On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 701 The Enmity Grows Deeper
Xia Qing slowly closed her open mouth.

When the leader wolf sent this wolf with a broken spine to be treated last year, he gave Xia Qing four pieces of Yi stone and a bag of herbs at one time.

Xia Qing didn't realize the importance of this wolf to the northern wolf pack at that time, but now she understands it completely.

This wolf is as powerful as the leader.

It doesn't necessarily understand what humans describe as "ecological balance," but it sees the video of a honey badger catching a venomous snake.

As the number of killer snakes in the area increased, the python and the killer snake alliance became stronger, and the wolf pack was at a disadvantage. As a smart wolf in the pack, it took the initiative to find a solution during the period when the alpha wolf was pregnant and raising cubs.

It's not surprising that a brain-evolved wolf that knows how to domesticate wild boars, raise smart sheep, and know how to trade with humans has captured the natural enemy of snakes, the honey badger, from other areas to reduce the number of snake killers that has increased sharply in the northern evolutionary forest... right?

No wonder a honey badger suddenly appeared near the third peak of Mountain No. 50. No wonder this arrogant honey badger turned around and ran away when he saw the black wolf.

After Xia Qing digested the shock, he asked, "Broken waist, did you catch this one honey badger? Wouldn't the honey badger die after eating the snake?"

The broken-waisted wolf did not answer Xia Qing's question. It retracted its pointed fangs and turned to continue studying the video.

An hour later, the Broken-Waisted Wolf, wearing the snakeskin protective suit that Xia Qing had cleaned, carrying a roast duck on his back and a bag of freeze-dried food in his side pocket, walked out of the security door and was about to pick up the honey badger under the eaves outside the security door.

To prevent mosquitoes, Xia Qing installed a screen door outside the security door. Because the screen door is directly next to the security door, mosquitoes will still run into the house when the door is opened or closed, so Xia Qing optimized the screen door this year.

She ordered a rectangular wooden frame with the same length and height as the security door and a width of 1.5 meters. One side of the wooden frame is close to the security door, with a screen door on the outside and thickened insect-proof nets on the other three sides. This is equivalent to making a disinfection channel and mosquito buffer zone outside the security door.

Every time Boss Sheep entered the house, he would first go through the screen door, then rinse his feet in the basin of water beside the door, then rub his hooves on the straw mat next to him, and finally push open the security door and go in.

Xia Qing taught this process once, and Yang Lao Da learned it. Because she taught him by holding up a piece of delicious green bamboo shoots, Yang Lao Da learned it with extra care.

Broken-back wolf?
After seeing Boss Yang walk through it once, he learned it by himself.

Xia Qing took the lead and picked up the little honey badger. "This guy just caught a poisonous snake, and there may be venom on his fur. You have to take care of the wolf cubs when you go home. I will take Little Flathead back to Area 3 of Hill 49."

A man and a wolf left the human territory and entered Area 3 of Mountain 49. Xia Qing placed the little honey badger under a big pine tree. The broken-waisted wolf sniffed the little honey badger again and looked up at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing nodded, "I understand. This little honey badger is your companion. I won't hurt it."

The Broken-Waisted Wolf showed his pointed fangs and smiled, then set off with the roast duck and freeze-dried food.

After it disappeared, Xia Qing decided to call his idol, "Third brother, can honey badgers resist the poison of snakes?"

Although I can't see what's so strong about this little honey badger, the fact that it is valued so much by the Broken-Waisted Wolf shows that it is not ordinary.

Zhang San must be doing research. His voice was clear as he answered patiently, "The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nerve endings of honey badgers have mutated and evolved the ability to not bind to neurotoxins. In addition, there is a special enzyme in its blood that can break down and neutralize harmful components in snake venom. Therefore, honey badgers have a high resistance to the neurotoxins and blood toxins of venomous snakes."

"Two years ago, a research institute in Lancheng applied for a research project on the resistance of honey badgers to viper venom. I haven't seen them publish their research results yet. Where did you find the honey badger?" Xia Qing didn't mention that this honey badger was caught by a broken-waisted wolf, because it was too outrageous. She was afraid that people other than her idol would hear about it and catch the broken-waisted wolf for research. "The day I went to dig bamboo shoots, I found a honey badger at the foot of the third peak of the 50th Mountain. Today, this honey badger ran to the third area of ​​the 49th Mountain, ate half a pit viper and fell asleep due to poisoning."

"The two places where the honey badgers appeared are exactly the areas where we found the snake killer, so I wanted to ask you if this is possible."

Zhang San was very interested. "You stay there and I'll ask Zhang Song to go over there right away."

"Third brother." Xia Qing asked seriously, "Can't we capture this honey badger and take it to Territory No. 7? It's a companion of the wolf pack."

Ok?
Zhang San lifted his glasses and asked, "Are you sure it's a companion, not food?"

Wolves are one of the natural enemies of honey badgers.

Xia Qing did not mention the Broken Waist Wolf. "I am sure. Later, when I went to move bamboo, I saw the black wolf from the northern wolf pack and this honey badger together. It was the day I brought you the herbs."

Zhang Song, who was carried over by Huo Jun, took off his protective mask, leaned against a big pine tree to relax for a while, then put on special gloves and began to examine the honey badger that was poisoned by the pit viper.

Xia Qing asked, "Brother Song, is this honey badger okay?"

Zhang Song answered very professionally, "Judging from its teeth, this honey badger should have been born last spring. It was young and inexperienced that it preyed on the evolved pit viper, whose venom contains both hemotoxins and neurotoxins, and swallowed the pit viper's venom sac. It was lucky not to be poisoned to death. Judging from its vital signs, it will wake up in an hour at most."

After that, Zhang Song measured the honey badger's physical data in detail, and took samples of its blood, saliva, fur, and even dandruff. Finally, he put half of the pit viper into the sample box and slowly stood up. "There are all kinds of dangers in the wild of the Evolution Forest. Miss Xia had better not stay here and return to the territory as soon as possible."

"Sister Qing, let's go." The mission had been completed. Huo Jun, who was responsible for protecting Zhang Song, reached out and picked him up, ready to return to the territory.

It was night time now. Zhang Song, who was carried by Huo Zhun, did not ask to walk back by himself. He just humbly asked Huo Zhun, "Brother Huo, we are not in a hurry. Can you not jump back?"

"Okay." Huo Jun was very easy to talk to. At Zhang Song's request, he gave up the faster and more energy-saving jumping method and ran with him on his back.

After they walked away, Xia Qing checked the needle holes on the little honey badger. After confirming that the needle holes were not red or swollen, he sprayed it with some insect repellent spray. Finally, he touched its head and made a wish, "Little Flathead, you have to do your best. It's up to you to eliminate the snakes in this area."

If honey badgers can eliminate snakes, humans will no longer have to waste manpower, financial resources and material resources on this matter. They can concentrate on production and farming so that more people can have enough food to eat and survive.

Half an hour after Xia Qing left, the poison in the little honey badger's body eased and it woke up. It stretched and rubbed in the soil for a while, and then it felt hungry.

If you are hungry, you need to eat.

The little honey badger rolled over and stood up, turned around, but couldn't find the piece of meat that he hadn't finished eating before going to bed!!!
The little honey badger was so angry that it was breathing heavily. It sniffed carefully and quickly locked onto the enemy who stole its prey. It followed the scent to seek revenge, but was stopped outside the north gate of the iron mesh wall of the northern area of ​​human territory.

Looking through the camera at the little honey badger going crazy outside the north gate, Xia Qing whispered to Sheep Boss, "Will it think I stole its prey?"

This hatred is getting deeper and deeper.
