Chapter 312 Copper Coin Protection
Having just finished a trip, Feng Shou was exhausted both physically and mentally. He chatted with the old man for a while, talking about some more relaxing topics, sharing his experiences and gossips on the trip.
At night, he went back to the room and searched around, and found a red rope, which was taken from a pendant he had bought before. It was a little old, slightly faded, and not long enough to be hung around the neck. But it was okay to make do with it.
It was better than a bare copper coin. The red rope was conspicuous.
Just like a key, if it was strung with something, it would be more conspicuous and not easy to lose. If it was lost, it would be easy to find.
On the first day back home, Feng Shou rested early and did not continue to worry about whether the zodiac coins were blessed by the ancestral souls. No matter how much he worried about this kind of question, he would not get the answer.
The next day, Feng Shou first gave the souvenirs he bought to the neighbors and friends around him. When he was not at home, if his grandmother encountered any difficulties, he would come back to express his gratitude to the neighbors and friends around him for helping her.
After finishing these things, he went to the orchard.
The hired worker in the orchard said that he had not encountered any snakes in the orchard during the days he was away, but he had encountered them in other orchards.
For safety reasons, Feng Shou took some protection and walked into the orchard. He was not like some brave people who dared to rush in with just slippers on.
In fact, they live in a tropical area, not a particularly prosperous big city like Yangcheng, where they see more snakes.
They are indeed afraid of snakes, but not as strong as many people.
Just like Feng Shou himself. Not to mention non-venomous snakes, when it comes to highly venomous snakes, he is actually more troubled than afraid.
The hired workers in the orchard are the same. When they encounter venomous snakes while working in the orchard, they deal with them themselves several times.
There are also many people who are not afraid of snakes here. But this has nothing to do with whether they will be bitten or not.
Feng Shou just doesn't want to be bitten.
As the frequency of venomous snakes appears more and more, the orchard plantation is no longer as peaceful and stable as it was in the years when the climate anomaly just ended.
Someone in a plantation next door was bitten by a round-spotted viper. He was sent to the hospital and his life was saved, but it was said that his kidney function was impaired.
No one wants to encounter such a thing.
But Feng Shou was unwilling to overuse snake repellent.
First, the orchard was too large and the effect was extremely limited.
Second, he had a park that focused on high-quality fruits, and the external publicity was that they grew naturally, matured naturally, were pesticide-free, and were not additives. This was the biggest profit.
Snake repellent is also a medicine, so of course it must be used with caution.
Therefore, he could only remind the hired workers to take precautions frequently.
Feng Shou took the zodiac coin. The rope was directly put on his wrist. One circle was too loose, two circles were too tight, and it was neither too long nor too short, so he had to hold the copper coin in his palm.
While inspecting the orchard, he made some records as usual.
The hired workers reported that several plants had not grown well recently. He remembered the location of those plants and was going to go over to see if it was a soil problem.
After bypassing a slope and preparing to continue forward, Feng Shou paused.
He saw a snake. It was a common type of snake in the area. It was not big and not very poisonous, so he just raised his eyebrows slightly and planned to find a branch to pick it up.
Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Feng Shou moved his eyes forward and saw another figure——
The front part of the body was erected, and the skin folds on the neck expanded and opened, with wild ferocity and the majesty of a king.
Looking at it alone, it was indeed a domineering and graceful beauty.
But now, Feng Shou didn't feel so good when facing it.
If he met other snakes, he could still take out his mobile phone to take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments without panic, but when facing a king cobra, he would be more cautious.
Who knows what its temper is like? If it is in a bad temper now, it will be more dangerous.
It is estimated to be more than three meters long, which is considered big in the wild.
Feng Shou has lived here for so many years and rarely encounters king cobras.
Thinking that king cobras have a strong snake-eating nature, Feng Shou looked at the smaller snake. In other words, the king cobra may have chased this small snake!
