One day in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Pengju wanted to go to the city to see his son, and strolled on his way.

Passing through a small forest, Zhang Pengju saw a red-patterned snake curling by the roadside, motionless and frozen. Zhang Pengju stopped, moved with compassion, and thought: Good luck is a life.

Zhang Pengju took off his long gown, spread it on the ground, picked up the snake with a branch, put it on the gown, wrapped it, wrapped the sleeve back and forth, tied a knot, and held it in his hand. Zhang Pengju thought of the Guandi Temple outside the city, and took advantage of the ashes sold at the temple fair to warm the snake and send it to an open place to let it go. This is another good deed in this life.

It was bustling in front of the Guandi Temple, and Zhang Pengju followed the shouts and quickly found a stall selling Hu spicy soup. Zhang Pengju picked a suitable seat and put the bag on the fire. After sitting down, he ordered a bowl of Hu spicy soup and drank it slowly, paying attention to the bag in front of his feet while drinking, and constantly adjusting his position with his toes. He was worried that it would be ineffective if he was far away from the fire, and he would burn the snake if he got close.

After Zhang Pengju finished drinking Hu spicy soup, he saw the bag move and knew that the snake had woken up. He checked the bill, took the bag, and walked to the sand hill behind the Guandi Temple.

Zhang Pengju came to the sand hill, slowly untied his jacket sleeves, and flipped it to the ground. Who knew that with a "whoosh" sound, the snake jumped up quickly and bit Zhang Pengju fiercely. In the blink of an eye, the snake had disappeared.

Zhang Pengju suddenly felt dizzy and knew that something was wrong. He staggered down the sand hill, just happened to see a real-world friend, and shouted for help.

Seeing that he was Zhang Dashan, the man hurriedly went over to ask about the situation. Without saying a word, he took big strides on his back and rushed to the "herbal hall" in the city.

Boss Zhang was fiddling with the medicinal herbs when he saw his father being carried in, and he was taken aback. After listening to the rescue, Boss Zhang took out a silver needle to rescue him on the spot and pricked a few key acupuncture points to temporarily stop the spread of snake venom.

Boss Zhang took a closer look at his father's injury and couldn't help but frown. Judging from the marks left by the snake teeth, it was a venomous snake called "Three Days Dead" that bit his father. Although the venom did not attack as quickly as a venomous snake like Five Steps Down, if there was no special antidote, the injured person would die within three days.

The only antidote was to catch the wounding snake, soak it in a high concentration of Baijiu, fish it out and cut it off after an hour, roast it in a casserole and grind it, rinse it in water for the injured to drink, and fight poison with poison to save life.

But how easy is it to catch the venomous snake that bit my father?

Boss Zhang found a bottle of balm that his master had passed to him, took three coins and put them in a bowl. He pierced his father's fingertip with a silver needle, squeezed out twelve drops of blood, reconciled the blood with the balm, and brought a man to the sand hill. He placed the bowl on the ground.

If the "Three Days Dead" that bit its father was still within two miles, it would smell the mixed smell of balm and human blood, and would be attracted by the smell and crawl over to lick it. As soon as its tongue licked the balm, the anesthetic contained in it would make it unconscious immediately.

Thankfully, the snake didn't go far, but curled up in a sand hole not far from the balm bowl to escape the cold. As soon as Boss Zhang and his buddies hid behind a crooked willow tree, the snake smelled a strong aroma.

"Three Days to Die" couldn't help but get excited. He stretched out his lower body, ignoring the danger of being frozen again, it couldn't wait to get out of the sand hole and crawl towards the balm bowl. As soon as his tongue licked the balm, his whole body was soft and unconscious.

The man opened the wine jar he had brought, put the snake in the wine jar, and covered it. Boss Zhang took out a "Time Incense" and lit it. He held it in his hand and let out a long breath, thinking that his father was saved.

Boss Zhang and his buddies returned to the pharmacy, inserted Shi Chenxiang into the incense burner, prepared a cutting board and casserole, and cut the snake after the "Shi Chenxiang" was finished burning. At that time, someone outside grabbed the medicine, and Boss Zhang saw that the Shi Chenxiang was still half burned, so he went out to grab the medicine for others.

When he sent away the person who was grabbing the medicine, he went into the inner room and saw that the time incense had just finished burning, so he opened the lid of the wine urn. Boss Zhang never dreamed that the snake that had been soaked in the wine urn for two hours was still alive. Just as he clamped the snake's neck, the snake jumped out of the wine urn like lightning, bit Boss Zhang's chin, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

The "Three Days Dead" jumped out of the pharmacy and crawled into the sewer nearby. It crawled along the sewer and suddenly felt a hint of warmth. It crawled out along a gap and saw a large pile of firewood, and crawled into the firewood.

It turned out that "Three Days to Die" had inadvertently arrived in the back kitchen of the "Delicious House." Zhang Pengju's youngest son, Zhang Laoer, was busy at the side of the case. Seeing that the firepower was not enough, he hurried to get the firewood and saw a snake lying under the firewood at a glance.

Second, Brother Zhang quietly approached the pile of firewood, his hand was like electricity, he pinched the snake seven inches, and with a wave of the kitchen knife in the other hand, he quickly cut off the snake's head. Second Brother Zhang laughed: "I can eat braised snake silk today."

Then, he put the snake body on the chopping board and went to pick up the snake head, who knew that the snake head was not dead, and bit Zhang Laoer's wrist in one bite. Zhang Laoer screamed in pain, and several guys rushed over, some with fire pliers, some with sticks, and finally knocked the snake head off. Zhang Laoer's face was ashen, and he asked the guys to send him, the dead snake, and the snake head to his brother's "herbal hall."

When they arrived at the "Herb Hall", the two brothers chatted, and Boss Zhang was dumbfounded. It turned out that to treat the "three-day death" bite, the live snake that had been licked with balm had to be soaked in Baijiu for two hours, and the snake had just been soaked to death. Now that Second Zhang had slashed "three days to death," it was equivalent to cutting off the survival of the father and son.

Boss Zhang let out a long sigh, stuck his brother's acupuncture point with a silver needle, and said, "Let it be."

Boss Zhang did not understand why the snake did not die after being soaked ine for two hours according to the recipe handed down by his master. He dug out his master's recipe from the pile of old papers and checked it repeatedly, but didn't find anything wrong with what he had done.

At this time, Zhang Pengju spoke: "Don't turn it over, it's all my fault. I'm worried that the snake will be uncomfortable in the wine urn, so it's better to let it get out of the sea of misery earlier and cut off the Shi Chenxiang..."

At this time, no one noticed that the body of the dead snake and the snake head on the ground moved, making do with each other, and soon they connected together, and the snake was alive again! It quietly drilled into the sewer.

When he passed the balm bowl by the door, he twisted his head and couldn't help but lick it. With this lick, the snake fainted again. A sharp-eyed man saw this scene and flew forward, picked up the complete snake, and threw it into the wine urn.

Seeing this, Boss Zhang couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "It's true that the sky has eyes, we are saved!"

Zhang Pengju couldn't help but be stunned: "It seems that this venomous snake really can't be saved!"
