Chapter 31 Red Tail Scorpion
It is the mid-winter season, when hundreds of birds are lying in their nests, and thousands of trees are in full swing. Looking around, Cuiwei Mountain is vast and majestic. Looking back at Lishi County, the stars are like beans, full of vitality.
Lao Pei was in danger in the mountains and was a little exhausted. After lunch, he had to have a good sleep.
After eating good wine and good food, Bian Mu was in high spirits. He had to take the time to collect some herbs after coming all the way. After saying hello and briefly tidying up, Bian Mu walked toward the depths of the mountain alone. go.
Lao Pei was a little worried, so he gave the "God of Wealth" a few words and sent him to accompany Bian Mu into the mountains.
There is a deep valley called "Hongnigou" in the hinterland of Cuiwei Mountain. There are many wild Millet Spatholobus growing there. Local herbicide farmers know this. However, "Hongnigou" also grows a kind of "Red-tailed Scorpion". ", a kind of extremely poisonous aggressive scorpion. Once a person is stung by that kind of scorpion, if the treatment is not timely, his life will be in danger immediately.
Drug farmers are in awe of the terrifying lethality of the "red-tailed scorpion", and almost no one dares to risk their lives to go to the "Hongnigou" to cut and harvest wild chicken-blood vines.
Bian Mu prepared a kind of anti-insect powder by himself. Before he came, he had sealed it in several non-woven bags. He put a bag in his pocket, collar, cuffs, trousers, and under the soles of shoes... He had tried it several times. Well, the "Red Tail Scorpion" ran away as soon as it smelled the smell of the medicinal powder.
The mountain wind was cold and the road was rugged. As he approached the place, Bian Mu's back was already sweating. He chose a big rock and stood there looking around for a few times.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" "God of Wealth" suddenly barked loudly in the northeast direction.
This is a warning to Bian Mu!
Looking around Xun Sheng, Bian Mu found a circle of people standing or sitting about 200 meters ahead. He counted in his mind, a total of 11 adults. Those people were wearing uniform forest protective clothing. That was a group of people. A seamless protective suit with the head and limbs all connected together. There should be a zipper on the front or back, which can be opened before changing clothes.
Not only that, those people also wore transparent protective masks on their heads. See what it meant, it should be used to prevent being bitten by poisonous insects in the mountains.
"Huh?! What are these people doing? The land they are staying on happens to be the only entrance into the ditch. Could it be that...are they here for the Millipeda? Or the 'Red-tailed Scorpion'?" There is also a camping tent set up next to it, and there are a lot of equipment piled at the feet. It looks quite professional, from the archaeological team? It doesn’t look like..." After pondering for a moment, Bian Mu felt that those people might have some origins.
Bian Mu took out two pieces of cooked beef from his jacket pocket and held them in plastic bags and handed them to the "God of Wealth". He smiled and said a few words: "'God of Wealth'! The group of people in front should be professionals from a certain company or unit. , he doesn’t look like a bad guy, you have to keep quiet when we come up to you later! So as not to scare them again.”
The cooked beef is very delicious. "God of Wealth" chewed the delicious food and nodded repeatedly. Judging from the meaning, it must have understood.
When Bian Mu almost reached the group of people, he saw a big man standing up among the group of people. Judging from his figure, he should be a man.
"Hey! Don't go forward! It's dangerous ahead! Go back the way you came!" The big man stopped him loudly.
"Oh! What do you guys do? Why did you close the intersection? What happened to 'Hongnigou'?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"What are you doing? I didn't know there were poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in there! Don't be nagging! Go back where you came from!" The big man's tone became more and more rude.
"Oh! This is public land. I have a medicine collection permit. Which unit do you belong to? Please show me your certificate. If something happens inside, I will go home immediately without you having to say hello." Bian Mu ignored his quarrel and replied with a smile.
"You are a medicine farmer? You are a thin-skinned and tender-bodied guy who hasn't seen the sun for a few days. Who are you to blame? We are on official business and have no time to talk nonsense with you!" As he spoke, the tall man strode towards Bian Mu. Come over.
Look at that posture, if Bian Mu continues to argue, he will start to chase them away.
Bian Mu was in his prime of life, so he couldn't resist his trick. Seeing that he was trying to drive her away, his face didn't change, so Bian Mu walked towards him head on.
Bian Mu had already thought about it. If the other party was a public servant such as the police, he would definitely wear a corresponding work badge, such as a badge. Not only that, if he saw him rushing into a deep ditch, the public servant would immediately light up. identify yourself, and briefly explain the clear reasons why you cannot just enter and exit the ditch.
"If this bastard in front of me dares to make a move, I'll take him down first." Bian Mu thought to himself.
The "God of Wealth" clearly sensed the "smell of gunpowder" and walked towards the big man ahead of Bian Mu. His eyes were fixed on him. Judging by his posture, he would rush forward and bite him at any time if he did something wrong. other side.
Just when the two were about to use their guns and go off, they heard a woman's voice coming from behind the big man: "Okay! We can't talk properly if we have something to say! The battery is probably about to be charged, why don't we go over and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, the big man stared at Bian Mu fiercely, turned around and walked quickly towards one of the camping tents.
The woman is not very tall, and she looks like a graceful woman when she walks.
"Our company is conducting field operations. There are really poisonous insects ahead, including some scorpions that are quite deadly. For your own safety, please return the way you came!" The woman spoke much more politely.
"Haha... I really came here to collect medicine. This is not the first time I have been to this place. You are talking about the 'red-tailed scorpion', right? It's okay. Not only am I not afraid of it, I also want to catch it and use it for medicine!" As he spoke, Mu took off his backpack and took out a retractable and foldable "Scorpion Catching Claw".
The woman stared at Bian Mu for a long time while watching the operation demonstration with great curiosity, and asked in surprise: "Do you really dare to catch that kind of scorpion?"
"Haha...there's nothing to be afraid of. Look! As soon as I press the mechanism, a metal needle will stick out from the front. I put a special anesthetic on it. I prick it first and then scratch it. The scorpion immediately becomes obedient."
"You are really a drug farmer! You don't look like it at all! We were just worried about how to bring back a few samples, but you just happened to be here, then... we will follow you into the ditch, can you help us catch them? How many samples? Don’t worry! We will pay you.”
"Haha... It's easy to say, easy to say! Catching scorpions is a trivial matter, but... I have to see their work IDs, otherwise, I won't be able to help you."
"Here! This is my work permit. I am their team leader and was appointed by the company to take samples. Since you are so expert, can you help us collect some samples? This will save them all from being worried and making no progress for several hours." As she spoke, the woman turned to look at several male colleagues around her.
Bian Mu took the work permit handed over by the other party and looked at it carefully, yo! They are really employees of a regular pharmaceutical company.
