The event passed
In May 22, strange things happened frequently in Santang Town, Nanning, not only the chickens and ducks at home often disappeared, but even the wells that had long dried up often made some movements.
In order to find out what the truth of the movement was, Mr. He went to the well, which didn't matter, only to see a python of dozens of catties circling inside.
This frightened Mr. He, and he quickly called the villagers to discuss how to deal with the python.
The source in this article is from Guangxi News Network, May 5, 22, but in order to improve the readability of the article, the details may be polished, please read sensibly, for reference only!
There are different opinions, and some villagers plan to seal the mouth of the well and let the python fend for itself.
There are also some villagers who want to rescue the python, but they are afraid that the python will bite people in the village.
After discussion, they finally decided to leave the python in the well, after all, they cared more about their own safety and that of their families.
But it's not okay to be hungry with a python like this, and the kind Mr. He doesn't want the python to die, so he feeds his native chickens to the python from time to time.
In this way, the python lived in the well and gained more and more weight.
But it didn't work to keep it like this, and in the end they decided to hand over the python to the local fire department to deal with.
Under the treatment of the fire department, the python hovering at the bottom of the well was quickly successfully recovered and sent to the relevant departments for inspection.
Why would the villagers protect a python that could cause harm to their lives?
Why did the python come here
The python is a non-venomous snake that mainly relies on its body to entangle its prey to death and then slowly swallow it into its belly.
Its diet is varied, ranging from small ones that can eat rats or amphibians, to large ones that can even swallow goats or deer.
Pythons generally live in the tropics and subtropics, and are also distributed in southern regions such as Guangdong and Guangxi on the mainland.
Under normal circumstances, pythons do not appear in people's living areas, but this time is an exception, why did pythons not only appear in the village, but even fell into dry wells?
The editor believes that this has a certain relationship with the Xi of pythons.
First of all, from the perspective of time, May is the season of spring flowers, and pythons have the Xi habit of hibernating, they are willing to find a safe place when hibernating, and dry wells are very suitable.
Of course, it is not excluded that the python accidentally fell into the well while looking for a place to hibernate, and then the python that could not get out spent a winter in it, and only wanted to escape from the dry well in the spring.
As for how it survived without eating or drinking for so long, the reason is actually very simple.
During hibernation, the snake's heartbeat drops to the lowest and can only meet the most basic consumption, while the python's basic metabolism at this time is also the lowest.
In addition, the python has been trapped in the dry well, the amount of activity is not large, and the consumption of body fat is naturally not much, which allows the python to be found after living in the dry well for a few months.
If this python appears near our house, what should we do, save it or not? Will there be retribution if we don't save it?
To save or not to save?
The answer is naturally to save, although it will make us feel frightened, but it will not really hurt our lives, so we still have to release them.
Besides, the python is a first-class protected animal in the mainland, and even if we don't save it, we can't give it a ride, otherwise we will be punished by the law.
Moreover, some of the python's recipes are harmful to humans, so pythons can also protect our human farms from being eaten by rats, which is helpful to human agriculture.
As for whether the snake has spirituality or not, it will take revenge on those who hurt it, which is even more nonsense.
Although in some regions the snake is regarded as one of the "five immortals", the snake is kept in awe.
But according to research, snakes themselves are short-sighted, and even if you stand in front of them, they may not be able to see your face clearly.
Despite their large size, pythons have very small brains, which means that snakes as a species simply can't remember much.
It can't even remember what humans look like, and it can't even see it clearly, so how can it take revenge on humans?
And most of the so-called snake retribution stories we see are just mysterious products that have been processed by people to put on snakes.
Now is a materialist society, and we have to look at these things with a scientific eye.
But even so, we are still afraid of snakes, and what if we are attacked by snakes one day?
What to do if you are attacked by a snake
It is true that although snakes do not actively attack people, there are still some people who lose their lives when attacked by snakes.
There are 2,500 species of snakes in the world, of which there are about 650 species of venomous snakes, and more than 300,000 people are bitten by venomous snakes every year, and the death toll is even 10%.
And even a python, which seems to pose no threat to humans, can still kill people.
One day in March 2017, a farmer in Indonesia was accidentally attacked by a python while continuing to work on a plantation at night.
He was attacked by a reticulated python that was more than 7 meters long, and the python not only strangled the farmer, but even swallowed the farmer in the belly.
The same happened to a woman in Indonesia's Sulawesi province who was inspecting her crops when she was attacked by a python.
It can be seen that as long as it is a snake, we must not take it lightly, and once we find it, we must face what may happen next with a spirit of twelve.
If we just look at the snake and the snake does not show any intention of attacking us, we can quietly retreat from it until we are out of the snake's range.
But what if we get bitten by a snake?
The first thing we have to do is to determine whether we have been bitten by a venomous snake or a non-venomous snake.
Poisonous snakes usually leave a pair or 3-4 fangs on our body, and the marks are usually accompanied by obvious swelling or ecchymosis.
But if it is not venomous, it will generally only leave two rows of jagged indentations on our body.
If it is a non-venomous snake bite, then congratulations, at least the small life is saved, and then in order to prevent the occurrence of bacterial infection, you still need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, so as not to cause the infection to die because of a moment of negligence.
If it is a venomous snake that bites you, it is best to follow these steps to treat the wound next.
The first point is to remember what the poisonous snake that bites you looks like, because the antivenom of each poisonous snake is different, and if you don't remember it, then it is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with half a foot.
What if we really can't remember what a venomous snake looks like?
After remembering what a venomous snake looks like, the next thing we need to do is to stop the venom from spreading in our body, and the easiest and most effective way is to tie the wound.
After being bitten by a venomous snake, we can use something like a cloth strip or strap to bandage the wound at the base to reduce venous return, thereby reducing the absorption of snake venom.
Of course, when taking this method, it is necessary to loosen the binding every 20 minutes to prevent tissue necrosis.
The second step is to expel the venom.
The easiest way to do this is to wash the venom out of the wound with your mouth, but be careful to make sure that there is no damage in our mouth when we take the venom.
And we also have to rinse our mouths with water after each venom wash.
When the above steps are completed, all we have to do is to rush to the hospital for a serum injection to make sure that we are not worried about our lives.
In fact, most snakes do not enter the human circle, and their numbers gradually decrease with changes in the environment and human hunting.
For snakes, we must have a certain sense of crisis, and at the same time, we must strengthen the protection of their living environment.
After all, the earth is not our human being, but a combination of multiple organisms, if the snake disappears completely, then the ecological balance of the earth will be completely broken, and eventually harm us human beings.
