"What do you mean? Do you want to shoot?"
Chen Wang asked.
He is a little afraid of poisonous creatures such as snakes, spiders, and centipedes.
Chen Dazhuang thought for a moment and said with a bitter face: "To be honest, I'm a little afraid of this thing. If I can't hit it, it won't run away. It will rush towards me very fast. It will be troublesome if it bites me."
"But this thing should be valuable, right?"
"Of course I did. I killed a snake before, but it wasn't this kind. It was smaller than this one and I sold it for a few bucks."
"I'll fight. I can't refuse the money!"
As Chen Wang spoke, he opened the chamber of the shotgun, removed the two single-shot bullets, and replaced them with two shotgun shells.
Shotgun is more effective in killing venomous snakes that move quickly and are difficult to aim at.
"Okay, let's fight. It won't be harder than that black bear, right? You fight first and I'll follow up with the shot."
Chen Dazhuang said in a deep voice.
Chen Wang nodded in response, then walked slowly forward with the shotgun in hand, approaching cautiously.
The snake's perception was very strong. It had already discovered them. It raised its triangular tongue and stared at them with its tongue sticking out, as if it was hesitating whether to flee or attack.
At this time, Chen Wang stopped, feeling that the distance was about right and if he went any closer the snake might move.
He slowly aimed the gun at the snake's head, concentrated and held his breath, then pulled the trigger steadily.
"Bang!!"
The sound of gunfire was so loud that it scared away many birds in the surrounding area.
The five-step snake was also startled and subconsciously tried to escape, but the shotgun bullet hit its head.
Under the terrifying power, the snake's head exploded directly, and a crater was blown out in the stone behind it, with bullets embedded in it.
Chen Wang took a deep breath and a look of joy appeared on his face.
The tension of fighting this thing is almost the same as fighting a black bear.
The main reason is that he himself is afraid of this kind of poisonous snake.
If it were a professional snake catcher, he probably wouldn't even need a gun and could easily catch the snake.
"pretty!"
Chen Dazhuang praised and ran over to pick up the headless five-step snake.
Chen Wang also walked over and looked at it curiously.
This five-step snake should weigh about 60 to 70 kilograms and is just over one meter long.
"Can you handle this thing?"
Chen Wang asked curiously.
"Of course. This little thing is much simpler than wild boars, black bears, etc. Leave it to me."
Chen Dazhuang took out a dagger and ripped open the man's stomach.
After taking out the internal organs, Chen Dazhuang picked up the snake gallbladder and grinned, "Do you want the snake gallbladder? It can improve your eyesight."
Chen Wang showed a look of disgust and waved his hand.
"All right!"
Chen Dazhuang put the snake gallbladder aside and started to skin the snake, saying, "It's a bit of a waste to shoot this thing with a gun, especially since the head is gone. Not only can the venom not be removed, but the snake skin is also incomplete. Only the snake meat and the gallbladder are worth some money."
"There's no other way. Do you dare to catch me?"
Chen Wang rolled his eyes.
"What the hell, only tough guys dare to grab this thing."
"What the hell are you talking about? Hurry up and continue after you're done. We didn't get much today."
"It's still not enough? Do you think you can come across good stuff every day?"
Chen Dazhuang was speechless, but he still quickened his pace.
After skinning the snake, they wrapped the snake gallbladder in the snake skin and threw it into a sack together with the snake meat. Then the two men continued to search for prey.
Half a day passed and the two still hadn't found their next prey.
After finding a clean spot under a tree, Chen Wang took out the lunch his wife had brought from the medicine basket.
Today we used two aluminum lunch boxes, with egg fried rice and fried pork belly with chili peppers, plus a salted duck egg for each person.
As for the little monkey Jixiang, Chen Wang brought him two of his favorite bananas.
The two men and the monkey squatted under the tree and started to eat with relish.
"Mmm... delicious, so fragrant."
Chen Dazhuang shoveled the food into his mouth while praising him vaguely.
Although the food was a little cold, it was not a problem for the two of them and they still ate it with relish.
In the end, there was not a drop of rice in the two people's lunch boxes, and they didn't even feel like washing them.
Chen Wang packed up the aluminum lunch box and put it into the medicine basket, then took out the kettle to replenish water.
After eating and drinking, the two sat down to rest for a while, chatted to digest the food, and then stood up and continued on their journey.
When passing by a forest, Chen Dazhuang suddenly discovered something and ran over quickly.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Wang hurried to follow.
"Look at this."
Chen Dazhuang stopped in front of a tree, raised his hand and pointed at the trunk, his tone full of suppressed excitement.
Chen Wang took a closer look and immediately showed joy on his face.
There were several hideous claw marks on the tree trunk. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have been left by a black bear.
And judging from the claw marks, this bear was quite large.
