising it, selling it, or trading it. I'll release it when I'm free."

Although she said this, Song Keling felt a sense of repulsion when she thought about releasing the animals, but she subconsciously tried not to think about it too much.

Xu Xinlei said, "But I don't know what kind of breed it is. It would be troublesome to keep it like this, right? Why don't we find out?"

Song Keling asked back, "Are you afraid?"

Xu Xinlei was struck by this. Although the "fear" she felt was not the same thing Song Keling was talking about at the moment, she still admitted, "A little bit. So, how about we ask the professor tomorrow?"

Song Keling: "No. After asking the professor, he decided it was dangerous and not allowed to be kept in the dormitory. What should I do if I confiscate it?"

Xu Xinlei was stunned by the question, but quickly said: "No, we can say it's a friend's snake..."

Song Keling still refused.

Seeing Xu Xinlei's embarrassed expression and hesitation, Song Keling tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying to her, "Don't be afraid. I'll find a way."

The topic ended with Xu Xinlei saying "Okay".

Song Keling returned to the room, turned on the light, put down the branch in her hand and went to see Qianqian in the breeding box.

She came back early today because she learned that the school was going to prune and tidy up the green plants, so she finished the task ahead of time and went around there to "pick up trash". She picked out a handful of tree crowns from the pile of branches that the garden staff had not cleaned up.

I originally wanted to make an extra climbing frame for Qianqian.

After all, the breeding box is relatively large, the space utilization rate is not high, and it looks empty.

Qianqian only has a stone to dodge with.

Now Song Keling sat down and watched the little guy sticking his head out from under the stone to look at her. She did not immediately tidy up the branches, but thought about something.

There is no doubt now that Qianqian is a highly venomous snake.

It's normal for Xu Xinlei to be worried and scared about keeping it in the dormitory.

Move out?

But renting a house outside is definitely not as convenient as a dormitory.

While she was thinking, Qianqian had already crawled out, but she was not a snake herself, but a quail egg in her mouth.

Quail eggs?!

Song Keling immediately looked to avoid it, and sure enough, there was only one left.

Qianqian's small mouth was stretched so wide by the quail eggs that there was no space at all. She struggled to move to the corner of the box and then spit it out.

With a gentle sweep of its tail, it pushes the egg towards the human.

Song Keling looked at this scene and didn't understand:?

Want to eat it, but want it cooked?

Not now.

Song Keling said, "You can't eat now. You just had a meal two days ago."

There is a limit to the amount snakes can eat. Eating too much is not conducive to digestion and activity, and will also make them feel uncomfortable.

Greedy people are like a snake swallowing an elephant.

The only consequence of a snake swallowing an elephant is that it will choke to death or die from stuffing.

After getting rid of the little snake, Song Keling picked up the tree branch, took out a pair of scissors and started pruning the branch. She first cut it to the appropriate width and height, then polished the sharper tip, retaining the bark and rough nodules on the trunk, and cleaning off the resin and residual soil.

The process looked simple, but it took more than half an hour.

Qianqian tilted her little head to look at her and pursed her lips, "Who said she wants to eat?"

I'm letting you see!

It moves, there is something moving inside this egg!!

Seeing that the human wasn't looking at her, Qianqian climbed up and down, trying to make some noise to attract her attention, but the other person just fiddled with it with a branch.

She didn't see the tree for very long in a day, but now she spent all her time on the tree!

Qianqian was extremely angry. She opened her mouth and threatened the green branch in her hand across the breeding box.

But it didn't work.

Trees are not animals and they don't feel afraid.

Finally, Qianqian turned around angrily and went back to hiding.

He remembered something again, slowly climbed down, went back to pick up the egg in the corner of the box, and then looked up at the human, but the human still didn't look at him.

snort.

It crawled back to the stone slowly and with difficulty, and placed the egg in the groove.

After trimming the branches, Song Keling looked at the breeding box. Qianqian and the quail eggs were gone. She looked at the stone hiding there and they were indeed there.

I don’t know how Qianqian got the egg back safely.

If she likes to eat quail eggs, she can go to the market to buy them. These two eggs are probably about to hatch into quail chicks in a breeding box with suitable temperature and humidity.

Song Keling opened the lid and placed the branch horizontally and firmly in the corner of the breeding box.

Put the cover back on.

Song Keling tapped the box with her fingers and said to the little snake, "Qianqian, here's a new toy. Come and crawl around and see it."

But perhaps animals are wary of new things that appear in their familiar environment.

Qianqian didn't move.

Song Keling watched for a while, but Qianqian didn't move, so she could only go take a shower first.

Song Keling came out of the shower on time. The only light in the room was a small desk lamp she had turned on before going to shower in case the dormitory had a power outage.

She quietly approached the breeding box.

The little snake, which had been curled up in the rock shelter, had now climbed onto the tree trunk where she had placed it not long ago.

Song Keling couldn't help laughing. The little white snake was hanging on the dark tree trunk. It was slender and beautiful, with its body twisted into natural lines.

Isn’t this more fun than playing on stones?

Song Keling had just thought of this when she realized something was wrong the next moment.

It is true that Qianqian climbed up the tree, but its mouth was actually tightly biting the trunk?

A closer look at the trunk revealed a bit of venom still remaining.

This scene is actually very funny, with a silly and cute feeling that makes you laugh and cry.

It's like a child picking up a cockroach from the ground and putting it in his mouth.

But when the child is your own, how can you still laugh?

Song Keling was anxious. What if this thing broke her teeth?

Go open the lid immediately.

Qianqian was frightened by the sudden noise, and immediately opened her mouth, looking up at her with vertical pupils.

The man and the snake looked at each other across the breeding box for two seconds.

Then the little snake lowered its head and crawled down the tree trunk as if nothing had happened.

Song Keling immediately went to look at the tree trunk.

The trunk was moist and the bark was a little loose. A small row of snake tooth marks could be seen on it, but there were no broken snake teeth inside.

Qianqian quickly hid back in the stone and secretly looked out from the passage.

hateful.

This human wasn't looking at it, but was actually standing around the tree looking at it!

Tomorrow, tomorrow I must bite it off!

Song Keling felt that something might happen if she put the tree in the breeding box.

Judging from Qianqian’s behavior tonight, she obviously doesn’t like the “new toy” and even feels a little repulsive.

Or should I take it out?

Song Keling always felt her heart beating inexplicably and felt uneasy. Thinking of this, she got up and went to deal with the branches.

But just as he sat up, the phone beside his pillow vibrated and the screen lit up.

It was a WeChat message from senior Su Yili, showing a link.
