"Can someone explain what's going on here?"
The sixth brother asked angrily.
Hainan Island is simply addictive; from the moment I arrived, it never stopped for a moment!
How many times has this happened?
Can you please stop eating fish? Please don't touch fish anymore!
Song Chengfeng roared inwardly.
"Sixth Brother, um..."
Song Chengxin, the tenth brother, spoke in a trembling voice. Compared to the ugly and fierce fish, he was more afraid of his sixth brother when he lost his temper.
"Just now, Third Brother said he wanted to avenge Shishi, and he picked up this fish from the ground. We hadn't even seen what happened..."
Third Brother screamed, "It's gotten like this..."
Song Chengxin explained.
Song Chengfeng glanced at the fish on the ground. Even though it had been thrown to the ground, it was still lively and jumping around. It was definitely not a good fish.
Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian had arrived long ago. Song Chengjian helped Song Chengxin lean against him...
The other brothers surrounded him.
Wen Shishi also looked worried and stood to the side, being hugged by her older brother.
Wen Shishi's face was serious. She kept glancing at her third brother, who was throbbing and numb, and then at the ugly fish on the ground...
Song Chengfeng carefully examined Song Chengxin's hand wound and found that the wound at the base of his thumb was red and swollen, exposing the wound.
Song Chengfeng turned around, glanced at the fish on the ground, and wondered if the fish's teeth were so powerful that they could bite a person like that.
But judging from the third brother's condition, it was clearly not as simple as just being bitten.
It's probably poisoning.
This fish is poisonous.
Song Chengxin's condition worsened; initially, it was just throbbing pain and intermittent spasms...
Although Song Chengfeng came to his side, the frequency of his convulsions increased significantly in a short while.
"Shake the person awake."
Song Chengfeng calmly gave the order, not knowing what kind of toxin the fish carried, as losing consciousness would be even more dangerous.
"Tenth Brother, fetch some water! Boil it, and prepare to decoct the medicine!"
Song Chengfeng quickly gave the order, took out a small knife from his pocket, and pried open the wound on Song Chengxin's hand.
Sucking on the wound, drawing out the fluid, and then spitting it out.
This process was repeated until no more could be extracted.
Although we don't know what the toxin is, we should always prepare for the worst.
"Sixth Brother, water!"
Song Chengxin carried the bucket over and poured a bowl for Song Chengxin first.
Song Chengfeng rinsed his mouth repeatedly and cleaned the bowl.
Seeing Song Chengxin's expression, Song Chengfeng frowned, couldn't wait to find chopsticks, and induced vomiting, his fingers moving even faster!
They pried open Song Chengxin's mouth, inserted their fingers deep into his throat, and pushed them forward several times...
Song Chengxin bent over in pain and suddenly vomited to the side.
The stench of blood still lingered in the courtyard, making the smell even more unpleasant.
But at that moment, the brothers felt a sense of relief.
Seeing how many times Lao Liu has saved people, and knowing that spitting it out might mean he's expelling the poison.
Without needing instructions from his elder brothers, the eighth brother quickly cleaned up the scene.
The fourth brother was strong and helped the third brother fill the water container.
The third brother's convulsions and spasms subsided, which relieved the eldest and second eldest brothers somewhat.
Song Chenghou noticed that Wen Shishi kept looking at the fish on the ground...
Then he tentatively asked, "Shishi, do you recognize the fish on the ground?"
Upon hearing this, all the other brothers looked at Wen Shishi.
Wen Shishi thought for a moment, nodded, and pointed to the ugly fish on the ground, "It's called a striped eel catfish."
Image from the internet.
"Lined patterns...eel catfish?"
The brothers were puzzled.
Wen Shishi nodded affirmatively, "It has a flat head and four pairs of whiskers around its mouth."
Its back is brownish-gray, with yellow stripes on its sides, and the outer edges of its fins are black.
The tenth brother asked curiously, "Shishi, tell your tenth brother, why could it bite our third brother like that?"
"It wasn't a bite..."
Wen Shishi said firmly, "It's a thorn."
"Spear?"
The brothers turned around in confusion, and Song Chengfeng also looked at Wen Shishi.
"Um."
Wen Shishi, acting like a little adult, continued to explain, "Its fins are hard and can secrete venom, which is very potent..."
Once stabbed, you'll experience a prolonged, throbbing pain, spasms, and even unconsciousness, just like Brother San did...
They could even lose their lives.
The brothers were shocked and looked at Song Chengxin again, filled with worry.
"Don't worry! With me here, how could I not save him?"
Song Chengfeng said lazily, though he was indeed alarmed. He had just been on high alert and was prepared to deal with the situation with the swiftest and most severe consequences...
Otherwise, if the toxins were to invade the internal organs, the consequences would be unimaginable.
