However, there are not many wild vegetables here, so Shen Youyou insisted on walking around in front. The wild vegetables are secondary, as she mainly wanted to find palm trees.

As a result, at this moment, Grandpa Shen’s only granddaughter, Shen Yaya, who was also Shen Nannan’s aunt, suddenly screamed: "Ah! Snake, there is a snake!"

At this moment, Shen Yaya felt her legs trembling as if they were filled with lead. She couldn't move a step. The snake just raised its head and stared at her, spitting out its bright red tongue.

This sound attracted everyone's attention, and Shen Youyou reminded them in time: "Don't shout! Don't move!"

And then there are the girls’ groundhog screams: “Ah!”

Fortunately, she shouted in time, and the girls covered their mouths as soon as they made a sound.

Shen Youyou was afraid that they would be frightened by the snake and bite Sister Yaya again.

You should know that when a snake stares at people and spits out its tongue, it actually senses that you are in danger and is warning you.

At this time, you should first stay calm and avoid panicking. If it is not ready to attack, then back away slowly and quietly, avoiding direct eye contact or threatening movements.

Because most snakes will not actively attack humans, provided that you do not provoke them. The snake stares at you to warn you. If you walk away, its purpose is achieved and it will not chase you.

But if you scream and irritate it, or say to the snake in a silly way: "What are you looking at?"

The snake won't say to you: "Look at you!"

It might bite you directly, and you will lose a lot.

Of course this is a joke. Such fierce people are relatively rare.

But not all snakes give a warning before attacking.

Some snakes may attack suddenly, catching you off guard.

For example, the pit viper in front of you is about 70 centimeters long, with a slightly triangular head, gray-brown to brown back, a dark inverted V-shaped spot on the back of the head, and gray-white to gray-brown belly with black spots.

Why is it called a pit viper? Because if someone touches it, it will turn over, and if it bites people, the people will also fall over, so it got this name. Do you know how poisonous this thing is?

It is probably waiting for you to let your guard down so it can deliver a fatal blow.

Shen Youyou was not a worm in the snake's stomach, nor did she know how to observe the snake's movements. Therefore, she believed more in the wise saying of our ancestors: "He who strikes first is the strongest, and he who strikes last will suffer."

She gently comforted her sisters, telling them not to be afraid and to stay quiet.

While holding the big knife tightly in his hand, he stared at the viper in front of him with a firm gaze.

Just as she was about to attack the viper, she suddenly found that the viper's head was slowly retracting, obviously a move to launch an attack.

So she reacted quickly, swung her sword without hesitation and chopped at the viper's neck. At the same time, she stretched out her other hand, grabbed Shen Yaya's arm tightly, and pulled her back with force.

However, she was too nervous and used too much force, and Shen Yaya lost her balance and fell to the ground.

But it all happened so fast that she didn't have time to think more.

The big knife drew an arc in the air, and the sharp blade instantly cut off the viper's neck.

The viper's head separated from its body, but at this moment, a stream of venom spurted out of its mouth.

Fortunately, due to the impact of the knife, the viper's head deviated from its original direction and did not spray directly onto Shen Youyou and Shen Yaya.

However, this thrilling scene still made the girls present scream in fear.

Especially Shen Erya, she was worried that Shen Youyou was sprayed with venom, so she was the first to rush forward to check on Shen Youyou. She pulled her up and down to check her out, and found that there was no problem, so she couldn't hold back any more and cried out "Wow", and burst into tears.

The other sisters were also frightened and gathered around to check what was going on, each of them with tears in their eyes.

Shen Youyou knew that she had scared everyone, so she didn't have time to think about the situation.

"Don't cry, sisters. I only moved when I was sure."

This is indeed the truth. If she was not absolutely sure, she would never joke about Sister Yaya's life.

After all, even if there is danger, the first person to suffer will be Sister Yaya who is walking in front.

"You still dare to say that? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? Wuuuuu..." Shen Erya cried and shouted loudly.

This was the first time she was yelled at by Shen Erya since she met her, and it was also the only time she heard her second sister's angry roar.

She blinked, knowing that her sister was worried about her, and quickly comforted her:

"Second sister, think about it. I'm so fast, how could it be faster than me? And I saw it retract its neck at that time. I've heard before that snakes retract their necks to attack more quickly, so the situation at that time didn't allow me to think too much."

Sister Daya and Sister Taohua also shed tears and warned Shen Youyou seriously that she must never be so reckless again.

At this time, Sister Yaya from Mr. Shen's family finally came to her senses. She kept crying and expressing her gratitude.

I feel a little embarrassed about what happened to Shen Youyou.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Shen Youyou picked up a wooden stick and gently touched the snake's head. The snake suddenly opened its mouth and bit the stick tightly, which scared everyone.

"Sisters, you see, even after this snake died, it still wanted to take revenge on me."

In fact, she was just saying it casually. Who knew that Sister Erya would get angry again: "You are still touching it? Hurry up and throw away the stick. We won't pick wild vegetables anymore. Let's go back now."

Shen Youyou had no choice but to explain: "I was joking. Actually, I already knew that even if the snake's head fell off, it would still bite people. It's not about revenge. I just wanted to tease you.

In fact, it is because its nervous system can operate independently and produce conditioned reflexes.

Especially for venomous snakes, when they are stimulated by external factors, they may bite or even spray venom. This one didn't spray because it just sprayed, so if you encounter this kind of snake with only the head, you should stay away from it."

As she spoke, she buried part of the snake's head in the soil and explained, "We have to bury the snake's head deeper to prevent it from being eaten by other animals and poisoned."

The sisters said: "Where are the other animals coming from? Are you talking about locusts, mosquitoes or flies?"

She was speechless. It had been a long time since she last saw any animals. She had killed the only one with a knife. However, the locusts, mosquitoes and flies would not be able to jump around for long.

To ease the embarrassment, she picked up another branch and carefully picked the snake's body apart. At this moment, the snake's body suddenly wrapped around the stick, scaring the sisters to scream again.

Shen Youyou quickly comforted them: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a nerve moving, it's dead and won't hurt us anymore."

Sister Jin Xing from Dalin's family suddenly asked, "What is a nerve?"

Shen Youyou smiled and patiently explained, "To put it simply, it is something that controls the movement of the body. When a snake dies, although its brain stops working, its nerves will continue to function for a while. That's why the snake's body wrapped itself around the stick just now."

After hearing this, the sisters suddenly realized what was going on and finally felt relieved.
