With the improvement of people's living standards, everyone is increasingly pursuing spiritual sustenance, so the act of adopting pets is very common.
However, Hainan boy Huang Kaining's awareness of adopting a pet is very advanced, as early as the autumn of 1996, only 24 years old, he adopted a wild black python.
The human snake originated
Huang Kaining was born in 1972 in Hainan, due to the restrictions of transportation and other conditions at that time, the coconut village of Jiaji Town, Qionghai City, where he lived, has always been relatively isolated.
However, for the cottage, the closure is often the best protective color, and the natural scenery of the coconut village is absolutely first-class.
Therefore, Huang Kaining, who has lived in the landscape since childhood, has an instinctive affinity for nature, including the wild animals near the coconut village.
As Huang Kaining grew up, his "entanglement" with animals became deeper and deeper, so after discovering that his "little partner" was injured, he would take the initiative to provide some drug support within his ability. And his kindness also ushered in the opportunity to meet the black python.
In the autumn of 1996, Huang Kaining came to work in the betel nut garden as usual, perhaps due to fate, he casually glanced at a rock and saw a rock that was a little strange, and when he looked closer, he found a small python that had just been born from the rock.
Snakes still like to bask in the sun? It is reasonable to say that snake reptiles prefer to crawl in the dark underground, how can they climb on rocks "without paying any attention"?
Huang Kaining's experience in the usual days made Huang Kaining notice the abnormality of this small snake, which was not asleep, but was already dying due to the serious injury to its tail.
To save or not to save? You know, the snake is different from other animals, the snake's IQ is lower, the story of the farmer and the snake is never a lie, if you save it, what if you are bitten back?
Huang Kaining struggled a little, but he still chose to take the little snake home.
At first, Huang Kaining did not think of adopting the small snake, he just wanted to help the small snake treat the wound, so under the guidance of the local old Chinese medicine, Huang Kaining used hemostatic drugs to treat the wound of the small snake.
But the little snake was too badly injured to be sent away on the same day, and the delay was three months.
In November 1996, the small snake that Huang Kaining picked up had fully recovered, and under Huang Kaining's careful care, even if the small snake came to an unfamiliar environment, it still gained several pounds of weight.
At this time, it is the best time for the little snake to leave.
However, at this time, Huang Kaining was not happy, on the one hand, he understood that the destination of wild animals is still nature, and he cannot let the little snake lose the opportunity to return to nature because of his love.
On the other hand, he began to wonder, what if the little snake returned to nature and was hurt again? The little snake stayed day after day in Huang Kaining's daily entanglements.
With the increase of time spent with the little snake, Huang Kaining could not let go of the little snake, and finally made the decision to adopt the little snake.
However, Huang Kaining's decision caused an uproar in the small village. First and foremost was his mother, who could not allow her son to bring home a "murder weapon".
After all, in China's Hainan Province, especially in the villages rich in wildlife resources, everyone is not unfamiliar with snakes, and they have heard about the nature of snakes that "turn their faces and don't recognize people", how can they let their sons get along with a "restless" snake?
Of course, his relatives and neighbors are also quite critical. After all, how can the snake he raise only "plague" his family, who is not afraid of "hurting the pond fish" and being bitten by the snake?
In the face of everyone's various concerns, Huang Kaining still did not compromise, and finally, he decided to personally train the little snake, when the small snake does not bite people, will there be sufficient reason to stay?
The way to keep snakes
Training little snakes? In the face of everyone's doubts, Huang Kaining did not investigate carefully, and he hardened his scalp.
How to train a little snake? Huang Kaining did not blindly boast about Haikou, he first went to ask the elders who had seen and heard about this aspect to learn the scriptures, and then he slowly thought about it himself, and finally decided to train from the aspect of stopping the little snake from biting people.
Huang Kaining used the method of wrapping the towel in his arm to tease the snake to train the little snake, he first wrapped his arm in a thick coarse cloth towel, and then teased the little snake to bite his arm, if the little snake only bit the towel, it was qualified if he did not bite the arm.
As the little snake performed better and better, the towel on Huang Kaining's arm became thinner and thinner.
In 1997, Huang Kaining's little snake had already "learned to be a teacher".
At this time, the little snake and Huang Kaining "have a long-term love", not only accustomed to the name of "Xingcai", but also like to stick to Huang Kaining's side.
Even when Huang Kaining was in a bad mood, the python would crawl over and stay by his side quietly, motionless.
