The camp was not far ahead, with several army green tents set up there.
The camp was eerily quiet, and in broad daylight, even the people from Qiao Village were seen covered in sweat.
Most of the tents were filled with tools, and only a few had a few beds.
"Why are there so few beds? I remember when the archaeological team passed by our village, there were more than a dozen of them!"
Dashuan walked around all the tents but didn't see anyone.
"Where did this person go? Could it be that he was really captured by that thing and taken to the tomb?"
Qiao Erbao was standing in the middle of the crowd with hunched shoulders, peeking out and muttering.
"Very likely!"
Song Ning nodded seriously, "Be careful at last, that thing loves to bully the timid."
“Really?!”
Qiao Erbao's body began to tremble. He was the least courageous of all the people, so he was the most dangerous.
"Fake!"
Song Ning burst into laughter, "Don't worry! There's nothing dirty here."
"This ancient tomb is quite old. The bones have all turned to ashes. Where did this dirty stuff come from?!"
"You can't... put it that way... Just because bones turn to ashes doesn't mean that dirt will turn to ashes too, right?"
Song Ning's words obviously couldn't convince Qiao Erbao. His body trembled even more violently, and he wanted to shrink behind Song Ning.
"Ahem...stay away!"
Qiao Bo stood next to Qiao Erbao with a stern look on his face, "If you stick out your claws again, I'll throw you out!"
Qiao Erbao embarrassedly retracted his claws that were about to grab Song Ning's clothes. He was just too scared!
Isn’t Song Ning a fortune teller?
People like them always have their own ways to save their lives. Isn't he thinking of taking advantage of Song Ning?
"When you examined the man just now, did you find any wounds?"
Song Ning glanced at Qiao Erbao indifferently, which scared Qiao Erbao.
This couple is so petty!
Each look is scarier than the other, the baby is scared!
"I didn't see any wounds on the exposed part of my body, and I don't know if there are any wounds under my clothes..."
Qiao Bowei took two steps back and used his body to completely block Qiao Erbao's sight.
I will never give Qiao Erbao any chance to spy on Song Ning!
Song Ning pointed to an inconspicuous mark on the ground and said, "Pay attention to his ankle later..."
"snake?"
Qiao Bo squatted down and took a closer look. The lines looked like traces of a snake crawling.
“There are also…”
Before Song Ning mentioned it, Qiao Bo didn't notice it. After Song Ning pointed it out, Qiao Bo found many traces of snake activities in the camp.
"It seems... there are a lot of snakes in the camp..."
“It’s a snake!”
Qiao Bo pulled up Liu Wen's trouser legs and searched carefully, and sure enough, he found two rows of tiny teeth marks on his ankles.
"Looking at the wound, it's probably a poisonous snake!"
The villagers deal with the mountains all day long, so they can naturally recognize the difference between bites from poisonous snakes and non-poisonous snakes.
The wound caused by a venomous snake bite is two rows of small tooth marks, with two symmetrical, needle-like large fang marks at the top.
The wound is deep, with local signs of bleeding, ecchymosis, blisters, blood blisters and even necrosis.
There is obvious swelling, pain, and numbness around the wound, and systemic symptoms are also obvious.
After being bitten by a non-venomous snake, the wound will have four or two serrated, shallow and fine tooth marks, with slight local pain and a little bleeding that disappears quickly.
Liu Wen's feet were an abnormally dark purple color, and it was undoubtedly a poisonous snake that bit him!
"He's starting to get dark purple spots on his calves. It's going to be hard to fix!"
The village chief lifted Liu Jun's trouser legs up again, and the dark purple stains were almost spreading to the bend of his calves.
"We just checked around, and there's no one else in this camp except him."
"How about we take him down the mountain first?"
Qiao Bo reached out and pressed on Liu Wen's calf, "I'm afraid you can't wait!"
"The road from our village to the town is blocked. Even if we were to go down the mountain now, it would take almost a day at our fastest pace..."
Qiao Bo didn't say the rest, but everyone knew it.
Liu Wen's injury can't wait...
"Are we just going to watch him die?"
Big Head was a kind-hearted man. He looked at the village chief and Qiao Bo and pleaded, "Is there no other way?"
"There is a way... not that there is no way..."
Song Ning walked over, used his spiritual power to randomly tap the base of Liu Wen's calf a few times, sealing several major acupoints on his leg to prevent the blood from spreading.
"Don't we have the old saying that where poisonous snakes roam, there must be an antidote within ten feet!"
"There is some truth to this statement!"
"We don't know what kind of venomous snake bit him, so we naturally don't know where to find the antidote."
"This still doesn't work!"
Qiao Erbao muttered something.
Song Ning glanced at him with a half-smile, "I can't find the antidote, but there's definitely no shortage of herbs for snake venom in the mountains!"
"Look around for Arisaema, Gentiana, or Seven-leafed Amaranthus..."
"Arisaema has serrated leaves, two pen-shaped branches, and multiple leaves gathered at the top in an umbrella shape."
"It should be the season for Arisaema to bloom now, so it should be easy to identify."
"Gentiana grows in clumps and has purple flowers. It's even easier to tell if it has seven leaves and one flower. Just look for it by the name!"
The village chief's face lit up with joy, "I'm glad he can be saved! I'm glad he can be saved!"
"Okay! Everyone, split up and look around..."
"Don't go too far, go in pairs, and come back as soon as you find it!"
The village chief repeatedly reminded the young man he brought with him that he had a lot of worries for him.
He picked them up from home personally, and of course he had to send them home safely.
Qiao Erbao felt that there was an ominous feeling here, and squatted beside Song Ning, refusing to leave.
Erxi pulled him several times but failed to move him, and laughed and called him a coward!
Song Ning glanced down at him condescendingly. Wasn't he mumbling happily just now?
Why are you so obedient now?
Qiao Erbao smiled at Song Ning ingratiatingly. He really didn't have anything against her!
He just can't control his mouth... Do you believe it?
Song Ning raised the corner of her lips slightly and turned to look at Qiao Bo, "Do you have a knife with you?"
Qiao Erbao shuddered. What was he doing with the knife?
"have!"
As expected, Qiao Bo took out a small knife from his "magic backpack".
"Where are the matches?"
Song Ning tilted her head. She became more and more curious about his "magic backpack".
"Give!"
Qiao Bo casually touched something and took out a box of matches.
"Take that pot and light a small fire..."
Song Ning smiled and instructed Qiao Bo, "Temperature the knife over the fire, then cut open his wound and squeeze out the poisonous blood."
"Wait a moment…"
Song Ning grabbed Qiao Bo's hand and checked it over and over again, even checking the gaps between his nails.
"Don't get any cuts on your fingers..."
"If there are wounds on your fingers, they will be infected if they come into contact with poisonous blood..."
"Okay! I'm not concerned about you... humph!"
Song Ning turned her head away proudly.
"I know!"
Qiao Bo looked at Song Ning with gentle eyes. How could he not love such a "little troublemaker"!
