Finding snakes in farmland will have a bad effect on crops at home?

The temperature has also soared in recent days. The weather forecast says that the highest temperature in different areas has exceeded 30 degrees. Standing outside in the sun and doing nothing in this weather will make you sweat. May 5 will usher in the long summer solar term, which also means that spring has passed and summer is about to kick off. Long summer, high temperature, long sunshine, many thunderstorms and crazy growth of crops. There are also some animals coming out for activities. Among them, there is a folk saying that "the river snake comes out". Then why can't snakes come into the house? The answer is not superstition, but the experience of the ancients.

Snakes are common animals in rural areas. When you go to work in the farmland, you often see the traces of snakes in the farmland or on the road. Usually when you see someone approaching, you will run away quickly. In some rural areas near mountainous areas, snakes are sometimes encountered at home. It is estimated that many children who grew up in the countryside have had this experience, and suddenly they will be shocked to see a snake in their own home. However, old people in rural areas often warn young people that snakes entering the house must not be beaten. Why is this happening? Does this make sense? Snakes came in many times at home, and the adults told us not to hurt the snakes that came in. Why can't the snake in the house beat it? I used to have doubts about this. I asked many old people in the village, and they made the following explanation.

Some old people talk about snakes entering the house. The dead relatives come back and want to see them again. Don't get hurt. The snake that enters the house is also called "Shuijiashan". If there is a snake in the house, that is a good thing. For example, this is a good omen for "taking money" at home. So some old people say that they can't be driven away and can't hurt them any more. Instead, they should "please" them This statement is not very credible. The snake will go home. There are two main reasons. One is for food, and the other is for survival. If there are many mice at home and snakes are the natural enemies of mice, go into the house and chase them. In addition, if the home is humid and there are caves suitable for snakes to live in, they will also come in and hide and settle down. The ancients said that snakes could not fight when they entered the house, mainly because they were afraid of being hurt by snakes.

Snakes are actually very afraid of people and will run away automatically when they see people. But if you hurt them, the snake will fight back. Snakes entering the house are non-toxic and poisonous, and other snakes have different attack abilities. Hurt them rashly if you don't understand, and you will be bitten if you provoke them. In order to prevent this from happening, we should stay away from them, not the sun, which is also a virtue advocated by the ancients. Snakes are terrible, but they are life. Don't get hurt easily.