However, the little snake's affection for Huang Kaining did not stop there, it did not want to be with Huang Kaining all the time, even when sleeping, it had to sneak into Huang Kaining's bed.
If the door does not work, then climb the window, and the little snake always has a way to sneak into Huang Kaining's bedroom. In this regard, Huang Kaining is happy to see his success, which proves that the little snake he loves also likes to be close to him?
However, in the face of the little snake's inch-forward behavior, Huang Kaining's mother blushed sharply.
Promote good luck
You must know that Huang Kaining was 25 years old at that time, in 1997, people generally married at an early age, and his son "spent years" with the snake every day, how could any girl be willing to marry him?
In addition, at this time, some rumors began to circulate in the village, such as that the python was a monster who had been cultivating for a thousand years and wanted to go to the Huang family to repay the favor, and that the python would change into a beautiful woman and Huang Kaining to spend the night in the middle of the night.
In that era when science was not in place, such strange and somewhat ridiculous remarks made Huang Kaining's mother's heart sink even deeper.
Even though she had seen with her own eyes how her son had brought the python home and raised it, and how she had trained the little snake day by day, she still couldn't move her compassion and let her son and the little snake get along.
So she decided to urge her son to release the little snake back into nature.
The python Huang Xingcai, who was suddenly abandoned, was very confused in his heart, did not know why the master drove himself away, stayed for a long time, found that the master had really left him, and then slowly crawled to the distance.
Huang Kaining, who sent away the python, washed his face with tears every day, and he was really reluctant to let this python brother who had accompanied him for many years. In the face of his mother's urging to marry, he also had no intention of looking for his other half.
One night more than forty days later, when Huang Kaining slept, he felt the touch of the cool silk next to him, got up and turned on the light to see, it turned out to be the python Huang Xingcai returned.
This time, Huang Kaining was unwilling to abandon Huang Xingcai at all.
Seeing his resolute attitude, the mother thought that there might indeed be some wonderful fate, so she had to promise her son to keep the python.
However, the python can stay, but Huang Kaining must find a daughter-in-law to pass on the generations.
Although this is an old mother's worry about her son's marriage, she did not think that the little snake who had been blamed for delaying her son's marriage eventually became a matchmaker between her son and daughter-in-law.
It turns out that there are no secrets in the countryside, so the story of Huang Kaining and the little snake has always attracted much attention, and the Xiaolan girl in the next village is also one of them. With curiosity, she has been silently paying attention to Huang Kaining.
In 1998, when Miss Xiaolan went with her little sisters to see how the young man got along with the python, somehow, she was suddenly moved by the man who gently took care of the little snake.
Therefore, in the days that followed, Xiaolan girl gradually began to help Huang Kaining prepare the rations of the little snake, from catching mice to catching frogs.
The charm of a gentle man is unpredictable, and in 1999, Xiaolan girl gave up many concerns and entered the palace of marriage with Huang Kaining.
On the wedding day, Huang Kaining was rarely naïve, and he straightened up in front of his mother, who always urged marriage.
Guard each other
Huang Kaining is married, but his story with the little snake has just begun.
In 2000, Huang Kaining's eldest son was born, and at this time, Xingcai was no longer the one, just a small snake that could eat twenty or thirty rats.
It was huge, four meters long, weighing more than a hundred pounds, even if the rats within a few kilometers of the vicinity were almost caught by Huang Kaining, it still could not fill the belly of the python Huang Xingcai.
Today, it can eat several chickens in one meal. And Huang Xingcai is a python after all, unlike humans who can eat a few pounds of grains, as a pure carnivorous animal, its demand and requirements for food are very high.
Not only do you not like to eat a lot of things, but you also don't like to eat dead things. This is a heavy burden for Huang Kaining and his wife.
In addition, the son is too small, no matter how meek and obedient Huang Xingcai is, there is still a risk of not paying attention to swallowing the son, how dare Huang Kaining and his wife take this risk?
Therefore, this time Huang Kaining did not do much entanglement, he decided to send Huang Xingcai back to nature.
For the safety of his son, Huang Kaining sent away the python that had been with him, but his heart was not as peaceful as he thought.
On the contrary, the shadow of Xingcai seemed to be there all along, and he could not help himself sadly, but he could not help it, because the trace of the python Xingcai was nowhere to be found.
However, perhaps it was the fate of the underworld, Huang Kaining and the python did not say goodbye forever. The python found its way home again.
