Chapter 93 Exhausting the Wild Boar to the Point of Foaming at the Mouth
Qin Suisui was also angry. She hadn't expected Zhou Zecheng to still have designs on Su Yunyi and almost kill her! Fortunately, Zhou Zecheng appeared just as Su Yunyi finished urinating and was about to leave, otherwise Su Yunyi probably wouldn't want to live anymore!
Is this the original male protagonist? You scoundrel author! Don't you open your eyes and see how utterly ruined your male protagonist has become?!
However, now is not the time to pursue the matter. The most important thing is to find the antidote so that the snake venom in Su Yunyi's body can be completely cured.
Based on Jia Zhenzhen and Xie Ting's descriptions, if she wasn't mistaken, the snake that bit Su Yunyi was likely a white-lipped bamboo pit viper, an extremely venomous snake native to Qiongtan Island. The antidote she had given Su Yunyi could only temporarily stop the spread of the venom and ensure it wouldn't be life-threatening. Without a suitable antidote, it could lead to necrosis of some of her body's tissues.
Although the venom of each type of snake is different, there should theoretically be an antidote nearby where the snake is found. Moreover, antivenom is not readily available in hospitals; it is generally only found in provincial hospitals. Even if Su Yunyi is taken to a hospital, there is no guarantee that the corresponding antivenom will be available. Therefore, finding an antidote is the fastest way.
But before that, Su Yunyi was transferred to the base to prevent Zhou Zecheng from continuing to harass her when he returned to the educated youth settlement.
Su Yunyi didn't have much stuff. She had planned to move to the base before, so she had basically packed everything. The group didn't waste much time. Jia Zhenzhen carried Su Yunyi on her back, and the others carried the packages. They finished moving everything in two trips.
The base is surrounded by high walls and has a large iron gate with a large lock. Once the gate is locked, it is not easy for outsiders to get in.
"Sister Xie Ting, you stay here and watch over Sister Yunyi in case she gets a fever. Zhenzhen and I will go to the place where she was bitten before to see if there is any antidote."
Xie Ting nodded, looking somewhat guilty: "It's my fault for panicking at the time. I looked around and didn't see the antidote, so I quickly brought Yunyi back."
Qin Suisui patted her on the shoulder; in fact, her approach was correct. Not every snake habitat has an antidote nearby. Instead of wasting time searching, it was better to bring the person back for treatment as soon as possible. Actually, she wasn't entirely confident about the outcome this time, so in the wild, the most important thing was to prevent snake and insect bites.
After calming Su Yunyi down, Qin Suisui set off with Jia Zhenzhen.
The place where they gathered herbs was on another hill behind the herb garden. It wasn't far, but it would still take more than half an hour to get there. Jia Zhenzhen led the way, explaining the situation of the past two days as they walked.
"The herbs in the herb garden are growing very well. A small portion of the patchouli leaves had pests and diseases. I diluted the medicine you left over last time with water and watered it with it. It started to improve the next day. It's amazing!"
"We expect to observe for another month or so before we can promote its planting in the village."
“We’ve collected three batches of herbs in the past few days, and they’ve all been cleaned and dried. They’re currently stored at the base. This is the fourth batch. We were planning to deliver them to your family compound today after we finished collecting them, but then this happened…”
Qin Suisui nodded: "I've already made the medicine I brought back into pills. I'll send a bottle to the hospital when I have time to see if they need any. I'll take the rest back and process them later."
As they walked and talked, they picked all the useful herbs they encountered along the way. Soon they arrived near where Su Yunyi had been bitten, and they both subconsciously spoke in hushed tones, afraid of accidentally disturbing any snakes, insects, or rodents.
Logically, the antidote should be found within a 200-300 meter radius of where venomous snakes are known to be present. The two men spent a long time tapping and poking around in the grass with sticks, but found nothing. Qin Suisui frowned. Could it really be that there wasn't any? If so, they would have to go to a provincial hospital to see if they had any antivenom.
Still unwilling to give up, Qin Suisui expanded the search area by another two hundred meters and searched meticulously for another twenty minutes. Sure enough, under a clump of bushes, she found a plant with thick, juicy leaves. Qin Suisui's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over, gently touched the leaves, and smelled them. She was almost certain that this was the antidote herb!
She immediately took out her tools and dug it up, then turned around to show it to Jia Zhenzhen.
"Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen, we found it! Let's hurry... What is that thing!" Qin Suisui turned around but didn't see Jia Zhenzhen. Instead, she met a pair of dangerous eyes... It was a wild boar! About 2 meters tall, with short and sparse brownish-red hair, sharp tusks, and short and thick limbs, it made Qin Suisui's heart tremble.
She had encountered wild boars in Changbai Mountain, but this one was completely different. Moreover, the forests in Changbai Mountain were dense, and with the help of the big yellow and black boars, the vegetation in this area was relatively low, with many shrubs, making it impossible to find a tree to climb and hide in.
Jia Zhenzhen, with her back to Qin Suisui, turned around upon hearing Qin Suisui's shout, her voice immediately becoming excited: "Holy crap! It's a wild boar! Suisui, stay where you are! Let me deal with it!"
The wild boar was bowing its head and arching its shoulders, its tusks grinding together with a "click-clack" sound, clearly a signal to attack.
But Jia Zhenzhen was really eager to get started, his eyes were shining, and you could see eight teeth when he opened his mouth; he was clearly more excited than the wild boar.
Qin Suisui frowned, and for a moment she couldn't even tell which one was the wild boar!
