We have heard a lot of news about snakes attacking humans. Many of the cases are because humans accidentally broke into the snakes' territory and disturbed them, so the snakes took the initiative to attack! In the past, the old people in the village often told us that we should never offend snakes, especially venomous snakes, because they are very vindictive. If you hadn't killed it at that time, it would definitely come to seek revenge on you in the future. So do snakes really seek revenge?
Among the people, since snakes do not appear in our lives as often as daily poultry, the rumors about venomous snakes also scare people. So for dangerous and deadly things like snakes, you can always hear a lot of legends about them. People will say that snakes know the way, and if they are placed relatively close, they can return quickly; some people even say that we cannot hit snakes. If we offend snakes, snakes will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against humans, etc.
So is it true that snakes will retaliate? Let’s look at a case next!
html Four years ago, a man killed 73 venomous snakes. Five years later, he was bitten by venomous snakes and died tragically. Do snakes really hold grudges?
On July 15th of the lunar calendar in 1991, a group of snakes suddenly sprang out of the grass while hissing and spitting messages. The group of snakes had only one target, and that was the villager who was working in the fields - Cheng Diming! Cheng Diming was obviously frightened by the sight in front of him, and he immediately waved the hoe in his hand to resist, but more and more snakes gathered, and eventually Cheng Diming died in Shekou .
After Cheng Diming was bitten by a poisonous snake and died, his wife buried him in the nearby woods. But what no one expected was that even after his death, the poisonous snake had no intention of letting him go. In the next few years, Cheng Diming's cemetery will be home to a large number of snakes in the summer. Therefore, Cheng Diming's tomb also got a nickname, called "Lichuan Snake Tomb".
So what exactly did Cheng Diming do that caused him to be attacked by a group of poisonous snakes and died, and the poisonous snakes did not intend to let him go after his death? It turns out that Cheng Diming was born in a mountain village in , Shizi Township, which has always maintained its original natural features and has a humid climate, which is very suitable for the survival of snakes. Therefore, there has always been a local habit of catching snakes to eat, and Cheng Diming happens to be a master at catching snakes! The price of venomous snakes was once high, and Cheng Diming relied on his skills in catching venomous snakes to bring a lot of profits to his life.
Then one day, Cheng Diming and his two friends killed a small venomous snake - Red Pheasant Neck Snake in the mountains. He found that he seemed to be targeted by a venomous snake. More and more red-flowered pheasant-neck snakes began to appear in the sight of the three. The three were forced to have no choice but to strangle the snakes desperately, otherwise the three of them would die.

It is amazing to say that the three of them fought their way through with brute strength and finally saved a small life; After their calculations, the three of them killed 73 venomous snakes in total. This incident was once widely spread in the village, and Cheng Diming became famous for it. In the following years, Cheng Diming was attacked by snakes many times while catching snakes, and almost lost his life several times. Afterwards, he planned to wash his hands and stop catching snakes. But the snake seemed not to let him go, so the scene at the beginning of the story happened.
Will snakes really take revenge? Regarding Cheng Diming being revenged by snakes and being attacked and killed, experts gave the following explanation!
Generally speaking, snakes are not higher animals. Although there are many types of snakes and they are widely distributed around the world, among many biological groups, snakes are not ranked high. If we compare them with birds, birds are ranked higher than snakes. Snakes have a keen sense of smell, but their eyesight is really poor. They mainly rely on ground vibrations and a sensitive sense of smell to perceive the outside world.
The behavior of snakes is largely due to biological instinct, and they will actively attack people. This is also because the human body is marked and contaminated with some special smell.Snakes will attack based on this smell, even if you don't actively disturb the snake. Therefore, the legends related to snakes that are widely circulated among the people are all false. The main reason is that snakes rarely appear and the probability of being discovered is very small, which is mostly caused by the fear of snakes. As for snakes taking revenge and taking revenge, these are just legends and stories, which are completely baseless. Snakes have not developed to this level yet, so there is no need to worry about snake revenge.
