The situation is pretty dire now, but this is all we can do. No one knew that the village head would be bitten by this shit tower nearby.
"Everyone has to be careful. When you go back, check your sleeping place more to avoid snakes swimming in and hiding." Lin Rui reminded everyone. No one had seen this kind of snake during the heavy rain, but as soon as the sky cleared up, someone was bitten.
Perhaps all the black pythons in this area have been caught, leaving the surrounding snakes without natural enemies, so they all swam into this area.
Although the black python itself is not poisonous, poisonous snakes such as the bamboo pit viper and the dog shit tower are on its diet. During the rainy days, everyone ate enough snake meat, which may have some effect on mosquitoes. Everyone ate enough snake meat, and the mosquito bites really improved a lot.
When it just starts to rain, even if you use mugwort smoke to fumigate, the mosquitoes in the awning will buzz around you, as if they won't stop until they suck your blood.
Even though Lin Rui used a scalpel to make a cross-shaped wound on Lin Pingmao's leg where the snake had bitten him to drain the blood, the leg still inevitably became swollen. Sprinkling anti-inflammatory medicine on it accidentally prevented the wound from festering and becoming infected.
Perhaps it was because the rescue was timely and the blood clots were drained quickly, so no blood blisters appeared anywhere else except the bite wound.
The man was still in a coma. Lin Changtai stayed by his old father's side, while the others found long wooden sticks and kept hitting the surrounding grass and any place in the awning where snakes might appear.
Not to mention that we actually found three or four of them after knocking them around. They had gray bodies and iron-shaped snake heads. If you were bitten by one in the deep mountains without any tools to save yourself, you would just wait to die.
This area might really be a snake's nest. We just cleared out the black python, and now here comes the even more poisonous dog shit tower.
Zhao Qing and his group who went to check the trap set yesterday also hurried back to find Lin Rui. There was no other way. Now the village head was bitten by a snake and was unconscious. Lin Rui naturally became the backbone of everyone. They asked him for advice on everything.
"Lin Rui, we can't stay here any longer!" Zhao Qing said while breathing heavily.
Lin Rui also wanted to leave, but seeing how anxious he was, he simply asked, "What's wrong, brother-in-law? Did something happen?"
Zhao Qing stepped aside and waved his hand, asking Lin Ziming, Lin Zijun and the others to drag over the musk deer that had been eaten half by some wild beast and throw it on the ground.
This musk deer is one of the largest of its species. The largest musk deer weighs only more than 30 kilograms. Judging from its bones, this one must weigh at least 70 or 80 kilograms, which is close to 40 kilograms.
It should have been another hearty meal for everyone, but now the musk deer has been gnawed into pits from its hind legs to its abdomen, and some of its intestines and internal organs are still attached to the carcass. Flies and insects are flying around, all of them disgusting green-headed flies.
Chen Zhi shook his head repeatedly: "You guys are really something, why did you drag it back? Throw it away!"
Lin Ziming scratched his head and said, "We thought maybe there was some good meat on this musk deer..."
Lin Rui shook his head. It was already this bad, the temperature was still so high, and so many of the musk deer corpses had been eaten by large carnivores. The corpses were almost enough to breed poisonous insects. Who knew how many bacteria had been born from the decay and mosquito bites.
Rather than the half-deer carcass dragged out of the trap, Lin Rui was more concerned about the appearance of large predators around. The ancient hilltops were different from modern protected areas and scenic spots. There were really large carnivores such as jackals, tigers, leopards and black bears in them.
"Throw it away. The temperature is too high. Look, there are maggots in its stomach. If people eat this rotten meat, they will lose their lives." Lin Rui stopped him.
Because he knew that if the meat was spoiled, it would easily breed bacteria and the nitrite content would increase sharply. If eaten, it would cause nitrite poisoning, severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and in severe cases, coma.
Ever since Lin Zijun drank a mouthful of water from a stinky puddle last time and ended up vomiting and having diarrhea, which nearly killed him, he'd become much more cautious about the food and water he took in. Hearing Lin Rui's words, he immediately nodded in agreement to throw it away.
Chen Mei and Yu Lanhua moved their lips but couldn't say anything to refute.
According to them, the parts bitten by wolves, tigers and leopards should be cut off and thrown away. Wouldn't the meat that wasn't bitten be fine? When I was a child, I ate such cheap meat that my father bought from hunters, and nothing happened!
However, the last time they disobeyed Lin Rui, the lesson was too severe, causing these female members of the Lin family to develop trauma stress disorder. They would rather suppress their inner thoughts and follow Lin Rui's words.
The topic has to go back to what Zhao Qing and Lin Rui said before. It is really impossible to stay in this place for long now. It seems that the rainy season and the dry season are seamlessly connected. It rained heavily two days ago, but today the sun is making people very hot.
Fortunately, they were still in the woods, which provided some shade and made the body feel much more comfortable.
"Pack up, we have to go!" Lin Rui said, asking his father, elder sister and Sanliang and others to pack their luggage. Seeing this, the others also went back to their respective rain shelters to pack their things and prepare to take them away.
Lin Changtai and Zhao Qing led the cows out of the livestock shed and put the yoke on them again. The three big blue cows looked much thinner, and it was not known whether they were depressed from being locked up in the shed for a long time. They were clearly fed enough grass and fodder!
It is worth mentioning that the twelve little wild boars from each family have grown a lot, and their bellies are round. From a weight of more than ten kilograms, it is estimated that they weigh at least forty kilograms now. They are indeed omnivores and can grow big by eating anything.
"Master, master!" Sanliang ran over excitedly with Mu Tou, Niuniu and other children, and handed the things in the bamboo basket to Lin Rui as if presenting a treasure.
Lin Rui hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet, and it was a normal outcome. Zhu Lan asked, "What's wrong?"
As a result, he glanced down and immediately met a pair of round, black eyes in the bamboo basket. The whole body was covered with shiny hair and a long tail. The body was almost as big as a rabbit. He was so scared that he threw the bamboo basket away as if it was a conditioned reaction and shouted: "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
It seemed that only this way could he express the fear in his heart. Who could tell him that there were such big rats in the woods!
This must be a rat spirit!
They were on par with the giant southern rats he had seen in short videos before. Could the food in the mountains be so good? They were all so fat and strong.
"Ahhh, the mouse ran away!"
"Catch them quickly!"
"I stepped on its tail, Wood, hurry up and catch it!"
A few of the little ones were still shouting, attracting all the adults' attention.
