Chapter 159 Poisoning
No matter how much realgar there is in Jiang Si's space, it will run out one day.
Everyone looked at the dense swarms of sea snakes in the distance and felt as if a huge stone was blocking their hearts.
If a snake accidentally gets into the icebreaker and rapidly reproduces in large numbers, it would be really scary.
The more Shen Baoying thought about it, the more horrified she felt. "Should we pull the boat ashore? Or should we find another place to live?"
Jiang Si shook his head. "The boat is too big to be pulled ashore. We can only dock on the beach, which is within the climbing range of sea snakes. However, if we encounter danger and need to use the boat to launch it, it will be even more troublesome."
"Can we guarantee that changing places will be better than here? Won't there be greater danger?"
"Every place is full of unknowns, but fortunately, we still have ways to face these current dangers."
"Realgar can be used for a long time. Let's observe it first."
What Jiang Si said made sense. There were unknowns everywhere, but at least they were familiar with Hot Spring Bay.
Moreover, new houses have been built on the shore, and life is full of hope.
Jiang Linhai smiled and said, "Don't be so discouraged. This snake is edible after all. It can be considered a delicacy delivered to your door."
Although it is edible, no one wants to eat it.
Niuniu said, "It would be great if another group of vultures came. They would eat the sea snakes, and then we could pick up some more vulture eggs."
Jiang Si suddenly laughed, "Maybe there really will be, let's wait and see."
The vulture eggs we had collected earlier were placed in the sauna room, and we would check the temperature and turn the eggs over every day.
There are several eggs, but only four are fertilized. When observed under light, it can be seen that they are developing well.
The remaining eggs were broken and fed to the monkeys.
It’s not that they don’t want to try it, but the vulture eggs are too fishy and no one wants to eat them.
After a day of observation, Jiang Si discovered that these sea snakes came ashore mainly to breathe air and secondly to lay eggs on the beach.
If they are allowed to lay eggs, there will be even more sea snakes in the future.
Just thinking about it makes everyone's scalp tingle.
But they couldn't spread realgar along the entire coast to prevent them from laying eggs.
One can only hope that with temperatures this low, sea snakes won’t hatch.
Zhang Aihua and the others were very scared when they saw the sea snake breaking through the ice.
But after seeing that these sea snakes did not dare to leave the sea too far and their movement to the shore was rather slow and sluggish, he became excited again, raised his machete, chopped off several sea snakes in a row, and dragged them back directly. Everyone had a happy meal.
Snake meat is also commonly known as dragon meat. The meat is firm and tender. Apart from having a lot of bones, there is nothing wrong with it.
Snake skin can also be used to make clothes and various daily necessities. Instead of being afraid, everyone became excited and caught a lot of sea snakes in one breath. After peeling off the skin, they processed the meat and buried it in the snow to freeze it for storage.
That way they can eat for a long time.
After observing Zhang Aihua and the others' actions through a telescope, Jiang Si sighed, "Humans are also a major natural enemy of sea snakes."
As long as there are enough people, no matter how many sea snakes there are, they will not be able to reproduce.
After the sea snake built its nest, it began to lay eggs one after another.
The beach is so small, and due to their nature, when there is no place for them to lay eggs, they will simply swallow the eggs that are not their own, or push them out of the snow nest with their tails.
This made Zhang Aihua and the others even happier, as they now had nutritious products.
They collected a lot of snake eggs and killed hundreds of them that night. They made snake egg soup, snake egg pancakes, snake gall soup, and roasted snake eggs...
Zhang Yiwen liked it at first and ate it for three days in a row. His mind was full of bean sprouts and leeks that had just risen in the house. "Mom, I want to eat leek dumplings, I want to eat fried bean sprouts, I want to eat tofu!"
Who would have thought that he was hungry before, but now he eats meat and eggs until he vomits.
Song Yufang also wanted to eat leek dumplings.
However, even with this little bit of money, they still tried their best to let light in through the windows, so that they could make money at home.
Even if we cut off one crop, it wouldn't be enough to make a few dumplings. Song Yufang said, "Be patient. Wait a few days and it will grow back a lot, then we can eat it."
Zhang Yiwen sighed, "Can't we just take something and trade it with those people?"
"Take snake meat, snake eggs, or anything else."
Song Yufang sighed, "They don't lack these things, so of course they have to trade with things they need or don't have."
Zhang Yiwen thought for a moment and asked, "Can I exchange my Vulture down mattress for something?"
Song Yufang smiled and said, "I don't care about it."
"Oh, this is too difficult!"
Song Yufang touched his face, which had finally gained some weight in the past two days, and said, "Be content. When the radishes grow up, I'll make you radish cakes and pickled radishes."
Zhang Yiwen thought about the crispy radish and nodded happily, "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Qiu's anxious voice suddenly came.
Brother Qiu said to Zhang Aihua, "Mr. Zhang, one of our people was bitten by a snake. It seems that they have suddenly become much more sensitive and their territory has expanded."
Suddenly, everyone was shocked.
Could it be because of the temperature?
In the past two days, the temperature has obviously risen a little.
If the temperature continues to rise, will these snakes run around?
The anxiety that had disappeared before immediately returned.
But right now we are rescuing people who have been poisoned by snakes.
Zhang Aihua had just followed Brother Qiu over when the man was so frightened that he fainted completely.
In just a few minutes, the poison had spread like a spider web on the bitten calf.
Everyone was shocked. "What should we do? Is it useless to cut off an arm to save his life now?"
The man's mother cried, "Go find Miss Jiang and them, and save our son! Please!"
Zhang Aihua shook her head and said, "Aunt Zhang, sea snakes are more poisonous than cobras. One bite can kill an elephant. It's not that we don't want to save them, but it's useless. You have to face reality."
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she broke down and burst into tears.
She finally managed to hold on until she got here, and finally settled down a little, with a family member by her side who depended on her. But in the end, she couldn't keep them, and she had to send them off to someone else.
A look of determination flashed in Aunt Zhang's eyes, and she picked up the snake-killing knife and wanted to commit suicide.
Zhang Aihua grabbed her and persuaded her, "Aunt Zhang, calm down!"
"Wuwuwu, calm down, please don't stop me. There's no point in me living anymore!"
In order to stop Aunt Zhang from committing suicide, Zhang Aihua could only say, "I'll ask them for you. Ask them!"
Aunt Zhang froze in her suicidal stance, dropped the knife, and rushed to her son, "Thank you, thank you."
Zhang Aihua took out his pager and Jiang Si answered it. He explained the reason and wanted to ask Jiang Si if they had any way to detoxify.
Jiang Si's space had an antidote serum, but the deep-sea safflower viper was inherently poisonous and had no antidote, and no one had developed an effective medicine. She replied, "There's no antidote for snake venom. You'd better be careful."
