In Hubei Province, there is a villager named Cheng Di Min, in front of his cemetery, every year, from April to July, there will be a group of snakes coming to gather here, and everyone says this is the revenge snakes.

It is said that everything has a spirit, and we should be kind to animals and nature in harmony and friendship, so if we humans do something to some animals to hurt them, will they be retaliated? Some people say no, but others say that if you don't treat animals well or mistreat them, you will get their revenge one day!

Soak a year of snake wine, snakes are still able to bite people?

In 2001, a villager in Guangxi caught a snake in the mountains, so he took the snake to make wine. A year later, he opened the lid, and want to take out the snake wine to taste it, but did not expect that the snake has been soaked for a year snake wine, actually "back from the dead" jumped up and bit him, and later the villager died because the rescue was not timely.

It is difficult to imagine that a snake has been soaking a year of snake wine, actually "back from the dead", so how is this the case? And some local villagers feel that this is the snake's revenge!

Snake gathering, why exactly?

In Lichuan City, Hubei Province, the village of democracy in the lion dam, there is a famous attraction, is, "Lichuan snake tomb". It is said that every year from April to July, snakes will come here to gather, as if they are holding some kind of mysterious ceremony, until a certain time, and will disappear, so what is this all about? It all starts with that event.

The Chinese always talk about "rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to eat water, rely on the sea to eat the sea" is about local resources, after all, both in the past and now, there are still many poor places, those poor places, there is not much choice, in general, will be based on their surroundings to make a living choice.

Cheng Di Ming is also the same, his ancestors have always been to catch snakes for a living, the local environment, and the air is humid, and the forest is particularly large, which is conducive to the reproduction and growth of snakes.

So some local villagers rely on fishing for a living, they caught the snake, out to those who buy, to earn some money to subsidize the family, which is a good way to make a living in the local.

After growing up Cheng Di Ming followed his father to learn the skills of snake catching, also continue to do this business, and with the growth of time, he also became a local famous snake catcher.

At that time, many people bought snakes, and the price of capturing a venomous snake can reach 30 yuan when the civil service salary is only a hundred yuan, so in that case, catching a venomous snake, earn more money than civil servants.

Cheng Di Ming earned a lot of money by catching snakes, and became famous in the local area, all the people envied him, and then some people wanted to follow him to learn the skills of snake catching, hoping to earn more money as he did.

Then Cheng Di Ming took 2 disciples, one called "Zhou Bangjun" and the other called "Qu Yihua", one day, Cheng Di Ming took the two of them together to the mountains to catch snakes, giving them the skills of snake catching.

The weather was sunny that day, so the three people went up the mountain, along the way Cheng Di Ming while talking, teaching them the experience of snake catching. But at this time, but I do not know why a snake, suddenly jumped out of the grass, scaring all of them a big jump.

Cheng Di Ming itself is the snake catcher, himself by the snake to be scared, in front of 2 people made a fool of himself, inevitably feel some shame, so quickly killed the snake with tools, which is to find a little face.

He continued to educate the 2 people, who knew that the grass came a rustling sound, it did not take long, there are seven or eight snakes from the grass inside leaped out, rushing to attack the 3 people. After so many years of snake catching Cheng Di Ming suffers this kind of gas, soon angry, draws up the wooden stick in their hand towards the snake in front of him to fight.

Finally, the 8 snakes were killed by him, and the other 2 people did not have much contact with snakes before, Seeing the scene, some were stunned. When the three people were in shock, inside the grass, there came out a rustling sound

The next second they did not expect, a large group of snakes from all sides of the location, to the three people surrounded, even experienced Cheng Di Ming was also scared. Although in his snake hunting career, killed snakes of all sizes, never a day like today, saw such a sight.

There is no choice, the people had to copy the tools to fight, those snakes are very scary, kill a group, up another group, the people are killing crazy eyes.

Finally, it was not easy to kill all these snakes, full of snake bodies, the crowd counted after the discovery, and there are 73 as many.

I don't know why all these snakes suddenly jumped out, and still a large group, they can't figure out what the reason is.

Later 3 people ran down the mountain, but also told the people inside the village what happened today, the village inside the people do not believe it, and the next day also especially up the mountain to see, the results found that they said and the situation is consistent. The villagers were also taken aback, at that time, because the matter was spreading, so some reporters came here to cover the story.

Inside the village, an old man said to Cheng Di Ming, you should not go up the mountain again to catch snakes, you cut down so many snakes, and offended them, be careful they retaliate against you.

Cheng Di Ming thought about this time, indeed a bit strange, and heard the village of the old man say so, they listened to each other's advice, so they stopped and did not continue to catch snakes.

But later, the snake's price rose again, and Cheng Di Ming honestly farming but can not earn any money, so here under the prompting, he later again did the snake catching work.

But this time is not as lucky as before, the beginning the snake bite, and the next time inside, he was always a big and small snake bite more than 50 times, and almost rescued.

But such things have never happened before, it must be said that here reveals a bit of evil, someone advised him not to catch snakes, he experienced these things, decided to stop, but this time it is too late.

Wherever he went, snakes would come out and attack him, and he was suffering, but there was nothing he could do about it.

One day in August 1991, he was working in the field with his wife, when she went back to cook dinner, leaving him behind.

There were several killed snakes around him, so it was obvious that Cheng Di Ming was bitten by a snake, and the strange thing was that his son, who was a few years old at the time, was playing not far away, but he did not hear any sound or movement to save his life, so people thought it was very strange.

However, the strange thing is not only this, the villagers think Cheng Di Ming is killing too many snakes, which was the snake's revenge, so his wife soon buried him.

After that, in his cemetery do not know why there will be so many snakes, especially from April to July every year, those snakes out of nowhere, came to Cheng Di Ming's cemetery, where gathered, as if in a mysterious ceremony. Gradually, the local people called this place "Lichuan Snake Tomb".

From his case, many people will feel that this is from the snake's revenge, otherwise how can so many snakes bite him, and after his death, those snakes still come to his grave, the party? Only revenge can be justified.

But in fact, snakes belong to a reptile, is a lower animal, in their brains are not able to produce emotions with the part, so there will be no revenge what high-level emotions.

This is because the IQ decision, related to brain power, higher animals, it is possible to produce such psychological revenge, as, for the lower animals, even the basic emotions such as happiness, anger, sadness, and joy will not have.

As for some reptiles, by the master's instructions to make the corresponding action, it is because once trained, the formation of a conditioned response, not that they are smart, even earthworms after a certain amount of training can be like the formation of such conditioned reflexes, not to mention the snake.

So don't overestimate the intelligence of snakes.

Some people like to soak snake wine, did not think after a year, was bitten by the snake inside, which is not the snake's revenge, but because the snake can survive in a hostile environment, especially when they encounter a hostile environment, will begin to enter a state similar to hibernation, can not eat or drink, still be able to spend sad by consuming their energy.

So is the snake that was soaked in snake wine, only to enter a state of hibernation, but did not die, just waiting for the right time to give a blow.
