Chapter 16 Want to eat! Look down on snakes? ?
The result was that Qianqian didn't get what she wanted in the end.
It's late at night and the lights are off.
The dormitory was quiet, except for it, which was so angry that it was crawling up and down in avoidance. Relying on its good night vision, it always avoided the two quail eggs.
It is now suffering from the fact that it cannot understand human language!
That's not right...
Qianqian suddenly stopped moving, came to her senses and realized that she was wrong.
What's the point of it understanding human language? What happened tonight was obviously because humans didn't understand what they meant!
well.
Qianqian instantly calmed down and curled up on the side that was covered by the heating pad. Her pair of vertical pupils glowed slightly in the night, and she shrank the tip of her tail in grievance.
If only my junior high school sister could understand what she meant...
It was late at night and the curtains were still a little open.
After Qianqian fell asleep, a faint circle of light appeared around her snow-white scales, like the halo around the moon tonight.
The color is very light, yet its presence cannot be ignored.
It just doesn't know it.
**
Song Keling has a strong scientific research spirit, but in Qianqian, that scientific research spirit has been uncontrollably weakened layer by layer.
There are so many mysteries about the little snake.
She tried to solve it at first, but failed.
And now, she subconsciously wanted to actively cooperate and maintain this sense of mystery and no longer pursue the matter to the bottom of the matter.
Now she doesn’t know what kind of snake Qianqian is, she just thinks it is beautiful, cute, unique and cannot be replicated.
If there's a name for this snake species, and there are countless others like it somewhere in the world, online science can describe its characteristics one by one with precise and indifferent numerical ranges...
That is scientific, rigorous, practical and safe.
But Song Keling suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if everything had lost its emotional meaning.
Perhaps the meaning has changed since the little boy inexplicably followed her back from the school platform.
That's why she rejected Senior Sister Su and refused to let anyone else raise and care for the animal.
Although it would be easier to purify the toxin by directly extracting the venom, she hesitated for a while and then chose to give up.
After all, what is the point of extracting and separating it?
She couldn't really treat Qianqian as an experimental subject for research. That would be a long process and would undoubtedly cause countless harm to Qianqian.
Simply extracting the venom is more than a simple process of once or ten times.
She didn't want to see the scene where she squeezed and pinched the venom gland to make it panic and attack instinctively.
So, in the end, Song Keling only kept a less pure sample and disposed of the dead mouse.
After class at noon, Song Keling went to the woods and lawn north of the school to look for little frogs.
She was also lucky enough to meet a senior from the Agricultural College who was dealing with an insect infestation on fruit trees. The senior gave her a few fat caterpillars and then introduced her to a senior from the aquaculture department next door to get an eel seedling.
Now you don’t have to go to the market to buy it.
Try a little of everything.
Song Keling packed lunch and bought a box of rice and three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.
The first thing I did when I got back to the dormitory was to put down the packed lunch box, wash my hands, and come out to feed the little snake.
But the results are not optimistic.
Frog, Qianqian turned away and moved away;
The caterpillar, it didn't even look at it;
The eel was thrown in and the bedding paper of the breeding box was messed up. Qianqian could only step back again and again.
It refuses to eat...
The two quail eggs were placed safely and intact on the stone.
There was a heating pad on that side, and the temperature and humidity in the breeding box were just right. If Qianqian left it alone without eating, Song Keling wouldn't be surprised if two quail chicks hatched in ten days or half a month.
Qianqian watched helplessly as her territory was occupied by alien creatures. She was very angry, but she was kind by nature. She felt that she was smart and wise and could not argue with them, so she stayed away from them.
Being away, I feel angry.
So it spit out its thin black tongue and accused the human in front of it ten thousand times.
Song Keling saw Qianqian curled up in the corner of the breeding box near her side, spitting out saliva from time to time, obviously not intending to eat.
She was worried.
"Qianqian, you have to eat something no matter what. Look, your scales aren't as pretty anymore. If you don't eat, they'll flatten in a couple of days."
Qianqian immediately stopped spitting out her tongue and stared at her with her scarlet pupils wide open: Which snake did you say is not beautiful?!
Song Keling was stunned.
The strange feeling that hadn't lasted a long time, as if I could see through the little snake's emotions through the animal's vertical pupils, came back again.
Song Keling moved closer. "You're still very beautiful now, but if you don't eat, you'll soon..."
I can't find the right words for the moment.
Before she could finish, Qianqian raised her body and climbed up the breeding box bit by bit in a zigzag manner, then put her little head under the box.
Instead of retreating, it pushed back with a little force.
The horn scales are flattened.
Song Keling: Prison break?
In front of her?!
Song Keling looked at it for two seconds, moved the lunch on the table a little, put on a pair of gloves, then picked up the feeding box and shook it.
The little snake that was clinging to her and trying to get out was shaken off by her "ruthless" iron hand, and fell back onto the soft newspaper padding.
