When the cannon fodder gets the golden finger [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 75 The Story Behind a Snake Egg
After dinner, Zhao Xueyang was called away again, and when he left, Zhao Xi was told to go back to the room early to rest.
Zhao Xi slept a lot in the afternoon, but now he feels refreshed, so he just shakes his stomach in the yard to digest.
The night sky is full of stars, and there are many flowers and plants in the palace. You can hear the sound of insects and frogs in the distance. Occasionally, there is a cool breeze blowing, leisurely and comfortable.
He was thinking about going to rescue King Huaiyang tomorrow.
He has never been in danger here before, and he still has to go to such a dangerous place on the front line.
For the first time, I was a little nervous.Maybe his life is in danger, so he is inevitably a little nervous, but he is faintly gearing up, mentally prepared to meet all dangers.
The palace is large and complicated, and it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the terrain, and the flowers and plants along the road can also block your view.Zhao Xi wandered around for a while before noticing that he bumped into a hurried figure.
"Ouch—" The other party was a servant in short brown clothes, with a cape on his head, short and thin, he was knocked down to the ground, as if he was hurting from the fall.
Resisting the apology blurted out, Zhao Xi has been here for a long time, and has already learned to "be polite". Seeing this, he didn't apologize immediately, but squatted down and stretched out his hand to help. "Are you OK?"
"It's all right, it's the servant who bumped into you accidentally, please forgive me." The other party apologized after seeing him clearly.
Although I don't know Zhao Xi, but I can tell from the clothes that he is definitely not like them.
"It's nothing." Zhao Xi said, and asked casually, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?"
"Uh, no no no."
Looking around, he asked again, "Where is this?"
"The front is the beast garden, and the servant is the beast tamer of the beast garden."
"Oh." Thinking of the snake, Zhao Xi asked, "Did you raise a black snake and a kitten?"
The animal trainer saw that he spoke softly, and he didn't show any superiority, and he was less afraid.
Hearing this, he nodded, "How do you know? The cat doesn't belong to our animal garden. I don't know if it is a wild cat or some servant raised it in private. Today, the servant of the animal garden was negligent and let Xiao Hei run out. Afternoon I searched for it, but I was covered in scars..."
Zhao Xi noticed a small porcelain bottle in his hand, a bit like a bottle for ointment.
"Is that snake okay?" He asked again, momentarily curious.
"I've been sick all the time, and my servant went to fetch the medicine."
Zhao Xi thought that there was nothing wrong with the left and right, so out of curiosity, he said, "Take me to take a look."
"Yes." The servant didn't quite understand, so he saluted respectfully and took him to the animal garden.
The beast garden is not far away, and Zhao Xi realized that the road just now had been walked by during the day when he saw the familiar scenery.
When the light changed, it seemed to be a different scene.
After entering the animal garden, there are various separate sheds and animal cages in the yard.The doors of each room were wide open, and the lights were on inside, and it was very quiet at this time.
There is a huge shed in the yard, which is tightly closed.From the outside, it is covered by a brown cloth, and the traces of support inside can be seen clearly, which is a bit like a tent.
"Is there a tiger in here?" Zhao Xixi asked curiously, standing at the door and poking his head.
The expression of the animal trainer who brought him changed, "This big cat is very fierce, I'm afraid it will startle you!"
I thought Zhao Xueyang was bluffing him, but I didn't expect that he actually raised a tiger.
Zhao Xi didn't believe in evil, and took advantage of his inattention to lift a corner of the tarpaulin to take a look. It was very big inside, with a big iron cage, and a huge tiger was lying in it. Its warm and broad body was heaving and falling, as if it was sleeping. .
"It's asleep." Zhao Xi said in surprise.
He hadn't seen such a beast up close, so he seemed to be able to feel the smell and snoring of that animal.
Such a beast is scary even in sleep.
Then I went to a small room with many exquisite cages hanging in it, and various brightly colored birds were chirping and eating.About a dozen cages were hanging from the beams, and when they looked up, they were all sharp.
"Bugs, bugs!" A brightly colored parrot saw them coming in, and yelled in an ugly voice.
The servant spat and said, "Hey! What are you yelling for? Be careful that you plucked your hair."
Zhao Xi looked up at these beautiful little things with great interest.
Because of the upward angle, their sharp and drooping mouth shells are above the eyes, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable, so I stopped watching after a while.
There is a lot of hair falling on the floor of the house, mostly fluff and feces. This thing falls every day, even though it is often cleaned by people, it cannot be avoided.
Basically, people with status would not come to this kind of place in person, they are all servants who wait on the cleaners, Zhao Xi is a little difficult to get out of his cumbersome and clean clothes.
There is a small box made of wood in the corner of the room, with gaps on all sides, and the surrounding area is cleaner.
The servant who led the way walked over, squatted down and uncovered the top wood, and stretched his hand in.
With a jump, the pitch-black snake slowly climbed up his arm, raised its round head, and stared at Zhao Xi at the door.
The servant came over with the snake in his hands, sat on the porch, and applied medicine to its wound by the light.The snake is very docile and doesn't bite, just lying on its stomach and letting it move.
"Is it poisonous?" Seeing how well behaved it was, Zhao Xi crouched aside and gradually lost his vigilance.
"Xiao Hei is not poisonous," he said with a smile. "And it's very docile and doesn't bite, but other poisons are afraid of it."
"Then what kind of snake is it?" He asked curiously, and tentatively touched his right hand: "Can I touch it?"
The servant was not afraid at all, he touched the black snake's body, and guided him to Zhao Xi's hand.
"Of course, don't be afraid. The snake's body feels slippery and cool, but it's comfortable!"
The black snake spat out the letter, and slowly put its head on Zhao Xi's palm, the snake's body squirmed and climbed up, wrapping around his arm like before.
