1oo38 New Urban Farmers Chapter 85: The Northern Viper and Qingshuiping
Upon the return of Chan Yuan and Zhang Guodong, Du Wenqiang immediately roared, "What are you doing, you little brat?"
This is inexplicable!
Zhang Guodong raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "Are you talking to me? Who do you think you are to yell at me like that?"
Annoying!
Are all of Li Ningguang's men this arrogant and unreasonable? Zhang Guodong was also getting annoyed. They used to run faster than rabbits when they encountered a bear, but now they're yelling at people?
Wang Zhen was initially puzzled as well, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with Wen Qiang? Why is he being so rude in front of the boss? After all, Zhang Guodong is the boss, not just an employee of Li Ningguang!"
But Zhang Guodong's sarcastic expression immediately changed.
Du Wenqiang and his associates were the same—bosses, or to put it bluntly, thugs. In the boss's eyes, they were just errand boys, with no real influence.
Du Wenqiang glared at Zhang Guodong with eyes blazing with fury.
"What?! You have no manners! Are all of Boss Li's men this rude?" Zhang Guodong retorted. "And Boss Li? Did you kill him to cover it up or something?"
Wang Zhen and Liu Dewang's expressions changed drastically.
Looking towards Du Wenqiang, he indeed couldn't see Li Ningguang anywhere and immediately glared at Du with hostility.
powerful.
With the two sides separated by bushes and other obstructions about 30 or 40 meters, it was really not easy to spot someone hiding.
"You're talking nonsense! Boss Wang Zhen has been bitten by a snake, come and take a look!" Du Wenqiang gritted his teeth as he glared at Zhang Guodong, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly said to Wang Zhen.
Both participated in wilderness survival training. However, Wang Zhen was more adept at dealing with venomous snakes.
Here's what happened.
As soon as Wang Zhen and Liu Dewang left, Li Ningguang sat there, unwilling to get up. The mountain path had left his legs weak and sore, making him feel lightheaded and powerless. This rest only made the problem worse.
When you relax your body, the soreness comes. It feels like your legs don't even belong to you anymore.
Li Ningguang asked, "How much further is Wenqiang?"
"Boss, we're only one kilometer from Qingshuiping!" Du Wenqiang said. Looking at Li Ningguang, he was a little worried. The boss, unlike them, was tough and had walked a long way; he was almost at his breaking point.
"Boss, shall I help you walk in a bit? It's not far from Qingshuiping, where you can rest."
Li Ningguang nodded reassuringly: "Luckily, you and Wang Zhen are here!"
These words made Du Wenqiang very grateful. Being appreciated and recognized is the greatest comfort to them.
Moreover, Li Ningguang has never treated them badly.
“This mountain road is difficult to walk, it’s like a workout. When I was young, walking a few miles was no big deal. But now, as people get older, they have a lot of health problems, and my legs hurt badly even after walking this short distance! It seems I should start exercising,” Li Ningguang continued.
He said this many times, but he always forgot it every time he went back. He never actually did it.
Du Wenqiang laughed and said, "What the boss says is true. You should start exercising. If you stick to it for a month or two, I guarantee you'll be stronger than this young man!"
"Haha, I'm getting old, getting older year by year. How can I compare to a young man?" That sounds so comforting, especially when a man is displaying his prowess in bed.
This is the kind of thing I want to hear most!
"Snap!" Li Ningguang leaned back and pulled down the branch behind him, but he felt a bite.
I immediately heard a hissing sound.
snake!
Du Wenqiang reacted quickly and helped Li Ningguang up. The three-yellow-spotted snake flicked its tongue and attacked him.
A flash of cold light, and a splatter of red blood fell, severing the thick, three-spotted snake, over a foot long, in two. It landed with a thud on the ground.
But the snake, though broken in two, did not die and continued to struggle.
Du Wenqiang disregarded the fact that most snakes with triangular heads are venomous. Although he couldn't immediately identify the type or venom of the snake, he dared not be careless.
Li Ningguang's middle finger felt numb, and two drops of blood were clearly visible. His face turned pale: "Is this snake poisonous?"
He then realized he had been bitten by a snake! The numbness in his finger was due to venom!
"Boss, don't worry, there aren't any very poisonous snakes in these mountains. Besides, we brought a lot of antivenom," Xiao Du Wenqiang reassured him while quickly pulling out a rubber band and tightly wrapping it around Li Ningguang's forearm.
Prevent snake venom from traveling through the bloodstream to the heart!
"I feel a little dizzy," but as Du Wenqiang busied himself administering snake venom antivenom to Li Ningguang, the increasingly intense numbing sensation caused Li Ningguang to faint. The journey had left him exhausted, his body weak and empty, and the sudden shock of the snake bite had rendered him unconscious.
"Boss, wake up!" Du Wenqiang was getting anxious.
But after administering antivenom and applying snakebite medication to the wound, he was helpless.
He wasn't sure what kind of snake was on the ground.
But how could the snake that bit the boss be allowed to escape with only half of it remaining? Du Wenqiang stomped on the small, thick snake until it stopped moving.
"Zhang Guodong, it's all your fault! If you hadn't delayed everyone's schedule, how could the boss have been bitten by a snake?" Du Wenqiang became even more resentful towards Zhang Guodong.
This whole thing actually has something to do with Zhang Guodong. The delay meant the snake happened to be near where Li Ningguang was resting. But if he had been with Zhang Guodong, wouldn't everything have been fine?
Anyway, Du Wenqiang got anxious and quickly called Wang Zhen.
But there's absolutely no cell phone signal in this godforsaken place, so you can't make any calls.
He wanted to go find Wang Zhen, but he was worried that something might have happened to Li Ningguang.
