Let alone non-toxic substances, even slightly toxic substances can be ingested by most people.
As hunters, Ye Jianguo wasn't so poor that he had to eat snakes from the fields. These snakes don't bite people or damage crops, so Ye Lin and his friends usually just played with them and then released them.
I brought them back today so that I could show them to Fu Ming and Fu Wan. Although they've grown up, the little animals we played with in our childhood are still here, and they're still here too.
Having heard this, Qin Anning and Bai Qianzhou have certainly learned something new.
Qin Anning was very bold; she even touched it a couple of times.
Seeing the little guy's frightened and uneasy appearance, Fu Wan couldn't help but persuade him, "Brother Lin, let's let it go!"
It's getting late, tell your uncle to go home!
"Okay, all done!"
Ye Lin readily agreed and released the snake from the paddy field into the field. Just as the group was about to check Ye Jianguo's location, they heard his shout from not far away.
"Little White, Little White! Come here quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianzhou immediately put down his basket and ran quickly towards Ye Jianguo.
With so many people here, Ye Jianguo only called out to Bai Qianzhou, so there's only one reason...
There are people injured!
Ye Lin immediately became serious as well. "Let's go take a look."
The group picked up their baskets and hurried toward Bai Qianzhou and his group. When they were still more than ten meters away, Fu Wan saw someone sitting on the ground with a person next to him looking anxious.
"Stone, what's going on?"
Ye Lin asked, and Shi Tou, who was standing to the side, looked up. The young man who had greeted him with a smile earlier was now pale.
"A snake! My brother was bitten by a snake!"
"What? You got bitten by a snake? A poisonous snake?"
Ye Lin immediately sensed something was wrong. Ye He was barefoot, and there was a clear tooth mark on his exposed calf.
Ye Lin was immediately furious.
"Dahe, what were you thinking, coming out to catch eels at this hour without wearing waterproof shoes?"
Sitting on the ground, Ye He's face was as white as paper, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.
"Sigh, I thought wearing rubber boots would make my feet stuffy, so I took a shortcut..."
"Heh, you're slacking off now. You should be glad it's a cobra. If it were a silver ring snake or an eye king snake, I wonder if you'd even want your life!"
Ye Jianguo was also disappointed in them. Qingshan Village relied on the mountains for its livelihood. Ye He and Shi Tou were the same age as Ye Lin and used to follow him up the mountain to hunt a lot.
He had said it countless times: wild animals are no joke. As a child from a mountain village, one must be especially careful of ferocious beasts and highly venomous creatures.
Last summer, in Xiushan Village on the other side of the mountain, a guy went out at night to catch frogs. He was brave enough not to wear high-top rubber boots.
Without noticing, he stepped on a silver-ringed snake coiled in the field.
The silver-ringed snake was startled and bit him, and that bite killed the man.
Ye Jianguo rarely rambled on, and Ye He could only grit his teeth and listen.
Actually, Ye Jianguo was saying this at this time to divert Ye He's attention.
At that moment, Bai Qianzhou pulled out a short knife that Ye Jianguo always carried, burned a few matches to disinfect the blade, and then drew a cross on Ye He's purplish-blue wound.
"ah!"
Ye He, his face pale, let out a low shout, while Shi Tou desperately squeezed the wound to draw blood, muttering incessantly.
"Just bear with it, just bear with it, everything will be fine once the poisoned blood is released."
At the same time, Bai Qianzhou quickly untied the hemp rope on the bamboo basket and tied it tightly around Ye He's calf.
At the same time, Ye Jianguo opened his water bottle and kept rinsing Ye He's wounds.
Bai Qianzhou breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Ye He's blood slowly turn red.
"The venom has been released, but cobras can also damage nerves, so we still need to get some medicine from the village doctor."
After washing the knife clean, Bai Qianzhou gave instructions to Ye He and the other man.
Ye He nodded hurriedly. He was also a tall man, over 1.8 meters tall, much taller than his younger brother Shi Tou.
This meant that Stone couldn't carry him back by himself.
Seeing this, Ye Jianguo waved to Ye Lin.
"Ah Lin, go and carry him back. Remember not to touch his injured leg."
"Xiaobai, you should go and take a look too. Take this dead snake with you and tell the village doctor about the situation so he can prepare the necessary medicine."
Ye Lin and Bai Qianzhou responded, and Ye Lin immediately took off his basket.
This attempt to catch eels ended with Ye He being bitten by a snake.
Seeing the heavy bamboo baskets in Fu Wan and the others' hands, Ye Jianguo's stern face finally softened a bit.
My own child is so obedient; he didn't forget to take precautions when he went out to catch eels.
Fu Wan and Qin Anning were also taken aback. Ye Liu had just bled quite a bit in order to release the poison.
Alas, this is an undeserved disaster.
These days, there's no snake antivenom available in remote mountain villages, and even in county towns, let alone villages, there's no antivenom available.
So if you get bitten by a snake, for minor bites, you can only bleed it out and then apply herbal medicine after the venomous blood has drained.
This only applies to snakes that inject venom into the bloodstream. For snakes like the banded krait, whose venom directly damages the nerves, being bitten means certain death.
Bloodletting is not very effective. The serum invented in later generations also requires timeliness. If time is delayed, even if the serum is administered, it is still easy to leave sequelae.
Fu Wan couldn't help but sigh. This world is not only inhabited by humans. Fortunately, most snakes are timid and will not attack unless disturbed.
Qin Anning was also frightened. Fortunately, the snake they encountered before was a non-venomous rat snake. Otherwise, if they had been bitten, it would have been terrible.
When the group returned home, the dog in the yard immediately rushed out and barked several times.
Ye Jianguo chased the dog away and then went to the kitchen to find an empty bucket.
The noise woke up Li Chunhua, who was already half asleep. She put on some clothes and got up. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Fu Ming and Fu Wan pouring eels into a bucket.
"My goodness, so many eels?"
Li Chunhua walked forward quickly in surprise, and when she saw the countless eels in the bucket, she couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on her face.
There are so many eels, they must weigh at least 20 kilograms.
At 1.5 yuan per jin, that's almost tens of yuan!
Wow, that's enough for them to use for several months!
"Hey, where did Little White go?"
Li Chunhua looked around but didn't see Bai Qianzhou.
She couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Auntie, why didn't you notice that Brother Lin isn't here either?"
"Oh, right? Where did your brother Ah Lin go?"
Reminded by Fu Ming, Li Chunhua then noticed that Ye Lin was also not there.
Fu Ming laughed heartily. It turned out that not only him, but Ye Lin also had no presence in his parents' eyes!
Not wanting Li Chunhua to worry, Fu Wan briefly told her whereabouts of Ye Lin and Bai Qianzhou.
When Li Chunhua heard that it was to send Ye He back, she found it a little strange.
When the topic turned to Ye He being bitten by a cobra, she couldn't help but start reminiscing about it.
"Oh dear, how can you go out barefoot at this time of year? Husband, you have to talk to the village chief about this tomorrow. This is no joke!"