During the whole process, Zhao Xi's heart jumped into his throat, and he wanted to shake his hands almost as soon as he touched its body. He used the greatest restraint to hold back, and held the tip of its tail with his hand. It felt cool and smooth to the touch, really not bad.
The entire right hand was heavy and stiff, and he dared not move it.
"You said, all poisons are afraid of it? Why?" Zhao Xi asked, looking at Xiao Hei who was lying quietly.
"Although Xiao Hei is not poisonous, but it eats poisonous snakes, it is inevitable that some poisonous reptiles will enter the palace in summer. Ever since I got Xiao Hei, I have never seen it again. I saw it swallow a corona snake with my own eyes! "The servant said proudly. "What kind of snake is Xiao Hei?" Zhao Xi didn't know much about snakes, and he knew some venomous snakes from the animal world in his previous life.
"I don't know, the year His Royal Highness left, we picked up a snake egg from outside and put it in the animal garden for us to raise, or did we hatch it!
"Oh?" It was brought back by Zhao Xueyang.
It's still a little scary to wear this thing on your body, even though it is obedient and docile, even a little pitiful.But when Zhao Xi thought of something else, or lost his mind, and suddenly remembered that there was such a thing on his hand, goose bumps all over his body instantly.
Some people are born afraid of snakes.
"When will its wound heal?" Zhao Xi lightly touched the powder on the wound and rubbed his fingertips.
"The injury is not serious. It will heal itself in two days, and it will be faster with the medicine."
"Go get me a cage and put it in, and I'll take it away." Zhao Xi ordered, and stretched out his hand to ask for medicine: "Give me the medicine too."
"Eh, huh?" The servant was stunned, as if he didn't react.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xi returned to the Snow Yard with a small wooden cage. The box was not sealed, and a black thing could be seen coiled around it.
Lights were hung under the eaves, and the yard was brightly lit.There was no light in the room, so Zhao Xueyang probably hasn't come back yet.
Unlike at noon, there were a large number of servants in the yard, both men and women, all standing there seemed to be waiting for him.
"I've seen Young Master Biao." Seeing him come in, he saluted respectfully.
Xiao Hei sneaked out a round head from the box and peeked out, but Zhao Xi didn't notice.
"Ah!" The timid little girl with sharp eyes noticed Xiao Hei, screamed in fright, and quickly covered her mouth.
Before Zhao Xi could speak, he lowered his head and met a pair of black bean eyes.
"..."
"Ahem, if you have nothing to do, go down. There will be no lights in the house at any time." He changed the subject awkwardly.
Among the group of people, he saw the maid named Ah Ling, who was said to be Zhao Xueyang's roommate, with a red dress that was different from others, and she alone was the most juicy and beautiful.The action was also the fastest, leading the two maids to the room to light the lamp.
"I don't need to serve you for now, let's go down." After sitting on the chair, Zhao Xi waved them away.
He put the box on the ground smoothly.
When the person left, as soon as the door was closed, the little black head stuck out of the box like a gopher.
The little black snake twisted its body and walked around the house, looking very lively.
Zhao Xi was afraid that it would get into some invisible place and could not find it, so he kept staring at it, and was afraid to catch it again.
The black snake rushed towards the inner room in high spirits, and Zhao Xi hurriedly got up and chased after him.
I saw it was going to crawl on the bed.
He rushed to stop it, took a candlestick and pulled out the candle to drive it back.
If it climbed up, it would not dare to go up to sleep.
Xiao Hei twisted unwillingly, turned around and swam away.
When Zhao Xueyang came back, he saw Zhao Xi walking around the house, looking into the corners.
"What are you looking for?" He asked strangely.
Zhao Xi was bending down to look under the desk, the snake ancestor was having fun everywhere like a brat, and he didn't know where to go before he disappeared.
Lock it up when you catch it.
"I'm looking for a snake." He looked at Zhao Xueyang helplessly.
"snake?"
"Well, black. I got it back from the zoo."
"... over there." Zhao Xueyang pointed to the twisting snake in the middle of the room, which was coming towards him excitedly.
Xiao Hei hovered at Zhao Xueyang's feet, spitting out letters non-stop.
Zhao Xi quickly came over with the snake box, and was a little surprised when he saw this, "What is it doing? It seems to like you very much."
Zhao Xueyang squatted down and watched Zhao Xi clumsily pick up the snake and put it into a box, and sealed it with a tall plate with snacks on the table, and left a gap for it to breathe.
"Do you want to raise snakes?" Zhao Xueyang asked him while sitting on the side.He thought Zhao Xi would be afraid of reptiles.
I remember once in An Jing's mansion, a centipede crawled out from nowhere, which frightened him a lot.
"Think again." Zhao Xi put the box aside and raised an eyebrow at him.
Zhao Xueyang was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes flickered, as if he remembered something.
He looked at the box, frowning slightly, a little suspicious.
"I heard from the servants of the animal garden that Xiao Hei is the egg you brought back. It is not poisonous but can swallow poison. I thought it might be helpful to our actions, so I brought it back."
Zhao Xi was very thoughtful. After all, it is a domesticated snake, and it is relatively close to relatives. It should not run away.There are many poisons in the mountains, so carrying Xiao Hei might be of great use.
"It turned out that the snake egg hatched." The conjecture was confirmed, Zhao Xueyang pointed his finger on the table, thoughtfully.
"Where did you get it?" Zhao Xi glanced at him and asked out of pure curiosity.
"Ahem, I picked it up in the mountains. I heard that the Miao people are good at cultivating poisonous substances. They should have raised them."
If Zhao Xi looked carefully, he could see his eyes flickering, and he was dodging abnormally.
It's a pity that he was so focused on the little black box that he didn't notice it.