Wait for Zhang Guo
"After Nawangtou appeared at the corner, Du Wenqiang showed his resentment without restraint! "What? The boss was bitten by a snake?" Wang Zhen was immediately anxious and ran over in three steps. Sure enough, he saw Li Ningguang pale-faced, sweating profusely, and had fainted.
The finger was clearly bandaged.
Du Wenqiang said resentfully to Zhang Guodong, "If anything happens to the boss..."
Upon seeing that Li Ningguang had indeed been bitten by a snake, Zhang Guodong abandoned his grudge. After all, the lives of everyone in their group were of utmost importance at that moment!
Wang Zhenjian scolded, "What are you yelling about regarding that snake?"
After being imprisoned for a year, Du Wenqiang immediately pointed it out to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen gasped in shock: "The Serpent of the Far North?"
He then hurriedly asked, "What kind of antivenom did you give the boss? What kind of snake medicine did you apply?"
Du Wenqiang hurriedly said.
Seeing Wang Zhen's grim expression, Zhang Guodong immediately asked, "How is it, Brother Li? Is there any danger?"
“The boss is physically weak and has a low immune system. Although he has been injected with snake venom serum and treated with snake medicine, he needs to find a place to rest. It’s easy for problems to occur here!” Wang Zhen said in a deep voice.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry to Dewang in Qingshuiping and find two thick tree branches to make a stretcher!" Zhang Guodong said immediately.
Liu Dewang was still hesitant, wondering if there might be snakes in the tree. The snakes had just come out of hibernation and were frantically searching for food. What if they got a bite?
But Zhang Guodong had already taken action. He went up the mountain to find a smaller, thicker tree trunk and heard a cracking sound. It turned out that Zhang Guodong had kicked a tree trunk as thick as an arm and snapped it in two!
How much force does it take to kick a tree trunk as thick as an arm in half?
Liu Dewang shrank back, and even Wang Zhen and Du Wenqiang were surprised, their eyes narrowing. To kick down such a thick tree, one would need to be incredibly fast and have extremely concentrated explosive power—a very demanding requirement.
When Liu Dewang followed Zhang Guodong timidly, he could only pick up tree trunks.
"That's enough, chop the branches!" After Zhang Guodong kicked down two trees, he handed the task of chopping the branches over to Liu Dewang.
The rope is hemp rope; everyone has it in their bag.
A simple stretcher was quickly made.
But the biggest problem is that Li Ning weighs over 170 pounds! Not 17 pounds!
Even carrying him up the mountain path was no easy feat, even with Wang Zhen and Du Wenqiang on their backs.
Zhang Dedong, however, will not take responsibility for this. Liu Dewang will likely be the one to suffer in the end.
Seeing that it was hopeless to ask Zhang Guodong to carry the load, Du Wenqiang frowned and said to Liu Dewang, "Liu Dewang, you carry a carrying bag. Or you can carry a stretcher, but remember, if the boss gets hurt while carrying a stretcher, hmph!"
Zhang Guodong thought to himself that carrying such a fat man up a mountain path was no easy task. At this moment, it seemed Li Ningguang was probably alright, but he needed to recuperate.
Suddenly, the image of the grandfather and grandson came to mind, and their eyes lit up.
Since the herb gatherers living in the mountains must possess medical skills, right? Encountering attacks from wild animals and snake bites is common in the mountains; they must have their own unique methods for dealing with them!
Looking back, the grandfather and grandson had already vanished without a trace.
It's a bit of a shame!
As Zhang Guodong passed the dead venomous snake, a thought struck him: "I've heard snake gallbladders have antidotal properties; is that true?" He continued, "It's alright that the snake is dead. But it's a shame to throw away its gallbladder!"
Feeling a bit strange, I suppressed the goosebumps and groped around inside the snake's belly for a while before finally pulling out something no bigger than a little fingernail—it must be the snake's gallbladder!
The four of them, carrying a stretcher, walked more than a kilometer along the mountain road, which was much more tiring than the previous three kilometers.
Of course, Zhang Guodong and Li Ningguang on the stretcher were the most relaxed.
Even Liu Dewang was exhausted.
He was carrying large and small bags, and also a few wild rabbits and pheasants in his hands; his face was filled with hardship. Others who served under a master lived a life of luxury, but he hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it before he started suffering.
Oh dear. What if the boss dies?
He dared not think any further.
"Mr. Zhang, you look so relaxed," Liu Dewang said obsequiously, seeing Zhang Guodong's relaxed demeanor.
Zhang Dedong knew exactly what he was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "You want to carry my bag? Fine. I'm tired right now."
Liu Dewang shook his head hurriedly.
Zhang Guodong smiled, completely unconcerned. He thought to himself that Bai Jiawei and Li Hongbo had arrived quickly; it seemed they were about to meet up. How strange. How did they know the route? To the rocky cliff?
The grandmother and grandson probably wouldn't lie to him.
By the time everyone arrived at Qingshuiping, it was already dark. Thanks to Liu Dewang for leading the way with his flashlight, otherwise they would have had to spend the night by the mountain road.
"We're here! We've arrived at Qingshuiping! We'll be there once we get up here!" Liu Dewang exclaimed excitedly.
"Have we arrived yet?" A low, weak voice came from the stretcher.
"Boss, you're awake?" Du Wenqiang said happily.
Zhang Guodong stared in disbelief. He thought to himself, "Is this some kind of joke? You woke up as soon as we arrived? Weren't you already awake on the stretcher? And then pretending to be unconscious?"
That's brilliant! That fatso is incredibly cunning!
Bi: Haha, this is the second update today. I've included it earlier because everyone has activities planned for the afternoon and evening. Have fun, everyone! But please be careful, whether you're walking or setting off firecrackers.
Finally, I wish everyone a prosperous Year of the Tiger! May you have lots of money! (Please vote with your monthly tickets, haha!)
