One day when I came home from work, tens of meters away from it, I heard the orange cat at home "meow, meow" on the side of the house, and I thought to myself, what is it called? And there was clearly a smell of fear in that voice, could there be other cats coming?
Then take a look at it, oh! On the ground outside the kitchen was a snake, about half a meter long, light gray all over, with thin black transverse stripes on its back. He was half-holding his head high, twisting his body, spitting out letters, and confronting the cat! What about cats? His whole body was trembling, whimpering and half retreating. Who knows, when it saw me coming, it had the courage to grow, and immediately set up a provocative posture, stretching out its claws and whirring towards the snake. This is really a "cat fight"! Seeing this, I immediately said, "Mimi, don't catch it, come here, I'll get you something delicious." "Saying that, I grabbed the back of the cat's neck, picked her up and put her aside, and gave her some cat food, and Mimi ate it fragrantly, no longer caring about the snake, which broke the siege."

I turned to look at the snake, still standing still, and I said, "I've already helped you get rid of the cat, so go play somewhere else!" As if it understood, it turned around and slowly swam toward the ditch to the left of the kitchen, after which it was gone. This kind of snake, more common, the head is round, we locally call the scale rod snake, the scientific name is "Chinese small head snake", is non-venomous. Attach a picture, let's see if it's right? Also, have friends ever seen this snake?
