“Hmm…” In a dimly lit small room, a figure lying on the ground seemed to move and let out a low moan.
Amidst the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other, the man propped himself up on the ground with one hand, rubbed his forehead with the other hand, and looked around in confusion.
This is a room of about 20 square meters. Except for a single bed and a computer desk under the small window, there is only a pharmacy-like container placed against the wall in the small space. Put the same cabinet as the medicinal materials.
The difference is that the drawer is much larger than the medicine cabinet, and it is made of transparent acrylic.
Each crate contains a low-wattage night light bulb that casts a dim gleam.
There is a fish tank alone in the corner, I don’t know what it is used for.
The man sat there for a few more minutes, his pale and thin face and slightly dazed eyes could be seen through the weak light.
A car sped by on the street outside the window, and the strong light shone through the glass on his face. He subconsciously raised his right hand to cover his eyes, and then he seemed to remember something, staring blankly at his right hand.
“My name is Shao Zifeng, I am 20 years old, and I am a sophomore at Sucheng University, majoring in advertising and exhibition…”
“No, the major is cultivation…”
“Today is Wednesday, February 19th…”
“No, today is Tuesday, February 18th..”
“There’s still one order that hasn’t been processed, but… haven’t I been bitten by a viper?” Shao Zifeng muttered to himself, looking blankly at his white right hand, with slender and slender fingers. The bite marks in his memory, and then he scratched his messy hair with both hands irritably.
Shao Zifeng is a student of Sucheng University. In addition to being a student, he also works part-time as the owner of a treasure store. However, the items in his store are quite special, and they sell some relatively small pets.
For example, in the cabinets against the wall, there are various types of snakes on the upper floors, and several lizards on the lower floors. If customers need him, he can also help order exotic pets such as spiders and centipedes.
During class today, he received an order. The customer was introduced by someone else, calling for a round-spotted viper he secretly raised.
This thing is commonly known as the Kidney Deficiency Snake and the Widow Maker. If it bites you, even if you survive, it will cause irreversible damage to your kidneys.
Of course, this is not the reason why he kept it secretly. The reason is that this snake is included in the “National Red List of Biodiversity”, so he dare not sell it.
The whole village eats after being bitten.
Selling the bottom of the prison.
I am reluctant to let go.
In the end, Shao Zifeng compromised. He wanted to refuse, but the other party offered too much. He was just a poor student who needed to support himself with his hands.
After school, Shao Zifeng hurried back to the rental house, buying dinner and two-color **** as usual on the way.
Yes, ever since he bought a scratch card and won 300 yuan under the bewitching of his friends, Shao Zifeng always thought that he could win the big prize and reach the pinnacle of his life.
Live a retirement life ahead of time, buy your mother a big room with a yard, and hire a few people to help take care of the stray pets her old man takes care of.
But the reality gave him a heavy slap in the face, even so, he would still buy a bet on two-color **** every issue, what if?
After returning to the rental house, Shao Zifeng picked up his notebook and got busy before having dinner.
Walking to the snake cabinet, he opened a drawer, carefully held the little snake in his hand, and carefully observed it.
This is a milky white snake with golden yellow spots. Its smooth and slender body is densely covered with fine scales. There is an arrow-shaped pattern on the top of the head. The direction of the arrow points to the tip of the nose. The color of the upper and lower lips is lighter. The scales on the side and different color bands form scale-like patterns, the pupils are round, and they have ruby-like eyes.
“Albino corn snake, sub-adult, the temperature in the box is 23 degrees Celsius…”
Putting the snake back in the drawer, Shao Zifeng bit the cap of the pen in his mouth and carefully recorded it in the notebook with the pen.
This is a habit he has developed since he came into contact with the crawling pen. For the pets he has raised, he will record everything from individual breeds to developmental conditions and even feeding time.
After recording all the items, feed the snakes whose eating time is according to the numbers.
The food was baby white mice specially bought online, of course they were dead, after all, he thought he was a little caring, and he couldn’t feed them with live animals himself.
Snakes eat fairly easily. The larvae are fed twice a week, the subadults are fed once a week, and the adult body is hardened. Any few days will do.
After serving the men in the snake cabinet, Shao Zifeng came to the square fish tank in the corner.
The bottom of the fish tank is covered with a thick layer of yellow sand, and a few rock-like stones and animal skeleton models are randomly placed on it. A lizard with a body length of about 20 cm is watching him stretch out with a vigilant face. big hands.
