Chapter 266 Attraction?
"How is it? Are there any discomforts in your bones and internal organs?"
The strangulation of a python is very terrifying. It can cause a person's blood pressure to soar, eyeballs to bulge, and blood vessels in the brain to burst.
The only time Mu Xi felt a lack of oxygen in his brain and blackness in front of his eyes was when he was just released, but he didn't feel any internal injuries at the moment.
Seeing him shake his head, Zhao Yeqing felt a little relieved and checked his wound.
Two bites, one on the shoulder and one on the calf.
My right hand was already paralyzed, and now my left shoulder was bitten.
Mu Xi endured the pain and took off his coat. The shirt underneath was completely stained red with blood, and through the torn clothes he could see the flesh that had been bitten open.
The python's teeth are barbed, so it is not easy to break free from being bitten. Just now, after the python let go, a large piece of flesh was torn off the wound.
Zhao Yeqing frowned with heartache and gently helped him take off his clothes to prevent them from sticking to the wound.
Both of them habitually carry a small medical bag when they go out, which contains common medical supplies such as gauze, alcohol, and iodine.
After rinsing off the blood stains with saline, disinfect it again carefully with iodine tincture. The disinfectant is too irritating and will reduce the activity of white blood cells. After disinfection, rinse it again with saline.
The most important thing now is to prevent infection and stop bleeding. When the wound is too large in the early stage and there is no bleeding, you cannot use medicine at will, including various powders with hemostatic effects.
It would be best to use physical methods to stop the bleeding. Fortunately, the artery was not bitten. After wrapping the wound, pressing and bandaging it, the bleeding stopped.
Oral anti-inflammatory drugs must not be left out. Open the kettle and feed Mu Xi water and medicine.
After finishing the operation, Zhao Yeqing's tense nerves relaxed, and his body lost all strength in an instant. He didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not. He sat down, leaning against the big rock behind him, and didn't want to move at all.
Even now, the snake's nerves, which had not yet completely died, were still twitching.
Mu Xi's face was a little pale. After filling the gun with bullets, he leaned against the stone to rest, and wrapped Zhao Yeqing's hand in his broad palm.
After recovering some of his strength, Zhao Yeqing remembered to look around.
The two of them ran all the way, not daring to go to places where the weeds were too dense. They walked wherever they could, and they didn't know where they were going all the way.
The environment here looks similar to the previous one. There aren't too many weeds, and most of them are big trees with a long lifespan.
The sky above was completely blocked, with only a few rays of light coming through the leaves, which swayed in the wind, casting hazy shadows.
The only sounds I could hear were their breathing and the rustling of leaves.
Zhao Yeqing originally thought that he was so nauseated that he could not stand it anymore, but unexpectedly, he felt hungry and actually had an appetite to eat.
Mu Xi pulled the backpack behind him to the front and said, "Eat something first to recover your strength, and then walk back the same way."
In the bag was the fried sweet potatoes I had made in the morning, and two pancakes with shredded potatoes wrapped inside.
Mu Xi couldn't eat sweet potatoes anymore because they were fried and not good for his wounds. Zhao Yeqing gave him both cakes and he finished the whole bowl of fried sweet potatoes under Mu Xi's helpless and resentful gaze.
After finishing the meal and resting for a while, Zhao Yeqing helped Mu Xi stand up and looked at the python that was motionless on the ground.
He took out a bag from his backpack and said viciously, “Don’t waste it, or you’ll be bitten in vain.”
Mu Xi's wound was aching, but he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Are you not afraid anymore?"
Zhao Yeqing found that he was indeed not that scared anymore. It turned out that courage can be acquired through training.
She had never handled a snake before, but Mu Xi's hands could not move very well now, so she could only follow Mu Xi's instructions and do the dissection herself.
It is impossible to bring all of them back.
Only a small amount of meat can be taken away, as well as parts such as snake skin, snake gall, snake oil, etc.
Zhao Yeqing endured the stench and nausea and cut off the parts he wanted to take away with a knife. He didn't have a suitable knife, only a folding dagger, and it was not very convenient to cut up such a large snake body.
The snake must have not eaten for a while, and its stomach was empty with only a few bone residues.
I was mentally prepared before the autopsy, but I was still a little shocked when I saw the snake gall.
She had never seen such a big snake gall, it was bigger than her fist.
This thing is very effective in clearing heat and detoxifying. If I had gotten this snake gall when I had an ulcer in the summer, it would have been cured.
After she packed all her things, she thought about finding some water nearby to wash her hands.
I thought that with such high humidity here, water should be easy to find, but after walking for a long time following the traces of vegetation and moss on the ground, I still didn't find any water.
Mu Xi couldn't walk for too long because of the wound on his body. Zhao Yeqing frowned and said, "Then don't wash your hands. Anyway, there is a lot of snake blood on your body. Let me help you down the mountain first."
I plan to return the same way I came and walk in the direction of home. I shouldn’t get lost.
It was just a should after all. After the two of them walked around in circles, they were sure that they were indeed lost.
The sky was gradually getting darker, and it would only be more dangerous to continue walking blindly.
The two men simply found a place that was far away from the snake's corpse and would not be affected by the smell of blood and had some shelter to spend the night and leave the next day.
The humidity in this mountain is quite high. Just as night fell, a light drizzle began to fall, and the humidity gradually increased.
The two of them had brought a tarpaulin in their backpacks when they went out. Their original intention was to use it as a placemat to lay on the ground to rest, but now it was just the right size to set it up and use it as a rain shelter.
It’s just that the branches and leaves of the big trees above are lush, so even without a tarpaulin, we won’t get too much rain.
I didn’t expect to spend the night in the mountains, and I didn’t bring a sleeping bag, so I could only rest against a big tree nearby.
Zhao Yeqing walked to a place where there were not too many leaves to provide shelter, washed his hands with the rain, and picked up some firewood and stones.
It is not easy to make a fire when it rains, so Zhao Yeqing laid stones on the ground first and then put branches on it to make a fire, in case there was a heavy rain at night and the damp soil underground spread over and affected the fire.
Under the warm yellow firelight, Mu Xi's face was pale.
Zhao Yeqing fed him the medicine again and said, "Go to sleep first. You need to rest well, otherwise your wound won't heal and you won't be able to go out tomorrow."
Mu Xi pursed her lips, knowing that now was not the time to show off.
"If there's any danger, just call me."
Zhao Yeqing was about to nod when the big tree behind him shook abnormally. The friction of the leaves caused both of them to have an instant stress reaction.
At the same time, the image of the giant python coiled on the tree appeared in my mind.
No way, is there another one?
Or maybe it was an animal attracted by the smell of snake blood which was not too far away?
Zhao Yeqing held the gun tightly in his hand, bent his knees, and was ready to counterattack at any time. Mu Xi was unable to move, and hid under the tarpaulin, clenched his fists, and looked alert.