This time, Huang Kaining said that he would not send away the python again. The surprise that the python brought to Huang Kaining has just begun.
In the summer of 2001, in the quiet of the night, there was a scream, and the always docile Xingcai actually took the initiative to attack people!
The cause of the incident began with the dog in Huang Kaining's family who did not look after the nursing home. Coconut Village is located in a remote area, although the folk customs are simple, but there are still petty thefts.
For petty thieves, the main family has no dog is one of the conditions that must be stolen, after all, there is a dog, the main family is likely to be alarmed by the dog barking, so they find the Huang Kaining family in every way.
In addition, the thief did not intend to "confront" the main family, his target was only a small amount of money in the living room, but when he just walked into the Huang family's living room, he felt that he was tripped by a thick "rope" under his feet.
Just as he was about to leave, his feet were entangled, and before the thief could react, the whole person had been wrapped around a cold rope.
Huang Kaining's family was awakened by screams in their sleep, and turned on the light to find a person lying on the ground, who was entangled by Huang Xingcai.
Where has the thief ever seen such a battle? Frightened, he peed his pants and confessed the facts of the crime. Subsequently, he was sent to the local public security bureau.
The impact of this matter is very large, everyone's attitude towards the python has suddenly changed, it turns out that in addition to dogs can take care of the home, snakes can also.
In fact, huang Xingcai in the "nursing home" at the same time, but also part-time as the Huang family's "nanny", Huang Kaining's family is always busy with work, and the Huang family's children are still young and need to be taken care of.
At this time, Huang Xingcai has a "place of use", it is a "small train" that can drive children to play, and it is also the most loyal defender of children.
And the Children of the Huang Family and Huang Xingcai got along exceptionally smoothly. Therefore, when Huang Kaining and his wife are busy, they will hand over the child to the custody of the python Huang Xingcai, and at the end of the day, the child is still fine.
Once, Huang Kaining's son and the big python went to the river to play, met a small friend who was struggling with falling into the water, and went to the rescue, but he did not want the water in that place to be turbulent, and he was still a child, not only could not help his companion, but also almost took himself.
Fortunately, at this time, the python Huang Xingcai went into the water to help, and the two children successfully returned to the shore with the help of the power of the python.
This thrilling scene made many witnesses at the time red-eyed.
The boy had tears and did not flick, but in the face of his lost and recovered son, as well as Huang Xingcai, who heroically saved people, Huang Kaining's tears could not help but flow down.
Subsequently, the story of Huang Kaining and Huang Xingcai became more and more bizarre, coupled with the intentional dissemination of the media, their stories were known to more people.
In 2005, a businessman bid 150,000 yuan to buy Huang Xingcai as a pet, and in the face of such a temptation, Huang Kaining still refused without thinking.
It is true that the conditions of the Huang family at that time were very difficult, and the amount of food of the python Huang Xingcai was getting bigger and bigger, even if Huang Kaining cared for the python, it was still inevitable that the python would be hungry.
However, at this time, the python is no longer the huang family's pet, it is their relatives, how can they give up their relatives for money?
In December 2007, in order to feed the python, Huang Kaining began to take Huang Xingcai on stage to perform, and their performances spread all over the country.
Subsequently, Huang Kaining found 3 companions for Huang Xingcai and brought them to the local Baishi Ridge to breed together.
After that, Huang Kaining and his wife have expanded new business, they have raised dozens of cobras and other poisonous snakes, and through snake raising, they have embarked on a one-day entrepreneurial road?
Today, the Huang Kaining family has opened a zoo dedicated to the exhibition of snakes, of course, the highlight is the python Huang Xingcai. Some people have heard about this matter and come thousands of miles to see the wonderful landscape of this human-snake harmony.
With some more money, you can touch Huang Xingcai's scales or feed Huang Xingcai.
Although Huang Xingcai is now getting bigger and bigger, it has reached hundreds of pounds, but in the eyes of the Huang family, he is still docile and lovely.
Many people have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands to buy Huang Xingcai back as a pet. They were all rejected by the Huang family. You know, in the eyes of today's Huang family, Huang Xingcai is not only a docile python, but also a family member who has accompanied him for more than ten years.
When a reporter asked Huang Kaining's future plans, Huang Kaining replied happily that he would always raise Huang Xingcai and raise it to a thousand catties.
Man and nature may be like this, pay a piece of care and love, naturally will give back to you a thousand times over. If you throw a fist at this nature, then you must consider whether you can withstand the anger of nature's counterattack.