Eye King usually doesn't actively chase people, but it's hard to say now.
It's hungry and comes out to hunt. If it encounters a meddler and gets angry, it's hard to guess what it will do.
Feng Shou is relatively calm. Living in this area, he has encountered snakes many times and can handle them calmly.
If he turns around and runs now, there's nothing to worry about. He knows the terrain here very well. He can run faster than them and has better endurance than them.
However, Feng Shou plans to try his "secret weapon" first.
If this secret weapon doesn't work, he will definitely turn around and run first, and then come back to deal with the two snakes after getting the equipment. With his current snake-catching skills, he can't catch a venomous snake of this size with his bare hands.
Two snakes and one person, there is a brief silence.
In fact, the one who is most afraid among the three is definitely not Feng Shou, but the smaller snake blocked in the middle.
There is a two-legged beast in front and a king of glasses behind.
If it is smart enough, it will choose the former. After all, the various policies and protection measures introduced after the abnormal climate period generally release this kind of snake after it is caught.
But it should not have such a powerful brain.
With its brain capacity, it can basically not calculate anything beyond instinct.
Feng Shou quickly glanced at his clenched hands.
In his palm was a copper coin.
I don’t know how much of the smell of the copper coin was released when I held it in my hand. Anyway, neither of the two snakes showed any aggressive or demonstrative behavior towards him immediately.
Feng Shou didn’t look at the small snake that was not a big threat. Most of his attention was on the king cobra.
He opened his fingers and revealed the copper coin in his palm.
The smell that ordinary people could not smell spread around.
A few steps away, the king cobra, which was originally on the sidelines, immediately put away its demonstrative posture, turned around, and ran to the other side, retreating nimbly and quickly.
And the smaller snake also avoided Feng Shou, crawling away in a large C-shaped route.
Just like what Feng Shou’s grandmother told him, it was as if the ancestors appeared on the spot and put up a protective shield!
The past is back!
It really works!
“Feng Yi didn’t lie to me!”
The tears of emotion almost came out on the spot!
I was moved and felt a little guilty, ashamed of my previous doubts.
Although I don’t know how long the snake-repelling effect of this copper coin can last, at this moment, it is effective!
Feng Shou stood there quietly, watching the two snakes go away, and forgot to take out his phone to take pictures.
When he came to his senses, he first told the other employees about the king cobra in the orchard, and asked them to pay more attention when working. Then he found Feng Yi in the address book and thanked him sincerely.
Feng Yi might have something else to do, so he didn't reply immediately.
After sending the message, Feng Shou continued his work for the day.
The zodiac coin was easy to get dirty when it was wrapped around his wrist, so Feng Shou carefully put it in his pocket.
He didn't encounter any snakes along the way.
In the rest house in the orchard, Feng Shou took out a small box of pills and put the zodiac coin in it, so that the target would be bigger and more visible. Otherwise, such a small copper coin would not be noticed when it fell while working.
After finishing today's work, when it was getting late and he was about to go back, Feng Shou saw the figure of the king cobra again at the edge of the orchard.
Perhaps the copper coin was placed in the pill box, and the smell was blocked, so the king cobra did not avoid it immediately.
Feng Shou did not bother them immediately. The king cobra was eating.
The smaller snake that he had seen before still could not escape the mouth of the king cobra. When Feng Shou saw it, only half of the snake was left, and the front part had been swallowed into the king cobra's stomach.
At a distance, Feng Shou took out his mobile phone to take a video and sent it to his circle of friends and chat group to let everyone know that a king cobra had appeared here, and everyone should pay attention when traveling recently.
Immediately, many people left messages asking him to pay attention to safety when patrolling the orchard. Recently, not only king cobras have appeared, but also kidney-deficiency snakes!
Feng Shou replied confidently: [I'm not afraid! ]
I have copper coins to protect me!
Lazy for a day, continue with short chapters.
Strive again tomorrow!