South African armadillo lizard, the whole body is dark yellow, there are 6 large scales with obvious squamous bones arranged side by side at the back of the head, and the scales with obvious squamous bones are also arranged in bands on the body and tail.
This is a very interesting lizard, once in danger, it will quickly get into the crevices of rocks to hide.
If caught accidentally, curl the head and tail into a ball to protect the soft belly.
Because of the difficulty in breeding, South African armadillo lizards are difficult to be exported, so they are often sold at high prices in China (a Chinese water dragon costs only a few hundred yuan, while tens of thousands of South African armadillo lizards are just like playing)
This was only a client who was interested, and Shao Zifeng got it with the help of his contacts in the circle. The sad thing is that the client hasn’t shown up since then.
Shao Zifeng looked at the South African armadillo lizard that was biting his tail into a ball and continued to stare at him cautiously, poked his rough scales with his fingers, and threw a little food beside him.
South African armadillo lizard: (°ー°〃)
After finishing all this work, he stretched heavily. He didn’t even want to eat and threw himself on the bed. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands to relieve the soreness in his eyes. I forgot something.
Pick up the phone and check the time…
“Oops, I forgot to deliver the goods.”
“Well…it’s okay to be a day late, right? After all, he didn’t set a time.” Shao Zifeng murmured to himself to comfort himself, and then he spread heavily on the bed.
After closing his eyes and taking a nap for half an hour, it was almost nine o’clock. He turned on the radio on his mobile phone and tuned to a radio channel he often listens to. As for why he often listens to this channel, of course it is because of the sweet and lovely anchor lady…
The winning numbers for each draw will be announced.
Putting the mobile phone and the lottery ticket together on the table, Shao Zifeng came to the drawer of the snake cabinet where the viper was kept in the snake cabinet with a blank face when the young lady announced her sweetly Only then did he elicit a smile from the round-spotted adder.
To be precise, he didn’t buy this snake from the channel, but it was given to him by a greasy uncle in the circle when he retired from the circle before when he was dealing with the inventory. Shao Zifeng, who had just opened the shop at that time, took over from the greasy middle-aged man The greasy middle-aged man was very happy with the juvenile snake, saying that he had a good thing in the bottom box, which was considered a personal gift.
Shao Zifeng still remembered the shock he received when he was looking up information and taking notes.
“Little guy, how about finding a new owner for you tomorrow.”
Shao Zifeng tightly pinched the triangular head of the Viper with his fingers. The Viper’s mouth was wide open, and two crystal fangs protruded from the soft flesh. With a hissing sound, the slender body tightly wrapped around his forearm~IndoMTL.com~The snake tail wrapped around his body again, and locked and strangled Shao Zifeng.
Shao Zifeng was unmoved, and even looked at it with a smile, as if he was looking at his fortune treasure balance.
“Listener friends, before you know it, it’s time to say good night again. According to the usual practice, before saying good night, Xiaoxin will broadcast the new two-color ball winning numbers for you. The winning numbers for this issue are 03, 06 , 17, 22, 25, 27, the last number 08… repeat below 03, 06…”
“Buzz”
Shao Zifeng felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, and the number announced by the anchor Xiaoxin’s sweet voice echoed in his ears, which was clearly the bet he was chasing.
“Hey! Alright! I’ve won!” Shao Zifeng quickly ran to the table and picked up the lottery ticket. The number on it was the winning number of this issue. Shao Zifeng was so excited that he didn’t even notice the round spot on his right hand. Viper bit his tiger’s mouth as early as he let go, and the venom rushed to the heart faster due to the excited and fast-flowing blood.
A sudden sense of dizziness interrupted Shao Zifeng who was in ecstasy. After recovering, he felt a sense of weightlessness in his mind. He lowered his head and looked at his right hand. Biting on the tiger’s mouth, a pair of snake eyes without any emotion looked at him, and he could even feel that the viper was still injecting venom into his body.
I wanted to lift my right arm but it weighed a thousand catties.
After staggering a few steps, the whole person fell heavily to the ground.
As if his mind was frozen, his mind became more and more blurred, and he could only vaguely feel that he was holding the viper and the winning ticket in both hands.
“I… I seem to have won a lottery…” And… this is the famous kidney-deficiency snake Viper!
“My kidney…”