Song Keling thought that the inside of the breeding box had already been messed up by the eels, so she would move Qianqian out and replace the bedding inside later.
Since it wants to come out now, let it come out in advance.
See what it's trying to do.
The lid is open.
Qianqian climbed up to a higher place again, and then poked her little head out from the edge of the box. Her red eyes had vertical golden lines in the pupils, and when she turned her head, a pair of small horn scales on top of her head moved along with it.
He looked left and right, but couldn't seem to understand where the thing that was pressing on his head had gone.
However, it was obviously not the type to ask why, and it quickly came down from above with its strong core strength.
Seeing that its body was not long enough, Song Keling used a snake hook to lift it up and put it on the table.
Qianqian landed safely, raised her head and spit out a letter in the direction of humans to express her gratitude, then she concentrated on moving forward bit by bit.
The desk was smooth, unlike the newspaper-padded box, so it moved extremely slowly.
But it occasionally looks up and then concentrates on swimming and crawling.
Finally, I came to Song Keling's stacked fast food boxes that were still emitting hot and fragrant steam.
It stopped, turned its head and spit out its tongue to Song Keling again.
——I want to eat this!
Song Keling: …………
Song Keling felt that she must be hallucinating, and twisted her thigh with her gloved hand.
The pain came instantly.
She was clear-headed and watched the beautiful little white snake stop in front of her lunch. It turned its little head, looked at her with a pair of scarlet vertical pupils, and stopped moving with its thin black tongue.
What is going on?
Why did she feel that Qianqian wanted to eat her lunch? !
Seeing that Song Keling didn't react, Qianqian decided to rely on herself and circled around the lunch box curiously.
I don't know what it is, but it smells so good.
When Song Keling saw the little snake's subsequent behavior, she finally reacted and found a reasonable explanation - Qianqian was just following the heat.
The weather has been quite cool recently.
Qianqian has been staying in a breeding box with suitable temperature and humidity. If she suddenly comes out and touches the cold desk, she will subconsciously move towards the heat source.
In order to balance the heat, it goes around several times and finally connects end to end.
The slender body surrounded the lunch.
Seeing that it stopped moving after doing this, Song Keling raised her head slightly, spitting out its tongue while moving closer to observe it.
She still needs to eat this meal.
In order to protect her lunch today, Song Keling used her snake hook to pry Qianqian away and said, "Don't look at it. You can't eat this."
Qianqian understood and immediately turned her neck to look at her unconvincedly: What can't you say?
You can eat it but I can't.
Is it because you are a human and I am a snake?
Look down on snakes?
Song Keling only noticed its movements out of the corner of her eye, so she didn't realize the little snake's resentment or grievance. She acted quickly and grabbed all the living things in the breeding box and put them into the bag.
Then take out the water cup and moss and hide.
Replace the underlying padding.
Qianqian is still young, and the bedding material is newspaper, not poplar sawdust, so you can see a small amount of feces in a healthy shape.
However, it has been almost a week since the last time they were fed before being released.
If Qianqian doesn't eat anymore, her body will really be in trouble...
Can snakes eat cooked food?
Song Keling couldn't help but think so as she laid the new bedding, completely unaware that she was spoiling her child without any limit.
After everything was ready, she used a snake hook to hook Qianqian up and put her back into the breeding box.
Close the lid tightly.
Then Song Keling took off her gloves and washed her hands.
Song Keling asked her senior sister Qiao Ying on WeChat whether snakes can eat cooked food.
The other party didn't reply immediately, probably because he was busy.
Song Keling sat back at her desk and opened the boxes of food she had taken out from the cafeteria.
At this moment, the phone beside him vibrated, and the other party replied—[Adult snakes can't eat this, as their digestive systems are already adapted to raw food. Cooked food may cause indigestion. Young snakes may be able to try a little bit, but don't feed them too much. Why are you asking this?]
Song Keling was a little surprised that Senior Sister Su Yili had such a good relationship with Senior Sister Qiao Ying that she didn't tell her about this.
But it’s better this way, it’s better to save trouble than to worry about more.
Song Keling replied: [I was having lunch when I suddenly had this thought.]
Qiao Ying: [Oh, little snakes are fine. ^^ But little snakes definitely prefer raw mice to cooked food~~]
Thank you, Senior Sister.
[You’re welcome, Junior Sister~]
Since it is edible, Song Keling couldn't help but want to try it.
She opened her lunch box and excluded the vegetarian dishes. The meat dishes included blanched chicken stir-fried with chili peppers, braised lion's head, and a dish of sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
Exclude chicken and lion head dishes, which have more seasonings.
Song Keling picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, carefully scraped off the sweet and sour sauce on the outside, and rinsed the cleaned pork tenderloin twice with mineral water.
Then she pinched it off, picked up a small piece with long tweezers, and reopened the lid of the breeding box.
