No one spoke for a moment because they didn't know who was in trouble.
After a long while, a frightened and somewhat weak voice came from a little further away.
"It's me. I accidentally fell into a trap. Come and pull me out."
Jiang Mengxue frowned. She remembered this voice. It was also the wife of a soldier who came with them. Her name was Wang Xia, and her husband was the battalion commander of the third regiment.
Because of the man, she always likes to be with Sister Liu Shuxia.
Wang Xia kept making noises, and everyone gathered around her based on the sounds.
"What's the situation down there? Are there any injuries?"
This place is all sandy, not a place to dig a trap. Who would dig a trap here for no reason?
Wang Xia's voice sounded like she was about to cry. She didn't know what was going on. She was walking just fine when she suddenly fell down.
"I don't know either. I sprained my ankle and felt like there was something next to me, but I couldn't see it."
Chen Lanying also frowned. Now that someone was injured, they must send him back immediately, otherwise everyone would be responsible if something happened.
"How about this? Let's use the straw rope to pull the person up first. Human safety comes first. The obstacles below are nothing more than those set by the trappers. We don't know how long they'll be there, and whether they'll still be useful is uncertain. It's more important to get the person up first."
Someone gave the order, and everyone else just followed it.
They went around to tie straw ropes around things.
Jiang Mengxue took out a matchbox and made a simple small torch with some tightly tied dry grass on top.
Because it is tied tightly, it is okay to burn it for a few minutes.
He held a torch close to the top of the trap to see how deep it was.
The trap cannot be made too shallow, otherwise the animal will fall into it and climb out without any effort.
But it can't be too deep, otherwise it would be pointless to go down and not be able to come out. Even if you catch prey, you won't be able to get it out.
Wang Xia saw that everyone above was her friend, so she felt more at ease and was not as scared as before.
With Jiang Mengxue taking the photo for her from above, she could see clearly what was happening below.
The ground was filled with sharp branches and a trap was placed in the middle.
But it must be because it is quite old and the branches are severely rotten. They break easily when squeezed by hand, so it doesn't cause any damage.
The so-called animal trap had been closed for some unknown reason, and Wang Xia was not trapped.
When I fell just now, I happened to fall on the animal trap, so my waist was hit and it hurt a little.
Also, I didn't stand firmly when I fell, and my left foot was twisted, but it's not a big problem.
After a while, a straw rope several meters long was made. Dong Guizhi tied one end to the tree and threw the other end down to Wang Xia, asking her to tie it around her waist while they pulled her up from above.
Wang Xia also knew that she could only rely on herself now, so she endured the pain and tied the straw rope around her waist.
It's just that because one of her feet was twisted and couldn't bear the weight, she couldn't use any strength at all.
It was not easy to pull someone up in this situation, and it took a lot of effort to pull her up.
As soon as Jiang Mengxue saw the person, she walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and tried to carry her up.
Although Wang Xia was not very fat, she had a big frame. She could not hold the baby by herself and almost fell down.
In the end, it was Dong Guizhi who came over to help with her quick eyes and hands, and successfully got the person up. The others collapsed exhausted on the side.
After a short rest, Jiang Mengxue went forward to check Wang Xia's foot injury.
There is a minor fracture but it is not too serious. You just need to rest for a while after reduction. During this period, you should not exert force on the injured foot.
She saw Wang Xia still lying on the ground gasping for breath, so she took advantage of her inattention and twisted her broken foot back in an instant.
"ah!!!!"
Wang Xia only felt a piercing pain, and before she could recover, she felt nothing again.
But others were shocked.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Mengxue looked at the way they were looking at her and spread her hands innocently.
"It's just a fracture, it's been put back together, it's nothing serious.
But we should also prepare to go back. It’s better to go to the hospital to have a doctor check out Wang’s injury to be on the safe side.”
After she reminded them, they remembered that Wang Xia was still injured. They didn't plan to waste any more time and immediately packed up and prepared to go back.
Several people also took out what they had picked to show everyone, and whoever didn't have any would share some with her.
Jiang Mengxue found a dozen Hami melons and gave two to each person. In the end, there was one left over, which of course belonged to Jiang Mengxue.
Although it was only one morning, everyone gained a lot.
Especially Jiang Mengxue, if she took these things back, she could get half more, at least she would have enough fruits to make canned food.
This time, only Jiang Mengxue came by bike, so naturally she had to ride her bike to send Wang Xia back first, and the others walked back slowly.
Wang Xia kept groaning in pain along the way. Not only was her foot injured, but her ribs on her chest were also bruised by the beast's claws.
If the person was a little fatter, it would be better to have some fat to block the impact, but Wang Xia just had a big frame and not much flesh on her body, so she suffered a lot from such a fall.
In addition, the road was not good on the way back, and the occasional bumps were enough to make her uncomfortable.
Jiang Mengxue was not very familiar with her and didn't know how to comfort her.
I just wanted to ride back quickly and take her to see a doctor as soon as possible.
It was more than half an hour later that she returned to the army. She rode her bike directly to the entrance of the health center.
Wang Xia could only walk with one leg, so Jiang Mengxue could only support her and help her jump in step by step.
Jiang Mengxue had been here before and knew where the doctor's office was, so she took her directly to Han Siyue.
Han Siyue is currently taking Mobao to learn how to walk in the office.
As soon as the little guy arrived, he captured the hearts of the sisters and aunts. He was hugged and kissed by one, and fed snacks by another.
Not only did he not consume any of the snacks that Jiang Mengxue prepared for him in the morning, but even Han Siyue's small backpack was full.
The two were having fun and were surprised to see Jiang Mengxue coming over.
"Sister-in-law, why are you back so early? Are you here to pick up Mo Bao?"
When Mo Bao heard that someone was coming to pick him up, he also reached out to ask Jiang Mengxue to hold him.
His calves were flapping so vigorously that Han Siyue could hardly hold him.
Seeing that Wang Xia had stood firmly by herself with the help of the wall, Jiang Mengxue walked forward, picked up Mo Bao and patted his little butt.
"Be careful, or you might fall down."
Then he turned to Han Siyue and said, "Sister Wang fell into a trap on the mountain and sprained her ankle. I wonder if she has any other injuries. Why don't you check her out first?"
Seeing that Wang Xia was indeed not moving at all, Han Siyue quickly stepped forward and helped her in to sit down.
"I don't know how to do anything. Sister-in-law, please sit here for a while. I'll go call a doctor."
After saying that, he ran outside without looking back.