"Zhenzhen, you're kidding! Be careful!"
Jia Zhenzhen grinned, showing her teeth: "What's there to be afraid of? I killed a wild boar when I was 12 years old. This one is even smaller than the previous one. It's just here to be eaten!"
Without even waiting for the wild boar to make a move, it charged straight towards it, actually intending to take the initiative! How arrogant!
The wild boar was not to be outdone. Seeing that this ignorant human had actually taken the initiative to challenge it, its anger intensified, and it charged at Jia Zhenzhen with its hooves.
Qin Suisui watched in horror, unable to help. In her anxiety, she focused all her attention on Jia Zhenzhen and didn't notice that another wild boar was slowly approaching her about 20 meters behind her.
When she realized something was wrong, the wild boar was less than ten meters away. Qin Suisui's hair stood on end. But Jia Zhenzhen was busy fighting the first wild boar and didn't notice what was happening to her. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!
Before the wild boar could charge, Qin Suisui had already taken the lead and ran out, shouting as she ran, "Zhenzhen, there's another one here! Help!"
If Jia Zhenzhen weren't here, she could hide in her spatial dimension or release Da Huang and Da Hei. But with Jia Zhenzhen here, she couldn't just disappear into thin air! And wait a minute, the hillside they're on isn't very high, so how could two wild boars have run down the mountain?
Qin Suisui's mind was in a mess, but her foot speed was not slow. She managed to widen the distance between herself and the wild boar from within ten meters to more than twenty meters. At this moment, she had to thank her grandfather for the "training" he had given her since childhood, which had allowed her to develop the "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique) for escaping, and she also had to thank herself for her daily morning runs over the years, which had not diminished her footwork in the slightest.
Jia Zhenzhen delivered the final punch, and the first wild boar finally collapsed to the ground. When she turned around to save Qin Suisui, she found that Qin Suisui had already left a trail of afterimages. The wild boars chasing after her were so exhausted that they were foaming at the mouth, and their speed had visibly slowed down.
Jia Zhenzhen laughed like crazy, rushed forward quickly and jumped onto the wild boar's back. The wild boar, which was already tired from running, staggered and almost fell to the ground. Just as it stabilized its body and was about to deal with the human who jumped on it, a huge fist came down and hit the wild boar in the face. The wild boar fell down with its big eyes wide open and unwilling to give up, and died with its eyes open.
Qin Suisui stopped, patting her chest to catch her breath, and gave Jia Zhenzhen a thumbs up: "Zhenzhen, you're amazing! You actually killed two wild boars!" Qin Suisui really didn't expect that this woman who loved wearing skirts could actually kill wild boars with one punch. The contrast was too great!
Jia Zhenzhen gave her a thumbs up: "Sui Sui, you're awesome too! I grew up in the military region and often went to the field for training with my dad and the others. I've seen thousands, if not tens of thousands, of soldiers. I've seen people hunt wild boars, gang up on wild boars, and be chased by wild boars. But this is the first time I've seen someone manage to exhaust a wild boar to the point of foaming at the mouth! Hahahaha! This wild boar wasn't my achievement; you completely wore it out. I just delivered the final punch!"
Before this, Jia Zhenzhen thought Qin Suisui was the kind of gentle, well-mannered lady who was gentle and knowledgeable. But after this experience, she discovered that Qin Suisui also had such a fierce and powerful side! She was too narrow-minded!
She grew up with her father, essentially in the military, which made her exceptionally outgoing and tomboyish. Before, when she was with Qin Suisui, she always had to remind herself to be reserved and not scare her. But after this experience, she discovered that Qin Suisui might be different from what she had imagined! She had so many surprises in store for her!
Immediately, Jia Zhenzhen's gaze towards Qin Suisui became even more fervent!
Qin Suisui, oblivious to the fact that the two wild boars were on the hillside, kicked at their hooves and asked, "What are we going to do with these two big guys?" They were probably weighing six or seven hundred pounds between them. How were they going to get them down? No matter how strong Jia Zhenzhen was, she couldn't possibly lift one with each hand.
Jia Zhenzhen chuckled: "Sui Sui, have you ever been to the black market?"
Qin Suisui's eyes lit up as she looked at her: "You mean..."
Jia Zhenzhen nodded vigorously, put her index finger to her lips, and made a shushing gesture: "Don't tell Commander Pei, that old man loves to tattle. I once caught a wild rabbit but didn't hand it in, and he told my dad, which made me get a good scolding from him."
Qin Suisui was taken aback: "Are you very familiar with Pei Jiuyan?"
She thought that Jia Zhenzhen had met Pei Jiuyan when she went to deliver food to him some time ago.
Jia Zhenzhen kicked her feet on the ground, trying to get rid of the dirt on her liberation shoes, and said with disgust, "Didn't I tell you? I grew up in the military region. My dad raised me like a boy. Whenever I had a holiday, he would take me to the training ground to train with them."
Fearing that saying this might affect Pei Jiuyan's image in Qin Suisui's eyes and ruin their marital relationship, she quickly added, "But that time was during a field training exercise. I was craving rabbits and secretly ran out of the camp to catch them. Pei Jiuyan found out, but he was doing it for my own good. You can't blame him for tattletales."
Qin Suisui couldn't help but laugh when she heard Jia Zhenzhen's implied meaning. In fact, Jia Zhenzhen was right; Pei Jiuyan did indeed "love to tattle"!
The two looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
Regarding the fate of the two wild boars, the two men unanimously decided to give one up and sell the other on the black market!
