The days of being a cat in Japan

Sha La La, Sha La La, Sha La La.

In the grass not far away, the sound that can only be made when swimming and crawling sounded again.

The noisy sound of playing football with the big golden retriever in the grass stopped the waving chicken feet, turned his head to adjust the direction, and began to listen carefully.

Seeing this, the big golden retriever wearing a bite-resistant mask stepped on the old tennis ball under his paws, raised his head slightly and barked a few times towards the noisy side.

"Wang woo~, Noisy what are you listening to?"

Hearing the big golden retriever's call, the white feather chicken's wings moved slightly a few times, signaling the big golden retriever on the opposite side to be quiet.

Afterwards, it turned its head sideways and listened carefully for a while, and then said with certainty: "Uncle Zhong, there are noises in the grass over there. It seems that something is crawling. I can hear it very clearly."

Hearing this, the big golden retriever flicked its big fluffy tail and whimpered a few times.

It means that there is probably some small animal hiding there, don't worry about it, it will naturally leave when it sees a lot of people here.

Noisy heard the words and thought it was the same, this county town was the domain of his adoptive father.

Because of the little dad, anything that might pose a threat to a creature of the size of a cat has been cleared out by its adoptive father, so this place has always been very safe.

Thinking of the noise here, he ignored the creature that could only swim and crawl in the grass, and began to concentrate on playing ball with Ah Zhong again.

The two of them are playing the game of catching and tossing the ball. Because Ah Zhong is wearing a mask on his face, this time they are kicking the ball around on the ground to see who can step on it quickly.

Noisy kicked the ball over, and the big golden retriever happily held it down with its paws.

Afterwards, I changed it to tee off, but the excited golden retriever accidentally used too much force, and the direction of the ball deviated a lot.

The white-feathered chicken with two legs crossed didn't pay attention, and the old tennis ball slipped through the gap between its two legs.

Noisy, who failed to catch the ball directly, hurriedly chased after the ball, and followed the old tennis ball into the bushes not far away.

Seeing the old tennis balls rolling and stopping not far away, Noisy happily ran over.

No sooner had he stepped on the ball under his feet than he felt a chill rising from his back.

This is a skill that has been honed after being beaten countless times by Mo Zhui. It is similar to the sixth sense of human beings, and can give it an early warning when it is in danger.

Noisy, who originally focused all his attention on the old tennis ball, immediately raised his head and looked around, and then he felt that the wind on his right was not right.

No time to think about anything, Noisy jumped up quickly based on instinct, and hid in another direction.

Immediately, it felt something slipping past its right wing, followed by the click sound of the upper and lower jaws merging together quickly.

Noisy, which jumped to the side to avoid a blow, did not wait for death. After landing, it quickly ran forward a few steps, and after drawing a certain distance from the thing that attacked itself, it quickly turned around to see what it was. Stuff is attacking itself.

Immediately it saw a big snake coiled behind it.

The one who attacked Noisy was a big snake more than one meter long and the thickness of a bowl's mouth. Most of the snake's body was brown, with thin scales on the back of the head, forming dark brown markings in the shape of an inverted V.

There are cheek sockets on both sides of the snake's head, and a dark brown marking from the back of the eyes to the side of the neck.The upper and lower lips are light in color, and there are parallel dark brown stripes on both sides of the dorsal midline, and the left and right edges are connected to form wavy longitudinal stripes, and there are irregular small spots on both sides of the ripples.

After the snake missed a hit, it didn't continue to attack Noisy, but curled up and coiled on the ground, stretched out its head and kept winding towards Noisy, sticking out its tongue, and kept sniffing towards Noisy. Come and sniff.

Noisy has seen a snake, not only saw it but also eaten it, not only eaten it but also killed it.

Birds and reptiles are natural enemies, each on top of each other's menus and recipes.

For adult poultry, snakes are a delicious and nutritious food, but their eggs and chicks are also a favorite delicacy for snakes.

Whether in the wild or in the city, as long as snakes and birds meet, they will be life and death.

Ever since he learned from the Fujimoto family that Noisy was likely to be sent back to the countryside, Mo became more targeted when training it.

Things like snakes, which are not very common in cities but can be seen everywhere in the countryside, were added to Noisy's recipes and hunting targets by Mo half a month ago.

For this reason, Xu Jie came here to help, but don't get me wrong, he didn't come here to help Mo train Noisy, but to teach him how to distinguish between poisonous and non-venomous snakes.

There are not many types of poisonous snakes in Japan, and several types of vipers are the most common.

Xu Jie held Mr. Fujimoto's Encyclopedia of Venomous Snakes and pointed at some of them, and taught them for several days, finally getting him to memorize them all.

But this time, the venomous snake that suddenly came out to attack it, Noisy said that he had never seen it before.

Although it looks very familiar, Noisy is sure that there is absolutely no such thing in the few pictures that my dad taught it.

But this does not prevent Noisy from knowing that he is facing a poisonous snake, because the opponent's triangular head shaped like a soldering iron has clearly marked its identity as a poisonous snake.

There is a poisonous snake here, don't let it hurt Dad, Uncle Zhong and Grandma Fujimoto.

After this thought flashed through Noisy's mind, the little white-feathered rooster immediately began to make warning calls.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa...

The people who attended the mother and sister meeting outside were very surprised when they heard the sound. They didn't know why the little rooster who came with Grandma Fujimoto crowed suddenly, and the sound was so strange?

The raccoon cat, which had been lying on the large canvas to sleep, suddenly woke up when it heard the sound, because the noise inside meant: "Run, there is a snake, run."

Grandma Fujimoto who heard the loud crowing with Xu Jie was also surprised. She has raised chickens in the countryside for decades and knows the meaning of the birds' crows very well.

Oh, oh, oh, this kind of crowing is usually not made by chickens. If it is made, it means that something has happened.

If the hen calls like this, it is mostly after laying eggs.If the rooster crows like this, it must be frightened and reminding its companions.

The last time Grandma Fujimoto heard the rooster crowing was last summer.

At that time, a weasel burrowed into the hen's coop in broad daylight, and the rooster who guarded the coop found it and reminded the hens to run quickly, that's why they barked so anxiously and so loudly.

Noisy there, something will happen, right?

With this thought in mind, Xu Jie and Grandma Fujimoto stood up almost at the same time, wanting to go to the noisy side.

But before they could move, the white-feathered chicken jumped out of the bushes, flapped its wings, and yelled at the big golden retriever that was closest to it.

The stupid Ah Zhong was a little dazed, and just when he couldn't figure it out, a big snake jumped out right behind the noise.

Seeing the iconic soldering iron head of the big brown snake, Xu Jie blurted out in surprise: "Soldering iron head, how could such a thing appear here?"

But then it ignored other things, opened its mouth and yelled towards Noisy, "Noisy, Ah Zhong, run away, that thing is a soldering iron tip, it is extremely poisonous, and it is very likely that you will die if you bite it."

The scientific name of the soldering iron head is the former lancehead Agkistrodon, which is a very poisonous species among the vipers.

There are not many subtypes of this snake, but all of them are highly venomous. Xu Jie knew this kind of poisonous snake because of the Mangshan iron head, that is, the Mangshan lancehead Agkistrodon, a rare species unique to China.

Hearing Xu Jie's yell, Big Golden Retriever and Noisy both accelerated their running speed.

And the snake that jumped out suddenly caused a complete explosion in the small park.

Women naturally hate cold-blooded reptiles like snakes, not to mention that the ferocious appearance of a soldering iron head is not pleasing at all.

So after the big snake jumped out, the small park was immediately filled with screams.

The noisy and worried golden retriever who was running in front turned around and looked at it while running.

Then it found that the big snake, which dad called the iron head, actually bypassed the big golden retriever running in front of it, and chased straight in its direction.

Seeing this, Noisy quickly adjusted his direction, and began to sway left and right to make a positive and negative Z, hoping to get rid of the big snake behind him by this sudden change of direction.

But the snake at the back seemed to have identified Noisy, no matter how it changed direction, the big snake was only thrown away for a while.

After it finds its direction again, it will persevere in pursuit again.

After a few times of probing, Noisy found that the tip of the soldering iron seemed to have really recognized him, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it.

Although I don't know why this is the case, Noisy knows that it can't run forward.

Because in the front is the site of the mother and sister club, where grandma Fujimoto, little dad and many neighbors he is familiar with are all there.

The poisonous snake must not be brought to them, and it must not be hurt by them. This is the only thought in the white feather chicken's mind now.

So, knowing that there was a poisonous snake chasing after him, Noisy still stopped running.

He lowered his head and erected the feathers on his neck, exploded his wings and shook off his feathers. For the safety of his loved ones behind him, the little rooster, whose body was less than a third of the length of a soldering iron head, bravely chose to fight.
